Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 118 Yi Zhonghai's "Cunning"

What Yi Zhonghai didn't know was that the power of the deaf old lady's energy could not be seen for the time being, but it might not be the case in the future, which would lead to endless troubles!
After much thought, Yi Zhonghai decided to continue taking care of the deaf old lady as always!

However, it is impossible to eat meat frequently anymore!
He believes that others can understand, what kind of family is this? You even have braised pork once a week, you are so beautiful!

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were very happy. Since Yi Zhonghai invited them, there was no need to refuse!

Nutrition? It is indeed a good thing, who doesn’t need it?

When He Yuzhu came home from get off work, he heard the news that Yi Zhonghai had returned!

He didn't care. As long as you didn't provoke him, he didn't have time to pay attention to you for the time being!
He learned from his master that there was a problem with his kang and that the surface needed to be covered with a layer of yellow mud, otherwise it would get cold quickly in the second half of the night in winter. This made him a little depressed!
Uncle Wang originally said that he thought the yellow mud on the kang would be unhealthy, but he didn't expect there would be such a disadvantage!
Now it seems that I can only do as the master said. Uncle Wang sees that he has made up his mind, so I should give up trying to persuade him!

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry. You said it's not good to use cement directly on it, but I didn't expect there would be such a shortcoming. My master said I'm stupid. I may have to trouble you again!"

"Haha, no problem, it'll be done in no time. I have nothing else to do, so I'll do it now!"

"Okay, thank you for your help, Uncle Wang!"

"No trouble, what's the trouble?"

The two of them found a rickshaw to get soil, then pulled up some dry grass, crushed it and mixed it evenly with the soil, added water and stirred it into mud, and then pasted it on the kang and that was it!
The two of them worked for several hours before they finally finished the job. Uncle Wang went back with the meat buns that He Yuzhu had stuffed into his mouth!
We can't let people work for nothing, right? Working is the most physically demanding thing. You'll definitely be hungry when you get home!
By the time all the venues were cleaned up, it was already late at night. He Yuzhu lay on the bed, looking at the sleeping Yu Shui and smiling slightly. He also had to find time to get some coal briquettes and firewood!

His kang is different from others. The kang stove is particularly amazing. You just need to light the kang stove. Not only can the kang be heated up, but it can also heat the house and can be used for cooking and boiling water!
Heating in winter is no longer a problem. Not being hungry or cold is a good life!

Yi Zhonghaijia
"Old lady, what's going on with the old lady?
Why did the situation suddenly take a turn for the worse? "

"I don't know exactly, I just know that the guy behind the old lady was exiled!"

"What went wrong? Even we don't know the old lady's past. Could it be that someone she knew reported it?"

"The old lady herself doesn't know. She said that no one in the entire Nanluoguxiang knows her!"

“Well, if that’s the case, then the person behind him probably made a mistake!
Then drag the old lady into this, otherwise there is no need to go through so much trouble for an old lady!"

"Old Yi, what are we going to do next?"

"As usual!"

"As usual?"

“That’s right, my status in everyone’s eyes has dropped to the lowest point, and there may even be some dislike for me!
If we abandon the old lady under such circumstances, we will never be able to recover!

We have to change our mindset in the future, old woman. If you see anyone in the compound in need, you should help them. Of course, we will help with small favors, but forget about big favors because we can’t help them all!
As time goes by, our reputation will naturally accumulate slowly. During this period of time, I will try to stay dormant and accumulate a certain amount of reputation before considering other things!"

When Yi Zhonghai had this experience, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. To put it bluntly, he was scared!

"Got it, Lao Yi!"

Yi Li still supports Yi Zhonghai's idea. They are in a low period now and the old lady is also in the center of the storm. It is really not appropriate to make a big fuss!

The next day, Yi Zhonghai came to the street office with He Daqing's letter and living expenses. This old guy is also a talent. He specially put them in a cypress box!

"Hello, Director Wang!"

"You're out? How do you feel?"

"Thank you, Director Wang. I have deeply realized my mistake. It would have been fine if I had not stopped Jia Zhang's behavior, but I also listened to her and helped her to do evil. This is really wrong!"

"That's good to know. I've talked to the steel mill about this. Your work won't be affected. You still need to play a positive role in the future!
You have very good skills. We are now doing a large-scale construction. You should focus on this!
Teaching more apprentices would not only increase other people's income, but also actively support construction. Isn't that good? Why do you have to do some petty and frivolous things!"

"I'll remember your lesson!"

"Okay, let's go back to work!"

"Director Wang, I have something to report!"

"Say!"

"Director Wang, do you know about He Daqing?"

"I heard from Zhuzi, what? Is there something hidden here?"

"One month after He Daqing left, he sent me a letter with 100,000 yuan in it, saying it was for Yu Shui's living expenses!
Later, I received 50,000 yuan every month. I have a total of 250,000 yuan here, and four letters! Please take a look! "

"Oh? Why not just give it to the pillar?"

"Director, it's like this, Zhuzi is an apprentice at Fengze Garden, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to have enough food!
I saw that his life was pretty good, so I didn’t take out the money for fear of wasting it. Otherwise, if he encountered difficulties, it would be difficult to deal with it!

Later, when I saw that Zhuzi and Yushui were not in any trouble, I thought I could give it out as a betrothal gift when he gets married!
It was only through this labor reform that I realized that there was something wrong with my behavior!
If Zhuzi thinks that I have embezzled Yu Shui's living expenses, I can't explain it clearly!

