Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

When they came back, there was nothing in the car, so Qin Huairu drove faster and finally got home before dark.

As soon as I walked into the central courtyard, I met Yi Zhonghai.

"Huai Ru, where are you taking Xiao Dang?"

In the morning, I heard that Qin Huairu took Xiaodang out on Li Jianjun's bike, and there were a lot of things in the back seat, so Yi Zhonghai asked about it.

Qin Huairu didn't want to pay attention to Yi Zhonghai and pretended not to see it, but she felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I took Xiaodang back to my mother's house today."

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to say something to Qin Huairu and improve their relationship. After all, he was unwilling to give up Qin Huairu.

But Qin Huairu didn't give him a chance and just walked past him.

"Uncle, I'm tired today, and Xiaodang has been crazy all day, so I'll go back first."

Looking at Qin Huairu who entered the backyard, Yi Zhonghai became more and more angry. His plan was originally going well, but it was all Li Jianjun's fault. He simply decided not to go out and went back home to get the wine.

Li Jianjun's home.

"Sister-in-law, how is your family? Is everything okay?"

Li Jianjun asked while holding Xiaodang.

"Jianjun, thank you. I will pay you back slowly no matter how much those things cost."

Han Chunyan spoke first.

"Huai Ru, let's not talk about this for now. Is everything fine at home?"

Qin Huairu felt relieved now as the heavy stone in her heart was put down.

"It's okay, my family is doing well. I've already said that I'll go back again during the Chinese New Year, and I'll borrow a bicycle from my sister then."

Li Jianjun doesn't care.

"Let's ride. We rode motorcycles to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year. By the way, let's eat here so late. We can't do anything if we go back now."

Qin Huairu was no longer reserved and she was planning to give her life to the Li family.

Yi Zhonghai drank two glasses of wine and felt that it was boring, so he went to find Sha Zhu again. However, Sha Zhu had gone to see Bang Geng today and was a little tired, so he went to bed early.

Yi Zhonghai feels lonely now. Everyone respected him before. Dongxu was filial and good, Qin Huairu also respected him when speaking to him, and Shazhu followed his lead. Together with the old lady, they made a big family, and it was lively and bustling. Why did it become like this now?

It’s all Li Jianjun’s fault. Everything has changed since he came. Yi Zhonghai is getting angrier and angrier and plans to go find the old lady to complain to. Now, he’s afraid that the old lady is the only one who can listen to him.

Came to the old lady's house.

It was cold, so the old lady went to bed early. Yi Zhonghai sat in front of her bed.

"Old lady, our courtyard has changed since Li Jianjun came. Dongxu died, Zhuzi was seriously injured and lost his ability, Qin Huairu was out of control, and even Banggeng was put in jail."

"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui didn't dare to challenge us before, but now they are on Li Jianjun's side."

"Your prestige has dropped. People in the courtyard no longer take me seriously. No one in the courtyard respects you anymore."

"Old lady, do you think we should live like this?"

The deaf old lady also frowned.

"Yes, everything has changed. It is no longer the Siheyuan under our control. Zhuzi only has Banggeng in his heart now. It has been a long time since he cooked for me. If it weren't for you and your wife, I would have starved to death."

"Old lady, is there no way to drive Li Jianjun out? I think as long as Li Jianjun is not here, we will soon regain control of the courtyard, and no one will dare to challenge us anymore."

The deaf old lady's eyes gradually became more sinister.

"Zhonghai, the previous methods are useless. The factory can't be relied upon. We can't get rid of it."

Yi Zhonghai was a little disappointed.

"Alas, old lady, I don't want to go on like this anymore. I'll go back and use my connections to see if I can move to a new courtyard house."

The deaf old lady looked up at Yi Zhonghai with her eyes full of disbelief. Yi Zhonghai didn't want to move to another courtyard house. He was forcing the deaf old lady to deal with Li Jianjun. Given Sha Zhu's current condition, it was impossible for him to take care of the deaf old lady. She had to rely on an aunt. If he left, the deaf old lady would be waiting to die.

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhong Hai, you don't have to force me. I never intended to let Li Jianjun go."

"I mean it's impossible to get him away. Since he doesn't want to leave, it's not my fault."

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand at first, but suddenly he thought of something and asked in a low voice.

"Old lady, what do you mean?" He made a throat-cutting gesture.

The deaf old lady nodded.

"I've been thinking about this for a while. Listen to me."

"I'll find someone to deal with Li Jianjun, and then I'll give you something. You can secretly put it in Li Jianjun's house. We can do it on two fronts."

Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Ma'am, what is that?"

"Zhong Hai, you know I used to be a rich lady, with some wealth. I will give you some gold, silver and jewelry, and you can find someone to write a letter to an enemy spy, and then put it in Li Jianjun's house, and then report him. We can work together, and Li Jianjun will die. There will be physical evidence at home, and then we can say that they didn't share the spoils equally, and we won't be blamed that way."

"Once it is confirmed, Han Chunyan will definitely not be able to escape, including those who are close to Li Jianjun. Not only in the courtyard, but also Li Huaide will not be able to escape. Director Yang will regain power, and we will be considered heroes."

"And Qin Huairu will be back under your control again by then."

Yi Zhonghai was shocked. This was too cruel. He just wanted to get rid of Li Jianjun and didn't want to kill him. But there was nothing he could do.

"Old lady, should we tell Zhuzi about this?"

The deaf old lady shook her head.

"I can't tell him. He is impulsive by nature. I'm afraid something might happen. Besides, he doesn't have the courage. It's better not to involve him."

All the excuses about not having the courage to act are just excuses. He just doesn't want Sha Zhu to take risks, but Yi Zhonghai is also afraid.

"Don't think too much. You must go there in person. I trust others, especially Jia Zhang. You know how greedy she is. Also, you can find someone far away to write the letter. I'll take care of the rest. Do you understand?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded reluctantly.

"I understand, but ma'am, what if, what if something goes wrong? It's a matter of life and death."

The deaf old lady comforted her.

"Zhong Hai, don't worry. The man I'm looking for used to be the son of one of our servants. I've done him a great favor, and it's time for him to repay it. Even if he fails, he won't betray me."

“Even if we fail, he can’t explain the things and letters in Li Jianjun’s house, and we can still get him in.”

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized that even if he couldn't kill him, he would be in big trouble.

"Madam, when are we going to start?"

The deaf old lady thought about it.

"After the Chinese New Year, when I go back to work, there are many people around during the Chinese New Year, but when I go back to work, there will be fewer people around, so it will be easier to do it."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

"Okay, let Li Jianjun spend his last New Year together."

Yi Zhonghai returned home feeling both fear and anticipation.

The aunt also knew that Yi Zhonghai was in a bad mood at this time.

"Old man, what do you think we should do? Zhuzi's mind is on Banggeng now, and he probably won't care about us. It's all my fault. If I had given you a child, this wouldn't have happened."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand impatiently.

"You're already so old, why are you still talking about this? Things will get better in the future."

The aunt just thought that Yi Zhonghai was comforting her and wiped her tears quietly.
