Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Yi Zhonghai believed He Daqing's words 80%, but he still held out a glimmer of hope and went to the alley to investigate in person. The result he got was exactly the same as what He Daqing said.

When he returned home with a frown, he found the deaf old lady in his house, and with her was He Daqing.

I immediately guessed that it was He Daqing who brought the old lady here.

"Zhonghai, have you found out who spread the rumor about the old lady?" the deaf old lady asked with her eyes lowered.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and nodded, "I found it. It was indeed Jia Zhang. Old lady, you know that Jia Zhang is a chatterbox. Someone must have heard it by mistake and spread the rumor. The rumor got worse and worse, and it became like this."

How could the deaf old lady not hear that Yi Zhonghai was pleading for the Jia family?

But her old lady was not someone who could be easily bullied, and she immediately said, "Zhong Hai, don't get involved in what happens later, or it will make things difficult for you."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

The deaf old lady winked at He Daqing, and He Daqing immediately helped the old lady out of the door and headed straight for the Jia family opposite.

After a while, the crying and wailing of Jia Zhang was heard from the direction of Jia's house, which was so sad that anyone who heard it would cry.

In a moment, the deaf old lady left the Jia family contentedly and looked at He Daqing standing beside her.

"Daqing, even if this matter is over, you still need to solve the problem of the pillar yourself."

He Daqing nodded, his face not looking very good. When he returned home and heard the girl complaining, he was so angry that he wanted to beat Sha Zhu up. But thinking that Sha Zhu was still injured, he decided to just give him a lecture.

In the end, when the quilt was lifted, he was not scared to death.

It was like a hairy boiled egg, with pieces of it scattered here and there, and its head looked like it had been gnawed by a dog.

"Okay, old lady, I'll take you back. Zhuzi is not a child anymore, he can handle his own problems."

The deaf old lady nodded and was sent back home.

The next day, Lu Zhenyuan got up early in the morning and went out to empty the toilet. When he was done, he was walking back...

"Master!"

Lu Zhenyuan raised an eyebrow.

"San'er, what's the matter?"

Chai San chuckled, glanced around to make sure there were no outsiders, and then said, "Master, we have investigated Fan Jinyou's case. It was instigated by an official named Liang from the Street Office."

"Old Ren used his connections to fire Fan Jinyou, and Old Liang will also fire him after the street meeting this morning. Do you think this is a satisfactory solution?"

Lu Zhenyuan nodded, "Where is Fan Jinyou now?"

"He's in the hospital. His face is all scratched up. He probably won't be able to leave the hospital for three to five days."

"Okay, you and your men will have to keep an eye on Fan Jin later. If he doesn't behave himself..." Lu Zhenyuan's voice stopped there, but the coldness that flashed across his eyes was clearly seen by Chai San.

He immediately understood and nodded vigorously.

"There is one more thing. You should know about He Daqing from our hospital. You have arranged for someone to secretly watch him recently. He has been close to a widow named Bai. It's okay if you can't watch He Daqing watching the widow."

"If this White Widow makes any major moves, such as running away, tell me immediately."

"understand!"

Lu Zhenyuan nodded with satisfaction. Although Chai San worked under Deputy Director Zheng Weihong, he had been hanging around the city privately before and had subdued a few gangsters.

Although he is doing his job now, the thugs under him have not given up.

It's not quite accurate to call them thugs. They are considered Chai San's hidden agents or tainted witnesses. There are some things that cannot be investigated by someone of Chai San's status, but they are not a big problem for these little thugs.

"If you don't have enough manpower, you can contact Zhang Zhengcai. He still has some available people under his command."

Chai San immediately nodded in agreement.

After confirming that there was nothing else, Lu Zhenyuan returned to the courtyard.

Chai Sanze went to do what he asked him to do.

With proper care, my little sister's ankle is no longer seriously injured and its appearance has returned to normal. All she needs to do is recover a little bit so that it won't interfere with her walking.

However, Lu Zhenyuan personally sent his adopted sister to the street office early in the morning.

It wasn't a big deal, but the main point was to show care and concern.

