Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Alas~ He was the one who spread the rumor before, this matter... is quite complicated.

“Xu Damao didn’t want to discuss it in detail.

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Could it be that he said this time as well?"

"Impossible. Our two families have had a good relationship recently. How could he do this?" Xu Damao denied.

Yi Zhonghai said: "That's not necessarily true, the human heart is hard to predict!"

Xu Damao frowned, feeling a little uneasy inside. Is this really possible?

Yi Zhonghai said: "He was the one who spread the first rumor. If the first rumor hadn't happened, no one would have believed the second rumor, and it wouldn't have spread so quickly.

“I think it would be most appropriate to convene a general meeting to ask He Yuzhu in person whether he said those words.

"Besides, this is also to give your wife a clear explanation, isn't it?"

“Just leaving it alone is not a long-term solution.

A rare opportunity is before him. Yi Zhonghai doesn't care who spread the second rumor, but the first source has already pointed to He Yuzhu. This matter needs to be exposed publicly, forcing He Yuzhu to clarify himself.

Let him prove his innocence. If he can't prove it, then it's irrefutable evidence! After all, he has a criminal record.

After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao, who frowned: "If we hold a general meeting, won't my wife know?"

“She’ll know sooner or later. If you tell her now, you can comfort her in time. Otherwise, if she overhears it, it may cause more problems.

"Yi Zhonghai's analysis does make sense, Liang Ladi can't remain in the dark forever.

“The situation is not serious yet, and she has already given birth to four children. Tell her now that with you here, there shouldn’t be any problems.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, uncle.

Xu Damao nodded in agreement.

Xu's mother did not speak. She did not have a clear idea. Since her son agreed, she also agreed.

The two men got up and went back to the house. They decided to tell Liang Ladi first, otherwise it would be difficult to hide it at the whole hospital meeting.

Liang Ladi was preparing to cook in the kitchen. When she saw Xu Damao and his mother coming back, she asked in confusion, "Damo, Mom, where did you go?"

Xu Damao was a little embarrassed: "Wife, let mom cook today's meal. I have something to tell you when we go into the house.

“Some things still need to be said by him.

Liang Ladi was puzzled. Her mother-in-law seemed a little strange a few days ago, and now her husband seemed weird too.

After listening to their conversation, Liang Ladi's reaction was unexpectedly calm, which made Xu Damao a little worried: "Wife, why don't you react?"

"What's your reaction?" Liang Ladi rolled her eyes. "Do you think it's easy to be a widow?"

"A widow is always surrounded by gossip. After my ex-husband passed away, there have been constant rumors.

If I respond to everything, will I still be alive?" Liang Ladi said disapprovingly: "You can tell who the child looks like at a glance, so why should I be afraid?"

"Hey, honey, you're right.

"Xu Damao smiled," But this matter cannot be let go like this, the uncle plans to hold a general meeting.

"General meeting?" Liang Ladi was stunned. "Can we find out ** this way?"

"Not necessarily, but didn't He Yuzhu spread rumors about me before?" Xu Damao explained: "The uncle thinks he is the biggest suspect.

“No, he certainly didn’t.

"Liang Ladi shook her head firmly," Although the relationship between our two families is average, it is not so bad.

Xu Damao nodded in agreement: “I think so too.

"Then why did you agree?" Liang Ladi was puzzled.

"He Yuzhu has many ideas, but he didn't do this.

Besides, it is very difficult for us to find someone ourselves, so it is better to let him find a solution.

Besides, it was Yi Zhonghai who proposed holding the meeting, and it has nothing to do with us.

"Xu Damao smiled proudly, "Besides, Yi Zhonghai has evil intentions!"

“He and He Yuzhu don’t get along, and he wants to use this opportunity to embarrass He Yuzhu.

Let him handle it, He Yuzhu will definitely have a way to deal with it.

“Besides, he has a wide network of contacts. As long as he is willing to investigate, he will definitely be able to find out who said it.

"How can you be so sure that he can find out?" Liang Ladi expressed her doubt.

"Look, you don't understand, right?" Xu Damao explained, "He Yuzhu is the head chef of the canteen. He is familiar with all the chefs in the factory. These chefs all take private jobs.

"As long as He Yuzhu says a word, and they ask about it, what secrets can they hide?"

"That's true!" Liang Ladi continued, "Don't rush to step forward when the time comes, and don't offend Master He.

