Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

"Who the hell are you to come and ask me this?"

He Yuzhu's expression suddenly changed and he didn't treat him well. After all, Yi Zhonghai was so old and he couldn't provoke him too much, so he saved his face to prevent him from doing something desperate.

But this Yi Wendi is no good at all. He still wants to talk nonsense in front of me and he has no right to speak.

"Xu Xiaomei is your wife. What do you mean by coming here to ask me? Are you trying to accuse me of having any relationship with your wife?"

He Yuzhu's words made Yi Wending's face turn pale and blue. He didn't mean that!

Although he was a eunuch and could not be humane, he could not tolerate his wife having an affair with another man.

Especially since this man is He Yuzhu, who is the archenemy of his family.

Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped Yi Wending and said, "Zhu Zi, we don't have any other intentions. We just want to ask you if my little sister came to work today and if you saw her?"

He Yuzhu was very surprised and asked, "I'm just wondering, didn't she marry your precious son yesterday? Why did you come here this morning to find out what happened to her?"

Yi Wending opened his mouth angrily, turned around and squatted beside him, took out a cigarette, lit it, and sulked away.

There was such a big commotion in the courtyard last night, He Yuzhu would know about it soon, so he didn't care about the embarrassment and said directly:

"My little sister is still a child after all, and she is somewhat resistant to marriage. She ran away secretly last night and has not been found yet."

"Run away?" He Yuzhu asked in shock.

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Yes, I don't know why she ran away suddenly. Did you see her?"

"The bride ran away on the wedding day. I asked you before, you said it was a free love relationship and she was willing to marry into your family, so why did she run away?"

"Of course this is free love, but I also..."

"I say, Lao Yi, you are fooling around here. How could I not know what the conflict between your two families is? Why did Xu Damao go to the police station? And why did he come out yesterday?"

He Yuzhu's question left Yi Zhonghai speechless. There was no way to answer this question at all.

He Yuzhu said: "As a neighbor in the courtyard, I have no right to intervene in your affairs, but as the director of the machinery factory, Xu Xiaomei is an employee of the machinery factory, so I have the right to intervene."

"If Yi Wen Ding married Xu Xiaomei by coercion, bribery, deception, or deception, I will not forgive you and will report you to the police station. This is a new society and arranged marriages are not allowed. Once discovered, you will be sent to jail."

Yi Zhonghai was a little dumbfounded. He hadn't thought there was anything wrong with this matter before. After all, both families agreed and no one else could interfere.

However, no one expected He Yuzhu to jump out at this time and ask about Xu Xiaomei's marriage in the name of the leader of the machinery factory.

If Xu Xiaomei told He Yuzhu everything, he would have evidence against her and might even have to send herself and her eldest son to the police station.

She immediately said awkwardly, "How could that be possible? It's impossible. There was no coercion or inducement. Otherwise, Sister Xu wouldn't have willingly held the wedding with my son yesterday."

"Haha, don't let me find any evidence."

He Yuzhu didn't respond to them after he finished speaking and pushed his bicycle into the factory.

Yi Wending was terrified and asked, "Dad, what should we do now? She won't really tell Sha Zhu everything, will she? We won't really go to the police station and go to jail, will we?"

"That shouldn't be the case. What we need to do now is to find your wife and ask her to promise not to tell anyone about this."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he didn't know where to vent his anger. What had happened? A good wedding had turned into this.

The most important thing right now is to find Xu Xiaomei as soon as possible. No more accidents can happen, otherwise the 1500 yuan may be lost.

"Now what?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "You stay here and guard the gate. I will go find Xu Wude and I will definitely find her."

Yi Wendi's face was full of bitterness, but he couldn't seem to think of any other solution, so he could only stand guard outside the gate obediently. Yi Zhonghai hurried to find Xu Wude.

But they were disappointed. After waiting for a whole day, they didn't see Xu Xiaomei come to work, and there was no good news from Xu Wude.

Xu Wude didn't want any more accidents to happen. After all, if it happened again, there might be a reversal in the case of his son injuring someone. So he promised Yi Zhonghai that he would persuade Xu Xiaomei to live a peaceful life and not do anything rash.

