Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 545 Rupture

"My child, what you said makes sense." The second uncle frowned and nodded while thinking, "We have to think of a sensible way to prevent things from getting too tense."

He Yudong felt relieved, knowing that the second uncle would support them in finding a suitable solution. So, he continued: "Dad, I want to find a way to satisfy you and prevent the marriage from breaking up."

The second uncle thought carefully. He knew that this problem was not simple and needed to be handled carefully. After thinking for a moment, he finally said: "My child, go and call Jie Di, and we will discuss it together."

Hearing this, He Yudong felt happy, knowing that the second uncle wanted to discuss a solution with Qin Huairu. He immediately went to find Xie Di and took her to the second uncle's room.

"Xie Di, we have to find a proper solution." The second uncle's tone was serious and firm, "I will respect your choice regarding you and He Yudong, but we must also take the family's reputation into consideration."

Jie Di listened and nodded to express her understanding. "Second uncle, He Yudong and I don't want to get too serious. We will consider the interests of the family."

Qin Huairu stood quietly outside the ward, listening to the conversation in the room. Her eyes were slightly red and swollen, tears welling up in her eyes, but they never came out. She didn't expect that her doubts and dissatisfaction with He Yudong and Yan Jiedi would become the focus of their discussion. At this moment, she felt a deep sense of loss and loneliness.

Quietly, Qin Huairu turned and left the ward, her footsteps soft and almost silent. She didn't want to interrupt their conversation or let them know she heard their discussion. She knew that this was a problem within their family and she didn't want to be the target of interference.

Walking out of the hospital door, Qin Huairu felt very complicated. She felt that her relationship with He Yudong was facing an unprecedented test, and all of this stemmed from the misunderstandings and conflicts between her and Yan Jiedi.

On the way, Qin Huairu silently thought about how to face the predicament at hand. She didn't know what to do to untie the knot in her head and get the marriage back on track. She knows that the most important thing now is to communicate, to understand each other's thoughts and feelings, and to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone.

In a small mahjong parlor, the lights are dim and the air is filled with a faint smell of tobacco. Lou Zhenhua sat at a slightly old square table, with Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai sitting on his left and right sides respectively. There is a deck of playing cards on the table, as well as some dice and mahjong tiles, and they are concentrating on playing mahjong.

Lou Zhenhua's face was full of pride, he was holding a fanned card in his hand, and there was a trace of pride in his eyes. He looked up at Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai, and said with a proud smile: "I will definitely win this round, you two can do whatever you want."

Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other, and they could see a hint of anxiety and unwillingness in each other's eyes. They knew in their hearts that losing this round would probably be a big bet.

"Lao Lou, you're going too far like this," Jia Dongxu said with some dissatisfaction.

Lou Zhenhua burst out laughing, "Winning or losing is a common thing for military officers. Besides, we are all old friends and we are not strangers in the casino. Why should we care too much?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed softly, "But this is the fifth game in a row that you have won. We are all a little upset after losing."

Lou Zhenhua's smile remained unchanged, "So what? This is all a game. Winning and losing are inevitable. Besides, I didn't mean to let you lose."

Jia Dongxu frowned and looked at the cards in his hand, feeling a little reluctant, but he knew that it would be useless to complain any more. He decided to win the next round.

After Liu Guangfu received the order, he felt a little confused. He raised his head and looked at the surrounding environment. It was a small alley with people coming and going. Both sides of the street were filled with stalls of various kinds, and the vendors were shouting in the hustle and bustle. The sun shines through the sparse leaves and onto the ground, casting mottled light and shadow.

He touched the mobile phone in his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and decided to call MCA. He dialed the number, listened to the "beep" sound, and waited for the other party to answer.

"Hey, MCA, it's me, Guangfu." Liu Guangfu said.

"Oh, it's Guangfu, what's the matter?" Ma Hua's voice came from the phone.

"It's like this. I received an order to have a chat with you." Liu Guangfu said hesitantly.

"Oh? What order?" Ma Hua's voice was filled with doubts.

"I'm not sure. It might be an arrangement from above." Liu Guangfu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he didn't know what the specific matter was.

"Okay, when are you free? We can find a place to sit down and talk in detail." There was a hint of expectation in Ma Hua's voice.

