Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

"Jia Dongxu? That fat guy, if he doesn't wake up hungry, he can probably sleep until tomorrow morning!"

Yang Lei simply carried Qin Huairu directly onto the kang in the Jia family's house.

Sure enough, Jia Dongxu was sleeping as soundly as a dead pig.

The saliva from the corners of his mouth soaked the clothes on his chest.

"Why didn't you come to my house last night?"

Yang Lei asked Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Yang Lei, you're going too far! I waited at your door for over an hour and was almost caught by my second uncle who got up to use the restroom."

Qin Huairu looked aggrieved. She had waited so long for Yang Lei last night.

She didn't even feel like eating dinner because she couldn't wait for Yang Lei.

"That's a bit tricky."

Yang Lei felt that this was indeed a problem. Qin Huairu running around so late at night would easily be discovered.

"How about this, Qin Huairu, don't come to see me these few days..."

"Then what about me and the baby in my belly? It's okay if I'm not hungry, but the baby can't be hungry!"

Qin Huairu loves children very much. She treasures her eldest son Banggeng and youngest daughter Xiaodang, born to Jia Dongxu, as well as the child she is pregnant with, Yang Lei.

"Don't worry about that, I won't let you starve.

From now on, you will go to the cafeteria after get off work every day."

Yang Lei would never let her take the lunch box home. She would definitely not be able to eat the food she brought back, and it would definitely be snatched away by that evil mother-in-law, Jia Zhang.

"Yang Lei, I'll listen to you."

Qin Huairu also knew that if she brought a lunch box home, she would definitely have nothing to eat. With Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng around, it would never be her turn.

"Come on, open your mouth!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu was cooperative, Yang Lei gave her an anti-aging pill.

"What is this? It tastes so good, is it candy? Yang Lei, can you give me two more so that Banggeng and Xiaodang can try them?"

"Ok?"

Yang Lei was stunned for a moment and was about to scold Qin Huairu for being greedy.

After thinking about it, there is no harm in giving Banggeng one.

Banggeng is six years old this year. If he takes the anti-aging pill, he will stay six years old forever!

Although the six-year-old Banggeng has developed a bit of a petty theft habit due to Jia Zhang's pampering, he is still a child after all and is not very destructive.

When Bang Geng grows up, he becomes a big thief!

Not letting Banggeng grow up is actually the best arrangement for Banggeng, Siheyuan, and society.

Yang Lei took out another anti-aging pill.

"Qin Huairu, listen carefully, Xiaodang can't eat this, it can only be given to Banggeng."

"Okay, I understand.

Hey! Yang Lei, be careful! Jia Dongxu is still here!

...

Half an hour later, Yang Lei grabbed Jia Dongxu's arm and dragged him out.

"Yang Lei, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have been worried about how to get Dongxu to the yard."

Qin Huairu's face flushed with shame and her eyes flickered.

After hearing what Yang Lei said, Qin Huairu understood everything clearly.

She sighed: "Yang Lei, stop pretending. You scared me to death just now. I thought Jia Dongxu was going to wake up."

Yang Lei patted the handlebars of his bicycle cheerfully and said, "It's okay, neighbors should help each other.

If the weather is good tomorrow, I will come and help you."

Sha Zhu rushed in from outside, looking unhappy.

He had just been put in jail for a few days for beating someone up. He thought Yi Zhonghai would come to pick him up, but no one came, which made him very angry.

Entering the yard, he saw Yang Lei and Qin Huairu talking and laughing together. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "What are you two whispering about? Qin Huairu, did Yang Lei bully you again?"

Qin Huairu quickly stood up and said, "Silly Zhu, you misunderstood. This has nothing to do with you.

Yang Lei, thank you for your help."

Yang Lei waved his hand, got on his bike and was about to leave: "It's okay, neighbors help each other.

I have to go to the factory. I heard that an old man was detained by the security department. I want to go and ask what's going on."

Sha Zhu was anxious: "Wait, are you telling the truth? How could an old man be detained? Was it you who did this?"

Yang Lei rolled his eyes at him. "You ask me? Who should I ask? If you want to know, why don't you just go to the security department and ask."

After saying that, Yang Lei rode away on his bicycle.

Sha Zhu stood there, feeling very aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

When he was pushing his bicycle to leave, he found that Yan Bugui had already gone to school.

When they arrived at the factory gate, Secretary Gu from the Security Department recognized Yang Lei and greeted him warmly.

Secretary Gu holds Yang Lei's secret in his hands, and of course Yang Lei knows it too.

So he asked Secretary Gu to cooperate. Secretary Gu dared not disobey and immediately patted his chest and promised that he would tell Yang Lei everything he knew.

"I heard that the Security Department detained Yi Zhonghai, a fitter from Workshop 4. What's going on?" Yang Lei asked.

"Wow, Section Chief Yang is really well-informed.

Last night, Yi Zhonghai was caught in the woods stealing brass from the factory to sell for money.

