Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

Cao Haotian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He thought he had done everything possible.

But the old man Yan Bugui still wanted to blame him for his son's death.

"Old man, considering that your son died in an accident, I don't want to argue with you, but you should not be so shameless."

"I heard from your wife that she was scolded by Jia Zhang, and I also saw the theft of the ashes this morning, so I wanted to testify for you.

Besides, I didn't tie up your family of five and take them to the Intermediate Court. Why are you pushing the responsibility onto me?"

Cao Haotian argued with reason.

Afterwards, the police came up to question him, and Cao Haotian told them everything that had happened before.

Including when he came back at night, he ran into the drunk Yan Jiecheng not far from the east side of the courtyard and helped him back to his bed at home.

Then he accompanied Yan Bugui and his family to the Central Courtyard to confront Jia Zhang.

Cao Haotian told the police everything.

Although what he said was sincere and heartfelt, it was both true and false.

After Cao Haotian finished speaking, Yan Bugui continued to speak to everyone:

“My son usually eats at home in the evening and rarely drinks alcohol at night.

But today he was drunk outside and passed out. I suspect you must have made my son drink, so you must be responsible."

Then he knelt down in front of the police and said, "Comrade Public Security, please investigate this matter thoroughly. My son's death was unjust!"

Since her husband had already knelt, the third aunt quickly knelt down as well.

"Don't be like this, hurry up and get up, we will definitely investigate it thoroughly."

The public security comrades hurriedly helped Yan Bugui and his wife up.

Then the police officer said to Cao Haotian: "Did you drink with the deceased at night?"

Cao Haotian shook his head and denied it: "I did drink a few ounces of white wine at night, but I drank it at Lou Bancheng's house.

Lou Bancheng's daughter Lou Xiao'e and I are dating, and we are going to get married soon.

I spent the whole day with Lou Xiao'e today, so I had dinner at her house in the evening.

After dinner, I rode my bike back here and met the drunk Yan Jiecheng not far to the east.

Since we lived in the same courtyard and knew each other, I brought him back and personally helped him to the bed in their house.

This is what happened, everything I said is true, you can go and investigate..."

Cao Haotian is not afraid of the police investigating his movements.

Because at night, whether he was going from Lou Xiao'e's house to Yu Lin's house, or returning to No. 95 Courtyard from Yu Lin's house, he always avoided passers-by.

Besides, Yu Li would definitely choose to help him keep it secret.

Even if Yu Li told the police about his going there at night,

Cao Haotian was not worried at all because he also had corresponding ways to deal with it.

At worst, Cao Haotian would say that this woman was lying on purpose because she was resentful of him because he married Lou Xiao'e.

In short, the police had no evidence to prove that Yan Jiecheng's death was related to him.

Therefore, at this moment, Cao Haotian felt unusually calm.

At this time, Liu Guangmei said: "Teacher Yan, we all feel very sorry for your son's sudden accident.

But you can't put the blame on Cao Haotian for this accidental death!"

Cao Haotian knew very well that Liu Guangmei stood up to speak for him at this time, naturally with the purpose of winning his favor and then preventing him from telling about his past scandals.

"Third uncle, don't say that Cao Haotian didn't drink with your son. Even if they did, you can't blame him. After all, he fell into the cesspool while using the toilet..."

Sha Zhu also started to speak up for Cao Haotian.

Not for any other reason, mainly because Cao Haotian paid back his 100 yuan debt tonight.

Liu Haizhong also came over: "That's right, Old Yan, the most urgent thing now is to quickly get some clean water to wash Jie Cheng, and then change him into clean clothes. I'm also thinking about how to deal with the aftermath..."

After being persuaded by other people in the courtyard, Yan Bugui sighed and lowered his head.

Afterwards, under the organization and arrangement of the second uncle Liu Haizhong.

Three or five young men went home and brought buckets and tap water to wash the feces and urine off Yan Jiecheng's body.

After rinsing, everyone found a piece of plastic paper, built a shed in front of the courtyard, and then carried Yan Jiecheng into the shed.

The third aunt went home and found a set of clean clothes, and the couple helped their son change into them personally.

Yan Bugui took out three yuan and asked his second son Yan Jiefang to buy a pottery basin, incense, candles and paper money...

Cao Haotian did not help.

Firstly, he didn't know how to help, and secondly, he was very upset by what Yan Bugui had just said.

So I didn't help at all and just went back to the house to lie down and rest.

But not long after he lay down, Cao Haotian heard noise coming from the middle courtyard.

After a while, Xu Damao knocked on the door and shouted, "Cao Haotian, come out quickly, the second uncle is going to hold a meeting for the whole hospital."

Cao Haotian stood up and opened the door, only to see twenty or thirty people sitting in groups of three or four in the open space in the middle courtyard.

Liu Haizhong sat at the center of the eight-immortals table, holding a large teacup and looking straight ahead.

The official is not high-ranking, but his status is quite impressive.

Cao Haotian really wanted to laugh.

"What kind of meeting?"

Xu Damao replied: "Second Uncle organized everyone in our courtyard to donate money to Yan Bugui's family..."
