Chapter 322: Discredited
The old man nodded and turned to walk across the courtyard. Seeing this, Wang Wenhui and another member of the Military Control Commission did not stay for too long and immediately left the courtyard with the documents.
Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi felt mixed emotions at this time, extremely unbearable. Yi Zhonghai shook his hands and went back to the house, as if to avoid some questions; Jia Zhangshi wanted to say something, but in the end she just shut up and dragged her son who seemed to have lost his soul back with her.
Seeing that there was nothing to watch, the other residents living in the middle courtyard also discussed for a few words and then went home. When Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, his emotions were almost out of control, but he was afraid that the neighbors would hear him, so he did not destroy the house. At the Jia family, Jia Zhang cursed in a low voice as soon as she entered the door, fearing that someone would hear her. And Jia Dongxu just sat there blankly... It all finally calmed down.
As for the calculations and plans for the future, only those scheming people know...
In the courtyard, Qin Huairu was still sitting in the living room sobbing silently, as if her emotions had not yet completely calmed down. Even though she had made a decision, such emotions were not so easy to dissipate after all. Fortunately, she did not regret it.
She had learned a lot from the old man during this period, which made her character stronger, so she made such a decisive decision today. Xu Lingyun didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side.
After returning to his room, the old man thought for a moment and said, "Huai Ru, what are your plans for the future?"
Qin Huairu looked up at him and said, "Grandpa Liang, I want to serve you all my life, just like a family member, is that okay?"
After hearing this, the old man laughed, "Haha, of course! I have another daughter."
When Qin Huairu saw that the old man agreed, she wiped away her tears and smiled, and a huge stone in her heart fell.
The old man then suggested: "Why don't you be my goddaughter?"
Xu Lingyun beside her was also happy. "Okay, stop crying, you should be happy!"
Qin Huairu nodded slightly, but looked at the old man awkwardly, "903", (probably referring to the time or some special emotion)
"Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it boldly!" said the old man.
So, Qin Huairu quickly asked: "Can I be your goddaughter instead?"
The old man was stunned, and then he seemed to be thinking about something.
However, Xu Lingyun at the side had understood what was going on. She smiled and praised, "Huai Ru is really thoughtful."
The old man understood and happily agreed. "Okay! We will become father and daughter. I'll find some old friends to witness this in a few days."
Finally, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that he would have a goddaughter at such an old age. I really need to tell that young man Su Yang the good news."
At this time, Qin Huairu's face was already red with shame.
At this time, He Yushui said, "Should I call her Sister Qin or Aunt Qin?" The three of them couldn't help but laugh. Xu Lingyun continued, "Let's call her Aunt Qin from now on."
In the afternoon, when the men got off work and went home, they learned about what happened in the morning and started to discuss it. Old Liu, Old Yan and others did not expect Qin Huairu to be so tough. They also despised the actions of Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family. My goodness, are they going to force Qin Huairu to get married? This family is really overestimating their own abilities. As for Qin Dashan and his son, everyone felt speechless. It is better to sever relations with such parents and brothers, otherwise life will be difficult.
After hearing the news, He Daqing's first thought was to make trouble for the old man Yi Zhonghai. This guy secretly went to the Qin family father and son in the guesthouse last night, which completely ignored him. However, under Xu Lingyun's persuasion, "Forget it, don't make trouble now that the matter has been resolved." Although He Daqing was still a little unconvinced, "How could I make trouble? Yi Zhonghai really needs to be taught a lesson, and Jia Zhang is disgusting." But in the end he listened to his wife's advice and stopped pursuing the matter. The family walked into the cross courtyard.
It happened that the old man was also looking there. He smiled and said to He Daqing, "Xiao He, I'm going to set up a few tables in a few days and invite some old friends to witness it. How about you helping out in the kitchen then?" He Daqing patted his chest and agreed, "Okay, we're discussing this." He asked, "Do you plan to hold it in our courtyard or somewhere else?" The old man said, "Let's go back to Zhengyangmen. Please help me invite Xiao Liu, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xu and others." He Daqing nodded and agreed to go back and get the matter done.
There was nothing to say that night. The next morning.
The yard was still peaceful, and what happened the day before did not affect normal life.
But when the men were getting ready for work, several women wearing red armbands came into the yard. Yan Bugui came forward and greeted them: "Excuse me, who are you..."
The leading woman said, "We are the Women's Federation."
"Comrade Wang told us about some of the things that happened here - arranged marriages, ** women's situations must be severely cracked down. Although the military control comrades will deal with it later, the Women's Federation must follow up to understand. May I ask where the Jia and Yi families live specifically, and where is Qin Huairu?"
These words scared Yan Bugui and other neighbors. After all, many of them had participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and most of the men in their families were GM fighters.
