Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Although I was afraid, I knew that with Xu Damao around, everything would be fine.

She gently held Xu Damao's hand, as if telling him: I'm not afraid as long as you are here.

Xu Damao felt Qin Jingru's trust and dependence, and turned to Aunt Zhang and said, "Aunt, don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. Besides, the matter at the Siheyuan has not been settled yet, and we don't want to go back for the time being."

Aunt Zhang nodded to show her understanding.

She looked at Qin Jingru's bulging belly and said, "Jingru's belly is getting bigger too. There are too many people in the courtyard, and it's really not suitable for raising a baby. You can just stay here with peace of mind. Although my place is simple, it's quiet."

"I, Xu Damao, will always remember your great kindness. If I can succeed in the future, I will repay you with gratitude."

"That's too much. I'm just trying my best to help you. You should take good care of your pregnancy, and make plans after the storm has passed."

In this way, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru settled down temporarily under the protection of Aunt Zhang.

Although life was hard, the two of them depended on each other and lived a peaceful and warm life.

However, the turmoil in the outside world did not subside.

The public security department has begun to fully investigate the illegal transactions and escape cases involving Xu Damao.

First, we came to the courtyard and asked the residents about Xu Damao's situation.

The residents of the courtyard did not have a good impression of Xu Damao and reported his bad behavior to the police.

Some people said that he was selfish, some said that he loved to take advantage of others, and some pointed out that he had stolen property in the courtyard many times.

The police recorded all these circumstances and began to investigate Xu Damao's past.

They contacted the steel rolling mill where Xu Damao used to work and learned that he had resigned and that his behavior was abnormal when he last returned to the factory, which seemed to be related to stealing films.

This information made the police more certain that the case in which Xu Damao was suspected was not groundless.

They decided to step up their efforts to bring Xu Damao to justice as soon as possible.

At this time, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were still hiding in Aunt Zhang's hut, unaware of what was happening.

They live cautiously every day, fearing that they will be discovered.

Qin Jingru's belly grew bigger day by day, and she began to worry about the unborn baby.

"Da Mao, can we really escape?" Qin Jingru asked worriedly.

"Jingru, believe me. I will protect you and the child. As long as we are careful, we will be able to get through this difficult time."

In Aunt Zhang's little house, the two of them were like frightened birds, living in fear every day.

The noise and danger of the outside world seemed to be able to break through this peaceful barrier at any time and drag them into it.

One day, Aunt Zhang hurried home with a worried look on her face.

"Da Mao, Jingru, it's bad, the police have started a city-wide search for you." Aunt Zhang said, panting.

Xu Damao's heart sank suddenly. After all, he could not escape the punishment of the law.

But he couldn't just give up like that, he still had Qin Jingru and their unborn child to protect.

"Auntie, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to get out and solve some problems." Xu Damao said firmly.

Aunt Zhang looked at him with a trace of worry in her eyes: "It's too dangerous to go out now. Why don't you hide here for a while and wait until the storm has passed."

"Auntie, I know you are worried about me. But there are things I have to face. I can't let Jingru and the child be implicated because of me."

"Da Mao, you have to be careful."

Xu Damao nodded, turned and left the hut.

This trip was likely to be dangerous, but he was prepared.

At this time, the courtyard was in turmoil because of Xu Damao's affairs.

Bang Geng's condition became increasingly serious and he needed surgery urgently, but because Xu Damao escaped, the money for the surgery could not be raised.

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious as she had to take care of her sick son while worrying about the cost of surgery.

Sha Zhu felt very sorry when he saw Qin Huairu's haggard appearance.

I decided to ask Chen Fei for help to see if I could find out the whereabouts of Xu Damao and maybe get some money for the surgery from him.

Chen Fei is Sha Zhu's good friend and also a man of extraordinary powers.

He agreed to Sha Zhu's request and began to investigate Xu Damao's whereabouts.

At this time, Xu Damao has already embarked on a road full of unknowns and dangers.

At this moment, Fade Chen was standing in front of him.

"Shazhu, I know you are a loyal person, but you also know that it is easy for me to lend money but difficult to get it back." Chen Fei frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Hearing this, Sha Zhu showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

He understood Chen Fei's concerns, but he was unwilling to give up this possible opportunity.

"I know this request is a bit excessive. But Qin Huairu is a woman with a child, and she is really desperate now. Just think of it as helping me and also helping them and their child." Sha Zhu pleaded in a low voice.

Chen Fei looked at Sha Zhu and thought that Sha Zhu was a good person, but his nature as a businessman forced him to act cautiously.

"Let me find out the situation first and see if I can find Xu Damao's whereabouts. If I can find him, maybe I can get some money for the surgery from him. But the premise is that we must make sure that the money can be recovered." Chen Fei said after thinking for a moment.

When Sha Zhu heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Chen Fei was giving him a chance and also giving Qin Huairu and her son hope.

At this time in the hospital, Qin Huairu was anxiously waiting for news from the doctor.

Bang Geng's condition could no longer be delayed, but the money for surgery had not yet been raised.

I feel like I have failed as a mother.

The doctor couldn't help feeling sympathy when he saw Qin Huairu's anxious look.

I understand Qin Huairu's difficulties, but I can't change the hospital's rules.

"Don't worry. I know you're in a difficult situation right now, but the hospital has its own rules. You can pay some medical expenses first, so that we can at least maintain the basic treatment for your disease. We will slowly find a way to pay for the surgery." The doctor explained patiently.

Qin Huairu stood in the hospital corridor, her heart broken.

Banggeng's pale little face and weak breathing echoed in her ears, and every breath was like a knife cutting through her heart.

She took a deep breath and decided to go find Chen Fei.

This may be the only way.

Qin Huairu came to Chen Fei's office. There were several men in suits standing at the door. They all looked like Chen Fei's partners.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to go in.

Chen Fei was on the phone. When he saw her come in, he frowned slightly and motioned for her to wait a moment.

Finally, Fade Chen finished the call and looked at Qin Huairu: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to ask you for a favor. Bang Geng's condition is getting worse and worse, and he needs surgery immediately. But the cost of the surgery... we really can't raise the money."

"You know my rules. It's easy for me to lend money, but it's hard to get it back."

Qin Huairu's tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back: "I know, but I really have no other choice. Banggeng is my lifeblood, I can't just watch him leave me like this."

Just then, the hospital called and said Banggeng had woken up.

Qin Huairu and Chen Fei were both stunned for a moment, and then Qin Huairu showed a look of joy on her face: "He's awake, Bang Geng is awake!"

Seeing Qin Huairu's happy expression, the hardness in Chen Fei's heart softened a little.

He sighed and said, "You should go see the child first. We will find a way to pay for the surgery later."

Qin Huairu looked at Chen Fei gratefully, thanked him repeatedly, and hurriedly left the office.
