Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Last time, Lin Geng reported her for pretending to be a martyr's relative. Firstly, the police station and the street office did not want to make a big deal out of it, and secondly, they did not want to put her in jail because she was too old. In the end, they let her go and released her to the supervision of the manager of the courtyard, now Yan Bugui.

But if she is implicated in the matter of Yi Zhonghai secretly intercepting the living expenses that He Daqing sent to Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, then I am afraid that the police station and the street office will not be polite to her this time.

This is more than 1,400 yuan! It is a huge sum of money. Once the police determine that they want to embezzle this money, not only Yi Zhonghai may be taken to the shooting range, but she will also be taken to the shooting range as well.

The old deaf man was so frightened that his face turned pale. His eyes flickered and he dared not look He Daqing in the eye. He said quickly, "Daqing, please don't talk nonsense. When did Xiaoyi and I plot against you and trick you out of the city? Didn't you run away with that widow Xiaobai because you were attracted to her body? How can you put the blame on me?"

Besides, I didn't know that Xiao Yi had intercepted the money you sent to Zhuzi and Yushui. You can't wrongly accuse an old woman like me. I'm so old. If you wrongly accuse me, you will be struck by lightning!"

He Daqing stared at the old deaf man's face and sneered, "Old woman, you still want to deny it! Why do you think I came back this time? To tell you the truth, the White Widow has already told me everything about how you plotted against me!

You used the White Widow and my so-called leverage to scare me and trick me out of the city, forcing me to run for safety, for fear of implicating Shazhu and Yu Shui!

Now I have found out everything. What happened to me was not a big deal at all. I was forced by the traitors to cook a few meals for them in order to survive. I was not a traitor's lackey. The government will not hold me responsible at all. Don't even think about threatening me with this matter again!

You are the only one who knew that I cooked for the traitor at that time. You, old bitch, used this incident to plot against me together with Yi Zhonghai and the White Widow and forced me to leave the city. Then you can control my idiot Zhu and make him work like a slave for you in your old age!

If you were really good to Shazhu, I wouldn't mind letting him take care of you in your old age, but you treated my Zhuzi like a fool and until now I haven't been able to find a wife!

You old bitch are so vicious! You actually schemed against me and my Zhuzi! Now you dare to jump out and excuse Yi Zhonghai, the old bitch. Where do you get such a big face?

To tell you the truth, old lady, now that I, He Daqing, am back, you can forget about deceiving my Zhuzi again. This time old dog Yi must die. He has harmed our family so much, I will never let him go!

As for you, I don't think you will live for many days. I want to see how a vicious old woman like you dies!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw the deaf old lady come forward to persuade He Daqing to let him go this time, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. However, after hearing what He Daqing said, he knew that everything was over. The plan that he, the deaf old lady and the White Widow had planned to plot against He Daqing had been exposed. Now there was absolutely no way He Daqing would forgive him.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai fainted from fright on the spot and collapsed to the ground.

As for the deaf old lady, after being scolded by He Daqing, her vicious thoughts were completely exposed to the world. She was finished now. I'm afraid no one will pity her as an old lady in the future. Yi Zhonghai can't save her, and his life will definitely be more difficult in the future. I really can't imagine whether she will starve to death when she can't even cook one day.

The deaf old lady stammered, looking lonely as she leaned on a wooden stick and walked tremblingly towards the backyard step by step, her body becoming more hunched.

Director Zhao did not hold the deaf old lady responsible. After all, she was so old, and now that the vicious things she had done were exposed, the old lady was completely doomed in this courtyard. Her future life would definitely be very difficult. She might not live for a few more days after this incident.

In this case, he was unwilling to capture her and ask the country to take care of her, so he just let her fend for herself!

So Chief Zhao asked two of his police officers to carry the frightened Yi Zhonghai, put a seal on Yi's house, and then took Yi Zhonghai back to the police station.

With the arrest of Yi Zhonghai, Siheyuan finally calmed down. He Daqing returned to Siheyuan. With his good cooking skills, he soon found a job as a chef in a factory and settled down in Sijiu City again.

Not many days later, the verdict came down on Yi Zhonghai. Because the evidence was conclusive, Yi Zhonghai had no way to deny it. Although he insisted that he had no intention of embezzling the money that He Daqing sent to Sha Zhu and He Yushui, and only wanted to keep it for them and give it to them later, such an excuse seemed very pale and powerless.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai was sentenced to life imprisonment for repeatedly embezzling other people's property, and also for attempting to embezzle the 200 yuan consolation money given to Lin Geng by the factory.

Yi Zhonghai heard that he was sentenced to life imprisonment and might never be able to return to Beijing alive. Even if he had a chance to be released from prison, he had lost everything, not to mention his reputation. This was undoubtedly unacceptable to Yi Zhonghai, who had always valued his reputation. So, in despair, he sat in the detention center all night, and finally asked the guard for paper and pen, using the excuse that he wanted to write a confession and an apology letter to Sha Zhu.

Yi Zhonghai wrote a will. After nightfall, he tore his clothes into pieces, twisted them into a rope, and hanged himself from the window.

In his will, he left his current house and his last savings of more than one thousand yuan to Li Xiangyun. After all, the couple had lived together for more than 20 years, and Yi Zhonghai still felt quite guilty towards Li Xiangyun. So before he died, he finally made the decision to bequeath all his property to Li Xiangyun, which could be regarded as a little compensation to Li Xiangyun.

It was not until dawn that the guards discovered that Yi Zhonghai had hanged himself in his cell and also found his suicide note.

The police then reported the news of Yi Zhonghai's death back to the courtyard and handed Yi Zhonghai's suicide note to Li Xiangyun. They also unsealed Yi Zhonghai's house and handed it over to Li Xiangyun.

After hearing the news that Yi Zhonghai had hanged himself in prison and getting Yi Zhonghai's suicide note, Li Xiangyun sat there for a long time, finally covering her face with her hands and crying. She found a white cloth to cover it and went to ask Yan Bugui to organize several young people in the hospital to help her bring back Yi Zhonghai's body. She would be responsible for handling Yi Zhonghai's funeral.

After the news of Yi Zhonghai's death reached the courtyard, He Daqing, Sha Zhu, Lin Geng, Liu Haizhong and other people in the courtyard were a little surprised. They were silent for a while. He Daqing sighed, shook his head, and said to Sha Zhu: "Go, help your Aunt Li to bring Yi Zhonghai back and help her with the funeral!"

After hearing the news of Yi Zhonghai's death, Lin Gengze stood in the yard, looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "You were too clever and calculated, but it cost you your life!"

When Lin Geng saw Aunt Li asking Yan Bugui to help her find a few people to bring back Yi Zhonghai's body and hold his funeral, and when he saw Sha Zhu taking leave from He Daqing's orders to go with Aunt Li, Lin Geng also went with her.

Aunt Li bequeathed all her remaining property to Yi Zhonghai because he remembered their relationship before his death. She also handled Yi Zhonghai's funeral well and paid a hundred yuan to set up a few tables in the yard. The two chefs, He Daqing and Sha Zhu, father and son, did not ask for any money and helped prepare the banquets. They also found a piece of land for Yi Zhonghai to bury him. The funeral was quite grand.
