Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Let's talk about the hospital now. Not long after the police finished taking Yi Zhonghai's statement, a middle-aged woman arrived with the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady slowly pushed open the door and saw Yi Zhonghai lying on the hospital bed. He had a bandage on his head, his face was covered with bruises, and his hands were covered with thick bandages.

Looking at the scene in front of her, the deaf old lady felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.

Over the years, Yi Zhonghai has been taking care of her wholeheartedly, and even a heartless person would be moved by this friendship.

More importantly, they are close-knit allies with tacit cooperation.

Although Yi Zhonghai is usually stubborn, arrogant and conceited, he always remains humble and polite in front of the deaf old lady.

Regardless of whether this politeness is just a superficial phenomenon, the fact that it can be maintained for more than ten years is enough to move people.

So, when the deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai's current miserable condition, she could no longer suppress her inner grief, and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that the deaf old lady cared so much about him, he must have been filled with emotion.

He endured the pain in his body and comforted her: "Don't worry, old lady, I'm much better now, please sit down and have a rest."

In fact, the deaf old lady felt very upset last night after learning that Yi Zhonghai was beaten and sent to the hospital.

She wanted to go to the hospital to visit Yi Zhonghai immediately, but when an old lady came back and told her that Yi Zhonghai's operation would require a large sum of money, the deaf old lady hesitated for a moment and finally decided to stay in the courtyard. She felt that she should help Yi Zhonghai raise the money for the operation first.

If it was in the past, not to mention so far ago, even a week ago, even if Yi Zhonghai had a terminal illness, as long as there was hope of cure, the deaf old lady would have taken out the money without hesitation.

But the situation is different now. The deaf old lady's home is just an empty shell, only slightly better than Yi Zhonghai's home.

Therefore, the deaf old lady could only helplessly ask Liu Haizhong for help. After all, he was the boss in charge, and if something happened to Yi Zhonghai, he had the responsibility and obligation to deal with it.

The deaf old lady found Liu Haizhong and hoped that he could organize a donation activity for Yi Zhonghai. However, Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi rejected the deaf old lady's request on the grounds that it was not in line with the rules.

The deaf old lady did feel very disappointed and helpless at that time. After all, a year ago, she was still the ancestor of the courtyard house who had the final say and was respected by everyone. But in just one year, even a junior like Liu Guangqi dared not to give her face.

However, the deaf old lady is not an ordinary person, and her mental state is not that fragile, so she did not intend to give up, but was thinking of other ways to raise medical expenses for Yi Zhonghai.

To her, Yi Zhonghai was everything to her. Without Yi Zhonghai, her life would be extremely miserable. She could not bear to see Yi Zhonghai not getting treatment because he had no money.

The deaf old lady was determined to do everything she could to raise money to save Yi Zhonghai. So, she planned to go to the street office early this morning to ask Director Wang for help. She believed that Director Wang and the street office would not sit idly by.

But before she could leave the house, an old lady took her to the hospital.

After the deaf old lady sat down, the old lady went out with the thermos to get some water.

Yi Zhonghai learned from an old lady in the morning what happened in the yard last night. He was very moved by the deaf old lady's behavior, especially when she cried for him just now, which made Yi Zhonghai feel the long-lost family affection.

"Old lady, my condition is not bad, you don't have to worry. And you don't have to worry about my surgery fees, medical expenses, and even my living expenses for a long time. Someone has already paid for it."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she thought about it for a moment and understood what Yi Zhonghai meant.

"Zhong Hai, who are you? Do you know who did this to you?"

"Yes, old lady, it was Liu Haizhong who did the dirty work to me. When he put the sack on me yesterday, I don't know if it was because he was nervous or I was lucky, the sack didn't completely cover my head, and I clearly saw Liu Haizhong's attack on me.

It’s a pity that I was shocked by this scene at that time and didn’t have time to fight back, so Liu Haizhong attacked me first and beat me like this. Otherwise, with my and his strength, even if I was put in a sack, I would not be beaten so badly.

At that time, I just thought that Liu Haizhong just wanted to beat me up to vent his anger, but I never expected that he actually took a brick from behind and hit my hand with it. I fainted from the pain.

I don't know how many times he hit me afterwards, but I already felt something was wrong with my hands, there was only constant severe pain, and he even wanted to cripple me in the end.

Old lady, what deep hatred do I have with him that would make him do such a cruel thing to me? "

The deaf old lady was also very shocked after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. In her heart, the biggest suspect was Zhou Jin. After all, in the entire courtyard, except Zhou Jin, no one else had any hatred towards Yi Zhonghai.

But now Yi Zhonghai saw with his own eyes that it was Liu Haizhong who did it, and his action was extremely vicious. He was determined to destroy Yi Zhonghai.

“Zhong Hai, are you sure it’s Liu Haizhong?”

"Madam, I am 100% sure. The salary I received in advance from the factory and the money I borrowed from my co-workers were all taken away by him. The police have just left to search his house.

As long as we find this money, he won't be able to escape. Since he dared to attack me, I will follow him in and compensate Jia Zhang."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's affirmative words, the deaf old lady also believed it. No wonder he refused to help her when she asked him for help yesterday. It turned out that he was the one behind it.

"Zhong Hai, you just said that your future medical expenses and surgery fees should be paid by the Liu family."

The deaf old lady glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Hehe, old lady, you are the one who gets it right. Liu Haizhong will definitely not get away with it this time. If it weren't for my letter of forgiveness, I don't know how many years he would have been sentenced to.

