Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

This cellar was obviously used by the villagers to store grain, but now that the village has been converted into a commune, the grain in the commune is stored in the granary, so the cellar is no longer available.

But there are still a few rotten sweet potatoes in the corner of the cellar. The air in the cellar circulates to the outside world relying on a small opening above. You can imagine the smell of the air inside.

After Xu Damao was thrown into the cellar, he almost fainted from the smoke within a few minutes. He opened his mouth and thought about shouting, but his stomach churned and he almost vomited.

At this moment, a ladder stretched out from outside, and the bolt from before climbed down from it, followed by an older, middle-aged man with unpatched clothes, who looked like a leader.

Xu Damao couldn't care less about his nausea at this moment. He walked up to them and shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, you are really mistaken. I am really not the thief you want to catch. I am the projectionist of the steel rolling mill. You If you don’t believe it, you can call our steel rolling mill.”

Hearing this, Yi Zhongdi frowned slightly and turned to look at Shuanzi: "Shuanzi, what's going on? Didn't you tell me that if the thief is caught, I can send him directly to the town to receive his merits? ?"

The stern tone was full of anger. Shuanzi was startled, and he hurriedly bowed his body and explained: "Village chief, you must not believe this guy's words. He was captured by Yi Haimin himself. He is definitely the thief." A thief of food will definitely not go wrong.”

In fact, the reason why Yi Zhongdi suspected that Xu Damao was not a thief was that Xu Damao refused to admit it. More importantly, the guy was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and was said to be riding a bicycle.

How could such a person be a thief?

Yi Zhongdi was hesitant at this time. If he just let Xu Damao go, he would have no way to explain to the town leaders.

Just before going down to the cellar, Yi Zhongdi, who was eager to take credit, had already told the town leaders about the capture of the thief.

If we can't call people now, will the town leaders feel cheated?
As for Xu Damao not being a real thief, Yi Zhongdi was not worried.

After all, this guy was caught in the village. As the deputy village chief, if he said he was a thief, then he must be a thief.

After thinking clearly, Yi Zhongdi said coldly: "Bold thief, things have reached this point. You have already been stolen by all of us, and you still dare to deny it."

Xu Damao originally thought that when the leader came, he would explain a few words and then leave. But now that he heard this, he shivered with fear.

"Whoever gets the stolen goods gets everything"

Yi Zhongdi pointed to the sweet potatoes in the cellar and said coldly: "Boy, weren't you the ones who stole these sweet potatoes from our Yijiazhuang?"

"I stole a few bad sweet potatoes. Leader, these things are inedible at all. Don't be joking." Xu Damao's eyes fell on those sweet potatoes, and he felt that this person's words were extremely ridiculous.

Yi Zhongdi was well prepared and slowly squatted in front of him and said in a cold voice: "That's because, under the leadership of me, the deputy village chief, our village has good security and tight defense. That's why a little thief like you didn't steal anything." Fine grain. It also shows that your moral character is extremely bad, and you even want to steal this kind of food that you cannot eat."

"You" Xu Damao almost cried when he heard this. He felt like Dou E in the play. If he had been outside, he would have dressed up like his wife and sang a few lines at the top of his lungs.

Seeing that Xu Damao was cornered, Yi Zhongdi said with a smile: "But I like you, and I want to help you. I just don't know if you are sensible?"

"Sensible, leader, I have no other merits than being sensible." Full of hope in his heart, Xu Damao nodded eagerly.

He asked urgently: "Leader, what can I do so that you can let me go?"

"Let you go, what good thing are you thinking!" Yi Zhongdi curled his lips and said: "As long as you admit that you are a thief in front of the town leaders, I will not give you any tricks, and I will also help you intercede. Originally, in a situation like yours, you would have been sentenced to at least ten years, but with my mediation, it is estimated that you will be able to come out in two or three years."

Hearing this, Xu Damao realized even though he was slow to react, this guy wanted to take credit for himself and receive the reward.

Xu Damao often did this kind of thing before, but now it was finally his turn.

Xu Damao knew very well that as long as he admitted it, his life would be over and he would definitely not agree.

Seeing that Xu Damao was a bit difficult to deal with, Yi Zhongdi scratched his head depressedly. If this guy was really sent to the town leaders and refused to admit it, things would be in trouble.

