Siheyuan, don't mess with me

I am in this state now. Even if I get out, I can forget about working. I will definitely be fired from the steel mill. I can only live on the money I saved in the past. I have lost my identity in society, and I will need to rely on the deaf old lady to protect me in the future!

If he doesn't confess, he still has hope that the old lady will come to rescue him. I believe she will be extremely anxious now, worried that he will bite her out!

Yi Zhonghai had no other choice. It would do him no good to confess the old lady's crimes. So he had better put all his hopes on the old lady. I hope her network of connections is strong enough!

Yi Zhonghai, who had made up his mind, was evasive and knew nothing about the golden ocean. This made the police who were interrogating him unsure whether it was left by the original owner of the house.

. . . . . . . . . .

The next morning, the deaf old lady went out by herself, which was rare. Aunt Chen Wanyi was sick and couldn't get out of bed, so the old lady could only hobble out of the door by herself. After losing Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady felt ignored by everyone in the courtyard!

After waiting for a long time on the road, she saw a man pulling a cart passing by. At this time, she didn't care that the cart was uncomfortable to sit on, and hurriedly stopped it!

She went to a place first and asked someone to call a middle-aged man out. After a brief exchange, the middle-aged man nodded and left! The deaf old lady stood for a while and also went back on a cart! She was originally scheduled to go to the police station, but now she doesn't have to go. At this point, she can only leave it to fate. The rest depends on whether Yi Zhonghai is lucky or not!

When she returned to the courtyard, she discovered that the central courtyard was so lively today.

A dead fish face appeared in front of her, "Old lady, it's been so many years, how are you?"

"He Daqing!" The deaf old lady almost waved her cane to exorcise the demons. Where did this ghost come from to scare me? But the warm sunlight was warm on people, how could it be?

"Old lady, take it easy. You are so old, it would be better for you to stay at home honestly. Don't run around. The ground is uneven. Be careful not to fall!" He Daqing understood why the deaf old lady, who seldom went out, went out today. She must have gone out for Yi Zhonghai's affairs. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of her and criticized her with sarcasm!

"Hmph! You meddlesome person! If I make you angry, I'll smash your glass!" The deaf old lady was not to be outdone. She relied on her old age and frailty, and no one dared to mess with her, so naturally she acted recklessly!

"Okay! Forget what I said. Take care!"

He Daqing returned to the courtyard early in the morning. Yu Li was the only one at home. He was too embarrassed to stay in the room, so he took a small stool and sat under the veranda. As a result, the aunties gathered around him when they saw him. Although He Daqing's face was not good-looking, he was good at talking. In the past, he could gather a bunch of aunties and young wives to listen to his bragging! It was still the same now. Soon, the aunties who were bored at home came over. Through the window, Yu Li saw her father-in-law. His dead face did not show a smile, but his words could make everyone laugh!

Those who thought they had a good relationship with him could even go over and beat him up a few times. The commotion in the central courtyard also alarmed Chen Wanyi who was lying at home. She saw He Daqing through the window. Chen Wanyi, who was already pale, looked even more deathly pale. She took two steps back and collapsed on the bed!

Auntie didn't know that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled He Yushui's living expenses, but she knew that Yi Zhonghai used a trick to drive He Daqing away!

This is not only because Yi Zhonghai planned to make Sha Zhu a backup candidate for retirement, but a big part of the reason is because of her!

That’s right, it was because Chen Wanyi had been unable to conceive that she heard the story of borrowing sperm while overhearing other people’s gossip. The extent to which this group of aunts chatted and the degree of their outspokenness depended entirely on whether there were young wives around. They all took pleasure in making their faces blush, and watching them run away was their happiest thing!

Not having children has always been Chen Wanyi's regret. She is in her thirties, at the most beautiful age, but she cannot bear fruit, which makes her anxious day and night. The story of borrowing seeds is like a seed. After being planted, it begins to grow wildly. As if possessed by a demon, Chen Wanyi sets her sights on the men in the courtyard!

Those who are too rude are disliked, and those who are too sloppy are disgusting! After choosing and choosing, Chen Wanyi's eyes fell on the widower He Daqing!

