Chapter 416

Sixteen or seventeen women who spent all day doing household chores, inspired by Qin Huairu becoming a group leader, spontaneously formed a Siheyuan Reform-and-Rectify Supervision Brigade, and all sixteen or seventeen women became team captains.

As for the team members,

Sorry.

Just Er Da Ma alone.

Some even specially proposed to go to Qin Huairu to learn from her, to see how she dealt with Liu Haizhong, so they could emulate her in educating and helping Er Da Ma.

They also resented Er Da Ma for having offended these people too much.

Today they put on airs all day.

The neighbors who mistakenly thought Liu Haizhong would be reinstated to his official post, fearing he would hold a grudge, rushed to curry favor with Er Da Ma.

They wanted to become officials successfully.

Otherwise, let it be.

It's not that they didn't want to become officials successfully; the resentment from being bullied by Liu Haizhong and the anger at being deceived by Er Da Ma combined, forming a unified thought of revenge against Er Da Ma.

The neighbors all wanted to give Er Da Ma a stern education.

Let her know.

Who has the final say in the siheyuan.

With a clamor, they swarmed toward Qin Huairu's house in the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu, who had just finished her work inside, was in a daze, thinking about today's events, her whole body filled with intense excitement.

She still couldn't believe it.

She, a widow cursed and looked down upon by several people, had actually become an official one day.

The Know-Mistake-Correction Rectification Small Group.

Although the name isn't very pleasant.

But it is still an official position.

Just thinking about today, directing Liu Haizhong to do those things, Qin Huairu felt a sense of pride welling up from within, and a hint of happy pleasure involuntarily showed at the corners of her mouth.

Amidst her wandering thoughts.

She heard footsteps approaching.

Her heart jumped up to her throat.

Not knowing what had happened, she worried someone would find an excuse to put a feces-filled chamber pot on her head—this was Liu Haizhong's favorite tactic when he was team captain.

Qin Huairu well knew the fate of being given a dirty hat.

Just as she was bewildered by the sudden crowd, the leading woman, smiling, spoke to Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, there's nothing else—just heard you became a group leader at the steel mill, specifically tasked with educating Liu Haizhong. We thought we had nothing to do, and there's still a big villain in the courtyard; we should help this villain, come learn from you some advanced experience."

They thought a little.

Qin Huairu then knew who the notorious person the neighbors were talking about was.

Liu Haizhong's wife was Er Da Ma.

The daytime matter.

They also heard about it.

Er Da Ma mistakenly thought Liu Haizhong could be reinstated to his official post, and within the compound she ordered the neighbors around like servants.

If it were her, Qin Huairu.

They also needed to find trouble for Er Da Ma.

The heart suspended in midair.

It landed.

They smiled.

"Learning? Not really. What we're doing is mutual progress. I, Qin Huairu, will tell you everything I know—no holding back. Don't worry I'll hide anything; I'll say what I know, and for what I don't know, I can't just make up nonsense to tell you."

"If it weren't for you, Qin Huairu, being Team Captain, your words would be pleasant to hear."

"It's all for serving the neighbors."

Qin Huairu smiled like a flower.

She felt the benefits of authority for the first time in her life.

Just because she had become an optional team leader.

The neighbors in the compound all looked up to her.

If it were before, Qin Huairu wouldn't even dare to think of such a thing.

"Qin Team Leader."

"We're all neighbors of the same compound; call me by my name—calling me 'Team Leader' sounds too formal."

"Magnificent, absolutely magnificent."

"Huairu, this is how it is: the neighbors also saw that you became some kind of team leader, following your example they set up a Siheyuan Reform and Rectification Supervision Brigade. We're not cultured, we came up with this name ourselves, thinking about how to educate Er Da Ma. You work at Yagangchang, you don't know how arrogant Er Da Ma is—she actually made us serve her tea, which made us angry."

Siheyuan Reform and Rectification Supervision Brigade!

Qin Huairu murmured this name, realizing it was similar to her 'Know Mistake and Change' group—one educated Liu Haizhong, the other educated Liu Haizhong's wife.

"Neighbors, what do you want to know?"

"We just want to know how you at Yagangchang dealt with Liu Haizhong; we'll copy that."

"At Yagangchang, I supervised Liu Haizhong cleaning the toilets; some coworkers, resentful of his past actions, sought trouble for him."

"Can we also let Er Da Ma be responsible for the Siheyuan's hygiene?"

"Even the glass and such need to be wiped by her."

"Exactly, exactly, just do it like that."

……

He Family

While eating, they listened to Yu Li recount Er Da Ma's self-destructive deeds.

Shazhu could only sigh helplessly.

Serves them right.

In this situation.

Instead of thinking about easing relations with the neighbors, they further provoked them.

Even the dumbest person.

also knows that others will retaliate.

In this matter.

The person who truly earns Shazhu's respect is his own daughter-in-law, Yu Li.

Ignoring Er Da Ma like that is what makes Shazhu give Yu Li a thumbs-up.

The two chatted on and off.

Yu Li suddenly seemed to think of something.

She raised her head.

Looking at Shazhu.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Yu Li staring straight at him, Shazhu asked again, his heart becoming uneasy, worrying that something had happened to Yu Li's parents or relatives.

When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact.

Those people are almost going crazy.

They could do anything.

Thinking that if it were because of Yu Li's parents' side, causing them to innocently bring disaster upon themselves, that would really be a troublesome matter.

Not easy to handle.

"It's not what you imagine."

After three or four years of marriage, knowing each other well, a glance at Shazhu's expression told her he had misunderstood her meaning.

She had no intention of resenting Shazhu.

She knew Shazhu loved her and their child the most.

Strictly speaking.

It's a good thing.

He Yushui was pregnant; today Yu Li met Liu Jianguo outside the siheyuan, learned from him that He Yushui was pregnant, and wanted to tell Shazhu, but didn't expect Shazhu to misunderstand.

She gave Shazhu a disdainful look.

"Yushui is pregnant!"

"What do you mean 'has'?" Shazhu, not catching on, asked again, "What has?"

"Do you have a brother like you? Anyway, what's happened is that Yushui is pregnant; I heard it from Jianguo, just found out last week, don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

Shazhu's thoughts.

Flew into fragments of memories from his previous life.

In his previous life, after the incident of Yushui stealing chicken blew up, she broke up with that worker lover, later by chance met Liu Jianguo, they married, and a year later she gave birth to dragon-and-phoenix twins for him.

Because Shazhu helped Qin Huairu and provided for the elderly beasts in the siheyuan, Yushui had little contact with him, just knowing such a thing existed.

When the two children got married, He Yushui never notified Shazhu.
