Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

The guests who had attended the banquet had been seen off one after another. Now, apart from the families in the courtyard helping to clean up and pack up the food, Zhang Renjia and Wang Anan were accompanying Yu Li to pack up the gift lists and account books that had come in today. In the living room, Zhang Yuhua and Zhao Xiujuan were teaching Zhang Renkang a lesson on the sofa in Zhang Renkang's house.

Lou Xiao'e also did not attend the wedding banquet. It was unknown what she and Yu Li said to each other. Zhang Renkang left before the banquet started. Zhang Yuhua lit a Daqianmen cigarette, tapped it against the tin box on the table and said,

"Renkang, you are married now, have a family and are an adult now. I need to talk to you about something."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Second uncle, you have something to say, why are you so serious?"

Zhang Yuhua looked at Zhang Renkang unhappily and continued

"Where do you get all that stuff you get for the steel mills and textile factories?"

Zhang Renkang's hair stood on end when he heard this. He stared at Zhang Yuhua, not understanding how this second uncle knew this. Zhang Yuhua then said disdainfully:

"You don't think that the things you did won't be found out, do you?"

"The food standards at your steel mill are so good, do you think the higher-ups won't be suspicious or do Li Huaide and Yang Weiguo dare to hide it? Or do you think Zhao Jianjun and the Zhao family aren't curious?"

"I heard you got this from Yanshan? How come I didn't know that so many things were missing from my logistics warehouse?"

"My damn soldiers have never had such a sumptuous meal."

"How do you explain it, kid?"

Zhang Renkang was sweating profusely and stammering, not knowing what to say. Suddenly he asked

"Second uncle, how is this handled?"

Zhang Yuhua said unhappily

"I know you're scared. Now I'll take responsibility for it. Just say we gave you part of it, and you got the rest from the black market. But I'm curious about what kind of black market could get you so much meat?"

Zhang Renkang breathed a sigh of relief and asked

"Second Uncle, the higher-ups won't continue to investigate me, right?"

Zhang Yuhua snorted coldly and said

"What's the point of you worrying about the future now? When you were brave, you were not afraid. You even kept concubines on Qianmen Street. Where did you learn these bureaucratic practices?"

Zhang Renkang was stunned again. It made sense. If he wanted to check, would he not be able to find Qin Jingru? After all, there was a lot that could be seen about his relationship with Qin Jingru. At least Zhao Jianjun knew about it, and maybe Li Huaide also knew about it.

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly

"I'm just a nobody. There's no need for you to waste so much energy on me, right?"

Zhang Yuhua groaned and said

"A small person? He is a deputy director of the Red Star Steel Mill, a deputy chairman of the Ideological Committee, and a member of one of the largest factories in the heavy industry sector. How can he be a small person if he can get supplies from the black market?"

"If I didn't know your background and resume, and knew that you were my nephew, it would be impossible for you to have any connection with that place. Do you think the National Security Bureau wouldn't look for you?"

Zhang Renkang sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Second uncle, the National Security Bureau is still watching me? If so, does that mean I have to run away?"

Zhang Yuhua said

"The person in charge of your case at the National Security Bureau is my old subordinate. He came to ask me about it after knowing that you are my nephew."

"Let me ask you, do you know where this material comes from?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head. His supplies were obtained from space. How could he explain it clearly?

"They definitely won't tell me this. We hide our identities when doing business. Besides, they don't ask who we are giving it to. They just leave the goods in the open space in the north of the city and wait for us to pick them up and pay the money."

Zhang Yuhua said

"The National Security Bureau checked all farms and communes within a dozen kilometers of Sijiu City. Although some of the lost items are missing, they cannot be completely matched with your items. I'm afraid these items of yours are not from the surrounding areas of Sijiu City."

"But luckily I admit that I allocated a portion of the military supplies to you to raise funds for soldier training. This debt is on you. You must prepare at least 60,000 yuan to make up for it."

Zhang Yuhua deliberately raised this difficult question to see how much money Zhang Renkang had. He looked at the files and estimated that the amount of materials Zhang Renkang traded to the steel mill was more than 100,000 yuan, and even the textile factory was almost 10,000 yuan. However, Zhang Yuhua and Guoan could not understand why the price Zhang Renkang gave was even much lower than the normal price of materials on the black market. They were losing money in the transaction? This was not just speculation, but supporting national construction. If they did not understand this matter and Zhang Yuhua admitted that the materials were his, Guoan would have arrested Zhang Renkang long ago.

