Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Yi Zhonghai was very confident about this, and he quickly came up with several action plans. But he didn't expect things to change so quickly, and the next day, trouble came to his door. That night, he was about to go to Liu Haizhong to chat, and suddenly saw two people appear outside the door, one of whom was He Yushui's boyfriend Wang Ruxin. Seeing Wang Ruxin and the police behind him, Yi Zhonghai felt a little uneasy. His wife also frowned, and her worries were even greater. The people from the police station came to the door now, it must be because Yi Zhonghai's secret actions were discovered. Auntie thought, what should she do if Yi Zhonghai was arrested. In this case, it would be wise for them to escape for their own lives. Rescuing others is impossible, she has no ability, and she doesn't want to do it. The best option is to take the money that Yi Zhonghai has hidden when he is arrested, and then run away. Once she leaves the capital and returns to her hometown in the countryside to hide, it will become difficult to find her.

Putting aside the aunt's calculations, Yi Zhonghai tried hard to suppress his panic at this moment, and forced a smile and asked: "I wonder what Yu Shui and the others are doing here at this time?" Wang Ruxin replied expressionlessly: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, please correct your attitude. We have received an accusation that you have privately embezzled the alimony paid by He Daqing for his children over the years. Now we need you to come back to the police station with us to assist in the investigation."

Yi Zhonghai was shocked. The thing that worried him the most finally broke out. But he was also confused. What kind of news was leaked? He thought he was cautious and left no trace. Could it be... Yi Zhonghai shook his head secretly. Now was not the time to think about this problem. The most urgent thing was to solve the current dilemma.

He responded stiffly, "Did you make a mistake? He Daqing has been on the run for more than ten years. He has a bad reputation in Siheyuan. And everyone can see what kind of person I am. As the leader of Siheyuan, everyone will give me a thumbs up and praise me for being generous and righteous. After He Daqing escaped, I raised Shazhu and Yushui. How could I do such a despicable thing?"

"Whether there is a mistake or not is not up to you or me to decide. Everything must be based on evidence! We are not here to discuss with you, do you understand?" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's rebuttal was ineffective, he smiled and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll go back with you."

Wang Ruxin immediately gave the order: "Let's go!" Then he made way and signaled Yi Zhonghai to go ahead. Yi Zhonghai knew that no matter how things ended, his reputation in Siheyuan would probably go through ups and downs and fall to the bottom. But this problem was not fatal. As long as it was not proven that he embezzled the maintenance money of He Yuzhu's brother and sister, it would be difficult for outsiders to point fingers at him. His only worry was that someone would remove him from his position as leader at this moment.

Yi Zhonghai was used to assuming the worst of others, and just as he had expected, the news of his being taken away spread quickly in the courtyard. The uniforms and eye-catching wide-brimmed hats of Wang Ruxin and another comrade were too dazzling, and those neighbors who lived close to Yi Zhonghai heard their conversation with their own ears. After they left, the whole courtyard suddenly became as noisy as boiling soup.

"Have you heard? One of the leaders actually embezzled the alimony that He Daqing gave to Sha Zhu's brother and sister."

"I have also heard about this, and it seems to be true. Although He Daqing is cold-blooded, he would never be indifferent to his own son and daughter. Moreover, the White Widow's family affairs were turned upside down, and this matter was almost known to everyone, so I don't believe that He Daqing would be completely ignorant of this."

"Hey, don't be impatient, the fun has just begun!"

"Let's wait patiently to see if Sha Zhu will rush to the police station and give the ringleader a good beating when he finds out."

Such whispers spread secretly in every corner of the courtyard. However, to everyone's surprise, the protagonist of this matter, He Yuzhu, was not furious at the moment, but unusually calm. This was because he had already known about this matter, and the anger that should be released had been released, and there was no way to contain it.

At this time, He Yuzhu, Li Weidong, Han Zhizhi and He Yushui were sitting together. He asked Li Weidong with a confused look on his face: "Weidong, what should we do next?"

"Of course we are going to fan the flames. Even if the law cannot convict Yi Zhonghai, we will destroy his reputation and make him never heal. Also, the auntie must always be alert. I'm afraid the background is not simple." What Li Weidong did not tell them was that Qin Huairu had told him a few days ago that the auntie had slapped Yi Zhonghai hard several times, but Yi Zhonghai not only did not fight back, he did not even say a word of argument.

Logically, they should have some estrangement as they had been childless for so many years, but their reactions were too calm, which made Li Weidong unbelievable. In order to prevent accidents, he thought he should pay more attention to the aunt, just in case.

