Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

Xu Xiaoran got off work earlier than Yi Bufan at noon. When she came back, she kept her head slightly lowered all the way. As soon as she entered the central courtyard, she was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"Wife Yi Bufan, I have something to tell you. Please come back to my house for a while."

Yi Zhonghai's voice is not loud and his tone sounds normal.

"If you have anything to say, wait for Bufan to come back and tell him. Bufan is the one who makes the decisions in our family."

Xu Xiaoran didn't look up, and walked towards his home after he finished speaking.

"Wait, I just have something to tell you."

Yi Zhonghai took a few steps forward.

"I haven't told you anything. When Bufan comes back, he and I will come to find you."

Xu Xiaoran said this and walked around Yi Zhonghai and moved forward.

"You, I'm an old man, can't I say a few words to you."

Yi Zhonghai felt very embarrassed.

"I heard from Bufan that since yesterday morning, all three of you managers have been suspended from your duties, and they haven't been reinstated yet, right?"

After Xu Xiaoran finished speaking, the neighbors around him also looked at Yi Zhonghai, as if this was the case.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark, his lips moved a few times, and he didn't know how to refute.

"I just want to ask you something!"

Yi Zhonghai was helpless.

"Then ask!"

Xu Xiaoran paused, still without looking up. Everyone was curious about what Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask.

"Come home and I'll ask you. Auntie is here too!"

Yi Zhonghai emphasized that an old lady was present to avoid misunderstanding.

"If you have anything to ask, just ask here. I still have to go home to cook for Bufan. If it's not important, just wait until Bufan comes back."

Xu Xiaoran still gave the same answer.

"Da da da!"

Just at this moment, the sound of a cane hitting the ground came closer and closer, and the deaf old lady came out from the backyard.

More and more neighbors gathered and looked at the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady had not shown up in these days. Now that she showed up, it was estimated that someone was going to be in trouble.

"Are you Yi Bufan's new daughter-in-law? My old lady is asking if you are okay with this?"

The deaf old lady walked towards Xu Xiaoran with a smile on her face.

"The old lady is the ancestor of the courtyard and lives in the backyard. Please be careful with your words."

Yi Zhonghai gave a brief introduction.

"Of course, just ask."

Xu Xiaoran said lightly.

Naturally, she knew what kind of person this old woman was.

"Let's go back to the house and talk. The old lady has something to tell you in private."

The deaf old lady pointed to Sha Zhu's house, which was closest to the two of them. Anyway, Sha Zhu's house never locked the door.

"If you want to talk, just say it here. Otherwise, let's wait for Bufan to come back and go see you first."

Xu Xiaoran was unmoved and felt a little anxious, wondering why Yi Bufan hadn't come back yet.

However, everyone was a little puzzled. What was going on between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai today? They were both arguing with Yi Bufan’s wife.

"Hey, little girl, is it that difficult to ask you something?"

"Are you afraid that we will eat you?"

"go!"

The deaf old lady came over and started to pull Xu Xiaoran.

"stop!"

Xu Damao, who had just returned, saw this scene, ran over, grabbed the deaf old lady's hand and pushed her away.

By the way, I also gave Xu Xiaoran a push.

But at this moment, Xu Damao saw the profile of Xu Xiaoran with her hair flying, and his eyes widened.

“You, Xiao Ran…”

How could Xu Damao not recognize his own sister?

When Xu Xiaoran saw that Xu Damao recognized her, she trembled and became very nervous.

Ever since arriving at the Siheyuan, I have been avoiding meeting Xu Damao. The scene just now was really too fast and I didn't have time to avoid it.

Xu Damao glared at Xu Xiaoran, as if to say that he would deal with her later.

How can I not clean it up? I, as a brother, didn't even know that I had become someone else's wife.

"Old lady, everyone is watching, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao originally wanted to help Yi Bufan protect Xu Xiaoran, and now that he found out that she was his sister, he felt even more obliged to do so.

"Xu Damao, please move aside. Do I need to tell you when I'm doing something, old lady?!"

The deaf old lady tapped the ground with her cane, and she had no good feelings towards Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, the old lady just wants to ask Yi Bufan's wife a few questions."

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to explain.

"Then ask. Is it necessary to drag the question out?"

Xu Damao didn't believe their nonsense.

"This matter needs to be asked privately."

Yi Zhonghai whispered again.

"Okay, who should I ask? Shazhu's house, or yours? I'll accompany you!"

Xu Damao had no intention of giving in.

"We asked Yi Bufan's wife, what are you accompanying her for?!"

The deaf old lady had a stiff expression on her face as she stared at Xu Damao.

"She is my...my brother's wife, so I can naturally accompany her. Otherwise, you can just wait for Yi Bufan to come back."

"The security department is almost off work, and will be back soon."

Xu Damao almost said that she was his sister.

However, I don’t know why this girl kept it a secret, so I won’t talk about it for now.

"you!"

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Xu Damao, how about this? You, I, and everyone else will wait outside Zhuzi's house."

"Let the old lady and Yi Bufan's wife go inside to talk."

“There’s glass here too, so you can see!”

Yi Zhonghai thought of a compromise.

"Xiao...Xiao Fan, my wife, what do you think?"

"I'll be watching at the door!"

In fact, Xu Damao had already accepted it and didn't feel anything about it. The main reason was that he also wanted to know what the old woman was going to do.

"Ok."

Xu Xiaoran also agreed, since his brother had said so.

"Wife Yi Bufan, we know that it was you who went to the police station to find the police that night."

After the deaf old lady entered the room and closed the door, she couldn't wait to speak.

"um, yes!"

Xu Xiaoran admitted it directly, which surprised the deaf old lady. This was different from what she had imagined.

I originally thought I would just play dumb.

"Who told you to call the police? We have always solved the problems in our courtyard by ourselves. Look at you. You called the police and made such a big fuss. Zhuzi was arrested and may even go to jail now! The three managers have also been suspended."

The deaf old lady gets angry when she talks about this.

As long as the police station is not involved, the street office will not make a big deal out of it. They can solve the problem in their yard and naturally there will be no problem.

"It was my Bufan who asked me to find the police!"

Xu Xiaoran answered honestly. Yi Bufan didn't ask her to hide it, and it wasn't something to be ashamed of.

"It is indeed Yi Bufan."

"It seems that Yi Bufan must have carried the pillar into Qin Huairu's bed, and it must have been Yi Bufan who tore the pillar and Qin Huairu's clothes."

"Don't you ever think about whether Yi Bufan did anything to Qin Huairu?"

The deaf old lady began to brainwash Xu Xiaoran based on her guess with Yi Zhonghai.
