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

When Zhou Jin came out of the street office, it was almost time, so he prepared to go to Hongxing Primary School to pick up Zhou Xin after school, and then go to pick up He Yushui.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jin returned to the courtyard with his two sisters.

After returning home, He Yushui went to the study with Zhou Xin to do homework, while Zhou Jin went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Thinking that Yi Zhonghai's matter would be over soon, he decided to have a good meal today.

Forty minutes later, braised pork, mapo tofu, cold pig ears and corn pork ribs soup were already placed on the table, and the two little girls came out when they smelled the food.

He Yushui asked: "Brother Zhou Jin, is today a good day? Why did you make so many delicious dishes?"

Zhou Xin: "Yes, brother, it smells so good, can we eat now?"

Zhou Jin: "Of course, I see you guys are studying hard, so I want to give you some good nourishment. Yushui, go get the bowls and chopsticks, we're ready to eat."

He Yushui: "Okay."

There are thousands of beautiful things in the world, but only food should not be missed.

Soon the three of them finished all the food on the table. He Yushui and Zhou Xin consciously began to clean up the dishes, wash the dishes, and clean the room.

Zhou Jin sat in a chair and watched this scene. He felt so happy in his heart. This feeling of having his family by his side was the first time he had felt in his two lifetimes.

After He Yushui and the others had finished cleaning up, Zhou Jin asked Zhou Xin to go back to the house to study, as he had something to say to Yushui.

Looking at Zhou Jin's serious expression, He Yushui was a little at a loss, but still followed Zhou Jin to the bedroom obediently.

Zhou Jin brought a chair to He Yushui, asked her to sit down first, and then he sat on the bed.

He Yushui was extremely nervous at this time. It was the first time in such a long time that she saw Zhou Jin so serious. Her voice was trembling.

"Brother Zhou Jin, did I make any mistake?"

Zhou Jin saw that He Yushui was frightened by his expression, so he quickly put on a smiling face and said.

"Yushui, don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong. I came to you alone because I really have something to tell you. It was my expression just now that frightened you."

He Yushui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's what I said. I've been very well behaved recently. How could I make you unhappy? Brother Zhou Jin, tell me, what's the matter?"

"Yushui, I accidentally overheard Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man plotting some time ago. They wanted to take Qin Huairu's underwear and put it in my bedroom while I was not in the courtyard, so as to frame me."

"Ah, how could they do this? This is too bad. I used to think they were good people. What a fool I am."

"Yushui, you are not a fool, you are just kind and have been taken advantage of. Please listen to me first."

"Okay, Brother Zhou Jin, go on."

"At the time, I was thinking about how to avoid this and deal with them properly. Fortunately, both of their homes were robbed, and Yi Zhonghai was beaten and sent to the hospital. I guess it was because of these two things that they postponed their actions.

Since they came up with such a vicious plan to deal with me, I naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so I began to secretly investigate Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man.

You know what, I actually found out some things. Yi Zhonghai is indeed not a good person for coming up with such a vicious plan.

I found out from the post office that your father He Daqing has been sending you ten yuan for living expenses and a letter every month since the third month after he left Beijing. He would send you more money on holidays and your birthday.

But I found out at the post office that Yi Zhonghai had signed for this letter and the money inside it for several years. Thinking about your previous life, I am sure that Yi Zhonghai never gave you the money, and he didn't even tell you about it, am I right?"

When He Yushui heard the news, she was stunned, her eyes were full of disbelief, tears flowed uncontrollably, and she began to choke up with sobs.

Zhou Jin quickly took some paper for He Yushui to wipe her tears, and then began to comfort her.

After a long while, He Yushui's mood slowly recovered, but her eyes were still filled with tears.

Zhou Jin also knew that this incident had a great impact on He Yushui. Even though she already knew that her father was forced to leave her, He Yushui still had many complaints against He Daqing because he had been ignored for so many years.

But now that he knows that his father not only did not abandon him, but instead sent him money and letters every month, and even gave him extra money on holidays and his birthday, He Yushui feels even more regretful.

She hated herself for blaming her father in her heart without knowing the actual situation. She hated herself for being foolishly deceived by Yi Zhonghai and others, and she hated her father.

Thinking of this, He Yushui's eyes became firm. She looked at Zhou Jin and said very seriously.

"Brother Zhou Jin, since you already know about this, I think you should have figured out what to do. I absolutely support your approach, but I have a request that I hope you can help me realize."

"Okay, Rainwater, you go ahead."

"This time, I don't want any compensation. I want him to go to jail. I want him to stay there for the rest of his life."

