The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

After lunch, Chang Wei left Shengli Welfare Home and rode his bike straight to Andingmen, not to the Liang family or the Shengli Cannery.

Instead, he made an appointment to meet with Mr. Jin and asked him to help find four small courtyards with independent doors and courtyards outside Andingmen yesterday. These old people have a lot of real estate.

When we arrived at the agreed location, Mr. Jin was already waiting there.

Chang Wei stepped forward and handed him a cigarette to greet him. "Mr. Jin, any news?"

Old Jin nodded as usual, straightened his hands, and motioned him to go. "It's not far ahead, in Hexing Hutong."

There was no conversation along the way. A few minutes later, they arrived at Hexing Hutong that Mr. Jin mentioned. They could see the end at a glance and there were only a dozen courtyards.

Old Jin pointed to the first courtyard on the left side of the alley entrance and said, "There are four houses connected together, with the same layout. I'll take you in to have a look."

As he said that, he took out the key and opened the door. After entering the courtyard, Mr. Jin was still the same as always, and sat down on a random step. "Awei, you should look at it yourself, and we can talk about the price later."

Chang Wei nodded. The yard had a single entrance, so there was no need to go around. He could see everything clearly at a glance.

It is a square courtyard with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides. The west side room is actually the kitchen and dining room. There is no back room and the area is more than 200 square meters, which is very spacious for a family.

The room was empty, without any furniture...

Chang Wei walked over to Mr. Jin and sat down. He handed him a cigarette again and said with some dissatisfaction, "Mr. Jin, the yard is OK. It's suitable as a dormitory for the workers, but why is there no furniture?"

"Don't find fault, kid. This yard is not mine. It has three owners. Let me tell you the bottom line. This is the lowest price for four yards." Old Jin glanced at Chang Wei and gestured with the number two thousand five.

"Can't it be any less?"

Mr. Jin directly took out four property deeds and handed them to Chang Wei. "If you want them, take them and we'll find someone to sign the agreement. If you don't want them, I'll go back to sleep."

Chang Wei took the deed and joked, "Mr. Jin is so anxious, is there a young wife hidden at home?"

Two thousand five hundred yuan for four small courtyards, it was not expensive, and besides, I had gotten a great deal from Mr. Jin...

There was a sly flash in Old Jin's eyes. He did have a little wife, but he probably wouldn't want to give her to this kid. He grinned and said, "I heard that you are still working in the government. I have a distant niece who is eighteen years old. I'd like to take a chance and let her be your concubine?"

Chang Wei smiled brilliantly, and said, "No, if she's your daughter and can inherit your estate, I can consider it."

When he saw the old man suddenly smile so obscenely, he guessed that his purpose was not pure. The old man was evil, using a niece he found from nowhere to trick him. He also instigated him to take a concubine who was blatantly against the government. Isn't this giving him a handle...

However, he is not so easy to control, and he also has ulterior motives.

"Hurry up and go through the formalities. I feel so suffocated seeing you." Old Jin glared at Chang Wei and got up and left.

"Mr. Jin, you really don't want to consider it. It's not easy to find a son-in-law like me. He is also filial and can take care of me in my old age. The only thing is that he is not suitable for breaking pots..." Chang Wei stood up, but did not give up. He started to sell his products like a boaster.

"If I die, someone will break the pot. Besides, my daughter is over 40 years old. Are you sure you want to be my son-in-law? Then I will go back and ask her to divorce and live with you, and you will also have a son and a daughter." Old Jin turned around and locked the door, and retorted unhappily.

"Then forget it!" Chang Wei laughed and shook his head. Buy one get two free is not good. But the goal has not been achieved, so he has to continue. "Mr. Jin, actually, a grandson-in-law is fine. The lower the generation, the lower the higher. I don't mind. The requirements are not high. He just needs to look like my wife. The important thing is that he can inherit your estate..."

Hearing this, the corners of Old Jin's mouth twitched, and he realized why this boy was so annoying. "My granddaughter is married, do you have a special hobby and like married women?"

Chang Wei smiled faintly and took the opportunity to change the subject. "Mr. Jin, it seems that we are not destined to be relatives. Don't be sad. If we can't be relatives, we can still be good friends! As the saying goes, money is easy to get, but a friend is hard to find..."

Old Jin turned around and looked at Chang Wei in surprise. Only then did he realize that this kid was not making trouble, but was causing trouble. He had many evil thoughts. "What do you want to do now?"

Chang Wei smiled slightly, and said with a heroic and sincere look. "It's nothing. I like to treat my friends' affairs as my own. I am loyal. It just so happens that a friend of mine has a hobby of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and asked me to help him get some. Mr. Jin, you have many friends, and they should have some of these things. Nowadays, those things are not for eating or drinking. There is no point in keeping them. It is better to exchange them for something more practical. What do you think?"

From what Old Jin did just now, Chang Wei guessed that he must have something to say, but since they didn't have a good relationship, it was difficult to speak up. Even if he had a beautiful granddaughter, he couldn't accept her. It was just an excuse in a different way. These old people have a lot of good things, and it just so happens that his wife Huizhen likes antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

So as long as the antique is of sufficient importance, I can help out for my daughter-in-law.

As a man who loves his wife, it is reasonable to do something to please her, right?

Even if Mr. Jin is not an old fox, he is still a wise old man. How could he not understand Chang Wei's meaning? After thinking deeply and weighing the pros and cons, he spoke. "Ah Wei, bring your friend here to meet him when you have time. I have some stuff here, and my old friend has some."

"The sooner the better. After we sign the paperwork, let's go have a drink at Qianmen Tavern tonight. I heard the wine and braised dishes there are pretty good."

"Row!"

……

On Tian Zao's side, she was carrying out the task assigned to her by Chang Wei to gain merit.

Recently, the public security in Beijing is urgently clearing out the Kuomintang's spies and saboteurs. This group of people are causing destruction, explosions, robberies, etc. every day... They will do anything that can cause trouble and destruction. How can we reassure the people if we don't clear them out?

Chang Wei, who is familiar with the plot, knows that there is a big spy Zheng Qiang hidden in the KMT Secret Service in the area where Tian Zao is located, and many cases are instigated by him. And among the black skins recruited by Lin Zheng's branch, there is also Zheng Qiang's superior, Qin Defu, a big undercover who manages the household registration archives room.

This kind of credit should not be wasted, the key point is that they are all my daughters-in-law, and we should treat them equally. Qin Huairu's road has been paved, and the position of street director is a foregone conclusion. There is no escape, and there is a great chance that she will also be the district director in the future.

But according to the plot, Tian Zao is only the director of the neighborhood committee. How can this be possible? He must be pushed to become the director of the street at the very least...

When Li Hongying took out Zheng Qiang's photo and asked Tian Zao and others to mobilize the masses to help identify him.

Tian Zao immediately followed Chang Wei's plan, and after a round of preparations, he and Li Hongying came to the branch. He said that there was something unusual in the courtyard where Zheng Qiang was, and while Qin Defu was taking the files, he said that he found something strange on the tree (a radio antenna).

After hearing this, Lin Zheng immediately reported it to the municipal bureau. However, in order to ensure the safety of the people and the success of the operation, he decided to closely monitor the suspects and then conduct a surprise arrest at night.

As expected, Zheng Qiang and his group escaped. This result was also a plot that Chang Wei was familiar with. If they were caught immediately, how could Tian Zao have the chance to participate?
