Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

However, Yi Zhonghai still firmly believes in his own ideas. He also thinks that Liu Guangqi is retreating to advance, with the purpose of making him go out to find him. In this way, the initiative is in his hands.

Auntie is just a housewife, so she has no idea about all these twists and turns. She just listens to Yi Zhonghai and does whatever he says.

The deaf old lady had a different feeling. She always felt that Liu Guangqi was not fooling them, but she was just an old lady and usually she would not even go out of the courtyard.

Therefore, she knows very little about these legal things, and her ideas are still stuck in the old warlord era, so now it depends on what Yi Zhonghai is going to do.

The three of them remained silent for a long time before Yi Zhonghai spoke.

"Xue Lian, go out and take a look. Liu Guangqi is probably waiting outside."

"Okay, I'll go now."

About five minutes later, the old lady came back and brought Yi Zhonghai the news that he least wanted to know.

"Zhonghai, I went out and looked around, but I couldn't find Liu Guangqi. Then I asked the guard at the hospital entrance, and he said that Liu Guangqi had just left."

Yi Zhonghai was completely dumbfounded when he heard the news. Could it be that the view that the letter of understanding was omnipotent, which he had insisted on for so long, was wrong? Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to believe it, nor did he dare to think about it.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t know how to face himself, nor did he know how to face the deaf old lady and the middle-aged woman. He simply covered his head with a quilt, trying to escape from it all.

At this time, the deaf old lady couldn't bear it anymore, so she reached out and pulled the quilt off Yi Zhonghai's face, and scolded Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, look at what you are like now. Just because of Liu Guangqi's words, you are going to deny everything about yourself. You really disappoint me.

We haven't even confirmed whether what Liu Guangqi said is true, and you're planning to give up?

Even if what Liu Guangqi said is true, so what? He is still willing to pay us money in exchange for the letter of understanding. This shows that the letter of understanding still has its role, but the role is not that great.

But what does it matter? We took the money and cured his health first. As for Liu Haizhong, he was destined to go to jail. Getting the letter of pardon means he will serve less time.

This has no impact on us. On the contrary, Liu Haizhong has gone in. Yan Bugui is a man who knows how to deal with current affairs. By then, you will be the one who has the final say in the entire courtyard.

Cheer up quickly. Although Liu Guangqi has the upper hand now, we can't let Liu Haizhong go so easily. Even if we don't have 2,000 yuan, we have to bite off a piece of meat from the Liu family."

An old lady also hurried to persuade Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhong Hai, the old lady is right. No matter what, we haven't lost. You can't just give up like this."

After listening to what the deaf old lady said, Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed. He also felt that he was a little too sensitive.

But he was obviously not like this before. Why has he become so fragile now? However, Yi Zhonghai could not help but think about the reason slowly.

Since Liu Guangqi has already made the move, he must find a way to receive it.

So Yi Zhonghai straightened his body and began to speak.

“Old lady, Xuelian, I understand, you are all right, no matter what, we are all winners.

Xuelian, go to the police station now and ask if the letter of apology is as Liu Guangqi said. If it is, go back to the courtyard and tell Liu Guangqi that we can have a good talk tomorrow morning.

Old lady, since no one is staying in this bed, you can stay here for the time being. Just think of it as you are accompanying me to talk, and it will save Xuelian from running back and forth. "

"Okay, I'll go now." The old lady said and left the ward.

"Okay, Zhong Hai, but if what Liu Guangqi said is true, then we have to discuss again how much money we should ask for in exchange for this letter of understanding."

"Yes, if it's true, then two thousand dollars is definitely impossible. I guess one thousand dollars is not even realistic. I also asked the doctor, it will cost me about two hundred dollars from the surgery to recovery, and I have to stay in the hospital for more than a week.

So I plan to ask Liu Guangqi for 500 yuan, what do you think? "

The deaf old lady thought for a while and then said.

"I don't know. It depends on how much effect this letter of forgiveness can have. If it can reduce the sentence by three months a year, then I think five hundred yuan is too low. If it can only reduce the sentence by one month a year, then five hundred yuan is a bit too much.

So let's wait until Xuelian comes back. Anyway, the minimum cannot be less than 300 yuan, this is the bottom line."

"Well, old lady, you are right."

On the other hand, an old lady came to the police station to inquire and received a reply similar to what Liu Guangqi said. Even if a letter of apology was issued, if the suspect pleaded guilty with a good attitude, the basic sentence could be reduced by about 20%, and the person could not be released directly.

Of course, this refers to criminal cases. If it is a civil case, the role of the letter of understanding will be much greater.

After getting the answer, the old lady returned to the courtyard as Yi Zhonghai instructed, and then went directly to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard.

Liu Guangqi has been back for a while. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu have already gone to bed. Only the second aunt is worried and is still waiting for Liu Guangqi.

Seeing Liu Guangqi coming back, the second aunt was relieved and hurriedly asked how the talk with Yi Zhonghai went. However, Liu Guangqi had no intention of telling his mother the actual situation.

Then he said a few words casually and told the second aunt to go to bed early, and he would take care of these things.

Seeing her son so confident, Second Aunt felt relieved and went back to the house to rest.

But Liu Guangqi did not go back to the house to rest. He was still waiting for an old lady to come to see him.

Not long after, an old lady came and the two didn't say much.

The aunt told Liu Guangqi to go to the hospital tomorrow morning to discuss it.

