Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Standing in front of Qin Huairu, Chen Fei began to describe in detail how the chickens were stolen on the day of the move.

He was so busy tidying up his new home that day that he didn't notice that the chickens in the coop were missing.

It was not until the neighbor reminded us in the evening that we realized something was wrong.

His tone was calm, but there was a barely perceptible flash of anger in his eyes.

Listening to this, Qin Huairu showed an embarrassed expression.

This incident is not just about a chicken, but about the trust and respect of the residents of the entire courtyard.

Looking at Chen Fei, she bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, I know this incident has caused you a lot of trouble. I will do my best to get those chickens back and give you a satisfactory answer."

However, things are not that simple.

Qin Huairu's family's reputation was severely damaged because they were accused of eating stolen chickens.

The neighbors looked at them differently, some kept their distance, and some whispered to each other.

Qin Huairu felt unprecedented pressure and had to find the chickens as soon as possible to restore her family's reputation.

When questioned about the source of the chicken, Bang Geng insisted that it was a gift from Chen Fei and denied the act of stealing.

Looking at Banggeng's young face, Qin Huairu felt conflicted.

I want to believe the good joke, but I am also worried that the truth of the matter is not so.

At this moment, Qin Huairu received a mysterious note.

The other party claimed to know the whereabouts of the chickens, but asked Qin Huairu to meet in person at a place.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened, this might be the only chance to get the chicken back.

Deciding to take a chance, he left home in a hurry.

When she arrived at the agreed location, Qin Huairu saw a middle-aged man standing in the shadows.

He told Qin Huairu mysteriously that he had stolen the chickens, but he was willing to return them now, but on the condition that Qin Huairu had to pay a ransom.

She was startled, thinking this might be a trap, but she decided to give it a try.

He took out the only money left in the house and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the money and turned to a corner.

After a while, he came out carrying the familiar chicken coop and handed it to Qin Huairu.

......

I thought Chen Fei would take everyone's feelings into consideration and not pursue the matter of the chicken, but I didn't expect him to bring it up publicly and demand compensation.

Qin Huairu's heart sank. This matter would not be so easily resolved.

She looked at Chen Fei, trying to read his true thoughts from his eyes.

However, Chen Fei's eyes became indifferent, as if to say: "This is the responsibility you should bear."

We must face this reality.

She couldn't let her family bear the blame because of her, nor could she let Fade Chen continue to misunderstand them.

He walked up to Chen Fei, looked him in the eye, and said, "Chen Fei, I'm sorry, I know we did something wrong. I am willing to compensate you for the money you paid for the chicken, and I will also return the cloth coupons I borrowed."

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu would admit her mistake so readily and be willing to compensate.

Fade Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I hope you can solve this problem as soon as possible."

Qin Huairu nodded, knowing that she had to act quickly.

Turn around and leave the crowd.

This road will not be easy, but she believes that as long as she works hard, everything will be fine.

In the following days, Qin Huairu ran around to borrow money, hoping to compensate Chen Fei for his losses as soon as possible.

At the same time, he is also working hard to repair relationships with his family and neighbors, hoping to restore some of his reputation.

In the process, she experienced many hardships and setbacks, but she never gave up her beliefs and determination.

In the end, Qin Huairu successfully compensated Chen Fei for his losses through her own efforts.

She also gradually won the trust and respect of her family and neighbors, who began to accept her again and give her support and help.

Qin Huairu stood in the cool evening breeze, the heaviness in her heart gradually falling like the night.

Her past behavior had brought too many disputes and misunderstandings to the courtyard house. The unreturned borrowed items were like invisible shackles that bound the relationship between her and her neighbors.

Xu Damao's figure looked particularly wretched under the dim street lights, and his eyes became deep, as if he could see through people's hearts.

He walked up to Qin Huairu and said with a hint of teasing, "I heard that you borrowed a lot of things and didn't return them?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head and clenched her hands, knowing that Xu Damao's words were not groundless.

He had indeed borrowed things from many neighbors, including Xu Damao, but had not been able to return them for various reasons.

She felt guilty and helpless, but she also knew that the most important thing now was to resolve the problem as quickly as possible in order to restore some of her reputation.

"I was wrong. I will pay off all my debts as soon as possible." Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Xu Damao with firm eyes.

Xu Damao looked at her. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to face her mistakes so frankly and express her determination to solve the problem.

"Okay, I believe you. But you have to remember that trust takes time to rebuild."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully, she knew the deep meaning behind Xu Damao's words.

Rebuilding trust is not something that happens overnight; it takes time and effort.

As long as she faces and solves problems sincerely, she will one day win everyone's trust and respect.

However, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, poured a bucket of cold water on her at the critical moment.

She had her own private money, but refused to help Qin Huairu repay her debts.

I think Qin Huairu should bear the consequences herself and learn to solve problems independently.

Although Qin Huairu felt disappointed and helpless, she also understood Jia Zhang's intention.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, he scanned the familiar faces one by one, seeking a glimmer of help.

But all she got in response was indifference and avoidance.

An indescribable despair surged in my heart, but I couldn't give up.

Walking towards He Yuzhu, the man with whom she had a grudge.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, do you know why I have always been reluctant to talk to you?"

Qin Huairu lowered her head, knowing that their past was not pleasant.

But she also understood that she needed He Yuzhu's help now.

She raised her head, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "I hope you can give me a chance to prove that I can change."

I didn't expect Qin Huairu to face her past so frankly and express her determination to change.

"Okay, I can lend you the money, but you have to remember that this is your last chance."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully.

This is a rare opportunity.

He promised to pay off his debts as soon as possible and work to repair his relationship with the rest of the quadrangle.

Things did not go as smoothly as Qin Huairu had imagined.

Tried to borrow money from others but failed.

Feeling helpless and hopeless, but not giving up.

A way must be found to solve this problem, and at the critical moment, Qin Huairu made a shocking suggestion.

She is willing to bear a child for He Yuzhu (Silly Zhu) to solve the debt problem.

This proposal suddenly changed the situation, and people in the courtyard began to talk about it.