From getting close to He Yushui in the beginning, and then later on, asking about He Daqing's well-being, Chen Wanyi slowly got closer!

Just when she thought she was about to succeed, something strange happened. He Daqing was deceived by Yi Zhonghai!

Both men saw what she thought was a hidden act and knew it clearly!

He Daqing is a rabbit that doesn't eat grass near its burrow, for fear of getting into trouble. Otherwise, with his personality, he would have accomplished good things long ago!

How could Yi Zhonghai allow someone to cheat on him? He was the one who schemed against others, so how could he tolerate others taking advantage of him, especially when they put a hat on him, which is such a great humiliation!

He used a trick to get rid of He Daqing without making any noise, and at the same time used a fake medical record to sentence Chen Wanyi to death. It was she who was infertile, which completely put an end to Chen Wanyi's extravagant thoughts and made her live an honest life with him!

Even though Yi Zhonghai was good at calculating, he was not as immovable as a mountain. After He Daqing left, Yi Zhonghai beat Chen Wanyi up severely, venting his anger, and threw the fake medical record in her face, "You hen that can't lay eggs, you'd better be honest! Don't go out and cause trouble again!"

Seeing He Daqing coming back, Chen Wanyi was inexplicably frightened. Her intuition told her that He Daqing came back for revenge. Yi Zhonghai was already in prison, so what about her? What should she do? Should she escape?

He Daqing, who was chatting and laughing with a group of middle-aged women, had no idea of ​​Chen Wanyi's inner thoughts. He didn't think about this matter, nor did he realize that a big part of the reason why Yi Zhonghai targeted him was because Chen Wanyi wanted to cheat on him!

After chatting and laughing with the aunties for a while, He Daqing went out to buy groceries and came back by himself. He insisted on treating the Chen family to a meal at his home. Although it was difficult to repay the Chen family for taking care of his children, he still had to show some attitude, didn't he?

In the evening, the Central Courtyard was bustling with activity. When the men who had just come back from get off work heard that He Daqing was back, they all came over to greet him and reminisce about the past! It also showed how popular He Daqing was in the courtyard. Not only the aunties, but the men also loved to brag and chat with He Daqing!

Chapter 128 Yi Zhonghai has come to an end!

After He Daqing said frankly that he would invite everyone to get together and have a drink this Sunday, the group of men slowly dispersed. The return of He Daqing shrouded the courtyard, because the haze caused by Yi Zhonghai's arrest was dispelled a lot, and sadness will always be washed away by joy!

At the dinner, He Daqing's cooking skills were much better than He Yuzhu's, and he handled the ingredients more delicately. This also indirectly showed that He Yuzhu lacked experience and had rarely participated in large events!

At the same time, Chen Zhiguo also announced a happy event. He asked He Yuzhu to take Yu Li to find Li Huaide tomorrow. The matter has been settled. As for whether Yu Li can become a formal employee in the future, it depends on the opportunity!

With Yu Li's job, and He Daqing not staying idle at home and also going out to work, with the salary of three people, it would not take a year to buy a formal job for Yu Li if she didn't want to wait!

Besides, with the current relationship between Chen Zhiguo and Li Huaide, as long as there is an indicator, Li Huaide will think of Chen Zhiguo first!

Chen Zhiguo also said one more thing at the dinner table, "I'm going on a business trip with my teacher next week, and it will take about two weeks!"

"Where are you going?" Chen Dayong asked with concern.

"Let's go to the Northeast. Several factories there have been completed and need to be inspected! I'll go with you and broaden my horizons!"

It is the most comfortable time to go to Northeast China at this season. It is neither too cold nor too hot. Besides, you will go out with a teacher, so there will definitely be no problem with safety. Chen Dayong did not ask any more questions!

"Brother, did you bring me a gift?" It was Chen Xiaoli who asked the question, but the three Chen sisters all looked at Chen Zhiguo!

"Of course I brought some for you. I just don't know what delicious and fun things there are. I'll pick some for you when we get there!" Chen Zhiguo agreed readily!