Zhang Renkang suddenly had an idea. Guoan definitely didn't find any evidence of his guilt. First of all, the materials came from space, and they couldn't find the shipper. Secondly, he never really participated in the transaction, but was just a middleman. And Zhang Yuhua was here. Guoan would never dare to arrest him without sufficient evidence.

Zhang Renkang deliberately worried

"Uncle, you are embarrassing me. I was just buying some meat in Pigeon Market to satisfy my craving. I met a middleman who called himself Mr. Kang. Plus, the factory was really short of supplies at the time, so I asked them if they could trade with the factory."

"We were in that abandoned little factory one kilometer north of the city at night. They would contact me whenever I went there to place a few stones. How would I know who they were or where they came from?"

"Besides, they wouldn't play with me in a real deal. I was just a messenger. I just pretended to be familiar with them to scare Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide."

"I get a commission of 200 yuan for each transaction, and it's all sent to me by them."

"I only have 4,000 or 5,000 yuan on hand right now, plus today's gift money, which is just over 10,000 yuan. Where can I get 70,000 yuan?"

Zhang Yuhua stared at Zhang Renkang for a long time, and Zhang Renkang looked at Zhang Yuhua without fear. After a while, Zhang Yuhua nodded and said seriously

"Do you think you can get away with it so easily? Luckily you were purchasing for the factory and the price was not outrageous, so it didn't go into your own pocket. Otherwise, the National Security Bureau would have arrested you long ago."

"I'm too lazy to ask whether what you said is true or not. Just remember to tell it the same thing no matter who asks you. Do you understand?"

Zhang Renkang nodded, knowing that this hurdle had been passed. Zhang Yuhua then said

"What's the matter with the little beauty you kept in the Lou family courtyard on Qianmen Street? When did you get in touch with the Lou family? And it seems like you guys are quite familiar with this Lou Xiao'e today?"

Zhang Renkang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had already solved the problem of the quadrangle courtyard.

"Lou Xiao'e was originally the wife of Xu Damao, a resident of the backyard. We had known each other for two or three years. We were both familiar with each other in the backyard. In addition, Lou Xiao'e had a good personality. Xu Damao and I had a good relationship at the time. We called each other sister-in-law every day, so it was normal for us to get to know each other better."

"We haven't had much contact since Lou Xiao'e divorced and left. I was quite surprised that she came today."

"This Qin Jingru is the cousin of Qin Huairu from the Jia family in the Central Courtyard. After the Jia family and I had a falling out last year, Qin Jingru came to the courtyard for some reason at the end of October and tried to get close to me. Later I learned that the Jia family wanted to introduce her to me to ease the relationship so that they could eat at the rich family's house. But this girl doesn't have a good relationship with the Jia family either, so she came to me and wanted to move out."

"I helped him find a house right there, but it was not rented from the Lou family, but from an old man named Li. He said it was his house, and the rent and the initial living expenses were lent to Qin Jingru by me."

“There was no Yu Li at that time.”

Zhang Yuhua asked suspiciously

"That's all? You and her don't have anything else?"

Zhang Renkang smiled bitterly

"What could it be? She liked me and wanted to marry me. At that time, I was already dating Yu Li. The condition was that I helped her find a job, and she would stop pestering me and cut off all ties with the Jia family."

"Look, when I got married, Lou Xiao'e came, but she didn't come either."

"Yu Li knows about this. I even arranged for her to work for Zhao Jianjun. Doesn't Yu Li's father work there? I wouldn't arrange for my concubine to work under my father-in-law's nose, would I?"

Zhang Yuhua thought about it and it seemed to be true. Guoan found out that Zhang Renkang had taken Qin Jingru to the mall and had roast duck and Donglaishun last year, but they really didn't find any substantial relationship between Zhang Renkang and Qin Jingru.

Zhang Yuhua said

"It's right that you think so. Style is not a joke. If you make a big fuss, I may not be able to protect you. If something happens to you, how will I explain to your father?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said,

"Don't worry, should I just cut ties with them regarding the supplies and just ignore them?"

Zhang Yuhua said

"Let me think about it. You should not have any dealings with them recently, so that the National Security Bureau won't find you again."

"But I don't know where they got all these things from, their identities are probably not ordinary, and there are probably people protecting them. Forget it, this is a headache for the National Security Bureau."

"Just live your life honestly. I've been feeling a little uneasy lately, whether it's in the local area or the army. Be careful not to get involved and get screwed. You just need to keep a low profile and do your job well."

Zhang Renkang nodded. It seemed that the higher-ups had already started to rectify the thinking of the grassroots and the military. No wonder the gun was no longer stable. They didn't dare to do it nationwide, or else they would be restored if they were not careful. Who knew if there were any traces of those people in the army?
