Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

The police officer was very young. Seeing Yi Zhonghai questioning what he had just said, he became unhappy and asked back with a frown: "This old comrade..."

"We are the police. Do you think we would joke with you about this?"

Yi Zhonghai was startled by the question and quickly explained: "Comrade Public Security, I don't disbelieve it..."

"I was just too anxious..."

"I will go to the hospital to find Xu Damao now and seek his forgiveness?"

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, the police looked much better and immediately replied: "A little faster?"

"As long as we can win the forgiveness of Comrade Xu Damao and get a letter of apology from him, we can let Comrade He Yuzhu off the hook and release him after a few days in prison."

"If he fails to obtain a letter of forgiveness from Comrade Xu Damao, He Yuzhu will be sentenced to at least six months of forced labor."

…………

Just as Wang Dong had judged before, Yi Zhonghai had invested a lot of money and energy in training He Yuzhu as a pensioner, and would never give up unless it was absolutely necessary.

Without waiting for the police to leave the four section officers, Yi Zhonghai returned home, put on his clothes, and hurried to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

Ten minutes later, he left the courtyard with a solemn expression and went straight to the hospital.

At this moment, Xu Damao was lying on the hospital bed resting.

In fact, apart from some external injuries, he was fine.

But in order to severely punish Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu and teach them a profound lesson, he deliberately told the doctor that he had a headache and pretended that he had a concussion caused by He Yuzhu.

Anyway, only you know whether your head hurts or not, and the doctor can't check it out. Even if Yi Zhonghai has any suspicions, he won't be able to find any evidence.

When Yi Zhonghai rushed to the hospital ward, Xu Damao's entire head was wrapped in gauze and he was lying on the bed wailing in pain.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he saw Xu Damao wrapped like a mummy. His first reaction was that He Yuzhu beat him too hard and he might bleed heavily again.

But who made He Yuzhu his elderly care recipient and godson?

No matter how big a mistake he made, we still have to help him solve his problem. We can't just watch him lose his job at the steel mill and be sentenced to six months of hard labor.

"Da Mao... How are you, Damao..." Yi Zhonghai was very dissatisfied with Xu Damao, but in order to win Xu Damao's forgiveness, he had to pretend to be concerned and asked no matter how unhappy he was.

"He's an old man..."

"Uncle... you have to make the decision for me..."

"That bastard Shazhu is such a jerk..."

"They ambushed me on my way home from get off work, hit me with a club, and beat me to death..."

"I am his neighbor..."

"If someone hadn't passed by at that time, I would have been beaten to death by that idiot..."

"Since Shazhu is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. I will send him to jail no matter what. No one can persuade me."

"Shazhu wants to kill me, so sending him to labor camp is a bargain for him."

"If I were in my previous bad temper, I would definitely fight back and hit him with a club, so that he would also have a taste of being beaten."

"Misunderstanding... Damao, it's all misunderstanding..." Seeing that Xu Damao was getting angrier and angrier, Yi Zhonghai was afraid that his anger would aggravate his injuries, so he quickly stepped out to explain.

Xu Damao is not as easy to fool as before. He pointed at the gauze tied on his head and said, "Uncle..."

"You are too biased. You can't speak for Sha Zhu just because he is your godson."

"I've been beaten up like this, and you still say it's a misunderstanding? How can it be a misunderstanding..."

"The doctor said that I was very likely to have a concussion from Sha Zhu, and I could get sick at any time in the future. If Sha Zhu is not punished this time, what will happen if I get sick in the future? How will I pay for the medical expenses when I get sick and hospitalized?" "The doctor said that a head injury requires rest, which may take a month or two at the fastest or several years at the slowest. Sha Zhu caused me such a big trauma, and you actually told me it was a misunderstanding. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

If Xu Damao had said this to himself in the past, Yi Zhonghai would have been furious.

But not now.'

He wanted a favor from Xu Damao, and he also hoped that Xu Damao would forgive He Yuzhu and help He Yuzhu write a letter of apology. No matter how aggrieved, unhappy, or angry he felt, he had to endure it.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart, and answered in a tone as calm as possible: "I will definitely let Zhuzi pay for the medical expenses..."

"If Damao needs to recuperate, I will definitely let Zhuzi pay for the expenses during the recuperation period. Damao will not let you pay a penny..."

"Please rest assured, Damao..."

"As the eldest uncle in the yard, I will definitely treat every resident fairly and justly."

"Even if Shazhu is my godson, he will still be punished if he does something wrong. You can rest assured, Damao..."

"How about fifty bucks?"

"I'll let Zhuzi pay you fifty dollars, and we'll just pretend this never happened. Damao, you forgive Shazhu and write him a letter of apology..."

"You are neighbors after all. It's not good to have a falling out over such a small matter..."

"Neighbor..." Xu Damao felt like he had heard a huge joke, and asked with a mocking look on Yi Zhonghai's face.

"Uncle... I treat Sha Zhu as my neighbor, but does Sha Zhu treat me as his neighbor?"

"Didn't you see the wound on my head? Is this something a neighbor could have done?"

"What if I forgive Shazhu, but he doesn't learn his lesson and continues to ambush me and knock me out next time?"

"I was lucky this time. Someone passed by and saved me..."

"I may not be so lucky next time."

"As for the fifty dollars..."

"Uncle, do you know what a concussion is?"

"Do you know how much money I have spent since coming to the hospital?"

"How much will the hospitalization cost next?"

"Fifty dollars is not enough to pay a beggar to settle this matter..."

"Master..."

"If this is Shazhu's sincerity in apologizing to me, then I can only say sorry. I don't see any sincerity from Shazhu."

"As for forgiveness, that's out of the question."

"He didn't even have the sincerity to apologize, how can I forgive him."

"Is it possible that all the injuries on my head were in vain..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Xu Damao to be so eloquent that he was rendered speechless by just a few words.

Shocked, he quickly explained: "Da Mao, you misunderstood..."

"Zhu Zi must be sincere in his apology..."

"After you write the letter of apology and forgive Zhuzi, and are released by the police, I will make him apologize to you in person..."

"If you still don't show sincerity, I, as his godfather, will personally apologize to you on his behalf. I will definitely satisfy you." (End of this chapter)
