Hearing the strange voices in the crowd, the aunt was immediately speechless.
But she is a smart person, so how could she give in because of other people's remarks?
"You have a mouth, it's your business what you want to say! I'm just here to see Lao Yi, what are you doing?"
After saying this, the aunt turned to Han Zhizhi and said, "Han Zhizhi, please let me go! Otherwise, if something happens to my old bones, can you afford to take responsibility?"
It's okay if the aunt didn't say this, but Han Zhizhi, who was already unhappy, became even more angry when he heard this.
He said fiercely to the aunt: "Do you believe that I can throw you outside the hospital?"
The eldest mother was frightened and screamed: "How dare you? If something happens to me, you won't be able to recover!"
"Haha!" Han Zhizhi grinned, pretending to really throw her over the wall.
This scared everyone present.
Auntie is so old. If she is really thrown over the wall, her life may not be saved.
After reacting, some people were excited, feeling that the highlight was finally going to be today.
Li Weidong and his wife were worried, so they quickly stepped forward to pull Han Zhizhi and said, "Don't be impulsive. There are so many people here now. She can't run away. It's not worth losing yourself for her!"
After being persuaded by Li Weidong, Han Zhizhi finally stopped.
She released the aunt who had been held captive for a long time, but her action was not gentle at all.
The aunt didn't stand firm when she landed. After taking a few steps back, she sat down on the ground.
At the same time, the small cloth bag she was holding fell to the ground and scattered.
It contained a men's coat, yes, but there were also several rolls of coupons wrapped in the coat.
This sight immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The aunt's heart skipped a beat, and she stretched out her hand to pull it away.
But Qin Huairu's movements were faster than hers.
This woman knows that her opportunity to make a meritorious deed has come. The better she performs now, the more satisfied Li Weidong will be.
Naturally, the reward given to her will be indispensable.
"Auntie, what did you just say? You just gave me clothes? How do you explain these coupons? Let me see, tsk, there are hundreds of dollars here, right? I see how much I still need to bring.
Money? Are you sure you don’t want to run away?”
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the aunt, and she said sternly: "What do you know? A relative of my family, Lao Yi, is sick. This is what he asked me to do after delivering clothes to him before he left. Moreover, my family's Lao Yi
With a salary of hundreds of yuan a month and working for so many years, what’s the problem with saving this little money?”
Qin Huairu pinched her throat and shouted: "I didn't say there was a problem, you are just worried."
As Qin Huairu finished speaking, other people in the courtyard also echoed.
"That's right, they didn't say anything. What are you worried about?"
"Hey, is this really about embezzling the money from the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters?"
"Who knows? I think it would be better to ask the police comrades from the police station to come over and investigate!"
"..."
When it comes to adding insult to injury, the people in this courtyard are all top experts.
Even if the money is no problem originally, it will cause some problems in their eyes.
Without him, I would just look jealous!
Everyone is having such a difficult time, why can your family save so much money?
As long as they can cause you some trouble and make you uncomfortable, they think it is a good thing. It can be said that they have taken the concept of harming others and not benefiting themselves to the extreme.
It doesn't matter if there are only one or two, but most of the people in the courtyard are like this.
Li Weidong even doubted whether the neighborhood committee and the steel rolling mill arranged this intentionally. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
The result at the scene was that Auntie tried her best to cover it up, but the residents didn't want to hear it at all.
They only have one thing in mind, whether there is any problem with your money, just check it out.
Even if there is no problem, there is no loss to them.
If this money really embezzled the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters, it would be fun to watch.
Look, now some people even take the initiative to call the police comrades.
After Qin Huairu successfully aroused the emotions of the residents, she quietly retreated.
She has done what she promised Li Weidong, and the next step is to let things ferment naturally.
Naturally, the aunt couldn't run away when public sentiment was raging.
And there really was a little clever guy who ran to the street police station and called the police comrades.
In the end, the aunt was taken back for questioning by the police comrades in front of everyone.
No one knows the specific process, but the brother and sister He Yuzhu were all smiles when they came back that night.
The performance of the two directly gave everyone the answer.
Someone with good intentions ran to ask He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu didn't want to say anything at first.
But He Yuyu happened to be nearby, and she didn't want to save any face for Yi Zhonghai.
Tell everything exactly.
After Yi Zhonghai was taken back to the police station, Yi Zhonghai was immediately confused after knowing what she had done.
Then there was a scene of two people biting dogs.
