Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Although Liu Guangqi had no feelings for his younger brother Liu Guangtian, he felt pity for his experience. But today Liu Guangqi only hated Liu Guangtian. Liu Guangqi didn't say it, but in his heart he wanted to cut Liu Guangtian into pieces. In this era, the first thing to consider was the class background, and then whether anyone in the family had made mistakes. These people were collectively called the "five black categories" after the storm. As for the children of these people, life would not be easy.

Seeing her eldest son's uncertain expression, Xu Zhaodi couldn't help but ask, "Guangqi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?!"

"I'm fine." Liu Guangqi replied, and asked, "Mom, how long will Dad be locked up?!"

Xu Zhaodi replied: "It's not clear yet. If Liu Guangtian forgives him, maybe he can be imprisoned for less time. Your father said that we should find a way to find the leader of his factory and ask the leader to protect him."

Liu Guangqi said: "My father is not an important figure in the factory. He has no relationship with the leaders. Who would come forward to protect him? Unless our family gives gifts to them. Giving gifts also requires connections."

Xu Zhaodi asked: "Is Xu Damao back?!"

Liu Guangfu said: "I'm back!"

Liu Guangqi said: "Mom, are you going to ask Xu Damao for help?!"

Xu Zhaodi said: "Xu Damao is the projectionist in the factory. He usually interacts with many leaders. Maybe he can find a way to save your father."

Liu Guangqi thought for a moment and said, "How about we go ask Xu Damao after dinner."

Xu Zhaodi sighed and said, "This is the only way now. I'll go cook for you."

Liu Haizhong was arrested, so Xu Zhaodi had no mood to cook. She just put the cold steamed bread from lunch into the pot to steam it, and then made a simple soup. Then she called her two sons to eat. After the absent-minded Xu Zhaodi finished her meal, she walked to the door of Xu Damao's house accompanied by Liu Guangqi. Xu Zhaodi shouted: "Da Mao! Damao! Are you there?!"

Xu Damao and Ma Fengxia looked at each other when they heard the shout. Ma Fengxia muttered, "Why is Second Auntie here?!"

Xu Damao smiled and replied, "What else could it be?! Of course it's for his man."

Ma Fengxia said: "This old woman is really good at calculating."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's not that she has a good plan. It's probably the idea of ​​their eldest brother Liu Guangqi. You two can eat slowly. I'll go meet them first." After saying that, Xu Damao put down his chopsticks, stood up, walked to the door, opened it, and asked, "Second Aunt, what's the matter?!"

Xu Zhaodi said, "Da Mao, Second Aunt wants to ask you for help with something."

Xu Damao asked: "What's the matter?!"

Xu Zhaodi burst into tears immediately. Liu Guangqi, who was standing nearby, said, "Brother Damao, this is my Guangtian. My father beat him today, and I don't know what medicine he took wrong, but he actually ran to the police station to sue my father. My father was arrested by the police. You have a good relationship with the factory leaders. I ask you to help find some connections and ask the factory leaders to bail my father out."

Xu Damao pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Guangqi, it's not that I won't help you. It's just that there's really no way to help you with this matter."

Xu Zhaodi continued, "Da Mao, please help your uncle for the sake of our long-term neighborliness!"

Xu Damao said, "I'm not very close to the leaders in the factory. I think you should ask He Yuzhu for help! Not only is he close to the leaders, he also knows the leaders in the department. Besides, his wife is the deputy director of the public security station in our area. He has more connections than me."

Xu Zhaodi said, "Da Mao, I'll be honest with you. I looked for He Yuzhu. He came back straight away."

"Damn it! Do you think I'm a fool?! He Yuzhu didn't agree, and you knew I would agree?! We are at most neighbors, and he's still the second uncle?! You're a fool!" Xu Damao muttered to himself, and said, "Second Aunt, I really can't do anything about this. Instead of listening to my advice, you might as well go to the factory to find the leader tomorrow morning. Maybe it will be more useful than me helping you find connections."

Liu Guangqi asked: "Brother Damao, which leader do you think is more suitable to look for in the factory?!"

Xu Damao said, "It's hard to say. Leaders are willing to take on good things, but I guess no leader would be willing to take on something like Second Uncle's. You should be prepared to run into a wall. Second Aunt, I'm still eating! I won't keep you here." After saying that, Xu Damao turned around and went back into the house.

After Xu Damao closed the door, Liu Guangqi said, "Mom! Let's go back! Go to my father's factory tomorrow to look for the leader and try your luck. If it doesn't work, forget it! My father deserves this."

"This is the only way!" After saying that, Xu Zhaodi sighed and followed her son back.

Xu Damao walked to the table and sat down. Ma Fengxia couldn't wait to ask, "What do they want from you?!"

"What else can it be? You asked me to find a connection to get Liu Haizhong out." Xu Damao picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his daughter's bowl, saying, "You asked me to find a connection to help you without any reason. Do you think I'm a fool?!"

Ma Fengxia said: "It's obvious that Liu Haizhong is not a good person. He deserved what happened today."

Xu Lianxi said, "Dad! Second Uncle is so mean! He always beats people for no reason. He also keeps scaring me."

Xu Damao's face changed, and he said, "This old man dared to scare my daughter, Xu Damao. He must be tired of living. My daughter, just watch! Dad will vent your anger for you. This time I will ruin their plan. Let him stay in there!"

Ma Fengxia asked: "Da Mao, how long do you think the second uncle will be imprisoned this time?!"

Xu Damao said: "It's hard to say. We'll know in a few days."

The next morning, Xu Zhaodi got up early, didn't eat, and rushed to the steel mill alone. When she arrived at the factory gate, she was stopped by the guard. The guard asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?!"

Xu Zhaodi said, "I am the wife of Liu Haizhong, a sixth-level forger in your factory. I have something to ask your factory director."

"Liu Haizhong?!" The police informed the factory about Liu Haizhong's case last night. Everyone in the security department knew that Liu Haizhong had beaten his son and was reported to the police station by his son.

The guard said, "The factory leaders don't have time to see you, so you should go back!"

Xu Zhaodi said: "Can you please be so kind as to ask for me?"

The guard pondered for a few seconds and said, "Wait!" Then the guard ignored Xu Zhaodi.

After a while, Xu Damao rode his bicycle into the factory. Not long after, He Yuzhu followed him into the factory. Xu Zhaodi wanted to stop the two men and ask them to take her in. However, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu pretended not to see Xu Zhaodi and went straight into the factory.

After half past eight, Zhao Lei, the head of the security department, appeared at the factory gate and asked, "Where is Liu Haizhong's wife?!"

The guard pointed at the woman at the door and said, "She is Liu Haizhong's wife."

When Xu Zhaodi heard someone mention Liu Haizhong, she immediately ran to the factory gate. Zhao Lei asked, "Are you Liu Haizhong's wife?!"

Xu Zhaodi nodded and said, "It's me!"

Zhao Lei said, "I'm the head of the factory security department. I already know what happened to Liu Haizhong. You can go back! I'll let you know when the decision on his treatment is made."