Erbangzi rolled his eyes, pulled Yi Zhongdi aside, and whispered: "Village chief, we can send him directly to Walizi in the name of our Yijiazhuang."

"As long as he is not allowed to meet with the town leaders, wouldn't everything be fine?"

Hearing this, Yi Zhongdi's eyes lit up and he kept praising Erbangzi for his brains.

Although Xu Damao didn't hear the conversation between the two, he could see a hint of ominousness in their expressions.

He realized something was wrong, and he just hoped that Qin Jingru would find something unusual and quickly find Wang Weidong.

His eyes turned back to the courtyard.

Because Wang Weidong personally handed over the matter of Xu Damao following Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao reported this matter to Qin Jingru before following Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Jingru didn't take it to heart. After all, in her opinion, Yi Zhonghai was an old man and Xu Damao was young and strong. Even if he was caught following Yi Zhonghai, there would be no danger.

So she hugged the child and slept peacefully.

When the next morning, Qin Jingru felt a little strange when she saw Xu Damao didn't come back. She pretended to be unintentional and walked to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house twice, and found that Yi Zhonghai had come back.

Qin Jingru felt something was wrong at that time, but she also thought that Xu Damao was an unreliable person who liked to play. Maybe he took advantage of the opportunity to go to the countryside to find the old prime minister for fun, so he didn't worry.

It was only when Xu Damao didn't come back during work hours that Qin Jingru realized that something was wrong.

Xu Damao is different now than before.

This guy is now actively demanding progress, and must be on time for work every day, so as not to be recorded in the file due to excessive absenteeism, which will affect his future promotion.

This has never happened.

Qin Jingru left her child with a neighbor and hurried out of the courtyard.

As soon as he walked outside, he met Qin Huairu.

These days, the relationship between Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu has eased a lot, and Qin Huairu often helps Qin Jingru take care of her children.

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Jingru: "Sister, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

Qin Jingru was in a hurry at this time and didn't want to talk to Qin Huairu. She said perfunctorily: "Sister Qin, I have other things to do. I have to leave now. Let's chat when we get back."

As she spoke, she wanted to leave quickly, but was blocked by Qin Huairu.

"Oh, sister, what can you do now? Your job is the announcer in the broadcast room of the steel rolling mill. It is considered a cadre position. You have more than a month of vacation after giving birth. You don't have to go to work now. Xu Damao is now You train him like a third grandson. You ask him to go east, but he doesn't dare to go west." Qin Jingru also realized at this moment that Qin Huairu had something to ask her for.

"Sister Qin, if you have something to say, just tell me."

Qin Huairu chuckled and blushed slightly: "Jingru, your eyes are really bright now. We are cousins. We have been close since childhood and we help each other in this compound, so I won't be polite. , I want to borrow 50 yuan from you."

"50 yuan" Qin Jingru was so shocked that her eyeballs almost fell off. You know, even if she is now in a cadre position, her salary is much higher than that of ordinary workers, but her salary is only 42 yuan.

Qin Huairu had to borrow 50 yuan at a time, which was easy to pay back.

In addition, Qin Jingru knew Qin Huairu very well. This cousin was a master who borrowed money and refused to repay it. If she lent the money to her, it would be like beating a dog with a meat bun and never getting it back.

Qin Jingru's expression instantly became cold, she stared at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, although we are cousins, 50 yuan is too much. Besides, I just gave birth to a child. You also know that raising a child requires money. In order to take care of me and the children these past few months, Xu Damao has not made any extra money, and our family’s life is not easy either, so you’d better ask someone else to borrow it!”

As soon as these words came out, Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned livid.

Since falling out with Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family has lacked support from Yi Zhonghai, and life has become increasingly difficult.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to come up with the idea of ​​letting Yu Qiuhua defraud Yi Zhonghai's family of gold bars.

However, Yu Qiuhua's plan is a long-term plan and cannot be effective in a short period of time.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang have to eat.

So Qin Huairu set her sights on Qin Jingru.

In her opinion, Qin Jingru is her cousin, and she has been taking care of Qin Jingru a lot these days. Qin Jingru should help anyway.

She said coldly, "Jingru, did you touch your conscience before you said this?"

"Sister Qin, what do you mean?" If she doesn't lend money, she will fall out, which makes Qin Jingru completely confused.

