Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Zhou Zheng smiled and shook his head.

"Deaf woman, you are singing against the country."

"The Qing Dynasty... perished long ago."

"Do you still want to restore feudalism?"

The deaf woman immediately retorted.

"I, old woman, don't want to restore feudalism."

"Then I'd like to ask you how to repay your kindness in saving my life."

Zhou Zheng did not directly answer the deaf woman's words, but asked back: "Is this the reason why you forced He Daqing to leave?"

The deaf woman said as a matter of course: "That's right..."

"Didn't you say that the old woman was plotting against Zhuzi?"

"Let me just say this..."

"When Daqing left the courtyard, he tacitly agreed to use Zhuzi as a 'mortality'. If you help Zhuzi like this, aren't you putting him in an unkind and unjust position?"

After his excitement, Yi Zhonghai calmed down and responded to the deaf woman's words.

"Zhou Zheng, the old lady is right."

"That's true, but I didn't point it out because I didn't want to hurt Zhuzi's self-esteem."

"Now that it has come to this, I have to say it."

"Also, there is a letter of guarantee from the Qing brothers, which is currently kept in Yan Fugui's hands."

"You can wait for Yan Fugui to come back and ask him about the situation."

"We... never lied."

Although Zhou Zheng had investigated what happened back then, this kind of "hidden truth" was not something he could find out.

At the same time, he also understood why these people in the original book treated He Yuzhu like that.

According to the narration of the deaf old woman and Yi Zhonghai, the various unreasonable aspects of the original work become understandable.

But so what?

Since Zhou Zheng has come together with He Yushui, he will never allow the deaf woman and Yi Zhonghai and others to plot against He Yuzhu again, and he will not acknowledge the so-called "life-saving grace".

He said in a cold tone:

"This is not a reason for you to plot against He Yuzhu."

"What do you mean by 'life-saving grace'? The law is about 'human rights'. You guys don't treat He Yuzhu as a human being, and the law won't allow that."

"What's more, the disaster will not affect my family."

"The grudges of the previous generation should not be borne by the next generation."

"No one is born a slave."

"Back then... you forced Uncle Daqing away, and left 16-year-old Zhuzi to support 8-year-old Yushui. How cruel of you."

"Their behavior is no different from that of animals."

"Now it is even preventing He Yuzhu from getting married."

"Don't you have any conscience at all?"

He paused for a moment.

Suddenly he looked at everyone in the yard.

"During the famine in 1958, was there anyone in this courtyard who didn't eat the 'affordable grain' I provided?"

"Does this count as a 'life-saving favor'?"

"If you follow your logic, then everyone in this yard would be considered my slaves."

"Do you think this makes sense?"

At this time, Liu Haizhong stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Zhou Zheng is right."

"Old Yi, Aunt Tan, you guys are really showing gratitude and return the favor."

"Even if it's the 'life-saving favor', it's owed to Lao He. It's not Sha Zhu's turn to repay this favor."

"Besides, no matter how great the favor is, it will be repaid one day."

"Do you really want to cling to this pillar forever?"

"This is not in line with human nature, let alone legal principles."

"The new era doesn't care about this... this old era's... um... dregs. We can't go against the country."

He Yuzhu was quite shocked today and his mind was still confused. He never expected that the story behind the incident was like this.

He looked at Yang Xiaoman with a wry smile.

Yang Xiaoman held his hand tightly.

'Let's see if we can solve it.'

"If we can't solve it, I'm afraid we'll have to go to the Women's Federation."

Zhou Zheng knocked on the table.

dang dang...

"Quiet……"

"No matter what, the dregs of the old times must not appear in the yard again."

"Yi Zhonghai, the deaf woman, Zhang Cuihua..."

"Listen carefully."

"If I find out that you are plotting against He Yuzhu again, I will call the police over. You should explain to them what is meant by... life-saving grace. See if the police will listen to your explanation."

“Don’t take any chances.”

"I think scheming against others is not a crime. In Dongcheng District, whoever I say is guilty is guilty."

"Haha, if you don't agree, let's try it..."

