I make a living solving crimes.

The moonlight shines through the sparse branches, casting mottled silver light.

In the corner of the courtyard, a little black cat that was not afraid of the cold quietly poked its head out and meowed softly.

Chang Xiaoman smiled and clapped her hands, revealing her tiny white teeth. Her laughter was clear and sweet, as pure as a mountain stream.

"Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao, come and see, my mother is in trouble."

Her voice is soft and sticky.

It feels a bit like gloating.

Chang Long quickly reminded her, "Why are you making such a loud noise? If your mother hears you, she will spank you again."

The little girl snorted, put her hands on her waist, raised her head 45 degrees to look at the sky, and said in a chuckle: "My uncle is back, I'm not afraid of my mother anymore."

Chang Long sighed, not wanting to bother with her suicidal look. He rolled his eyes and called Chang Tian and Chang Nan over, "Go and bring the buns over so I can try them first. If they don't taste good, I'll let Big Brother pay less money."

Chang Ni smiled and scratched her nose, "You just know how to be greedy."

Chang Long stuck to Chang Ni and sighed, "Second sister, I really want to help my eldest brother save some money. My eldest brother has to support so many people, and it's hard to make money."

As soon as he said this, Yang Min came over and slapped Chang Long on the cotton hat, half of his head was buried in it, "Your eldest brother makes nearly 200 yuan a month, and your second uncle and second aunt also send money back, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Chang Long grabbed the ears of his hat with both hands and pulled it out of his head. He walked away two steps and grumbled unconvincedly: "Big brother, no one cares about your nonsense, so I will be beaten."

Before Yang Min lost her temper, Chang Xiaoman ran over angrily, "Uncle doesn't talk nonsense, auntie is talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense."

"Yes, yes."

"I never talk nonsense."

"Auntie, shame on you. Auntie, you are not ashamed to lie."

The two little guys jumped up and down and started arguing under the veranda. Chang Long was a little older after all, so he was quick-witted and spoke logically, "Did your uncle say that Du Ye was wild?"

Chang Xiaoman felt that what was said was not right, and the original words did not seem to be like this. She grabbed the little bun behind her head and couldn't think of how to defend herself.

Chang Long shook his head proudly, "You still say your uncle is not talking nonsense. Du Ye is wild, is Chang Wei born?"

Chang Xiaoman couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking about it. She jumped up and put her head on Chang Long's chest, mumbling, "No, no."

Chang Long won a game, and laughed, "Hohohoho", teasing Chang Xiaoman, "Why not?"

Chang Xiaoman said angrily: "My uncle is not a hygienist, he is the director, he is the virgin."

Yang Min stood expressionlessly by the side, watching the two little guys, not knowing which one to start beating.

Chang Ni covered her mouth in surprise and walked back into the house quietly.

Stay away, or you'll be covered in blood.

Chang Xiaoman's voice was quite loud, and the elders in the yard were all left in tears and laughter by her childish words. Even Chang Wei heard it and turned around to look.

The little girl felt that she had helped her uncle regain face, and she smiled sweetly at him proudly.

Chang Wei took a breath and forced a face in return.

This is the best master in the world. I can’t beat him, and I can’t scold him. Just forget it.

Chang Da got into trouble outside, so naturally it was the fourth-generation head of the Chang family who came forward to resolve the situation.

Chang Wei frowned and glanced at Du Ye, saying unhappily, "Didn't you say not to practice driving in crowded places? What if someone gets hurt?"

"Team leader, this is my fault. I didn't grasp the direction well. I'll compensate you." Du Ye nodded and bowed, smiling, and walked over with buns in his hand.

Chang Da quickly shook her hands, "No, no, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pulled the steering wheel so casually. I'll pay for it."

When Chang Wei saw that they actually started to protect each other, his face turned into a donkey face.

He didn't really want to stop his sister from being with Du Ye, he just felt uncomfortable for some unknown reason.

As for whether Du Ye is worthy of Chang Da?

Putting aside their identities as relatives, they are actually a good match.

This was the 1950s. Although there was a saying that women hold up half the sky, traditional concepts were still stubborn and women's status was very low.

It is really difficult for a widow to remarry, especially when she has a child.

Since they cannot wait for the Saudi prince of their dreams, most of them can only find a widower and hope that he is not lame, an alcoholic, or a violent person.

Before Chang Wei came through, Chang Da had already prepared to be a widow for the rest of her life. In order to have a foothold, she endured humiliation in the back house in front of the Bai family.

As for the fact that she is now the sister of a deputy director...

Women who have this idea should be careful.

You can't just marry a man who wants to marry you for the sake of your father-in-law or brother-in-law.

He might spend his whole life carefully serving Chang Da and treating Chang Xiaoman as his own daughter.

But he would definitely feel insulted, even though it was his own choice.

This emotion cannot be expressed or vented, it can only slowly accumulate and settle. It will not disappear, but will simply turn from resentment to hatred, waiting for an opportunity to explode.

For example, the wind blows.

There were countless such incidents during those years.

On the contrary, Du Ye does not consider himself noble because of his past stains.

Just as his thoughts were racing, Du Ye had already walked up to Chang Wei and said in a very small voice, "Team Leader, there's something wrong with this person."

Chang Wei just came back to his senses when he heard Du Ye continue to say, "We practiced driving outside the city. On the way back to the city, I wanted to stop by to see the Bai Ze team member in charge of surveillance. This person has been setting up a stall outside Deputy District Chief Yuan's house."

"What's wrong?"

"He doesn't look like a businessman at all. He doesn't care about customers and his eyes are always fixed on the gate of Yuan's courtyard."

"Did you hit him on purpose?"

"Well, I was driving the car. Xiaoda... Changda pretended to quarrel with me and grabbed the steering wheel. I led him here to let you take a look. If there is no problem, we will pay the money. If there is a problem, we will take it away."

Du Ye explained, afraid that Chang Wei would think he was taking risks with the Chang family, so he immediately explained: "Bai Ze's people have always been not far from us, and are now guarding the alley outside."

Chang Wei nodded and didn't care about the bad guy coming to his door.

The little yellow dog's nest is right at the entrance to the back yard, and it is guarding the man and not letting him in.

After watching for a while under the dim light, Chang Wei pulled Du Ye's sleeve and walked over with a friendly expression, "I'm sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you?"

The man waved his hands impatiently, "Give me the money quickly, I'm in a hurry to do business."

"Okay, don't worry, you won't lose a penny. How much should we compensate?"

"Whatever, whatever."

Chang Wei laughed even more happily, took two steps closer, and suddenly punched the man in the stomach.

A sharp pain came from his abdomen and the man could not stand immediately. He curled up and wanted to fall to the ground. He didn't even have the strength to shout.

Chang Wei and Du Ye stepped forward, holding him on both sides and walking out of the back courtyard door, shouting, "Sister, please steam the buns. We will be back after sending the people away."