Liu Guangqi already knew that Yi Zhonghai and the others would definitely admit defeat, so he did not argue with the aunt too much and agreed directly.

It was already very late at this time, so the aunt did not return to the hospital. Instead, she went to the hospital with Liu Guangqi early the next morning.

In order to resolve his father's problem as soon as possible, Liu Guangqi got up very early today and went to the hospital with an old lady at around seven o'clock.

Seeing that Liu Guangqi was so anxious, Yi Zhonghai decided to take advantage of Liu Guangqi.

He asked an old lady to help him sit up, leaning against the hospital bed, and spoke to Liu Guangqi.

"Guangqi, your aunt also went to the police station to inquire about what you said yesterday. It seems that I am indeed a little ignorant.

But your father hurt me so badly, this letter of apology cannot be cheap. As for me, we have been neighbors for so many years.

I won’t ask for a random price. Five hundred yuan, just five hundred yuan, and I will write you a letter of apology right away.”

Although this price was within Liu Guangqi's budget, he naturally was not willing to compromise with Yi Zhonghai so easily.

When it comes to buying and selling, it’s all about bargaining, a give and take.

"Uncle, the price you offer doesn't seem to consider us as your old neighbors.

Before coming here, I also checked. Your injury, surgery and follow-up treatment until you recover and are discharged from the hospital will cost about two hundred dollars.

I will pay this amount, and then I will add another 100 yuan to your salary as your nutrition fee. The total is 300 yuan. This is my offer."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Liu Guangqi had investigated his injuries, it seemed that this kid was indeed much more difficult to deal with than his father.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also resented the doctors in this hospital. How could they tell other people about the patient's condition so casually?

At this time, the deaf old lady also woke up, and then the four of them began to bargain.

Finally, the four reached a consensus that Liu Guangqi would compensate Yi Zhonghai 350 yuan, and Yi Zhonghai would issue a letter of apology to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Guangqi then took out the letter of understanding that he had prepared long ago from his pocket and handed it to Yi Zhonghai for inspection.

After confirmation, an old lady signed on behalf of Yi Zhonghai, and a deaf old lady also signed as a witness.

Liu Guangqi did not waste any time and directly took out thirty-five big black tens and handed them to Yi Zhonghai.

Afterwards, Liu Guangqi went straight to the police station with the letter of apology.

Because Liu Guangqi had been here yesterday, he found the police officer in charge of his father's case and handed him the letter of apology.

Then I applied to meet Liu Haizhong.

Because Liu Haizhong admitted all the criminal facts last night and his attitude was very good.

So Liu Guangqi proposed to go see Liu Haizhong, and the police did not stop him.

Ten minutes later, Liu Guangqi finally met Liu Haizhong.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong no longer had the former spirit, and his whole body looked a little listless.

Liu Guangqi couldn't bear to see his father like this, so he said.

"Dad, I don't know who is behind this, but I can be sure that this group of people is definitely not simple.

They can disguise themselves as you and put Yi Zhonghai's sack into your mouth, and they can also quietly put Yi Zhonghai's money into our house.

One can imagine the strength of this group of people, and I guess there must be even more terrifying forces behind them.

We have no choice but to accept defeat this time, but don't worry, I have done my best to make your sentence as short as possible.

We asked you to voluntarily admit that you did it yesterday so that we could make a proactive confession. This way, when sentencing comes, we will consider reducing the punishment as appropriate.

And I just came from the hospital and got a letter of forgiveness from Yi Zhonghai. If he confesses voluntarily and gives the letter of forgiveness, the basic sentence can be reduced by less than 40%.

In other words, if you behave exceptionally well, you will only be sentenced to seven months at most instead of the original one-year sentence. This is the best result I can get for you.

Dad, from today on, you must behave yourself, absolutely cooperate with the police, and strive to reduce the punishment as much as possible.

Don't worry about the family, I'm here to take care of it."

The tears in her bangs flowed out uncontrollably like a flood that broke through a dam.

His heart was filled with relief and gratitude. Everyone said that he was partial and only had his eldest son in his heart. But if he had not been partial and insisted on letting Liu Guangqi go to school, he would probably face a longer prison sentence now.

"Guangqi, you've suffered so much! From now on, you will be in charge of all family affairs. One more thing, when you went to ask Yi Zhonghai for a letter of apology, how much money did you give him? That old man is really evil."

Liu Guangqi smiled proudly: "Hey, Dad, don't worry, I didn't spend much money in vain. Yi Zhonghai initially thought that the letter of forgiveness was a golden ticket to exoneration, and with it he could get you out, so he asked for two thousand yuan.

When I heard that, I turned around and left, asking him to go to the police station first and come back to talk to me. Sure enough, that evening, an aunt came to my house to find me and told me to go to the hospital the next morning to discuss the letter of understanding.

I knew they were in a hurry to use the money for the surgery, so they would definitely compromise, so I lowered the price to 350 yuan."

"Hahaha, you are indeed the hope of our Liu family. You did a great job. It seems that I can rest assured that the Liu family will be handed over to you."

"Okay, Dad, I only took half a day off today. I have to rush back to the factory now. You must do as I say and cooperate actively. You will be able to get out in one or two years at most."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, just go and get busy."

Afterwards, the two separated. Liu Haizhong's face regained its vitality and he was no longer depressed. Even though he had suffered such an unexpected disaster, it was a blessing to see his son grow up.
