The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

Chapter 18: Ending and Zhang Hua with some gossips

Yi Zhonghai quickly calculated in his mind that his monthly salary was 1680 yuan, which was 2480 million yuan in two years. Each house was about yuan, million yuan each, a total of million yuan. He felt that ten times the compensation was a bit too much. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, he heard He Ping'an's cold voice.

"Yi Zhonghai, you have to remember that the reason you still have the chance to pay compensation this time is purely because my eldest brother is soft-hearted. In my opinion, I will send you to the police station after you finish this last meal. You can calculate how many times 2.4 million yuan is enough to shoot you."

The reason why He Ping'an said these words was not because he was worried that Yi Zhonghai would disagree, but just to take the opportunity to tell everyone in front of him, so that people outside would not think that the He family was blackmailing people. Although money and houses are important, compared with life, Yi Zhonghai made a profit today.

Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement, "But I can give you the house, but you have to give me some time to find a place to live before moving."

"Do we still need to wait? I think the deaf old lady's house in the backyard is quite good. Her two rooms are spacious enough for the three of you to live in. And I heard that you have recognized the deaf old lady as your godmother, which will make it convenient for you to take care of her." Secretary Zhang spoke again.

Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart when he heard Zhang Hua's words: I came to you to help, it would be fine if you didn't help, but now you are taking advantage of your misfortune. However, he knew that he couldn't refuse. If he refused, he would not only offend Deputy Director Yang and Zhang Hua, but also the old lady would be dissatisfied. Thinking about his current situation, he turned to look at the deaf old lady, "Godmother, what do you think?"

"Okay, let's do this! My two rooms are a bit empty, old lady. It will be more lively if you move in." The deaf old lady knew that Yi Zhonghai still had thoughts about the house and wanted to delay it, but she knew that Yi Zhonghai had no confidence to object given the current situation.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person. The deaf old lady originally wanted to use two department-level senior officials to put pressure on He Ping'an and make him compromise. But who would have thought that He Ping'an was like a fool and didn't give her any chance at all. Some things can only be said in private and cannot be said in public, but He Ping'an used a party to destroy his own support. Although he had some unpleasantness with Deputy Director Yang, it was just a few quarrels, which was better than having a falling out with Deputy Director Yang in private.

Deputy Director Yang saw that the matter was resolved and did not intend to stay any longer. He said to the deaf old lady

"Since the matter has been resolved, I'll leave first. You take care of yourself in the future." After saying that, he glanced at Zhang Hua who was still eating and drinking, and found that he had no intention of leaving, so he ignored him and prepared to leave.

"Deputy Director Yang, I have a different opinion on what you just said. I think suffering is never worth praising. What is worth praising is the spirit of optimism, hard work and progress in the face of suffering. Poverty is not glorious, but shared poverty is glorious; wealth is not shameful, but one person's wealth is shameful; I think shared prosperity is more glorious when we are in shared poverty, and it is our responsibility and mission as Communists. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Yang looked at He Ping'an with a complicated expression, and left without saying a word.

"Team Leader Yang, I'll see you off!" Liu Haizhong recognized the man in front of him as the team leader of their factory when Deputy Director Yang first arrived. He wanted to get close to him to see if he could become an official, but he ignored him and went straight into the deaf old lady's house. He wanted to say a few words to help him, but was scared by He Pingan and didn't dare. Now seeing that he was about to leave, he hurriedly said something flattering.

"Team Leader Yang, be careful with the steps."

Hearing the flattering voice coming from Liu Hai in the distance, everyone smiled and didn't care.

Then the people from the post office also said goodbye. Director Wang watched them leave one after another. He also prepared to leave because he couldn't talk about his own business on the stage.

"Deputy Director He, since everyone has left, I'm leaving too!"

"Director Wang, please finish your meal before leaving!" He Ping'an said politely.

"No, I have something else to do. Deputy Director He, I am going to come over tonight to hold a meeting for the people in the courtyard regarding Yi Zhonghai. What do you think?" Director Wang knew what He Ping'an was thinking when he saw the people in other courtyards. Although he was not happy, he had to cooperate. After saying that, without waiting for He Ping'an to speak, he said to the people in the courtyard.

