Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

“Sister-in-law, it’s all a misunderstanding.

I am so old, how could I possibly have such thoughts about Huairu? I actually treat her as my daughter-in-law."

Yi Zhonghai quickly begged for mercy.

"Nonsense! Huairu is the daughter-in-law of our Jia family, how can you think like that?"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she jumped up and down in anger.

The two men wearing red armbands saw that there seemed to be an argument here, so they turned their attention over here.

This scared Yi Zhonghai.

He quickly winked at Jia Zhang, signaling her to stop talking.

"What is your relationship?"

Sure enough, the two men wearing red armbands had already walked up to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.

"This is my wife. Didn't I ask you to buy something delicious for our grandson? How can I buy it if you don't give me money or grain coupons?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she laughed. Her triangular eyes rolled and she immediately came up with a bad idea.

"Yes, yes, I still have two kilograms of fine grain coupons here.

My dear grandson, come with grandpa to the state-owned store to buy some delicious food."

Yi Zhonghai hurried down the stairs and stuffed all the two kilograms of fine grain coupons in his pocket and the five dollars in his hand into Jia Zhangshi.

"Grandma, I'm craving candy!"

Banggeng was so anxious that he kept shouting, wanting to eat candy.

"Ask your grandfather to buy it for you!"

Jia Zhang snatched the two kilograms of fine grain coupons and five dollars from Yi Zhonghai's hand, but she did not use the money to buy candy for her grandson. Instead, she sent Banggeng to ask Yi Zhonghai for money and grain coupons!

Yi Zhonghai was so angry, but he really couldn't vent his anger at this time, after all, there were two people wearing red armbands standing next to him.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will buy you something delicious."

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to pretend to be cheerful, and took out two dollars and half a pound of fine grain coupons from his pocket to buy food for Banggeng.

"I want fried dough twists, big meat buns, candy, and soy milk!"

Banggeng is not very old, but he has a strong appetite.

This greedy behavior is caused by Jia Zhangshi.

When the two men wearing red armbands saw the appearance of Yi Zhonghai and the three generations of Jia Zhang's family, they stopped asking Yi Zhonghai questions and turned around to patrol elsewhere.

Yi Zhonghai watched them walk away and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, I took the risk to come to you today because I have something to tell you. You have to keep a close eye on Huairu."

Yi Zhonghai came back after buying things for Banggeng and whispered to Jia Zhangshi.

"Old Yi, what do you mean? Are you saying that our Huairu has something to do with Yang Lei in the backyard?"

Jia Zhang stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes.

"Sister-in-law, it's true, but Huairu can't be blamed for it. It's that Yang Lei who's such a jerk. He pushed Huairu into a corner."

During this period, Yi Zhonghai was wanted.

But he never left the vicinity of the courtyard, especially at night, and he never stopped for a moment.

Yi Zhonghai sneaked into the courtyard under the cover of darkness and strong wind.

He had seen Qin Huairu sneak out in the middle of the night before and thought she was going to the toilet in the front yard, but he saw her going to the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to find Qin Huairu to do something, but he stopped her before she reached the backyard.

Thinking about it afterwards, he felt that Qin Huairu must be hiding something.

He regretted coming out too early. If he had followed her, he might have discovered something.

"Yi Zhonghai, you are talking nonsense! Our Huairu is very well-behaved! If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for not giving you face!" Jia Zhang glared at Yi Zhonghai and warned him.

Yi Zhonghai was frightened by Jia Zhang's attitude and stepped back repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, you know that Dongxu is my apprentice, and I treat Dongxu like my own son.

Huairu is my daughter-in-law, how can I say she is unfaithful to her husband?"

"Huai Ru is fine. It's Yang Lei from the backyard. You know that guy. It was because of his negligence that Dong Xu was injured and paralyzed!" Yi Zhonghai quickly pushed the responsibility onto Yang Lei.

Jia Zhang originally hated Yang Lei.

When her son Jia Dongxu was injured by a steel ingot, she suspected that Yang Lei had done it on purpose.

Later, she went to Yang Lei's house to make trouble and smashed the dining table. As a result, she was arrested by the police for seven days.

Now Yi Zhonghai was putting the blame on Yang Lei again, and Jia Zhang's anger was rising again: "Damn Yang Lei, I thought he had learned everything. He came to help Huairu hold Dongxu in the sun, but it turns out he was targeting Huairu!"

"Old Yi, are you looking for me just for such a trivial matter?" Jia Zhang knew it clearly in her mind. Yi Zhonghai was a wanted criminal and he openly stopped her on the street to talk to her. How could he come to me just for such a trivial matter?

Chapter 183 Zhang Maosheng said it easily.

"Of course not, I have something else to discuss with you." Yi Zhonghai swallowed nervously.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai has a big secret: he is a descendant of the Japanese.

Only he himself knew the truth about this matter, but at the time at Lou’s Steel Plant, two old workers also knew about it.

But after liberation, when Lou Zhenhua donated the steel plant, the two of them disappeared together.

At that time, the capital had just been liberated and the situation was very chaotic. Anything could happen.

There was a high turnover of staff at Lou’s Steel Plant, so no one cared when the two old workers disappeared.

Ultimately, it was because these two old workers knew Yi Zhonghai's true identity.

Yi Zhonghai, formerly known as Inukai Zhonghai, was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he took ruthless action against the two old workers.

Jia Zhang didn't know about all these twists and turns. She only knew that Yi Zhonghai was a thief who stole state property.

Yi Zhonghai took such a big risk to stop her on the street, he must have some plan.

"Old Yi, you are right. It was all done by that kid Yang Lei! By the way, Old Yi, did you come to me and think of how to deal with that kid Yang Lei?" Jia Zhang asked Yi Zhonghai with squinted eyes.

