Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

Jia Dongxu was also a little confused after hearing what his mother said. When did he become so close to He Yuzhu?

"Have you thought of a good idea?" Zhang Zaibiao asked his elder sister Zhang Cuihua when he saw Zhang Cuihua and her son coming outside.

"Zhu Zi is so smart, this kind of thing should be easy for him, right?" Zhang Cuihua laughed after she finished speaking.

Everyone was speechless when Zhang Cuihua said, "It's a bit stuffy today. I wonder if it will rain?" In fact, everyone is looking forward to the rain, but the rain just hasn't come yet. It seems that the situation this year is very serious again.

Everyone chatted about the weather for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they went home to rest.

Now the Jia family has a lot more housing, and Zhang Cuihua now sleeps alone in her previous room. Because He Yuzhu shocked Jia Dongxu so much today, he was very confused, so he wanted to ask his mother.

"Mom, did Zhuzi eat anything? Why did he become smarter?" Jia Dongxu asked his mother.

"Wasn't he smart when he was a child?" Zhang Cuihua asked her son.

"He was very naughty and a troublemaker when he was a child," Jia Dongxu said after thinking for a while.

"Which naughty child is not smart? Think about when did Zhuzi become unreasonable? Did he become violent?" Zhang Cuihua asked Jia Dongxu again.

"It seemed like he was sixteen or seventeen years old." Jia Dongxu thought for a while. Yes, He Yuzhu was very smart before, but he became stupid for a while.

"What happened in his family at that time?" Zhang Cuihua continued to ask her son.

"I remember now, He Daqing and the widow ran away. Mom, do you mean that Zhuzi is pretending to be stupid?" Jia Dongxu only now understood what his mother meant.

"Of course. He's a teenager with a younger sister. How can he survive if he doesn't behave himself?" Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

Zhang Cuihua's words directly changed Jia Dongxu's outlook on life. He Yuzhu was like this, so was his mother like this? When he was a child, his mother was just a little bit tough, but she was not a shrew. When did she become like this? It was after his father passed away that everything his mother did was intentional.

Jia Dongxu figured it out and looked at his mother in surprise.

"Dongxu, most of the fools in this world are pretending to be stupid. They just pretend to be stupid when they need to. It's getting late, go back to sleep." Zhang Cuihua asked her confused son to go back. He needed to learn these things by himself, no one else could teach him.

Jia Dongxu thought for a long time and fell asleep in the second half of the night.

The next day, Zhang Cuihua took action and mobilized Liu Lan as an insider. She asked her to report any incidents she found going out to drink to her husband. She also gave Liu Lan five yuan and asked her to give it to her husband as funds for drinking and prostitution.

The person Liu Lan reported to was He Yuzhu. After He Yuzhu discovered the situation, he notified Zhang Cuihua, who immediately organized people to take the initiative.

After a day of arrangements, everything was ready, waiting for Liu Lan's target to take the bait.

Ming Zhihe is Liu Lan's husband. His father used to be an employee in the canteen of a steel mill. However, Guo Kang has been idle and not doing his job since he was a child. He didn't go to school well or work. Even after he got married and had children, there was no change. Even after his father passed away, he didn't inherit his job at the steel mill. He let Liu Lan go to work while he played at home. If he didn't have money, he would ask Liu Lan for it, and if she didn't give him money, he would beat her.

When he had money, he would drink and find women. Xiao Chuchu was his favorite. She was young, beautiful, had fair skin, long legs and long hair. Ming Zhihe liked her in every way.

The five-dollar reward given by his wife was found by Ming Zhihe. Ming Zhihe, who had been drinking, wanted to go out again. Regardless of Liu Lan's obstruction, he slapped Liu Lan twice and went out. These two slaps also destroyed all Liu Lan's fantasies about him.

After Ming Zhihe left, Liu Lan also came to Yard 95, informed He Yuzhu, and then Liu Lan went back.

Zhang Cuihua, who got the news, went out and ran all the way to Zhao Chunyan's house. Zhao Chunyan went out and visited several people's homes, and then several women came to the street with a stool in one hand and a palm-leaf fan in the other.

There are at least 800 middle-aged and elderly women like them on the street, if not a thousand. They are not noticeable at all.

He Yuzhu, who was alone, holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, walked about 10 meters ahead of Zhao Chunyan and others, looking like a man who was looking for friends to enjoy the cool air.

Xiao Chuchu's home was in a small alley. There were at least two or three people enjoying the cool air at the entrance of the alley. When He Yuzhu entered the alley, a burst of fierce dog barking was heard, like a mad dog in trouble.

