Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

At this time, she was holding a bowl, which contained the wild boar meat that Master Yi had sold her the day before. After Aunt Liu's cooking, the wild meat had been made into sausages, which smelled delicious and tempting.

Looking at the delicious food in Aunt Liu's hand, Yan Fugui's mouth was full of greed. He asked with interest: "Brother Fu, you are right. The world is fickle nowadays. I never thought that Master Yi and Jia Dongxu would have such a side. I just attended the commendation meeting of the whole factory... Guess what happened at the commendation meeting..."

As she spoke, Aunt Liu became more and more excited, and she described the scene at the commendation meeting in detail and vividly to everyone in the yard.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"Yixin was originally going to be praised, but now he is accused by Jia Dongxu as a spy. Isn't this courting death?"

"It's really unexpected that Yi Xin, who looks ordinary, actually has great kung fu skills and is helping the police catch enemy spies. Such an outstanding young man is the pride of our alley."

"Hey, what will happen to Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai next because of Li Tielong's enemy spy incident?"

Everyone was talking about it.

Their words, to the ears of others, seemed to carry a hint of gloating. However, these people were not really sad about the suffering of others, but inexplicably felt a little happy.

At this time, Xu Fugui approached Yan Fugui and the others in the crowd and started gossiping.

They suddenly saw Yi Zhonghai stepping into the yard with a gloomy face. His eyes swept over them, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Hearing their names, Yan Fugui and the others were startled, and then they all turned their heads, feeling extremely uncomfortable. Yi Zhonghai was standing there quietly, his face cold.

"I haven't broken any law, why should I leave home?" He swept his sharp eyes around him. He knew in his heart that there was no need to explain to these people, so he just sneered.

What about Jia Dongxu?

Yi Zhonghai said, "I really didn't know about Jia Dongxu's affairs. I was taken to the police at first to cooperate with the investigation, and only then did I know that Dongxu had become a tool of the enemy's spies. I never thought that Dongxu would be deceived by the traitors and wrongly accuse Yi Xin. This is all my fault. I didn't control him properly."

When he said this, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, looking extremely distressed, which made Yan Fugui and the others feel inexplicably guilty.

After all, they were just belittling Yi Zhonghai behind his back. "Old Yi, Dongxu's case is serious. Will he be shot?" "Yan Fugui, why are you so outspoken? If you say something like my Dongxu will be shot again, I will tear your mouth apart." After receiving the order from the deaf old lady, Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Ma Xiaomei prepared to wait at the front door to welcome Yi Xin's arrival, hoping to seek reconciliation from Tang Wan and Yi Xin later. At this time, Yan Fugui's voice was heard in the yard saying bad things about Jia Dongxu, which made Jia Zhang extremely angry and immediately criticized him.

Facing Jia Zhang's scolding, Yan Fugui looked very embarrassed. His face was livid. He explained: "Aunt Zhang, I didn't say anything nonsense. I just don't know the details. If you have any questions, just ask the master directly." He was smart and knew that continuing to argue would only result in a lose-lose situation or even worse, so he decided to take the matter to Yi Zhonghai. As a result, this trick really worked, and others soon noticed Yi Zhonghai who had just returned.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming back alone, Jia Zhang was surprised and asked in confusion: "Master Yi, where is Dongxu? Isn't he..." Hearing that Yi Zhonghai was safe and sound, Ma Xiaomei was secretly happy and hurried forward to ask about Yi Zhonghai's experience. However, there were many people at the scene, so he asked everyone to go home and continue the conversation.

After returning home, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy. Jia Zhang directly asked Yi Zhonghai: "What happened to Dongxu? Why did he come out? Isn't he with him?" Faced with Jia Zhang's aggressive attitude, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, his face gloomy, and angrily counterattacked: "Jia Zhang, you still have the nerve to mention that relative named Li Tielong. It was his behavior that killed Dongxu!"

He described the whole incident in detail and frankly said that he was not aware of the incident. "If I had known that he would do something stupid, I would have stopped him. By the time I figured it out, it was too late. Who could have expected that he would be used to such an extent? Li Tielong really deserved it."

Hearing all this, Jia Zhang was shocked and felt unbelievable. She asked with a trembling voice: "Master Yi, how will the police deal with Dongxu's case?" Yi Zhonghai replied: "He has admitted the facts, and it is impossible to execute him. According to the current situation, it is likely that he will be imprisoned and then sent to labor reform."

This was a bolt from the blue for Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu kept crying and said, "Oh, Dongxu must not go to labor reform. What will happen to our family if he goes in? The baby is due in two months. What about the future..." Jia Zhang was also very worried. Her laziness and dependence now faced a huge test: how to adapt to life without a breadwinner? If Dongxu went to jail and lost his job... she dared not imagine the consequences.

