Siheyuan: Game of Red Dust

Chapter 112: Secondment, watching a "movie" in the cellar

"Well, you can just call me Sister Xiao'e from now on." Li Weidong said casually.

"Hmph, you stinky rascal. All you do every day is flirt with other women and attract bees and butterflies..." Zhou Xiaobai started chattering incessantly beside Li Weidong.

"Hey, you little girl, go away quickly and don't disturb me here." Li Weidong said.

"No! If you beg me, I might agree to you." Zhou Xiaobai said with his head held high.

"You beg me, right? Okay!" Li Weidong said, grabbed Zhou Xiaobai with a wicked smile, and spanked her on the butt twice.

"Ah!" Zhou Xiaobai's pretty face turned red instantly. She opened Li Weidong's hands, kicked Li Weidong's calf, called him a scoundrel, and ran away.

"I can't cure you, little girl." Li Weidong said happily, and then started to get busy.

After a while, Li Weidong prepared the meal and called a few children to help bring the food into the inner room.

Soon the dishes were served, and everyone sat down to eat. Perhaps Lou Xiaoe had become more familiar with them, so she wasn't so shy anymore, chatting about recent events while eating.

After finishing the meal and chatting for a while, Lou Xiao'e said goodbye and left, and Li Weidong went to see her off.

On the way, Lou Xiao'e said, "Brother Dong, Sister Xiaolin said that she would transfer me to your unit in a while."

Li Weidong said, "I know, but you're not being transferred there, you're being seconded. Our unit has a very high level of confidentiality and strict scrutiny, so we can only second you, just like Nan Yi. Your organizational relationship is still at the machine repair factory, and you'll be transferred to our unit for an indefinite period of time. Apart from your organizational relationship, it's no different from working in our unit."

"Oh, so that's the case. That's good too. Going to and from get off work with you guys is better than working alone in the machine repair shop." Lou Xiaoe said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you when we get back," said Li Weidong.

The two chatted and soon arrived at No. 95 Courtyard. When they got there, the front door was closed, so they could only go through the back door.

Opening the back door, Lou Xiaoe walked in.

"Brother Dong, would you like to come in and sit for a while? Can you check my recent study progress? I've learned some new things."

Lou Xiao'e cast a coquettish glance at Li Weidong and said charmingly.

"Then check it out." Li Weidong walked in, closed the door, picked up Lou Xiaoe, and walked towards the bedroom.

.........

At around 11:30, in Courtyard 95, the door of Li Weidong's house slowly opened, and Li Weidong walked out supporting Lou Xiaoe.

Li Weidong had originally planned to let Lou Xiaoe sleep here for the night, but Lou Xiaoe insisted on going back, fearing her mother would worry. Li Weidong had no choice but to send her back to the middle courtyard, where her mother lived.

As soon as the two walked to the middle courtyard, they saw two figures entering the cellar of He Yuzhu's house. They looked at each other. Li Weidong pointed at Lou Xiao'e's house, then pointed at himself, and then pointed at the cellar of He Yuzhu's house, signaling Lou Xiao'e to go back first and he would go and take a look.

Lou Xiao'e nodded, whispered "Be careful!" to Li Weidong, and then slowly walked towards her home.

Li Weidong watched Lou Xiaoe enter the house, then Li Weidong walked gently to the door of the cellar and listened carefully.

"Oh, be gentle, I have no money, give me some money."

"Okay, I'll give it to you later. Let's get down to business first."

"Ouch, don't bite there."

……

It turned out to be the white lotus Qin Huairu and the old man Yi Zhonghai. I didn't expect them to be so good at it! Well, let's find some audience for them and teach these people in the courtyard a lesson. They can stop just counting 123123 all day long. Li Weidong thought with a smirk.

Li Weidong turned around and walked towards He Yushui's house. When he arrived at He Yushui's door, Li Weidong knocked gently.

"Who is it?" He Yushui's voice came from the room.

"I'm Li Weidong." Li Weidong whispered. "Oh, Brother Dong, wait a moment!"