The residents were also speechless.

You should have said this earlier.

I should have known earlier who would dare to plot against He Yuzhu.

Isn't this "fishing enforcement"?

The deaf woman had not originally intended to plot against He Yuzhu, but after hearing what Zhou Zheng said, she quickly made the promise.

"The Zhou family kid..."

"Since you have said so much, it would be ungrateful for me to plot against Zhuzi again."

"I also promise here that the past will be written off."

"From now on, we will live our lives normally."

"Do you think this is the case?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head, and his tone did not reveal whether he was happy or angry.

"no……"

"You have been plotting against He Yuzhu for almost ten years."

"If I hadn't taken care of He Yushui for the past ten years, I'm afraid He Yushui wouldn't be alive today."

"Now that we've talked about it today."

"Then we can't let this matter go..."

"In this case, it's not practical to ask you for money, and asking you for your house as compensation seems to be bullying you. Let's make the next best thing. You give the deed of the west wing to Zhuzi as compensation. I know you still have the deed of the west wing."

This statement came out.

The residents of the courtyard were all shocked.

They really didn't expect that the west wing, which was used as a "vegetable garden", actually had an owner, and they didn't expect that the deaf woman was willing to give up the west wing for them to grow vegetables.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to be grateful to the deaf woman or to...

In short, everything is complicated inside.

Yi Zhonghai immediately objected: "No..."

"The west wing is now a vegetable garden shared by all residents of the compound. How can I give it to you?"

“Where do you let the residents grow their vegetables?”

"This……"

He wanted to say more but was interrupted by Zhou Zheng.

"Lao Yi, I'm not discussing this with you..."

"You can plant whatever vegetables you want. Haven't there been a lot of unpleasantness over vegetable gardens in recent years?"

"Grow vegetables, grow vegetables, grow your mother's stinky cunt!"

"Back then, in order to 'win people's hearts', you asked your godmother to use the west wing as a vegetable garden. Did you think I didn't know what you were thinking?"

"If you're not satisfied, call the street office over tomorrow."

"Ask them whether they allow vegetable cultivation in the west wing?"

"..."

The deaf old woman sighed deeply.

"okay!"

"Xiao Yi is ignorant."

"The Zhou family kid..."

"From now on... this west wing will be given to Zhuzi as compensation."

She stood up tremblingly.

"Gui Fen..."

"Hel me back."

At this moment, she seemed to have lost all her energy and vitality and instantly aged ten years.

"Is it all in vain after all?"

She didn't even dare to continue talking to Zhou Zhengbai.

The residents didn't react, but she was worried.

The story Zhou Zheng retold not only explained what happened back then, but also pointed out the problems with Yi Zhonghai, Zhang Cuihua, and her background.

It didn't affect her that much.

But to Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu was fatal.

"The remnants of feudalism..."

Wang Guifen felt even more complicated.

She also has a secret in her heart.

When she became a prostitute, she drank the "contraceptive soup" which ruined her body and doomed her to be childless.

The fact that Yi Zhonghai accidentally ingested the "contraceptive soup" during their first date was a secret she kept deep in her heart.

You should know that men are not allowed to drink the palace secret recipe of "contraceptive soup".

She felt indebted to Yi Zhonghai, so she always went along with Yi Zhonghai in everything.

But today...

'Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's child...'

"I dare say..."

"Haha, I am the only one who has no descendants."

She looked at the Jia family with disgust.

Then he withdrew his gaze, helped the deaf woman walk to the backyard, his back looking desolate.

However, Zhou Zheng also felt that the "whole-institute meeting" was meaningless.

Originally he wanted to expose Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical mask.

But this idea is ridiculous. The residents are not stupid. They all know Yi Zhonghai's true face. It just adds to the laughter.

Would unveiling his mask in public make him feel so ashamed that he would die?

Do not make jokes.

He was even willing to kneel down to Zhou Zheng in public.

face……

How much is it worth?

"Go away."

"Don't plant vegetables in the west wing this year. I'll keep them for later use."

"If you don't agree, just touch me."