I consulted the cultural teacher at the labor reform farm about this matter, and he told me to report it directly to the street office!
This amount of money is not much to begin with. Given my financial situation, there is no need for me to sell my conscience for such a small amount of money. The teacher said that the street office can understand! Please understand this, Director!"

Did Director Wang believe it? Not necessarily. Based on her understanding of Yi Zhonghai, there must be something she didn't understand!

But Yi Zhonghai's explanation was impeccable. Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan might not be something Yi Zhonghai would not care about!

Yi Zhonghai's salary at the steel rolling mill is as much as 720,000 yuan. There is really no need to do that just for a mere 50,000 yuan a month!

Her intuition told her that Yi Zhonghai must have some calculations here, but he just couldn't figure it out! If it was 2.5 million, it was still justifiable. 50,000 per month, it was only 250,000 so far. If it was dealt with seriously, it would be a bit far-fetched!

"Okay, your consideration makes sense. Tell He Daqing to send it to the street office later, and I will pass it on to Zhuzi!"

"Okay, thank you, Director Wang!"

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, the biggest hidden danger was eliminated!
After asking for advice, he realized that this matter should be resolved in advance, otherwise it would be troublesome if the amount is large!
It would be fine if He Yuzhu didn't pursue the matter, but if he really did, he would be in big trouble!
There was a high possibility that I would be sent in, where I wouldn’t even have access to steamed bread to eat. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat!
If it was the He Yuzhu from before, he would be 100% sure and could easily fool people!

He Yuzhu is different now. He can’t figure it out, so it’s better not to take risks!
He Yuzhu is just a chess piece in his playbook, Jia Dongxu is his target. It is not worth taking such a big risk for a "spare tire"!

Director Wang looked at Yi Zhonghai's back as he left and thought, could Zhuzi understand the truth behind this? If this amount of money came from a poor family, she would still doubt their motives, but Yi Zhonghai? She shook her head!

"Fengze Garden? Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office!"

"Hello, this is Fengze Garden!"

"Let He Yuzhu answer the phone. I'm his Aunt Wang!"

"Please wait!"

"Auntie Wang, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Zhuzi is waiting for you!"

"Don't be silly, come to the street office sometime, I have something to talk to you about!"

"Okay, goodbye Aunt Wang!"

"Zhu Zi, what's the matter?"

"Director Wang from the Subdistrict Office asked me to come over when I have time. He said he has something to talk to me about!"

"Tell your master and go there now!"

"Okay, thank you, Manager!"

"Why are you so polite!"

The manager of Fengzeyuan stared at He Yuzhu's back in a daze. He knew that as a pilot street office, the status of the street office director was not low!
What he didn't expect was that Zhuzi had such a good relationship with the director!

In the future, you must be more polite to pillars, because you never know when you may need them. More friends mean more paths, fewer enemies mean fewer walls!
He Yuzhu rode his bicycle and quickly arrived at the street office!
He thought Director Wang had some new task. The last time he called him in a hurry, it was about monitoring the deaf old lady!

"Auntie Wang, what's the matter? Please tell me!"

"Sit down, take a look at these letters!"

He Yuzhu opened the envelope in confusion, his face darkening. How could a letter from He Daqing appear in the street office?

"Auntie Wang, this..."

"Yi Zhonghai brought it over when he got to work this morning..."
I still can't figure out what Yi Zhonghai's plan is, but I'm sure it's not for this little money!
But apart from money, I don’t understand what else he wants from you! You have nothing else except your cooking skills!”

"Hey, Aunt Wang, Yi Zhonghai doesn't have any children, right?"

"That's right!"

"So what's the most important thing for him? On the other hand, what is he worried about?"

"Retirement care?"

"Yes, it's for retirement!"

"Isn't he Jia Dongxu's master? I heard that he treats Jia Dongxu better than his own son!"

"Perhaps only Yi Zhonghai himself knows this!"

He Yuzhu didn't say much. He said this because he knew the plot. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to see Yi Zhonghai's plan!

After all, Yi Zhonghai is only in his forties, and there is Jia Dongxu, so the sense of urgency for retirement is not very strong!

It’s a pity that the good “killer move” was cracked by this old guy in advance!

He had originally planned to give the old guy a fatal blow after the public-private partnership. But after the labor reform, the old guy learned his lesson. Maybe he was afraid?
"Take the money and the letter back with you. This is just our guess. Compared with Yi Zhonghai's income, this amount of money is nothing. Forcible handling will not convince the public!

Yi Zhonghai is still a senior worker. The country is in great need of skilled workers. Let’s stop here!”

"Okay, Aunt Wang, but you should keep the money in the street office. When Yu Shui grows up, the street office will transfer it to him. I won't take it!"

He Yuzhu knew that what Director Wang said made sense. One reason was that the time was too short and he could just make up an excuse.
Another reason is that the amount of money is too small. Would someone who earns 700,000 yuan a month embezzle 50,000 yuan from you?

Few people would believe it if it were told to others, not to mention that Yi Zhonghai had taken care of the deaf old lady "without asking for anything in return", which showed that Yi Zhonghai was not a person who would take advantage of small gains!

If this person is Yan Bugui, it won’t be so easy to pass!

If he insists on pursuing the matter, it might just be a criticism and education, which would be ineffective. It would be better to save face for Director Wang!

"Okay, since you think so, then keep it for the Street Office and give it to Xiao Yushui when the time comes!"