"He's been caught red-handed. Section Chief Liu is in contact with the Public Security Bureau, and they'll be sending someone to take Yi Zhonghai away right away."

"What? Yi Zhonghai stole things from the factory? Why didn't I think of it? Can I go and see him?" Yang Lei was a little surprised.

Yi Zhonghai was a seventh-level fitter, earning 84.5 yuan a month, which was a considerable income in the 1950s and 1960s.

There are only him and his wife in his family. They have no children and are not burdened with heavy responsibilities. How could he possibly steal brass and sell it?

Chapter 71: Going to college? I thought it was a big deal!

Yang Lei found it unbelievable and even suspected that Yi Zhonghai had some problem with his brain to do such a thing.

"Well... Chief Yang, Section Chief Liu specifically instructed that you are not allowed to see anyone, but you are not an outsider, so go in, but don't stay too long." Secretary Gu said as he handed a key to Yang Lei.

"Don't worry, I'll just say a few words and leave. I won't cause you any trouble.

Oh, by the way, I've made an appointment with Section Chief Liu. When we have time, we can have a party with the Security Department and the cafeteria so we can have some fun together." Yang Lei took the key and thought about how to win people's hearts.

Yang Lei is a good person, and he uses this trick very smoothly. Now everyone praises him for his goodness and efficiency.

……

Yang Lei took the key and entered the small room of the security department and found Yi Zhonghai huddled in the corner.

In just one night, Yi Zhonghai looked like he had aged a dozen years, with his hair almost completely white.

Yi Zhonghai cares a lot about his reputation. He knows that stealing things from the company is too shameful, not to mention that the stolen material is such an important material as brass.

"Uncle, how could you do this?" Yi Zhonghai thought the police had come. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Yang Lei. He said nothing and just closed his eyes and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

……

"Uncle, Shazhu has been released. He may be here soon." Yang Lei said.

"Who told you to tell Sha Zhu?" Yi Zhonghai suddenly opened his eyes, his voice filled with anger.

Yi Zhonghai was anxious now, because Sha Zhu was unreliable.

As soon as he shows up, there will definitely be some trouble.

"Yang Lei, you're so cruel! You knew Sha Zhu had a quick temper and was easily provoked, yet you still deliberately told him this!"

"Master, what you said is wrong.

I didn't ask you to steal things from the company. You broke the rules and stole public property, and now you blame me.

Haha, after all, Jia Dongxu lives the most comfortably. He eats, sleeps, and eats again when he wakes up, just like a pig."

"Yang Lei, it's you! As expected, I knew something was wrong that night. Qin Huairu went to find you! How did you get her?"

Yi Zhonghai heard the hidden meaning in the words and understood it all at once.

Yi Zhonghai has sharp ears at night, and he can hear clearly every time Qin Huairu goes out.

At first, Yi Zhonghai thought Qin Huairu was going to the public toilet in the front yard.

Later, I thought about it carefully and felt something was wrong. If Qin Huairu just went to the bathroom, she should have come back long ago.

I usually hear her come back around dawn.

Yi Zhonghai couldn’t figure it out before, but now he finally understands it.

"Master, Qin Huairu is pregnant with my child.

If you want to know, I’ll tell you.”

"Yang Lei, you are not a human! I will report you!"

"Haha, uncle, do you think anyone will believe what you say?"

Yang Lei's words "bad background" scared Yi Zhonghai so much that his face turned pale.

Yang Lei continued to provoke Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, are you planning to wait for Jia Dongxu to die, then let Qin Huairu marry Sha Zhu, and let them support you, an old lonely man?"

Yi Zhonghai was frightened to death, as if he had seen a ghost.

He did have such a plan in mind.

Yi Zhonghai was really planning to match Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu as soon as Jia Dongxu died.

But he kept this matter deep in his heart, and even his wife didn't know.

"You, how did you know?"

"Master, I have something to say to you.

If you don’t want people to know, then don’t do it! God is watching you do it!

Yi Zhonghai's face was as pale as paper, and he felt like he was naked in front of Yang Lei.

Yang Lei looked at Yi Zhonghai with a playful expression.

This guy who usually puts on airs is now extremely embarrassed.

"Why are the security department holding me captive? Release me immediately!"

"It's Shazhu who's here!"

Yi Zhonghai, who was in a panic, suddenly heard Sha Zhu's voice.

"Haha, uncle, Sha Zhu is such a filial grandson, he came to save you.

I'll stir things up and have Sha Zhu destroy the security department so you can get out."

Yang Lei smiled, dusted himself off, and left the small dark room where Yi Zhonghai was locked up.

"Yang Lei, stop right there!"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked.

He knew that Sha Zhu had a hot temper, and if Yang Lei provoked him, he would definitely make a big fuss!

Yi Zhonghai was reported for secretly selling brass from the factory and was caught red-handed during a transaction last night.

If Sha Zhu really listened to Yang Lei and smashed the security department, he would have to go back to accompany Yi Zhonghai not long after he was released from prison.

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
