Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

He Daqing could only settle his daughter down to sleep before putting on his coat and going out to check on things.

In front of Yi Zhonghai's house, a crowd formed a semicircle, silently watching Jia Zhangshi sitting on the ground, as well as Yi Zhonghai and his wife, without daring to utter a sound.

Yi Zhonghai snatched the kitchen knife from Yao Min's hand, and it fell to the ground.

The atmosphere was tense and very serious.

This time it's a real life-or-death situation, and the neighbors in the compound are not going to just watch the show.

If you accidentally get involved, you'll be in big trouble.

"Jia Zhangshi, what are you up to this late at night!"

The stalemate couldn't continue, and Yi Zhonghai, at the center of the storm, broke the calm.

"My son! My son is missing!"

Madam Jia burst into tears, as if her son had died.

Everyone's faces showed disdain. So this was the reason for all the commotion.

"Jia Dongxu is already twenty-two years old this year."

A grown person can't possibly be kidnapped by a child trafficker.

He's not coming back tonight; he's probably off having fun somewhere.

What’s the big deal?

He Daqing chuckled and slowly began to speak.

"Exactly, how could a living person just disappear?"

"Maybe he was having so much fun outside that he forgot about his mother."

The neighbors in the courtyard began to agree.

The capital city of Beijing is a place of great importance. Although there are still some saboteurs, they have no reason to target an ordinary citizen.

As long as Jia Dongxu doesn't do anything reckless, he's basically out of danger.

"But, but he has never stayed out all night!"

With tears streaming down her face, Jia Zhangshi continued to play the victim relentlessly.

“Mrs. Jia, this courtyard does not belong to your family.”

Don't disturb everyone's rest unnecessarily.

This will disrupt our daytime work and slow down the country's development; you can't afford that.

The mystery was revealed, and Liu Haizhong, full of confidence and official authority, reprimanded Jia Zhangshi.

"Yeah, they're always howling outside, can't a person have a moment's peace?"

The neighbors had long disliked Jia Zhangshi, and now that someone had taken the lead, they all began to criticize her.

Jia Zhangshi is thick-skinned, so her verbal attacks couldn't cause much harm.

Just as she was about to think about the joint, Yi Zhonghai began to disperse the crowd.

"Alright, that's all, everyone can go now."

If we really can't find them, there's nothing we can do.

If they're still not back by tomorrow morning, then we'll report it to the community security committee.

The city of Beijing is still under military control, and the maintenance of social order is mainly the responsibility of the Public Security Committee.

Neighbors can usually resolve issues within the courtyard by discussing them among themselves, but they have no say in matters outside the courtyard.

The crowd dispersed and went home.

Yi Zhonghai picked up the kitchen knife, pulled Yao Min back into the house, and slammed the door shut.

Only Jia Zhangshi remained sitting on the ground, staring blankly at her surroundings.

After searching for a while, Jia Zhangshi finally figured out the key.

Jia Dongxu was going to sabotage He Daqing's marriage.

This matter is inextricably linked to He Daqing.

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to say something, she discovered that everyone had already run away.

He Daqing went back to the east courtyard, locked the door, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

Having just incurred the wrath of the masses, Jia Zhangshi was isolated and helpless, unable to stir up any trouble. She could only crawl back into her house and wait until tomorrow to make a decision.

……

In the woodshed of a farmer's house in Qinjiacun, Jia Dongxu was enjoying the ultimate bliss.

It's said that a man pursuing a woman is like climbing a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man is like piercing a veil.

With just a little trickery, Widow Bai easily got Jia Dongxu under her thumb, trapping him in a world of tenderness from which he could not extricate himself.

"Bai Zhan, baby, you're mine now."

In his excitement, Jia Dongxu's attention was entirely focused on Bai Zhan, completely unaware of the impending crisis.

The door to the woodshed suddenly opened from the outside.

"What are you doing!"

The old farmer, carrying a kerosene lamp and a hoe, looked through the dim light at the two disheveled figures in the woodshed.

"what!"

Bai Zhan cried out in surprise and shrank back.

Jia Dongxu shuddered, disregarding everything else, and quickly hugged his clothes tightly, shielding Bai Zhan.

"We didn't do anything."

Jia Dongxu said somewhat guiltily.

"I kindly offered you a place to stay for the night, but I never expected you to be having an affair here."

"Come on, let's go see the village chief!"

The old farmer suppressed his anger and growled.

These two are so indecent; what do they think their home is?

This is not one of the eight major hutongs in Beijing.

"We didn't have an affair, we are a married couple."

You've misunderstood.

The white widow quickly offered an explanation.

It was all part of her scheme, but there was an element of gambling involved.

Fortune favors the bold, and for the sake of her child and future life, she had no choice but to gamble.

"Yes, yes, she is my wife. We just couldn't help ourselves for a moment. Please don't misunderstand."

Jia Dongxu was unfamiliar with the area and had just been beaten up in Qinjiacun during the day.

If this gets to the village chief, he'll definitely not get away with it.

Chapter 17 Dismissal of Liu Wu

"Would a couple go to someone else's house and do such a thing?!"

Do you think I, old man Qin, am stupid?

Old Qin gripped his hoe tightly and said coldly.

A decent couple should be at home right now; it's utterly absurd for them to be running off to the woodshed.

It all sounds like an excuse.

To be honest, we haven't registered our marriage yet.

We truly love each other, but our families have always disapproved, which is why we ran away together.

It was our fault for bothering you.

I apologize.

Bai Zhan calmly delivered the prepared statement.

People caught cheating are always panicked, but they can't stay calm like this.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Qin's serious expression softened considerably.

"Really?"

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, we'll go get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

Jia Xudong quickly expressed his opinion.

"Even if that's the case, you can't come here to do this kind of thing."

Old Qin sighed deeply, shook his head, and said with a bitter face.

Upon closer reflection, it's clear that there's no need for two outsiders to come to the village to engage in prostitution.

There are places to go in Beijing, but going to the woodshed is just asking for trouble.

"Alright, whatever you do, get out of here as soon as it's light tomorrow."

Old Qin snorted coldly, closed the door, and left angrily.

"Young people these days are really morally corrupt."

Jia Xudong breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Bai Zhan was quick-witted; otherwise, things would have been troublesome.

Looking back at Bai Zhanfeng's graceful figure, Jia Xudong grew to like her more and more.
