The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 149: Fooling the Ghost
Liu Haizhong nodded: "I've thought about this, too. Liu Hua does believe in science, but he might get married. His wife is not an engineer. She is a believer in feudal superstition. You must put a stop to this unhealthy trend and not let this woman corrupt our engineers."

"Liu Hua is a revolutionary successor who can stand the test." Director Wang said in disbelief: "They can allow their family members to engage in feudal superstition. I would rather believe that you are joking."

"You didn't see how much Liu Hua loves his wife." Liu Haizhong said confidently: "It's because he spoils his wife too much that he just pretends not to see what she does."

I have to say that the reason Liu Hai gave is very reasonable. Looking at our history, how many heroes have been obsessed with women and have done many perverse things.

There are many predecessors in this field. In ancient times, there are King Jie of Xia, King Zhou of Shang, and King You of Zhou. These are the more famous and popular ones. There are many more, too many to list one by one.

Since Liu Haizhong came to report it, Director Wang felt that he still needed to take a look. If it was really like what Liu Haizhong said, he would do his duty and give a good criticism and education. As long as the matter could be settled, he would try to let it go as lightly as possible.

Seeing Director Wang nod in agreement, Liu Haizhong said happily, "Then you work overtime tonight and we'll catch him in the act."

"Why do we have to go at night? Can't we just go after get off work?"

Director Wang was also afraid that Liu Feifei was really engaging in superstitious activities. As long as she was not caught in the act, there was still room for reversal.

"Aren't you afraid that he won't admit it?" Liu Haizhong said worriedly, "These people are very cunning. If you don't catch them in the act, they will definitely turn the tables on you."

Director Wang saw through Liu Haizhong. This guy had ulterior motives and just wanted to climb up by stepping on others.

But since Liu Haizhong had reported it, and he did it in front of other people in the street office, Director Wang had to go there and just make a show of it.

Before ten o'clock that evening, Liu Haizhong quietly opened the gate of the compound, and Director Wang walked in with two comrades from the street office.

"Is it starting to burn?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head: "No, but according to past experience, the time is about right."

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Feifei lit a match and put all the draft papers Liu Hua used for calculations today into the basin.

There is a difference between firelight and light. When Liu Haizhong saw the flickering firelight, he suddenly became excited. Without waiting for Director Wang's instructions, he went straight to the door and knocked.

Or maybe it shouldn't be called "knocking on the door" but "pounding on the door" to wake up everyone in the yard who has fallen asleep.

Everyone, wearing their clothes on, peeked outside and saw Liu Haidong pounding on the door of Liu Hua's house. They started discussing with each other what had happened.
"Liu Hua, you are practicing feudal superstition at home, get out of here."

Liu Hua asked his wife to put on some clothes, then opened the door and said angrily: "Liu Haizhong, I gave you face, which eye do you think I am a feudal superstitious person?"

"You didn't do it, but your wife is a believer in feudal superstition." Liu Haizhong said self-righteously: "I've seen it several times. Your wife has been burning paper money in the middle of the night and secretly flushing the ashes into the sewer. Do you think I don't know? Today I called Director Wang here just to catch you in the act."

Liu Hua said to his wife, "Fei Fei, don't burn it yet. Show the paper money to Liu Haizhong. Liu Haizhong, look carefully. The paper money you burn is white paper. Are you trying to fool Director Wang or the ghosts?"

Liu Haizhong was dumbfounded. There were many words written on the white paper. It was obvious that this could not be paper money.

Liu Haizhong immediately changed his words: "Why are you burning these white papers? Are you trying to pass on some information?" "I really want to shoot you." Liu Hua said angrily: "You can't even manage your own life, but you keep staring at other people's families all day long. If I pass the information to you, you will be my next customer."

Liu Haizhong put his hands in front of him and waved them left and right: "It's not me, you are framing me."

Director Wang shook his head: "Old Liu, do you know whether you can understand good or bad words?"

Director Wang pulled Liu Haizhong behind him, walked to Liu Hua, picked up the paper in Liu Feifei's hand, and saw a lot of numbers written on it. But he couldn't understand the specific content.

"Hua Zi, what on earth is going on?"

Liu Hua smiled and shook his head. "Recently, the factory is going to carry out technical reforms. My work is very busy. In addition to designing in the factory, I also have to bring a lot of work home for calculations. These papers are some of the draft papers I use for calculations. My wife said that these things cannot be leaked out. They are considered confidential projects, so she simply burns them every day after I finish work."

"Then why don't you say anything?"

Liu Hua glared at Liu Haizhong and said, "No one has ever asked me about it. There is always a big fool who thinks he is right. The world is just short of a good one. Besides, even if I told him, with his elementary school level, how could he understand what is written on it? He might really think I am passing on some information."

"Gaoxiao, I'm at Gaoxiao level."

Liu Hua said angrily: "So you admit that you are the big fool?"

Director Wang smiled and sighed, "Alright, Huazi, calm down. Although it was a misunderstanding, their intentions were good."

Liu Hua nodded: "I know his intentions were good, but he was just too stupid. Liu Haizhong, let me tell you, this is not the first time, and this matter is not over yet."

Director Wang patted his arms: "No retaliation."

"He's not worthy." Liu Hua said disdainfully: "Director Wang, why don't you come home for a cup of tea? It's so cold, come in and warm yourself up."

"No need. It's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to go to work tomorrow." Director Wang looked at the people watching and explained loudly, "This is a complete misunderstanding. There is no such thing as burning paper money or passing on information. Comrade Liu Hua's family just wanted to keep it secret and even burned their own draft paper. If I hear someone spreading rumors outside, I will definitely make him pay."

After Director Wang left, Liu Haidong felt somewhat uneasy. He had been demoted for beating a child before, and he might be punished again this time.

"Hua Zi." Liu Haizhong rubbed his hands awkwardly: "I mean well, please don't misunderstand me."

"Don't worry, I won't misunderstand you."

Liu Haizhong smiled flatteringly, but Liu Hua's next words made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

Liu Hua patted his shoulder and said with a fake smile: "I will definitely not misunderstand. I know you are here to cause trouble on purpose."