Originally, there was still a need to collect evidence, but the two of them got into a fight and everything exploded.
It was immediately confirmed that Yi Zhonghai embezzled money from He Yuzhu's brother and sister.
In the end, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to use the money to compensate the He Yuzhu brothers and sisters, and He Yuzhu also stated that he would no longer hold Yi Zhonghai responsible.
The comrades at the police station considered that Yi Zhonghai was old and was still an eighth-level fitter. Now that the perpetrators were not held accountable, they continued to pursue his legal responsibility. They just said that they would report the matter to the steel rolling mill.
After listening to He Yuyu's story, someone in the crowd suddenly said: "How can he be the master of our courtyard with someone like him?"
"That's right, Yi Zhonghai has gone too far. Who can trust him?"
"No, I think we should tell the neighborhood committee that someone else should be the boss."
Yi Zhonghai heard these words just after he came back from outside, and his face suddenly turned dark.
Although he had expected this to happen early on, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
They say the tea becomes cold when a person leaves, but before he left, the tea was already cold.
Yi Zhonghai felt that after being a great man for so many years, even if he had no merit, he still had to work hard.
But these residents obviously didn't think so.
Seeing that the residents wanted to force him to step down, Yi Zhonghai felt a little chilled. He thought he had done his best for the residents in the compound, how could he end up like this?
But it was useless for him to feel cold. The residents always liked to beat up drowned dogs, but they did not care about Yi Zhonghai's feelings.
I don’t know who warned him, but when everyone present saw Yi Zhonghai with a dark face, they immediately didn’t dare to say anything anymore.
It doesn't matter if you gossip behind your back, but they don't have the guts to say it in person.
He Yuzhu also saw Yi Zhonghai. Just when he was about to step forward and say something, He Yuzhu and Han Zhizhi took action together and pulled him into the house.
Now that the money has been taken back, it's time for Yi Zhonghai to taste the bitter consequences of his own actions.
Reputation is more important than life these days.
Not to mention the position of First Master, Yi Zhonghai will probably find himself in a difficult situation in the future, whether in the courtyard house or the steel rolling mill.
The real owners had left, and the remaining residents naturally dispersed in droves.
In the end, only Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were left standing in the courtyard.
Since all the money was lost to He Yuzhu, Aunt Ma naturally had no choice but to follow Yi Zhonghai back.
Now that Yi Zhonghai was showing off to her, she could only accept it because she had no financial resources of her own.
Moreover, she almost broke up with Yi Zhonghai before, and now she is trying to find a way to make amends.
Seeing the sad look on Yi Zhonghai's face, the eldest mother knew that he was probably worried about the position of the eldest brother.
She rolled her eyes and suddenly came up with an idea.
He leaned into Yi Zhonghai's ear and whispered: "Old Yi, are you worried about the position of the first master?"
Yi Zhonghai glanced at her sideways but said nothing, the meaning was self-evident.
The aunt knew that she had guessed correctly, and was not angry. She continued: "It is impossible for you to keep this position, but you can push someone who you can control to come up! If not, you can also bring a stick to come up.
, as long as the water in this courtyard is muddied, then it will be whatever happens in the future?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his heart moved, and he felt that what Auntie said was quite reasonable.
But who should be promoted to the top is a question.
Half of the people who gathered here just now were trying to make trouble for him, and it was absolutely impossible for Yi Zhonghai to choose among these people.
If you want to muddy the water, you can control it yourself.
A personal choice suddenly popped up in Yi Zhonghai's mind - Qin Huairu!
Qin Huairu is his apprentice. These days, the master is almost like his father.
Besides, Yi Zhonghai knew very well that Qin Huairu was a mother if she had breasts, and she was the one he was talking about.
As long as the benefits given are enough, Qin Huairu will definitely not mind being biased, and then he can control the results.
Thinking of this, when Yi Zhonghai looked at Aunt Ma again, he was finally not so cold.
"Go prepare some food, I'm hungry!"
The eldest mother responded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go right away!"
As long as Yi Zhonghai is still willing to pay attention to her, she can stay in this family and doesn't have to worry about staying or leaving for the time being.
*******
At night, Qin Huairu changed the gauze on Banggan's wound, washed her hands, and prepared to go back to the kang and lie down.
At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from outside.
Qin Huairu frowned when she heard this. This voice was Yi Zhonghai's code for delivering food to her before.