When He Yuzhu was getting off work, he saw Yi Wending sitting on the curb guarding the gate, but he just shook his head and ignored him. He rode his bicycle back to the yard.

Xu Xiaomei was still wearing her wedding dress and looked as shy as a newlywed bride. When she saw He Yuzhu enter the yard, she came out and took the briefcase that He Yuzhu handed over.

Then he went to get some warm water, wet a towel and handed it over.

While wiping his face, He Yuzhu talked about Yi Wending guarding outside the gate for a day, and then asked: "What do you want to do? Should we send them to the police station?"

Xu Xiaomei thought about it and said, "Forget it. Since I have already agreed to get a marriage certificate with him and held a wedding ceremony, it can be considered as fulfilling my previous promise."

"If we send them both in, there will be a lot of trouble in the city. I don't know how much trouble it will cause. It's better to continue like this. I will be your wife in secret and live an honest life."

Although Xu Xiaomei had many regrets in her heart, she knew that it was impossible for her to marry He Yuzhu, and this result was already the best at the moment.

So I didn't want to bother them anymore and explained everything to them clearly that I was only the daughter-in-law of the Yi family in name. I had a job anyway, and they would have nothing to do with each other in the future and could live their own lives.

He Yuzhu handed her the towel and said, "Have you made up your mind?"

Xu Xiaomei nodded and said, "Let's do this now that you've made up your mind."

"Well, just make things clear tomorrow."

Then ask: "Have you rested today?"

Xu Xiaomei nodded shyly: "I'm fine now, but you can't torture me so many times today."

The two spent another wonderful night. The next day, He Yuzhu went to work as usual and found Yi Wending still guarding outside the gate.

I ignored him, worked a day, and then returned to Courtyard No. 95.

He Daqing thought he was there to watch the fun, so he exaggerated the story.

He Yuzhu asked: "So everyone knows about this?"

"Of course. Not only our alley, but even the people in the surrounding alleys know about it."

He Yushui said: "It has spread all over our school, and some people have even come to me to ask about it."

"Really? Now Yi Zhonghai is famous."

"Yes, it has spread all over the factory."

After dinner, the family talked about Xu Xiaomei's escape from marriage, and then talked about the pest control issue that they were most concerned about.

In the previous period of time, we mainly caught mice. After this period of hard work, the results can be said to be outstanding.

We caught mice, as well as three other pests: sparrows, flies and mosquitoes. We then began to carry out publicity, dedicating our efforts to eliminating these three pests this summer.

He Yushui said: "Rats are disgusting. Catching sparrows is better."

"Yes, but sparrows can fly, so it's not easy to catch them. Flies and mosquitoes also have viruses on them, so we still have to be careful."

These pests carry viruses, but after long-term publicity, this fact has become deeply rooted in people's minds.

First in Fushun, and later in other areas, insects carrying viruses and bacteria were spread. This was the first time that my country had a taste of biological weapons.

Before this, the Chu State had used this weapon on the battlefield on the peninsula, causing many people to be infected with various viruses.

In March, the Epidemic Prevention Committee was established and later renamed the Patriotic Health Campaign Committee. The Patriotic Health Campaign was launched whose main task was to fight against germs.

At that time, all localities were required to do a good job in eliminating flies, mosquitoes, fleas, rats, and other disease-carrying insects.

A centralized cleanup and rectification campaign had already been carried out at that time, with all residents cleaning the streets and alleys in front of and behind their houses, making them spotless.

, use quicklime to sterilize, paint the walls, pad the toilets, wipe the doors, and plaster the beams, change the sewage ditches into canals, and cover the toilet openings with wooden boards to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes and flies.

Now, after a few years, pest control work has been launched again, and now pest control is also an important part of the patriotic health campaign.

Although pests have not been completely eradicated, the sanitary conditions of ordinary people have been greatly improved.

Although it is generally good, there are still many complaints about pest control. The main reason is the wrong attitude towards sparrows.

However, history shows that the occurrence of such mistakes cannot be blamed on any one person, but rather it is a process of cognition of the problem.

