Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Test us! Yi Zhonghai, you really treat us brother and sister as fools!" The anger on He Yuzhu's face became even stronger, and he cursed without any hesitation!
"If you really wanted to test us, why didn't you give us the money when Yu Shui and I were almost starving to death in the yard?"

"I'm already in my thirties, and Yu Shui is married!"

"Since you just said that the money was temporarily saved for us, then I want to ask: When do you plan to return the money to me and Yu Shui, and how much do you plan to return to me and Yu Shui?"

Now it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to be speechless.

After hesitating for several seconds, he said, "I plan to give it to you when you get married!"

He Yuzhu's face became even more furious, and he cursed without any hesitation: "Yi Zhonghai..."

"Where's your face?"

"I got married two or three years ago, and Yu Shui also got married two or three years ago, why don't you take out the money?"

"Calculation is calculation, don't make your despicable means sound so high-sounding!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu did not accept his explanation at all, Yi Zhonghai became even more anxious.

If I were arrested by the police today, even if I could find a way to release him in the future, the impact would have already been caused, and the steel mill might punish me again, which would be terrible.

He spoke again: "Pillar..."

"Over the past ten years, your father has sent back a total of 1,500 to 1,600 yuan. I will give you 2,000 yuan!"

"This is such a misunderstanding..."

"As long as you tell the police that this is a misunderstanding and don't arrest me... I will go to the bank to get the money for you now..."

If Yi Zhonghai had given this answer a day ago, He Yuzhu would definitely have nodded in agreement.

After all, two thousand yuan is more than four hundred yuan more than the more than one thousand yuan that He Daqing sent him.

Even if he becomes the kitchen team leader now, it will take him a year to earn that much money!
But after his brother-in-law's analysis, he was clear in his mind: the two thousand yuan promised by Yi Zhonghai sounds like a lot, but if you calculate it carefully, this amount of compensation is not enough to cover the losses of the brother and sister over the past decade.

He snorted coldly and asked back: "Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai!"

"It's already this late and you're still treating me like a fool..."

"You really think I'm a fool!"

"If I put all of 1,500 to 1,600 yuan in the bank, I would get 70 to 80 yuan in interest a year!"

"You have been calculating this money from us for more than ten years. If you put it in the bank, the interest alone should be more than a thousand yuan!"

"But you, an old beast, only want to compensate me with two thousand dollars!"

"You even want me, He Yuzhu, to be grateful to you. You are really good at calculating this!"

"I, He Yuzhu, have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"

After he finished speaking, regardless of the shock and despair on Yi Zhonghai's face, he directly said to the police officer standing by: "Comrade Public Security!"

"I think Yi Zhonghai has completely repented, so I decided to handle this matter publicly. Please arrest Yi Zhonghai as soon as possible. I don't want to see them in the yard!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Sha Zhu suddenly became so smart that he could even calculate the interest of more than one thousand yuan clearly. Seeing two policemen standing on his left and right, he became even more panicked and said quickly.

"Two thousand five hundred dollars!"

"Zhu Zi...as long as you agree not to handle this matter impartially, I will compensate you 2,500 yuan now!"

Seeing that He Yuzhu still had an indifferent expression, Yi Zhonghai felt very distressed, but for the sake of his own future and reputation, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Three thousand yuan!"

"Pillar……"

"This is the most I can give you as compensation. I don't have any more. Please forgive me!"

"Zhu Zi..." At this moment, a woman suddenly knelt in front of He Yuzhu with a sad face, and said in a pitiful voice! "If you don't want to see the face of the monk, you should see the face of the Buddha. Just bypass your uncle Yi!"

"You have been punished in the steel mill before. You know that once your uncle Yi is punished in the steel mill, his status and grade will be affected!"

"I beg you!"

"When you were punished by the steel mill, it was you, Uncle Yi, who spent money to go to the steel mill to help you solve the problem!"

"It cost at least three thousand dollars in total!"

"The money your father sent back has long been spent on these things!"

"Just forgive your Uncle Yi, he's doing this for your own good!"

After hearing his wife's sudden interruption, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up and he said, "Zhu Zi..."

"Your Aunt Yi is right. You spent all the money your father sent back on yourself. I didn't count your money!"

"Hurry up and ask the police to release me!"

Hearing this, an embarrassed expression quickly flashed across He Yuzhu's face!
In order to avoid losing his job at the steel mill, to cancel the punishment he had received and to be able to take the exam again, Yi Zhonghai actually spent more than 3,000 yuan.

He said that the money he spent was sent back by his father, and he had no way to refute it.

His brows immediately furrowed into a big "川" shape, and he didn't know how to defend himself next.

"Clap clap clap..."

When he was at a loss, Wang Dong suddenly clapped his hands and walked to He Yuzhu.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai and his wife, he said with a disdainful expression: "Yi Zhonghai...you two are really good at scheming!"

After saying that, he turned his attention to the neighbors around him and continued, "I believe everyone should remember one thing!"

"More than half a year ago, that was the night when Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu committed adultery in the cellar."

"In order to stop He Yuzhu from reporting to the police, Yi Zhonghai promised in front of all the neighbors in the courtyard and the street director Zhou: All the money that Yi Zhonghai and his wife had spent on He Yuzhu will be offset!"

"As long as Zhuzi doesn't report Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's adultery to the police, that account will be written off forever, and we will never mention this matter again."

"And yet you guys are so good: you treated He Yuzhu like a fool and fooled him, and even wanted to settle the score twice!"

"And you, Yi Zhonghai..."

"Do you really think three thousand dollars is a lot of money?"

"Zhu Zi just said: If you deposit more than a thousand yuan in the bank, the interest over the years will add up to more than a thousand yuan!"

"The interest plus the principal is exactly three thousand yuan!"

"This doesn't even take into account the emotional damage you've caused He Yuzhu and his sister."

“This is priceless!”

"Let He Yuzhu and his sister mistakenly believe that their biological father doesn't care about them and doesn't want them, and make them feel like orphans."

"It also makes the neighbors in the courtyard feel that He Yuzhu and his sister are orphans with no one to take care of them, and anyone can bully them!"

"If He Yuzhu and his sister knew that He Daqing had been sending them money, they would definitely ask He Daqing to come back and officiate at their wedding."

"As a result, when the two of them got married, there wasn't even an elder!"

"It's a joke!" (End of this chapter)
