Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

52

"I... I didn't lie." As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he glanced at the deaf old lady.

Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's child. This is a secret known only to the old lady. Even Zhang Cuihua is kept in the dark.

As long as the old lady remained silent, he would never publicly acknowledge this son.

However, Yang Jun had no way to deal with this.

Yang Jun did not continue to ask Yi Zhonghai or Zhang Cuihua, but just looked at the deaf old lady.

The old lady happened to look up and caught Yang Jun's gaze. She felt uneasy and realized that there was no way to avoid it today.

That night, the two of them talked in a room for more than two hours, which included a decision - the old lady stood on Yang Jun's side unconditionally.

Human nature often has a selfish side, especially at such critical moments of life and death, few people can stick to the moral bottom line.

This deaf old lady is no exception.

The older you get, the more fear you have about life and death.

She was too attached to the world, so even if Yi Zhonghai exposed her identity, she didn't care at the moment. She just wanted to delay it as long as possible, even if there would be storms and turmoil ahead.

The deaf old lady stood up tremblingly, and walked to Yi Zhonghai with the support of a wooden pillar.

She looked up at Yang Jun with pleading eyes, hoping that Yang Jun would show mercy and spare Yi Zhonghai.

But when she saw Yang Jun's determined eyes, the old lady sighed deeply.

Facing Yi Zhonghai, she shook her head and said, "Xiao Yi, why don't you explain it here? It's nothing. It's just a life at most."

The old lady leaned against the wooden pillar, knelt on the ground, patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"You are different from me. I have no children, but your family is rich.

You are already this old. If you keep silent, will you take this secret to the grave? Do you want your descendants to recognize your ancestors? "

After hearing these words, Yi Zhonghai's expression seemed relaxed, with a moist light flashing in his eyes. He stared at the old lady for a while, and finally let out a long sigh towards the sky.

"That's all."

He helped the old lady up, bursting into tears and said, "Old lady, I've said it."

In an instant, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have aged by a dozen years. After wiping away the tears from his eyes, he pleaded with Yang Jun and others:

"My dear uncles, Mr. Liu and Mr. Yan, can you please promise me one thing?"

Yang Jun remained silent, and saw the Second Master looking at him.

"Go ahead."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu and her children:

"I did this. It has nothing to do with them. Can you..."

Before he could finish his words, Yang Jun interrupted him: "We are not warlords. We will not implicate others just because of guilt. We must take responsibility for our mistakes."

"All right……"

Not long after Mr. Jia passed away, Zhang Cuihua couldn't stand the loneliness and quickly had an affair with Yi Zhonghai. The two were like the meeting of the Goddess of Lightning and Thunder, and the spark of love immediately gave birth to Jia Dongxu.

When the deaf old lady found out about this, she scolded them severely and warned them not to cross the line again.

No one knows whether they are still together after this.

Before Yi Zhonghai had finished speaking, Jia Zhang suddenly stood up and retorted:

"Yi Guhun, stop talking nonsense! Dongxu is clearly the child of me and Old Man Jia. Although I admit that we had a past, he can never be your biological child."

The second brother questioned: "Oh, sister-in-law, you two have such a deep relationship. In this situation, you are still protecting your husband. If you really loved him, why would you cheat on your husband?"

Jia Zhang was speechless and said, "That night... I was just drunk. It was all because of Yi Guhun."

The grandfather asked: "Since you were forced at the time, did you call the police afterwards?"

Jia Zhang remained silent, seeming to be in the wrong.

The great grandfather then asked: "So did you take the initiative to accept it?"

Jia Zhang insisted: "Whether it was voluntary or passive, it is not enough to prove that Dongxu belongs to Yi Guhun. Anyway, Dongxu belongs to the Jia family."

At this moment, the deaf old lady stepped forward, trembling towards Zhang Cuihua, pointed her cane at her and shouted: "Girl, you are still stubborn even now! Xiao Jia died in February of the year before last, and Dongxu was born in March. You actually want to recognize the son of the Jia family as your relative?"

The deaf old lady's words were like thunder in a clear sky, shaking the entire courtyard. This hidden secret was like a drop of cold water falling into an oil pan, immediately triggering a boiling discussion.