Just as everyone was looking for the mad dog, a cry for help came from Xiao Chuchu's house.

"Someone come quickly... Help me..." The young woman's voice was high-pitched and shrill.

"It's the Xiao family. A drunk just went in. Everyone go and help." A voice rang out, and twenty or thirty people rushed to the Xiao family.

Chapter 220 Li Huaide is scolded

When Xiao Chuchu called out, Ming Zhihe was stunned and quickly said, "Chuchu, it's me, your brother He. I have money." Ming Zhihe took out five dollars from his pocket and let Xiao Chuchu take a look.

But Xiao Chuchu remained unmoved and continued shouting.

"Stop shouting." Ming Zhihe thought Xiao Chuchu must be ill. What if someone hears you shouting like this? Nowadays, whoring has no good reputation.

Ming Zhihe wanted to cover Xiao Chuchu's mouth. He knocked Xiao Chuchu down and covered her mouth with one hand. When the cry for help stopped, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open, and twenty or thirty people came in. Everyone saw a naked man pressing on a woman, with one hand covering his mouth and the other hand grabbing the woman's chest. They understood what was going on at a glance, it was a complete and violent scene.

Led by Zhao Chunyan and Liu Chuncao, a group of old women attacked Ming Zhihe.

After the beating, someone found a rope from Xiao's house and tied Ming Zhihe up.

"Such scum must be sent to the police station," said Zhao Chunyan.

A neighbor asked Xiao Chuchu, "Chuchu, what do you think?" If the neighbor knew about this and called the police, it would not be good for Xiao Chuchu's reputation.

"Report to the authorities," Xiao Chuchu said firmly.

"Send to the police station." Twenty or thirty old women, escorting the naked Ming Zhihe, followed by the disheveled Xiao Chuchu, came to the Hongxing police station.

Zhang Weihua was on duty today. He was drinking water in the duty room when a large group of people rushed into the police station. Zhang Weihua hurried out and saw a naked man tied with ropes, and several burly old women were escorting him from behind. The leader was Zhao Chunyan, the most famous matchmaker in his area.

"Sister Zhao, what's going on?" Zhang Weihua asked.

"Director Zhang, today a few of us were taking a walk on the street after dinner. When we passed by Shijia Hutong, we heard someone shouting for help, so we rushed in together. We arrested a rapist on the spot and brought him to you. We were all there and saw it," Zhao Chunyan briefly explained what happened.

"***? You are quite brave." Zhang Weihua asked two police officers to arrest Ming Zhihe, and arranged for several people to take statements from Xiao Chuchu and everyone else.

After doing all this, it was already midnight. All the neighbors in Shijia Hutong took their statements and went back home smiling while talking about what happened that day.

Zhao Chunyan and her colleagues started taking statements early, so they went home long ago.

"Director, the incident is too clear. More than 20 people saw it at the same time. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be impossible for them to say it in such a similar way. No matter how you teach, it won't work," a young man said to Zhang Weihua.

"Has the guy inside confessed?" Zhang Weihua asked.

"He's so stubborn. Even with so many witnesses in front of him, he just refuses to admit it. He keeps saying that others framed him. He never thinks about what value he has that would make him worthy of being framed. He's just a scoundrel with no money and no job, and he has to rely on his wife for support." The young man laughed as he said this.

"I have to confess, let's use some tricks," Zhang Weihua said. In this era, with such witnesses, the result would be the same whether he confessed or not, but Zhang Weihua was a perfectionist and all the procedures had to be closed.

The whips in the interrogation room were waved, and there were corresponding slogans, "Will you tell me? Will you tell me?"

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Ming Zhihe had suffered such torture before, and he couldn't bear it anymore after being beaten for just a few minutes.

But can you say what you want to say? Why didn't you say anything when we asked you? The police also have tempers, okay?

"Will you tell me or not? Will you tell me or not?" The whip continued to whip him.

"I said, I want to say it..., I raped her, I admit it," Ming Zhihe shouted loudly.

"Forget it, finish recording your statement quickly and go back to rest for a while. There have been so many things to do these days," another young man advised.

"Hurry up!" The guy who was beating the man stopped with the whip and the confession was recorded.

The next day, all the evidence against Ming Zhihe was complete, and he was directly sentenced to ten years in prison. Liu Lan took this opportunity to file for a divorce, which was immediately approved by the neighborhood office. Liu Lan and her two children also severed ties with Ming Zhihe, and the two children also changed their surname to Liu.

