Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Hey, I'll go right away."

An anxious lady in the crowd heard this, quickly agreed, and went back to the house to get the money.

Not long after, an old lady came out with an iron box and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai opened the box and said to He Yushui, "Yushui, this is all the money your father sent you. It's been a little over eight years. I'll round it up to a thousand for you!"

As he spoke, he took out a few big black tens from his pocket, put them into the iron box, and handed it to He Yushui.

When I saw so much money in the crowd, I immediately became jealous.

They are all ordinary working-class families. It is already impressive if they can save a hundred yuan in a year. Where have they ever seen so much money?

In the entire hospital, apart from Cao Liang, only Yi Zhonghai could come up with so much money at once.

Oh no, there is also a Jia family, and the Jia family can also take it out.

But all the Jia family’s money was hidden by Jia Zhang.

Look, Jia Zhang in the crowd was stunned when she saw so much money.

If she hadn't seen Director Wang and the police there, she would have rushed forward to grab it.

He Yushui took the money, looked inside, then frowned and asked, "Where's the letter my father wrote to us?"

For He Yushui, the money must be got back.

But she also valued the letters He Daqing sent her.

She wanted to see what He Daqing had written.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face froze. He didn't expect He Yushui to suddenly ask this.

If it were someone else, wouldn’t they usually forget about everything else once they got the money?

He could only make up a story: "It's been so long, I've forgotten where I put it. I'll look for it for you later, but your dad only wrote to you once a year, and there have been no more letters since then."

He Yushui looked at him expressionlessly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Let me ask you, if you never get a reply, will people continue to write?

He Daqing would only think that Sha Zhu's siblings were still blaming him for running away and just didn't want to reply.

But as a father, he definitely has to take care of He Yushui.

At this point, things were very clear.

Although Yi Zhonghai tried his best to deny it, any discerning person could see that it was Yi Zhonghai who embezzled the child support.

But how to deal with it in the end depends on the victims.

So, after Director Wang discussed with the two police officers, Director Wang asked He Yushui: "He Yushui, do you want to continue investigating this matter? What do you think?"

After all, this area is under her management, and she would not look good if bad elements appeared in the area under her management.

Yi Zhonghai's expression changed.

The aunt was also very nervous.

He Yushui asked curiously, "Director Wang, what will happen if I pursue this?"

Public Security Sun replied: "Since the amount of money involved in this incident is quite large, the offender will most likely have to undergo long-term or indefinite labor reform."

puff~

When the aunt heard this, her legs softened and she begged, "Yushui, for the sake of how I treat you, please forgive Lao Yi this time!"

Of course she knew why Yi Zhonghai did this.

It was definitely not for money at the beginning, but to make Sha Zhu his backup plan for retirement.

But all this is because she can't have children.

Otherwise Yi Zhonghai would not have done such a thing.

Yi Zhonghai was also very panicked.

At his current age, even if he is locked up for ten years, he will be old when he comes out, and he may not be able to come out.

Even if I get out, my reputation will be ruined and I will definitely not be able to find a job. It will be more painful than death.

He quickly persuaded her, "Yushui, I really don't have any other intentions, otherwise I wouldn't have kept the money."

After that, he turned to Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, how does the uncle treat you? Do you really want to see the uncle arrested? Your aunt is in poor health, so you have the heart to leave her without anyone to take care of her?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he also softened his heart.

Although he didn't know exactly what Yi Zhonghai had done to help him, he still said, "Yushui, now that the money has been recovered, let's forget about it! If it weren't for the help of Uncle and Auntie after that guy ran away, we wouldn't be alive today."

He Yushui was originally planning to let it go, but when she heard what Sha Zhu said, she immediately said angrily: "If he had given us the child support that my father gave me, would we have lived such a hard life?"

Sha Zhu said awkwardly: "But you don't have to let an old man go to jail. After all, you don't lose anything."

Ah!

He Yuyu sneered.

No loss?

He made me lose my father's love.

For so many years, she always thought that He Daqing didn't want her anymore.

But who knew that all this was caused by Yi Zhonghai.

Pfft!

Seeing He Yushui's expression, Auntie guessed that she might not be willing to give in, so she knelt in front of her and begged, "Yushui, please spare Lao Yi. Auntie kneels down for you."

Seeing this, He Yushui's anger subsided.

She stepped forward and helped the lady up. "You don't have to do this. I just wanted to take back what belongs to me."

As for going to the street office, that was Cao Liang's idea.

She also thought that Cao Liang asked her to do this because he was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would not admit it.

But she didn't think it would really come to that Yi Zhonghai would be arrested and put in jail.

It’s okay for Yi Zhonghai, but a lady like her is still okay.

Director Wang asked, "He Yushui, are you sure you don't want to pursue this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at He Yushui, especially Yi Zhonghai, who was extremely nervous.

"determine."

He Yushui nodded.

Director Wang nodded to the two public security comrades.

The two police officers left.

Since the victim does not pursue the matter, and Yi Zhonghai insists that he is only keeping the money for safekeeping, they are no longer needed.

Seeing the police leave, Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Director Wang said to Yi Zhonghai, "Yi Zhonghai, although He Yushui does not intend to pursue the matter, the Street Office will definitely punish you. Also, I will report this matter to the steel mill. Do you accept it?"

"It's my duty." Yi Zhonghai nodded resignedly.

From the moment Director Wang and the public security comrades came together, he knew that things would not be that simple.

But fortunately, I didn’t get caught, which is pretty good.

As for the penalties imposed by the street office and the factory?

As for the street office, the most they could do is revoke his status as the person in charge.

If it were a steel rolling mill, he might be given a serious warning, but he probably wouldn't be fired. After all, he is an eighth-level worker.

Although his reputation was gone, at least he managed to save himself.

He regrets it very much now, regretting why he intercepted the money in the first place.

But it's too late to say this now.

As expected, Director Wang said, "The punishment from our subdistrict office is that starting from today, your status as the manager will be revoked, and you will no longer be eligible for election. You will have to clean the courtyard and the streets outside for a month, and you will have to go to the subdistrict office to study after get off work in the afternoon. Do you accept it?"

"...I accept."
