Zhang Yuan's house was robbed, like Japanese invaders invading the village. The old wooden bed was trampled, the bowls and pots were smashed, the dried fish and cured rabbit meat hanging on the beams disappeared, and the bedding was scattered all over the floor. What was even worse was that it smelled of urine.

"This is too much." Zhang Yuan turned around and walked outside.

"Wait, Zhang Yuan!"

Suddenly someone called him from behind. Zhang Yuan looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai rushing over, followed by Qin Huairu. Both of them looked anxious.

Zhang Yuan felt annoyed when he saw Yi Zhonghai. He wondered if he wanted to stop him and not allow him to report the case. And what did Qin Huairu mean by following him?

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to do so. When he returned to the yard tonight, he saw that Zhang Yuan's house had been robbed. He felt very happy and thanked God for letting Zhang Yuan get his retribution. However, before he could be happy for a while, when he returned home, he heard a thud and Qin Huairu knelt on the ground, which scared Yi Zhonghai.

"Xiao Qin, what's wrong with you?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but look at the aunt. He saw the aunt shaking her head and sighing with a very heavy face. This made Yi Zhonghai have a bad feeling.

Qin Huairu's eyes turned red and tears streamed out. She could only cry and didn't say anything, which made Yi Zhonghai a little flustered.

"Tell me, what happened?"

However, no matter how Yi Zhonghai asked, Qin Huairu just refused to say anything, which made the aunt angry.

"Xiao Qin, if you don't want to trouble my old Yi, please leave now. Why are you crying as soon as we meet? The neighbors will think we are bullying you."

"Stop saying a few words!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw the aunt speaking, he scolded her with a cold face, which made the aunt a little uneasy. After seeing Yi Zhonghai and then Qin Huairu, the aunt left directly, not wanting to get involved in these trivial matters.

After seeing the old lady leave, Qin Huairu cried for a while before telling Yi Zhonghai what happened. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he almost fainted after hearing half of what she said. He pointed at Qin Huairu but then let go.

"What's going on? Aren't you at home? Why don't you take good care of the child? What can I say to you?"

"Uncle, I'm busy doing this and that all day long, and I have to take care of Dongxu, so I can't keep an eye on Banggeng. Banggeng is still young, just a child. He's usually very well behaved. In fact, it's my fault as a mother that I can't take good care of my injured husband who is paralyzed in bed, and I can't take good care of the child. Our family is in financial difficulty, and the child is short of money. I couldn't help it today, so I was a little naughty."

"Is this what you call being a little naughty? You've almost brought disaster to Zhang Yuan's family." Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but get angry. At this point in time, Qin Huairu still didn't think the matter was a big deal and thought the child was being naughty.

"Do you know the saying 'When you are young, you steal needles; when you are old, you steal gold'?"

"I understand the truth. I promise that I will educate Banggeng well in the future and not let him commit the same mistake again. Now I'm thinking about how to tell Zhang Yuan. I'm worried that he will send Banggeng to jail. If that happens, Banggeng's life will be over." Qin Huairu became more and more scared and started crying again.

"Zhang Yuan never listened to me in the first place, and you asked me to tell him what to do."

"Uncle, you hold a highly respected position in the hospital, and Zhang Yuan more or less listens to you. What's more, Banggeng is Dongxu's son, and Dongxu has always regarded you as his father, so Banggeng can be considered your grandson. Please help Banggeng for Dongxu's sake." Qin Huairu reached out and grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand. The delicate and soft touch made Yi Zhonghai feel a little itchy.

Yi Zhonghai grabbed Qin Huairu's hand. He did not notice the trace of disgust in Qin Huairu's eyes, but in order to ask Yi Zhonghai for help, she had no choice but to let Yi Zhonghai hold her hand.

"Okay, for Dongxu's sake, I can go to Zhang Yuan to ask for mercy, but how much compensation are you going to give to Zhang Yuan?"

"Ah, I have to pay compensation? This is such a big deal, and I have to pay compensation. My family can't even have food to eat. Dongxu needs money for treatment, and his salary won't be paid until next month. We are really in a difficult situation. Can you talk to Zhang Yuan and let it go this time?" Qin Huairu was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to ask her to pay compensation, and she was immediately in a dilemma.

Yi Zhonghai asked: "Didn't your mother-in-law take the donation from the hospital some time ago? There was at least nearly 200 yuan there. Where did you spend all the money in just a few days?"

Qin Huairu blushed, lowered her head and muttered: "The money is in my mother-in-law's hands. I asked her to give money to Dongxu for treatment before, but she refused. I guess she won't give the money this time."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was almost fainted with anger. It seemed that the Jia family was not short of money, but they treated him and the people in the courtyard as fools. If this matter were to be exposed, he, the initiator of the fundraising, would not be able to protect himself and would suffer as well.

"No, I can't take care of this matter. You guys can do whatever you want. I really can't do anything." Yi Zhonghai let go of Qin Huairu's hand and turned his back to Qin Huairu. He really didn't dare to look at Qin Huairu, for fear that he would be soft-hearted again. He couldn't take care of such neighbors. Fortunately, he found out early, otherwise when he was old, he didn't know how much money they had cheated him of.

"Uncle, please!" Qin Huairu was so scared when she saw Yi Zhonghai refused to help that she quickly stood up and hugged Yi Zhonghai, pressing her tall and straight upper body against Yi Zhonghai's broad back.

Yi Zhonghai felt Qin Huairu hugging his back. The soft feeling made his blood surge and a warm current surged up from the soles of his feet.

"Xiao Qin, let go! We won't be able to explain ourselves if others see us like this, so let go." Yi Zhonghai suppressed the numbness and used his willpower to stick to his conscience and sternly warned Qin Huairu.

"No, I won't let go unless you agree. Anyway, Banggeng is finished, and I'm not going to live, so what else do I have to worry about?"

"Okay, I promise you, I will talk to Zhang Yuan about this first and see what he wants?" Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said slowly.

Hearing that Yi Zhonghai agreed, Qin Huairu immediately showed a fox-like smile behind Yi Zhonghai. When she let go of her hands and Yi Zhonghai turned around, Qin Huairu put on a grateful and tearful look and thanked Yi Zhonghai again and again.

"Let's go, we have to leave now, otherwise Zhang Yuan will see what's going on in the house and run to the police station on impulse, and all our efforts will be wasted."

Yi Zhonghai's words reminded Qin Huairu.

"Uncle is right, let's go now."

As a result, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu just arrived at the front yard and happened to meet Zhang Yuan who was about to leave.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly shouted to stop Zhang Yuan, and Qin Huairu behind him was also startled.
