Siheyuan: Forced to exchange rooms with Qin Huairu at the beginning

When Liu Haizhong first entered, he still thought that he was Director Li's right-hand man.

He should be criticized and that's enough. As for Zheng Hongliang, he is a traitor. I will definitely not let him off when I gain power.

But Liu Haizhong was overthinking it. His position in Director Li's heart was not that high at all. There had been no movement for several days.

The policemen at the police station particularly hated corrupt officials like Liu Haizhong. They didn't even give him proper meals, and Liu Haizhong was almost starving to death.

"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, how are you?"

The second aunt came to see Liu Haizhong accompanied by Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and cried loudly.

Life in the courtyard has become difficult for the Liu family. Liu Haizhong was arrested for corruption, and everyone started to target the Liu family.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu don’t dare to go out now. If they go out, they will definitely be caught and beaten, and after being beaten, they will be asked to leave a message saying that the son must pay for the father’s debt.

Even today, when the three of them came over, they saw a lot of people staring at them, which almost scared Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to death.

"Alas, I don't think I can make it this time. We still have our savings at home. You should live well with your two children."

Liu Haizhong lowered his head and sighed.

He regretted it. After becoming an official, he was blinded by power and forgot that God is watching what he does, which led to this result.

If he were given another chance, Liu Haizhong swore that he would never do that.

"No, now those people are unwilling to sell things to our family, and our rice jar is about to be empty."

"And look at what has become of the two children. You have done all those evil things, and now you are in prison, and the two children are suffering for you."

Second Aunt wanted to cry when she thought about what happened in the past two days. The Liu family could no longer make ends meet. The lives of their two children were threatened. They asked First Uncle for help, but the First Uncle refused and was unwilling to help. What could Second Aunt, a woman, do?

"If it doesn't work, move to another city. I don't have any other options now."

Liu Haizhong lowered his head and said that his wife and children would not be harmed. It was all done by him, Liu Haizhong. What did it have to do with his family? Why did these people target his family?

But now he has been arrested, and there is nothing he can do but let his wife and children hide.

"How can we live in other cities? We don't even have a house. How can we afford to buy one?"

The second aunt was completely in the dark. Houses are limited in number nowadays and each one is assigned to a vacancy. It is very difficult to get a house in a strange city.

"Why don't you go to the countryside? There's a house there. Life there may be a little harder, but at least you won't starve to death."

Liu Haizhong thought of another idea. If he had no other choice, he really didn't want his family to go to the countryside.

People like Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, although they were beaten every day, certainly could not stand the hardship of earning work points in the fields in the countryside.

"This... can it work?"

The second aunt asked uncertainly. She had been cooking at home for so many years that she had long forgotten how to farm the land.

"Alas, there is no other way but to do this. At least I can survive by going to the countryside."

Liu Haizhong said bitterly that his enemies would not be so cruel as to go to the countryside to bully his wife and children.

"Well, then, Lao Liu, we'll leave. You live well on your own. If you get out, you can find us in the village."

The second aunt cried and stared at Liu Haizhong. She felt that this farewell might be a farewell forever. She estimated that she would never see the man who had beaten her for half her life again.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu kowtowed to Liu Haizhong three times as a farewell in advance.

…………

The result of handling Liu Haizhong's case came out very quickly. The final result of Liu Haizhong's case was to go to the countryside to undergo labor reform and re-education.

Liu Haizhong was completely confused. He thought it would be better to lock himself up for the rest of his life, at least he could stay alive. But now he was asked to go to the countryside.

Even though Liu Haizhong sent his wife and children to the countryside, he himself didn't want to go, and he didn't have time. Who knows how long his labor reform will take.

After eating the rice at home, Second Aunt prepared to set off with Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

There was nothing to pack, so they packed up the clothes at home and prepared to take them to the village to distribute them to the villagers. This way they could get other people to help them.

"Mom, do you think we can come back?"

Liu Guangfu asked.

"I don't know, but staying here is definitely a dead end. Let's go."

The second aunt said firmly that now that Liu Haizhong was not around, she would support the family.

"Mom, I heard that my dad was also assigned to the countryside. Should we go find him?"

Liu Guangtian asked, although their father always beat them, they did feel more at ease when Liu Haizhong was around.

"No, your father is a man who has made a mistake. We can't cause trouble for him."

That being said, what Second Aunt was thinking in her heart was to stay away from Liu Haizhong, otherwise her two sons would definitely be looked down upon.

She went to an unfamiliar rural area and tried her best to find wives for her two children.

…………

After the Liu family left, a large house became vacant in the backyard, and the people in the courtyard became excited again, wondering if they could take the house for themselves.

"Old Yan, should we try to get the house here?"

The third aunt asked, saying that there were so many people in the family and she was jealous of the house.

"Oh, that's enough. Let's not consider the time now. We should keep a low profile and get through this period first."

Yan Bugui sighed and said that now he only wanted to avoid trouble. If it were in the past, he would definitely go, but if he went now, he would just be asking trouble to find him.

"Then how are we going to survive? The money is almost gone and Yu Li is unwilling to give us money. This is really too much."

The third aunt said angrily.

The Yan family is in trouble now. Yu Li, the daughter-in-law, is really ungrateful and doesn't even offer to help the family even though she has the ability.

"Well, if it doesn't work, just sell the bike. It will at least help me survive for a while."

Yan Bugui said helplessly.

"Ah? Selling the car? You bought it with great difficulty. Are you really going to sell it?"

The third aunt said in surprise that although the car was second-hand, Yan Bugui treated it like a treasure and wanted to clean it three times a day, but now he wanted to sell the car.

"What's the point of having a bicycle if you can't even afford food? Sell it."

Yan Bugui does what he says; he is afraid he will regret it if he waits any longer.

No matter how clean he cleaned it, it was already a third-hand bicycle. In the end, Yan Bugui almost knelt on the ground and begged the man before he was willing to buy it for thirty-three yuan.

"Why is there only so little money?"

The third aunt said unhappily that the bicycle was so good that it was worth at least fifty yuan. She had already given him the bicycle lock, but the price was so low.

"Normally, that person saw that I was in a hurry to sell and was finding faults everywhere. Let's go buy some sorghum flour first and eat our fill first before we talk about other things."

Yan Bugui sighed.

"That's fine."

The third aunt put the money away. It was a challenge for her to figure out how she could live longer with such little money.
