Siheyuan: I just want to live

When night fell and the lights came on, Jin Ling returned home after a busy day at work. She was surprised to find that there seemed to be fewer items in the house than usual.

This abnormality made her feel puzzled, but for some reason, she did not ask her husband Chen Feng immediately.

Time passed quietly, the night gradually deepened, and the children fell into sweet dreams.

At this moment, Jin Ling finally couldn't hold back her curiosity. She gently woke up Chen Feng who was sleeping beside her and asked in a low voice, "Husband, why are there so many things missing from our house all of a sudden?"

Chen Feng, who was awakened by his wife, quickly woke up from his sleepy eyes. He answered without hesitation: "I put them all away!"

Jin Ling was even more confused after hearing this, and asked, "They've all been put away? But why?"

She really couldn't understand why Chen Feng would do such a thing.

Faced with his wife's barrage of questions, Chen Feng was speechless for a moment. He knew very well that he could not tell Jin Ling exactly what he knew in the future, as that would only make things more complicated and difficult to understand.

So, after thinking for a while, he responded: "Well... I'd better not tell you about this for now. Anyway, you will understand it in the future! I have my reasons for putting those things away!"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng's response, she understood and stopped asking further questions.

Seeing that Jin Ling stopped asking questions, Chen Feng continued, "Well...by the way! Keep this little red book. Remember to read it more often in your spare time."

"And these badges, you have to wear them on your chest when you go to work tomorrow. Here is another one, give it to Jin Ming tomorrow and let him wear it too!"

As Chen Feng spoke, he took something out from under the pillow and handed it to Jin Ling.

When Jin Ling saw the item Chen Feng handed over, she didn't hesitate at all and quickly reached out to catch it. Then she said, "Okay, husband, I understand!"

Seeing that Jin Ling agreed readily, Chen Feng said no more, turned around and crawled into the warm bed, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Jin Ling got up early and handed a copy of the little red book and the badge to Jin Ming.

After Jin Ming took it, he also did not say much. He pinned the badge on his chest, then held the Little Red Book in his hand and hurried to school.

After seeing him leave, Jin Ling took her two children and went to work, leaving Chen Feng alone at home to sleep in.

Although Chen Feng's home was peaceful, the streets outside were increasingly in chaos. Out of concern for Jin Ling's safety, Chen Feng, who always loved to sleep in, actually gave up this habit.

Every morning, Chen Feng would accompany Jin Ling to work; and at noon, he insisted that they stay at the company to eat. After all, the company cafeteria also prepared lunch for Jin Ling and Chen Feng, but the two had never eaten in the cafeteria before.

When night falls, Chen Feng will go to greet the three of them when they get home from get off work. As for Jin Ming, as a man, he will not encounter any accidents!

Time passed slowly like this. Although the streets and alleys were in a mess, this courtyard house still maintained its former tranquility and peace, as if it was isolated from the world and there was no change at all.

Time flies, and finally the day that changed the situation came. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui colluded secretly and used tricks to successfully squeeze Yi Zhonghai out of the respected position of the eldest uncle.

From then on, the power structure of the Siheyuan courtyard underwent a drastic change. Liu Haizhong became the new head of the family, and Yan Fugui was promoted to the second uncle.

When Chen Feng returned home exhausted, he was stunned when he heard the shocking news.

He really didn't expect that even though Xu Damao was already behind bars, Liu Haizhong was still able to use some means to bring Yi Zhonghai down.

However, when I think about it carefully, I feel that this matter does not seem that simple.

Perhaps, Yi Zhonghai realized that the current external situation is chaotic and complicated, so he chose to wisely adopt a strategy of retreat in order to advance, quietly hiding behind the scenes, and waiting for further developments in the situation.

For Chen Feng, this series of events had almost nothing to do with him.

He didn't care who would serve as the boss in the hospital. The only thing he cared about was that no one would provoke him for no reason.

After all, he just wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to get involved in the childish power struggle in this courtyard.

Chen Feng had a good idea, but there was someone who was blind, and that blind person was Sha Zhu.

It was a sunny day, but it was a quiet and special weekend for Chen Feng's family. Due to the recent chaos on the streets, no one went out for safety reasons, and everyone stayed at home peacefully.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the house. Jiang Xiaolong rushed into Chen Feng's house in a panic, breathing heavily, obviously having just experienced an intense run;

She anxiously shouted to Chen Feng, "Uncle Chen! It's bad! I just saw Sha Zhu leading a group of Red Guards at the alley entrance, coming towards us aggressively! Take Auntie and find a place to hide!"

