Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

The cloth contained 200,000 Singapore dollars. He Daqing was not stupid enough to bribe Cheng Hao with just a meal. It cost money to ask someone to do something for you.

Two hundred thousand was not much, but it was just enough for Cheng Hao to enjoy himself in the city for a few days. Helping in need was in his heart. So Cheng Hao returned the favor and entrusted his house to He Daqing.

I don’t know when I will be able to come back after joining the army. If I’m away for too long, it’s easy for something to happen if there’s no one to help look after the house.

Although in the original timeline He Daqing would abandon his two children and run away with the White Widow to defend the city one year later, He Yuzhu is now fighting on the front line and He Yushui has no one to take care of him. He should know the importance of the matter and be able to control himself.

After arranging everything, Cheng Hao, who was well fed and drunk, staggered back home. Just as he was about to go to bed, Yi Zhonghai came to his door.

Facing this villain who was playing dirty tricks behind his back, the sleepy Cheng Hao didn't want to pay much attention to him. But thinking about the beating he almost got during the day, he was so angry that he simply opened the door to welcome him and think of a way to get his debt back.

"Uncle Yi, why...why are you here?"

Drunk and flushed, Cheng Hao glanced at Yi Zhonghai, pretending that he might faint at any moment.

"Hey, Cheng Hao, why are you so drunk?"

Yi Zhonghai looked worried, but he was actually ecstatic. Cheng Hao was unconscious, which was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of him.

"I'm not drunk... not drunk..."

Cheng Hao hung his head, his eyes becoming increasingly confused.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yi Zhonghai stopped talking, looked around and sighed softly.

"Cheng Hao, you are the only one left in the family. I don't know when he will be back after joining the army. There is no one to take care of the house. What should I do?"

"Yes, the house has to be looked after..."

Cheng Hao rubbed his head and cooperated with Yi Zhonghai.

"We have been neighbors for so many years. I have watched you grow up and I am considered your elder.

If you trust Master Yi, how about I help you take care of this house?"

Yi Zhonghai leaned over and advised in the gentlest tone possible.

Life and death are unpredictable on the battlefield. Now Yi Zhonghai is helping Cheng Hao take care of the house, and maybe he can continue to take care of it in the future. If he cleans it up a little from time to time, he will have a chance to take the house. This deal is really a good deal.

Cheng Hao cursed shameless Lao Deng in his heart, but pretended to cooperate.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

"of course it's true."

Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Yi Zhonghai smiled happily. He decided to take advantage of Cheng Hao's unconsciousness to settle the matter first, and then use his status as an elder to deal with it tomorrow, so as not to worry that he would regret it.

After all, Cheng Hao is just a helpless and down-and-out man who doesn't even have a decent job. What can he use to fight against Yi Zhonghai?

"We need witnesses for such a big event."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go out and talk to the neighbors."

Looking at the confused Cheng Hao, Yi Zhonghai smiled even more.

As long as Cheng Hao entrusted the house to the owner in front of the neighbors, he would not be able to deny the matter at all.

Yi Zhonghai smiled happily, and Cheng Hao smiled even happier in his heart. He really thought he was still the honest man who was easy to bully. He would be in trouble with this old man when he got out.

……

Yi Zhonghai helped Cheng Hao into the yard, and then hurriedly called on all the neighbors to come out as witnesses.

"Yi Zhonghai, why are you so crazy and not sleeping at night?"

A short and fat middle-aged woman walked out of the house cursing. When she saw Cheng Hao, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but then quickly dimmed.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I have something important to tell you later, please bear with me."

The woman's name was Zhang Xiaohua. Her husband's surname was Jia, so she was also called Jia Zhang. Her husband died a few years ago, and she raised a son alone. She was extremely rude and fierce, and was a well-known shrew in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai didn't want to get involved with her, so he could only comfort her with kind words.

After Jia Zhang came out, He Daqing also came over. While Yi Zhonghai was comforting Jia Zhang, he and Cheng Hao looked at each other, and then smiled in tacit understanding.

Yi Zhonghai instigated the conflict between the two during the day. This revenge must be avenged together.

Several families in the central courtyard had gathered, and without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to say anything, Cheng Hao spoke first.

“I asked you all to come here tonight because I want to explain something.

Just now, Uncle Yi came to me and... said... that he wanted to provide me with some help.

right? "

Cheng Hao covered his head and pretended to be drunk and had no memory, then looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"Yes."

Yi Zhonghai agreed immediately, and was so proud of himself that he didn't even notice the change in Cheng Hao.

Before Yi Zhonghai could continue speaking, He Daqing interrupted him in time.

"Oh, Lao Yi, I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted and willing to donate money to support Cheng Hao. Let's go together!"

When these words were spoken, not only Yi Zhonghai, but all the neighbors present were stunned.

"Uh, Master Yi, is that so?"

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to refute, Cheng Hao continued to pretend to be drunk and forgetful, and asked sincerely.

"Uncle He, is that so?

I was so drunk that I felt dizzy and I don’t remember a lot of things.”

He Daqing cooperated again and pointed at Cheng Hao's pocket.

"If you don't believe me, check your pocket and see if the two hundred thousand dollars I gave you is still there."

He Daqing undoubtedly had selfish motives in revealing the matter in public, but Cheng Hao didn't mind.

A favor is a favor, there is nothing to argue about. Besides, it is all worth it if it can make Yi Zhonghai bleed.

Cheng Hao felt in his pocket, took out the cloth bag and opened it in public. Inside was neatly packed with 200,000 new dollars, which attracted the amazement of the neighbors watching. He Daqing not only sent his son to the battlefield, but also funded others to fight the enemy. He was really noble.

“Hey, I remember.

Thank you for your help, Mr. He. By the way, I would also like to ask you to help look after the house. I am really sorry for the trouble. "

Cheng Hao pretended to be enlightened and blocked Yi Zhonghai's way with just a few simple words.

Someone is already helping to take care of the Cheng family’s house, so Yi Zhonghai should forget about it.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He understood very well that he had been tricked.

Cheng Hao was not drunk at all, he just pretended to be unconscious to lure others into a trap.

It’s ridiculous that Yi Zhonghai thought his plan was successful, and he happily called out all the neighbors so that everyone could see the joke.

"Old Yi, we've called everyone out, what are you waiting for?

Just tell us how much you want to donate. Don’t be afraid. It’s all out of our heart, and no one will laugh at you if it’s less.”

Before Yi Zhonghai could come up with a plan to break the impasse, He Daqing's words drew the neighbors' attention to him.

"no……"

Feeling the fiery gazes of his neighbors, Yi Zhonghai groaned in his heart, but he had to maintain composure on the surface. He was trapped inside and outside, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

If you have mobilized so many people and the amount of funding you provide is not as much as He Daqing, you will definitely be ridiculed and embarrassed.

Yi Zhonghai is bound to bleed heavily this time.

"Not what?

You went to Cheng Hao's house late at night and called us out. What on earth do you want to do?

Are you trying to take over someone else's property?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that at the critical moment, the old woman Jia Zhang would actually stab him.
