Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

There are often patrols in the capital late at night, but they are not there to prevent thieves, but to catch spies.

Yang Lei used his Qinggong skills to fly onto the roof.

By taking a shortcut, he reached the courtyard house in Nanluoguxiang in less than ten minutes, which would have taken him half an hour.

As soon as he arrived at Nanluoguxiang, he suddenly saw a dark shadow whizzing into the courtyard.

He blinked his eyes and took a closer look. Hey, the figure looked familiar.

"It can't be him!?"

Yang Lei stared at the figure intently, feeling like he had seen it somewhere before.

So he didn't go through the main gate, but instead used his lightness skills to jump onto the four-meter-high courtyard wall with a "whoosh".

Yang Lei sat on a wall as high as a knife fish's back, watching the figure run to the public toilet in the front yard like a gust of wind.

There is a dim street lamp next to the public toilet, which is used to illuminate the way to the toilet at night.

Yang Lei recognized the man with the help of the faint light.

Yi Zhonghai!

The person sneaking into the courtyard in the middle of the night turned out to be Yi Zhonghai, the fugitive from crime! Sha Zhu had been imprisoned for twenty years. He was originally a young man of twenty-four or twenty-five, but when he was released, he was almost an old man, fifty years old.

It can be said that Sha Zhu has come to an end in his life.

"Why did Yi Zhonghai come back to the courtyard in the middle of the night?" Yang Lei didn't rush to take action. He continued to squat on the wall, wanting to see what this guy was up to.

Just as Yang Lei was wondering about Yi Zhonghai's intention of returning to the court late at night, another person rushed out from the Intermediate Court.

Yang Lei recognized her at a glance. It was Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was wearing a blue cotton jacket and kept looking back.

"Huai Ru, here!" Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huai Ru coming and hurriedly lowered his voice to greet her.

"Ah."

Qin Huairu responded and ran to the public toilet following the sound.

"It turns out that Yi Zhonghai is trying to arrange a meeting with Qin Huairu.

When did they make the appointment? It seems Qin Huairu still has feelings for him.

Yang Lei was worried.

Of course, he also understood that Qin Huairu could not have any improper relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu went to see Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night to accept some of his funding.

"Huai Ru, I thought you weren't coming.

It’s good that you’re here…”

It can be heard that Yi Zhonghai felt so happy when he saw Qin Huairu.

"Master, don't think too much.

I came here to tell you, don’t ask me out at night anymore, I’m afraid of causing gossip.

Uncle, it’s too late. I have to go back, otherwise my mother-in-law will scold me again if she finds out I’m not here.”

Qin Huairu interrupted Yi Zhonghai directly and said this straight to the point.

Qin Huairu's meaning was clear: she didn't want to have anything to do with Yi Zhonghai anymore.

Even if Yi Zhonghai offered her financial support, she would not accept it.

"Huai Ru, is someone gossiping about me behind my back? I sold the brass from the factory that day because I wanted to use the money to help support your family.

Dongxu has been eating a lot recently, and you have to take care of two children and your mother-in-law.

Life is not easy.”

……

Yi Zhonghai immediately packaged himself as a selfless and kind person.

If you don't know him, you would think he is a good person.

Even if he stole brass from the factory, it wasn't for himself.

If it were in the past, Qin Huairu would have been moved to tears.

But now, she heard a lot of secrets about Yi Zhonghai from Yang Lei.

……

As she listened to Yi Zhonghai speak, she felt nauseous and almost wanted to vomit.

Qin Huairu really wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai: Since you want to help the Jia family, why don’t you use your own salary?

You know, Yi Zhonghai is a level seven fitter and earns eighty-four dollars a month!

Besides, he was a bachelor, childless, and lived with his wife. How much could he spend in a month? Twenty yuan at most.

But he insisted on helping Qin Huairu and even wanted to steal brass from the factory in exchange for money?

Qin Huairu would never believe such words even if she was beaten to death.

"Master, please don't talk nonsense. We, the Jia family, didn't force you to steal brass and sell it for money.

Uncle, please don't come to me again. I'm afraid others will misunderstand our relationship!"

Qin Huairu said something harsh and turned to leave.

Yi Zhonghai was so choked by Qin Huairu's words that he was speechless for a long time.

Although Yi Zhonghai is now a seventh-level fitter and can earn a high salary of 84 yuan a month, there is no way he can pay money from his own pocket to the Jia family or Qin Huairu.

At most he would send some cornmeal or something.

In his mind, it was good enough for Qin Huairu to have enough to eat, and she could forget about giving her white flour, let alone giving it to the Jia family.

He still has to save money for his retirement.

