Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Xiao Li felt uneasy at home.

This afternoon, everyone in the compound gave him a strange feeling. When he went to ask, everyone looked at him in a way that said, "Don't you know everything?" "Why do you still want to ask?" This made him feel uneasy, as if something serious was about to happen.

When he saw Chen Zhaodi going out, he remembered her reminder at noon on New Year's Eve, and felt that if he went to ask her, he should be able to tell her what happened.

So he stood by the window, and after finally seeing Chen Zhaodi go out, he quickly followed her.

When they were far away from the yard, Xiao Li quickly caught up with Chen Zhaodi: "Zhaodi, Zhaodi, wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Chen Zhaodi stopped at the sound of the shouting, turned around, and looked at Xiao Li who was walking towards her quickly with a puzzled look on her face.

"Brother Li, what's the matter?"

Xiao Li looked around, took Chen Zhaodi's arm, and walked towards an empty alley on the side. Chen Zhaodi did not struggle and followed him.

Xiao Li looked at Chen Zhaodi, rubbed his hands, pretended to take out a handful of White Rabbits from his pocket, stuffed them into Chen Zhaodi's pocket, and then said, "Xiao Zhaodi, Happy New Year."

Chen Zhaodi helplessly grabbed the White Rabbit candy and deliberately raised her head hesitantly and said, "Brother Li, this candy is very expensive, I haven't seen it in the supply and marketing cooperative, and I haven't heard of anyone in the yard eating it."

Xiao Li was anxious to find out what was going on in the yard, so he casually said, "This is made in Shanghai, it's rare here. By the way, I have something to ask you, which is..."

Chen Zhaodi quickly stuffed the White Rabbit in her hand back and interrupted him, saying, "It's made in Shanghai. It's so rare here. You don't know how much money you spent to get it. I can't have it. If you want to treat me to candy, just buy fruit candy."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment when his hands were filled with White Rabbit cookies.

Chen Zhaodi deliberately said, "My mother worked at Guomian No. 1, and the children of their leaders rarely had the chance to eat this kind of Shanghai milk candy, which looked so expensive."

This is considered to be an explicit statement, I think you should be able to understand it.

Xiao Li shuddered and quickly stuffed the White Rabbit back into his pocket, saying embarrassedly: "Well, I'll bring you some egg cakes and biscuits later. These are sold everywhere."

Chen Zhaodi then nodded and said, "Brother Li, what do you want to ask?"

"What happened in the yard these days? Why does everyone look so nervous? They won't tell me anything even after I asked them." Xiao Li looked at Chen Zhaodi expectantly.

Chen Zhaodi wondered whether she should tell him that it was she who first used his name to talk nonsense, which led to this absurd rumor.

But, if we really want to talk about it, isn't it her fault that she should be responsible for cleaning it up? She is still young, her arms and legs are not strong, and she needs a tall person to support her.

So she decided to make some deletions and revisions.

"On the 30th, after you left, my mom ran into Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu told my mom that I had been grumbling to you for a long time, and then you gave me two handfuls of delicious food. Then, my mom went home and robbed me..."

"Wait, you said, your mother confiscated the White Rabbit iPhone I gave you?" Xiao Li interrupted Chen Zhaodi.

Xiao Li had understood the problem with White Rabbit before, and when he heard that Hu Meihua had taken the White Rabbit away, he immediately became anxious.

Chen Zhaodi shook her head and said, "I have already replaced the White Rabbit with a handful of peanuts. I have hidden all the candies well."

Only then did Xiao Li touch his forehead. He was scared to death just now.

At the same time, he decided that he would never take this thing out again. Oh, and those rare and expensive things on the market could not be taken out either. After all, his identity and background did not allow him to do so.

Fortunately, when he returned to the countryside, he did not take out the White Rabbit because he had no close relationship with the people in the village except the party secretary's family, and the party secretary's family did not have any children, so the situation is easy to deal with now.

Thinking again, Hu Meihua realized that it was Qin Huairu who reminded her, and immediately all her resentment was directed at Qin Huairu.

This woman is probably a ghost that is haunting him. She wants to cheat him no matter what she does.

From now on, anyone who dares to talk about wanting to sleep with Aunt Thirteen can go to hell with it. How can you mess with a woman like this?

I swore in my heart, calmed myself down, and continued to ask. "Did your mother ask you anything else later?"

Chen Zhaodi nodded: "My mother asked me, when did you become so familiar with me, and what did you secretly tell me."

"Then what did you say?" Xiao Li brought it up again.

Chen Zhaodi deliberately said blankly: "I don't know you well, what can I say to you? It's just that you don't like Aunt Jia, so I hummed a few words along with you, and you were happy, so you gave me peanuts."

Xiao Li blinked his eyes, and watched Chen Zhaodi lie unceasingly, not knowing what to say.

"So what did everyone talk about today?" Xiao Li thought of what he wanted to know most and asked.

Chen Zhaodi showed a little apology on her face. Xiao Li's heart skipped a beat, and he pointed at himself and said in disbelief: "Could it be related to me?"

Chen Zhaodi nodded silently.

"Tell me quickly, what does this have to do with me?"

Chen Zhaodi said hesitantly: "Actually, actually, this has something to do with me."

Xiao Li's eyes widened.

"Well, well, didn't my mom ask you what you said? I said you just whispered bad things about Aunt Jia to me, and my mom thought you two were at odds again. After all, the relationship between your two families has never been good."

"My mother asked me what bad things you said about her, and I said, you said she was too... oh, right, she's good at pretending, trying to please a big shot, and making decisions for her family."

Xiao Li doesn't remember what he said at that time. He just remembers that he was scared, and there was nothing wrong with what Zhaodi said.

"My mother later told the other aunts in the courtyard about this matter. Later, I don't know how, it spread that your family is close to Aunt Jia's hometown, and before Aunt Jia married into our courtyard, she discovered that Aunt Jia had a relationship with the eldest uncle."

"Later, you moved in, and Uncle Jia complained to you. Aunt Jia wanted to kick you out and spread rumors about you everywhere. You were so angry that you told everyone about her affair with the uncle."

"Brother Li, are you really very close to Aunt Jia's hometown?"

Xiao Li listened and his eyes gradually widened. In the end, he felt that he didn't understand what these words were saying. He just felt who he was, where he was, and what he should do.

Then, it became easy to understand those inexplicable things those people said to me this afternoon.

It seems that he also contributed a lot to this rumor?

Xiao Li came back to his senses and saw that Chen Zhaodi was still waiting for his answer. He closed his eyes, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, it is indeed close."

But he denied it: "I never said that she had any relationship with Yi Zhonghai. I didn't even know about it."

Chen Zhaodi nodded in understanding and said, "I know. You just came back. It's impossible that you said that."

Then he continued worriedly, "But now that the news has spread like this, what should Aunt Jia do? If Grandma Jia finds out, her family will be ruined. If Aunt Jia is driven back, she will definitely not survive."

Xiao Li was also at a loss. He didn't know what to do about this kind of thing.

But we can't just watch people fall apart and die.
