Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Qin Jingru stayed in the room for a while, then came out and saw Qin Kangnian and Sun Quezi chatting enthusiastically. Qin Jingru couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, where do you and my sister live?!"

Sun Quezi said, "Just live in the inner room. Don't be fooled by the small outside. It's actually quite big inside. I divided the house into three rooms. I use the curtained door in the front to repair cars. The middle is a warehouse, and the back is where people live. There's also a patio in the back. When your sister and I have a child in a few years, I'll spend some money to build the patio in the back. I'll give the front room to the child, and your sister and I will live in the patio."

Qin Jingru asked: "Brother-in-law, how are we going to sleep today?!"

Sun Quezi smiled and replied, "Isn't that easy?! You and your sister sleep on the bed. Xiaonian and I will sleep on the floor."

Qin Jingru thought this sister-in-law was pretty good. After all, she was able to warmly entertain them when they came. Compared with the previous brother-in-law, it was simply a world of difference.

After about ten minutes, Qin Huairu came back and asked with a smile: "What were you talking about? I heard your laughter from far away."

Sun Quezi said, "They are telling me about some things in your village." Then he asked, "Have you bought the vegetables?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "I bought it. I cut three taels of pig head meat and two taels of pig ears. By the way, I also gave you half a pound of loose white meat."

When Cripple Sun heard about the wine, his eyes lit up and he said, "It's better that you guys came! You don't know. Ever since I married your sister, the wine has been controlled. I used to like to drink a few sips after work every day, three taels and half a catty each, until I couldn't drink any more. Now your sister only allows me to drink two taels a day. Today she was so generous and gave me half a catty of wine."

Qin Huairu said, "Before, you were alone and no one cared how much you drank. Now you have a family. You should at least think about me, right?!"

"Okay! Okay! Okay! You're all right!" Sun Quezi agreed with a smile and urged, "Hurry up and cook! Don't let your brothers and sisters wait anxiously!"

Qin Jingru said, "Sister, let me help you!" Then Qin Jingru followed Qin Huairu into the house.

While cooking, Qin Jingru asked, "Sister, are you happy now?!"

Qin Huairu was slightly stunned, thinking of the days she spent in the Jia family. She stretched out her hand to stroke her hair and said, "At least I am happier than before. Your current brother-in-law treats me well. In the previous family, I could only eat coarse food, which was worse than living in the countryside. Now I eat whatever he eats. Besides, your current brother-in-law has cooking skills, so he won't let me starve."

Qin Jingru muttered, "I really don't understand you guys." Then she asked, "Sister, if we didn't come, were you going to keep this a secret from our family?!"

Qin Huairu smiled, changed the subject, and asked, "How long have you been in the city?!"

Qin Jingru replied: "We are going back tomorrow. There is a shortage of food in the village. We came here to ask if you can get some food?"

Qin Huairu said, "Food is very precious now. People with urban household registration have a quota. People like me who have rural household registration are lucky enough not to starve to death. If we want food, we can only go to the pigeon market to exchange it."

"Ah?! Is life in the city so difficult now?!" Qin Jingru muttered, and asked, "Then if we come here today, isn't that taking advantage of my brother-in-law?!"

Qin Huairu said, "You are my mother's family. It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. Besides, your brother-in-law is not a stingy person. He won't say anything."

Time passed quickly as they chatted and worked. After Qin Huairu finished cooking, she walked out and called out, "Boss, it's time to eat!"

"Okay! I'll be there right away!" Sun Quezi quickly installed the bicycle wheel, straightened the body, pumped up the tire, and said, "Comrade, it's two dollars in total."

Sun Guizi took the money, washed his hands, and took Qin Kangnian into the house.

When Qin Huairu and Sun Quezi entertained Qin Jingru and Qin Kangnian, a burly middle-aged man walked into the tavern near Jiaodaokou, glanced inside, walked to a table near the corner, and sat down. The middle-aged man took an upside-down wine glass on the table, took the wine pot on the table, poured a glass of wine, and asked, "Xie Laoer, I heard that the place has been found?!"

Xie Laoer picked up a piece of braised pork liver, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and replied: "Found it! But that place has become a slum now. Many families live in it. It's probably unlikely to be the same as the previous two places."

The middle-aged man replied, "What we do is not your concern. My eldest brother has already said that if you go to the wrong place again, he will definitely make your whole family go to the North Sea to take a bath."

Xie Lao Er said, "I won't make a mistake this time. If I make a mistake again, I won't have to do anything. I will give you an explanation myself."

The middle-aged man joked, "Xie Lao Er, you are very confident this time. Did you really find it?!"

Xie Laoer said: "Sijiu City was the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. Many houses in Sijiu City were built on the basis of houses in the Yuan Dynasty. With the experience of the previous two times, I carefully studied the information on the treasure map this time and spent more than half a month in the library. Don't say it, I really found the clue. According to the clue, I found the location marked on the treasure map. There is now a three-in-one courtyard. There are more than ten families living in it. But the location of the entrance to the dark room is unclear. I need to go to the place and look for it slowly."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's just a dozen families. It's nothing! For the sake of the treasure, let's be kind and let them reincarnate as soon as possible!"

Xie Laoer smiled and reminded, "The door of that yard will be locked at 10 o'clock in the evening. It will not be opened until around 5:30 the next morning." After that, Xie Laoer put the address paper on the table.

The middle-aged man took the paper and put it in his coat pocket, then said with a smile: "Got it! Thank you for the wine!"

"You're welcome! If you find the thing, just don't forget my share." Xie Lao Er replied and continued to drink his wine and eat his side dishes leisurely.

After leaving the tavern, the middle-aged man walked around outside for two rounds. After making sure that no one was following him, he took a detour to an alley behind the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital on Dong'anmen North Street. When he reached a black door, he reached out and knocked on it.

After a while, the door opened. A man with shifty eyes poked his head out and looked outside, then made way. The middle-aged man entered the door. The shifty-looking man immediately closed the door. The middle-aged man asked, "Sixth son, is the boss here?!"

Liuzi replied: "The boss just came back. He's waiting for you in the house!"

The middle-aged man nodded, walked into the main room, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Xie Laoer found the place. This is the address. He said that it is now a large courtyard. There are more than a dozen families living in it. The door is locked at 10 o'clock every night and opened at about 5:30 the next morning. And he doesn't know where the entrance to the secret room is." After that, the middle-aged man took out the address and handed it to the scarred man in front of him.

Scarface took the address and looked at it, his brows immediately frowned. What a coincidence. He just passed by there in the morning. The middle-aged man saw that Scarface looked a little strange and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?!"

Scarface came back to his senses and said, "Nothing!" Then he asked, "Did he say anything else?!"

The middle-aged man replied, "He said that if you find the treasure, don't forget his share."

Scarface showed a strange smile on his face and said, "This kid is still as greedy as before."

The middle-aged man asked, "Boss, we've found the place now. When do we start?!"
