Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Qin Jingru asked in confusion: "Da Mao, what does this have to do with my cousin?"

"Qin Huairu is my cousin, and we live in the same courtyard. It's impossible for us to meet without talking..."

Xu Damao frowned and replied: "Qin Huairu is not a good person. Being with her will only bring harm and no benefit."

"I tell you……"

"The main reason why that bastard Shazhu took revenge on me was because I married you."

"But you hadn't gone on a blind date with He Yuzhu at the time, so my marrying you wasn't really a steal, but that bastard Shazhu hated me. If you say Qin Huairu didn't instigate this, I won't believe it even if I die."

"Also, do you know why this woman Qin Huairu introduced you to Sha Zhu?"

Qin Jingru nodded to herself: "I know this."

"My cousin told me..."

“There’s a monthly supply in the city, so you won’t go hungry.”

"If I continue to stay in Qianjia Village, my parents might marry me off to someone in the village one day, and I'll suffer for the rest of my life."

"My cousin didn't want me to suffer in the village, so she called me to the city and introduced me to Sha Zhu."

Xu Damao glanced at Qin Jingru and replied, "Bullshit..."

"Qin Huairu is not as good as you think."

"The reason I introduced you to He Yuzhu is not because I couldn't bear to see you suffer in the village, but because I wanted to scheme against you. Through you, I wanted to tie Shazhu to my side and let the Jia family continue to suck his blood."

"Do you know where Sha Zhu's salary at the steel mill went?"

"You won't think of it."

"I gave a small portion of my salary to Yi Zhonghai, and kept a few dollars for my living expenses. The remaining half went to Qin Huairu."

"Qin Huairu earns more than 20 yuan a month, and she takes more than 10 yuan from Sha Zhu every month, which definitely adds up to more than 40 yuan. Yet she still complains about being poor in the yard every day. Do you still think your cousin Qin Huairu is a good person?"

"If Sha Zhu finds someone to marry, his monthly salary will definitely be managed by his wife, and Qin Huairu will have no chance to continue calculating his salary."

"It would be different if you married Shazhu."

"Shazhu is Banggeng's godfather, and you are Banggeng's aunt. With Qin Huairu's means, even if Shazhu really gives you his salary, he will have plenty of ways to scheme against him."

Qin Jingru didn't expect that there were so many things hidden behind her cousin's blind date introduction. Her whole face was replaced by anger, and she wanted to rush to Qin Huairu's house immediately to find out the truth.

But reason told her that even if she went to Qin Huairu's house, Qin Huairu would not admit what she had done.

Fortunately, I did not fall for it and did not marry He Yuzhu, otherwise I would have become a tool in my cousin's hands and been used and schemed by her all my life.

I nodded quickly: "Da Mao, I will listen to you from now on."

"Even if I run into Qin Huairu in the yard, I will just say hello to her and never make close friends with her."

…………

Diagonally opposite is Yi Zhonghai’s house.

Since he returned home, Yi Zhonghai has had a gloomy face, frowned, and was in a very bad mood.

He Yuzhu was sitting nearby and was very anxious. He wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai several times about Xu Damao and why the Security Department released Xu Damao when there was irrefutable evidence. But when he saw Yi Zhonghai's expression, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth unconsciously.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Zhonghai, with a solemn expression, finally spoke: "Pillar..."

"The security department did nothing wrong in this matter. We were just too careless."

"For some reason, the widow you found suddenly changed her mind and said she would not report it."

"Without a whistleblower, Xu Damao's crime of having affairs with both men and women cannot be established." "Then what about the fact that he borrowed money from the commune by showing movies?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and replied: "Xu Damao said that he bought it with his own money, but the commune leaders saw that he was working hard to show movies and did not charge him."

"I even made a self-criticism in front of the security department leader and promised that next time I go to the commune to show a movie, I will pay the money that is due to the people and will never let the commune suffer any loss."

"The commune leaders criticized Xu Damao and then released him."

He Yuzhu couldn't figure it out, looking at Yi Zhonghai and muttering to himself: "How could this happen..."

"The widow who went to the steel mill to report took 200 yuan from us and promised to prove that Xu Damao had committed adultery. Why did she suddenly go back on her word?"

"I'm going to find him now to find out."

"Since he doesn't agree to report Xu Damao, then return the two hundred yuan he took from me."

After saying that, He Yuzhu was ready to push the door and walk out.

"return……"

Yi Zhonghai cursed angrily: "I have already found out everything about this matter."

"After Xu Damao was arrested by the security department, his wife Qin Jingru went to look for the widow you found. Then the widow gave up reporting the case and left the city in a hurry."

"If I'm right, it should be that Qin Jingru gave the other party more money, so the widow dared to go back on her word in front of the security department."

"Even if you go to the village and find the man now, as long as he denies it, you will still either get the 200 yuan or get beaten up by anyone in the village."

"besides……"

"Xu Damao was suddenly arrested and taken to the security department. Anyone with a little bit of common sense would know that he was being plotted against."

"If you go find that widow now, wouldn't that be walking into Xu Damao's trap and telling him that you were the one who schemed against her?"

"This time it was because we didn't think it through, and Xu Damao took advantage of the situation and was released by the security department."

"Next time we encounter a good opportunity to deal with Xu Damao, we must think carefully in advance and never let him find any flaws again."

"But after this incident, Xu Damao will definitely become more cautious in his actions, and it will be difficult to catch him again."

He Yuzhu asked back with a look of reluctance: "Godfather..."

"Then let's just leave it at that..."

"We don't want the two hundred dollars anymore?"

"Or I can go find other widows who have had relationships with Xu Damao and persuade them to report Xu Damao to the security department for having affairs with other women."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "It's useless..."

"You can only use the same method once. If you use it again, it won't work."

“And the security department will not allow them to report their own workers.”

"Xu Damao will definitely rush to find those widows before you and solve all the problems."

"When you find them, I don't think any widow will admit that she has any relationship with Xu Damao."

"We can only admit defeat in this matter."

"I'll look for a good opportunity to deal with Xu Damao later."

"The most urgent task now is not to alert the enemy and let Xu Damao relax his vigilance. Only in this way will he reveal his flaws."

"If you let him know that we are plotting against him behind his back, he will definitely be on guard against us." (End of this chapter)
