Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

The next day, Lin Baoyan went to the police station.

"Are you Public Security Officer Wang? Are you the only one with the surname Wang in the station?"

Lin Baoyan looked at the young policeman in front of her in surprise, but he was not the person she met last year.

Not knowing what the problem was, Lin Baoyan certainly didn't dare to mention the matter of Chen Datou, so she had to bring up what happened last night and ask about it.

"A thief broke into my house yesterday. I came here today to see if there is any news about the thief. I am worried until the thief is caught."

Public Security Wang comforted her: "Little comrade, don't worry. Although we haven't caught the thief yet, we will increase patrols at night. Don't be afraid. The thief won't dare to go there again."

No matter what she thought in her heart, Lin Baoyan looked relieved. She said goodbye to Wang Gongan and left.

She couldn't figure it out for a long time.

It was clearly Wang Gongan who told her about the Chen Datou couple last year, so how come this person no longer exists this year?

Or, because of Chen Datou?

When I returned to the compound, from the moment I entered the yard, many people asked me questions with concern.

"Baoyeon, did you see the thief yesterday?"

"You're asking stupid questions. If you had seen it, you would have told me yesterday. Baoyan, how did you happen to see the thief?"

"Well, Baoyan is just lucky. If she had found out too late yesterday, she would have been doomed. In my opinion, Baoyan got into trouble because she lives alone. Otherwise, Baoyan, I will stay with you for a few days. It will be more reassuring to have someone to keep you company."

"Bah, what are you looking at? Don't you know? Baoyan, don't listen to her. Just set up a table at the door at night. There's no point in having someone accompany you."

"That's right, let someone accompany you. Don't let them accompany you and the whole house as well."

"Yes, the abacus is working, and you can hear it from a long distance away."

"Bah, what was I planning? I was only thinking about Baoyan's own good, but why is it that it's no good when it comes to you guys? Oh, you don't want good things, so you think I'm the same as you."

Lin Baoyan smiled awkwardly, then quickly rushed to the backyard, sweating profusely as she ran. She thought, these old ladies are not to be trifled with.

After returning home, Lin Baoyan calmed down and began to think about what happened in the police station.

Something is really wrong. Last year, Wang Gongan went to talk to her about Chen Datou and his wife more than once. Why is this person not there when she went this year?

Although she didn't ask so clearly, the police officer's reaction was there.

What went wrong?

Lin Baoyan now began to regret that she did not study well in her previous life and did not get into high school. When she went out to work, she was busy reading novels and watching videos. If she could learn more knowledge and broaden her horizons, would she be able to understand now what was going on?

Now it is the next life, so she has to study hard and not be confused about everything anymore.

In the middle of the morning, He Yuzhu brought his bride, followed by Yu Shui, and happily went from house to house delivering wedding candies. Lin Baoyan, who knew the news in advance, followed them to watch the fun.

How many people will be upset when Sha Zhu gets married.

"Oh my, Silly Zhu, you're really fast. You had a blind date yesterday and you're getting married today?"

"Hehe, with our level and speed, if you like me, we can get married right away." He spoke casually and grabbed a handful of candy.

"Silly Zhu's bride is so beautiful."

"Like a fairy."

"This must be the most beautiful one in Nanluoguxiang."

"Haha~ That's right, when I look for a wife, I have to find the most beautiful one."

Sha Zhu was so happy that he bared his teeth and generously grabbed an extra handful of candy.

"Silly Zhu, where did you find your wife? Tomorrow, I will find someone as beautiful as her."

"Forget it, my wife is so beautiful, one of a kind, stop imagining things."

"you."

He Sanmei tugged at He Yuzhu's sleeve and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness. I am nothing but a country girl. You are all from the city, so of course we should find a girl who has been educated and has a job in the city."

"That's true. With two working couples, life at home is much easier."

"That's right. What's the point of being good-looking? You can't earn money and you can't do any work. You just eat for free. It's completely useless." Jia Zhang said sourly.

Some time ago, someone from the countryside brought a message saying that the policy had changed. Even if one had a household registration, one would not be able to get food rations if one did not work. Now, all the food rations that she and Qin Huairu had received for free would be gone.

Jia Zhang looked at He Sanmei's face, which was much prettier than her own daughter-in-law's, and felt very jealous, and said some unpleasant things.

"Shazhu, how much do your wife's family ask for in betrothal gifts? You look like this, and your wife is so beautiful, you must have spent all your family's wealth to marry her."

He Yuzhu paused grabbing the candy, and said with barely suppressed anger: "Mother-in-law Jia, I didn't offend you, did I? I'm getting married today, and I don't expect you to say anything festive, so why don't you keep a mouth?"

He Sanmei narrowed her eyes, then softened them again, and asked softly, "Zhu Zi, who is this auntie?"

When He Yuzhu was called by his wife, his expression immediately changed into a dog face: "Oh, just a neighbor, let's go to the next one."

Seeing that the newlyweds were about to go to another house, Jia Zhang immediately grabbed He Yuzhu's clothes and said, "Hey, hey, hey, silly Zhu, where are the candies at home? You haven't given them to me yet."

"What do you mean your candy? Go find it at your home. Why are you asking me for anything?" He Yuzhu shook off Jia Zhangshi and walked downstairs. He Sanmei smiled at Jia Zhangshi and followed him.

Lin Baoyan raised her eyebrows at He Yushui: Are you satisfied with such a sister-in-law?

He Yushui also raised his eyebrows: My sister-in-law is very capable, and our family is not at a disadvantage.

Jia Zhang was not willing to give up and immediately started to cry out: "This is terrible, this is bullying, everyone else's family gave out candy, but not my family, what are you thinking, Old Jia, please take them away quickly, they are being bullied to death."

He Yuzhu was so angry that he threw the bag of candy in his hand and was about to hit someone angrily.

I'm getting married and you let Lao Jia take me away. If I continue to tolerate it, I'm not a human being!

Qin Huairu saw that things were not going well, so she quickly ran forward to stop them: "Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, my mom is just used to yelling, she really didn't mean it, you are a magnanimous person, please don't take it seriously, I apologize to you."

He Yuzhu's mind was full of anger. He swung his hand and Qin Huairu staggered.

Not only was Qin Huairu stunned, but Jia Zhang also shrank back in fear.

What did she rely on to summon the spirit in front of Sha Zhu? Wasn't it because the elder brother could stop Sha Zhu? If the elder brother wasn't there, Qin Huairu would be fine. Anyway, as long as one of these two people was there, she would be fine.

But what's going on now? Is Qin Huairu useless?

After only two steps, He Yuzhu arrived in front of Jia Zhangshi, clenched his fist and was about to hit her. He Sanmei, who was following behind, shouted, "Zhuzi, don't do it. It's unlucky."

Then he said to the stunned Qin Huairu: "Sister-in-law, I hope my Zhuzi didn't hurt you. I'm really sorry. But, your aunt is too... This is really..."

There was no need to wait for He Yuzhu's reaction during the whole process.

Lin Baoyan, who was picking up bags of candy behind, gave He Yushui a thumbs up.
