Chapter 318 Looking for the Young Widow

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said goodbye to Yan Bugui and left the courtyard. Walking in the alleys of Nanluoguxiang, Yi Zhonghai did not cover himself up at this moment. In such a crowded place, wrapping himself up so tightly didn't it mean that there was something wrong with him? This outfit was so that he would not be seen when he met the woman with the half-open door.

If people saw an old man like me, who is in his seventies or eighties, going to see a woman who used to run a semi-open business, it would be fine if they didn't know me. But if someone knew me and spread the news, how would I live my life in the future?

Yi Zhonghai was walking on the road, still feeling a little uneasy. This was the first time he had done such a thing. Walking on the street, Yi Zhonghai always felt that there was something wrong with the way people outside looked at him.

In fact, there was nothing wrong at all. People riding bicycles and walking on the street were just curious when they saw Yi Zhonghai wrapped himself so tightly.

This is just the psychological effect of Yi Zhonghai's guilty conscience. People who have done bad things, especially those who have done bad things for the first time, know that when they are doing bad things, their hearts are pounding, and when they see others, they always think that others have discovered that they are doing bad things, but in fact, they are just scaring themselves.

This is Yi Zhonghai’s current situation. He is forced into a corner and has no other choice.

In fact, these were all his own thoughts. With Sha Zhu's personality, he would not abandon them even after getting married, especially since he was originally an old man. Maybe people would do some stupid things when they get old. Now Yi Zhonghai has become a little obsessed with the issue of elderly care.

Feeling suspicious and uncomfortable, Yi Zhonghai came to a relatively secluded courtyard, where lived a widow named Qian, who used to run a semi-open business. But now she is a little older, and the crackdown on criminals in the society was quite strict in the past two years, so she hasn't done this kind of business for several years.

It’s not that the widow Qian has turned over a new leaf, but she was really frightened by what happened in the past two years.

Although what she did was consensual, those who were in charge didn't care. Widow Qian knew that there was a widow who did the same thing as her and was taken to be a target.

More importantly, Widow Qian is already quite old, and people no longer look down on her, so she has retired from their circle.

Ever since the incident in which her colleague was shot, Widow Qian dared not do these things anymore. She has been well behaved for quite a long time. During this time, Widow Qian could only do odd jobs and some mending work to make a living.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Of course, what Widow Qian did has been spread out, so even if she wants to do something else now, no one will use her.

How did Yi Zhonghai know what this widow Qian did before and why did he know where this widow Qian lived? Yi Zhonghai asked these questions from You San.

You San was also a gangster in the past, but he had never done anything bad and was just well-informed. So in the previous period of time, You San honestly provided people with a lot of information. It can be regarded as a way to make up for his mistakes, so You San was not held accountable and now lives his life in peace and order.

But he was still very well-informed. Widow Qian's residence and occupation were bought by Yi Zhonghai from You San.

"Knock, knock, knock." Although Yi Zhonghai didn't know the rules of these people, he knew that this kind of place was not a place for people like him to come, so he wrapped himself up tightly again.

"Who is it?" A slightly old voice came from inside the room. Yi Zhonghai stood at the door without saying anything and just continued to knock on the door.

"Who the hell is that?" A shout came from inside the house. It was still early in the morning and Widow Qian had just got up. Widow Qian didn't have any job so she had to take some sewing and mending jobs to supplement the family income. Fortunately, she was the only one in her family and could get by.

Hearing the footsteps coming from inside the door, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This was the first time he did such a thing, and his heart was pounding with nervousness.

The door was opened with a creaky sound, and a middle-aged woman who looked charming walked into the room. She had an oval face and delicate features, but there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes. Perhaps it was because her life was not very good, her figure was a little thin.

"Who the hell are you?" Widow Qian was frightened by the tightly wrapped human-shaped object that suddenly appeared in front of her. She couldn't help but take two steps back in fear. After looking carefully, she found that there was a person standing at the door. The frightened Widow Qian couldn't help but curse.

Yi Zhonghai ignored the scolding from Widow Qian. He was indeed somewhat offended by this matter, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't let others know in broad daylight that he was looking for a widow who was running a half-open business. If he did that, would he still be able to live as a human being?

"Are you Widow Qian?" Yi Zhonghai did not take off the mask on his face. He needed to confirm the identity of the person in front of him first. The fewer people who knew about what he was going to do, the better.

"Who are you? How do you know my identity?" Upon hearing this shady man in front of her say her name, Widow Qian showed a surprised expression on her face. This man obviously didn't know her. She wondered if he was a relative of hers. But even if he was a relative, there was no need for him to come to her house wrapped up so tightly.

"I was introduced by You Saner." Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to say much standing at the door. What he was plotting was a little unethical, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"Damn You San'er." After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Widow Qian couldn't help but turned her head and cursed You San in a low voice.

Things are not as strict now as before. Widow Qian is planning to resume her previous business, but she also has to consider the person. Judging from the voice of the human-shaped dumpling in front of her, he must be at least sixty years old. This You San is really something. He introduced her to someone who can be a father right away. Is she that indifferent to both meat and vegetables?

Widow Qian couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Should she do this business? On one side was an old prostitute who could be her father, and on the other side was a life of luxury.

After a while, Widow Qian made up her mind to just think of herself as being bitten by a dog.

Widow Qian turned around and quietly cursed You San, then said to Yi Zhonghai who was wrapped tightly in front of her: "Since You San introduced you here, he must have told you my rules. But aren't you too anxious? It's still daytime now."

Even if Widow Qian was planning to do this business, the timing was a little strange. Even if you came in the afternoon, it was only early in the morning. Are you in such a hurry? Widow Qian found it a little unbelievable.

Widow Qian had done this kind of business before, but most of them came in the afternoon or evening, and she had never seen anyone come in the morning.
