Siheyuan: I am stupid, I don't want to be a bootlicker

At noon the next day, a notice came from the steel mill that Qin Huairu was expelled from the factory.

In the next few days, Qin Huairu stayed in the house to recuperate, and Jia Zhang was busy with all the work in front of and behind the house.

There was no longer any smile on Bang Geng's face.

I go to school early every day, and after school I go to the vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves to feed the chickens. I always have injuries on my body when I come back.

He Yuzhu found a tattered quilt and put it in the chicken coop. The four hens were warm and would occasionally lay an egg.

The whole yard began to calm down again.

However, He Yuzhu is getting busier and busier. As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are more and more thieves on the streets.

Although there are fewer fights now that there are patrol teams, these thieves are still difficult to deal with.

After all, there are only a few people on the patrol team, but there are so many people on the street.

He Yuzhu knew that it was useless to catch these thieves in this matter. He had to deal with the thieves and bullies behind them.

These days, he frequently went in and out of the police station and the street office to discuss this matter.

As the weather got colder day by day, the end of winter slipped away with a light snow.

The weather in December was getting colder and colder. After several heavy snowfalls, the school was closed, the rain went home, and night school was no longer held.

Bing Xiaobing and Biaozi stayed in the hospital for about a month and were finally discharged.

However, the doctor specifically advised not to do strenuous exercise, otherwise it would cause secondary tearing of the wounds in the body.

The two were concerned about the case and came to He Yuzhu every few days to inquire about the situation, hoping to find some clues from the situation on the street.

After learning that the street office and police station were planning to carry out a "big cleaning" before the New Year, he actively participated and offered suggestions.

He Yuzhu, Director Hao and Director Wang naturally gave a warm welcome.

After all, these two men are from the investigation department, and catching these petty thieves is simply using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Under normal circumstances, they don't have the ability to invite such a big shot.

That afternoon, after getting off work, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the street office to pick up his wife and take her home.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a loud noise coming from the middle courtyard. I thought something must have happened again.

"Qin Huairu, what on earth are you going to do?"

This is the sound of angry rain.

"Huai Ru, we have lived here together for so many years, what are you doing?"

This is the voice of an old lady.

"Mom, let's go home, okay? Please don't be like this, okay?"

This is Bang Geng's voice with a crying tone.

When He Yuzhu and his wife entered the middle courtyard, they saw that everyone in the yard was gathered at the door of their house and making noise.

"What's going on?"

He Yuzhu shouted, and when everyone saw him coming back, they consciously made way for the couple to go in.

"elder brother."

As soon as He Yushui saw her brother coming back, her eyes immediately turned red.

When Lou's mother saw her daughter and son-in-law come back, she finally felt relieved and took her daughter aside to talk.

"Rainwater, Mom, are you okay?"

He Yuzhu first looked the two men up and down, and only felt relieved when he saw that they had no injuries.

"Brother, Auntie and I are fine, it's just Sister Qin..."

When He Yushui said this, her eyes turned red and she began to cry.

"What's up with her?"

He Yuzhu turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu. He saw that she was holding a small bottle with something in it. She was standing in front of his house.

"She said that you took advantage of your position as the leader of the Workers-Peasants Joint Team to bully her and her widowed mother. She wanted to drink pesticide and commit suicide in front of our house."

He Yuzhu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and asked in a cold voice:

"Qin Huairu, is this what Yu Shui said?"

This was the first time He Yuzhu had seen Qin Huairu since she was beaten up by Hu Jianshe's wife and a few old women.

Her face had healed, but her eye sockets were still red and watery, as if tears would flow out at any time.

"Zhu Zi, Sister Qin believes that she has done nothing to offend you, why do you treat me like this?

Ever since that incident, I lost my job at the steel mill. Wherever I go, people point fingers and talk about me.

You, you are not going to force me to die?"

After she said the last sentence, tears began to fall from Qin Huairu's eyes.

That pale face and timid expression are really heartbreaking.

When the men who were watching heard her words and saw her delicate and aggrieved look, they instantly softened their hearts and the way they looked at He Yuzhu changed.

However, after all, it was not their own business, and no one wanted to take the lead on Qin Huairu's behalf.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu with disdain, sneered, and said coldly:

"Qin Huairu, we are all from the same courtyard, and I wanted to give you some face.

Since you don't care about it, don't blame me for not leaving it for you.

You and Hu Jianshe's gang are planning to take over my father-in-law's farm.

Under the pretext of inviting him to dinner, you drugged his wine and took him to the guesthouse. You were waiting in the room of the guesthouse at that time, right?

Fortunately, Uncle Hou was cautious and realized something was wrong, so he quickly brought my dad back.

This trick didn't work, so you brought Qin Jingru to the city, taking her to buy clothes and eat out every few days, trying to send her to my bed so that you could control me and go find my father.

As a result, Qin Jingru is a good girl with ambition. She was afraid that you would drug her, so she came to me and told me the matter.

My father then arranged for her to work on the farm and live directly in the female workers' dormitory.

Otherwise, why doesn’t she come back to see you after working for such long hours?

Also, you said that I pushed you into a desperate situation and left you no way to survive, so I would like to ask you something.