But I know that Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi are definitely not willing to let Liu Haizhong go to jail, so they will definitely come to me for a letter of apology, and then the price will be decided by us.

After all, as long as I issue a letter of apology, Liu Haizhong will be released soon. At most he will be detained for a week for education. Not only will he not have to go to jail, but he will also be able to keep his job.

This is such a good deal, I believe Liu Guangqi knows what to do. After all, I am not a fool. If I am not satisfied with the price, I will not be so stupid as to write him a letter of apology."

"That's right, Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong's salary is not much different from yours. Even if his burden is heavier, he should still have a lot of assets after so many years. I believe Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi will make the right choice.

After all, if you lose money, you can earn it again. Liu Haizhong is now a seventh-level worker and can earn it back in a few years. But if you lose your job because of this, what will you do in the future?" The deaf old lady agreed.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai also nodded: "Well, I believe Liu Guangqi and the second aunt will not joke about Liu Haizhong's future and the future of their family. They know the priorities and must understand how to solve the problem."

"Zhong Hai, how much money are you going to ask Liu Guangqi and the others for?"

"Madam, I just calculated that Liu Haizhong's family should have a deposit of 1,500 to 6,000 yuan. I don't want more. I'll just let them take 2,000 yuan. I believe they can still make up the difference if they think of a way."

"Yes, that's right. Liu Guangqi is also working in the steel mill now. He earns more than fifty yuan a month, which is not low. It's no problem to borrow from anyone and get two thousand yuan. Even for this, I think it's a bargain for them."

"Old lady, I know this is indeed a bargain for them, but I have no choice. The doctor came this morning and asked me when I could get enough money for the operation.

He also said that the sooner I had surgery on my injuries, the easier it would be to recover. Otherwise, if I waited too long, even if the surgery was successful, my hands might be useless.

I'm in urgent need of money now. Otherwise, if Liu Haizhong dared to do such a heavy hand to me, I would have to ask him for at least 5,000 yuan, but time does not allow it now."

"Well, you're right. If they borrow some money from everywhere, they can get the money together in no time. But if it's really 5,000 yuan, they probably can't even raise it even if they sell their house.

Money is secondary. If your treatment is delayed, it will not be worth it. As for Liu Haizhong, we will deal with him slowly in the future. Since he dared to take action, don't expect to have a good life anymore."

"Yes, when I recover, I will let Liu Haizhong know the consequences of offending me, Yi Zhonghai. It will be easy to deal with a fool like him."

At this time, an old lady came back after getting some hot water. Yi Zhonghai had almost finished talking about the deaf old lady, so he started to talk about other family matters.

At the same time, the steel mill was in an uproar, and everyone was discussing the incident of Yi Zhonghai being put in a sack and beaten into the hospital.

Originally, only the person in Siheyuan and the person next door who helped call the police knew that Yi Zhonghai was beaten yesterday. But how could these big mouths keep such a big gossip secret?

Also here is the biggest gossip boss in the courtyard - Xu Damao.

He was originally from the Propaganda Department. Early this morning, he began to shuttle between several famous gossip groups in the steel mill, exaggerating the story of Yi Zhonghai being put in a sack.

"Hey! Have you heard? Yi Zhonghai, a rich man from the courtyard, was put in a sack and beaten!" Xu Damao said mysteriously.

"Is this true? Who dares to beat Yi Zhonghai?" someone asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true! I saw with my own eyes that old man was carried into the hospital!" Xu Damao said proudly.

"Oh my, this is so exciting! Who did this?" people asked curiously.

In this era, there are not many entertainment activities. Even watching a movie is not something you can do whenever you want. Therefore, gossiping has become the first choice for most people to pass the time.

And this time it wasn't just Xu Damao who was spreading the news. Except for Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu, everyone else in the courtyard was telling their coworkers about it.

In just one morning, everyone in the steel rolling mill knew that Yi Zhonghai was put in a sack and beaten into the hospital yesterday.

It can be heard from what everyone said that Yi Zhonghai was not very popular in the steel rolling mill, especially those who knew him a little. After hearing about this incident, they basically said that Yi Zhonghai had done too many bad things and was being retaliated against.

Few people sympathize with Yi Zhonghai. As for those who don’t understand Yi Zhonghai, they just act as loyal listeners.

I thought the matter was about over here. After all, it was not uncommon to be put in a sack in this era.

But Liu Haizhong was taken away by the police in the morning, and no one speculated too much about it. Everyone knew that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong lived in the same courtyard, and both of them were the bosses in charge.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is in trouble, it is reasonable for the police to ask Liu Haizhong to assist in the investigation.

But things often happen to be so coincidental. One of the people in the courtyard happened to have something to do at home, so he asked the workshop director for an hour's leave. When he returned to the courtyard, he happened to see the police coming to Liu Haizhong's house to search.

Although Second Aunt gave an explanation, everyone had to believe it. It was obvious that this person just didn't believe Second Aunt's explanation. After he dealt with the affairs at home, he returned to the steel mill and told everyone about the matter.

At this point, everyone felt something was different. It seemed that there were many unknown inside stories.

When Xu Damao learned the news, the scene immediately emerged in his mind of Liu Haizhong being put in Yi Zhonghai's sack, then being discovered, and now being taken away by the police for investigation.

Now that he had thought of it, he couldn't waste his brain cells in vain, so Xu Damao started to act again.

Everyone had originally speculated about the search of Liu Haizhong's home, and now, Xu Damao's speculation perfectly explained all the problems.
