Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Even Chen Xu hadn't expected that his plan to join forces with Xu Damao to trick Sha Zhu would end up forcing Yi Zhonghai into a dilemma.

If he knew the current situation, he would probably just say "nice" in his heart.

He was still brooding over the fact that the old man Yi Zhonghai had forced himself to surrender twice.

The old man relied on his strong hands to control him, and Chen Xu planned to return the favor when he got better.

But no one expected that Yi Zhonghai's retribution would come so quickly.

Yi Zhonghai could no longer sit still. He ignored the frightened old lady next to him and went straight out to the backyard. This matter probably could not be concealed. He had to prepare for a rainy day. The only person he could discuss this with was the deaf old lady who had been taking advantage of him.

The deaf old lady had just fallen asleep when she was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

The deaf old lady replied impatiently, her voice full of resentment. She was old and her energy was not as good as before. She even had difficulty falling asleep. Now she was finally about to fall asleep, but she was disturbed. This made her very dissatisfied.

"Ma'am, it's me. I want to discuss something with you."

"Can't you talk about it tomorrow?"

There was silence outside for a few seconds, and then the voice sounded again.

"I'm afraid it won't be too late tomorrow."

The deaf old lady was a little surprised. She really couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai came to her at this time and spoke so seriously.

"Hold on..."

After responding and sighing slightly, the old lady, who didn't want to come out of the warm bed at all, finally had to get up, put on her clothes and open the door.

Looking at the deaf old lady yawning continuously, Yi Zhonghai didn't pay much attention to her. He was a little panicked at the moment, so he didn't have time to care whether the old lady had insomnia or not.

After Yi Zhonghai explained the whole story, the deaf old lady suddenly woke up from her sleepiness. She pointed at Yi Zhonghai with a trembling finger and was speechless for a long time.

"you you..."

The deaf old lady never thought that Yi Zhonghai would actually do such a thing. Based on her understanding of Yi Zhonghai, although a thousand yuan is a lot, Yi Zhonghai would not take it seriously. His current monthly salary is more than 80 yuan. Excluding daily expenses, he can earn this amount of money in one or two years.

Yi Zhonghai was also helpless. These were things that happened back then, but he didn't expect to suffer the consequences ten years later.

Back then, he did plan to train Sha Zhu to be a caregiver for the elderly, but later Jia Dongxu took his place. The deaf old lady was always against it. Compared with Jia Dongxu, she was more optimistic about Sha Zhu, and this was also the source of their disagreement.

Sha Zhu is a formal sworn relative of the deaf old lady, and is her real eldest grandson. Otherwise, the deaf old lady would not have run around for Sha Zhu's affairs. Now that Yi Zhonghai has caused such a scene, it would be strange if she is not angry.

"You've really become capable. You even embezzled the money of the younger generation..."

The deaf old lady managed to suppress her anger and said with an unhappy look on her face.

"I'm doing this for Shazhu's own good..."

Yi Zhonghai tried to argue as usual, but when he saw the deaf old lady looking at him as if he were a fool, he stopped talking without finishing his words.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes. It’s fine if you say this to others, but why are you acting out Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with me?

"Well, that's what's going on. What do you think we should do?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped pretending. His little tricks really didn't work in front of the deaf old lady. In the end, he could only spread his hands, indicating that this was the way it was and she could do whatever she wanted.

The deaf old lady was infuriated by Yi Zhonghai's shamelessness. You caused the trouble yourself, and now you are throwing the problem to me?

But that was exactly what Yi Zhonghai was planning. The two of them were in cahoots with each other in the courtyard, and they were like grasshoppers on the same rope. If Yi Zhonghai didn't have a good end, you, the deaf old lady, wouldn't be able to escape either.

Yi Zhonghai's next move was exactly what he had guessed He Daqing would do.

If Sha Zhu has a hard time, you, Yi Zhonghai, will be unlucky too.

But Yi Zhonghai is not having a good time. The deaf old lady's ending will not be much better without Yi Zhonghai, the person who supports her in the hospital.

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai also knew some things about the deaf old lady.

For example, the origin of the deaf old lady's status as a five-guarantee household. The fact that she, an old lady with bound feet, could become a five-guarantee household was quite a problem in itself. Although Yi Zhonghai did not know everything, what he knew was enough.

Therefore, Chen Xu's slight move would reach the limit of the courtyard. If something goes wrong, everyone would be in trouble.

But this guy has already picked it up himself, so no matter what the final outcome is, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

It is exactly the same as Yi Zhonghai's conjecture.

After finally knocking on He Yushui's door, the girl was sitting on the small bed with her neck stretched out, her head turned to the side and her lips pouted, not wanting to pay attention to her father.

But He Daqing was so experienced that he could even deal with Lou Xiao'e's mother in the future. How could a little girl like He Yushui be his opponent? After a few words, He Yushui threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.

"Dad, you didn't lie to me?"

"Of course, I had no choice but to leave back then. I was afraid that it would affect you and Zhuzi, so I had no choice but to do so."

He Daqing's words were not completely false, but nine out of ten were true and one was false. At least the two siblings went to Baoding, and he didn't even meet them, which was obviously his problem. However, these were enough to deal with He Yushui. Using this method on a little girl was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

After a few words of guidance, Yu Shui began to tell He Daqing about the experiences of the two siblings over the years, which made He Daqing furious.

With his cleverness, how could he not discover that Sha Zhu was being used as a gun by Yi Zhonghai, and that the deaf old man was also responsible for this matter, but Yi Zhonghai was more responsible? In the end, the two of them were fine, but Sha Zhu was put in jail. How could He Daqing tolerate this?

I just didn't expect this was the beginning.

When Yu Shui told him that he and his brother almost starved to death and were able to survive only because the old man occasionally gave them some food, He Daqing was surprised.

Although the money he sent back was not much, it was enough to support the two siblings. They should not be starving to death.

"So, Yi Zhonghai only gave you a little food?"

Facing his father's words, Yu Shui did not realize that He Daqing was on the verge of exploding. Obviously, He Daqing had already guessed the problem, and now asking Yu Shui was just to confirm it.

Yu Shui nodded seriously.

"Yes, it's already a lot. An old man gave us some, but it wasn't enough. In the end, an old woman secretly gave us some food, so we were able to survive."

He Daqing's face was terribly gloomy.

Yi Zhonghai, very good, you are amazing.

He never thought that this old guy would dare to embezzle the living expenses sent back by He Daqing.

Yu Shui leaned on her father and didn't notice that He Daqing was gritting his teeth.

He Daqing took two deep breaths and forcibly restrained the little universe that was about to explode.

"Yushui, it's late now. Go to bed early. Tomorrow we will go visit your brother."

"Okay."

Yushui looked very happy, she felt it was great that her father came back...