“Don’t worry, Yi Zhonghai’s idea of ​​using me is simply a daydream.

"Xu Damao recalled the look in Yi Zhonghai's eyes when he was at home, and he understood his intention.

Liang Ladi suddenly thought: "Oh, by the way, Wenli is about to give birth, and the specific date is not clear yet. Can Master He come back in time?"

"That's right, we don't know yet whether the baby has been born!" Xu Damao came back to his senses.

...

Wenli has given birth successfully. As the New Year is approaching, her second child was also born before the New Year, a boy.

He Yuzhu has always wanted to have a daughter, but the child is his own flesh and blood after all, so how can he reject her?

The child was named He Wencheng. He was born in January, four years younger than the eldest brother. The timing was perfect.

The next day, they were discharged from the hospital and went to the Wen family. Wen Li began her confinement period. Confinement period in winter was not uncomfortable, as long as she kept warm.

He Yuzhu then went to work and distributed wedding candies to his colleagues in the cafeteria and received everyone's blessings. At this time, Yi Zhonghai came to him.

"Zhu Zi, we are going to hold a general meeting on the 29th.

"Yi Zhonghai notified the meeting.

"Oh my, the next day is New Year's Eve, why are we still having a meeting!" He Yuzhu was surprised, "It's the time to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, how busy!"

“There are some things to announce, and I also need to inform Nan Yi that everyone must be present.

" Yi Zhonghai said and left.

"This guy!" He Yuzhu was a little helpless and shook his head. He didn't know what was going on in the yard. He still had to go home to clean the house and put up Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve.

Well, it seems I have to run errands on both sides, in this cold weather...

He could only return to the kitchen helplessly.

On the 29th, He Yuzhu came back with He Yushui and decided to clean the room while the sun was down. He asked the third uncle to help write Spring Festival couplets and consider the task completed after they were pasted up.

He didn't want to worry about it tomorrow. After all, he didn't care much about tradition. Time was not the only criterion for doing things. It didn't matter whether he did it early or late.

The whole institute meeting was scheduled to be held at nine o'clock in the morning. Everyone arrived and gathered around the square table in the atrium. They looked at the long-missed big teapot and felt a little nostalgic.

“As you all know, today we are holding a full house meeting to clarify a recent rumor.

"Liu Haizhong spoke first. He was a little excited because he hadn't hosted such an event for a long time. "That..."

In his excitement, he couldn't find the right words for a moment, "Please tell me what happened, uncle.

Yi Zhonghai was already familiar with this and spoke directly: "Someone spread rumors that the child in Liang Ladi's belly is not Xu Damao's. This rumor is too vicious.

"Since Liang Ladi married into the family, everyone has seen that Xu Damao has managed the household in perfect order, doing everything from washing clothes, cooking, getting and boiling medicine.

“This kind of rumor is harmful, so we are holding this meeting to clear Liang Ladi’s name.

"He Yuzhu..." Yi Zhonghai finally called out He Yuzhu's name.

"Huh? What's wrong?" He Yuzhu was stunned and asked.

"Didn't you spread that rumor before? That Xu Damao is infertile. That's what you said, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"That's right.

" He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "But that's not a rumor, it's a fact.

He Yuzhu did not deny it, but he was surprised. How could someone make up such a thing about Liang Ladi?

He had no idea about this.

However, looking at Yi Zhonghai's current attitude, has he determined that he is spreading rumors?

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he turned to look at Xu Damao, who shook his head slightly.

He Yuzhu understood that Yi Zhonghai was planning to take advantage of the situation.

“Okay, you admit that you started the first rumor.

"Yi Zhonghai still defines it as a rumor.

“Wait, don’t keep telling lies, I’m telling you the truth, and I heard it from the leader.

"He Yuzhu firmly denied that he spread rumors, "We are not that kind of people!"

"It's not a rumor?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head. "If it's not a rumor, then Liang Ladi is pregnant now, isn't she?"

"Also, was it you who told the second rumor?"

Obviously, Yi Zhonghai's methods are not simple.

He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Is there any connection between them?"

“I remember there was a general meeting before, and I taught Xu Damao a lesson because he spread rumors that I was marrying into another family.

"I also popularized relevant knowledge to everyone at that time!"

"To tell you the truth, if Xu Damao hadn't married Liang Ladi, it's still unknown whether he would have a child now!"