Qin Huairu snorted coldly, flipped up her hair, looked at Qin Jingru and said: "Qin Jingru, the reason why you were able to marry Xu Damao was all because of my matchmaking. If I hadn't brought you from the countryside to the capital, how could you have Live a good life today?! Now that you are prosperous and have a better life, you have forgotten me, your great benefactor, do you still have any conscience!"

Qin Jingru didn't expect Qin Huairu to think like this.

Qin Jingru, who should have gone to Xu Damao at this time, was also aroused.

She took Qin Huairu's arm and said, "Qin Huairu, did you really do it for me when you brought me from the countryside to the capital? I'm afraid not necessarily. At the beginning, I did thank you, but later I I found out that the reason why you are so kind is purely to win over Silly Zhu."

"At that time, Shazhu had already started dating someone else. You didn't want to marry Shazhu, and you didn't want Shazhu to leave you. You wanted to squeeze money from Shazhu. That's why you brought me from the countryside."

"Of course, you don't want to see me marry Shazhu, so when Shazhu is satisfied with me, you use an excuse to drive Shazhu away, and then nag about Shazhu's shortcomings around me."

"Forget it. After all, as a young widow, you have a hard life. I can understand it."

"But you left me alone in Silly Zhu's house, and finally let me be deceived by the bad guy Xu Damao."

"Now you have the nerve to say that you are my benefactor, don't you feel blushing?"

Qin Huairu was scolded and was speechless. She could only say hesitantly: "Even if I have my own ideas, you should thank me for staying in the capital after all."

"Really?" Qin Jingru had already broken up with her at this moment and was no longer polite. She crossed her arms and said coldly: "Ever since I married Xu Damao, you have regarded yourself as a benefactor and often come to my house to enjoy the autumn breeze. Xu Damao brought it back. You kid, you've screwed me over a lot. We were sisters at that time, so I didn't care. But later on, when you saw that I was living a good life, you actually wanted to do something bad and separate me from Xu Damao. That's your fault. ”

"I didn't. I'm your cousin. I want you to live a good life, so why would I want to separate you two?" Qin Huairu's face changed drastically and she denied it.

At this time, the quarrel between the two people had already alarmed the residents in the courtyard, and the residents immediately started talking after hearing this.

"Qin Huairu actually wants to break up Qin Jingru and Xu Damao. Is this impossible?"

"Is there anything impossible? Qin Jingru used to be Qin Huairu's little follower. When she was in the village, she followed Qin Huairu's butt all day long. Qin Huairu still looked down on her, but since she married in the capital, no matter it is Life and reputation in the compound are better than Qin Huairu's, so Qin Huairu is naturally dissatisfied."

"Qin Huairu is a woman who likes to be jealous of others."

"You have forgotten the Liu Hua from before."

When Liu Hua was mentioned, the residents in the compound all expressed regret.

Liu Hua is the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family, a fitter who lives in the backyard.

When she lived in the courtyard, one flower in the courtyard was more beautiful than Qin Huairu.

Moreover, this girl is a female worker in a textile factory, has a grain background, and has a junior high school education. No matter how you look at it, she will crush Qin Huairu.

After Qin Huairu married into the courtyard, she immediately realized that she was being threatened. She first took the opportunity to build a good relationship with Liu Hua and win Liu Hua's trust.

Then one day, while playing at Liu Hua's house, he secretly stole Liu Hua's clothes and threw them at Guang Gangzi's house in the compound next door.

The naked man himself was a bit naive. After he recognized Liu Hua's clothes, he actually gave them back to Liu Hua in front of the residents of the compound.

Liu Hua's husband Xiao Zhang was also present at the time.

He was slapped hard in public.

After driving away the bare pole, Xiao Zhang had a big quarrel with Liu Hua that night.

Liu Hua felt wronged and was unwilling to admit his mistake. Xiao Zhang was also a stubborn person and filed for divorce at that time.

Liu Hua felt that he had been wronged, so he agreed immediately, divorced Xiao Zhang directly, and left the compound.

Xiao Zhang felt something was wrong after the incident and wanted to make things right, but it was already too late. Later, because of sadness, he left the capital.

This matter was originally very secret, until Jia Dongxu got drunk once, and it came out.
