Looking at Yu Li's kind look, the third aunt felt a twinge of sadness in her heart.

Since Yu Li married into the Li family, it stands to reason that the relationship between Yu Li and her family should have been at a freezing point due to the previous events.

Even if Yu Li met her and spat on her face, it was a normal thing.

but.

Yu Li ignored her past grudges and often helped her.

Now that she sees her being bullied by Chen Yuanyuan, she is even more willing to lend a hand to help.

Compared with Chen Yuanyuan, he is in heaven and on earth.

He didn't dare to do those stupid things back then, so Li Weidong got an advantage in vain.

But now it's too late to regret it. Chen Yuanyuan is pregnant. Even if she doesn't want to, she can't blame Chen Yuanyuan at this time.

The third aunt took a deep breath and suppressed her dissatisfaction with Chen Yuanyuan in her heart.

"Yu Li, it's okay. I appreciate your kindness. There really is nothing wrong with my family."

Yu Li also knew the current situation of the Yan family. Although she was dissatisfied with Chen Yuanyuan's noisy behavior, the Yan family didn't think it was a big deal, and she, the second uncle of the courtyard, couldn't interfere too much.

After all, this is a family matter of the Yan family.

Yu Lila pulled Li Weidong's arm and said with a smile: "Brother Weidong, today I got a reward from above. I was given half a catty of brown sugar on the street. Let's go home and I will make you brown sugar tea."

"Hello!"

Li Weidong nodded happily and returned to the backyard with Yu Li.

The so-called brown sugar is actually made by boiling and drying sugar cane directly. Because it contains more impurities, it appears red in color.

The taste is far inferior to ordinary white sugar, but in this era, it can be regarded as a rare nutritional supplement.

Yu Li picked up the spoon, dug out half a spoonful of brown sugar from the paper bag, put it into the enamel jar, and then gently stirred it twice.

The boiling water turns orange-red instantly, exuding a sweet smell.

Take a sip of the snack and your whole body will feel warm immediately. Drinking a cup of brown sugar water in the winter can warm your stomach and ward off the cold. It is really the most suitable thing.

Li Weidong was enjoying brown sugar tea comfortably when there was a knock on the door outside.

Yu Li stood up and opened the door. When she saw it was Qin Huairu, she turned her head and shouted into the room: "Brother Wei Dong, the uncle is here."

When Li Weidong saw Qin Huairu's cheerful smile, he knew that the things he had told her were already clear.

Since he did not want Yu Li to get involved in the investigation of Yi Zhonghai, Li Weidong invited Yu Li to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Yu Li also knew that Li Weidong had important matters to discuss with Qin Huairu, so she said with a smile: "Master, please stay at home for dinner tonight."

Then he smiled at Li Weidong, nodded, and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Inside the hall.

Qin Huairu kept staring at the bag of brown sugar, her mouth twitching and swallowing, her greedy little cat look clearly revealed.

But Li Weidong seemed not to notice, picked up the thermos and poured her a glass of boiling water.

"Master, please drink some water."

Seeing that Li Weidong didn't give him any face, Qin Huairu could only put away her thoughts and look away from the candy wrapper.

He glanced at Li Weidong angrily, seeming to complain that Li Weidong was too stingy.

Li Weidong laughed and didn't care. He was joking. Yu Li is also a careful woman. She will definitely remember the number of something as valuable as brown sugar.

On the surface, Qin Huairu is just the eldest son of the courtyard, and his relationship with the Li family is not good, so he is not worthy of being treated with brown sugar.

If Li Weidong makes tea with brown sugar and gives it to Qin Huairu, it will definitely arouse Yu Li's suspicion.

Li Weidong often walks by the river. He just relies on his steady hands to keep his shoes from getting wet.

"Brother Wei Dong, you really guessed it right. Didn't you ask me to stare at the deaf old lady?"

"Aunt Yi entered the house of the deaf old lady today."

"After she came out, she went straight outside the compound."

"I took Qin Jingru with me, and the two of us followed Aunt Yi."

Qin Huairu took a sip of tea and didn't care about the brown sugar issue. She recounted what happened today.

Qin Huairu was hesitant and timid, so she could only call Qin Jingru, and the two of them followed Aunt Yi together.