Zhou Jin knew that Yu Shui hated Yi Zhonghai to death at this moment. He touched He Yu Shui's hair and spoke gently.

“Yushui, don’t worry. This time I will not only help you get back everything that belongs to you, but I will also send him in. If he’s unlucky, he might just eat peanuts.”

"Really, Brother Zhou Jin, you're not saying this just to comfort me, are you?"

"Yushui, don't worry. I found out more than just this one thing this time. Yi Zhonghai has done a lot of bad things behind the scenes, and there is one more thing that involves your family."

"What? There's one more thing. Brother Zhou Jin, tell me quickly, what is it?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you now. I found out from someone that your father had discussed with the canteen director at the time before leaving Sijiu City and left his workstation to your brother.

Because your father was worried about your brother, he found Yi Zhonghai before leaving and asked him to wait until your brother came of age and then take your brother to the steel mill to inherit his job.

But your father entrusted his work to the wrong person. Not long after your father left, Yi Zhonghai found the canteen director, and the two of them hit it off and sold the work station directly.

As for your brother’s continued work at the steel mill, it was because Yi Zhonghai wanted to better control your brother that he used his connections to find him an apprentice. Otherwise, with your brother’s cooking skills at the time, he could have directly become a chef.”

After hearing Zhou Jin's words, He Yushui's hatred for Yi Zhonghai reached its peak. He wished he could eat his flesh, drink his blood, knock his bones, suck his marrow, sleep on his skin, and pull out his hair.

"Brother Zhou Jin, tell me what you are going to do. I will definitely cooperate with you."

"Yushui, although we know these two things now, we don't have any evidence, so I plan to take you to Baoding tomorrow to get evidence from your father about Yi Zhonghai's embezzlement of your living expenses.

Then I will ask him to produce some certificates, and I can send Yi Zhonghai directly to jail. Then I can use the pressure of public opinion to force the police station and the steel mill to investigate Yi Zhonghai's private reselling of work positions.

And I have someone who has been investigating Yi Zhonghai. If anything is found out, I believe Yi Zhonghai will not be able to escape even a peanut."

"Brother Zhou Jin, are you going to meet my dad? I'm a little nervous."

"Silly girl, there's no need to be nervous. Your father has been sending you living expenses for several years, which means you are always in his heart. You must want to see him too."

He Yushui pondered for a while, then nodded.

"By the way, Brother Zhou Jin, you asked my father to provide some certificates. What are they?"

"To be precise, three pieces of evidence are needed. The first one is that your father should entrust me with the task of holding Yi Zhonghai accountable. This will make it easier for me to take action against Yi Zhonghai.

The second is that I hope your father can provide a certificate to prove that the money is for your living expenses and has nothing to do with your brother. "

He Yushui was a little confused when she heard this, so she asked quickly.

"Brother Zhou Jin, I understand the first proof. It is to facilitate your actions. But I don't understand the second proof. Since it is the money sent by my father, it should be divided equally between my brother and me. Why do you say it has nothing to do with my brother?"

After hearing what He Yushui said, Zhou Jin laughed.

"You are such a silly girl. Listen to my analysis. Before your father left Sijiu City, he left the house, workstation, and cooking skills to your brother. It can be said that your brother can support himself and does not need your father to give him living expenses.

You were only six or seven years old at that time. How could you survive without living expenses? So this money was originally just for your living expenses.

Secondly, even if the money belongs to you and your brother, you must keep all the money in your hands. As for the reason, you will understand it if you think about Qin Huairu. "

After hearing Zhou Jin's words, He Yushui showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Brother Zhou Jin, thanks to you being here, otherwise my brother and I would have been deceived by Yi Zhonghai and his gang for who knows how long. Thank you."

"Silly girl, why are you still saying thank you to me? You are sober now. As for your brother, I can't guarantee it."

"How could that be? If my brother knew that Yi Zhonghai had embezzled my living expenses for so many years and that our miserable life was caused by him, he would definitely turn against Yi Zhonghai."

"Yushui, it seems you still don't understand your brother, Yi Zhonghai, and the old deaf man."

"Brother Zhou Jin, what does this mean?"

"Your brother is different from you. You have been educated and have seen the world, so you can understand many things at a glance.

But your brother is different. His knowledge is basically limited to the courtyard house and the steel mill. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man have brainwashed him for so many years. It is not something that can be changed in a short time.

Your brother might hate Yi Zhonghai to death the moment he hears the news, but once he vents his anger and calms down, believe it or not, the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai can find any excuse to trick your brother into leaving. "

He Yushui fell silent when she heard this. Although she didn't want to believe it, she also felt that Zhou Jin was right.