"Besides, I'm busy with my wife's affairs recently. How can I have time to spread rumors?"

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to listen to He Yuzhu's explanation. He insisted on confirming whether He Yuzhu had really spread the rumor. He held the teacup and said calmly: "He Yuzhu, now it's not your turn to say it. You did it once before, and this time you need to prove that it was not you who did it.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he laughed. He had seen a lot of such things in his previous life. The most famous one was the case of "proving that your father is your father".

"I say Yi Zhonghai, what you said is wrong. The police must have a basis for collecting evidence. Your empty talk will make people think you are framing others.

"He Yuzhu retorted," When you say that, it makes people think you are framing me.

"How do you prove now that it wasn't you who did it?"

“…” Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment. He didn’t expect He Yuzhu to react so quickly, but he still had something to say, “You have a criminal record.

"Don't mention criminal record. Even if I have committed a crime, so what?" He Yuzhu was not angry. He thought it was not worth it. "How about this, let's just call the police.

“Let the police intervene, after all, spreading rumors is illegal.

We will call the police and let them investigate, and at the same time notify the street to see if Yi Zhonghai's statement is tenable!" He Yuzhu turned to He Yushui and said, "Yushui, go call the police!"

"Okay!" He Yushui prepared to get up.

Yi Zhonghai saw that this was not going to work. His argument was untenable and he couldn't let He Yuzhu make a big fuss.

He immediately wanted to stop it.

However, someone was quicker than him. Qin Huairu suddenly spoke up in a hurried tone: "We are finally reunited during the Chinese New Year, why are you calling the police?"

"Let's not pursue this matter any further!"

He Yuzhu was stunned. Why did Qin Huairu get involved?

Liu Haiyang also echoed at this time: "Old Yi, it's wrong for you to do this. How can you just say something without any evidence?"

"And He Yuzhu, this is an internal matter of our compound. Calling the police and the street office is too much. Third Uncle and I are still here.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement: “Okay, let’s not look for them for now.

“But we can’t just let it go. Now not only Xu Damao’s family but my family has also been affected. After all, all these rumors are directed at me.

“In the absence of solid evidence, if Yi Zhonghai does not give an explanation today, this matter will not end.

Yi Zhonghai said: "He Yuzhu, you had a feud with Xu Damao before, so I am justified in doubting you!"

"Is it reasonable?" He Yuzhu certainly disagreed, "This is unreasonable. Before, Xu Damao spread rumors that I married into his wife's family, and I taught him a lesson once.

"Then I made his situation public, to prevent him from harming others again!"

“Although Liang Ladi is pregnant now, this is also the result of long-term treatment.

We have to understand the cause and effect.

"If he marries someone else, will he still be able to take his medicine and cultivate himself?"

"Can the woman give him such an opportunity and time?"

“This issue needs to be discussed carefully.

"Do you think I'm right?"

In the yard, everyone was just watching, but after He Yuzhu's explanation, everyone felt that it made sense.

He Yuzhu continued, "Xu Damao was married before, but Lou Xiao'e didn't wait for him to get divorced, that's a fact.

"Look at Xu Damao now. He has people cooking for him, washing his clothes, and making medicine for him. Without these, how could he have his own children?"

"Look at me again. What motive do I have to make up a lie to deal with Xu Damao? I work in the factory during the day and come home to take care of pregnant women at night. I either work overtime or cook.

Yi Zhonghai, your suspicion is totally untenable.

"It's nothing more than the donation last time. You are just seeking revenge!"

He Yuzhu brought up the donation incident again to remind everyone and to sound a wake-up call to Yi Zhonghai. He cannot just defend himself but must also fight back!

I secretly like the bangs in the center, well done.

"Director Yi, it seems that today's meeting is not suitable for you to host. What do you think, President Yan?" Liu Haizhong tried to take over the leadership.

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and said, "That's right, Director Yi, you targeted Zhuzi from the beginning, and you had no evidence.

It seems that you are still upset about that incident.

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect to be stabbed in the back. "Okay, then leave this matter to you two to handle!" After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave.

How could He Yuzhu let him get away so easily? "Wait, it's not over yet!"

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong?" Yan Bugui asked.

He Yuzhu spread his hands and said, "Listen carefully, everyone, this lie must have come from our yard.

We are the only ones who know that Liang Ladi is pregnant, after all, the news was just announced not long ago.
