Yi Zhonghai felt that this matter was not easy to handle. Xu Damao was no longer the same as before and would report to the police at every turn. He was afraid that he would not be able to control it.

Looking at Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui smiling because they had reached an agreement, he really wanted to ask Sha Zhu if he had lost his mind to take on this mess.

He had no choice but to ask Lin Donglai for help: "Donlai, since you are also there, tell me about this matter. Should Xu Damao be held responsible?"

"I don't think this has anything to do with Xu Damao. The mushrooms were given to him by someone from the countryside. If he knew they were poisonous, he would never have dared to give them to the third uncle."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai held back his words for a long time before he dared to speak out: "It is said that a bystander sees more clearly. Dong Kan still sees this matter more clearly."

"Zhuzi, you should learn from Donglai. It's not like you should act without thinking when you are grown up."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking with a look of disappointment, he glared at Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui, then looked at Lin Donglai with more admiration.

"Old Yan, Zhuzi is ignorant and speaks nonsense, don't believe him. If we talk about this matter, I think you are also responsible."

Yan Bugui became anxious when he heard this and struggled to sit up straight: "Lao Yi, what are my responsibilities? Please tell me clearly."

"You know how you got that string of mushrooms. I saw it all the other day. It was you who asked Xu Damao for it. Am I right?"

After a while, Yan Bugui didn't reply. Sha Zhu couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Third uncle, first uncle is waiting for your reply."

Yan Bugui was still thinking about how to explain himself to get out of this matter. After all, this was a matter concerning his monthly salary.

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing nearby, saw Sha Zhu behaving like a fool and looked at him like a fool again, but this time there was more contempt in his eyes.

"Uncle, you don't have to worry about it anymore. Everyone knows who is responsible."

"Xu Damao is a cunning guy. You want to trick him into paying for your family's medical expenses? I don't think it's possible."

Lin Donglai knew at a glance what this calculating third uncle was thinking. He didn't have the patience to watch him perform, so he simply stood up and pointed out the matter.

After listening to Lin Donglai's words, Yi Zhonghai agreed: "Dongli is right, Zhuzi, you should be more careful. Xu Damao has learned his lesson now, and he always wants to report to the police."

"If this matter is blamed on him, he might report it to the police immediately if he wants to."

"Old Yan, he wants to report this to the police. Do you think it will be good for your family and everyone in our compound?"

The third aunt woke up when the others started talking, but she didn't sit up because she was afraid of hurting her hand that was receiving the IV drip.

Of course she knew the origin of this bunch of mushrooms. Last night she thought of making something delicious for her new daughter-in-law when she got home, so she soaked the mushrooms in water and cooked them.

Because she was afraid that if it was cooked for too long it would shrink and not taste as good, she only cooked it for a short while before serving it out. The whole family ate it and found it delicious.

After hearing what Lin Donglai and the old man said, she felt that it made sense, and said quietly while lying down, "Old Yan, just listen to Donglai and Old Yi."

"I think they are right. We really can't blame Xu Damao for this."

Sha Zhu looked at the third aunt with a surprised expression on his face: "Don't worry, third aunt, if he wants to report to the police, just let him do it, as if no one is afraid of him."

Yan Bugui felt a little relieved when he saw that the third aunt had also woken up. After thinking for a while, he decided that the minority should obey the majority.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai with embarrassment: "Old Yi, I'm sorry to bother you this time. You know my family's situation. I can't pay back the money in a short time."

"When our family saves enough money in the future, we'll pay you back, okay?"

"And Zhuzi, Uncle San can't pay you back right now. Can you pay me back later?"

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to reply, Sha Zhu said in a careless manner: "Hey! Third uncle, we are friends now."

"As long as you can get better soon and don't delay introducing me to someone, you can return the money to me anytime you have it. If you really don't have it, forget it. Isn't that considerate enough?"

Sha Zhu got so excited that he spoke without any regard for others. Yi Zhonghai's face changed when he heard him.

He paid a full twenty yuan, and although his monthly salary was not low, he couldn't just waste his money like this.

If Yi Zhonghai had a braid, it would probably be so angry that it would stand up. His tone was full of complaints: "Old Yan, this is Zhuzi's own idea. It has nothing to do with me."

"My wife is a sickly person and needs medicine every day, which costs a lot. You have to pay me back as soon as possible. I need it."

"Uncle, no matter how urgent it is, there is no need to rush..."

"Zhu Zi, please shut up."

Sha Zhu then realized that Yi Zhonghai looked unhappy. He stopped talking and instead looked at Lin Donglai in confusion.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui complained again: "Lao Yi, I want to pay you back, but I just can't. Give me a year or two, and I will pay you back."

Lin Donglai's teeth itched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but say, "Third Uncle, your family received a lot of gifts yesterday, how come you have no money now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bugui rolled his eyes at him and said with a sad face, "Lao Yi, that money is our family's living expenses for this month, we dare not touch it."

Even he himself did not believe what he said. He looked at Yi Zhonghai with some panic and lowered his head in embarrassment.

The third aunt couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Old Yan, if it weren't for Old Yi and the others who saved our family today, what good would it be even if we had more money?"

Yan Bugui's pale face flushed after hearing this. He hardened his heart and took out ten yuan from his pocket: "Lao Yi, I'll pay you ten yuan first, and I'll pay you the rest later, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai thought that this sounded like a normal thing to say, so he agreed. After taking the money and putting it in his pocket, he was frightened by the look that Sha Zhu gave him.

It was full of contempt. As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had always been respected. When had he ever been looked at in such a way?

"Zhu Zi, what are you thinking about?" Yi Zhonghai asked angrily.

But Sha Zhu didn't even look at him, and just said to Yan Bugui on the bed: "Don't worry, Big Brother, I don't value money as much as some people do. I value people more."

Yan Bugui held Sha Zhu's hand gratefully and said, "Zhu Zi, you should be nice to Uncle San at the critical moment. Don't worry, I will definitely find you a partner when Uncle San gets better."

"Uncle, the doctor said you can be discharged from the hospital after the IV drip. Otherwise, tell me about your partner today?" Sha Zhu said with a grin.

The conversation between the two was surprisingly "understanding", and Lin Donglai couldn't help laughing...
