Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Because of the last donation, Director Song had a very good impression of Xu Huizhen. He thought Xu Huizhen was not that kind of person. So he didn't want to embarrass her, and since there was no evidence, he just said, "Okay, Comrade Huizhen, you can go back first. We will continue to investigate this matter. If there is anything else, we will contact you."

Xu Huizhen had no intention of leaving. She asked, "Chief Song, Fan Jinyou is saying bad things about me everywhere and ruining my reputation. Will you police officers take care of this?"

Director Song coughed twice and said, "If it does not cause any adverse impact, it is a civil dispute and is not our responsibility. Can you contact the neighborhood committee and ask them to criticize and educate Fan Jinyou on the moral level?"

Xu Huizhen: "What do you mean by bad influence? Do you mean that you will only care if I throw myself into the clear pond and hang myself on a tree in the southeast?"

Director Song waved his hands repeatedly: "No, Comrade Huizhen, it's not that serious."

Xu Huizhen immediately pretended to be sad and cried, "Director Song, how important is a woman's reputation? Especially for a single woman like me. Fan Jinyou killed people without using a knife. If I were a hot-tempered person, I would have rushed to the moat as soon as I left the house, and there would have been one more wronged soul in the moat."

When Fan Jinyou heard Xu Huizhen exaggerating, he said hurriedly, "Xu Huizhen, when you talk about me being beaten, what moat are you talking about? Don't exaggerate."

Xu Huizhen refused to give in: "You yourself admitted that you said bad things about me. Why are you allowed to suspect me of beating you but not to hold you accountable? You are like a county official who is allowed to set fires but not the people who are allowed to light lamps."

After saying that, she picked up the phone and called the Daqianmen Neighborhood Committee. She briefly explained the whole story and asked Director Wang to come to the police station.

In short, no matter the neighborhood committee or the police station, they have to give me an explanation. Xu Huizhen's actions put Director Song in a passive position. One case has not been solved yet, and another case has been involved. Who can he talk to? Oh, this woman is not easy to deal with!

After Director Wang arrived, she learned the whole story. Now that she was being held hostage by the embroidery factory, she had to stand on Xu Huizhen's side.

Director Wang asked, "Fan Jinyou, the anonymous letter I received about Xu Huizhen was written by you, right? Don't deny it. I have checked the handwriting and it is you."

Fan Jinyou lowered his head and defended himself guiltily, "What I wrote was correct! She, Xu Huizhen, was a widow who opened a shop. She used her beauty to attract business."

Xu Huizhen was furious when she heard this. This was intolerable. She stepped forward and slapped Fan Jin twice. Recently, she had perfected her slapping skills.

Director Song quickly stepped forward to stop them: "It is wrong to hit people, and to do it in front of the police."

Xu Huizhen: "Is it okay to curse people? Is it okay to speak nonsense and slander people without any evidence in front of the police? I tell you, Fan Jinyou, if I hadn't seen that you were injured today, I would not have spared you today!"

Director Wang also said: "Fan Jinyou, you were once a street cadre, but your ideological awareness is too low. I am really disappointed in you. Our neighborhood committee has already investigated and found that it is all fabricated and there is no evidence. It is a pure false accusation."

Fan Jinyou was so shocked that his eyes were dazed. He stiffened his neck and said, "How come there is no evidence? Vladimir said 'I love you' in public in the tavern, and many people heard it."

Xu Huizhen: "Vladimir is a foreigner, and the way foreigners express their emotions is different from ours. The love he talks about is not simply love between men and women, but love in a broad sense, such as love for parents and love for friends. They are foreigners, and they hug each other when they meet, regardless of whether they are men or women. So what you said is that they are all having promiscuous relationships?"

Director Wang agreed, "Yes, that's how the Soviets are. It has nothing to do with style. It's just like when we meet and shake hands, it's a courtesy. Besides, that was just Vladimir's unilateral idea."

Fan Jinyou: "What about Cao Dongyang? His wife has come to visit him."

Director Wang: "We have also investigated this matter. It was Cao Dongyang who had dirty intentions. Xu Huizhen was just an innocent victim."

Fan Jinyou gritted his teeth and said, "Director Wang, you are on Xu Huizhen's side and protecting her."

Director Wang: "So, what did Cao Dongyang and Xu Hui really do? Do you have evidence, or is it just hearsay? Cao Dongyang's mother-in-law was sent to labor reform for spreading rumors. Do you also want to go to Chadian Farm for labor reform?"

This sentence stunned Fan Jinyou. Director Song praised Director Wang in his heart. He is experienced in handling such matters.

Finally, Director Wang said, "Fan Jinyou, since you injured your leg, we will not impose any substantial punishment on you this time. However, you must write a letter of apology, which will be recorded by our neighborhood committee. If you make similar mistakes again in the future, we will settle both the old and new accounts together. In addition, you must sincerely apologize to Xu Huizhen and obtain her forgiveness.

Xu Huizhen curled her lips and said, "This kind of person has dirty thoughts. I don't care about his apology. If you ask me, Fan Jinyou, do less things that hurt others and benefit yourself in the future, or you will suffer retribution."

She brought up this matter just to warn Fan Jinyou not to think that she, Xu Hui, was a soft persimmon that could be easily bullied.

The goal was achieved, and she didn't want to pursue the matter any further. If the matter got out of hand, it would be bad for her reputation. Reputation was very important to women in any era. If the jade bottle was damaged in order to kill the mouse, it would not be worth it.

It happens once, twice, but not three or four times. Fan Jinyou challenged her bottom line twice in a row. Xu Huizhen made up her mind that if it happened again, she would completely eliminate Fan Jinyou, the dangerous factor.

Her soul came from the afterlife, and she had a natural reverence for life, so she didn't want to take anyone's life unless it was absolutely necessary. Another way was to let him spend the rest of his life in prison, but that required careful consideration.

After returning to the tavern, Xu Huizhen cast an unfriendly look at Cai Quanwu and stared at him. Cai Quanwu noticed Xu Huizhen's gaze, raised his head and grinned.

While He Yumei was not paying attention, Xu Huizhen asked in a low voice: "Did you tell Qian Jinlai about Fan Jinyou's matter?" Xu Huizhen knew that except Cai Quanwu, no one else knew about this.

Cai Quanwu was originally counting the bills with his head down. He said smugly, "You have to pay for what you have done. I didn't even have to do anything. I just told Qian Jinlai about the matter, and the guy started yelling and saying that he was good at this kind of thing. Also, don't dirty your hands with things like this in the future. Just tell me."

Through what happened to Qu Jing that day, Cai Quanwu realized that Xu Hui was really skilled. She was not the weak woman he had imagined. An expert could tell the difference with just one move. She dislocated the man's jaw right away. She must have practiced a lot.

When Xu Huizhen heard this, she realized that Cai Quanwu knew about her actions that night, so she asked, "I'm wondering, how did he recognize me?"

Cai Quanwu: "Do you think you'll be safe if you cover your face? Who is Qian Jinlai? He has a sharp eye. From your height, body shape, and walking posture, people who are familiar with you can tell roughly what you are. Besides, this incident started because of you. It just so happened that you were there. Isn't that a connection?"
