1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

He looked at He Yushui with a confused look on his face and asked, "Yushui, I really don't understand what you are talking about. What's the trick here?"

He Yushui snorted lightly and said with a firm look: "Brother, don't you understand this?

Uncle Yi Zhonghai doesn't have any children of his own, so he is trying to find a way out for himself.

Jia Dongxu had lost his father and was his apprentice. He felt that Jia Dongxu could take care of him in his old age, so he was wholeheartedly good to the Jia family.

He asked everyone in the hospital to donate to the Jia family. Isn't it just to be generous to others and want the Jia family to remember his kindness? "

After hearing what his sister said, He Yuzhu felt a buzzing in his head and everything went blank in an instant.

He slowly sat down on the stool, his eyes became dull, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

He recalled the eight years since his father He Daqing left the courtyard, when he and his sister had lived an extremely difficult life.

When he was unemployed, his family was extremely poor and they couldn't even get enough food to eat, Yi Zhonghai, as a prestigious uncle in the courtyard, not only did not organize the people in the courtyard to help them, but turned a blind eye to their plight.

Later, he finally got a job in the factory canteen and was able to earn some money to support his family. However, Yi Zhonghai always kept telling him about the difficulties of the Jia family and asked him to help them more.

Not only that, he also instigated him to bring lunch boxes back from the cafeteria to the Jia family.

At that time, I felt that we were all neighbors, so I helped if I could without thinking too much about it.

But now that I think about it carefully, the whole factory knew about the lunch box incident, but my family didn't even get to eat a single bite, and it all went to the Jia family.

This was undoubtedly Yi Zhonghai's biggest calculation against himself, which left him with a bad reputation in the factory.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai had not allowed him to interact with his master over the years, resulting in the brother and sister being isolated and helpless in the courtyard. They could only rely on Yi Zhonghai in everything and act according to his mood.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu suddenly realized, stood up abruptly, slapped his head hard, and shouted angrily: "Oh my God! This Yi Zhonghai is so insidious!

I always thought he was a warm-hearted, good-natured man, but it turns out he is a hypocritical man who has been plotting against me behind my back!"

He Yushui hurriedly walked to his brother, patted his shoulder gently, and said, "Brother, don't get angry and hurt yourself.

Now that we have seen his true face, we just need to be more careful in the future."

He Yuzhu put his hands on his hips and paced back and forth in the room, muttering non-stop: "This old man, I have respected him for so many years and treated his words as if they were imperial decrees.

He played me like a fool."

He Yushui continued, "Brother, think about it, every time there is a little disturbance in the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai is always the first to rush out and is particularly active.

He asked you to help because the children of the Jia family had no money to go to school and the life of the orphans and widows of the Jia family was not easy.

In fact, he just wants to tie you to the Jia family and make you serve his own purposes."

He Yuzhu stopped, his eyes flashing with anger, "Yushui, you are so right!

There was another time when the Jia family's child fell ill and was hospitalized. Yi Zhonghai not only asked me to pay for the medical expenses, but also asked me to carry the child on my back to see the doctor.

At the time, I thought he was doing it for the sake of neighborhood harmony, but now it seems that this was all his conspiracy!"

He Yushui sighed and said helplessly: "Brother, we have suffered so much loss and injustice over the years because we trusted him too much. We can't be so stupid in the future."

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, I won't let him succeed again.

All the efforts I have made over the years should be regarded as a lesson. I will make him pay for what he has done!"

The brother and sister talked to each other and sorted out the events of the past few years one by one.

Each incident made He Yuzhu more clearly aware of Yi Zhonghai's sinister intentions.

He Yuzhu sat on a stool, holding his head in his hands, looking depressed, and muttered to himself: "I always thought that the Siheyuan was a place full of warmth and humanity, where everyone helped and cared for each other.

I didn't expect that I would be used and schemed against by someone like Yi Zhonghai. I was so naive. "

He Yushui looked at his brother distressedly and comforted him, "Brother, don't be too sad. It's not too late to see his true face now. Let's live a good life in the future and no longer be at his mercy."

He Yuzhu suddenly raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "No, I can't just swallow this.

I must go to Yi Zhonghai to ask him about this and make him give me an explanation!"

He Yushui hurriedly grabbed him and said anxiously, "Brother, don't be impulsive. We don't have solid evidence now. If we go to him rashly, he will definitely not admit it.

He might even turn the tables and accuse us of framing him.

We have to think long and hard, collect evidence first, and then find a suitable opportunity to expose him."

He Yuzhu listened to his sister's words and felt that they made sense. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "Yushui, you are right. I was too impulsive. So what should we do next?"

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, “Brother, let’s pretend we know nothing and live our lives as usual.

But if he wants to take advantage of our family again, that won’t work!"

He Yuzhu nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say. I don't believe he can keep hiding forever. One day, I will let everyone in the hospital know his true identity."

As night fell, every household in the courtyard was discussing the matter of the Jia family's lost money under the lights.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong and his family sat together. He said angrily: "This Jia family is too outrageous. They have money in their hands, but they still ask us for help. Do they really think our money came from the wind?"

The second aunt also echoed: "That's right, we saved money to help them, but what happened? Jia Zhang actually had more than 500 yuan in her hands. What an ungrateful person!"

The third uncle Yan Bugui muttered, "This Jia family is really calculating. They even schemed against me!"

The third aunt echoed, "You said that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng are fat and white, why are we still helping their family? We are really blind. From now on, no matter what happens, we will not donate money to the Jia family anymore!"

"Mother, don't worry! It's not just our family that thinks this way, other families feel the same way..."

The other residents were also discussing this matter, and their disappointment with the Jia family reached its peak today.

Especially for those families who were already in financial difficulty and had to tighten their belts to make ends meet, they actually went to help the Jia family who had more than 500 yuan. It was really a joke!

Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi had just walked into the house, and Aunt Yi was about to talk to Yi Zhonghai about the Jia family.

She wanted to talk to Yi Zhonghai and felt that Jia Dongxu should not be considered as a candidate for retirement support. The Jia family was a big hole that her family could never fill.

But before she could open her mouth, she found someone following her in.

When they saw who was coming, their faces turned dark instantly.