The Wang family next door answered enthusiastically, "Comrades, I'll lead the way. The Jia and Yi families are in the middle courtyard." They led a few people from the Women's Federation over and explained, "The wing rooms over here are the Yi and Jia families. Qin Huairu lives across the courtyard. Do you need me to call her?"
An old lady from the Women's Federation waved her hand to express her gratitude, and then the group split into three groups: one group went to Jia's house, and the other two groups went to Yi's house and the cross-courtyard to deal with the situation respectively.
The leading lady knocked on the door of Jia's house and asked, "Who is it? It's so early in the morning."
In fact, Jia Zhang had already seen this group of people coming. Seeing their aggressive attitude, she panicked and tried to avoid them.
However, they came to the door directly and said, "Open the door, we are from the Women's Federation, and we are here to deal with your forced marriage yesterday."
"No, no, how could this happen? It was the Qin family who tried to marry into our family's upper class. I didn't put any pressure on them." She explained hastily.
"Open the door quickly, there's no point hiding inside. If you're willing to open the door, we can talk it over. Otherwise, hmph!"
Jia Zhang had no choice but to open the door. Immediately, the comrades from the Women's Federation severely criticized the Jia family and warned them that if they harassed Qin Huairu again, they would be arrested. Jia Zhang quickly promised not to bother Qin Huairu again, which satisfied the people from the Women's Federation.
However, when preparing to leave, Jia Zhang seemed to have an idea. "Comrade, that... old man Liang from Kuayuan exploited the people and ** Qin Huairu as his servant. I heard that this kind of thing is illegal now."
Hearing this, the comrades from the Women's Federation looked gloomy and said, "We will deal with this matter seriously." Then they left the Jia family.
Jia Zhang stood in front of the window, looking proudly at the Women's Federation comrades walking towards the cross-courtyard in a menacing manner. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also received a few lectures, although not too harsh, but Yi Zhonghai still felt humiliated and wanted to crawl into the ground.
Next, all the comrades from the Women's Federation came to the cross-courtyard. After seeing Qin Huairu, they first asked about what happened yesterday. Qin Huairu didn't want to make a big fuss, so she just said that the matter was over. Since she didn't want to pursue it, the comrades from the Women's Federation naturally didn't want to investigate it further.
Then, they asked who was the owner of this courtyard. The old man hesitated a little, but he stood up and said, "Comrades, I am the owner of this house."
The comrade from the Women's Federation asked directly, "Why do you let Qin Huairu be your servant?" and pointed out that this practice was unacceptable. However, the old man seemed calm and said, "What kind of servant is this? Qin Huairu is my goddaughter. I am almost 70 years old, so why not find a goddaughter to take care of me?"
Under the questioning gaze, the old man returned to his room and fetched a document of recognition of kinship, which had signatures and witnesses on it. "This is the certification document, please check it."
The staff of the Women's Federation carefully reviewed it and confirmed with Qin Huairu again, "Comrade Qin Huairu, please confirm that this is your own will and no one forced you, right?"
Qin Huairu answered affirmatively: "It is indeed voluntary."
Then the comrades from the Women's Federation found the witnesses He Daqing and his wife to confirm it, and they both confirmed it.
Seeing that everything was correct, the comrade from the Women's Federation nodded and said, "Okay! If you did it voluntarily, we have nothing to say." After that, she led everyone away.
As for Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai's family, they lost their reputation in Nanluoguxiang from then on. Their behavior made people avoid them, especially Jia Dongxu from the Jia family. Even the country people fled when they heard the news, not to mention the city.
As for Yi Zhonghai, he felt like he had suffered an inexplicable disaster and lost all face. Fortunately, he knew how to maintain his image, and as long as he had enough time, he could gradually restore his reputation. At the same time, his inner desire for revenge was gradually growing.
Su Yang, who was in the courtyard, knew nothing about this. Occasionally, he would receive letters from home, but these letters only reported good news and not bad news. The same was true for the letters he sent back home. It was probably the same for He Yuzhu and the others, as long as everyone was safe.
Since Su Yang left the special operations team, He Yuzhu and others have been under the direct command of the general. Considering that Su Yang has been fighting on the eastern front, they were transferred to the western front. It must be admitted that under Zhang Yang's leadership, this group of guys performed quite well.
With the accumulation of combat experience, Ergou, He Yuzhu and others gradually grew into independent figures, and their tacit understanding with each other became better and better, and they made many military achievements.
As for Su Yang, since he was bound to that card, he no longer went into battle as often as before. Although every time he participated in the battle, it would bring great help to the friendly forces, he was only one person after all, and the entire battlefield was so large that he could not split himself to support every place.
After some thought, Su Yang decided to serve as the logistics director. Therefore, during the Battle of Changjin Lake, his main job was to deliver supplies to various troops. When the supply of weapons was insufficient, he would also organize raids on the enemy's logistics transport units, obtain a large amount of supplies and then distribute them to various troops.
