Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

When the second uncle said this, Cai Quanwu stared at him in surprise and felt extremely speechless.

This is really mind-blowing.

If put in the era of popular online literature in later generations, Erdaye would definitely be a top-notch anime.

Who the hell committed a crime and is escaping in such a high-profile manner?

You really think Jia Zhang is stupid.

Seeing Cai Quanwu staring at him like he was an idiot, the second uncle hurriedly explained:

"Old Cai, I have a basis for saying this. Everyone in the courtyard knows what kind of person Jia Zhang is. She is lazy and doesn't look like someone who would take the initiative to return to her hometown."

"If he hadn't committed any crime, he would have taken the initiative to return to the countryside."

"I'm afraid she's not going back to the countryside, but hiding somewhere along the way, and then she'll bring trouble to our hospital."

After some explanation, the second uncle still meant the same thing: I am doing this for the good of the courtyard. With Jia Zhang's personality, it is impossible for her to return to the countryside. It is very likely that she has committed a crime and is hiding away.

Cai Quanwu could partially understand the second uncle's thoughts.

When a person behaves in a way that is completely different from usual, it is inevitable that others will speculate what exactly caused his change.

The second uncle speculated that it was because Jia Zhang had committed a crime that led to her change.

However, the second uncle's thinking was too one-sided. He only thought of Jia Zhang and did not consider Jia Dongxu.

No matter how lazy and gluttonous Jia Zhang is, if only one of her and Jia Dongxu can survive, Jia Zhang will let Jia Dongxu survive without hesitation.

This is why anyone can say that Jia Zhang is lazy and greedy, except Jia Dongxu.

Jia Zhang's laziness and gluttony are based on the fact that Jia Dongxu is well fed and well-fed.

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Quanwu avoided the question of whether Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside, and instead analyzed the point that the second uncle suspected Jia Zhang had committed a crime:

"Old Liu, I think you're overthinking it. Jia Zhangshi definitely couldn't have committed a crime. If she really did commit a crime, she would have left secretly. She can ignore the Siheyuan and Jia Dongxu."

"It was Jia Dongxu who sent Jia Zhang away today. No matter how stupid Jia Zhang is, she can't possibly harm Jia Dongxu."

"Think about it, if you committed a crime, would you let Guangqi send you off with great fanfare?"

After listening to Cai Quanwu's analysis, the second uncle fell silent, thinking that Jia Zhang would indeed not harm Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu's position in Jia Zhang's heart is no lower than Liu Guangqi's position in his heart.

Cai Quanwu knew some inside information and analyzed it from a God's perspective, which confused the second uncle.

If this wasn't a crime, then what caused Jia Zhang to change so drastically?

Could it be that it was the fact that Jia Zhang did not return home at night that caused her to return to the countryside?

Not too possible.

The second uncle scratched his head the more he thought about it, until he got stuck in a dead end.

People are like this. The more they don't understand something, the more they want to figure it out.

"Old Cai, why do you think Jia Zhang suddenly wanted to go back to the countryside?" The second uncle couldn't figure it out, so he asked Cai Quanwu for advice.

why?

Cai Quanwu complained in his heart, it was all you and Old Yan who did this. You originally wanted to give Jia Zhang a warning.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so confident that he overturned the table and took the opportunity to leave the courtyard.

Complaining as he was, Cai Quanwu laughed it off: "How would I know? Why don't you ask Old Yan? Maybe he knows."

"Hey, I looked for Old Yan, but he wasn't home. I heard from his wife that he went out fishing early today. What's the point of him fishing all day? He didn't catch many fish. It's a waste of time."

When the second uncle heard Cai Quanwu mention the third uncle, he couldn't help but complain.

Cai Quanwu wanted to laugh when listening to the second uncle's complaints.

How could Uncle San be such a smart person, possibly let you know whether he caught any fish? Even if he did, he would say he didn’t.

The second uncle just doesn't realize it.

"Then you wait for Old Yan to come back and ask him. I'll go back first." Cai Quanwu didn't want to continue chatting with the second uncle about the Jia family's affairs. He made an excuse and walked towards the courtyard.