"Don't spend money indiscriminately. She is so young, there is no need to buy her a gift!" Wang Meihua was unhappy!

"Mom, it's okay, I'll bring you a gift too!" I'm a big kid too, I need to be coaxed!

"What gift do I want? Just don't spend money recklessly!" Although he said no, he was very happy in his heart!

Just when He Daqing's house was filled with a joyful atmosphere, in the meeting room of the Municipal Bureau, a group of people were arguing that Yi Zhonghai's case had been investigated clearly and the evidence was sufficient. Although the source of the jar of gold was not stated, it could not be ruled out that it was left by the original owner of the house. Such things have happened before, so it was not taken as the focus of the inquiry!

So, the police station reported to the branch, and the branch reported to the municipal bureau. The focus of the debate tonight is whether to give a heavier punishment or a lighter punishment!

"This is an extremely bad act. A 16-year-old child with a 6-year-old sister, I believe everyone knows what this living expense means to them. We should be thankful that they are living in a new society, so they can survive!

If the lack of social funds causes these two children to go astray, become homeless or die, is this fair to the children?

I have read the files. This little girl named He Yushui was always hungry. It was only in the past six months that she got help from her kind neighbors and started to look like a normal person. Her figure before was as thin as a bamboo pole! We have learned about these situations from He Yushui's classmates, teachers, and Director Wang of the Street Office. They are true!

At the same time, we also learned the following through the street. Just half a year ago, the little girl He Yushui cried because she had no food for a day, but Yi Zhonghai, the uncle in the courtyard, turned a blind eye, embezzled the child's living expenses, and was reluctant to give her even a steamed bun. How cold-blooded is this? Is this something that an individual should do? At that time, Director Wang of the Street Office directly revoked his uncle's identity because he was a worker in the steel rolling mill. There was no substantive punishment later, but the situation was only reported to the steel rolling mill! But even so, Yi Zhonghai did not learn a lesson, did not reflect, and did not return the living expenses that originally belonged to He Yushui. His reasons for doing it for the good of the child and fearing that the child would spend money recklessly were all excuses to justify his behavior of stealing He Yushui's living expenses!

Now, I think such people should be severely punished and should not be tolerated! They are simply unscrupulous!" This was a leader in charge of the Municipal Bureau. When he saw the case, he slammed the table and wanted to kill Yi Zhonghai!

Opposite this leader was the middle-aged man whom the deaf old lady had met this morning. At this moment, he regretted very much. If he had known earlier, he would have found an excuse not to meet her and delayed it for a day. After the matter was settled, he could have directly refused and would not be in such a dilemma as he is now!

Do your best and leave the rest to God. In order to repay the favor of the deaf old lady, I am going to talk. The specific effect depends on how lucky Yi Zhonghai is!

"Let me say a few words. I feel very sympathetic and angry about what happened to this little girl named He Yushui!

But He Yushui's experience is not only due to Yi Zhonghai. First of all, He Yushui's father ran away with the widow, leaving behind two half-grown children. This is the cause. Secondly, the two children had a hard life in the first two years, but Yi Zhonghai also helped them a lot. As for why he didn't give them living expenses, I think his consideration at the time was right. What does a half-grown child know about frugality! Maybe the money will be spent on eating and drinking soon after it is received. What should he do in the future? Don't you still have to rely on the help of neighbors? So if you have spent all your money, can you ask for help from neighbors and have no source of income and need help from neighbors? I think Yi Zhonghai's previous approach is reasonable, and his worries do exist!

At the same time, as far as I know, He Yuzhu is also a disorderly person after work. He drinks and fights, and cares very little about his sister. This is also a fact. So in this case, what will be the outcome of giving the money to an unreliable person for safekeeping? Everyone knows without thinking that the money will be spent on food, drink and having fun!

I am not saying that Yi Zhonghai's practice of taking other people's money is right, but I want to say that his early ideas and practices were reasonable and prevented the children from spending money indiscriminately. Moreover, without this money, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu also got a job and could support his family. This is also Yi Zhonghai's credit!

