Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Shuilin remained silent as if she hadn't heard what Xu Dajun said. Her brother Handun didn't see all this clearly, but as a sister, she had already seen through it.

She had tried to persuade Han Dun not to be deceived again, but because of this, their relationship became very strained. Han Dun would rather believe the words of outsiders than listen to the advice of his own sister. Now, Shui Lin has completely given up on him.

Li Li recalled what the deaf old lady had done and realized that what Xu Dajun said was true. Maybe the old lady was very nice to Han Dun on the surface, but in fact, she took much more than she gave. Yi Zhonghai, who was behind the deaf old lady, had a close connection with the Qin family. Such a heavy burden had to be placed on Han Dun.

In order to prevent Han Dun from escaping, they even did not allow him to get married.

Li Li continued, "Shuilin, all your brother's money was taken away by the Qin family. Qin Huairu said it was lost, but no one knows whether it is true or not."

Shui Lin said indifferently: "What difference does it make whether it's true or not? Anyway, I never had any hope for that money. I'm working now and I can support myself."

Xu Dajun was a little unhappy. "You are wrong to think like that. If it were me, I would never let them have their way. I have an idea for you. Go to Baoding to find your father and let him teach Han Dun a lesson."

Baoding?

Zhao Gang suddenly remembered the records of sending and receiving letters he had seen when he sent them. Most of the letters in this courtyard were sent from Baoding.

However, the recipient of the letter was Yi Zhonghai.

Shui Lin said angrily: "Don't mention that bastard in front of me."

Judging from Shuilin's expression, she obviously harbored deep resentment towards that father. Could it be that Mr. He abandoned his family for a widow?

Zhao Gang asked, "By the way, is Yi Zhonghai's hometown Baoding?"

Xu Dajun shook his head. "No. He seems to have drifted here from the Northeast. As for Baoding, I only know that it has nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai. Why are you so concerned about this issue?"

Zhao Gang did not answer directly, as he did not want to complicate matters. Who knows what was written in the letters sent from Baoding?

"I'm just a little curious. Come on, Xu Dajun, let's have a toast."

Now that there was wine to drink, Xu Dajun didn't care about so much. He had been avoiding Li Li and always found various reasons to get drunk at night.

Shuilin and Lili also clinked their glasses. Soon, Xu Dajun was drunk.

Seeing this, Shui Lin said, "I'm full too, why don't we just go our separate ways! Zhao Gang, Sister Lili, thank you for treating me to dinner, I'll treat you back another day."

Shuilin did not leave immediately, but cleaned the table with Li Li. At this time, most of the residents in the courtyard had fallen asleep, so the two simply soaked the dishes in a basin of water.

Zhao Gang specially made a pot of tea and prepared to ask Shuilin if she knew about the letter from Baoding.

Shui Lin wiped her hands and said, "Sister Lili, Zhao Gang, it's getting late. I'll go back first."

Zhao Gang stopped her and said, "Shuilin, I have something to ask you. When I went to the post office to mail a letter, I found many letters from Baoding. Did you really not receive any?"

Whether the letter from Baoding was related to Li Wenqing or not, Zhao Gang had already said it. Zhao Gang had no control over the specific choice.

Shui Lin was stunned. "It couldn't have been written by Li Wenqing. When my brother and I went to Baoding to see him, he didn't show up. How could he have written to us? Even if he did, it wouldn't have been to Yi Zhonghai."

Although she said this, there was still a hint of expectation in Shuilin's eyes.

Zhao Gang nodded. "Maybe it was written by Yi Zhonghai's friend. You should go back. Xu Dajun is drunk again tonight. Stay at my house to avoid disturbing others."

Zhao Gang had not expected that Yi Zhonghai had already put so much effort into Shuilin and her brother so early, using such despicable means. Those letters from Baoding were obviously problematic, as Shuilin said, if Li Wenqing wanted to contact them, he could write directly, why go through someone else.

While eating in the morning, Xu Dajun was still talking about Shuilin, "This little girl can drink quite well."

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "I have to work the night shift tonight and won't be back for dinner. Sister Lili, please take care of Xuemei."

Xuemei raised her head and said,

The autumn wind blew through the ancient alleys. Li Wanjing slowly pushed her bicycle through an old gate and stepped into a quiet courtyard. She happened to run into Aunt Zhang. Li Wanjing stopped the bicycle and asked softly, "Auntie, please tell me where Zhou Yuchen lives?"

A trace of doubt flashed across Aunt Zhang's eyes, and she looked Li Wanjing up and down: "Little girl, what are you doing...?"

"I'm Xiaoming's class teacher. I came here for a home visit today." Li Wanjing replied with a smile.

Aunt Zhang nodded slightly and pointed to the middle of the courtyard: "Go forward and see the woman washing clothes by the pool. That's Xiaoming's mother. If she's in the house, it's the one on the left."

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang hurried back to the house. Li Wanjing felt a little strange, but she continued to move forward. As soon as she entered the middle courtyard, she saw Zhou Yuchen washing clothes by the pool. The sound of the bicycle caught her attention, and Zhou Yuchen raised her head.

"Hello, Teacher Li, why did you come here in person?" She obviously had not expected this scene and her tone was a little flustered.

Li Wanjing smiled and said, "Mother Zhou Yuchen, I'm here for a home visit."

"Teacher Li, our Xiaoming has always been a good boy. How is his performance in school?" Zhou Yuchen asked hurriedly.

This made Li Wanjing feel awkward. As a novice teacher, how could she tactfully point out the fact that Xiaoming's academic performance was not good? She cleared her throat and tried to find a balance: "Indeed, every parent would think that their child is a good child. However, Xiaoming's performance in school needs to be improved. He has difficulty concentrating in class, often procrastinates on his homework, and sometimes even skips classes."

Zhou Yuchen immediately burst into tears: "Teacher Li, my family is from the countryside. His father passed away. I really don't know how to educate him by myself. Please take care of our Xiaoming. This is the hope of our whole family."

Li Wanjing felt very sorry: "Mother Zhou, we understand your family's situation. We will do our best to help Xiaoming. But family support is also very important. Xiaoming once skipped school on the pretext that you were injured and needed care. We certainly appreciate this filial piety, but we also need to guide him to better arrange his time."

Zhou Yuchen felt even more sad after hearing this, and could hardly hold himself back. "Teacher Li, I remember what you just said. From now on, we must supervise him well."

Seeing her sincere attitude, Li Wanjing felt much more relaxed: "Mother Zhou, I actually have another thing to remind you. Xiaoming has not paid the tuition for this semester."
