Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Chen Guangzong shrank in pain and was speechless for a long time. Chen Zhaodi looked at him coldly, then looked at Xiao Li: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Li."

Xiao Li's expression changed, and he looked at Chen Zhaodi, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After moving here for so long, this girl is the only one in this yard who has shown kindness to him and reminded him to be careful in doing things. If it weren't for her reminder, I guess his fate would not be so good now.

Although the current situation is not very good, at least we have the initiative.

Fortunately, this girl reported Chen Datou herself when he was arrested this time, otherwise, she would have been classified as the child of an enemy spy and would have had a terrible future.

However, it was impossible for him to inform the girl in advance because of this. Principles are principles. If something unexpected happened, he could not bear the consequences.

Therefore, in the current situation, he can only try his best to get some benefits for this girl.

He took a breath and said, "Your parents are now..."

Chen Zhaodi interrupted him and said loudly: "Those are not my biological parents. I must have been abducted by them. I have nothing to do with them. They are enemy spies. I just reported them."

Xiao Li was startled, glanced around, and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes."

I want to say something, but I don’t know what to say.

However, Chen Zhaodi had already thought about it. She guessed that Xiao Li must have discovered Chen Datou's whereabouts while investigating his uncle's affairs, and was able to follow the police to arrest Chen Datou. Either he called the police and the police confirmed it, or the police were also investigating Chen Datou and the two sides collided.

Looking at Xiao Li's ruddy complexion and strong body, compared to the thin bodies and pale faces of most of the people around him, it is estimated that Xiao Li has also been checked...

Xiao Li can't stand the investigation...

The result is obvious.

Then you can ask him for help.

She looked at the people around her and whispered, "Brother Li, can I go to your house to talk?"

Xiao Li also looked around, sighed and nodded, then took Chen Zhaodi and walked home.

The old man hesitated and said, "Xiao Li, what's going on today? And Chen Zhaodi, are your parents really enemy spies?"

Xiao Li said seriously: "The case is still being processed. When there is a result, the police and the street office will come to explain it."

Then he said to everyone, "Please make way and let us go out for a while."

Everyone made way for them and watched Xiao Li take Chen Zhaodi home. Then they surrounded Chen's house, waiting to see what the police would find from the search, or what they could find out.

The three old men stood together with sad faces, not knowing what to do.

There were enemy spies hiding in the yard, but they were not discovered. This shows that they have failed in their duty. The street office will definitely hold them accountable when the time comes.

The deaf old lady also came out, leaning on a cane, her mouth tightly closed, looking at the Chen family, no one knew what she was thinking.

Xiao Li's home.

Xiao Li rubbed his head, asked Chen Zhaodi to sit down, and wanted to pour her a glass of water, but he found that there was no water in the bottle. Not only that, the stove had been turned off for a long time.

He looked at Chen Zhaodi awkwardly: "I didn't come back yesterday, and there is nothing left in this house."

Chen Zhaodi waved her hand: "I'm not thirsty, you sit down too."

The two sat opposite each other in silence for a while, and Chen Zhaodi said, "I am not their biological child, and I have always been treated as a slave, either beaten or scolded. Now I have reported them, although the public security comrades will definitely be able to find out that they are enemy spies, but I should have saved the public security comrades time, right? Does this count as a meritorious service?"

Xiao Li quickly said, "Of course. If you hadn't reported it, Hu Meihua might have gotten away. You definitely made a great contribution."

Chen Zhaodi raised her head: "Then, can I live alone from now on?"

Xiao Li hesitated: "In your situation, you should be sent to an orphanage."

Tears slowly flowed from Chen Zhaodi's eyes, and she sobbed and said, "I can live on my own. I can take care of my family in the Chen family. I don't want to go to an orphanage."

She really didn't want to go to an orphanage.

It’s not that I dislike orphanages, but once you enter an orphanage, you have to live a group life with many other children.

Living a collective life, how can she build her own space and use the materials grown in the space to exchange for what she wants?

If she really entered the orphanage, she would have to almost give up running her space if she didn't want to be discovered, but she couldn't bear to do that.

Seeing her crying, Xiao Li panicked and quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Chen Zhaodi, saying, "Don't cry. Let's think of a solution."

Chen Zhaodi refused the handkerchief, wiped her tears with the back of her hand and said, "Little Li, you have lived here for so long, you know I am very capable, and I can read. Chen Guangzong didn't want to do his homework, so he asked me to write it for him. I learned a lot of words through this, so I can really live on my own. Can you help me talk to the police uncles?"

Xiao Li took back the handkerchief, nodded helplessly and said, "I can talk to you about it, but I can't guarantee that I can do it for you. The police need to negotiate with the street office to handle this matter."

Chen Zhaodi understood immediately that Xiao Li had probably revealed a lot, otherwise, how could he have the confidence to speak for her.

Although his actions helped her this time, if she had not discovered the earthen jar in advance, she would have been really harmed by him this time, so it was only right for him to help this time.

She nodded quickly and said gratefully, "It's enough if you can help me talk about it. I don't ask for anything else."

Xiao Li also breathed a sigh of relief. If he could help Chen Zhaodi, he would feel better and would just take it as a way of thanking her for her reminders during this period.

As for Chen Guangzong, neither of them mentioned him.

After talking about the thing on their minds, both of them felt relieved.

"By the way, Zhaodi, I may have to move out soon." Xiao Li looked at this house, his first home in this world. Although he had wanted to move for a long time, he didn't want to move under such circumstances.

Chen Zhaodi pretended to be surprised: "Ah? Why do you want to move? I heard that housing is very tight now. Where you want to move to, is there a good house here?"

Now that he's been exposed, there's no way we can let him live alone in such a mixed place.

Xiao Li said dejectedly: "My new home is a private courtyard with seven rooms and a big yard." But there are people living with him.

Chen Zhaodi pretended not to notice his melancholy look and said enviously, "I'm really envious once you enter the yard. Once you close the door, you're all alone. If you want to eat something, you don't have to worry about the neighbors being envious and gossiping." She didn't mention anything about the per capita living area and level. With seven houses, it was impossible for him to live alone.

Thinking back to the time when he first arrived and all the trouble he had caused just to order some meat, Xiao Li couldn't help but shudder. Suddenly, he felt that the courtyard was indeed very fragrant as soon as he entered it, much more fragrant than this shabby courtyard. So what if there were a few more people? It wouldn't prevent him from eating meat anyway.