Everyone was analyzing this unprecedented big news with great emotion.

Old man Jia passed away in February, but Mrs. Jia Zhang gave birth to Dongxu in March of the next year.

If he was really Jia's child, did he stay in his mother's womb for more than eleven months?

People often say: "Ten months of pregnancy."

But how are these thirteen months calculated?

Obviously, any normal person would understand that Dongxu is not Old Man Jia’s son.

Zhang Cuihua must have done something she shouldn't have done without telling the old man and committed the sin of having an affair.

Wow, this piece of melon is so juicy that I guess the two hundred-plus people in the yard can’t digest all the gossip.

Sha Zhu suddenly had an idea and asked with his head tilted: "Grandfather, you may have remembered it wrongly. Maybe Dongxu is the reincarnation of Nezha. It takes three full years in my mother's belly to tell for sure."

The old lady angrily hit Sha Zhu and glared at him with disdain: "Silly grandson, I think you have been pregnant with a human-shaped placenta for thirteen months to become like this. No wonder you gave birth to a silly Zhu with an empty head."

Sha Zhu chuckled foolishly and scratched his head.

At this time, how could Xu Damao miss the opportunity to tease Sha Zhu:

"Shazhu, it turns out you stayed in your mother's womb for thirteen months! No wonder your nickname is 'Shazhu', haha."

Sha Zhu fought back fearlessly: "You grandson thief, you want to have fun, right? You should really care about how to make your hens lay eggs."

Xu Damao hit back: "Shazhu, you are the old rooster that doesn't lay eggs."

Qian Xiao'e beside him couldn't help but join in the laughter: "Silly Zhu, what's wrong with you..."

Xu Damao and Qian Xiao'e have been married for many years but have no children, which is an embarrassing topic.

Whenever Sha Zhu quarreled with Xu Damao, he would use this as an excuse to ridicule him, but now that he has formed a confederacy with Teacher Ran, Xu Damao has lost this point of attack.

Facing the angry Qian Xiaoe and Xu Damao, Sha Zhu responded calmly:

"You bastard, I am not single either. Believe it or not, by this time next year I will have a cousin for everyone."

"Stop dreaming, you stupid Shazhu. Our brother Damao and you won't stop."

Looking at the arrogant Xu Damao, although he appears tough on the outside, he is actually afraid of the powerful force in the courtyard.

Since childhood, Sha Zhu always managed to catch him off guard and would only use dirty tricks when he least expected it.

Yang Jun sometimes wondered if the reason he couldn't have his own offspring was because of the accident when he was kicked by Sha Zhu, which caused damage to that guy's body.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet," Erye saw the noise below and slapped the table several times before the crowd calmed down a little.

Yang Jun thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Since Yi Zhonghai and Zhang Cuihua have admitted their unconventional relationship, now is the time to consider how to deal with this issue."

Afterwards, everyone in the yard began a heated discussion, speculating on how the three masters would deal with Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang.

Erye expressed his opinion: "This matter is of a serious nature. I suggest that they be directly handed over to the police station for handling.

"

The Third Master suggested: "After all, it is a matter of the past. I think it is better to solve it in the yard.

"

The second master rebuked the teacher surnamed Yan: "Old Yan, you are still a people's teacher, how can your thoughts be so superficial? Such serious behavior must be severely punished. If it is allowed to develop, it may become an example for others and cause chaos in the hospital.

"

San Ye then added: "This matter is not a big deal but it is not a small matter either. After all, it involves two families. If it is not handled carefully, it may lead to other people being involved.

"

Yang Jun was thinking of a countermeasure in his mind and decided that he must make sure that Yi Zhonghai could not make a comeback.

Considering the huge setback that Yi Zhonghai had suffered, if he was easily forgiven as in the past, it would most likely lead to him going all out in despair, or even taking revenge on his family. So this time Yang Jun understood that he had to cut off his possibility of a comeback.

For the dull-witted shrew Jia Zhang, it was only appropriate for her to return to her rural hometown.

When Yang Jun looked at the deaf old lady, he saw a look of expectation and pleading.

