Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

Siheyuan, He Yuzhu's home.

As soon as he entered the house, Li Xiuzhi said to him, "Boss, Yu Shui's family just came over. Xiao Liang wanted to wait for you to get off work and chat with you, but he had something urgent to do so he left first."

"But before he left, he told me that he found something suspicious about Yi Zhonghai, but he also found out that there was someone behind him, and he was planning to play the long game and catch a bigger fish, so he told us to be careful."

"I said that Yi Zhonghai must be up to something, otherwise he wouldn't be so sneaky. You and Yueliang just stay at home and don't leave the courtyard easily. I'll go tell Damao," He Yuzhu went to the backyard after hearing what his wife relayed.

At this time, Qin Huairu, who came back from get off work at the Jia family, said, "Mom, why didn't you cook? You were scolded by the street office. You didn't even cook." She pushed open the door but didn't see Jia Zhangshi.

"Grandma hasn't come back yet, and Huaihua and I are hungry." At this time, the two daughters heard the noise and ran out of the house.

After hearing what her daughter said, Qin Huairu thought about Jia Zhang's previous behavior and believed that she must have gone out to cheat again. She thought to herself, "Well, there's still some private money. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get it back."

But when Jia Zhang didn't come back until the evening, she became anxious. Although she hated her mother-in-law for talking nonsense and making trouble, she had been with her for a long time and had some feelings for her.

"And usually when Jia Zhang was at home, she wouldn't worry about her two daughters. After all, she would cook for them. But now she's gone.

"Xiaodang, just watch your sister finish eating and go to sleep first. I'll go outside the yard to look for your grandma." She thought she was still in the street office and rushed to look for her.

When the gate was about to close, Qin Huairu came back in a daze. She was not in the street office, and the staff on duty at the street office also knew about Jia Zhang's disappearance.

The subdistrict office decided to send someone to look for her again tomorrow, suspecting that she had fled for fear of being convicted, and planned to issue a warrant for her arrest.

"Where have you been? It's just criticism and education. Do you have the nerve to hide? But you are not that kind of person," Qin Huairu, who was sitting on the kang, whispered to her two sleeping daughters.

It was already late at night outside and there was a knock on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."

"Mother-in-law, you're back," she hurried to open the door, and before she finished speaking she found that it was Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, what do you have to do so late at night?" Qin Huairu looked at the person who appeared at the door.

"Let's go in and talk," Yi Zhonghai looked around and entered the Jia family.

"Uncle, what do you want from me so late at night?" Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai in confusion. After all, no normal person would knock on a widow's door so late at night.

"I don't have anything to do, but I saw you went out late at night and came back with something urgent, so I came to check on you."

"Uncle, my mother-in-law is missing. She just participated in the struggle session this morning and disappeared in the afternoon. She hasn't come back yet and I don't know where she went."

"If we don't hurry to find her, the neighborhood committee will think she has fled for fear of crime, and she might be shot if she is caught," Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of her and quickly discussed with him.

"Is she cheating again?" Yi Zhonghai also thought of Jia Zhang's usual cheating behavior.

"But it's already so late. I can't stay awake and come back even if I eat secretly," Qin Huairu rejected this idea.

"Go find Qi Tianfang in the backyard. He also works in the street office, and his wife is a police officer. Ask him to call on the people in the yard to look for him everywhere."

"After all, your mother-in-law's reputation is already bad, and no one will help you unless the street office shows up," Yi Zhonghai immediately gave an idea.

"Yes, there are people from the police and the street office in our courtyard. I'll go there right away," Qin Huairu said and ran to the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai, who stayed at the Jia family, looked at Qin Huairu who left in a hurry and had a strange expression on his face.

The original house of the deaf old lady in the backyard,

"Knock, knock, is Secretary Qi at home?"

"Who is it? Why don't you tell me tomorrow if you have something to say?" After a while, the lights in the room came on and a voice was heard.

"Secretary Qi, I'm Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court. My mother-in-law is missing. Could you send someone to help me find her?" Qin Huairu said respectfully.

She couldn't afford to offend Qi Tianfang and his wife. One of them worked in the street office and the other in the police station, both of whom could control her, so she was very honest.

After a while, the door opened and Qi Tianfang and his wife came out wearing clothes.

"Jia Zhang is missing. How could that happen? How could such an adult be lost? And we have to alarm everyone in the courtyard so late at night," Qi Tianfang said to her impatiently.

"I'm afraid she's in danger. You should talk to everyone and ask them to help me find her." Qin Huairu saw Qi Tianfang trying to pull his sleeve out, but Qi Tianfang's wife pulled her hand away.

"Qin Huairu, please be careful and stop pulling and tugging." Qi Tianfang's wife, who was standing next to her, was fed up with Qin Huairu's actions.

"Sorry, I was too anxious," Qin Huairu quickly retracted her hand.

"Okay, since we live in the same courtyard, I'll ask everyone to help look for it, but it's dark in the middle of the night, how can we see anything?" After saying that, he went to Liu Haizhong's house. After all, Liu Haizhong was the second uncle in this courtyard.

Soon, the sound of a gong rang out in the yard, "Everyone come out, it's time for a meeting."

Liu Haizhong’s two sons ran around the yard holding gongs.

Everyone in the courtyard thought something had happened and soon they all ran out.

"Second uncle, why are you beating the gong so late at night when you are not sleeping?"

"That's right, I won't tell you tomorrow if there's something wrong."

"I have to go to work tomorrow morning, you have to pay me for being late", everyone started talking.

"Everyone please be quiet and listen to the lecture from the street office staff Qi," Liu Haizhong said and then bowed to Qi Tianfang in a very servile manner.

"Don't bother with all this nonsense. I'm calling you all out for one thing. Jia Zhang is missing. Please take the trouble to look around for her," Qi Tianfang stopped Liu Haizhong and told everyone what happened.

"The old lady of the Jia family is missing, this is a good thing"

"You're right. Now the courtyard is finally peaceful. It should have disappeared long ago."

"That's right, I hope you never come back again."

"Whoever wants to go can go, I won't go."

When everyone in the courtyard heard about this, they said all kinds of things, but the main idea was that Jia Zhang should never come back.

"Don't worry, this is all voluntary, there is no intention to force you, if anyone doesn't want to, they can go home," Qi Tianfang looked at everyone talking here,

But no one took the initiative to look for Jia Zhang, and one could not help but sigh at how bad Jia Zhang's popularity was.

When everyone saw Qi Tianfang say this, they gave him face and, led by Liu Haizhong, went out of the courtyard in groups of three or four to look for him.

But Xu Damao in the backyard didn't give him this face. "You guys go look for her. I'm very tired after a day's work. How can I have the time to look for that old woman? Isn't it nice to sleep with my wife in her arms?" After saying that, he turned around and went back to his home.

He Yuzhu, who also lived in the middle courtyard, stood at the door and listened to Qi Tianfang's words, then turned around and went back to his home. After all, the two families had just had a conflict last night, and in the morning Jia Zhang was criticized because of the He family's affairs. How could he go to find Jia Zhang now?
