Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Gao Tianyou naturally didn't hesitate and said, "We are here to find Yi Zhonghai, the manager of your courtyard. Is he here? If so, please call him out." Liu Haizhong nodded and bowed, ran to the backyard, and knocked on the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Old Yi, Old Yi, why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Open the door quickly, someone is looking for you outside!" Liu Haizhong yelled while knocking on the door. Yi Zhonghai, who was waiting to eat meat in the house, frowned. The couple had finally managed to get a pound of meat tonight to improve their meals. In order to avoid the jealousy of the neighbors in the yard, they planned to close the door, cook it with plain water and eat it with vinegar.

"Old Yi, what should we do?" Bai Xiuying came out of the kitchen and looked at her husband anxiously. They seldom eat meat these days, and they really can't afford it tonight, so the couple secretly bought some meat and planned to improve their lives.

Yi Zhonghai glared at his flustered wife and said with a dark face, "Go to the kitchen first and cover the pot to prevent the aroma of the meat from wafting out." Bai Xiuying nodded quickly, and Yi Zhonghai tidied up his messy clothes. He coughed and said, "Oh, I'm here, I'm here, what can I do for you, Lao Liu?"

Yi Zhonghai opened the door of his house and looked at Liu Haizhong who was smiling outside. Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Oh, Lao Yi, someone is looking for you outside, in the middle courtyard." Liu Haizhong's nose moved and he smiled and said, "Oh, you two are cooking meat at home? Why does it smell so good?"

The pork of this era can be said to be very fragrant. They are not raised with feed, but real original ecological pigs. Without the influence of hormones in later generations, the meat is very fragrant and glutinous. Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face, "Hey, there is no meat. You must be hallucinating because you want to eat meat too much."

Yi Zhonghai closed the door of his house in a panic. Liu Haizhong pursed his lips and felt unhappy. He felt that Yi Zhonghai looked down on him. How could he shamelessly go to their house to eat and drink for free? Yi Zhonghai said, "Come on, Lao Liu, didn't you say someone was looking for me outside? Let's go over and take a look."

Liu Haizhong then remembered why he came to see Yi Zhonghai, and he followed Yi Zhonghai with a smile, and the two of them were going to the middle courtyard together. As they walked, he said, "Hey, Lao Yi, what on earth did you do? Why did the police come to see you?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped moving forward, his old face full of surprise, and said, "Who are you talking about? The police!" Liu Haizhong yawned and said with a smile, "Yes, there are two police officers outside, and it seems that they came back with He Yuzhu and his wife!"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened even more, and he said to Liu Haizhong in surprise, "What did you say? Shazhu, Shazhu called the police?" Liu Haizhong didn't know what Yi Zhonghai was doing, so he nodded and said naturally, "Yes, there are two police officers."

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and two words popped out directly: It's over. He, Yi Zhonghai, is really finished. He wanted to rush home and ask his wife to help invite Old Lady Long out. Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai trying to go back, and held Yi Zhonghai's shoulder and said, "Hey, Old Yi, hurry up and leave, don't let the police wait anxiously."

Yi Zhonghai's only thought now was to tell the old lady that what his wife said was not without reason. It was likely that the matter had been exposed, and the alimony sent by He Daqing had already been known by the couple. It was over, it was over.

Yi Zhonghai is only in his forties this year. He is still in the prime of his life. Yi Zhonghai still wants to enjoy his old age. How can he be arrested and taken to the police station? At this moment, He Yuzhu and his wife, who lived in the backyard corridor, also walked in, followed by Gao Tianyou and another policeman.

Yi Zhonghai slumped down on the ground when he saw Duan Haibin behind him, not knowing what to say. Gao Tianyou and his colleagues looked at each other, and they all knew that this matter was almost certain. Gao Tianyou coughed and said to Yi Zhonghai, "You must be Yi Zhonghai, right? I need your cooperation on something. He Yuzhu reported to the police that his father ran away from home ten years ago, and he sent a letter to them every month, as well as 10 yuan."

"But according to our investigation, He Yuzhu never received the letter at all, and you were the one who actually received the letter. Do you admit this or not?"

Yi Zhonghai was now extremely flustered and at a loss for a moment, not knowing what to do. Gao Tianyou showed an angry look on his face and said, "Speak? Do you admit it or not?" The neighbors in the courtyard also went to the backyard to watch the excitement.

After learning the whole story, the neighbors in the courtyard shook their heads. They didn't expect that this was the real face of Yi Zhonghai, but there were also a small group of people who felt that Yi Zhonghai must have had his own difficulties, and this small group of people were deceived by Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical face.

Yi Zhonghai knew that there was no way out if he didn't admit it now. He thought for a while and said, "Yes, I admit that I received the money and letters sent by He Daqing, but I also had my own difficulties! After He Daqing passed away, He Yuzhu and his sister were very resentful of their father!"

"The hatred between them is very deep. Even if I gave the money to He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu would not be happy. I planned to save the money and leave it to He Yuzhu to marry a wife in the future. But He Yuzhu is a very capable person and he married a daughter-in-law for himself. I thought of saving the money for Yushui as a dowry, so that Yushui can marry in glory in the future, right?"

He Yuzhu's face darkened. He really didn't expect that this old man would still refuse to admit it even after all this! He was indeed a famous hypocrite in the original novel. He Yuzhu was very impressed by his ability to shirk responsibility.

He Yuzhu snorted again and said, "Then let me ask you, why didn't you tell me that my father borrowed money, and where is the letter my father sent back? Why didn't I, as his son, see it?"