"Yi Zhonghai's incident can be said to be appalling. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in such an outstanding courtyard. First of all, I have to review it. It was our street office's negligence that failed to discover Yi Zhonghai's true face. But what about you, as a courtyard, you didn't notice it. You watched He Yuzhu and his sister have difficulties in life and didn't help. Don't you know how this outstanding courtyard came about? I will come over in the evening, and everyone in the courtyard must be present." After saying this, he ignored the excuses of the people in the courtyard, said hello to He Ping'an, and turned to leave.

"Let's go! Zhonghai, I'm tired, help me go back and rest." The deaf old lady knew that if she stayed any longer, Yi Zhonghai would have to bear the anger brought to everyone by He Ping'an and Director Wang, so she also got up and left.

Everyone in the courtyard was already unhappy because of what He Ping'an had said just now, and they were even more dissatisfied when they didn't expect Director Wang to hold a meeting with them. Of course, they didn't think they were wrong, and they didn't even care whether Yi Zhonghai was right or wrong. They just felt that He Ping'an could have talked about it in private, and shouldn't have retaliated in a high-profile manner and embarrassed everyone. They hated Yi Zhonghai even more for implicating themselves and making them get scolded as well.

If they were not afraid of those leaders, they would have spoken up long ago. Now that the leaders have left, everyone has become active. Of course, they will not say anything bad about the He family. After all, He Ping'an has become the deputy director. Although his specific job is not clear, they know that He Ping'an has become a leader. So they can only vent their dissatisfaction and anger on Yi Zhonghai. Who told him to be easy to bully?

But the deaf old lady took the man away directly. Everyone watched Yi Zhonghai leave and did not dare to stop him. Suddenly they realized that Yi Zhonghai was not easy to bully. Who knew if the deaf old lady knew other leaders? Without someone to vent their anger on, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Everyone, don't forget, although Yi Zhonghai has left, there are still people who have not been punished? Is it Jia Zhang? You have taken advantage of the He family a lot, right?" Xu Fugui suddenly stood up and said

Jia Zhang's mood today can be said to be full of twists and turns. First, she saw two leaders who worked on cars entering the deaf old lady's house. Then she thought that although He Ping'an was also a leader, he did not have a car, and was definitely not as high-ranking as those two people, so she felt that the Jia family was safe.

Later, she saw a group of people coming out of the He family with ugly faces. She knew that the task was not accomplished and started to worry again. Finally, when the banquet started, He Ping'an revealed Yi Zhonghai's affairs and she was shocked. She knew that Yi Zhonghai was a thief and a whore, and he was full of evil intentions, but she didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing.

At this time, she knew that the Jia family was finished, and Yi Zhonghai would definitely not care about her. As expected, as the leader left, Yi Zhonghai followed the deaf old lady back to the backyard. But then he saw that He Ping'an did not cause trouble for him, and he was happy that he looked down on this little shrimp of his family and was too lazy to care about it. He was just happy when he suddenly heard Xu Fugui's words and started to scold him.

"Xu Fugui, you are talking nonsense. You are a jerk in the Eight Great Alleys. You are full of evil. You gave birth to a son who is also evil. You and your son took advantage of the absence of the master of the Zhuzi family to bully others every day. Do you think that everyone is blind and can't see it?"

When Xu Fugui's wife heard Jia Zhang cursing in the street, she was about to stand up and curse back, but Xu Fugui

"My father and I in the Xu family did something wrong, so we should honestly apologize. Don't forget that the money from Brother Ping An's dinner is my fine."

"Yes! The Xu family compensated them."

"Jia Zhang, stop talking nonsense."

"I think we should arrest Jia Jia and let him bully others with Yi Zhonghai all day long."

"Yes, she also cursed Ping An to die early?"

Everyone in the courtyard finally found a vent and started to speak up.