Aunt Yi took a bus to a village called Shitou Gou on the outskirts of Beijing, and came to the yard of the second house at the west end of the village.

A local dog was tied up outside the yard. Aunt Yi seemed a little scared and lingered there for a long time. It wasn't until a passing villager saw Aunt Yi's predicament that she stepped forward and knocked on the door for Aunt Yi.

Because Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were afraid of being discovered by Aunt Yi, they could only hide next to the wheat stack in the distance. They couldn't see clearly, but they could tell that the person who opened the door was a farm man in his fifties.

He didn't seem to know Aunt Yi. When he saw Aunt Yi, his expression seemed to be so surprised that both Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru could detect her from such a distance.

But Aunt Yi seemed to have said something, and the farm man's face suddenly changed, became enthusiastic, and invited Aunt Yi into the small courtyard.

"That's all we found. Isn't it useless?" Qin Huairu felt a little regretful when she thought of the situation at that time.

When she was at Shitougou, she had the chance to get closer and hear clearly what Aunt Yi and the peasant man said.

However, she felt inexplicably afraid.

Li Weidong can understand Qin Huairu. If he goes by his speculation, the peasant man is probably a pawn of the deaf old lady.

The power of the chess pieces varies. Some may just deliver messages, while others can help the deaf old lady deal with some people who block her way.

If it's the latter, once Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru get close, they have no experience and no tracking training, so they are likely to be discovered on the spot.

Once exposed, they will definitely not be that person's opponent just because they are two lesbians.

If there is a chance in the future, maybe I should help Qin Huairu practice her skills. Maybe it will come in handy sometime.

"It's okay. You made a wise choice by not coming forward at that time. From now on, you should stop following Aunt Yi. I will handle this matter."

After listening to Li Weidong's words, Qin Huairu beamed with joy.

She stood up and took a sneak peek into the kitchen. She blushed and said in a low voice, "Brother Wei Dong, I have made a great contribution this time. Do you have to reward me?"

Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. This is the rule Li Weidong set for Qin Huairu and the others.

Rules are rules, even Li Weidong himself cannot break the rules, otherwise how can he convince others.

Although Li Weidong has been a little tired recently, he still nodded: "Okay, let's meet in the cellar in the evening."

"I'll go back and take a shower."

Qin Huairu blushed and ran out, but a word came in from outside.

The night is quiet.

The residents of the courtyard fell into a deep sleep one after another, and occasionally the painful sounds of fighting could be heard.

The residents are not surprised. After all, the houses in the courtyard are all old houses, with exposed windows and holes in the wooden doors. They have to do something, right?

In the cellar, one day later.

Li Weidong took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked happily.

Qin Huairu leaned beside him.

Playing with Li Weidong's big hand, Qin Huairu whispered: "Brother Wei Dong, last time I went to see Bangge, he said that he couldn't stand the constraints there and wanted to come back early."

According to the regulations there, students entering there need to study hard for three years before they can graduate.

BangGeng has only been here for two months and you can’t stand it anymore?

Li Weidong chuckled and said: "Sister Qin, you also know what kind of temper Banggeng has. He was spoiled by Jia Zhang in the early years."

"He is like a big tree that has grown crookedly. If it is not corrected in time, this life will be over."

"I spent a lot of effort to get Bangge in, and now you have to take him out."

"Do you want to destroy him?"

Qin Huairu just felt sorry for Bangge, not because she was unreasonable.

She also knew that if Bangge came out, he would definitely hang out with those green-skinned fools on the street.

We also know that Li Weidong is actually doing it for the sake of being good.

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh and said, "Brother Wei Dong, I listen to you. If you go to see Banggeng next time, let him put out his thoughts."

"This is right!"

Li Weidong felt happy and started working with his hands.

early morning.

Yu Li started to suffer from morning sickness again in the past two days. Li Weidong couldn't bear her being busy in the morning, so he bought fried dough sticks and soy milk from the street.

After eating and taking Yu Li to the street office in person, Li Weidong rode his bicycle to the police station.

Now the small policeman is the leader of the Jia Maolin case task force. Now that he has got the clue, he naturally has to report it to the small policeman.

In the police officer's office, the police officer frowned after listening to Li Weidong's words.
