The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chapter 354 Liu Haizhong: Where are my family members?

Chang Wei listened with interest and asked, "What about the specific situation of your security department? The usual training, the number of people, etc."

Wang Xiangping touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "Leader, there are more than 50 people in our security department, most of whom are ordinary people. There are not many retired soldiers, so the training is usually easy. If it weren't for Section Chief Dong's request, there would not be many times a month."

He wanted to hide it but didn't dare to, so he could only tell the truth.

Chang Wei's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect that the Jiangnan Security Department's defense was so poor and lax. It stands to reason that during the period of military retirement, when there were so many retired soldiers that there was no place to put them, the Jiangnan Locomotive Factory was a department-level unit, and the Security Department had only more than 50 people, most of whom were ordinary people...

Soon they arrived at the dormitory. Wu Xueqian allocated five dormitories in total. The two inspection teams lived in four rooms, and Chang Wei lived in a single room. Jin Canlan lived next door, in a room with Bai Manning, who had always lived alone.

After the dormitory was assigned, Chang Wei thought for a moment and said to Wang Xiangping who was about to leave, "Let Dong Ke from the Security Department finish his work later and come to see him."

Then Chang Wei directly announced that everyone should take a rest. Last night, both teams followed Luo Yong out and worked all night without getting any sleep.

He changed into casual clothes, and Jin Canlan borrowed a bicycle from the factory. The two of them went for a ride together to experience the local customs and culture. At this time, the development of Jinling and Sijiucheng was basically the same.

In the factory director's office, Engineer Yao and Chang Hanqing looked at the technical data with surprise and excitement in their eyes, imagining the future innovation and progress of locomotive technology that will rise in Jiangnan Locomotive Factory.

Let’s talk about two things, the courtyard side.

Early in the morning, Liu Haizhong returned home with his bedding in his arms, looking listless. Over the past few days, he had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, but the wounds on his face had healed.

I could have gone home yesterday, but the guard forgot about it during his shift change and no one from home came to pick me up, so I ended up staying there for another day.

Of course, apart from being locked up and staring at the ceiling for one more day, there was no difference. He had not been beaten since Chang Wei had said hello.

No one came to pick him up from home, and Liu Haizhong didn't think much about it. After all, he was released so early in the morning and his family might not know about it. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he met Yan Bugui who had just returned from the toilet, and hurriedly said.

"Old Yan, give me a cigarette."

During the few days he stayed in the detention room, he only had two steamed buns a day. He couldn't even drink enough water, let alone cigarettes. He was suffocated to death.

"Oh! It's Old Liu, you're back!" Yan Bugui looked at the disheveled man holding bedding in front of him, and after a careful look he finally recognized it was Liu Haizhong. But no matter what, he was an old neighbor for many years, so he couldn't just ignore him.

As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and handed it to me, and even lit it for me. It was rare to see someone who wasn't stingy.

"Well! I'm so unlucky these days..." Liu Haizhong took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly, and then nodded in response. It seemed that he saw an old neighbor and an acquaintance and found someone to talk to. He poured out all the bitterness he had experienced in the detention room these days.

"Old Liu, go home and have a good rest! I'll go home first." Yan Bugui was hesitant to speak. No one liked the Liu family now, and he didn't want to get close to them. He sighed and went home first.

"That stingy old man Yan, it's just a cigarette, why is he running so fast!" Liu Haizhong muttered to himself. He was still unsatisfied with his cigarette and finished it while talking. He was still thinking about having another one, and thought that Yan Bugui was afraid that he would ask for another cigarette, so he ran away in a hurry.

Later he entered the yard and saw people but no one greeted him. Liu Haizhong felt unhappy. After all, he was the eldest uncle, so why did everyone act as if they didn't see him?

When he arrived at the middle courtyard, He Yuzhu happened to be washing up by the sink, but he just glanced at him and didn't say hello. He had been a grandson in the detention room for a few days. Now that he was back in the courtyard and back to his home ground, could he still be a grandson? It was impossible, absolutely impossible. He had to find some sense of return.

"Silly Zhu, what's with that expression on your face? You didn't even say hello to the second uncle when you saw him."

He Yuzhu chuckled and said with disdain in his eyes: "Oh! You haven't woken up yet, and you're still a fool. You can dream about anything." After that, he picked up the washbasin and went home without looking back.

Liu Haizhong couldn't take it anymore, as if all the grievances he had suffered in the past few days had suddenly exploded, and he yelled, "This is outrageous, Shazhu, do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young, do you know how to be polite..."

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Tiantian rushed out of the room with a rolling pin, pointed at Liu Haizhong and shouted, "Old man, if you say my man is stupid again, I will beat you up."

"You...you..." Liu Haizhong's words were stuck in his throat before he could even finish them. His face turned red but he didn't dare to say anything more. He remembered what happened on He Yuzhu's wedding day, and he couldn't afford to offend Zhao Tiantian.

After these two shouts, people from each household in the Central Courtyard appeared and stood at the door to watch the fun.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai opened the door and walked out. He greeted Zhao Tiantian first, comforted her and asked her to go home first, and then walked straight to Liu Haizhong and said, "Old Liu, you are back. This is your house key. It was left by Guangqi. He also brought you a message saying that his aunt went back to her parents' home for a few days." Then he handed the key to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was stunned. What was going on? Why did his wife go back to her parents' home? His son even left his keys behind. Has he not been home recently?

Yi Zhonghai put the key in Liu Haizhong's hand and sighed. "Old Liu, take the things home first. You will have to go to work soon. You won't be able to make dinner in time. Come to my place for a bite. I will explain it to you slowly."

He didn't want to bother with Liu Haizhong, but he was afraid that Liu Haizhong would make a fuss after finding out everything from other places, which would have a bad impact. After all, he was the boss of the hospital and had the responsibility.

Liu Haizhong suppressed his anger, not understanding what was going on. He sent the bedding back home in a daze. He took a look at the cold and quiet home and felt empty, but he also wanted to go out and come to the Yi family.

Yi Zhonghai's family of three were having dinner. When they saw Liu Haizhong coming, they asked him to sit down, served him a bowl of porridge and handed him a steamed bun made of two grains of flour.

After the meal, Yi Zhonghai handed Liu Haizhong a cigarette and then slowly said, "Old Liu, after you were locked up, something happened in your family. Guangqi just got married yesterday and transferred to the textile factory with his wife."

Liu Haizhong was delighted that the couple worked together and his eldest son was doing well. Suddenly he thought of the money and asked, "Old Yi, where did Guangqi get the money for the wedding?"

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved, and it seemed that he was right to say that he was happy first and worried later. "I don't know the details. I only found out after Shi Guangqi came to me after get off work yesterday. He asked me to wait for you to come out and tell you."

After that, he organized his words and continued, "Her aunt the day after you went in..."

Yi Zhonghai did not hide anything and told everything about Second Aunt's visit to Xu's house and everything that followed.
