Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Late at night in the courtyard, everything was silent, only Sha Zhu's room was brightly lit.

He sat at the table, his eyes fixed on the letter in his hand, his heart surging with emotion.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the window of Qin Jingru's residence.

Under the dim light, the figures of mother and son were looming.

Sha Zhu decided to find out.

He quietly walked out of the room, passed through the dark corridor, and came to Qin Jingru's door.

Through the crack in the door, he saw Qin Jingru sitting by the bed holding the child. The child's face looked particularly pretty under the light.

Sha Zhu's heart trembled suddenly, as if he saw Chen Fei's shadow.

The child's eyebrows, that expression, were so similar to Fade Chen!

I was suddenly very excited, and the doubts in my heart burned like a lit torch.

He turned back to the room, sat at the table, and began to write furiously.

Tell Qin Huairu about this amazing discovery and let everyone know the truth!

Soon, Qin Huairu appeared in front of Sha Zhu's door.

Looking at Sha Zhu's excited face, she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping so late?" Qin Huairu asked softly.

"I'll tell you a secret. I found out that Qin Jingru's child looks like Chen Fei!"

Qin Huairu was stunned, then asked in shock: "What? How is this possible?"

Sha Zhu told Qin Huairu everything he had seen and heard, and Qin Huairu was stunned.

I remembered the whispers in the courtyard and the speculations about the child's biological father.

"This...how is this possible?" Qin Huairu murmured to herself, as if thinking about the consequences of this amazing discovery.

"No matter what, we have to find out the truth. We can't let Qin Jingru bear all the pain alone."

The courtyard late at night seems to be shrouded in a mysterious veil.

The moonlight shines down, casting a silvery-white light on the bricks and tiles in the courtyard, but this cold light cannot penetrate those deeply hidden secrets.

The courtyard late at night seemed to have become the biggest mystery in the world, and everyone was trying to uncover the fog that shrouded Qin Jingru and her son.

Sha Zhu's doubts were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The next morning, the atmosphere in the courtyard was unusually solemn.

Sha Zhu got up early and seemed ready to face everything.

He walked through the dark corridor, came to Qin Huairu's door, and knocked a few times.

Qin Huairu opened the door and saw Sha Zhu, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Have you really decided?" Qin Huairu asked softly.

"I can't let Qin Jingru bear all the pain alone. I want to find out the truth and give everyone an explanation."

The two of them came to Qin Jingru's residence together, and the knock on the door seemed particularly loud in the silence of the early morning.

Qin Jingru opened the door and saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"What... happened to you?" Qin Jingru asked.

Sha Zhu looked her straight in the eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "We need to talk."

Qin Jingru's face turned pale in an instant, as if she had a premonition of something.

The three of them sat on the edge of the bed, and Sha Zhu went straight to the point and told them his findings.

"That's right. The father of the child is indeed Fade Chen."

When these words were spoken, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu were both shocked.

I didn't expect Qin Jingru to admit it so frankly.

Qin Jingru continued, "The reason why I let the child take my surname is because I don't want him to be influenced by Chen Fei. I know what kind of person Chen Fei is, and I don't want the child to follow his old path."

Sha Zhu looked at her, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated. He understood Qin Jingru's painstaking efforts and also understood why she had been hiding the truth.

In the morning mist, the stone bricks in the courtyard seemed to be covered with dew, quiet and mysterious.

In front of Qin Jingru's door, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu stood with doubts and worries intertwined in their hearts.

The moment she opened the door, panic flashed across her eyes for a moment, but was quickly replaced by determination.

Sitting by the bed, holding the child's hands tightly, as if conveying some kind of power.

Sha Zhu took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to ask: "Are you really determined to let the child follow Chen Fei?"

Qin Jingru shook her head slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "No, I won't let him follow Chen Fei's old path. I want to raise him independently and give him a bright future."

Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

I didn't expect Qin Jingru to refuse Chen Fei's help so resolutely.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door and Fade Chen appeared in their sight.

There was a complex expression on his face, a mixture of guilt and anticipation.

"I am willing to take responsibility and give the child a complete home." Chen Fei's voice was low and firm.

Qin Jingru shook her head: "Fade Chen, you understand my decision. I will raise this child myself."

Chen Fei was stunned, as if he didn't expect Qin Jingru to be so decisive.

After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded: "Okay, I respect your decision. But I will do my best to help you and your son."

Qin Jingru looked at Chen Fei with gratitude, but she knew that she had to rely on her own strength to raise the child.

Let the child know that even without his father's company, she can still give him enough love and care.

From then on, Qin Jingru's life became more difficult, but she never complained.

Work hard and live frugally just to give children a better life.

Chen Fei also silently supported them behind the scenes, often sending them some clothes and daily necessities.

In the early morning of the courtyard, a ray of sunlight shone on Sha Zhu's face. He sat on the doorstep with a frown on his face and a turbulent heart.

Everything here was like a huge rock pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

We can't just sit back and do nothing. This secret is like a time bomb that may explode at any time and completely destroy the peace in the courtyard.

But he was also worried that once the truth came out, it would cause greater harm to Qin Jingru.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Xu Damao was in a very miserable state and appeared in front of Sha Zhu with a haggard face.

"I heard..." Xu Damao's voice trembled, and he seemed to be unable to speak.

Sha Zhu looked up and looked at Xu Damao, and couldn't help feeling a bit of sympathy in his heart.

Xu Damao suffered a lot in prison, and his longing for Qin Jingru and his children was as hot as fire.

"Yes, the child...is Chen Fei's." Sha Zhu took a deep breath and said this shocking fact.

Xu Damao's face turned pale in an instant, and he staggered back a few steps, seemingly unable to accept this cruel reality.

"This...how is this possible?" Xu Damao muttered to himself, his eyes full of despair.

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into Xu Damao's heart.

But this is the only way to make Xu Damao sober.

Xu Damao was silent for a long time, then raised his head.
