Just when the third uncle was about to tell the residents, Yi Zhonghai felt a little strange when he saw the third uncle sneaking around. He came over and looked at the third uncle and asked: "Third uncle, what happened?"
The third uncle's eyes flickered and he hesitated, "It's nothing, I just have a little something to deal with."
Yi Zhonghai frowned and said in disbelief: "Third uncle, you don't seem to be okay. What's going on? Tell me."
The third uncle waved his hands repeatedly: "It's really nothing, Yi Zhonghai, just don't ask."
However, Yi Zhonghai was reluctant and blocked the third uncle's way: "Third uncle, you must be hiding something from me. We are all from the same compound, what can't we say? If you don't tell me, I won't let you.
You're gone."
The third uncle was helpless, wondering whether he should tell Yi Zhonghai or not.
He knew that Yi Zhonghai had a good relationship with Jia Zhang. If he told her, would Yi Zhonghai help Jia Zhang cover it up? But if Yi Zhonghai pressed this, he couldn't keep it a secret.
After hesitating for a moment, the third uncle gritted his teeth and said: "Yi Zhonghai, since you insist on asking, I will tell you.
But don't tell others that I said it.
I just saw Mrs. Jia Zhang and an old man named Chen in an abandoned hut not far from the courtyard. It looked like they were having a tryst."
Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart, how could Jia Zhang be so careless and be discovered? Now he had to find a way to stop the third uncle and Sha Zhu from catching Jia Zhang.
Yi Zhonghai quickly adjusted his mood, put a smile on his face and said to the third uncle: "Third uncle, don't be anxious. There may be some misunderstanding about this matter. Think about it, Jia Zhang is not that kind of person normally.
We can't assume there's something wrong just by seeing them in the same room. Maybe they're just talking about something."
The third uncle looked at Yi Zhonghai suspiciously and said: "Yi Zhonghai, I think this matter is not as simple as you said. They don't look like they are talking about serious matters. Even the fool has seen it, how can it be false?"
Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said: "That boy Silly Zhu is sometimes unreliable. Maybe he has seen it wrong. We can't just let the wind be the rain. Let's do this, Third Master, don't tell other people first.
Wait until I verify the situation. If there is really a problem, it won’t be too late for us to discuss how to deal with it.”
When Si Zhu heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied. He felt that Yi Zhonghai was covering up for Jia Zhang.
Silly Zhu frowned, took a step forward, and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, you are not right. You still protect Jia Zhang after she did such a thing? You can't do it just because you have something to do with her.
Just favor her. If this matter is not dealt with, there will be chaos in the compound in the future."
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he said: "Silly Zhu, don't talk nonsense. I'm not being biased, I just think you can't draw conclusions easily until the matter is clear. What if Jia Zhang is wrongly accused? Besides, even if it's true,
If something happens, we have to discuss how to deal with it, we can't be so reckless."
Silly Zhu snorted and said: "Master, please stop making excuses. I think you just don't want Jia Zhang to be caught. Don't forget that Jia Zhang always gives me a lot of stumbling blocks.
I finally caught her this time, and I won't let her go easily."
Yi Zhonghai was a little angry and said: "Silly Zhu, don't go too far. I said I will handle this matter, so don't mess with it."
At this time, Si Zhu had determined that the Jia Zhang family must have formed an alliance with Yi Zhonghai.
But Shazhu was not in a hurry.
He looked at Yi Zhonghai with a cold face and said: "Yi Zhonghai, don't forget, I am the second uncle in the compound, and I haven't resigned yet! According to the regulations, I have the right to handle this matter!"
As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He had actually forgotten about it.
As the steward of the compound, Shazhu naturally has the right to take charge of things. Now he can only try to plead for Jia and Zhang.
Yi Zhonghai calmed down, put on a flattering smile on his face, and said to Si Zhu: "Si Zhu, see if we can discuss this matter again. Mrs. Jia Zhang may really have some misunderstanding.
We can't conclude that there's something wrong with her just because we see her in the house with someone else, right? You, sir, have a lot of experience, so don't be as knowledgeable as her. Besides, if you make the matter a big deal, what will happen to the courtyard?
The impact is not good either.”
Silly Zhu was unmoved, and said with a cold face: "Yi Zhonghai, don't do this. You don't know how Jia Zhang usually treats me. I finally caught her this time, and I won't."
Let her go easily. As the second uncle, I have to be responsible for the atmosphere of the compound. I must deal with this matter."