When I delivered lunch at noon, I learned that the street had held a meeting in the morning and an official had been fired. I secretly thought that Mr. Ren was very efficient.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

Because she was beaten by the deaf old lady, Jia Zhangshi stopped stealing coal at night and was rarely seen going out these days, which made Lu Zhenyuan feel it was a pity.

However, as the New Year was approaching, he had no intention of arguing with Jia Zhangshi. After all, he had already gotten back at her.

"Aunt Mei, Happy New Year!"

Early in the morning, Aunt Mei came over to cook as usual, and Lu Zhenyuan greeted her as soon as he opened the door.

Aunt Mei couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, okay, here's the red envelope." Aunt Mei came into the house and handed over a red envelope.

Logically speaking, their relationship was inappropriate, but now Aunt Mei had been completely integrated into the family, and Lu Zhenyuan's call of "Auntie" was sincere. As the saying goes, a gift from an elder cannot be refused, so he happily accepted it.

"Happy New Year, Aunt Mei. I wish you more and more youthful!" The little girl who was washing heard the noise and immediately ran over.

Aunt Mei immediately took out another big red envelope and handed it to Xiao Yuyan.

Lu Zhenyuan looked at the small red envelope in his hand, and then looked at the big red envelope in Xiao Yuyan's hand.

I looked at Aunt Mei speechlessly, why did she treat us differently?

At this time, Lu Wanyi also came out after dressing up. Because she didn't have to go to work, she didn't wear a women's Mao suit, but changed into a set of neoclassical art home clothes, which showed elegance and luxury, yet youthful beauty.

"Aunt Mei, Happy New Year. Thank you for your care over the past year. Please take this as a small token of my appreciation." Lu Wanyi expressed her gratitude and took out a red envelope that looked quite heavy.

Su Mei also took it with a smile, put it in her pocket, and then went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Lu Zhenyuan and Lu Wanyi looked at each other.

The red envelope given to Aunt Mei was the result of discussion between the two, and it was Lu Wanyi who took the initiative to propose it. She knew that Aunt Mei and her stepbrother had a special relationship, and Aunt Mei had been taking care of the Lu family until now and had never received a penny of her salary.

But they cannot accept it with peace of mind, and this red envelope is acceptable no matter it is a token of thoughtfulness or a sign of filial piety from the younger generation to the older generation.

While Aunt Mei was cooking, the family was not idle either. They started to put up spring couplets, including Aunt Mei's room.

By the time I finished my work, Aunt Mei had prepared breakfast.

"Come so early?"

Lu Zhenyuan glanced out the window.

The cheap sister looked in the direction he was looking at, and couldn't help but give him a blank look, then she stood up to open the door.

Chen Xueru came in carrying a small bag.

"It smells so good. Is there any for me?" Smelling the aroma, Chen Xueru ran straight to the kitchen.

Lu Wanyi found it funny, but she was not surprised by Chen Xueru's arrival. They had already agreed to spend the New Year together at their home. After all, Chen Xueru had no home to return to, so this place was her home.

"Aunt Mei, Happy New Year!" Chen Xueru greeted with a smile. The New Year gifts had been delivered before the New Year, so there was no need to prepare them now.

Aunt Mei invited a few people to eat.

After Chen Xueru took her seat, she started quarreling with Xiao Yuyan. When these two beauties, one big and one small, get together, there is no peace.

After breakfast, the family gathered together to chat. It was almost noon and Bai Ling finally arrived, bringing gifts for everyone.

The luncheon was lively again.

Compared with the joyful atmosphere of the Lu family reunion, there are always two families in the courtyard that seem a little deserted.

Yi Zhonghai frowned.

He has no descendants! Hearing other families are bustling with activity, and seeing his own family is so lonely and desolate, he feels so miserable and sad.

Originally, he planned to invite the Jia family and the old lady to celebrate the New Year together this year, so that it would be more lively with more people.

But the old lady had just beaten Jia Zhang two days ago. Although Dongxu didn't say anything, he could see that she was complaining. Now he was worried about whether he should ask the old lady for help and ask the Jia family to come over.

……

He family.

"Zhu Zi, go buy a bag of salt."

"Isn't there salt?"

"Just go if I tell you to!"

Shazhu put on his hat and went out mumblingly.

He Daqing sighed, waited for a while, picked up the bag he had prepared long ago and went out.