But the two of them had been disconnected for so long, why did they suddenly come back?
Is it because of what happened today?
After Qin Huairu thought for a while, she put on her coat and walked out of the house.
She wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Yi Zhonghai's gourd.
My life is pretty good at the moment, but I can't let him mess with it.
Arriving in the yard, Qin Huairu looked around for a while and soon spotted Yi Zhonghai's figure.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai was hunched over with his hands in his sleeves, like an old dog.
After seeing Qin Huairu coming over, he immediately smiled.
"You're finally here."
Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai, raised her eyebrows and said, "Is something wrong?"
Yi Zhonghai chuckled and said: "You must also know my current situation. I can't sit firmly in the position of First Master, so I want to ask, are you interested in taking the position?"
Qin Huairu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine? How could you have thought of letting me become a master?"
Yi Zhonghai shrugged and said: "Instead of taking advantage of others, it's better to take advantage of you. At least you are here, and we can still discuss anything."
Qin Huairu sneered in her heart, she finally understood what Yi Zhonghai had in mind.
This is just to make her a puppet.
"I don't think that a position like a steward is thankless and useless. Whoever wants to do it can do it!"
Yi Zhonghai had been prepared for a long time, knowing that Qin Huairu would not agree easily.
He took out a ring of tickets from his pocket and said: "As long as you agree, these are yours. In addition, you don't have to worry about the election. I will find a way to do it well."
Qin Huairu looked at the roll of notes and was a little moved, but she didn't dare to make a rash decision.
She is now Li Weidong's, so she must ask him first.
Otherwise, what if Yi Zhonghai asks her to attack Li Weidong?
So she looked very excited but also a little worried, and said, "I have to think about this first."
Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "There's no rush, there's still time, you can think about it slowly."
Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Go ahead."
Yi Zhonghai watched Qin Huairu return to the house with a smile, and then turned back to the backyard.
She would never have thought that Qin Huairu would turn around and tell Li Weidong about this.
"Choose, why not choose?!"
Li Weidong gave Qin Huairu a positive reply.
He was worried about how to let Qin Huairu participate in the election of the first master. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to find Qin Huairu. This was a good thing!
Qin Huairu was a little happy and a little confused when she heard Li Weidong's response.
I am happy that I can get benefits from Yi Zhonghai, but I am confused about what Li Weidong is planning.
The relationship between the two made her directly ask the questions in her heart.
Li Weidong also gave her an answer carefully.
"As long as he is in power, who will know who Yi Zhonghai is? And even if it is revealed that he was operating behind the scenes, it will be Yi Zhonghai who takes the blame, and you will just passively bear it."
Qin Huairu was happy when she heard this, rolled her eyes and said: "I can be a great master, but I have to ask you for some rewards!"
"Hmm? What reward do you want?" Li Weidong asked.
Qin Huairu licked her lips and said with a charming face: "You understand!"
As a result, Li Weidong rewarded Qin Huairu twice.
If the woman hadn't cried and said enough was enough in the end, Li Weidong could have continued.
After coming out of the cellar, Qin Huairu's feet were weak and she returned home holding on to the wall.
Qin Jingru, who was cooking, knew what was going on when she saw her like this, and couldn't help but feel a little bit disgusted.
When cooking, she accidentally added more salt, which made Qin Huairu scold her and asked her if she didn't need to spend money to buy salt.
Qin Jingru didn't speak, but looked straight at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu soon understood that this stupid sister was probably jealous that she went to find Li Weidong privately.
When the children were not paying attention, she whispered a few words into Qin Jingru's ear. After hearing this, Qin Jingru immediately beamed with joy.
After finishing the meal, she consciously washed the bowl, and then went out humming a little tune.
Seeing this, Xiaodang asked curiously: "Mom, what is aunt doing?"
Qin Huairu snorted and said: "Whatever, hurry up and do your homework. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish your homework today!"
Xiaodang curled his lips, lowered his head depressedly and continued writing his homework.
Both the Jia family and the Qin family have bad academic genes inherited from their ancestors, and have no talent at all in learning.
Qin Huairu only supervises her children's homework because they don't want to be nagged by the teacher.
Otherwise, it doesn't matter whether she does these homework or not according to her ideas.
As for the stick.
This guy is currently making blind gestures in the courtyard with a bamboo stick.
Qin Huairu had no intention of taking care of him, just thinking that when he was older, she would arrange for him to join her shift in the steel rolling mill.
