Yi Zhonghai looked solemn as he walked straight towards the deaf old woman's hut.

A sneer appeared on Li Haoyu's lips, and he realized that the situation might become interesting.

Just as the deaf old woman was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? It's the dead of night. How can people sleep peacefully?" The old woman walked to the door with her cane in hand, opened the door and asked.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's gloomy face, the deaf old lady frowned. "Yi Zhonghai, why are you here so late at night?" She questioned him dissatisfiedly. Seeing that his face looked wrong, she felt an inexplicable worry in her heart.

Yi Zhonghai pushed open the door and walked into the house. He knew the deaf old woman was curious, so he closed the door without waiting for her to speak.

"Old lady, you know how I have treated you over the years, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked, trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? What happened?" The deaf old woman asked instead of answering, having a premonition that something must have happened.

"Why did you give me that contraceptive prescription? Is it because you are childless that I must follow in your footsteps and remain childless for the rest of my life?" he asked in a cold voice.

"Buzz--" The deaf old woman's mind was buzzing like a swarm of bees. How could this be possible? How could Yi Zhonghai know that she had used the drug to kill her family?

When she was young, she was just a concubine in a wealthy local family. Because her husband gave her a drug that would kill her family, she never had any children. Driven by a desire for revenge, she killed the descendants of her former master and his husband in a certain incident. Then, a playboy fell in love with her and became his wife. But her husband later betrayed his nation and became a thief, and she was involved in it, causing countless human tragedies. Because she had no son, her psychology became increasingly distorted.

The deaf grandmother gave him sterilization drugs to prevent him from neglecting her when he had children in the future. No one could foresee the consequences of growing old without anyone caring for him.

"Yi Zhonghai, who told you these nonsense? You are a member of the SS, how could you do that to me?" She firmly denied it because it meant that there would be a life-and-death feud between them.

Although she had countless gold bars and treasures hidden away, as a lonely old woman, all of these were of no use to her.

"You still want to deny your debt. What does 'Thousand Days Red' mean? I only saw this special medicine here. I took it that year because I was poisoned by 'Thousand Days Red'. How could you do this to me, old lady?"

"Yi Zhonghai, you are too naive! How could I do this to you? 'Thousand Days Red'? Who said that?" The deaf old woman retorted hastily. She never thought that Yi Zhonghai actually knew about the sterilization drug.

"Li Haoyu told me. I knew I was poisoned by his expression. He knew it was 'Thousand Days Red', and I had seen it here before. The bottle is still in your room." Yi Zhonghai's heart was churning, but he suppressed it. After all, others did not know the details of the deaf old lady. Only he knew that her power was extraordinary, and the people she could contact were not ordinary people. Perhaps this involved a wider range of secret people. If he hurt her directly, it might mean a closer distance to death for him.

"I don't have such a thing! It was that brat who deceived you. He is such a bad person, can't you recognize him? He is trying to stir up trouble between us."

"Besides, what's wrong with not having a son? I already have one myself! I can just find someone to accompany me and spend my old age with me when the time comes!" the deaf old lady insisted.

"That's easy to say. Now even Xu Damao's wife can get pregnant. Why, why should I be the one to be childless?" Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost roared.

The sound was so loud that even people next door could hear it, and Li Haoyu, who had keen senses, was no exception.

I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to be able to endure it until now. The old lady's viciousness was indeed too much. She couldn't find a child to support her in her old age, so she pushed Yi Zhonghai to a dead end. In the novel, Yi Zhonghai, in order to ensure his future life, did not hesitate to use Sha Zhu to achieve the same goal.

This method is really vicious. It turns out that the disease of extinction can also be contagious, and it is even more frightening than the virus. "Old Yi, this is not good, Old Yi, listen to me, I have money, that bastard said it can be cured, right? As long as there is a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng, it will definitely be cured. I can pay for it, and then ask Qin Huairu to give birth to a child for you." The deaf old lady interrupted quickly.

"Where's the money?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"I don't have it with me, but don't worry, Old Yi. As long as you can get the ginseng, I will pay for it for you." The deaf old lady knew that she could no longer continue to be in a stalemate with Yi Zhonghai. She was already in her twilight years and what she feared most was death. If Yi Zhonghai really abandoned her, she was afraid that she would not live for a few days.

"Starting tomorrow, you will join the Jia family in sharing meals, and the food ration card and subsidy will be handed over to Qin Huairu." Yi Zhonghai said the arrangement coldly.

Although she was reluctant, the deaf old lady finally had to nod in agreement. She knew very well that Yi Zhonghai had already set his sights on Qin Huairu's belly, and planned to have Qin Huairu continue his bloodline after he recovered from his illness.

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady hated Li Haoyu even more. "This damned boy has been interfering with my good deeds time and time again. If I don't get rid of him, I will be sorry to heaven." The old lady thought silently in her heart.

She thought her plan was perfect, but Li Haoyu even knew about the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, the Thousand Days Red. He could get information about this thing that should have belonged to the royal family, which was enough to prove that the inheritance of the Li family's medical skills was not simple. Because of this, she couldn't let this guy go.

