Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

The third uncle was shocked: "It seems that Yi Zhonghai really did something to offend the He family, and it's not a small thing."

He became even more curious and quickly hid on the south side of the wall of an old man's house, where some firewood was piled, covered with a layer of snow. His only worry was that since people didn't often come here, the ground was covered with snow, which would leave footprints if stepped on.

Fortunately, if you don't pay attention, it's not easy to be discovered if you hide here.

He pressed his ear against the outer wall, and even though he was shivering with cold, he still kept it pressed tightly, for fear of missing any words inside. He listened quietly, hoping to hear the answer, not caring about the snow here, and not considering the cold air outside.

After only a dozen seconds, the door of the uncle's house opened, and the aunt hurried out and walked quickly towards the backyard.

"Hey, this is to go find the deaf old lady. It looks like it's a big deal."

The third uncle was right. When the first aunt saw He Daqing walk into the house aggressively and question loudly, she knew something had happened. She had lived with the first uncle for many years, and she immediately knew what he meant with just one look. She didn't dare to listen to what it was about. She just said hello casually and hurried to the backyard to find help.

He Daqing didn't say anything and sat down directly, looking at Yi Zhonghai with sharp eyes. He Yuzhu and He Yushui stood behind him and didn't say anything either.

"I know you asked an aunt to call the old lady. I will wait for her to see how she explains."

He Daqing also wanted to see if the deaf old lady knew what Yi Zhonghai had done. If she knew, hehe.

After a while, footsteps were heard in the yard. The footsteps were very slow. The deaf old lady came.

He Yuzhu's face looked unhappy. Over the years, he had been very good to the old lady and never left her out when there was something delicious.

But what do you get with a sincere heart?

It was concealment, deception, and calculation, how could he not feel upset and heartbroken!

The door opened and a cold wind blew into the room, making He Yushui shiver.

She wasn't really cold, but she was nervous and felt like she was suffocating. After all, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

An old lady helped the deaf old lady to the door. Yi Zhonghai hurried forward and helped the old lady walk inside. Just as he was about to speak to her in a low voice, He Daqing spoke first.

"Old lady, we meet again."

The deaf old lady looked at He Daqing, but did not meet Yi Zhonghai's eyes. She moved her small feet lightly to the other side of the eight-immortals table and sat down on a chair.

He Daqing spoke first: "Old lady, tell me, how do we solve what Yi Zhonghai did?"

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "Hey, Daqing, I know, Zhonghai sent you here..."

Before she could finish, Yi Zhonghai interrupted her immediately: "Old lady, you don't understand the situation yet, wait until you understand it first."

These words interrupted the old lady. Although she was old, her brain was very good and she knew immediately that something was wrong.

"Speak, old lady."

He Daqing urged, already knowing in his heart that the old lady knew that he had sent money.

However, precisely because he knew this, he became even more angry. These two people were truly unkind people.

"Daqing, Zhonghai didn't give the letter you sent to Zhuzi. It was his fault. Don't be upset. He has taken good care of Zhuzi and his sister over the years."

The deaf old lady spoke slowly and calmly, trying to move people with her emotions.

Although He Daqing was annoyed, he had to admire that the old lady was really quick-witted. He stood up angrily and said loudly: "Hey, old lady, you are pretending to be confused when you know the truth. In this case, I won't talk about it anymore. Okay. Zhuzi, Yushui, let's go."

"Daqing, wait, what are you in such a hurry for?"

The deaf old lady was a little anxious. Needless to say, He Daqing wanted to call the police.

Yi Zhonghai was even more anxious. He was the most frightened. After all, he was the one who stole the money. He said anxiously, "Da Qing..."

Today, He Daqing gave him a surprise attack, which made him dizzy and his brain is still dizzy now.

He didn't expect that this incident would happen so soon, causing many of his plans to fail, and now he has no way to explain it.

He Daqing interrupted him: "Shut up, I won't talk to you, old lady, tell me, how do you solve it?"

He had a reckless look on his face and was ruthless in his heart. "If you say you don't know about Yi Zhonghai's behavior, then let's not talk about it."

As for himself, he really wanted to kill the two people in front of him to vent his hatred.

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "Daqing, Zhuzi and Yushui went to look for you that year, but you refused to see them. Zhuzi and Yushui hated you. When you sent money and letters back, Zhonghai was afraid that the two children would not want them, so he kept them for himself. When they needed them, Zhonghai would definitely give them money to help them. Zhonghai is not a greedy person."

He Daqing knew in his heart that Yi Zhonghai was not a greedy person, but he was greedy for people who could provide for his old age, so he said, "You said he was not greedy for money, I believe you, but I know what he is greedy for."

Yi Zhonghai immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face.

He Daqing added: "My guess was right. You really knew about his misappropriation of money."

Even if he didn't say anything, anger was already evident on the faces of the pillars and the rain.

Yi Zhonghai explained in a low voice: "Daqing, I really didn't intend to embezzle money, nor did I think so much, it's just that things happened and it got to this point."

He Yushui interrupted, "Uncle, you tricked me into writing a letter to my father and you paid for me to send it. I ask you, where is the letter? Where is the letter I wrote? Did you really send it?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's guilty look, He Yushui said, "My brother and I hate my father, and you are the one who fanned the flames."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned even redder and his lips trembled.

The deaf old lady said, "Rainwater, children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was speechless, there was nothing she could do but to rely on her seniority to help him out.

He Daqing laughed and said, "What Yu Shui said is exactly what I wanted to ask."

The deaf old lady clapped her hands and said, "Okay. Daqing, Zhonghai did something wrong in this matter. You went to Zhonghai's house to talk about it, but didn't publicize it in the courtyard or call the police. This shows that you don't want to make a big fuss. Tell me, how do you want to solve it?"

They didn't know, but the third uncle who was hiding aside widened his eyes and said, "Fuck, I knew something must be wrong, but I didn't expect it to be such a big deal."

I didn't expect that He Daqing actually sent money back, but it was cheated by Yi Zhonghai. How long did he send money and how much money did he send? The third uncle was so curious that he felt like there was a cat's claw scratching his heart, which was really itchy.

He Daqing laughed loudly, but his voice was cold: "Old lady, you are a bachelor, really a bachelor. I have to accept it. Eight years ago, I fell into your hands and was tricked by you. I had to leave. I am convinced and admire you. You are right. I am actually dumber than Zhuzi. Haha, I have been laughed at a lot!"