After a while, He Yushui's door opened. Standing at the door, He Yushui asked Li Weidong:
"Brother Dong, is there something wrong?"

"Go and wake up your brother. Someone has broken into your cellar. Be quiet and don't make too much noise. I'll go to the backyard and call a few people. Ask your brother to wait at the door first. We'll come together after we get there." Li Weidong said in a low voice.

"Ah? Oh, okay." After hearing this, He Yushui immediately widened his eyes, then ran gently to the door of He Yuzhu's room, opened the door and went in.

Li Weidong walked to Xu Damao's house in the backyard and knocked on Xu Damao's door.

"Who is it?" Xu Damao's impatient voice came from the room.

"I'm Li Weidong. I came out to see you about something." Li Weidong said.

"Okay, Weidong, please wait a moment." Xu Damao's flattering voice came.

After a while, Xu Damao and his wife Tang Chunyan opened the door.

Xu Damao said, "Weidong, what's the matter?"

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Da Mao, great news! Go call Second Uncle. Be careful and be gentle. I'll take you to see a pair of wild mandarin ducks later. They're better than the movie you showed."

Xu Damao was a little confused at first. It was better than the movie I was showing? Wild Mandarin Ducks?

Hmm! Xu Damao thought of something, his eyes immediately lit up, and without saying hello to Li Weidong, he ran directly to the second uncle's door and knocked gently.

After a while, the second uncle came over with his two sons and Xu Damao.

"Weidong, I brought the second uncle here. Where is the adulterer?" Xu Damao asked Li Weidong in a low voice.

"Let's go quietly. It's in the cellar of He Yuzhu's house! Let's go!" After saying this, Li Weidong tiptoed towards the middle courtyard. Xu Damao and the second uncle also followed quietly.

When Li Weidong and his companions walked to the middle courtyard, they saw He Yuzhu and He Yushui standing at the door of his house. Li Weidong waved to them, pointed to the cellar, and then led them to the cellar door. He Yuzhu also walked over quietly.

When the group arrived at the cellar door, they faintly heard Qin Huairu's moans from inside. Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he put his face against the door and looked inside through the crack.

When Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu saw Xu Damao like this, they both stepped forward and looked inside through the crack in the door.

The two men inside were just about to sprint forward when, amidst a burst of fierce applause, Yi Zhonghai growled and…

"Oh, why did you get inside again? What if I get pregnant again? Jia Dongxu is gone now. I'm a widow and I'm pregnant. How can I survive?" Qin Huairu complained.

"You have to give me a son to carry on the family line. Are Xiaodang and Huaihua the only ones who can do it? Don't worry, when you get pregnant, I'll let that idiot marry you. That idiot is obsessed with you anyway, so it's a good opportunity for him to raise our child, and then he'll have to take care of me in my old age." Yi Zhonghai said with a wicked smile.

"That Shazhu is so sloppy. I feel sick just seeing his face. Do you really want me to marry him?" Qin Huairu said with a look of grievance.

"Huai Ru, there's nothing we can do. Sha Zhu is the only one in our courtyard. The others are too smart. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. As long as you give me a son, all my money and house will be given to you in the end." Yi Zhonghai said comfortingly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Huai lay in Yi Zhonghai's arms like a little bird.

"Huai Ru, clean it up for me and then we can go back. If we stay out for too long, we'll be easily discovered." Yi Zhonghai said.

"I'm so annoying. You only know how to treat others badly!" Qin Huairu gave Yi Zhonghai a charming look, then squatted down and started eating.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong, who were outside the door, heard this and looked at Sha Zhu beside them. Sha Zhu's face was already red with anger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing. He Yuzhu was extremely angry.

Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong were about to say something to He Yuzhu when they saw He Yuzhu take a step back and kick hard at the cellar door.

"You two bastard boyfriends, you dare to plot against your grandfather? I'll beat you to death today!" He Yuzhu shouted, kicked the door open and rushed in.