When we went to Yard No. 37, were you with Hu Jianshe?

Are you two doing that?

To be honest, everyone on patrol stood in the yard for at least ten minutes.

What a pity, you two were so engrossed in the process that you didn’t even notice.

You did such a shameless thing yourself, and you still think I'm pushing you to death?

I, He Yuzhu, swear to heaven that if even one word I say today is false, I will be struck by lightning tonight and die a miserable death.

I'm just curious, how can you say with such a flattering face, "I don't think I have offended me"?

Also, have you forgotten that you almost caused Xiao'e to have a miscarriage two months ago?

What's going on? You're the only smart person in the whole yard, and the rest of us are stupid?"

He Yuzhu said so much in one breath, and the faces of everyone in the yard changed.

The young wives and old women looked at Qin Huairu with disgust, contempt, and disdain, as if they were looking at something in a cesspool.

The young men and old men went from sympathy and heartache at the beginning to astonishment, disgust... and even a bit of amusement in the end.

The patrol team stood in the yard for ten minutes without noticing anything. You can imagine how fierce the battle was at that time.

Qin Huairu felt the piercing gazes from those around her and her face turned pale.

A pair of round eyes stared at He Yuzhu, his lips trembled with anger, and he couldn't utter a word.

He Yuzhu believed that if looks could kill, he would have died millions of times by now.

Too lazy to pay attention to Qin Huairu, he looked at the second uncle who was watching the fun in the crowd:

"By the way, Uncle Er, my cousin's husband is the chief of the Investigation Division of the Public Security Bureau.

He told me that the 300 yuan that was lost from my parents' house and the 200 yuan that was lost from your house were also stolen by Qin Huairu and the thief.

Otherwise, how did the thief know where you keep your money, since it is so secretive?

By the way, she also got a share of the stolen money."

When the second master heard this, he immediately flew into a rage, squeezed out of the crowd, and yelled at Qin Huairu:

"Qin Huairu, we are from the same courtyard after all, how could you do such a heartless thing?"

However, as soon as Er Daye finished speaking, he was still adding in his mind "It's a pity I fed you so many eggs" when Second Aunt pushed him away and took over.

She felt even more aggrieved in her heart. The second uncle wanted to divorce her just because two hundred yuan was lost from home.

Now that I finally have the chance to take revenge, how can I just talk about it?

The second aunt took two steps forward, raised her hand and slapped Qin Huairu on the face twice.

Poor Qin Huairu's pretty face, the suffering she has experienced these days is comparable to that of Tang Monk who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"Qin Huairu, you are a traitor. We are from the same courtyard, but you can do such a wicked thing."

After the second aunt finished speaking, she turned to look at the first and third uncles:

"Uncle one, uncle three, I would just kick her out and stop her from living in this yard.

This is a big yard with more than 20 households. How can everyone survive if there is a thief living there? "

When Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi heard this, their faces changed immediately with fright, and they all looked at the first and third uncles.

If they were really driven out of the yard in this cold winter, they, an orphan and a widow, would have to sleep on the streets.

Fortunately, although the first and third uncles looked unhappy, they did not express their opinions.

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Er, the last time Guangfu was hospitalized, I paid 500 yuan for the hospitalization fee.

It’s almost the New Year, please remember to return it to me.”

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, everyone in the yard burst into laughter.

The second uncle, who was indignant and angry just now, had his fat face flushed red. He thought Sha Zhu had forgotten about this matter.

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? I was just so busy these days that I forgot about it. How can I owe you this money?"

"Hey, I know you wouldn't be short of the 500 yuan, uncle. I'm just worried that you'll be too busy and forget about it, right?"

He Yuzhu said with a half-smile, then looked at Qin Huairu:

"Qin Huairu, aren't you going to drink the pesticides in front of my house? My mom won't stop you, and the rain won't stop you, so drink it.

If you can afford to die, why can't I afford to bury you?

After all, I am the canteen director of a steel mill, and I earn about fifty yuan a month, not much more, but I still have enough money to buy you a coffin.

Don't worry, we have lived in the same courtyard for so many years, even if you, Qin Huairu, have done so many things that have let down my family and everyone else.

I, He Yuzhu, can also be soft-hearted and forgive you. I will definitely give you a grand funeral even if I have to pay for it out of my own pocket.

Others can’t compare to him, but at least it’s definitely more glorious than when Dongxu left.”

As soon as He Yuzhu said this, the people around him started laughing again, and Qin Huairu's face instantly turned into a palette.

Sometimes it is blue, sometimes it is black, sometimes it is green, and sometimes it is red. It has more colors than the rainbow after the rain.

In public, no one was willing to give her a way out, and in the end she could only sit on the ground and cry loudly.

"We can't live like this anymore. Everyone in the yard is bullying us, an orphan and a widow.

Dongxu, please open your eyes and take a look. It would be easier for you to leave and put an end to it all, leaving us, an orphan and a widow, to suffer in this world.

Woohoo… wow wow wow…”

When everyone saw that Qin Huairu, who was usually smart and capable, had actually imitated her mother-in-law Jia Zhangshi's behavior and acted like a scoundrel, they felt bored and started talking to each other before going home.