"Hey, Old Cai, let's chat for a while." Seeing Cai Quanwu leaving, the second uncle shouted hurriedly.

"No need to talk anymore. I have things to do when I get home."

Cai Quanwu ignored the second uncle and walked home without looking back.

Seeing that Cai Quanwu ignored him, the second uncle complained, "Why is this guy like this? He just left without saying anything."

After complaining, the second uncle walked towards the group of people sitting in the shade and gossiping.

……

"What? Jia Zhang went back to her hometown?"

In the evening, the third uncle came back from fishing. Just as he took his fishing gear home and put it away, he heard the third aunt say that Jia Zhang had returned to the countryside, with an incredible expression on his face.

"Yes, not long after you went out fishing, Jia Zhang took the bag and asked Jia Dongxu to send it back to the countryside."

Auntie was under the eaves, busy cleaning up the small fish brought back by uncle, while chatting with him.

"It's impossible for Jia Zhang to go back to the countryside." The third uncle thought for a moment and said in a firm tone.

In this courtyard, except for Cai Quanwu, whose personality is a little hard for the Third Uncle to understand, the Third Uncle knows everyone else's personality very well.

If Jia Zhang was willing to go back to the countryside, Jia Dongxu would have returned after getting married.

This happened suddenly, and it feels so abnormal.

"At first, when Jia Zhang said she wanted to go back to the countryside, I thought it was a bit strange, but she said it so seriously that no one thought too much about it."

After hearing Third Uncle's certainty that Jia Zhang had not returned to the countryside, Third Aunt expressed her thoughts when she first heard the news.

"That was something the Jia and Zhang family had discussed and they were putting on a show for people like you." Hearing what the third aunt said, the third uncle immediately concluded that the Jia family was putting on a show.

"If Jia Zhang doesn't go back to the countryside, where can she go?" Although the third aunt believed in her husband's judgment, she still raised the question in her heart.

"I have to think about this. Anyway, I don't believe that Jia Zhang will return to the countryside."

After the third uncle finished speaking, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and started thinking.

After pondering for a while, the third uncle slowly figured out the clues and had some guesses in his mind. Then he tentatively asked the third aunt: "Do you think it is possible that Jia Zhang has found a man?"

"That's impossible. If they were going to find it, they would have looked for it a long time ago. How could they have waited until now? Don't make blind guesses here."

After hearing the third uncle's guess, the third aunt subconsciously felt that it was unlikely. She thought that if Jia Zhang really wanted to find the person, why didn't she look for him after old Jia died and when she was younger, but had to wait until now.

At this age, what kind of person can I find?

"I think it's very possible. Listen and see if it makes sense."

The third uncle said, and analyzed it to the third aunt:

"Look, Jia Zhang seldom went out before, but she went out every few days recently. This is definitely not normal. Moreover, she brought a lot of things home when she came back. These must have been given by others. Jia Zhang is not generous enough to buy them herself."

"Also, Jia Zhang did not return home at night. Old Liu said that Jia Dongxu told him that she went to a relative's house, whose relatives often let people stay overnight."

"On the day of the festival, he even said in front of us that his relatives were well-off and lived in the city. With such good conditions, most families have bicycles, so it wouldn't take long to ride a bicycle to send him home."

"Besides, no matter how well-off the relatives are, they can't bring things back to Jia Zhang every now and then. They can't make ends meet."

"It can only make sense if Jia Zhang found a man and this man's family is well-off and she brought things back from the man's family."

"Also, suddenly saying that you want to go back to the countryside today doesn't fit Jia Zhang's character."

"We all know Jia Zhang's character. It's impossible for her to ask to go back to the countryside on her own initiative."

"In my opinion, it is most likely that she went to the man's house."

"As for why you didn't look for it before, food was not rationed before."

The third uncle made a thorough analysis, which made the third aunt feel that it made sense:

"I hadn't thought about it that much before you said it. Now that you say it, I feel it's really possible."

But after the three aunts finished speaking, there was another magical twist:

"But feelings are just feelings. We still have no proof whether Jia Zhang has returned to the countryside or found a man."
