Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world

He Yuzhu frowned slightly, looked at the police calmly and said, "Comrade police, I, He Yuzhu, am upright and honest. I have never done anything I have not done. That night I was at home with my pregnant wife, and she can testify for me."

The police officers looked at each other, and one of them said, “Okay, we will verify the situation with your family.

But before the case is solved, I hope you can understand Comrade Yi Zhonghai's feelings and cooperate with our investigation."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I understand, but I also hope that Yi Zhonghai can put aside his suspicion of me as soon as possible and not let this incident affect the harmony of the courtyard."

After the police officers left, He Yuzhu returned home and told Zhang Wanting what happened.

Zhang Wanting said angrily: "How can Yi Zhonghai be so suspicious of people without reason? You have done so many good things for the courtyard, but he still doesn't believe you."

He Yuzhu comforted him: "Don't be angry, the innocent will be innocent. We just need to do our own things well, and I believe the police comrades will clear my name."

However, Yi Zhonghai's suspicion did not diminish due to the police's questioning.

He still felt that He Yuzhu was a major suspect and began to ask around the yard about He Yuzhu's whereabouts.

The other residents of the courtyard were dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's behavior.

Someone said, "Uncle, you can't just suspect others just because you lost money. Zhuzi has made so many contributions to the courtyard, how can you treat him like this?"

Yi Zhonghai said stubbornly: "I don't want to doubt him, but he spends a lot of money every day, so the source of his money is suspicious. Now that I have lost the money, he is so generous to pay for the repair of the gate. Isn't this even more suspicious?"

As time went on, Yi Zhonghai's suspicion of He Yuzhu caused more and more conflicts in the courtyard.

Everyone began to split into two factions. One faction supported He Yuzhu and believed that he was innocent; the other faction felt that Yi Zhonghai's suspicion had some truth.

In this turbulent courtyard, a storm of trust and suspicion is quietly brewing, and the mysterious theft case is still like a fog, covering the entire courtyard.

At the same time, Qin Huairu began to get anxious when she saw that Yi Zhonghai had not fulfilled his promise.

She thought that she and the children were still hoping that Yi Zhonghai would adopt Xiaodang so that they could live a more stable life, but now the matter has come to nothing.

Qin Huairu decided to go to Yi Zhonghai to find out the truth.

Yi Zhonghai also knew what Qin Huairu was thinking, and the two of them agreed to meet in He Yuzhu's cellar as before.

That night, it was very dark, and Yi Zhonghai still sneaked into He Yuzhu's cellar to wait for Qin Huairu's arrival.

That night, it was very dark, and Yi Zhonghai still groped his way to He Yuzhu's cellar and waited for Qin Huairu's arrival.

After a while, Qin Huairu also quietly came to the cellar.

With a hint of anxiety and expectation on her face, she looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, can we adopt Xiaodang? The children are looking forward to it."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said with a worried look on his face: "Qin Huairu, I just lost my money. How can I have the energy and the energy to adopt Xiaodang now? Let's talk about it after I solve the problem of losing the money."

Qin Huairu was filled with disappointment after hearing this. Her eyes were slightly red. She said, "Master, you promised me everything at the beginning. Now Xiaodang is in trouble. Jia Zhang is beating and scolding her. I was expecting you to take her away. What should I do?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't want this to happen, but this happened too suddenly. Please wait a little longer. I will fulfill my promise when I get the money back."

The two were silent for a moment in the dim cellar. The atmosphere was depressing and heavy.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and said, "Okay, Lao Yi, I'll wait a little longer. But you have to find a solution quickly, the child is suffering. I'm going to give birth again soon, and I don't have time to take care of her..." Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best."

Then, Qin Huairu left the cellar silently. Yi Zhonghai stood there alone for a while, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

On the one hand, he was anxious about losing the money, and on the other hand, he felt that he owed something to Qin Huairu and the children.

At this time, he still had doubts about He Yuzhu. He wondered if He Yuzhu had stolen his money. If not, where did the money go?

He Yuzhu didn't care about all this and continued to live his leisurely life.

In the morning, he had breakfast cooked by Ann Hui, then rode his bicycle to take Ann Hui to school. At noon, he went to the steel rolling mill to cook a meal, and in the afternoon he returned home to be with his wife Ann Hui.

A few months passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was 1959.

During these months, Yi Zhonghai tried every possible way to persuade aunt Zhang Cuihua to agree to adopt Xiaodang.

But Jia Zhang was not a pushover. Knowing that Yi Zhonghai wanted to adopt Xiaodang and that there was something fishy going on between him and Qin Huairu, she started raising the price.

The price went up from 30 yuan to 50 yuan, and then from 50 yuan to 100 yuan. Qin Huairu was so anxious that she kept saying, "Mom, you can't do this! The uncle is Dongxu's master. He adopted Xiaodang for Dongxu's sake. How can you do this?"

It would have been fine if Qin Huairu didn't say anything, but once she started talking, Jia Zhang became extremely angry.

"You slut, as soon as my son died, you turned your back on him and persuaded Yi Zhonghai to adopt Xiaodang. Do you think I'm blind and don't know what happened between you and him?..."

Jia Zhang's response immediately left Qin Huairu speechless.

Is she still afraid that Jia Zhang will continue to dwell on Jia Dongxu's death?

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to discuss it with aunt Zhang Cuihua again.

"Old Yi, it's a famine time now, and there are so many children out there. Why do we have to adopt Xiaodang? Can't we adopt one from outside? Are the rumors about you and Qin Huairu true?" Zhang Cuihua made a scene after a few times, and got so angry that she went back to the house and complained.

"What nonsense are you talking about? He knows that there are a few gossipers in our yard who like to make up rumors for no reason.

Xiaodang is Dongxu's child, just like our grandson. Now that Dongxu is gone, if we help raise him, we will not only gain a good reputation, but also have someone to take care of him in the future. Isn't it great to kill two birds with one stone? ...

But if we adopt a child from outside, we are not familiar with the background, and he leaves after he grows up, what should we do? But Xiaodang will not do that. Her mother and grandmother are in this yard. Where can she run away? "

"Okay! I'll listen to you. I'll go to Jia Zhang again tomorrow and give her 100 yuan. If she refuses to give it, I won't care about it anymore. I'll go out and get a child to raise..." The aunt couldn't bear it anymore.
