Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

Chapter 117 Midnight Cellar (4)

"Qin...Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu was really dumbfounded this time.

This is Sister Qin, the one he has been thinking about all the time. How could she be having an affair with Xu Damao? Doesn’t she know that she and Xu Damao are sworn enemies?

Even if I have an affair with Hua Chengyu... No, I can't have an affair with anyone else.

"Qin Huairu!" When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu popping her head out of the cellar, she knew that everything was over, but Qin Huairu had to bear the responsibility alone.

"Qin Huairu, you whore, you stay up late at night and have an affair with Xu Damao, do you still have any shame?"

"Mom, you misunderstood. I didn't have an affair with Xu Damao!" After a few minutes, she and Xu Damao finally came up with a solution. The first step was to deny it.

Even if everyone knows that they are having an affair, as long as the clothes are still on them, people outside have no evidence.

Secondly.......

"Qin Huairu, you are still quibbling. So many of us are watching us. Do you think we are blind?" Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and slapped Qin Huairu, and then slapped Xu Damao with the backhand.

"Tell me, was it Qin Huairu who seduced you?" Lou Xiao'e put her hands on her hips and looked at Xu Damao angrily.

"Wife, I..." Xu Damao had no words to express his grievances. This was just acting, and his wife was too into the role, so he received a heavy slap in the face.

"Who is your wife? Call me Lou Xiao'e. Xu Damao, I really misjudged you. How could you do this?!" Lou Xiao'e said angrily.

"Wife, you really misunderstood me. I didn't have an affair with Qin Huairu!" Xu Damao said loudly.

"No broken shoes?"

"I'm not having an affair with Xu Damao, Mom, Xiao'e, you have to believe us." Qin Huairu said anxiously. Xu Damao is not Hua Chengyu.

There is not much profit, a salary of 43 yuan per person, which seems like a lot, but he also has to support a wife and children. Looking at his family's expenses, not to mention meat every day, but every now and then, he has to spend a lot of money on malted milk, milk and the like. It is said in the courtyard that Xu Damao and his wife have not saved any money.

We still have to rely on Lou Bancheng for help!

"There was no adultery. Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, what were you doing in the cellar so late at night?" Liu Haizhong said angrily. The two of them were caught in the act, but they were still trying to argue!

"What we do is none of your business. Wife, let's go home and talk about it!" Xu Damao stepped forward and tried to pull Lou Xiao'e.

"Get out, Xu Damao. If you don't explain everything to me clearly today, don't come into my room!" Lou Xiao'e waved her hand and avoided Xu Damao.

"Yes, Xu Damao, did you force my sister Qin? I tell you, you are committing a crime. I will go to the security department, the street office, and the police station to tell you. I am not afraid to tell you that my future brother-in-law is a public security officer. I will catch you and eat peanuts." Sha Zhu said with great sorrow.

Sister Qin must have been forced by Xu Damao. As a weak woman, he must help Sister Qin get justice.

How to do?

Sister Qin is no longer pure, it’s all Xu Damao’s fault!

However, he still didn't dare to take direct action. After all, he still owed Xu Damao a large sum of money, and he hadn't paid back a penny in more than two years.

It would be great if Xu Damao was caught and eaten with peanuts!

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Now, Xu Damao definitely wouldn't be able to escape, right?

"Report it, just go ahead and report it, Silly Zhu, you are so stupid, why are you pretending to be smart? You haven't figured out the matter yet, and you are just barking like a dog."

"Qin Huairu, they say we are adulterers, are we adulterers?" Xu Damao spat at her and turned to Qin Huairu.

"No, we really didn't have an affair!" Qin Huairu waved her hand: "We are studying art!"

While studying art, Hua Chengyu was so stunned that he burst out laughing.

Personal art or performance art, or both?

"What do you mean by studying art? Studying art so late at night? Xu Damao knows nothing about art! Sister Qin, don't be afraid. If Xu Damao forces you, I will send him to the police station to eat peanuts." Sha Zhu stepped forward to protect Qin Huairu.

