Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no rush to check the damage. It is more important to find Qin Huairu. Human lives are at stake!"

"Aren't there so many people going there? One more wouldn't make a difference. I'd better take a look first before I can feel at ease." What Sha Zhu said made sense. There were so many people in the hospital, one more wouldn't make a difference.

"No! I said no and it means no!" Yi Zhonghai was completely at a loss now and shouted loudly, while blocking the entrance to the cellar.

Now everyone could see that something was wrong with Yi Zhonghai. He was trying so hard to stop Sha Zhu from going in, so there must be something fishy in the cellar!

"Lao Yi, get out of the way. This is Zhuzi's cellar. You have no right to stop Zhuzi from entering! Jiefang, Guangtian, the two of you pull Lao Yi out of the way!" Yan Bugui said.

Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian had just returned from military service and were quite skilled, so they could definitely stop Old Yi. Just now, he didn't say a word, but was silently observing Yi Zhonghai's expression. He was sure that Qin Huairu must be in the cellar!

Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian stepped forward and held Yi Zhonghai's arms on the left and right. Seeing this, Sha Zhu no longer hesitated and went straight into the cellar. Even if Liu Haizhong was stupid, he knew that there must be something fishy in the cellar, so he followed him in.

Sha Zhu fumbled and turned on the cellar light. Although the bulb was of low intensity, it was enough to illuminate the entire cellar. Since it was summer, there was nothing to block the view in the cellar. The two of them saw Qin Huairu huddled in the corner and shivering.

"Qin Huairu! Why are you here?" Liu Haizhong asked in surprise.

"What? Qin Huairu is in the cellar?"

"Didn't Yi Zhonghai just say that he didn't see Qin Huairu?"

"Mom, mom, are you in there?"

"I told you, they are hiding in there and dare not come out. They must be up to no good!"

"Hiss, is there really someone cheating in there?"

Yi Zhonghai's face looked uglier than if his father had died, and Wang Sufen's face wasn't much better. His wife and Qin Huairu went into the cellar together late at night, so they must have done something bad. Is this slutty vixen so charming?

During the day, she said she wanted to make the Jia family look bad and cut off all ties with them, but at night she went into the cellar with them and was caught red-handed. Now Wang Sufen is as calm as a volcano about to erupt, accumulating strength and waiting for the eruption.

"Yi Zhonghai, didn't you say you didn't see Qin Huairu? We were locked up together and you said you didn't see her?" There was anger in Liu Haizhong's calm words. He felt that he was almost played like a fool by Yi Zhonghai.

"No, everyone, just listen to my quibbling. No, it's an explanation!" Yi Zhonghai said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

At this time, Qin Huairu saw that she had been caught in the act and had no way to escape, so she followed Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong out of the cellar.

Everyone booed when they saw Qin Huairu coming out of the cellar. Even though Qin Huairu was thick-skinned, she still covered her face and was afraid to see anyone.

"Mom!" Xiaodang shouted and threw himself into Qin Huairu's arms.

"Okay, now that the person has been found, tell us what happened." Yan Bugui said.

"What are you talking about? She must have been found having an affair and locked in the cellar!" Someone said in a pinched voice from behind the crowd, obviously having some concerns.

Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu both raised their heads, wanting to see who this person was, pushing them into the fire pit. Do you really think we are vegetarians? Just let us pass this level, and then I will show you how I will retaliate against you!

However, the two of them looked around and didn't find anything unusual. Instead, they felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone.

"Master, you should tell me. It was you who asked me to meet you in the cellar." Qin Huairu said pitifully, completely shirking her responsibility.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth in anger, but he still had to say: "This is what happened. Yesterday, Qin Huairu and I went to the police station to write a letter of apology. Huairu said that her family was in great difficulty and could barely make ends meet, so I wanted to help her. But I didn't have any money with me at the time, so we agreed to meet in the cellar in the evening and give Qin Huairu some money."

Qin Huairu also took out the money and some food coupons that Yi Zhonghai had given her in advance and showed them to everyone.

"What does this prove? Maybe this is the price of prostitution!" someone else said, pinching his nose.

"Who? Who is slandering me? Stand up, what's the point of saying bad things about people behind their backs!"

"Old Yi, even if you are helping her, why didn't you give the money to Qin Huairu when you just came back? Why did you have to give it so late at night?" Yan Bugui continued to ask.

"I...I..." Yi Zhonghai muttered for a while, but he was thinking of a countermeasure in his heart. In the end, he decided to just make fun of himself, which was better than being accused of being a slut.

"I'm afraid of being seen! Everyone knows that I'm a level 4 worker now, and my salary is just that much. Several families in the courtyard are in financial difficulty. If I help the Jia family and someone sees me, I won't be able to help them all!"

"Dongxu recognized me as his godfather before, so I have the responsibility and obligation to take care of the orphans and widows left by Dongxu. I admit that I have some selfish motives. Although I adopted the child, I am not young after all. When the child grows up, he will need someone to help him. I thought about helping the Jia family and establishing a good relationship with them, so that Qin Huairu and Banggeng can help Ping'an and Jiahui in the future."

It has to be said that Yi Zhonghai's words were righteous and awe-inspiring, and they directly established his lofty image.

What did he do wrong? He was just an old father who cared about his young children. It was just that the time and place he chose to provide financial assistance were a little inappropriate.

"Qin Huairu was clearly in the cellar. Why did you say you didn't see Qin Huairu before?"

"I... I'm afraid that if I say it directly, people will misunderstand me. There are always gossips around widows. After all, it's not appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Since you knew it was wrong, why did you choose to be in the cellar so late at night? What do you think you were thinking?"

"The gong that called everyone to the meeting was so loud, did you hear it?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say that he didn't hear it, but that was a clear lie. "I heard it."

"If you heard it, why didn't you say hello to everyone? Everyone is very busy in the morning, you are just wasting everyone's time."

"I was afraid that if I greeted everyone loudly, they would misunderstand me, so I wanted to wait for someone to come over and let him secretly open the lock. This way the impact would be smaller." Yi Zhonghai sweated profusely on his forehead.

"When did you discover the cellar door was locked?"

"We talked a few words after we came in last night, and then I gave the money and the ticket to Qin Huairu. When I wanted to go out, I found that the door was locked!"

"Then why didn't you call for help when you found the door was locked? Instead of staying inside all night?"

"Everyone was asleep at the time, and I was afraid of disturbing everyone's rest so late at night."

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, your answer is full of loopholes! I will report this matter to the street office and the factory. Well, everyone is busy, let's go!" Liu Haizhong said.

At that moment, everyone dispersed, but everyone with a discerning eye knew that Yi Zhonghai was definitely not telling the truth, and he and Qin Huairu were definitely having an affair. At that moment, everyone was very excited, and they couldn't wait to tell others this explosive news!
