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

Old Zhou sighed, "Wang Ming always reports to the police. I'm afraid this will ruin the reputation of our courtyard."

Aunt Hong suddenly paused, "Old Zhou, you've been fooled. Wang Ming is the head of the security department, why do you need to report it to the police? He is just taking advantage of your weakness and deliberately making things difficult for you. Arlene went to his house to do laundry, which is nothing more than an ordinary matter. Reporting it to the police will not have any effect at all."

Old Zhou stared at Aunt Hong in a daze, his eyes full of regret. He realized that there was a well-thought-out plot behind Wang Ming's actions. Indeed, why should we be afraid of reporting to the police? There is no rule that neighbors cannot help each other.

Even if he understood **, what would it matter? He couldn't take the initiative to go to Wang Ming's house to provoke him, otherwise he would suffer again.

"I was so angry. Not only did I get beaten, but Yan Ming also cheated me out of twenty dollars." Old Zhou said gritting his teeth.

Aunt Hong sighed, "Old Zhou, don't be so impulsive when you encounter things involving A-Lin in the future. It would be better to let Xiao Ming come forward, otherwise it will inevitably attract gossip. No one in our courtyard is trustworthy."

After Aunt Hong's analysis, Lao Zhou became even more angry. When he went out, he seemed to see that everyone owed him money. Especially Yan Ming, who was glared at by him so hard that he almost fell off the bicycle.

Some people don't care at all, like the second uncle in the backyard - Liu Haizhong (changed his name to Liu Haizheng).

The incidents in the front and back yards were usually small-scale and ended quickly. When Liu Haizhong learned about the situation, it was already over. He deeply regretted not being able to

The next day, Lou Xiao'e went to the hospital for a checkup as arranged by her father. The results came out quickly: she was healthy and could have children. Lou Xiao'e and her father were relieved when they heard the news, but their faces were still filled with inexplicable bitterness. If she had done a thorough checkup before marriage, Xu Damao would not have known the family secrets.

This decision was not told to my mother. My mother had a close relationship with Xu Damao's mother, so it would be difficult for her not to leak the secret. Once Xu Damao knew the truth, the consequences would be unpredictable.

When the mother saw the two of them coming back, she asked in confusion, "Where have you been?"

Lou Xiao'e and her father looked at each other and explained, "Mom, we went to visit a friend of Dad's. Don't ask any more questions. We haven't eaten yet. Please prepare something for us."

The mother walked into the kitchen helplessly.

Father took Lou Xiao'e back to the study and said gently, "Xiao'e, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Dad, you don't have to say that. Who could have thought things would turn out like this. Let's start preparing as I said before. And you have to be careful with your brother and sister."

Her father understood what she meant. Her sister was in a similar situation and had two children, but the children were no guarantee that they would not attack the Lou family.

"Don't worry, I will deal with it as soon as possible. Your suggestion is right. I was born with talents that will be useful. Even if I spend all my money, I will get it back. The Lou family's current assets can be earned back in the future. Instead of leaving these assets as evidence of our crimes and letting others use them to destroy our family, it is better to donate them to the country to help those in need."

Lou Xiao'e nodded in agreement: "Dad, if you plan to donate money, can you donate some to our street? It doesn't have to be too much, just enough to take care of the lonely elderly people on the street. When I was helping out at the street office, I found that many people were living very hard. There was an old lady in her sixties with a ten-year-old girl, who barely made ends meet with the help of their neighbors. They haven't eaten white flour buns for three years, and can only eat wowotou every day."

The father replied casually, "These are all small matters. You stay home for now, and I can discuss anything with you."

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "Dad, no need. I can't divorce Xu Damao for the time being. If I stay at home for a long time, he might ask his mother to come over, and then the family secrets can't be concealed."

My father smiled and said, "You worry too much. The Xu family doesn't know much about us. The family's property is hidden somewhere else. Even you don't know where those things are, let alone Xu Damao."

"Dad, can you guarantee that no one in the family will let anything slip? Xu Damao's parents have worked in our family for many years and know your people. After Xu Damao and I get married, they may be more likely to treat us as a family. What if someone accidentally lets something slip?"

My father's expression changed: "Xiao'e, how could you think of this?"

Lou Xiao'e explained: "I heard this from Wang Kun. He has encountered many examples on the battlefield where small omissions led to huge consequences. We must be careful and vigilant."

The father was a veteran in the business world. In that chaotic era, it was not easy for him to maintain the Lou family's business until now. He knew what his daughter said. But when he thought about the age issue, he sometimes had a fluke mentality.

The promise to leave

"Xiaohua, don't worry. I will deal with the housework as soon as possible and try to move as soon as possible." Father Lou comforted his daughter.

Lou Hua smiled. Although she was reluctant to leave her hometown, she knew that this was the only way for her family to be safe. She felt relieved. She trusted Chen Yong. After all, he said it wouldn't take too long to complete the migration. However, she didn't know that the time Chen Yong was talking about was ten years later.

In order to prevent his mother from revealing the plan, Lou Hua and his father decided to keep it secret for the time being. Lou Hua chose to stay at home for two more days to help his father deal with some trivial matters.

In the compound, guard Xiao Lin was reporting the results of the recent investigation. ** All the details of what happened in the capital were consistent with what Xiao Lin had witnessed.

The elder surnamed Li nodded and said, "So it was him."

Xiao Lin added: "Yes, it was him. That girl is Captain Li's daughter. You also helped approve her migration procedures."

Auntie Tian smiled and said, "I was wondering whose child is so stubborn. He really deserves to be a soldier under your command."

Elder Li said dissatisfiedly, "How can this be called stubbornness? Those ** are just making trouble for no reason. If it were me, I would just shoot them with a gun. ** is right, those people living in the courtyard are just a bunch of villains. I have been fighting the rich and helping the poor all my life, but they are actually doing the opposite. By the way, have you found the lost money?"

Xiao Lin shook his head: "Chief, the police believe that the money was never actually lost, so they did not file a case."

"Humph, the subdistrict office and the police station are just idlers. If they were my troops, I would have killed them long ago."

Auntie Tian reminded him, "Old Li, don't be impulsive. The street and police departments have their own difficulties. We can't just arrest and shoot them!"

Chief Li sighed and did not respond. He also understood that things in reality could not be solved entirely by the military.