"Silly Zhu, don't say anything!" Qin Huairu pulled Sha Zhu and said, "We are just studying art, Xu Damao, don't you agree?"

"Yes, wife, I am really studying art with Qin Huairu!"

This was another story he discussed with Qin Huairu. Although it was not very credible, considering their tattered clothes, no one would probably believe it.

No matter if anyone believes it or not, as long as they believe it and can justify it, it’s fine. They are not afraid even if the police are involved.

"Tell me, what kind of art?" Lou Xiao'e hadn't expected that Xu Damao could find this good excuse, so she saw if he could help her get away with it. This was not something she had planned before.

Otherwise, he could find a way to help. After all, brothers are good friends even if they are outsiders. He and Xu Damao are still a couple in name. He can make trouble however he wants when he returns, but he cannot let outsiders laugh at him.

"Xiao'e, don't be angry. My father-in-law's birthday is coming up in a few days. The 59th will be a big celebration. You've said this before, right?" Xu Damao asked.

Yes, we took advantage of the birthday party to travel to the south as a family, and we have already got the letters of introduction.

Lou Xiaoe nodded!

"I have been wanting to buy a good thing for my father-in-law recently. I have been to Dongdan, Xidan, and Liulichang, but I don't have much money, and we don't have foreign exchange coupons, so I haven't been able to buy anything good."

"Yesterday, Sister Qin was washing clothes. When I came back from get off work, I chatted with Sister Qin for a while. Sister Qin said that she had a lot of good things in her dowry, and she asked me to take a look."

"What good thing? What good thing does Qin Huairu have?" Lou Xiao'e said in disbelief.

"I'm not sure whether there are any good things there. Let's go down to the cellar with Sister Qin to take a look!" Xu Damao said embarrassedly.

"Qin Huairu, is what Xu Damao said true?" Lou Xiao'e didn't ask Xu Damao, but turned to ask Qin Huairu.

"Of course, I brought a lot of good things when I got married." Qin Huairu said as a matter of course.

"You are a country girl, what good things do you have? The betrothal gift is only five dollars." Jia Zhang said sarcastically. Hua Chengyu was not caught, but Qin Huairu was obviously already in a relationship with Xu Damao.

He is a woman, and you can tell from his expression that he is at a big loss.

"Mom, the dowry is my own thing, you can't have any ideas about it." Qin Huairu said seriously. The three small seals given by Yi Zhonghai were made of broken stones.

After living in the countryside for many years, he still knows broken stones. Although stones look a little different from those in the countryside, they are still broken stones after all. When he was in school, his teacher said that among antiques and calligraphy and paintings, calligraphy and paintings are the most valuable because they are not easy to preserve.

She also had four pieces of calligraphy and paintings in her hands, all of which were given to her by Yi Zhonghai.

These four items are worth at least four or five hundred yuan!

"What good things do you have? I don't want them. They are all yours!" Jia Zhang said unhappily.

"Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, stop talking about other things. If you don't behave yourself, I will ask the factory security department to come over." Liu Haizhong said coldly.

"Yes, please ask the people from the Security Department to come over. It must be Xu Damao who forced Sister Qin!" Sha Zhu jumped up.

"Old Liu, don't be anxious. There are so many people here and they can't run away. Just listen to what Huairu says!" Yi Zhonghai said slowly.

"No, Shazhu, do you want me, Sister Qin, to die? We really didn't..." When she said this, Qin Huairu started to cry.

"Xu Damao, please continue!" Yan Laokou pushed his glasses. This matter was full of twists and turns. It was interesting, really interesting.

"Okay. That's where I was just talking about. Yes, Sister Qin told me after get off work yesterday that she had some good stuff, but it was in the cellar. Coincidentally, I found the key to the cellar a day ago, and it was next to the cellar. Sister Qin didn't want anyone to know that she had a dowry, especially didn't want Jia Zhang to know, so I discussed with her about going down to the cellar tonight to take a look. If the price is right and I like it, I'll take some. That's what happened!" Xu Damao spread his hands to indicate that he had finished his story.

