Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Yi Zhonghai covered his head, sighed and said, "Yes, I am Old Lady Tolong. Old Lady Long has someone in the post office. One day, that person came to our courtyard to deliver a letter, and I intercepted the letter. Then I gave the postman a little bribe, and deducted the living expenses of the brother and sister every month."

Bai Xiuying stared at her husband in a daze. She didn't expect that her husband would dare to do so many things. She said unhappily, "Zhong Hai, how dare you do such a thing? This kind of thing is very immoral. How old are we, brother and sister? You treat me like this..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Bai Xiuying would dare to accuse him. Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said, "Hey, Bai Xiuying. You are getting more and more powerful now. You dare to accuse me. Have you forgotten who rescued you from your gambler father? If I, Yi Zhonghai, hadn't rescued you, you would have been sold to Wanhua Tower and been ridiculed and scolded by thousands of people."

Yi Zhonghai's face was very gloomy, and he said with a trembling body, "Bai Xiuying, you haven't even laid an egg for me in all these years. If it were any other man, I would have divorced you long ago. Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for our retirement? If I don't ruin the relationship between Sha Zhu and He Daqing, will Sha Zhu provide for us in our old age when we are too old to walk?"

Seeing his wife so excited and hearing the words that made him so sad, Bai Xiuying cried under the quilt. Yi Zhonghai just glanced at her coldly. He didn't say anything. He sat on a stool beside him, covering his head and thinking about what to do.

His monthly salary was very high, and he didn't need the money He Daqing sent him every month. But now he had to make a difficult decision. He had withheld the living expenses through the talents in the post office. If he really gave the withheld living expenses to He Yuzhu now, he would definitely not believe him given his current temper.

If this matter gets out of hand, it will be out of his control. Yi Zhonghai thought he had to take a look first. It was just 300 yuan. He put 300 yuan in the hole of the willow tree this morning and waited by the side to see who was behind it. He also had to ask for advice from Mrs. Long. Although the old woman was quite old, she had many bad ideas.

Yi Zhonghai figured out what he wanted to do tomorrow. So he planned to lie down with his clothes on and sleep with his eyes closed. Looking at Bai Xiuying still crying, he snorted in his heart. If he hadn't gone to such places too many times when he was young and ruined his body, he wouldn't want such a yellow-faced woman.

He put on a kind smile again, and sighed with a sense of helplessness and grievance, saying, "Xiuying, some of the things I said just now were wrong. But we are husband and wife, and no matter what immoral things I do, it is for the good of both of us in the future. Think about it, if I didn't do this, would He Daqing let his son take care of him in his old age? Others can say that I am an unforgivable bad person, and I admit it, but you can't say that."

Bai Xiuying covered herself with the quilt and cried while listening to what Yi Zhonghai said. She felt even more wronged. She thought that her husband must have done such a thing because she couldn't have children. She looked at her husband with tears in her eyes, thought for a while and said, "Zhong Zhonghai, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that to you, but what should we do now?"

Yi Zhonghai smoked a cigarette and said, "It's just 300 yuan. At most, more than four months of work will be in vain. I will put the money there tomorrow. As long as we can shut the other party up, won't everything be fine?"

Bai Xiuying really didn't expect her husband to agree. She felt that if this happened for the first time, there would definitely be a second, third, or even countless times. After thinking for a while, she persuaded him, "Why don't we return the money? In this way, the mysterious man won't threaten us anymore."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Send the money back? You really put it too lightly. What do you think of the relationship between our family and Sha Zhu at home during this period? The relationship between our two families can be said to be very tense. If I really send the money back, Sha Zhu will definitely report me. Besides, if this matter becomes too big, Mrs. Long will also be involved. The old lady is our amulet, so let's spend some money to avoid disaster."

Bai Xiuying asked curiously, "Zhonghai, what is the identity of the old lady? I'm very curious, just tell me." Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "I've told you so many times, don't ask about the old lady's identity. How can a woman be so curious? Old lady Long, this old lady must be very powerful, otherwise I would care about the life of an old lady?"

Bai Xiuying thought about it and had nothing to say. No matter what the old lady Long's current status was, Bai Xiuying also understood that the couple must respect each other. Bai Xiuying suddenly said, "You said that this letter might have been written by that silly pig. Didn't the deaf old lady always say that this boy had changed? Maybe he knew the secret of the child support and wanted to extort money from us?"

Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly, frowning as he thought about the possibility of this matter. He also felt that what his wife Bai Xiuying said made sense, but he thought again that Sha Zhu used to be very reckless. If he really knew that he had withheld the living expenses of the two siblings, he should have come to him with a kitchen knife to fight him.

Although Sha Zhu has changed, he can still change his nature in a short time. Yi Zhonghai would never believe this. He scratched his head and said, "Didn't the old man say that it is difficult to change a person's nature. If Sha Zhu knew that we deducted the living expenses of his brother and sister, would he really be able to bear it and not fight me with a kitchen knife? I think it should be impossible, it should be impossible." After saying the last sentence, even Yi Zhonghai hesitated. The reason is that Sha Zhu has changed a lot during this period of time. If it weren't for his face not changing, Yi Zhonghai felt that someone might have replaced Sha Zhu.