Yi Zhonghai's mistake was that he didn't return the money to He Yuzhu after they got married, which made him suspected of embezzlement. However, he had developed a habit of hiding money over a long period of time, which was understandable. He didn't spend a penny of the money and kept it well! I can only say that Yi Zhonghai's starting point was good, but his approach was a bit wrong. I think he should be given a lighter punishment. He is also an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill. It is not easy for the country to train such talents. How about letting him make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence!"

In order to exonerate Yi Zhonghai, this person has racked his brains and put in a lot of effort! Success or failure depends on this!

After listening to everyone's opinions, the person sitting in the middle began to speak, "What everyone said makes sense, but a crime is a crime, and this is not the time to talk about human feelings. No matter how good or correct his idea is, he should not deduct the child's living expenses. This is a father's love for his child!

Yi Zhonghai didn't spend the money he stole, he saved it all, but the consequences he caused are irreparable. A child is growing up, but she is as thin as a bamboo pole. You can imagine how little she eats on a normal day. Seeing the child crying from hunger, he is indifferent. Can you say he is doing it for the good of the child? It is not an exaggeration to say that he is cold-blooded! If he has children, will he treat his children like this? What are children? They are our future! How can he talk about doing it for the good of a minor child when he treats him like this? Moreover, he is only good to his brother He Yuzhu and is indifferent to He Yushui. This is He Yushui's living expenses!

He is an eighth-level fitter. It is not easy for the country to train him. However, in such a long time, his thoughts have not changed. What does this mean? His roots are rotten, and he has no intention of changing himself! Can such a person with problematic thoughts contribute to the construction of the country wholeheartedly? Do we dare to use him with confidence?

I think the punishment should be severe, otherwise it will not be enough to appease the public anger!"

With the final word, Yi Zhonghai's fate was sealed!

On the third day after Chen Zhiguo went on a business trip, that is, on Wednesday morning, the court's verdict was delivered to Chen Wanyi!

In order to avoid attracting the attention of those curious aunties in the compound, the court and the police officers handling the case called He Daqing and Chen Wanyi to the police station to handle the matter. Not only did they have to deliver the verdict, but they also had to return He Yushui's living expenses and pay compensation. The money that Chen Wanyi and Yi Zhonghai had saved together, as well as her dowry jewelry and other cash and belongings all needed to be handed over!

"This is Yi Zhonghai's verdict, please sign it!"

"Comrade, I don't know many words!" Chen Wanyi said in embarrassment.

Being illiterate is a very normal phenomenon, and the comrades in the court were not surprised. They picked up the judgment and started reading it!

Although there were already speculations, Chen Wanyi was still saddened by Yi Zhonghai's 15-year sentence. How would she live in the future? She was alone and helpless, and she was getting older and older.

Chen Wanyi cried for a while before she stopped being sad and signed her name on the verdict!

Afterwards, the police officers took out the money and other items they had found in Yi Zhonghai's home. Of course, the jar of gold and the silver dollars were handed over as ownerless property! Now they were dealing with He Yushui's living expenses and the corresponding compensation!

"This is He Yushui's living expenses of 1,000 yuan. This is the compensation awarded to you by the court, 1,000 yuan!" The court awarded Yi Zhonghai a one-to-one compensation to He Yushui. Poor Yi Zhonghai had calculated everything and embezzled for so many years, but he didn't spend the money, but instead lost a sum of money, and even got himself into jail. I wonder what kind of mood Yi Zhonghai, who is now on the train to the west, is in! In the future, he will be accompanied by the wind and sand of the desert!

Chapter 129: Drinking contest, who’s afraid of who?

He Daqing did not show too much surprise, and his face could not show too much expression. He counted the money, signed the bill, and sat down aside!

The police officer opened the remaining boxes and said, "This is the 12,000 yuan you saved. We took out 1,010 yuan to compensate He Yushui. This is the remaining 10,990 yuan. Please count it!"

Chen Wanyi counted the money with trembling hands. She had no idea whether it was correct or not. Her head was already dizzy.

"This is your dowry jewelry. We have verified it with Yi Zhonghai. He did hide it secretly. You need to sign to confirm this!"