After Yi Zhonghai left, the deaf old lady hurried to find her box. The moment she picked it up, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Why was it so light? "Oh!" She exclaimed. The treasures in the box disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few military medals, which meant that the person who stole the gold must have known about her involvement with Bai Gouzi and did not make it public, thinking that she would not dare to make a big fuss.

The deaf old lady woke up and felt chest tightness, almost spitting out blood. After careful consideration, the most likely suspect is Yi Zhonghai, after all, he is a frequent visitor to the house. Another possibility is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Jia Zhang's family. Jia Zhang had stolen many times, and she behaved herself for a while after being caught. But she is still a thief, and she has been seen committing crimes with Bang Geng more than once.

The deaf old lady never dreamed that her gold was taken away by Li Haoyu. Not only did she lose money, but the money hidden by Yi Zhonghai also disappeared on the same day. When Yi Zhonghai returned home, he found that there was only a passbook left in his treasure box, and all the gold, silver and jewelry were gone. Almost at the same time, Yi Zhonghai's blood was boiling. "Who did it?" He asked in his heart, excluding his sister-in-law and aunt first, because he picked up the box as soon as she left.

Therefore, he believed that the thieves were in their yard, and the most likely suspects were Jia Zhang and Bang Geng. Fortunately, the passbook had to be withdrawn in person, otherwise even the passbook might have been robbed. But he couldn't make a loud noise. Once he revealed that a large amount of his gold was stolen, how would he explain the source? He was just an honest farmer who had been passed down for three generations. Who else could have so much gold? Suppressing his anger, Yi Zhonghai tacitly accepted the reality.

But he would never accept this, and he had to find out who stole his hard-earned wealth. Therefore, the Jia family became the first focus of his investigation.

By the way, Jia Zhang and "Bang Geng" might be both possible, Qin Huairu is also a suspect. She hid very deeply, even Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu were fooled. If the real murderer is Qin Huairu...

A cold light flashed across Yi Zhonghai's eyes.

The next morning, He Yushui came to Li Haoyu's residence early. The girl had been teased by Li Haoyu yesterday and was itching for sex, so she came at dawn.

Li Haoyu opened the door and He Yushui walked in quickly with a red face.

Li Haoyu closed the door and looked at He Yushui with a smile.

He Yushui blushed and said coquettishly, "I'll go cook."

Li Haoyu hugged He Yushui and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat you first and then have breakfast later."

"Brother Li Haoyu, shall we go to Building 18?"

He Yushui was worried about the gossip of other people in the yard. Even though the two were in love, she had not yet married into the Li family. Even if people would accept premarital behavior, they would still attribute such behavior to indecent behavior and like to elevate it to moral judgment.

Li Haoyu picked up He Yushui and walked towards the bedroom, comforting her, "Don't worry, my house is very soundproof."

Somehow, He Yuqing felt strange and buried her head deeply in Li Haoyu's arms, like an obedient kitten.

I originally planned to have breakfast, but it was already past eleven in the morning.

After getting dressed, Li Haoyu prepared to go to the kitchen to cook for the afternoon.

He Yushui got up and followed him, picked up the clothes that fell on the ground and put them on, then limped to the kitchen.

"Why don't you take a rest for a while? Let me do it." Li Haoyu persuaded.

"Let me help you." He Yushui smiled slightly. She felt that the days with Li Haoyu were so sweet and she looked forward to marrying this man as soon as possible.

"Yeah." Li Haoyu kissed He Yushui's forehead, and the two began to prepare food.

Time flies. Yi Zhonghai has been asking around various drug stores these days about century-old ginseng, but there is none. Not to mention ginseng that is a hundred years old. Even ginseng that is fifty years old is worth a lot of money.

He was anxious.

The dumb old lady ate with the Jia family. At first, Jia Zhang was quite dissatisfied with this, but when she heard that she could get an extra ten yuan per month and it would be included in the dumb old lady's ration, Jia Zhang happily accepted it. But the food was really bland and pitiful, just steamed buns and pickled vegetables every day.

The mute old lady was extremely depressed, and was sure that her gold was stolen by the Jia family. Unfortunately, she had no substantial evidence. She had been quietly observing these days, but did not find any clues.

It seemed that Yi Zhonghai’s lost gold bars were nowhere to be found.

In the courtyard, the ones who lived the best were Li Haoyu and the Xu family. Li Haoyu was a rich kid, and the book he wrote had earned him tens of thousands of yuan. Although he denied it, Yi Zhonghai thought that Li Haoyu was arrogant and disdained to steal other people's property, so he directly removed the property from his name.

Xu Damao was even less likely to be a suspect. No matter how badly he was described, his family was wealthy and his wife was the daughter of a merchant, so Xu Damao was also ruled out as a suspect.

The only possibility left is that the gold bars were stolen by the Jia family.

Fortunately, there was still some money left in his savings account, so he would have to investigate the matter slowly.

Li Haoyu's life is busy and fulfilling. In his spare time, he spends his time dating girls, seeing patients and co-workers, working in the steel plant clinic, and occasionally communicating with Master Ren.

But recently he discovered that Nie Xiaoqian's eyes were full of resentment when she looked at him.

That time when they went to the countryside together, they had a rare opportunity to be alone together. He kept hinting, but Li Haoyu never took any action.