Yi Zhonghai became more and more anxious when he saw Sha Zhu's resolute attitude. He racked his brains to think of a way, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "Si Zhu, do you think this will work? If you let Jia Zhang go this time, I will
I must restrain her well and prevent her from causing trouble for you again. Moreover, I will also compensate you in other ways. Just treat it as a favor for me, okay?"
Silly Zhu narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said: "Yi Zhonghai, you don't have that much face. But, if you can come up with something practical, I can consider it."
Yi Zhonghai said quickly: "Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you."
Silly Zhu raised a smile on his lips and said: "Then I won't be polite. I want you to give me your old hen, plus ten pounds of white flour. How about it?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his heart ached, but in order to save Jia Zhang, he could only grit his teeth and agree. "Okay, I promise you. As long as you let Jia Zhang go this time, I will give you the things right away."
Yi Zhonghai thought he could convince Si Zhu this way.
But after Si Zhu heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yi Zhonghai, why are you so concerned about Jia Zhang? Are you doing something shameful with Jia Zhang?"
As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai realized that he had been fooled by Silly Zhu.
You know, most people are absolutely reluctant to give away old hens and ten pounds of white flour.
Yi Zhonghai's face instantly turned livid, he glared at Silly Zhu and said, "Silly Zhu, don't slander anyone! What shameful thing can happen between me and Jia Zhang? I'm doing this for the sake of the harmony of the courtyard, and don't want to make things worse.
Don’t push yourself too far.”
Silly Zhu was not afraid at all and continued to sneer: "Huh, who knows? There must be something wrong with you protecting her like this. I tell you, I will take care of this matter today. Jia Zhang must pay for her behavior
cost."
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't know how to refute. He secretly regretted that he should not have impulsively agreed to Sha Zhu's conditions. This was a good move. Not only did he not solve the problem, but Sha Zhu also took advantage of it.
At this time, some residents who were watching the excitement had gathered around. When they heard what Sha Zhu said, they began to whisper.
"It's really embarrassing for Mr. Jia Zhang to still look for wild men at such an old age. Why does Yi Zhonghai have to stop Silly Zhu?"
"This matter is very simple. It is obvious that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang are also having an affair."
"Hahaha, how can it be so evil? According to what you said, Jia Zhang was a social butterfly before liberation."
Qin Huairu was in the house and heard the quarrel outside. She was shocked when she heard that Jia Zhang and Lao Chentou were discovered dating. She knew very well that if Jia Zhang was caught, her family's reputation would be ruined.
It's all over.
Qin Huairu hurriedly walked out of the house and came to the crowd. She saw Yi Zhonghai standing there with an ugly expression, and Si Zhu with a proud look on his face. The residents around him were talking a lot, and all kinds of unpleasant words were constantly being heard in her ears.
Qin Huairu was anxious. She walked to Yi Zhonghai and whispered: "Uncle Yi, what should we do? How could my mother-in-law do such a thing? Now everyone is talking about how our family will survive in the big city in the future.
Let’s establish ourselves in the courtyard.”
Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu helplessly and said, "Huairu, I didn't expect it to be like this. Now I can only find a way to suppress this matter and not let it continue to cause trouble."
Qin Huairu frowned and said, "But Silly Zhu won't give up. What should we do?"
Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to Silly Zhu and see if I can give him some benefits and let him let go of Jia Zhang this time."
Qin Huairu nodded, but her heart was full of worry. She knew that Si Zhu was not an easy person to talk to, and the matter this time might not be so easy to solve.
At this time, Shazhu saw Qin Huairu coming out, and his heart moved. He deliberately raised his voice and said: "Qin Huairu, you are also responsible for your mother-in-law doing such a shameful thing. You should take care of her more usually. Don't worry."
Let her get into trouble everywhere.”
When Qin Huairu heard this, she rolled her eyes and burst into tears.
"Silly Zhu, my parents-in-law and husband died early. She worked so hard to raise Jia Dongxu. Who knew that Jia Dongxu would also die? She has already had a miserable life. If you catch her now, what kind of face will she have?
Live. Silly Zhu, I beg you, please let her go this time." Qin Huairu cried while holding Silly Zhu's arm tightly, with a look of pleading on her face.
Silly Zhu frowned, shook off Qin Huairu's hand, and said: "Qin Huairu, don't do this. Jia Zhang has done something wrong, and she should bear the consequences. Don't even think about using this method to be moral.