He Yuzhu and the others nodded in agreement, believing in Li Weidong's judgment. So the four of them began to divide the work. Li Weidong was in charge of the overall situation, listening and directing, while He Yuzhu and He Yushui took the collected evidence to the police station to prove Yi Zhonghai's crime of embezzling alimony, and Han Zhizhi was responsible for monitoring the aunt. Li Weidong would also share the responsibility, after all, the backyard where he lived was very close to Yi's house, which was conducive to keeping an eye on it nearby.

Late at night, the clock had passed ten, and Yi Zhonghai still hadn't returned home. The aunt was extremely anxious and kept walking around the house. She had a hunch that Yi Zhonghai might not come back. So, she decided to take the initiative. If Yi Zhonghai was upset and the police came back to search again, it would be too late.

She bit her lips tightly, and after thinking for a while, the aunt entered the room and moved the wooden box in the corner. The wooden box was originally used to store seasonal clothes, and it was not suspicious to place it there, but she had long noticed that the position of the wooden box had changed, and there were signs on the ground that it had been moved. Once in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a faint scratching sound, and vaguely saw Yi Zhonghai moving the wooden box. In view of this, the aunt firmly believed that there must be a mystery behind the wooden box.

Sure enough, after moving the wooden box, the aunt found an old newspaper on the wall behind the box. She reached out and touched it gently, and the poster slowly tilted, showing that there was nothing behind it. She carefully tore off the poster, and a black hole appeared in the gap of the wall. She reached in and found the wooden box hidden inside. There was an iron lock on it, but the aunt searched all over her body and couldn't find the key. After a little thought, she cut the chain with pliers without hesitation.

When the wooden box was half opened, the aunt was pleasantly surprised to find that it was filled with brand new 100-yuan bills, roughly estimated to be more than 1,000 yuan. In addition, there was a series of national food coupons with the latest dates.

"Yi Zhonghai, you bastard, how dare you rob me!" The aunt gnashed her teeth, thinking that Yi Zhonghai had been hiding many truths from her for a long time. At this moment, she showed no mercy and took away all the money in the box, not even a penny. In her opinion, she had worked hard for so many years, and this money could be regarded as compensation for her.

After comforting herself, the aunt simply packed her luggage, took away only the valuables inside, and then wrapped it in a sheet. After packing her luggage, she looked at the old house where she had lived for more than ten years, and a cruel sadness rose in her heart. However, when she thought of Yi Zhonghai, the only sadness in her heart disappeared instantly.

Without any hesitation, she left without even locking the door, leaving in a hurry with only a small package. If anyone asked her about it, she would make an excuse that she was going to help Yi Zhonghai deliver clothes, and no one would doubt her intention to escape.

With the decision made, she naturally quickened her pace. At this moment, she was seen by Yu Li who had been looking out the window. Yu Li, who was about to wash up and go to bed, saw the old lady preparing to leave, and quickly told Li Weidong: "Weidong, look, the old lady seems to be preparing to take something away."

Li Weidong was about to go to bed, but when he heard this, he immediately turned around and rushed out of the house. He saw an old lady just leaving the backyard, and he blew the whistle without hesitation. This was the signal he and Han Zhizhi had agreed on in advance, which meant that something was happening in the backyard. Han Zhizhi was knitting a sweater for He Yuzhu in the middle yard at the time. When she heard the whistle, she immediately jumped up and hurried out the door, just in time to see the old lady just passing by the door.

Han Zhizhi did not hesitate any longer, and shouted loudly while running: "Stop!" The old lady was startled by this sudden order, and immediately changed from walking to running. However, how could an old lady over 50 years old outrun the strong Han Zhizhi?

Not to mention that Han Zhizhi's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people.

She caught up with the old lady in just three moves.

He reached out his hand and actually lifted the old lady up.

The aunt screamed immediately.

"Han Zhizhi, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"What are you doing? I was wondering what you were doing. What are you trying to do by sneaking around in the middle of the night? Did you see Yi Zhonghai being arrested and want to escape?"

The aunt's thoughts were discovered. She was flustered for a moment and quickly explained: "Xiao Zhu's family, you misunderstood, I just went to deliver clothes to Lao Yi. You know, he was taken to the police station today."

If Han Zhizhi had not seen through her intentions long ago, she would probably have been fooled by her.

"Are you still lying to me? I think you have something to hide and want to escape."

After hearing Han Zhizhi's constant talk of "running away", the aunt knew that today's problem could not be solved with a simple solution.

She gritted her teeth, imitated Jia Zhang's tone, and shouted loudly: "Oh no, someone is trying to bully an old woman like me, everyone come and see!"

In the past, my aunt was a very particular person and was very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's harsh methods, but now, she had to resort to such measures.

It was already late at night. Hearing the cries for help, the lights in every household were turned on and the residents in the community got up, put on their clothes and went out.

"Hey, isn't this Aunt Li? Where are you going so late?"