"What else can we do? Jia Dongxu was lucky to be alive after doing that kind of thing. What else do you want? Even if he doesn't go to jail, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be fired by the steel mill. What other result do you want?" Yi Zhonghai felt helpless.

His gaze turned to Qin Huairu. To be honest, Yi Zhonghai stared at the sobbing woman in front of him carefully, and the long-hidden emotions in his heart seemed to be burning quietly.

There is no hope for Tang Wan, but if Jia Dongxu is really sentenced, then what about his future... Yi Zhonghai changed his mind and sneered in his heart.

He hypocritically comforted Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu for a few words, and then Ma Xiaomei told Yi Zhonghai about the old lady's suggestion. He nodded in agreement and said, "The old lady's plan is really good. I think it is also a feasible method."

Yi Zhonghai also told them to keep a low profile about the incident, and then took Ma Xiaomei to the backyard to meet the deaf old woman.

As for all this, Yi Xin was completely unaware of it, and he was even less aware of the fact that Yi Zhonghai, the old fox, escaped from the police station investigation not long after. But at least there was no solid evidence to accuse him of any behavior at this moment, and if Yi Zhonghai was safe and sound, he could understand.

Elsewhere, Hu's eldest sister-in-law Tang Wan solved a set of college entrance examination questions.

Tang Wan entered the room to answer questions about ten minutes later.

The door opened and Tang Wan came out holding the test paper.

“It’s done so quickly?”

Yi Xin was slightly surprised to see Tang Wan answer so quickly.

Incredible, it took no more than ten minutes.

Uncle Hu was also surprised to see that the test was completed so quickly.

"Boss, I have really finished some of the questions in this set, but your questions are still a little bit easier." Tang Wan responded with a smile.

Originally, he had not expected Tang Wan to answer so quickly. Boss Hu smiled and said:

"I didn't expect you to be able to finish answering so quickly. I thought you might need some practice in this area, but to my surprise, your foundation is so solid."

After hearing this, Yi Xin understood immediately.

I couldn't help but feel touched.

He knew that, in fact, Tang Wan could have taken the college entrance examination and continued her studies, but she lost the opportunity because she chose to take care of herself.

So he said to Boss Hu: "Old Hu, Wan'er should be fine, right? Can she go to college now?"

Hearing this, Boss Hu nodded with a smile:

"Tang Wan has a strong learning ability. If she can't even pass the Peking University level, there must be something wrong. This time I personally evaluated her. Since I didn't find any problems, the next thing will be relatively simple."

"Come to my house tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, and we'll go see the principal together. If you pass his evaluation, your admission will be finalized."

Upon hearing the good news, Tang Wan was very happy and quickly agreed.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Hu. We are going to leave and go home. We will not disturb you for your meal."

Now that the time was almost up, Yi Xin and Tang Wan both felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

Mr. Hu said somewhat unhappily, "What's the matter? You are Brother Chongyi's son Yi Xin, so you are my junior in terms of seniority. If you don't mind, just call me Mr. Hu from now on. Your master and I are actually good friends." He added, "I will do my best to complete what he has asked me to do no matter what."

After hearing this, Yi Xin felt both amused and embarrassed. He thought he would encounter some difficult things with Mr. Hu.

Aunt Du also tried to persuade them to stay, suggesting that Yi Xin and Tang Wan have dinner together. Faced with the enthusiastic invitation of the old lady and Aunt Du, the two finally couldn't resist and decided to stay for dinner.

Of course, Tang Wan was the chef for this meal, and her cooking skills were praised by Aunt Du, Mr. Hu, and the old lady.

After the meal, Tang Wan and Aunt Du went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving Yi Xin to drink tea in Hu Lao's study. "My father mentioned you recently. I learned that you are Wang Lao's favorite. You have performed very well recently. You arrested enemy spies and were promoted to the purchasing section chief of the steel mill. You are really young and promising." Hu Lao praised while drinking tea.

Hearing this, Aunt Du, who was washing dishes nearby, looked at Tang Wan and smiled, "No wonder you have made such progress. It's a blessing to have such a good wife." Noticing the intimacy between the two, she reminded, "Although we all know your family's situation, you have indeed worked hard over the years. Now that society has changed, since you love each other, you must dare to pursue happiness. When you get married, don't forget to invite me to the wedding banquet."

Tang Wan was shy but grateful in her heart and quickly agreed.

In the study, Yi Xin was enjoying tea with Hu **. Yi Xin smiled and said, "In fact, Master hasn't changed much recently. He just enjoys good food, good wine, and good sleep. He doesn't have any other worries."

After hearing this, Mr. Hu laughed heartily and pointed out: "You are directly talking about his biggest change. He used to have trouble sleeping. I used to have time to see him often, but in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, I was busy with scientific research and didn't have time."
