Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Yan Jiekuang asked thoughtfully, "Mom, the deaf old lady in the backyard has been staying at home all the time. Who is she?!"

The third aunt replied, "I don't know her specific identity. Anyway, she was already living here when our family moved in. The deaf old lady, the He family, and the Xu family in the backyard are all local households. The others are outsiders. I guess only He Daqing and Xu Wude know about the old lady's situation." Then the third aunt asked curiously, "Jie Kuang, why are you asking this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I've heard rumors that a deaf old lady gave shoes to the Red Army. And she was a martyr's relative. But I've never seen anyone visit her. So I'm asking out of curiosity."

The third aunt smiled and joked: "You are still young. You have so many thoughts. Be careful that you don't grow tall!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Mom, my dad's body shape determines that none of us can grow too tall. You don't have to worry about this."

"You kid!" The third aunt smiled and gave Yan Jiekuang a blank look, then went out with the bowl.

After more than ten minutes, He Yuzhu came back. As soon as He Yuzhu entered the middle courtyard, he saw the deaf old lady sitting at the door of his house. He Yuzhu walked up to her and asked with a smile: "Old lady, why don't you rest at home? What are you doing sitting here?!"

The deaf old lady asked, "Silly Zhu, what are you going to do with your uncle?!"

He Yuzhu had understood what was going on at this point, and said with a smile: "A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. Since he broke the law, he should be tried."

The deaf old lady suddenly became anxious and said, "Silly Zhu! Are you trying to drive your uncle and his family to death?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Old lady, I didn't mean to drive him to death. I wanted my brother and me to die! You should know what kind of life Yushui and I lived when He Daqing just passed away. Yi Zhonghai knew that He Daqing sent us living expenses, but he didn't give us the money. Fortunately, my brother and I were lucky enough to survive."

The deaf old lady continued, "Your uncle also helped you find your current job."

He Yuzhu sneered twice and said, "It would be fine if we didn't talk about work. Speaking of this work, I get angry! I just found out today. It turns out that my father had already arranged everything for me before he ran away with the White Widow. Yi Zhonghai made some moves with the head of the logistics department. I have only been at home for more than a year. I was still a temporary worker when I went in. If it weren't for my skills, I might still be doing odd jobs now!"

Everyone says Shazhu is stupid, but in fact, Shazhu is not stupid at all, he just doesn't want to use his brain. To put it bluntly, it's just one word: "lazy", and Shazhu can keep things in his mind. But when Shazhu gets stubborn, he is not lazy anymore. Today, He Yuzhu left the security department and returned to the kitchen. It happened that the canteen director came to inspect. The canteen director has a good relationship with He Yuzhu. When He Yuzhu handed him a cigarette and complained to him, the canteen director accidentally let it slip. Now He Yuzhu finally understood that it turned out that their family had fallen into this situation because of Yi Zhonghai's calculations. He still regarded Yi Zhonghai as a good person. Although He Yuzhu can use this incident to send Yi Zhonghai to jail, He Yuzhu's reputation will also plummet because of this incident. In a dilemma, He Yuzhu would go to Yan Jiekuang and ask Yan Jiekuang to help him with ideas.

The deaf old lady was stunned. She never thought that Yi Zhonghai would do so many things behind her back. The deaf old lady sighed and asked, "Zhu Zi, can't you let your uncle go for my sake?!"

He Yuzhu asked, "Old lady, my father ran away with the White Widow. Does it have anything to do with you?!"

When the deaf old lady heard what He Yuzhu said, she showed a horrified expression on her face. Seeing the reaction of the deaf old lady, He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Old lady, please go back! I can't make the decision on this matter alone. I have to listen to Yushui's opinion. After all, Dad doesn't belong to me alone."

"Okay!" The deaf old lady responded helplessly and said, "I'll go!" After that, the deaf old lady stood up and walked towards the backyard tremblingly.

After the deaf old lady left, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked into the house, put the lunch box on the table, and then threw himself on the bed. Not long after, He Yushui pushed the door open and walked in.

He Yuzhu glanced at He Yushui and asked, "Did you hear what I just said to the deaf old lady?!"

He Yushui nodded, walked to the bed and sat down, and asked: "Brother, Dad really didn't abandon us?!"

He Yuzhu was silent for a while, then said, "Yes. He didn't abandon us."

He Yushui threw herself into He Yuzhu's arms and cried unrestrainedly. After about ten minutes, He Yushui's crying stopped. He Yushui sat up straight, looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother, how are you going to deal with Yi Zhonghai?!"

He Yuzhu said: "I want to hear your opinion."

He Yushui thought for a moment and said, "Brother, I don't know what to do either. I want to hear your thoughts."

He Yuzhu said, "I'm in a dilemma too. We can use the fact that he swallowed the living expenses that He Daqing sent us to send him to jail. Now is a time of severe crackdowns, and the money he swallowed is enough for him to eat peanuts. Send him to jail and take back the money. What else can we do?!"

He Yushui thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, we can not send him in. But he must pay compensation. And we have to report his scandal to the street office."

He Yuzhu was slightly stunned after hearing what He Yushui said. He Yuzhu had never expected He Yushui to be so cruel. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that He Yushui's approach was not too excessive. He Yuzhu said, "Okay! I'll do as you say. I'll go to the factory security department tomorrow to resolve this matter."

But He Yuzhu didn't expect it. He hadn't gone to the street office to tell Yi Zhonghai yet. Liu Haizhong got there first. As soon as he got off work, Liu Haizhong rushed to the street office. As soon as Liu Haizhong arrived at the door of the street office, Wang Xia just came out. Liu Haizhong immediately stopped Wang Xia and told her about Yi Zhonghai. After listening to Liu Haizhong's narration, Wang Xia showed an incredible expression on her face. Wang Xia never thought that Yi Zhonghai, who was usually honest and decent, would do such a thing. But we can't just listen to Liu Haizhong's one-sided words. Wang Xia plans to go to the steel rolling mill early tomorrow morning to understand the situation and then decide on the punishment for Yi Zhonghai. Wang Xia exchanged a few words with Liu Haizhong. Wang Xia sent Liu Haizhong away.

While He Yuzhu was heating up the food and cooking, Liu Guiying walked into the deaf old lady's house with the food she had just prepared. The deaf old lady took a look at the food on the table, sighed softly, and said, "Guying, Shazhu is easy to deal with, but Yushui is a girl with a lot of thoughts. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fool her. You have to prepare for the worst."

Liu Guiying nodded silently and asked, "Old lady, is there really no way to make peace with this matter?!"

The deaf old lady replied, "I don't know either. I hope Sha Zhu and his sister can show some mercy." Then the deaf old lady muttered, "Zhong Hai did this so secretly. If no one reminded Sha Zhu, he wouldn't have found out at all. Who reminded him?!" Then the deaf old lady looked at Liu Guiying and asked, "Has Zhong Hai offended anyone recently?!"

Liu Guiying replied: "No!"

"That's strange!" The deaf old lady muttered, and thought to herself: "Is there someone who dislikes them?!" Anyway, all kinds of strange possibilities kept appearing in the deaf old lady's mind.