Kidnap me."
Qin Huairu cried even more sadly when she saw that Silly Zhu was unmoved. "Sinzhu, why are you so cruel? It's already very difficult for us orphans and widowed mothers, can't you have pity on us? If my mother-in-law had a
If three things go wrong and two things go wrong, our family will really be doomed."
Silly Zhu said with a cold face: "She asked for it. If she hadn't done such a shameful thing, I wouldn't have arrested her. Stop talking, I won't change my mind."
Qin Huairu looked at Silly Zhu in despair, suddenly turned around and hit the wall next to her, shouting: "Since you won't let my mother-in-law go, then I won't live either." Seeing this, the surrounding residents shouted.
Everyone exclaimed, and someone quickly stepped forward to hold Qin Huairu.
"Huairu, don't do anything stupid."
"Si Zhu, just spare them. What if someone loses their life?"
The courtyard suddenly became a mess.
Silly Zhu was also shocked by Qin Huairu's actions. He did not expect Qin Huairu to be so extreme. But he still hardened his heart and said: "Qin Huairu, don't think that I will let Jia Zhang go. She must do it for her."
Take responsibility for your own actions.”
After Qin Huairu was pulled, she sat on the ground and continued to cry, accusing Silly Zhu constantly. "Silly Zhu, you have gone too far. You have no sympathy at all, you will be punished." Silly Zhu looked at it.
Seeing Qin Huairu's look, he felt a little shaken in his heart. He knew that Qin Huairu's family was indeed not easy, but Jia Zhang's behavior also made him very angry. He was caught in a tangle and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai stood up again.
He walked up to Silly Zhu and said: "Silly Zhu, you see Qin Huairu is like this, so stop insisting. Jia Zhang did not do the right thing this time, but she has also learned a lesson. Just let it go.
Let her do it this time, I will definitely watch her carefully from now on and not let her make any mistakes again."
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to help Qin Huairu.
But what he didn't expect was that he would arouse Sha Zhu's vigilance as soon as he came forward. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang worked together to frame Sha Zhu, so Sha Zhu naturally couldn't stop there.
Silly Zhu didn't even look at Yi Zhonghai, and turned to look at several residents in the compound.
Aunt Liu, who lives in the middle courtyard, has always admired Sha Zhu's integrity and kindness. She was the first to stand up and respond to Sha Zhu: "Si Zhu, I'll go with you. What Jia Zhang did is really unethical, we can't just do it like this
never mind."
Uncle Li, who lives in the backyard, also nodded and said, "Yes, Silly Zhu, we can't let this unhealthy trend spread in the courtyard. I'll go with you too."
There is also Xiao Zhang who lives in the front yard. Silly Zhu helps him a lot on weekdays. He said without hesitation: "Brother Silly Zhu, I will go too. We have to catch Jia Zhang and let her know how powerful she is."
.”
Several people agreed to go with Silly Zhu to arrest Jia Zhang.
Silly Zhu was worried that the delay was too long and that Jia Zhang and Lao Chen had escaped for the first time, so he immediately ran out of the courtyard with a few people.
Seeing this situation, Qin Huairu's legs weakened and she collapsed on the ground.
She knew very well that Jia Zhang was in doom this time.
Yi Zhonghai reminded her from the side: "Qin Huairu, it's not the last moment yet. Jia Zhang is not someone to be trifled with. Silly Zhu might not be able to do anything about it. Let's go, let's go help Jia Zhang."
Qin Huairu heard a trace of hesitation in her eyes after listening to Yi Zhonghai's words. She knew that Jia Zhang's temper would definitely make a big fuss if she was caught, but she didn't want to make things worse. But Yi Zhonghai had a point.
The truth is, it's not the last moment yet, and there might be a turning point.
Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and stood up. "Uncle Yi, let's go quickly." The two of them also hurriedly chased in the direction where Sha Zhu and the others left.
Along the way, Qin Huairu was in a state of anxiety. She was worried about the consequences of Jia Zhang's arrest, and she was also afraid that Silly Zhu and the others would not let Jia Zhang go.
Yi Zhonghai comforted Qin Huairu as he walked: "Huairu, don't worry too much. We will act according to the situation later and try to calm things down."
At this time, Sha Zhu had already arrived outside the hut. He pointed at the door and said, "Jia Zhang and Lao Chentou are inside!"
