Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Looking at He Yuzhu, who was rambling on and on but hadn't said anything useful, Wang Dong asked directly, "Since it's already decided to meet Qin Huairu tonight..."

"She'll definitely seize this opportunity to blackmail you and scheme against you..."

"Have you figured out how to break this deadlock tonight, and incidentally make that madman Qin Huairu lose both his wife and his army?"

He Yuzhu immediately replied, "Dongzi..."

"I've thought it all through..."

"Qin Huairu's methods of threatening me are nothing more than those few..."

"If I'm not mistaken, this madman will probably try to force me to sell the house to him at a low price, just like he forced Yi Zhonghai to marry him. Otherwise, he'll say I raped her in the house, threaten me to report it to the police, and also tell Liang Lati about it, so it will affect my relationship with Liang Lati."

"I plan to hide a few people in the house beforehand to act as witnesses for me..."

"With these people hiding in the house watching Qin Huairu put on a show, Qin Huairu's attempt to slander and threaten me will not be able to continue."

Wang Dong did not immediately dismiss He Yuzhu's idea, but instead frowned and analyzed: "Doing this will indeed make Qin Huai's efforts go to waste, and he won't be able to use this to threaten you into selling his house."

"But it's obviously impossible to use this method to make Qin Huairu cooperate with the lady and suffer a loss and learn a lesson."

"Because only by obtaining evidence that Qin Huairu is extorting you can you turn around and threaten Qin Huairu to compensate you, giving him a lesson he will never forget and never dare to scheme against you again."

He Yuzhu immediately looked puzzled and replied, "Dongzi..."

"Isn't it enough that there are witnesses proving that Qin Huai is extorting me?"

Wang Dong shook his head and replied, "Witnesses alone are not enough..."

"More importantly... the people hiding in your house are definitely connected to you, which makes the witnesses even less credible."

"If you can produce evidence that Qin Huairu is blackmailing you, no matter how Qin Huairu tries to deny it, she won't be able to get away with it. In the end, she will definitely lose both her wife and her money."

He Yuzhu frowned even deeper and immediately replied, "We can't possibly have Qin Huairu sign an agreement in black and white, can we?"

"Even if Qin Huairu is stupid, he knows that this kind of thing is illegal, so he definitely won't sign an agreement with us."

"Moreover, Qin Huairu has the initiative in this matter, so it is even less likely that we will force her to sign and give her leverage over us."

As He Yuzhu, who was speaking with increasing unease and whose voice was much softer than before, approached, Wang Dong did not immediately respond. Instead, he took out a small radio from the drawer and handed it to her.

"This is a radio imported from Hong Kong. It can play songs by inserting cassette tapes, or record sound by inserting blank cassette tapes, and it also uses batteries."

"I'll lend you this little radio for a bit, and hide it in the house beforehand."

"After Qin Huairu enters the room, turn it on and record all of your conversations inside the room."

"As long as the recorded conversation contains Qin Huairu threatening you with extortion, we can solidify the evidence that Qin Huairu is blackmailing you. At that time, we will not only teach Qin Huairu a lesson he will never forget, but also make him bleed a lot."

"Isn't he greedy and has a particular fondness for money?"

"Then let's make him take out all his savings and wipe this crazy woman's savings out of everything overnight."

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up, and he picked up the radio that Wang Dong had placed on the table, examining it over and over like a precious treasure.

After confirming there were no problems and learning how to use it, he didn't stand on ceremony, put it in his pocket, and thanked Wang Dong.

"Thank you, Dongzi..."

"Once this is all settled, I'll definitely treat you and Uncle to a nice meal at my new house..."

The inner courtyard of a traditional courtyard house.

In order to deal with He Yuzhu tonight and take over the backyard house, and also to prevent He Yuzhu from plotting against her, Qin Huairu took a day off today.

After leaving Dongjun Hotel, we returned to the courtyard house.

He stood guard in the yard, watching He Yuzhu's house to prevent He Yuzhu from hiding people there and ruining his plans.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Jia Zhangshi walked up to Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu..."

"Go back and have lunch. I'll keep watch for you for a while."

Qin Huairu repeatedly instructed, "Mom..."

"We only have one chance to threaten He Yuzhu and scheme against the house in the backyard. We can't afford any accidents."

"You must keep a close eye on Sha Zhu's house. You absolutely cannot let He Yuzhu hide anyone in the house."

"If someone can prove that He Yuzhu did not force me in the house, I won't be able to use this as an excuse to threaten him."

Jia Zhangshi knew very well what methods Qin Huairu would use to force He Yuzhu to submit tonight, and confidently answered Qin Huairu's worried gaze.

"Huairu, don't worry..."

"Mom's been through this before, she definitely won't give Sha Zhu the chance to hide someone in the house..."

"Hurry back and eat. We'll have the energy to deal with Sha Zhu tonight if we're full..."

“Sha Zhu has changed so much in the past few years. He’s not the same person he used to be. With Tang Dashan and Wang Dong by his side to help him come up with ideas, he definitely won’t let us succeed easily. We must get our energy back and prepare well.”

In order for Banggeng to get married after his release from prison, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had been at odds for decades, stood on the same side for the first time.

Yi Zhonghai took in all the subtle actions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Although he was filled with worry, fearing that the fool He Yuzhu would fall into the trap set by Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi again, lose his backyard house, and thus affect his retirement, he dared not show it.

In order to avoid arousing Qin Huairu's suspicion, all he could do at this moment was wait, while praying in his heart that He Yuzhu could successfully break the deadlock, and that Qin Huairu would suffer a double loss.

The more severe the predicament Qin Huairu faces, the greater his status and role in the Jia family will be, and the more he will be able to suppress Qin Huairu in many matters, making her serve him wholeheartedly.

Time flew by and it was already six or seven o'clock in the evening.

The courtyard, which had been quiet all day, gradually became lively again.

To avoid any accidents, Qin Huairu simply moved a stool onto the veranda between the middle and back courtyards and sat down, keeping a close eye on everyone who tried to approach Sha Zhu's house.

Especially the unfamiliar faces entering the courtyard.

Fortunately, no one approached Sha Zhu's house in the backyard all day, and the locked door was never opened until He Yuzhu entered the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Huairu standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, watching his house, He Yuzhu couldn't help but gasp.

Qin Huairu is too wary of this woman.

Fortunately, Wang Dong gave him a radio that could record audio today and reminded him not to have anyone hide in the house as witnesses, otherwise she might really be watching him. (End of Chapter)