"Hmph! Xu Damao, no matter how eloquent you are, you said Sister Qin has a dowry. What is the dowry?" Sha Zhu didn't believe it and jumped up to ask Xu Damao.

"painting and calligraphy!"

"Calligraphy and painting? Sister Qin has never read any books..."

"No, Shazhu, I'm different from you. I graduated from junior high school!" This is the only thing Qin Huairu can be proud of. If he hadn't come to the city, he wouldn't know that his academic qualifications were not low.

There are still many people in the city who cannot read!

"This has nothing to do with your graduation. Calligraphy and painting? Is it a book? Or a painting? Take it out and let's see it?" Sha Zhu waved his hand: "It's useless to say anything else. You have to have something."

"Okay, I'll show it to everyone!" Qin Huairu turned around and went down to the cellar again.

After a while, he brought out a long rectangular box.

"Really?" Liu Haizhong took a step forward, ready to take it, but Qin Huairu turned around and would rather leave the box on the ground.

Don’t let Liu Haizhong hold it either!

"Shazhu, go to Lao Yi's room and move a table!" Liu Haizhong ordered.

"Ok!"

After a while, Sha Zhu brought the table, and Qin Huairu took out the key from her pocket and opened the long wooden box. There were four paintings and calligraphy inside, rolled up!

"Open!"

"Okay, uncle, it was you who asked them to open it. So many people are watching. If these calligraphy and paintings are damaged, you will be fully responsible." Qin Huairu said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up!" Liu Haizhong said impatiently.

When you open the first picture, you will see a group of horses playing or eating grass and resting!

"What the hell is this? All the paintings are of horses?" Sha Zhu said with disdain.

Hua Chengyu caused a huge storm. This old Chaofeng is really something that he can't show off unless he is at the national level, right?

"Wait, Lao Liu, bring the light closer!" Yan Bugui came over excitedly and pulled Shazhu aside: "If you didn't write it down, it should be the Hundred Horses Painting, right?"

"Director Hua, don't you think so?"

"Uncle, I majored in engineering. I don't know much about calligraphy or painting!" No need to look, this must have happened last week.

Hua Chengyu can smell an old smell from a distance, this painting has been soaked in chemicals.

A Hundred Horses: This is a long scroll of Chinese painting created by the Italian Qing Dynasty court painter Lang Shining. It depicts a group of horses playing or grazing and resting, and shows the scene of horse raising by court nobles at that time.

This work has extremely high artistic and historical value and is now in the collection of the Palace Museum.

"A Picture of a Hundred Horses? What Picture of a Hundred Horses? Second Uncle, it's just a painting, what's the fuss about?" Sha Zhu said dissatisfiedly.

"I can't tell you, an uneducated person, but look at the color, the brush strokes, and the movements. They are exactly the same as in the elementary school textbooks. It should be an authentic work and priceless. Priceless," said Yan Bugui.

"Is it really priceless?" Qin Huairu said excitedly.

“It’s hard to say. If I meet someone who knows the value of it, he will definitely be willing to pay a high price for it!” Yan Bugui pushed his glasses.

"How much is it worth?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Three to five hundred should be about the right amount, but you'll have to meet someone who knows the value of it! Huairu, we're cracking down on speculation now, so you better be careful!" Yan Bugui said.

"I understand, Second Uncle!" After saying that, Qin Huairu put the painting away.

Are there really calligraphy and paintings?

Didn't Qin Huairu lie? Sister Qin and Xu Damao were discussing art in the cellar. No, let's bargain. But why not in the daytime? Why can't they take it out openly?

Oh, I can’t take it out openly. Sha Zhu almost understood Sister Qin.

He has a large family and it costs about 50 yuan a month. His salary is not enough, so he has to sell his dowry to supplement the family income. What a good woman.

I wish I had a wife like this.
