Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

At this time, the people in the courtyard saw He Daqing and Sha Zhu bringing a few police officers back to the courtyard. The older residents who had lived here for more than ten years recognized He Daqing. Aunt Yan recognized He Daqing at first sight. She was so surprised that her mouth opened wide. She looked at He Daqing with disbelief and asked, "He Daqing? Are you He Daqing? Why are you back?"

When He Daqing saw Aunt Yan, he had heard from Sha Zhu and Yu Shui that although Yan Bugui's family liked to take advantage of others, and although they had never helped him and his siblings when they were in the most difficult time, they had never bullied them either, so they were polite to Aunt Yan.

So after a brief greeting, He Daqing took Director Zhao and the others straight to Yi Zhonghai's home in the Central Courtyard.

Aunt Yan was something of a loud speaker in the yard. When she saw He Daqing coming back with Sha Zhu and leading the police straight to Yi Zhonghai's house, although she didn't know what had happened, she guessed that there would be something exciting to watch.

So she immediately greeted the neighbors in the yard and told those neighbors who didn't know He Daqing but had just moved into the courtyard in recent years about He Daqing's identity. A group of people gathered at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle courtyard and began to watch the excitement outside the door.

When they heard He Daqing and Sha Zhu say that when He Daqing left, he left a sum of money with Yi Zhonghai and asked Yi Zhonghai to help take care of Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, and later he sent living expenses to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui every month, it turned out that all the money was embezzled by Yi Zhonghai, and not a penny was left for Sha Zhu and Yu Shui.

Moreover, this old bastard Yi Zhonghai not only withheld the money that He Daqing gave to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, he even withheld the letters that He Daqing wrote to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, and never passed them on to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui. So when the neighbors in the yard heard this, they immediately started cursing at each other.

Now Yi Zhonghai's reputation in the courtyard has long been rotten, who would respect him as the former uncle! Thinking about what Yi Zhonghai did to Shazhu, Yushui and Lin Geng later, and helping the Jia family to cheat them of their money, this immediately triggered the emotions of the residents in the courtyard.

Especially the old residents who have lived in this courtyard for more than ten years, they have witnessed with their own eyes the miserable six months that Sha Zhu and Yu Shui went through after He Daqing ran away with the widow. Now they are completely shocked, amazed at Yi Zhonghai's insidiousness and shamelessness, as well as his cruel behavior.

So some people, led by Aunt Yan, started cursing Yi Zhonghai on the spot.

"Yi Zhonghai, you bastard! You have a really evil heart! I never thought you could do such a cruel thing! Your conscience has really been eaten by a dog! We have never seen a bastard worse than you in this world!

Public Security Comrades, we demand that Yi Zhonghai be severely punished and that he be taken to target practice! This kind of beast is not worthy of being a human being!"

Yi Zhonghai listened to Sha Zhu's questioning, the angry curses of the neighbors in the yard, and their shouts for the police to severely punish him. He was so scared that a hot stream suddenly surged out of his body and flowed down his trouser legs to the ground. He was really scared to pee.

Yi Zhonghai burst into tears and shouted, "Lao He, Lao He, Zhuzi! I was wrong, I was wrong! I was indeed blinded by greed at the beginning, but I really didn't want to take the money!

I just wanted Zhu and Yushui to have a hard time, so I helped them, hoping that they would be grateful to me and provide for my retirement in the future! I kept all the money separately, and didn't touch a single cent!

I will return the money to you, please let me go! I was really wrong, please don't sue me! I will never dare to do it again! Woo woo..."

Yi Zhonghai was really scared to death. He sat on the ground and wet his pants. He cried like a 600-month-old baby and was shaking all over, like a sieve.

At this point, Director Zhao could also confirm that Yi Zhonghai had indeed embezzled the money that He Daqing left and sent to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui. He Daqing had kept a record of this money, and the post office stubs also showed the amounts. Over the past ten years, including the one million that He Daqing left for Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, and the money sent to them over the years, the total amount was more than one thousand four hundred yuan.

Such a large amount of money was already considered a huge sum in this era. They were also shocked at Yi Zhonghai's insidiousness and courage. He could do such a heartless thing. So when Sha Zhu knocked him down with one punch, Chief Zhao and the two police comrades he brought with him did not stop him.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had admitted it, they immediately went up and handcuffed Yi Zhonghai's hands. Director Zhao said coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, you said you saved all the money, so where is the money now? Take it out!"

Yi Zhonghai was shaking like a sieve. If the two policemen hadn't held him up with a look of disgust on their faces, his legs would have been so weak that he couldn't even stand up. He said tremblingly, "I'll take it right away, I'll take it right away! I'll return the money to Zhuzi now!"

As he said this, he pointed to a cabinet in his house and asked two policemen to move the cabinet away, revealing the wall behind it. With trembling hands, he dug a brick from the wall and took out a small tin box from it. After opening it, a box full of money was revealed, most of them were ten-yuan notes, a full box of big black ten-yuan notes.

At this time, Li Xiangyun, the former aunt, also heard the noise and came to see. When she heard that Yi Zhonghai had been hiding it from her for so many years and secretly withheld the money that He Daqing left for and sent to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, she was also shocked.

She didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai, who had lived with her for more than 20 years, could do such a heartless thing, and she knew nothing about it for all these years. Yi Zhonghai didn't even believe her and kept it secret from her.

Li Xiangyun was especially surprised when she saw the police move the cabinet away and find a tin box from the back wall.

She had no idea that there was such a place to hide money in the house where she had lived for such a long time. The fact that Yi Zhonghai had been hiding money here for the past ten years made her feel even colder in her heart.

"Zhu Zi, Lao He!" Li Xiangyun shouted to He Daqing and Sha Zhu with a grim face.

He Daqing turned his head and glanced at Li Xiangyun. He heard from Sha Zhu and Lin Geng that Li Xiangyun had divorced Yi Zhonghai and had never mentioned the fact that Yi Zhonghai had withheld the living expenses of Sha Zhu and Yu Shui.

So He Daqing looked at Li Xiangyun coldly and asked her, "What do you want me to do?"

Li Xiangyun saw He Daqing's suspicion of her, so she said with a face full of shame: "Old He, I want to tell you that Yi Zhonghai secretly intercepted the living expenses you sent to Zhuzi and Yushui. Yi Zhonghai has been hiding this from me, and I didn't know anything about it!

If you hadn't come back today and brought the police to arrest him, I would have no idea that he had done such a heinous thing!

Zhuzi, you have to believe me. I definitely didn't lie to you. I really didn't know he could do such a thing! If I knew, I would have told you a long time ago!"

As she spoke, Aunt Li burst into tears and started to sob.

Lin observed the changes in Li Xiangyun's expression more carefully. After careful observation, he was finally sure that Li Xiangyun really didn't know about the things Yi Zhonghai had done secretly. He sighed in his heart that Yi Zhonghai, this old guy, was really a fool. He didn't even trust his wife who had slept in the same bed with him for so many years, and he kept such things from Li Xiangyun.

So Lin Geng nodded to He Daqing, indicating that he thought Li Xiangyun was not lying, and that Yi Zhonghai had indeed done this secretly without telling Li Xiangyun, and Li Xiangyun was kept in the dark and only found out about it today.
