Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Yi Zhonghai had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before, and he secretly complained in his heart. At this moment, most of the residents in the courtyard had heard the noise and rushed over, surrounding the scene. What was worse was that they witnessed him and Qin Huailu walking out of the vegetable cellar together in front of everyone.

If he cannot give a reasonable explanation, then the reputation he has accumulated over the years will probably be ruined! Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai could not help but get angry, staring at Ye Wenwu with wide eyes, and scolded:

"Ye Wenwu, Ye Wenwu, although there are some conflicts between us, you shouldn't slander and frame me like this!"

The people around saw that Yi Zhonghai, a man who was always highly respected, was so angry but did not show any panic after being caught on the spot. They couldn't help but wonder: Is there another hidden story behind this?

Facing Yi Zhonghai's questioning, Ye Wenwu just chuckled disapprovingly.

"Master, the evidence is irrefutable and obvious to all! Even if you say something fantastic, how can it change the established facts? Do you still want to deny it?"

"You little kid, how can you be so cruel and sinister at such a young age? No matter what, I am still your elder. You are so careless and keep saying 'caught a cheating'. Aren't you putting me, Yi Zhonghai, in an irretrievable situation?" Yi Zhonghai cried with tears in his eyes, then turned his head with a sad face to face everyone.

"Everyone gathered here tonight, you must have seen Qin Huairu and I walk out of the vegetable cellar. If you still trust me, Yi Zhonghai, then I must explain this matter clearly to you so that you can set the record straight!"

"It doesn't matter whether my personal reputation is damaged or not, but Qin Huairu is a woman after all, and she needs to consider her own reputation. How can I let her become infamous because of my fault!" After saying this, Yi Zhonghai bowed. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"Look at this old man's sincere words, it seems that he is not lying. Could it be that we have really misunderstood him? Is there another hidden story?"

"From what I saw, the master looked calm and composed, not at all like those adulterers and adulteresses who were caught in the act. Could it be that as he said, there is something fishy going on?"

"Oh, that's not necessarily true. After all, we saw him and Qin Huailu coming out of the vegetable cellar one after the other. Besides, Qin Huairu is so attractive. Who knows if a one-on-one fight will work out."

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the people had his back.

"Since you all trust me, Yi Zhonghai, so much, I must explain this matter clearly to you!" He said solemnly. Everyone knows that Jia Dongxu, the eldest son of the Jia family, is Yi Zhonghai's favorite student and the only backbone of his family. However, there are unexpected events, and a sudden change caused this young and promising man to pass away. Faced with such a tragic situation, how could Yi Zhonghai, as a master, sit idly by?

But then again, there are quite a few poor people in our courtyard. If we send things to the Jia family in broad daylight, it might cause dissatisfaction among others. After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai decided to wait until nightfall and quietly send five pounds of golden cornmeal to solve the urgent needs of the Jia family.

This was a very common thing. Yi Zhonghai just wanted to help his disciple's widow and didn't think much about anything else. So, he and Jia's wife agreed to meet by the vegetable cellar in the middle courtyard. Unexpectedly, for some reason, someone had dirty thoughts and speculated about their relationship...

Having said this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his heart filled with helplessness and grievance.

At this moment, the whole courtyard fell into a dead silence, as if time had frozen. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. Some people might still have a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking that Yi Zhonghai might really be here to deliver cornmeal, but the faces of most men showed a look of understanding.

At this moment, Ye Wenwu suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, which was as loud as a bell, and it hurt the eardrums of the people present. He stroked his forehead with his hand and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Uncle, you are really bad at making up stories! You actually said that cornmeal and corn paste need to be delivered in the vegetable cellar in the middle of the night? I'm afraid only those with simple minds would believe it!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face instantly turned livid, then red and white, like a chameleon. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something in defense, but found himself speechless at the moment, not knowing where to start.

"Humph, this matter couldn't be simpler! The two of them must have done something shameful. If they didn't do anything bad, I, Ye Wenwu, am willing to apologize to them in front of everyone!" Ye Wenwu said righteously, his eyes were firm. Then, he changed the subject and continued to add: "Of course, if you want to find out the truth, you only need to find two reliable people in our compound to check Qin Huairu's body carefully, and everything will naturally come to light."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd burst into laughter. The men laughed so hard that they fell backwards, and some even slapped their thighs, as if they found this farce very funny. The women lowered their heads, looking embarrassed, not daring to look directly at others. The whole scene was in chaos, full of a playful and mocking atmosphere.

Yi Zhonghai watched helplessly as his carefully woven lie was so easily exposed by Ye Wenwu. His face instantly became extremely embarrassed, as if he had been slapped in public. At this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed and embarrassed, completely at a loss, and secretly anxious in his heart.

At this critical moment, the tightly closed door of the Jia family in the middle courtyard suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out like a whirlwind. Looking closely, it turned out to be an old lady with a bloated figure and a pair of fat ears. This person was none other than the head of the Jia family - Jia Zhang, and also the mother-in-law of the heroine of today's incident, Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang's eyes were wide open and she cursed, "Okay! You heartless bastard, you actually dared to seduce my daughter-in-law! I'll teach you a lesson today!" Before she finished her words, she pounced on Yi Zhonghai with her fangs and claws bared like a ferocious beast.

However, Yi Zhonghai was experienced and quick to react. Just when Jia Zhang was about to pounce on him, he dodged and nimbly moved half a step to the left. This clever move made Jia Zhang miss, and Qin Huairu, who had been hiding behind Yi Zhonghai, was exposed.

Qin Huairu had never expected that things would develop to this point, and she had never expected her mother-in-law to rush over in an instant. She was already inconvenient to move because she was pregnant, and now faced with the sudden change, she was completely powerless to resist. Before she could react, she was pressed to the ground by the aggressive mother-in-law.
