1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chen Mancang, who was in the house, heard his wife's excited cry that was almost breaking, and he hurried out of the house without even putting on his shoes, and quickly walked to the door with his wife.

At this moment, He Yuzhu drove Chen Lanxiang and slowly stopped in front of the Chen family's door.

Chen Lanxiang introduced He Yuzhu generously: "Brother He, this is my father and mother. Dad and mom, this is Comrade He Yuzhu."

Chen Lanxiang's parents were stunned at first, and then their eyes fell on the young man in front of them.

He Yuzhu was seen with an upright posture, a clean and tidy face, and a spirit of energy. They immediately smiled with satisfaction and said yes, while hurriedly extending their hands to invite He Yuzhu to walk into the yard.

He Yuzhu quickly parked his bicycle in the yard and took the carefully prepared gift off the bicycle.

He presented the gifts respectfully, with a sincere smile on his face, and called them uncle and aunt affectionately.

Then, he carefully followed Chen Mancang into the house, his look reserved yet eager.

This was his first time visiting his girlfriend's home, and he knew she would ask him some questions.

At this moment, he felt both excited and nervous.

Chen's mother Liu Zhaodi gently pulled Chen Lanxiang to a corner, her eyes full of expectation and concern, and asked in a low voice, "Daughter, what do you think of this man?"

Chen Lanxiang's cheeks were instantly flushed. She lowered her head slightly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. She nodded gently, like a shy water lotus.

When Chen's mother saw it, her mind instantly became clear. Since her daughter had agreed, this matter was almost certain.

Her face was filled with joy. She walked quickly into the house and nodded slightly towards Chen Mancang.

Chen Mancang understood what his wife meant, coughed lightly, and deliberately frowned, and asked seriously: "Comrade He Yuzhu, you also saw my daughter. I just want to ask you, what are you thinking?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he straightened his back immediately, his eyes were firm and fiery, and he said without hesitation: "Uncle, I will clean up the house as soon as I get back, and then pick a good day as soon as possible to come and give the betrothal gifts, and marry Lanxiang as soon as possible, so that she can live a good life!"

As he said this, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, as if he was swearing silently.

Seeing the young man so eager, Old Man Chen felt more at ease, but he still didn't give in immediately. He continued, "Dahe and his wife are both honest people. I trust the person they introduced to me and I'm sure he'll be good.

But you must remember to treat our Lanxiang well. Our Lanxiang has suffered a lot since she was a child. You must love her!"

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly, his tone sincere and firm: "Uncle, don't worry! If I, He Yuzhu, treat Lanxiang badly, I will be struck by lightning! I will definitely hold her in the palm of my hand and not let her suffer any grievances."

He Yuzhu's words really made the two elderly people Chen Mancang and Liu Zhaodi feel much more at ease.

Chen Mancang then asked, "Yuzhu, tell me, how much is your monthly salary? Who else is there in your family? How many rooms do you have?"

He Yuzhu did not hide anything and told Chen Mancang the situation at home in detail.

"Uncle, I work in a steel mill. My monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, which is quite stable. There is no one else at home except me and my sister Yu Shui.

We have two main rooms in the courtyard, and my sister has a separate room. When Lanxiang and I get married in the future, housing will not be a problem.

Besides, this house belongs to our He family, and we have the title deed.”

After hearing this, Chen Mancang showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

He thought to himself that He Yuzhu had a formal job in a steel rolling mill and also had a cooking skill, so these conditions were indeed good.

Furthermore, this house also makes them feel at ease, and the couple will have a stable home to live in in the future.

Overall, Chen Mancang was quite satisfied with his future son-in-law.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Chen Mancang did not invite He Yuzhu to dinner, but said, "Yuzhu, clean up your house as soon as possible and come over to propose marriage!"

He Yuzhu understood, stood up and said, "Uncle, aunt, I will go back and prepare first."

Under the gaze of the Chen family, He Yuzhu looked back every three steps and every two steps, and his reluctant look seemed as if he had taken root under his feet.

In the end, he got on his bike and slowly left.

Along the way, He Yuzhu felt very happy. Whenever he thought of Chen Lanxiang's appearance, he couldn't help but smile proudly, as if he had already seen the happy life in the future waving at him.

When he returned to the courtyard, Li Dahe, Li Dajiang and the others immediately surrounded him, their eyes widened with curiosity, and they couldn't wait to ask, "Zhu Zi, how is it? Did it work?"

He Yuzhu held his head high, his smile as bright as the warm spring sun, and shouted, "It's done!"

When the Li family heard this, they were overjoyed and surrounded He Yuzhu and came to the Li family's house.

Everyone was talking at once, and couldn't wait to let him tell the whole story.

He Yuzhu was grinning, dancing with excitement, and talking nonstop: "Lanxiang and I were talking and laughing along the way. She even asked me to take her home. I also had a great chat with her parents. Whatever her father asked me, I answered honestly without hiding anything."

"Finally, before I left, he told me to pick a good day to get engaged to Lanxiang as soon as possible!"

When He Dahua heard that her uncle and aunt were very satisfied with the marriage and asked He Yuzhu to propose as soon as possible, she said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade He Yuzhu, since my third aunt and uncle have agreed to your relationship, you should quickly prepare the betrothal gifts and choose a good day to present the betrothal gifts."

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly and kept assuring: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will do it as soon as possible and will not delay."

In the Jiaodaokou Police Station, the lights were on all night.

Captain Chen sat in the interrogation room with a serious expression, while Boss Hu sitting opposite him hung his head, looking tired.

After a day and a night of interrogation, Boss Hu could no longer bear the psychological pressure and confessed all the bad things he had done over the years.

These include several major cases related to Yi Zhonghai.

Captain Chen unraveled the case based on the existing information and tried to restore the full picture of the case.

However, during this process, they were caught off guard by another shocking discovery.

Boss Hu accidentally revealed that the deaf old lady used to be a brothel owner. This news exploded in the interrogation room like a bombshell.

But at this moment, what shocked them even more was how a deaf old lady with such a special identity could transform herself into a five-guarantee household?

Captain Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.

He was keenly aware that this matter was by no means as simple as it seemed, and that there must be an unknown network of relationships hidden behind it.

He took a deep breath, looked firmly at the police officers who were interrogating him, and said in a low voice, "This matter is of great importance. Everyone must keep it strictly confidential and not let any information leak out."