"I...I'll be free soon. Where are you?" Liu Guangfu said hesitantly.

"I'm at a cafe near my home. Come over." Ma Hua said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Liu Guangfu hung up the phone, feeling a little uneasy as he didn't know how far the conversation would go.

Liu Guangfu walked into the cafe, and was greeted by the faint aroma of coffee, and a warm atmosphere filled the air. He looked around and found Ma Hua sitting at a corner table. Ma Hua was sitting there, holding a cup of coffee in his hand and looking at the screen of his mobile phone intently.

"Hi, MCA, I'm here." Liu Guangfu walked to MCA and greeted with a smile.

"Guangfu, you're here." Ma Hua put down his phone and stood up to greet him.

After the two sat down, Liu Guangfu said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't know what happened this time. I just received an order to talk to you."

Ma Hua frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "Maybe there is something important that we need to negotiate and resolve together."

At this moment, Jia Dongxu, who was standing next to him, revealed the mystery and said: "Mr. Lou, you are planning to drain the firepower."

After hearing this, Lou Zhenhua smiled slightly but said nothing. He tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about what to do.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Guangfu asked with some confusion.

Ma Hua explained: "Actually, the company has had some problems recently, and Mr. Lou is considering taking some countermeasures."

"Oh, that's it." Liu Guangfu nodded to express his understanding.

After Liu Guangfu pondered for a moment, he seemed to understand something. His brows gradually relaxed, and there was a hint of enlightenment in his eyes. He sighed softly, then looked up at Ma Hua and Jia Dongxu, showing a smile.

"I understand, Mr. Lou, you mean to cut the firepower, right?" Liu Guangfu asked, with a hint of certainty in his voice.

"Yes, we need to take some measures to solve the current dilemma." Lou Zhenhua nodded and expressed his thoughts.

"Then what should we do now?" Liu Guangfu asked, showing his eagerness to solve the problem.

MCA continued: "We can first find out the root cause of the problem and then formulate corresponding solutions."

Jia Dongxu echoed: "Yes, only by identifying the key points of the problem can we solve it in a targeted manner."

They began to discuss seriously in the coffee shop, sorting out the problems one by one and looking for solutions. Liu Guangfu showed his intelligence as an important member of the team. Every point he made was eye-catching and provided new ideas for solving problems. Lou Zhenhua, Ma Hua and Jia Dongxu also used their professional abilities to jointly promote the discussion process.

Sometimes there is a faint sound of music in the cafe, and sometimes there is a strong aroma of coffee. Their conversations were particularly clear in this quiet environment, and every conversation brought them closer to the solution to the problem.

Qin Huairu carefully carried a package and arrived at the door of the second uncle's house. She knocked lightly on the door and waited for it to open.

The second uncle's door slowly opened, revealing a kind face. He recognized Qin Huairu standing at the door and invited her in with a smile.

"Miss Qin, you're here, come in and sit down." The second uncle warmly invited.

Qin Huairu entered the house, looked around, and found that the home was warm and comfortable. The walls were covered with family photos, each one showing warmth and happiness.

"Second uncle, this is a little gift I brought you. I hope you like it." Qin Huairu said and handed over the package in her hand.

The second uncle took the package and opened it. Inside was a box of exquisite tea leaves and a book. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Qin, you are so polite. I will definitely treasure this gift."

They sat down and started chatting about home affairs. Qin Huairu told the second uncle about her recent life, and the second uncle shared some interesting family stories and past memories.

The house is filled with the faint fragrance of tea, which seems to turn this small living room into a warm tea room. Their conversation was relaxed and pleasant, as if they had been old friends for many years.

This simple exchange made the second uncle feel a rare warmth and joy. He was full of gratitude and respect for Qin Huairu, because she was not only his son's wife, but also a kind-hearted and considerate person.

Yan Jiedi was carrying a small basket and was about to go out to buy groceries. She was wearing simple clothes and her hair was tied into a simple bun. She looked delicate and capable.

"Hello, Second Uncle." Yan Jiedi greeted the Second Uncle politely.

"Jie Di, where are you going?" asked the second uncle, looking curiously at the basket in Yan Jie Di's hand.

"I'm going to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables." Yan Jiedi replied in a calm and natural tone.