Looking at the jewelry that was lost and found again, Chen Wanyi felt sad. When she got married, she yearned for happiness and the sweetness of life, but then there was war and displacement, and the love of her parents disappeared. Thinking of this, Chen Wanyi felt hatred and anger. In those times of chaos and disorder, Yi Zhonghai had the idea of ​​taking his wealth and abandoning his wife!

After Chen Wanyi calmed down a little, she signed the list, took these things and went out with He Daqing!

As they were walking, He Daqing suddenly stopped and said, "You should save the money! It's not safe to keep it like this!"

"Ah! What?" Chen Wanyi, who was following He Daqing, almost bumped into him. She woke up suddenly and didn't hear clearly what He Daqing said.

"I told you to deposit your money in a savings bank. It's not only safe, but you can also earn interest!" He Daqing pointed at the boxes in Chen Wanyi's arms, "Oh! I know! Where can I deposit it?" Chen Wanyi, who didn't go out often, had no idea how to save money!

"Let's go! Follow me, I also need to save the money, otherwise it will be a big trouble if it is stolen at home!" He Daqing now has a huge sum of more than 2,000 yuan on him, and of course Chen Wanyi has even more!

Chen Wanyi realized that if she took the boxes back, anyone would know that she had taken the money back. The news that tens of thousands of yuan were found in Yi Zhonghai's house had spread all over Nanluoguxiang! Everyone knew that those petty thieves would never let her go. Besides, there were so many ungrateful people that she couldn't handle them even if they came to her house to ask for money!

He Daqing took Chen Wanyi to open a savings account, and they each saved their money. Chen Wanyi left herself a hundred yuan as a backup, and saved the rest of the money. The annual interest was several hundred yuan, enough for her to live on! Why didn't Yi Zhonghai save the money at the beginning? It was because he didn't want people to know that he had money. In his opinion, the salesperson who handled the business would also reveal his secrets. Therefore, although the interest was attractive, he still insisted on hiding it at home!

After leaving the savings bank, He Daqing took out a cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Chen Wanyi, "Put your box away. It's too conspicuous if you hold it in your hand!"

Chen Wanyi went out empty-handed at that time, without taking anything. In the savings bank, she threw away the box containing money, but still held the box containing jewelry in her hand. If anyone had been watching in the courtyard that day, they would definitely recognize what was in the box!

"Thank you! Daqing!" Chen Wanyi didn't expect He Daqing to be so thoughtful and think of everything. He is a completely different person from Yi Zhonghai! In the past, her relationship with He Daqing was superficial and superficial. Even in the year when she had evil thoughts, she didn't really talk to him much. At most, she would chat with him in the yard. It can be said that she never really understood He Daqing. Today, it seems that she has known him again!

"Why thank you? We have been neighbors for so many years. The rain was also thanks to you!" He Daqing sighed. When it comes to He Yushui, Chen Wanyi feels guilty. She is not as good to He Yushui as He Daqing imagined! She was okay with He Yushui at the beginning. As her improper thoughts about He Daqing faded, she gradually ignored He Yushui in the days that followed!

"By the way, when you go back, don't say anything. Just say you were called to find out the situation. Don't tell anyone about the money and jewelry!"

"I understand, Daqing!" Chen Wanyi replied softly. As a woman, she really didn't know how to face all these changes!

"Let's go! It's getting late, let's go home and make lunch!" Yu Li also went to work, and He Daqing was the only one at home. If he wanted to eat, he could make something. If he didn't want to eat, he could just go hungry and wait to eat together in the evening! He Daqing hadn't found a job yet, so he asked his fellow apprentices to help him find out. He thought of it as a few days off for himself!

"Go back and stop cooking. I'll go home and make some noodles with soy sauce. I'll bring you a bowl when it's ready!" He Daqing walked ahead, as if talking to the air.

"Okay! Thank you, Daqing!" Chen Wanyi, who was following behind him, was suddenly a little touched. For many years, Yi Zhonghai had never cooked, and she had been serving him, but he was still not satisfied and was still spending money outside! Today, He Daqing's actions made her feel like she was back to her youth, being spoiled by her parents!