Although He Yuzhu knew that the sparrows were wrongly accused, his words were not important and it would be useless even if he jumped out to oppose. He could only follow the trend of history and participate in the war to eliminate the sparrows.

However, he also knew that the extermination of sparrows only lasted for two years, and then it was discovered that things were not as previously imagined. Without sparrows, there were more pests.

Only then did I deeply realize that although sparrows occasionally eat some food, they are generally beneficial insects that can eliminate pests in the fields.

Then remove sparrows from the four pests and replace them with bedbugs.

The slogan is: "Get rid of rats, bedbugs, flies and mosquitoes."

He Yuzhu said: "Although sparrows are one of the four pests, they are still edible. We can spend money to buy some sparrows later. They will be delicious when stewed."

He Yushui smiled and said, "Brother, why are you so greedy? You want to eat everything."

"Okay, when I make it you don't have to eat it."

"Humph!" He Yushui turned around and complained to He Daqing:

"Dad, look, my brother is bullying me."

He Daqing was about to speak when he heard a noisy voice coming from the front, saying, "What happened again? Go out and take a look."

He Yushui was just acting coquettishly and wasn't really being wronged, so she followed him out of the house.

I could clearly hear voices talking in front, it was quite noisy. I stood at the door and waited for less than two minutes before I saw a group of people coming in. The one walking in the middle was Xu Xiaomei.

This was agreed upon with He Yuzhu before. Xu Xiaomei will return to the Siheyuan tonight to explain things clearly and solve the problem. It is not normal to continue dragging it on like this.

Yi Zhonghai was furious when he saw Xu Xiaomei: "You still remember to come back?"

"Old Yi, please stop talking. This will prevent her from leaving again. It's good enough that she can come back." Yan Bugui advised.

Xu Xiaomei snorted and said, "Do you want me to make everything public?"

It would be too embarrassing if the news of Yi Wendi becoming a eunuch got out, so Yi Zhonghai had asked the Xu family not to talk nonsense. So when Xu Xiaomei said that, Yi Zhonghai felt very aggrieved.

The people who were following behind to watch the fun suddenly had some guesses in their minds. No wonder the younger sister only got married in the hall but did not consummate the marriage with Yi Wendi on the wedding day.

She must have discovered something wrong, which is why she decided to elope.

But no one knew what the question was. Now, in front of Yi Zhonghai, no one was stupid enough to ask, and they just guessed in their hearts.

Yan Bugui was also very curious, but he said: "Uncle Yi, since my little sister is back, don't talk about him. Sit down and talk things out. We still have to live a good life in the future."

Widow Bai was cursing quietly behind them. Although she was very resentful, she didn't want to provoke Xu Xiaomei at this time to avoid causing any bigger trouble.

Yi Wendi was also very nervous, fearing that Xu Xiaomei would suddenly reveal the fact that he was a eunuch in public. If that happened, he would rather die.

Yi Zhonghai was also worried about this, and quickly said, "Little sister, since we have held the wedding, we will all be a family in the future. If there is any problem, it should be solved at home."

After a pause, he remembered something and then said, "You just had a quarrel with the boss. I have already criticized him and he has promised not to do that again. Don't be angry."

Yi Wending also recovered and said, "Yes, little sister, I shouldn't have said that to you. It's all my fault. Don't be angry."

I have been feeling resentful for a long time, but in the current situation I have to appease my younger sister first to stop her from talking nonsense.

I was also thinking about how to teach my younger sister a lesson in the future. I must torture her severely and not let her suffer.

It is very common for a couple to fight, and she will never have a good life.

Seeing that both father and son were so understanding, Xu Xiaomei took the opportunity to come down and said, "Well, let's talk things out."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction. Being able to resolve the issue today was already the best outcome.

Inside the east wing, the people from the Yi and Xu families sat down separately, and Yi Zhonghai was the first to attack:

"You are too outrageous. You ran away on the wedding day?"

Xu Xiaomei had no respect for this father-in-law and said disdainfully:

"Don't you know what your son's situation is?"

"Then you can't just run away without saying anything."

"I have already married your son as agreed. We have been married and entered the bridal chamber. What else do you want me to do?"

"Of course it's the marriage consummation." Yi Zhonghai shouted.
