Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu left the middle courtyard and went to the backyard.

"Bang bang..."

"Open the door, old lady, it's me!"

"Squeak!"

The deaf old lady opened the door and said excitedly, "Zhu Zi, thank you for still caring about me."

He Yuzhu sighed and said, "The reason why I am willing to take care of your food and daily life is because you have helped me before. I don't care about your other things."

The deaf old lady spoke incoherently: "Zhu Zi, you are really a good child who knows how to repay kindness. I was also bewitched at the beginning, so I was bewitched by Yi Zhonghai..."

He Yuzhu interrupted, "Old lady, you don't need to explain. I already know the cause and effect of the matter. I understand you."

Although He Yuzhu said this, he secretly complained in his heart:

"You are an old woman, you are so cunning, how could you be bewitched by Yi Zhonghai? You two are clearly in cahoots with each other, snakes and rats in the same nest."

The deaf old lady asked worriedly, "Zhu Zi, will the police station come to cause trouble for me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry! You are so old now, and it's just a small crime. The police station should pardon you."

The deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "Zhu Zi, I feel relieved when you say that."

"Zhu Zi, do you think Yi Zhonghai will be sentenced?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I guess he will be sentenced. After all, he hasn't been released yet."

The deaf old lady said with venom in her eyes: "The bastard Yi Zhonghai should be locked up until he dies. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be ruined and hated by everyone in the hospital."

He Yuzhu was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect the deaf old lady to say that.

He was not feeling sorry for Yi Zhonghai, but was very disappointed with the deaf old lady. Even if it was Yi Zhonghai's idea to pretend to be a martyr's family member, would Yi Zhonghai dare to do it without your approval?

You enjoyed the benefits of a successful plan, but now that things have been exposed, you are pushing all the responsibility onto the other party. This is not how you behave.

As expected, there are no good people in the courtyard. What is he expecting?

He Yuzhu restrained his emotions and said calmly: "Old lady, it's getting late. I'm going to make dinner first."

The deaf old lady said, "Zhu Zi, wait a minute, can you think of a way to save my reputation?"

He Yuzhu's mouth twitched when he heard this. Isn't this a typical case of wanting everything?

"I'm sorry, old lady, there's nothing I can do about this."

He Yuzhu said this in a stiff tone, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The deaf old lady frowned slightly. She clearly felt the dissatisfaction in He Yuzhu's tone. She felt a little puzzled. Why would Sha Zhu be dissatisfied with him?

The deaf old lady was panicking. Now only Sha Zhu was willing to pay attention to her. If Sha Zhu ignored her, she would probably starve to death. She asked anxiously:

"Zhu Zi, are you starting to hate me like everyone else?"

He Yuzhu smiled falsely and said, "No, I said I would provide for your retirement, and I will definitely provide for your retirement, but you asked me to find a way to restore your reputation, which I really can't do."

Hearing this, the deaf old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a friendly manner:

"It doesn't matter. I'm already a man as old as dirt. Why would I care about my reputation?"

"Besides, my legs and feet are not very flexible, and my hearing is not very good. I usually don't leave the backyard. No matter how they gossip, I don't care. Anyway, I can't hear them. Even if I hear them, I will pretend not to hear them."

"It's you, the old woman who pretended to be deaf and dumb."

He Yuzhu sighed in his heart and continued, "Old lady, it's best if you think this way. I will ask someone to reinstall the window glass for you tomorrow."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, thank you!"

"Wait, it was Xu Damao who broke the glass, so he should be asked to pay for it. Don't worry about it for now. I will go to Xu Damao to settle the matter. Even if it costs me my life, I will make him pay for it."

He Yuzhu's eye muscles twitched as he tried to persuade her, "Old lady, let's just let it go! After all, you've smashed his glass many times before."

The deaf old lady was silent for a moment, then pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Listen to the advice, eat your fill, and let Xu Damao go this time."

He Yuzhu turned and went into the kitchen. He didn't want to listen to the shameless old woman's gossip anymore.

……

the next day.

Yi Zhonghai was interrogated by the police for a day and a night, but he finally couldn't stand it and confessed all the facts.

The relevant departments immediately made a judgment that Yi Zhonghai was guilty of instigating others to impersonate the family of a martyr, but considering that the deaf old lady did not impersonate the family of a martyr to carry out fraudulent activities, he was given a lighter punishment.

Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to three months in prison, while the deaf old lady was exempted from criminal punishment due to her advanced age and was instead sentenced to receive ideological education at the street office for three months.

The verdict was quickly delivered to Li Guifang and the deaf old lady, and the steel mill naturally also received the news.

He Yuzhu came to the office and drank tea and read the newspaper as usual.

Today's newspaper still has the news that interests him, it's still the "xx Daily", and it's still Jiang Yueyao's article.

Article title: "The Guard Dog of the Siheyuan Courtyard".

The article is interesting and humorous, and it introduces in detail what Yan Bugui did. Even people like He Yuzhu who knew the details laughed when reading it.

Compared to He Yuzhu's joy, Xu Damao's face was filled with horror when he saw this article.

The day before yesterday, "xx Daily" reported Yi Zhonghai's dark material, yesterday "xx Daily" reported Qin Huairu's dark material, and today "xx Daily" reported Yan Bugui's dark material again. So should it be time to report his dark material tomorrow?

He had asked Lou Xiao'e to ask Sun Jinfeng and Wang Shufen yesterday. The reporter named Jiang Yueyao not only asked about Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui, but also asked about him.

He is still not sure how much information the reporters know about him. If they only know that he has ruined his relationships, it would be fine. But if they know that he has promiscuous relationships, it will be troublesome.

At that time, he will not only be disgraced, but will also face imprisonment, and his life will be over.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao couldn't stay any longer, so he found a random excuse and asked for leave to go home.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Xu Damao, she was surprised and asked, "Xu Damao, why are you running back home instead of going to work?"

Xu Damao said anxiously, "Ezi, something big has happened. That damn reporter Jiang came to interview four people in our hospital. Among them, Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and Yan Bugui were all reported in the newspaper. I guess I will be reported in the newspaper tomorrow too."

"Once this is published, my reputation will be ruined. I must find a way to stop the xx Daily from reporting on me."

Lou Xiao'e said angrily: "I warned you before not to destroy Sha Zhu's marriage, but you didn't listen. Are you scared now?"

Xu Damao pleaded, "Ezi, I know I was wrong. You must save me, or my life will be over."