However, the Jia family's situation is indeed special. Jia Dongxu's appetite suddenly increased tenfold.

Jia Zhang came to Yi Zhonghai every day.

Yi Zhonghai had no other choice but to set his sights on the brass in the workshop.

He knew that there were several young workers in Workshop 4 who often stole things from the factory in exchange for alcohol.

So he planned to secretly take the brass in the workshop and sell it, and then frame those young people.

But he had no idea that Yang Lei had already received the news that the Security Department was going to arrest someone in the woods opposite the factory at night.

Yang Lei told the young people in Workshop 4 in advance, but the security department did not catch them that night, but caught Yi Zhonghai red-handed.

"Huai Ru, you can't say that. I, Yi Zhonghai, won't even take a needle from the factory. This time I'm selling brass just to help your family."

"Uncle, did your saw blade and hammer fall from the sky?"

Qin Huairu replied bluntly.

"Huai Ru..."

As Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, the door of Yan Bugui's house creaked open.

Under the light, Yan Bugui walked out holding a torch.

Yan Bugui is a stingy and cunning guy who is reluctant to use even a flashlight.

"Who's there?"

He suddenly shouted loudly.

"Why is Old Yan coming out to join in the fun at this time? Doesn't he have night blindness? How could he possibly see us?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly reminded Qin Huairu, fearing that Yan Bugui would find out.

So Yi Zhonghai hurriedly hid next to a public toilet.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, you two go to the backyard and call your uncle over. There's probably a thief in our yard again!"

Yan Bugui said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened.

Yan Bugui's words were obviously directed at someone!

"Huai Ru, did you tell Yan Bugui?"

Yi Zhonghai began to suspect that it was Qin Huairu who leaked to Yan Bugui his plan to meet in the front yard toilet at night.

"Uncle, what are you thinking? Do you want to be ashamed or not? I still have my dignity..."

Qin Huairu glared at Yi Zhonghai and deliberately kept a distance from him, but the public toilet was so small that Yan Bugui blocked the road with a torch.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai had to leave quickly, but they had to pass by Yan Bugui. Once they passed by, they would definitely be discovered by him.

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. She didn't want the people in the courtyard to know that she was hanging out with Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night.

In particular, she didn't want Yang Lei to know about this.

Qin Huairu now cares particularly about how Yang Lei sees her.

During the day, Chen Xueru came to see Yang Lei, which made Qin Huairu jealous.

Qin Huairu was very afraid that Yang Lei would misunderstand her.

Yang Lei sat on the courtyard wall, looking at Qin Huairu's anxious expression, and couldn't help laughing.

Of course he knew that there was nothing between Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yan, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

At this time, Liu Haizhong walked from the front yard to the back yard with a frown.

"Old Liu, I asked you to come here just to watch the show."

"Watching a show? What show are you watching?"

Liu Haizhong asked Yan Bugui with eyes wide open.

Yan Bugui chuckled.

"Old Liu, look over there."

Liu Haizhong looked in the direction Yan Bugui pointed and frowned even more tightly.

"Old Yan, are you sick? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you want me to look after the toilet? Look for it yourself. I won't accompany you. I'm going back to sleep."

Liu Haizhong turned around and tried to leave as he spoke, but was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Don't worry, Lao Liu, this is a good show, don't miss it."

"Old Yan, if there's nothing interesting to see, I'll never let you go."

Liu Haizhong shone the flashlight towards the public restroom.

Yi Zhonghai hid behind the wall of toilet No. 28, cursing Yan Bugui in his heart.

"Uncle, you really made me suffer!"

Qin Huairu sighed and thought that if Yan Bugui or Liu Haizhong found out that she was with Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the night, she would never be able to clear herself even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

"Huai Ru, you're the only one who knows that you and I are meeting tonight, but it seems like Third Master already knew I was coming."

Yi Zhonghai instead pushed the blame onto Qin Huairu, which made Qin Huairu very unhappy.

"Uncle Yi, why would I tell Uncle San about this? What's there to brag about meeting you at night? Don't tell me. If my mother-in-law knew about this, she would definitely not let me go."

Qin Huairu said this worriedly. Although she was talking about her mother-in-law, she was actually more afraid that Yang Lei would find out about this.

Qin Huairu is now becoming more and more dependent on Yang Lei. His strength makes her heart beat faster and her whole body tremble.

"Old Yan, I seem to hear someone talking!"

Liu Haizhong, who was a little angry, listened carefully and vaguely heard someone talking in a low voice.

"Old Liu, do you believe it now? How about we call everyone in the courtyard to watch the show?"

"Forget it, don't wake them up.

Let's resolve this between our two families and let everyone see who is the boss of the Nanluoguxiang Siheyuan."