Qin Huairu knew something was wrong when she saw Yi Zhonghai leave. Although she had been here for a short time, she knew the nature of the people in the courtyard. They would never let her family go. As expected, as Xu Fugui spoke, others also began to add insult to injury. She knew that if she wanted to solve this matter, she had to start with He Yuzhu. She quickly stood up and said in a crying voice:

"My family didn't take advantage of Zhuzi. It's just that our two families have a good relationship, and Zhuzi is kind-hearted and helps us out of pity for my family. Right? Zhuzi!" He looked like an innocent person, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

He Yuzhu was somewhat at a loss as to what to do. Seeing his son's expression, He Daqing was the first to quit.

"If you want a man, go find one somewhere else, don't come to my house. Don't you look at yourself? You're pregnant."

"Uncle He..." Qin Huairu was about to speak

"Don't call me uncle. I don't have any relatives with the surname Jia." He Daqing directly refused without waiting for Qin Huairu to get close to him.

"Jia Dongxu, don't play dead. What are you doing letting your own mother and wife take the lead?" He Daqing didn't want to get entangled and went straight to Jia Dongxu

"I..." Jia Dongxu trusted his master so much that he was not prepared at all. Now he could only stammer.

"Jia Dongxu, you should be able to read! Check if there is any discrepancy between what is written on this paper and if not, just sign it." He Ping'an didn't want to waste time on the Jia family at this time, so he took out the confession he had prepared and looked at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to walk up to He Ping'an, pick up the confession and start reading it.

"This?" Jia Dongxu didn't know what to say. Everything was true, including the rumor that his mother spread that He Ping'an was dead. But if this was confirmed, his mother would probably eat peanuts. After all, he didn't have a deaf old lady to help him.

"You don't understand, or don't want to admit it? Do you want me to read it to everyone?" He Ping'an looked at Jia Dongxu for a long time without replying, and he was a little impatient.

"No, I don't know what Uncle He's rules are?" Jia Dongxu asked

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but we even released Yi Zhonghai, let alone you." He Pingan said unhappily

"Yes, Uncle He is generous, we will sign it now." After saying that, he walked towards Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. The three of them hid aside to discuss for a while, and then signed in front of He Pingan and everyone else, of course Jia Zhang pressed his fingerprints. The three of them were too embarrassed to eat and went home directly.

Everyone in the courtyard watched as everyone left and stopped talking. They were just curious about what was written on the paper.

"What the Jia family signed just now was a confession. The Jia family admitted what they had done to the He family in the past. However, since it is not easy for them, we do not intend to pursue the matter. So we asked them to sign a confession, and we will never let them off if they commit the same offense again in the future." He Ping'an explained to everyone, and then looked at He Daqing.

"Okay, it's all over! Let's start the feast, the food is getting cold!" He Daqing said with understanding. Then everyone started toasting each other, making the place very lively.

As everyone started to eat, the four members of the He family also prepared to sit down to eat. Because He Ping'an's table was left out after Deputy Director Yang and the Yi family left, Secretary Zhang stood out. After all, he was the only one left besides the four members of the He family.

Zhang Hua saw the four people from the He family staring at him, and felt a little embarrassed that he was the only one left at the table, but he didn't move.

"Just eat, don't take care of me."

"Secretary Zhang has a good heart and will achieve great things in the future." He Ping'an was usually easy to talk to, especially since he had just helped him. Noticing Zhang Hua's embarrassment, he deliberately joked with him.

"That's right. The main reason is that I bought those two bottles of Fenjiu with my own money. I have to eat them back." Zhang Hua said with a smile

"Then you have to eat more, otherwise you will definitely not get your money back. Zhuzi, go open the wine that Secretary Zhang just brought, and we'll drink it." He Ping'an instructed He Yuzhu beside him.

"No, that's very rude." Zhang Huagang hurriedly stopped him.

"There are not so many rules. I'm not an old stubborn man in his seventies or eighties," He Ping'an gestured to He Yuzhu to open the wine.

