Chapter 189 Threatening Wang Gan Niang
When matchmaker Wang heard He Yuzhu say that she was involved in introducing young girls to brothels, she was immediately shocked.
"Oh, Pillar,
You really wronged Aunt Wang.
Most of the people around Shichahai are wealthy. Who would send their daughter to a brothel for money?
Those immoral matchmakers you mentioned are either from the countryside or from Longxugou.
And they would do this only after the girl's parents agreed to it.
This married girl is like spilled water.
Before getting married, the more money you can make, the better!
Even if they are married, there are still men who send their wives to brothels to make money.
It's a matter of mutual consent, so you can't blame us, the matchmaker.
Her parents and husband all agreed to it, so you, the Public Security Bureau, are meddling too much!"
Regarding Wang the matchmaker's sophistry,
He Yuzhu was dismissive and didn't listen to her at all.
"Have you asked the girl's parents, her husband, and the girl herself? Have you asked them if they are willing?
Now is a new society.
Don’t bring up the Three Obediences and Four Virtues from your old society. The higher-ups don’t recognize your system now!
Be careful.
If anyone hears that you did something like this, I will definitely take you out for target practice."
How could these matchmakers not know what the attitude of the Beiping Military Control Commission was? When Wang the matchmaker heard that He Yuzhu wanted to take her to target practice, she was immediately shocked.
"Zhu Zi, you are not right to accuse me. I have never done such a wicked thing.
Besides, all the brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs have been closed down, so even if you want to do this side business to make some extra money, there is no way you can do it.”
After saying this to He Yuzhu with a forced smile,
Matchmaker Wang immediately said to Yi Zhonghai beside her,
"Old Yi, I think your courtyard is a den of dragons and tigers.
I just want to introduce the girls to your yard, but there is no way I can do that with the pillars blocking the way.
How about we just forget about it? Go find someone else!"
Hearing that Matchmaker Wang was planning to run away, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt paralyzed.
The whole Nanluoguxiang knew about Jia Zhang's situation. He had tried his best to persuade Matchmaker Wang to come over after saying nice things and promising many benefits.
As a result, He Yuzhu threatened him as soon as he entered the door, and he wanted to run away before he even saw anyone.
I can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.
But he reacted quickly and grabbed Matchmaker Wang who was about to leave.
"Sister Wang, how could you do this? We agreed to find a date for Dongxu, you can't go back on your word!"
After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at He Yuzhu and said,
"Zhu Zi, we all know what kind of person Wang Sao Zi is. She has never done the things you mentioned in these years.
Don't scare her.
Dongxu is still waiting for someone to introduce her to a date, you don't want her to be single for the rest of her life, do you? "
Whether Jia Dongxu is single or not has nothing to do with He Yuzhu, so he doesn't bother to care.
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he just said casually,
"Uncle Yi, this is not my fault.
If Aunt Wang didn't do anything, why is she running away? Isn't it obvious that she is guilty?
Aunt Wang, if you are really serious about matchmaking, who can stop you? You are in such a hurry to run away, are you really guilty? "
Now Matchmaker Wang was in a dilemma, so she looked at He Yuzhu in embarrassment and asked cautiously,
"Should I do the pillar or not?"
“It depends on how you think.
If you want to do something serious, then do it well. What are you afraid of?
But if you want to resort to some crooked means, I will have no choice but to send you to the police station, and maybe I can even get some credit for it."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Wang the matchmaker really didn't dare to leave. If she left, He Yuzhu might really use her to dye the hat on his head red.
He could only look at Yi Zhonghai with a flattering smile.
"Then Lao Yi, let's go find Sister Zhang and talk about finding a partner for Dongxu."
Seeing that Wang the matchmaker had given in, Yi Zhonghai immediately walked ahead to lead the way.
"Sister Wang, let's go in now." Seeing Yi Zhonghai and the others walk into the hanging flower gate, Yan Bugui blinked his eyes and began to praise He Yuzhu.
"Sure, Zhuzi, that's impressive enough.
Matchmaker Wang is notoriously difficult to deal with in our Nanluoguxiang, but you made her obey you completely!"
"The people of Beijing all know how the Military Control Commission treats us ordinary people.
I think she has something to hide, otherwise why would she be afraid of me? "
Seeing He Yuzhu was so sure, Yan Bugui asked curiously,
"Zhu Zi, I have seen people selling their wives to brothels, but did those girls in the Eight Great Hutongs really say what you just said? Are there really parents who sell their daughters who are about to get married?
If their uncle knew about this, he would definitely make a scene!"
"Uncle Yan, a married girl is like spilled water. The betrothal gift has been received, so who cares whether she lives or dies?
You just stayed in the city and school for a long time.
I just haven’t heard of it!”
Yan Bugui knew that people these days valued boys over girls, and he also knew that in many places there was a habit of drowning baby girls.
But they sent the girls who had been promised to other men to the brothels to squeeze them out for the last time.
It was indeed beyond his bottom line as a cultured person.
"In that case, let's go to Zhang's house and take a look.
See what they say.
By the way, let's see if Wang the Matchmaker's plan to find a wife for Jia Dongxu is reliable or not! "
He Yuzhu had just frightened Matchmaker Wang.
I don't want to run to Jia's house now.
It would be unfair if some people in the courtyard who dislike Jia Zhang were used as pawns.
"Goodbye, Uncle Yan,
I just scared Aunt Wang like that.
If I go hanging around Aunt Zhang's house again, Jia Dongxu's relationship will definitely fail and my dad will definitely scold me.
I still won't go.
If you want to go, you should go by yourself. I have to go home to put away my weapons!"
Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't want to go, Yan Bugui didn't want to force him.
"Okay, there hasn't been such a happy event in our Siheyuan for a long time. I'll go to the middle courtyard to take a look."
Seeing Yan Bugui happily going to the middle courtyard,
When He Yuzhu returned home, he put his weapons and ammunition into the space, then poured water to wash his face, drank a sip of water, and then strolled to the central courtyard.
As soon as he passed through the hanging flower gate, he saw all the neighbors of the same courtyard gathered in the yard.
While looking at the Jia family, they were talking about it.
Yan Bugui even exaggerated the incident in which He Yuzhu had just frightened Matchmaker Wang in the front yard.
Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, and Yan Jiecheng immediately noticed He Yuzhu.
Then he ran over.
Then he surrounded He Yuzhu at the door and whispered,
"Zhuzi Zhuzi, is what Uncle Yan just said true?
Did you really scare that troublesome Wang Ganniang so much that you ran away without even being a matchmaker for Jia Dongxu?"