"Sister-in-law, this is actually quite simple. We can let Huairu pretend to agree to Yang Lei, so that we can catch his weakness..."

"Old Yi, are you asking us to let Huairu act with Yang Lei?"

Jia Zhang was no fool in this regard, and she revealed Yi Zhonghai's thoughts in just one sentence.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag again, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, what I mean is that Huairu should ask Yang Lei out. When Yang Lei makes a move on Huairu, we can catch him on the spot. Even if we can't send him to the police station, we can at least make him bleed a lot of money and pay us a large sum of money."

Yi Zhonghai's words hit the nail on the head for Jia Zhang.

“Old Yi, your idea is good, but our Huairu’s reputation is also very important.

Even though Dongxu is paralyzed in bed right now, he would definitely be angry if he knew about this.”

Jia Zhangshi wanted to take advantage of others and pretend to be noble at the same time.

Yi Zhonghai has lived in the same yard with her for seven or eight years, how could he not understand her character?

"Sister-in-law, you can rest assured about this.

I've made up my mind. After we get evidence against Yang Lei, we won't call the police. We won't let them get involved. We'll handle this privately."

Yi Zhonghai's approach was exactly what Jia Zhang wanted.

She wanted to extort some money from Yang Lei, who was now the director of the General Affairs Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Jia Zhang heard that Yang Lei was living a comfortable life now, eating and drinking well.

Moreover, Yang Lei’s current salary plus subsidies is more than 70 yuan a month.

Jia Zhang thought to herself, how could Yang Lei spend so much money by himself? It would be a waste to keep the money with him, so why not let her help him spend it?

She is extremely shameless.

"Lao Yi, I have the same idea as you.

I've already called my nephew Maosheng from my hometown. When the time comes to catch Yang Lei in trouble, I'll just have Maosheng come forward."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Jia Zhang's proud tone and said that she had brought her nephew Zhang Maosheng from her hometown to the capital, his brows immediately twisted into a knot.

"Sister-in-law, your eldest nephew is not young anymore. Is it appropriate for him to live with you?"

What Yi Zhonghai said was all from his heart.

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at him. "Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean? Maosheng is my nephew. What's inconvenient about him living here? I've already thought about it. Shazhu has been arrested, so his room is empty."

"I'm planning to let Maosheng live in Shazhu's room."

This is Jia Zhang's little trick.

She called her eldest nephew Zhang Maosheng over, firstly to ask him to take care of the paralyzed Jia Dongxu, and secondly to occupy Sha Zhu's house! Of course, this was only the first step, Jia Zhang was still thinking about Yi Zhonghai's house!

"Sister-in-law, although Sha Zhu was arrested, he was wrongly accused.

I believe he will be able to come out soon..."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes again. "Old Yi, what do you mean by that? We don't intend to occupy Sha Zhu's house. We're just living here temporarily. When Sha Zhu gets out, we'll definitely return the house to him!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart. He knew that once the house fell into Jia Zhang's hands, would he be able to get it back? She never vomited out what she swallowed!

"Old sister-in-law, I know you are a sensible person, so let your eldest nephew Maosheng live in Shazhu's house first."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to say any more words. He was now focused on dealing with Yang Lei.

As long as Jia Zhang can persuade her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu to find a way to hook up with Yang Lei, it will be fine.

As for where Sha Zhu will live in the future, that has nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Zhang was overjoyed. With just a few words, she got the house from Sha Zhu's family. This was a great deal for her.

"Okay, Lao Yi, don't worry. When Sha Zhu is released from prison, I will let my nephew Maosheng move out."

Jia Zhang said this lightly, and Yi Zhonghai certainly understood that this was meant for him.

As long as Zhang Maosheng could live in Sha Zhu's house, Sha Zhu would have to move to "480" the next day. Jia Zhang would never let her nephew Maosheng move out.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, sacrificing Sha Zhu's interests is the most normal thing to do, and it is not the first time he has done such a thing.

After Yi Zhonghai persuaded Jia Zhang, he waited for Qin Huairu and Yang Lei to get involved, and then he would take the opportunity to call the police.

He didn't just want Yang Lei to pay some money to compensate the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai's goal is to get the police to arrest Yang Lei.

In his opinion, Yang Lei was simply a stumbling block to him.

Ever since Yang Lei's character became tough, Yi Zhonghai felt that everything was going wrong.

He felt that if he wanted to turn things around, he had to put Yang Lei in jail, even if it was just for a few days, so that he could use this opportunity to clear his reputation.

He believed that as long as Yang Lei didn't make trouble, he could solve all the problems.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Banggeng stuffed sesame balls, big meat buns, white flour steamed buns and fried dough twists into his mouth while staring at other things in the state-owned canteen.

"Banggeng, good boy, stop eating. Your uncle Maosheng will be here soon. Put all the food in my cloth bag!"

In fact, Jia Zhang was also very greedy. She asked Banggeng to leave the food for her, but she actually wanted to eat it secretly.

As Jia Zhang spoke, she took out a fine cloth bag from her pocket, opened it and waited for Banggen to put the food in his hand.

But Banggeng would never give it to her easily.

"Grandma, I won't put anything in your cloth bag. If I put it in, you will definitely eat it all!"

Banggeng pouted and guarded his food tightly, fearing that Jia Zhang would snatch it away.

"Grandma, this is the food Lao Yi bought for me. Do you want to take it away? I won't give it to you!"

Banggeng stuffed the sesame balls into his mouth while protecting the remaining food in his hands.

"You little brat! Hurry up and give me the food. How can I snatch it from you? I'm saving it for you. Eat it slowly when you get home. Eating too much is not good for your health!"

No matter how Jia Zhang persuaded or threatened, Banggeng refused to give it to her.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him with a stick.

"How dare you hit me, you damn old woman!"