She longed for Yang Jun to let Yi Zhonghai go, even if it was just to temporarily ensure his life.

The theft and violation of sexual relations were two crimes that were beyond the scope of their in-house handling, so Yang Jun made the following suggestion: "Based on the previous theft and the current violation, this matter is beyond our jurisdiction. I suggest that it be handed over to the street office for a decision.

"

Yang Jun weighed the matter over and over again before making this decision.

The truth is that as the boss of the hospital, he actually has no power to deal with such a major incident. It was not out of kindness that he did this because he knew that if the case was transferred to the street office, more severe punishment might be imposed there.

Rather than imposing symbolic punishment in the court, he felt that it would be fairer and more reasonable to leave it to the state law and let them make the judgment according to the state's laws.

---

Then, Yang Jun instructed Yan Jiecheng to go to the street office to notify relevant personnel.

In less than half an hour, Wang Xuemei arrived with five or six colleagues.

After listening to the accounts of Yang Jun and the second and third masters, Wang Xuemei glanced gloomily at Yi Zhonghai who was squatting nearby, and then listened to the testimony of the deaf old lady, confirming that the two had indeed engaged in unethical relations.

She then signaled to arrest Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang.

Without saying a word, the group of people took out ropes, quickly pinned Yi and Zhang down, and tied them firmly to the ground like tying up pigs.

Yi Zhonghai seemed calmer. He no longer resisted or argued. He just looked at Yang Jun coldly, his eyes full of resentment.

Jia Zhang refused to give in and kept shouting “I am innocent” and struggling hard, but her huge body weighing nearly 200 pounds forced the staff of the street office to divide their forces into four groups to subdue her.

"I did nothing wrong, why did you arrest me?" she roared.

"Qin Huairu, how can you repay kindness with enmity? Why do you want to become related to Lao Yi for no reason?" Her voice was full of sarcasm.

Qin Huairu pretended to cry innocently while holding her child, but upon closer inspection, there were no tears in her eyes. Instead, a faint smile of victory appeared at the corners of her mouth.

Having been a daughter-in-law for many years, she knows all about it. As the saying goes, after many years of being a daughter-in-law, she eventually becomes a mother-in-law.

In this era, newly married daughters-in-law often suffer from difficulties at the hands of their in-laws, and the mother-in-law will try to create trouble to highlight her status.

After finally sending Jia Zhang away, Qin Huairu was thinking about how to educate the children strictly, but she found that Banggeng started stealing again.

She was so angry that she grabbed a wooden stick by the door and gave Banggeng a beating without caring about the consequences, scolding him for his behavior.

"Mom, I really didn't steal, please don't hit me.

"The stick terrier circled the pool, dodging and trying to explain.

"You still say you didn't steal? What was in your arms?" Qin Huairu knew the child's temper very well.

Under the influence of Jia Zhang, Banggeng would often steal a few onions or garlic from others. He was so bold that he even stole the eggs laid by Xu Damao's family.

She knew very well that if this behavior was allowed to continue, Banggeng would definitely make big mistakes in the future.

At this time, Jia Zhang was not around and could no longer indulge him.

"Mom, I really didn't steal it, this is the jar where grandma keeps her money.

"Bang Geng knew that there was no way he could hide what happened today, so he told the whole truth.

"Your grandma's money?" Hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up and she put down the stick.

"Give it to me quickly."

Although extremely reluctant, Banggeng still handed the piggy bank to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu hugged the heavy jar tightly, feeling extremely happy. Without having time to think too much, she opened the lid of the jar directly in the yard.

The white banknotes immediately caught my eye.

She originally wanted to take a closer look, but when she caught a glimpse of a confused figure approaching, Qin Huairu quickly put the lid back on, took the money into the house, locked the door, and ignored the children outside.

Next, she silently counted the numbers, "one, ten, hundred,...", while dipping the money in her hand with her saliva. The more she counted, the more anxious she became, until she confirmed the number.

"The total is one thousand three hundred and eighty-five yuan, sixty-four cents." Qin Huairu's hands trembled slightly as she counted the number several times. The number was correct. It was indeed a huge fortune.