"Brother, Secretary Zhang, I'll take Zhuzi to meet my fellow apprentices. You guys drink!" He Daqing thought Secretary Zhang was busy, so he took He Yuzhu away on the pretext of something. Only He Ping'an and Zhang Hua were left at the table, as well as He Yushui, who was drooling at the table full of food.

"Since you call me Brother Ping'an, how about I take advantage of you and call you Brother Sheng Zhang?" He Ping'an smiled and looked at Zhang Hua.

"It's my honor. Besides, I'm taking advantage of you," Zhang Hua responded with a smile.

"Thank you, brother Zhang, for speaking up for justice today." He Pingan toasted Zhang Hua.

"Hey, I just don't like them. You can get things done without me." Zhang Hua was polite, but he drank the wine in the glass.

"You don't know, but our director is also very annoying. The son and grandson of the deaf old lady have indeed made contributions and are worthy of the country. They have also helped us a lot, but they are all members of the Kuomintang. It was okay before, but now haha" Zhang Hua explained after drinking.

"This deaf old lady hid it very well. We lived here for so many years and didn't even know about it." He Ping'an was a little surprised.

"I heard that she is a concubine and the first wife has no children, so..." Zhang Hua said with some gossip

"Yes, I understand. What about his son and grandson?"

"They all died on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. As for helping us, it is said that her son spared a Red Army unit that was dispersed during the Long March and gave that unit a batch of supplies. Her grandson used to be a member of the Military Control Commission and helped our underground party when they were hiding in Beijing during the Anti-Japanese War." Zhang Hua replied

"What a pity! So the deaf old lady really did send shoes to the Red Army." He Ping'an felt a little emotional after hearing this, but suddenly laughed when he thought of the rumors about the deaf old lady.

"What shoes?" Zhang Hua was a little confused.

"Yi Zhonghai often said that the deaf old lady had given straw sandals to the Red Army." He repeated the rumor about the deaf old lady.

"Nonsense, and people believe it?" Zhang Hua said disdainfully.

"Didn't his son send it to you?" He Pingan said with a smile

Zhang Hua thought about it and started laughing too.

"Today really opened my eyes! I didn't expect that the people in your courtyard are so unique." Zhang Hua said with some emotion

"I finally understand why you know the deaf old lady better than I do." He Ping'an originally thought that Zhang Hua had deliberately killed the deaf old lady because of what happened today, but seeing him like that, he felt that he might have guessed wrong.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hua was puzzled.

"It would have been better if your eyes hadn't been so eager for knowledge when you were expressing your feelings just now," He Pingan said leisurely.

"I'm just curious, purely curious." Zhang Hua was not embarrassed.

He Ping'an looked at Zhang Hua who was gossiping but did not expose him. He told Zhang Hua about the people in the courtyard. Zhang Hua also told him some interesting things he had heard. The two of them listened to each other's gossip and started drinking without eating.

Zhang Hua could really drink, but he met He Pingan, who was not a good drinker, so he poured the wine directly into the space. Both of them were young people, and there was no etiquette at the table. In a short while, they drank six kilograms of liquor. Zhang Hua was getting more and more confused as he drank. He Pingan, who didn't seem drunk at all and was in the mood to pick up food for He Yushui, was surprised and said

"I thought I was a good drinker and the elders in my family asked me to drink with them, but I didn't expect that Brother Ping An could drink even more. With your drinking capacity, you can accomplish things."

"Hey! Wouldn't that make me a good-for-nothing?" He Pingan said modestly.

"No, you may not know since you just came back. Now that big brother the Soviet Union is supporting us vigorously, we must do our best to play the role of host. Everything else is easy to deal with, except that they can drink too much. Every time we have to drink with them, it is miserable. Even so, they are still not having a good time. In the end, they usually drink by themselves." Zhang Hua explained with a big tongue.

"If I get the chance, I'll drink with them and make them knock down." He Ping'an promised, patting his chest.

The party was quite successful. After He Daqing and He Ping'an sent off the last guests, the family returned home and looked at each other and laughed. Everyone in the courtyard had different thoughts when they heard the laughter coming from the He family. Most of them were indignant and jealous. Few were happy for the He family.
