The Shazhu brother and sister looked at each other and followed him into the inner room.

They saw Yi Zhonghai take out a key, open a locked wooden box, turn over the clothes inside, and take out a wad of money and a piece of paper from the bottom of the box.

Yi Zhonghai handed it directly to Sha Zhu and said unhappily, "The total is 1208 yuan, 4 cents, you can count it yourself.

The accounts are also there. The national food coupons are recorded according to the value at that time and exchanged for money of the same value. You can ask Yu Shui to calculate it. There is not a penny less."

Seeing Sha Zhu taking the money and account in a daze, Yi Zhonghai turned the box over so that the brother and sister could see the inside clearly.

"Look for yourselves. This money has been kept separately and I haven't used a single cent of it. I've kept it that way for so many years. Is that enough to prove that I have no bad intentions?"

Yi Zhonghai looked frank, but he was actually quite hurt inside.

Although he knew that the matter could not be concealed forever and had already made a backup plan for himself, his family had lost money once and had suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Jia family twice, so he did not have much money left.

Sha Zhu counted the money and found that there was indeed that much money, so he completely believed it. After all, they came to him suddenly and Yi Zhonghai had no time to prepare in advance, which made him feel a little ashamed.

He Yushui took the record, calculated it, and found that everything matched.

She suddenly felt a little self-doubt, but she dismissed the idea in an instant. No matter what Yi Zhonghai's purpose was, she had indeed suffered so much that she should not have suffered.

"Who do you think you are, Yi Zhonghai? Why do you claim to have good intentions and make me suffer?"

He Yushui's years of accumulated grievances could not be resolved so easily. She continued to question:

"And what about those letters? Why did you withhold them? They were my father's concern for me, which is more important than money!"

Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed by He Yushui's repeated questioning today. He usually never took the other party seriously, but today he had to endure it and could only say lightly:

"Your father didn't write anything to express his concern for you. He has already started a family in Baoding and has no shortage of children to care for him.

I burned those letters. Your father escaped. Would I get myself into trouble if I kept them?"

He Yushui's eyes turned red: "You are lying, my father has already written to me and made it clear!"

Yi Zhonghai sneered and said, "Then you can ask He Daqing to come back for a confrontation, or you can show me the letter.

Zhuzi, please take good care of your sister. She has become stupid from studying so much. Can't she tell good from bad? Be careful or you will raise an ungrateful person!

Think about it yourself, if your father's fraudulent conduct of deceiving the government and falsifying ingredients is exposed, can you still be a chef in a steel mill comfortably?

I kept this a secret from you because you don't want to bother with your dad, but I'm also protecting you.

You just suffered a little when you were a child. Didn’t my family ever help you?

Yushui, you are holding on to me, your elder, because of a misunderstanding, but you have completely forgotten the kindness I have shown you. It is so chilling! "

A lady also chimed in, "Yes, Yushui, when your brother was learning cooking at Fengze Garden, he came back so late, but I was looking after you.

You are a scholar, so you should speak and act according to your conscience."

"you......"

He Yushui was so angry that she was shaking. She didn't expect Yi Zhonghai and his wife to say such shameless words.

Throwing a steamed bread to her after she's been hungry for a day is considered caring? If it's just a simple neighbor relationship, it's definitely a great favor, but the premise is that you're holding her living expenses.

But how could she, with the experience of a junior high school student, possibly win an argument with an old fox who claimed to be a moral gentleman? She was so angry that she was speechless for a moment.

Sha Zhu held his sister and advised: "Good rain, I believe the old man has good intentions.

Actually, it’s a good idea to save this money. No one will abandon their family and career. I have paid for your education and raised you up.

I thought about it carefully. Even if the old man gave me the money at that time, I would not use his money out of spite.

I don’t care what you think of him, but I’m not planning on recognizing him as my father yet.

I don't need this money either, I'll save it all for you to study, and use it all as your dowry when you get married."

He Yushui's resentment towards Yi Zhonghai had not disappeared at all, but she could not refute Sha Zhu's words.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. No matter whether Sha Zhu is a competent brother or not, she was raised by him after all.

He Yushui felt aggrieved and had no idea what to do. If he reported the case to the police, the issue of his background might have a great impact on his family as well.

The most important thing is that even Sha Zhu, the stupid teammate, was convinced, so this matter cannot be considered as misappropriation of other people’s property. If it is beautified, Yi Zhonghai is still helping others.

He Yushui could only wipe her tears and ran away unwillingly.

Yi Zhonghai raised his lips and taught in a sanctimonious manner: "Zhu Zi, you are really sensible now.

But my sister still needs to be taught well. It's so rude to run away without saying a word."

"Yes, yes, yes...I will definitely educate her well."

Sha Zhu had a silly smile on his face, completely forgetting the conflict just now, and begged with a flattering face: "Uncle, today's matter must be kept secret.

I’m finally getting transferred back to the kitchen, and if my family’s affairs get out, I’m afraid there will be more trouble.”

Yi Zhonghai looked very pleased and nodded, saying, "Need I tell you, I have always treated you as my own junior, how could I harm you?

Besides, there is no need for so much dowry for Yu Shui to get married, you should buy more belongings and marry a wife as soon as possible!"

Although Sha Zhu envied Qin Huairu, he had always dreamed of finding a better wife. Whenever Yi Zhonghai mentioned this, he would get very excited and would list a bunch of conditions.

But today he seemed a little bored and didn't say anything. It might be that the acupuncture given by Mr. Huang had left him with psychological trauma.

But the words "buy some belongings" made him think, so he said helplessly: "I do want to buy a bicycle. I have money, but I don't have the ticket."

Before, Xu Damao was the only one in the courtyard who had a carriage and horse, but they were public property after all, so there was no need to compare.

But now Cao Anping also has a bicycle, and Sha Zhu has been feeling unhappy for a long time since he saw two people who don't get along with him showing off in front of him every day.