Chen Feng was very surprised and confused when he heard what Xiaolong said. He frowned and asked Xiaolong suspiciously, "Let them come if they want. Why should we hide from them? Can they do anything to me?"

After saying that, Chen Feng thought to himself, I have always been kind to others, never made enemies with anyone, and never offended those small soldiers and generals? I really can't think of any reason to avoid these people.

As for Shazhu, he is just a minor character and not worth mentioning at all.

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Jiang Xiaolong realized as if he had just woken up from a dream that his previous expression was not clear and he quickly added.

"Just now, I overheard those people talking about how Auntie and Jin Ming were from landlord families, and they were planning to forcibly take them away to be criticized and struggled against. And Sha Zhu was leading them!"

At this point, Jiang Xiaolong couldn't help but show anxiety on his face. He continued to persuade earnestly: "So, Uncle Chen, you should take Aunt and the others out to hide for a while as soon as possible! To avoid suffering from unexpected disasters."

When Chen Feng heard this, his heart sank suddenly and the expression on his face became more solemn.

Then he quickly turned his head and stared at Jin Ling beside him, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from her to confirm whether what Xiaolong said was true.

However, when Chen Feng saw Jin Ling's slightly pale and bloodless face, he instantly understood everything - there was no need to ask, the facts before him had already shown that everything Xiaolong said was true.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, trying to keep himself calm, then slowly turned his head and spoke to Jiang Xiaolong in a firm tone.

"Okay, Xiaolong, I understand. Go home soon! Leave the things here to me. Don't worry, I will definitely solve them properly!"

After saying that, he patted Jiang Xiaolong on the shoulder to express his comfort and encouragement.

When Xiaolong heard Chen Feng say this, he glanced at Chen Feng and said, "Okay then! Uncle Chen Feng, you better hurry up! They will be here soon!"

Chen Feng nodded to Xiaolong and said, "Yes! Okay, I understand!"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaolong said nothing more and left Chen Feng's house.

After Jiang Xiaolong left, Chen Feng looked at Jin Ling speechlessly. He didn't expect that his father-in-law who starved to death was actually a landlord?

But think about it, it makes sense. Otherwise, in an ordinary family, who would teach their daughter to read, write and draw, and not teach her how to wash clothes and cook?

But Chen Feng thought, that's not right? Ordinary landlords have already let their daughters learn how to cook, right?

Jin Ling saw Chen Feng looking at her, so she asked nervously, "Husband, what should we do now?"

Chen Feng did not reply to her words, but asked, "Wife, let's put this aside for now. Tell me first, is your family just an ordinary landlord?"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng ask this, her expression changed again. Chen Feng took a look and realized that his wife had many secrets.

Chen Feng saw Jin Ling's face change for a while, and then he spoke weakly, "My family used to have the surname Aixinjueluo, and we changed it to Jin a few decades ago."

After Jin Ling finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head and dared not look at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard Jin Ling's words, and then hesitantly asked, "The Aixinjueluo of Puyi's family?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Jin Ling quickly waved her hands and said, "No! We are a branch of a branch! By the time of my grandfather, my family only had 200 acres of land left!"

That's really a side branch. Otherwise, how could his grandfather, at that time, be a high-ranking official, at least a big landowner with thousands of acres of land.

But I don’t know why Director Wang introduced Jin Ling to me?

Director Wang should have known her family background. If he knew, why did he introduce Jin Ling to him?

But it was too late to say anything now. Jin Ling had been married to him for several years and had two children. It was obviously too late to regret now.

Also, although Chen Feng really wants to ask Jin Ling why Director Wang introduced her to him.

But now is obviously not the right time, so Chen Feng said to Jin Ling, "Okay, I really want you to take Jin Ming and the children upstairs now, and leave this to me."

Seeing Chen Feng say this, Jin Ling still hesitated and said, "Hubby, do we really not need to go out and hide for a while?"

When Chen Feng heard his words, he said helplessly, "Hide? How to hide? It's like this everywhere now, where can we hide?"

"Okay, go up! You don't have to worry about this place!"

When Jin Ling heard Chen Feng say this, she no longer insisted and turned around to lead the child and Jin Ming upstairs.