After leaving the street office, Liu Lan squatted on the ground and cried loudly, saying goodbye to her past self. Zhang Cuihua waited for her, but did not try to persuade her when she saw her crying. She thought that crying was the best way to let out the pent-up feelings in her heart.

"Sister Hua, thank you." Liu Lan, who had been crying for a long time, stood up and said to Zhang Cuihua who was standing aside.

"Don't call me sister, I can't bear it." Zhang Cuihua said with a smile, "Are you going back to work or home?"

"I'll go home and rest for a day. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow," Liu Lan said to Zhang Cuihua.

"There's no need to have a meal, we're all family," Zhang Cuihua refused with a smile.

At this time, Li Huaide was answering a phone call from his cousin Wang Xiuqin.

"Sister, is there something wrong?" Li Huaide picked up the phone and recognized it was his cousin's voice.

"Li Huaide, you are really promising. Are you doing this to Xiaofang?" Wang Xiuqin scolded.

"Sister, what's going on?" Li Huaide really didn't know why he was being scolded.

"You are good at pretending to be crazy and stupid, and you have also learned to use tricks and schemes. Don't you know what you arranged Zhang Cuihua and others to do?" Wang Xiuqin continued to scold Li Huaide.

Li Huaide's brain was working rapidly. Did he arrange for Zhang Cuihua to work harder in the Women's Federation? Did someone go to the higher authorities to complain? This was aboveboard. What did it have to do with conspiracy?

"Li Huaide, don't play deaf and dumb. What's going on with Liu Lan? Why was her boyfriend sentenced to ten years in prison? You are capable. You are not a high-ranking official, but you have learned a lot of bad habits. I told you that Liu Lan is divorced, but I want to hear rumors. I will not forgive you." Wang Xiuqin hung up the phone angrily.

Li Huaide understood a little bit. It was Liu Lan's business, but why was Liu Lan's boyfriend sentenced to ten years? She was divorced, and what was her relationship with Zhang Cuihua? He just couldn't figure it out.

"Xiao Zhao, go downstairs and see if Zhang Cuihua is in the office. Ask her to come to my place," Li Huaide shouted outside.

A young man agreed and went downstairs quickly. Of course Zhang Cuihua was not there. She was standing at the door of the street office, watching Liu Lan crying.

When it was almost time for lunch, Zhang Cuihua returned to the office, sat down and drank a sip of water. Qian Ying told her that Deputy Director Li wanted to see her about something.

Zhang Cuihua did not dare to delay, put down the cup and went upstairs.

Chapter 221 Fishing in Guanting Reservoir

"Uncle, are you looking for me?" Zhang Cuihua came to Li Huaide's office.

"Cuihua, what's the matter with Liu Lan's boyfriend?" Li Huaide asked Zhang Cuihua to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.

"You know?" Zhang Cuihua quickly stood up.

"Yeah, what happened?" Li Huaide thought, it was really a good thing done by this good boy.

"Ming Zhihe was Liu Lan's boyfriend. He beat her every day, and Liu Lan had enough of him, so she thought of a way to send him to jail. He was convicted of adultery and sentenced to ten years in prison. Liu Lan also divorced him," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Did you use any tricks?" Li Huaide asked.

"Without some tricks, would he be willing to divorce? He's a gangster and he doesn't have a job, how does he live? When his father was alive, he relied on his father, and when his father died, he relied on his wife. I can't stand such people," Zhang Cuihua said indignantly.

"Did it cost a lot of money?" Li Huaide asked again.

"It's not much. I gave that woman a hundred yuan, asked a few friends for help, and treated her to a meal. Cousin, you have helped me so much, I should repay you. I paid for all the expenses," said Zhang Cuihua.

Although Li Huaide didn't know the specific details from Zhang Cuihua's words, he understood that the matter was not simple.

"I'll give you the money no matter how much you spent. If you have anything in the future, talk to me. My cousin scolded me today," Li Huaide said to Zhang Cuihua tactfully.

If he said that he had nothing to do with Liu Lan, none of the thousands of workers in the factory would believe him; his wife might know about it, but if he used some means to do something about it, the impact would not be good. It was fortunate that Lao Yang of the steel rolling mill cooperated well. If it happened in other units, he would be in big trouble for this matter.

Li Huaide took out two hundred yuan and forced it into Zhang Cuihua's pocket, asking her to tell her friends to keep it a secret. Zhang Cuihua took the money and returned to her office happily.

During lunch, Zhang Cuihua found He Yuzhu to discuss how to thank Zhao Chunyan and others.

"Aren't you treating me to a meal?" He Yuzhu asked.

"What to eat? There is nothing on the market now?" said Zhang Cuihua.
