Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

The crowd dispersed, and Chen Zhaodi killed the fish and chicken again, cleaned them, and went home.

Taking out the White Rabbit from her pocket, Chen Zhaodi sighed. This fellow is too careless. He only knows that the White Rabbit candy is precious and delicious these days, but doesn't he know to check when the White Rabbit was first produced and how much is produced each year? Can this thing be bought by people without money, status, or connections?

In her previous life, when she wanted to eat milk candy, she only dared to buy Oh-Oh milk candy. White Rabbit milk candy was too expensive for her, not to mention other foreign milk candies.

She put all the candies into the space, then put a dozen peanuts into her pocket and started to get busy.

When Chen Datou and Hu Meihua came back, unexpectedly, Hu Meihua came to question her first.

"When the fight happened in the middle courtyard, what did you say to Xiao Li? Did he give you anything delicious?"

Hu Meihua asked while pulling her arm and searching her pockets.

When a dozen peanuts were pulled out of his pocket, Chen Guangzong immediately started to cry out, "Give them to me, give them to me. I want to eat them. I want to eat them."

Hu Meihua lovingly gave all the peanuts to Chen Guangzong: "Okay, okay, they are all yours, take them."

He turned around and looked at Chen Zhaodi with disgust and asked, "Is that all? Didn't you say there were a lot?"

Chen Zhaodi was glad that she had hidden the White Rabbit early on. She said timidly, "That's all. There's really no more."

Hu Meihua didn't believe it. She heard from Qin Huairu that Xiao Li gave her a large handful twice, each time. How could there be only a dozen or so?

Hu Meihua searched Chen Zhaodi's bed behind the kitchen but couldn't find it. She had no choice but to give up and slapped Chen Zhaodi in the face.

"You are the reincarnation of a starving ghost. All you know is eating."

Chen Guangzong ate all the peanuts and ran over to ask for more: "Mom, where are the peanuts? I want more. They are delicious."

Hu Meihua quickly coaxed him: "Son, we'll have dinner soon, let's not eat peanuts yet."

"No, no, I just want to eat it." Chen Guangzong grabbed Hu Meihua's hand and twisted his body, just to eat the peanuts.

Chen Zhaodi lowered her head and sneered. These were newly harvested red-skinned peanuts, fried to perfection. They tasted much better than those sold in grocery stores. It would be impossible for Chen Guangzong to eat them again.

Hu Meihua was so annoyed by Chen Guangzong that she had to look for the New Year's goods she had bought earlier, put out peanuts and melon seeds, and let Chen Guangzong and Chen Datou, father and son, eat them. She then took Chen Zhaodi to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

While chopping the chicken, he asked, "You haven't told me what Xiao Li told you yet, hurry up."

Chen Zhaodi said with a bitter face: "Little Brother Li complained to me, saying that the Jia family was too disgusting and refused to pay three quarters of his meat money."

Hu Meihua was stunned: "The Jia family owed you three quarters of the money for the meat? Why is he telling you this? No, when did he become so familiar with you? Tell me the truth, what do you usually do at home?"

As he said that, he dropped the knife, grabbed Chen Zhaodi's ear and twisted it hard.

Chen Zhaodi screamed, "Ahhh~ Mom, it hurts, it hurts, I didn't do anything."

"If you hadn't done anything, how could Xiao Li tell you this?"

Hu Meihua twisted it a few more times, and only put down her hand in disgust when she saw that Chen Zhaodi was crying so hard that her nose was running.

At this moment, Chen Zhaodi really wished she had a knife in her hand so that she could die together with her enemies and avoid suffering such pain every day.

But she had to hold back. She still had a wonderful life ahead of her, and she couldn't be buried with this kind of trash.

She wiped her nose and cried, "I haven't talked to him yet, and I don't know why he complained to me."

Seeing that Hu Meihua didn't believe it, she quickly added: "I'm at home every day. When Xiao Li gets off work, Dad and Guangzong are also back. They all know it."

Chen Datou crossed his legs and ate melon seeds while nodding and saying, "That's right."

Chen Guangzong picked up the peanuts and ate a few of them. He felt that they were not as delicious as before. He looked up and shouted, "Mom, these peanuts are not delicious. I want the same ones as before."

Hu Meihua coaxed him: "Son, that kind is sold out, you can eat this one first, and I will buy you another one tomorrow."

He continued to ask, "What else did he complain about?"

Chen Zhaodi's mind was working furiously, thinking that it was normal for Hu Meihua to know about the fight at noon, but when she was squatting and talking to Xiao Li and Xiao Li stuffed a White Rabbit cigarette into her hand, Yi Zhonghai was mediating.

How many people would have noticed them at that time? And why did Hu Meihua ask her these questions?

The person asking the questions was Hu Meihua, and the person who told her these things was a woman.

Today, for the New Year's Eve dinner, most women stayed at home to prepare the meals and did not come out. Those who came to watch the fun were basically the men who acted like the bosses when they got home, so the scope was narrowed.

It was impossible for the Yan family in the front yard. Aunt Jin, Aunt Wang, and Liu Genniang did not come out. Only Liu Sanya went to the middle yard to take a look.

He Yushui in the Central Courtyard didn't have that thought in mind right now. A lady always followed Yi Zhonghai closely, so it was impossible for her to talk to Hu Meihua. The Zhang family in the ear room never caused trouble, so it was impossible.

The same thing happened to the Xu family in the backyard. The Liu family was not getting along with their own family. The Li family in the west wing of the back house went out in the morning, and the old deaf man did not go out to watch the fun.

After all the calculations, the only people who could say these things to Hu Meihua were the Jia family in the Central Courtyard and Liu Sanya.

Liu Sanya doesn’t have that idea, and Jia Zhangshi doesn’t have that brain, so the only one left is Qin Huairu, who has long had her eyes on Xiao Li!

Qin Huairu!

Chen Zhaodi's hair really stood on end. This woman's observation ability was too strong. In such a chaotic time, she could observe that Xiao Li and her only communicated for no more than a minute?

And then there is someone who is particularly executive and uses Hu Meihua to find out?

As a person full of secrets, Chen Zhaodi is naturally at odds with this kind of people. No, she has to find a way to divert this woman's attention. Otherwise, if one day she is exposed and caught, she will be doomed.

So he pretended to think, and then said carefully: "I also said that Aunt Jia is very good at pretending, and she is very popular, especially Uncle Jia's master. The first master likes her very much. When they were trying to stop the fight, Uncle Jia didn't even move, but she stepped forward to help him. She understands the first master's mind very well."

What she said was not made up. Xiao Li did tell her that Qin Huairu was smart, which meant she was good at pretending. She also really understood the old man's thoughts and helped Aunt Xu up before Jia Dongxu.

Sure enough, after hearing her words, not only did Hu Meihua's eyes widen, but even Chen Datou was stunned. Then, the couple said in unison: "Are you serious? Did Xiao Li really say that?"

After saying this, the couple looked at each other.

Hu Meihua glared at Chen Datou fiercely, raised the knife, and said sinisterly: "You like it too?"
