The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 53 I, Yi Zhonghai, am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth

"Old He, this matter was indeed not done by Old Yi!"

Seeing that He Daqing had an unhappy expression on his face, Yan Bugui quickly spoke up, trying to ease the atmosphere. He didn't want Yi Zhonghai to think that he was instigating something.

"But maybe he has some difficulties."

"I think, wait until Lao Yi comes home from get off work, then you can have a good chat with him. You've lived in the same courtyard for so many years, and you'll see each other every day!"

"Don't let the relationship become too strained!"

"A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"

"What do you say?"

After Yan Bugui spoke for a while, He Daqing's expression eased a little.

"Old Yan, I'll listen to you. Let me hear what Yi Zhonghai has to say first!"

"No, let me hear how he has to argue!"

He Daqing is not a fool.

It is true that he abandoned his children for beauty, but that year his son was sixteen years old and able to set up his own household. He also had a job arranged by him and took good care of his sister, so there was no big problem.

What's more, he sent money every month.

He said at the time that the money was for Yu Shui's living expenses.

As a result, this bastard caused his son's job to be changed from a regular employee to an apprentice, and he also embezzled his daughter's living expenses.

"Lao He, please don't be too impulsive. Now that Zhuzi has been sentenced, you still have to take care of Yushui!"

"Before you do anything, think about the rain!"

After Yan Bugui said this, He Daqing felt less violent.

However, only He Daqing himself knows what he is thinking.

……

At the steel mill.

Yi Zhonghai finally got to the end of his shift, so he hurriedly packed up his workstation and left the factory.

In the past, his workstation would be cleaned up by his apprentices, but now, everyone fears him like a tiger, and those who used to surround him now stay away from him.

For someone like him who has such a bad reputation to still be able to hold on to a job, that shows how skilled he is.

If it were someone else, there's no telling what they would be assigned to do.

Yi Zhonghai was not worried that He Daqing would settle old scores with him. As long as he pushed the blame onto others, He Daqing would not be able to cause trouble for him.

At the beginning, the steel rolling mill was not owned by the state, but by Loubancheng.

The canteen manager at that time has disappeared now and no one knows where he is. This is called "no evidence"!

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard and ran into Yan Bugui as soon as he entered the door.

"Lao Yi, Lao He is back, you have to take it easy!"

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai, he reminded him in a good-natured way.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, thanked him, and strode back to the central courtyard.

He Daqing was waiting at the door. When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming back, he looked over sharply.

"Yi Zhonghai!"

"Lao He, I know you are very angry now, but don't be angry first!"

Facing the angry He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai remained calm.

"I can explain to you about the pillars, and I'm not greedy about the living expenses. I'll explain everything to you later!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your excuses!"

He Daqing thought of his daughter and knew that he couldn't really do anything to Yi Zhonghai, so he decided to listen to how Yi Zhonghai was going to argue.

"Shufang, is the meal ready?"

When Yi Zhonghai was talking to He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai's wife Wang Shufang came out of the house, and Yi Zhonghai asked a question casually.

"it is done!"

"Lao He, come to my house, let's drink and chat. After all, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years!"

"Okay!"

He Daqing sneered.

After He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai entered the Yi family, Wang Shufang took some dishes and a steamed bun and went out, running to the backyard to find the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai's reputation is now damaged. If they want to gain a foothold in the courtyard, they have to take better care of the deaf old lady.

Although the reputation of the deaf old lady is somewhat affected now, she is still a five-guarantee household in this street after all. Taking care of this old lady can still earn a good reputation.

As the old saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character.

……

Easy home.

He Daqing was not very interested in the fine wine and food in front of him.

He just wanted to hear how Yi Zhonghai would argue.

"Old He, it's really not me who messed up Shazhu's work, it's that Manager Niu who changed his mind!"

"After you left, Yu Shui cried and shouted for you, so Zhuzi took him to Baocheng and didn't go to the factory right away, which resulted in the factory not being able to properly entertain the guests!"

"Niu was scolded, so he took his anger out on you. Because of this, Zhuzi can only start as an apprentice!"

He Daqing was silent.

The canteen manager of the steel rolling mill at that time was indeed such a person, petty-minded and would take his anger out on his subordinates whenever there was any problem.

"Okay, Zhuzi's work has nothing to do with you, but what do you think about the living expenses I give Yushui?"

"This, it's really not my fault!"

"I don't know what happened when Zhuzi and Yushui went to look for you. Anyway, after the two kids came back, Zhuzi hated you so much whenever he mentioned you!"

"He threw all your things out of the house and said he doesn't recognize you as his father!"

"Where's Yu Shui? She cries whenever she mentions you. She cries so hard that her heart breaks!"

"Under such circumstances, do you think I would dare to say that you sent living expenses to Yushui?"

"I don't dare!"

"You know Zhuzi's personality, he's a stubborn person!"

"If he knew that I was still in contact with you, do you think, with his personality, he would still care about me?"

What Yi Zhonghai said seemed reasonable.

For a moment, He Daqing really couldn't find any fault with it.

However, these words cannot stand up to scrutiny after all.

If Yi Zhonghai really cares about He Yushui, then even if he can't talk about living expenses, can't he just prepare some extra food and drinks for Yushui in the name of their family?
However, no!
"Yi Zhonghai, then tell me again, why did you ask Zhuzi to help the Jia family?"

He Daqing narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

For other things, the reasons are acceptable.

But this group of Jia family has become a gang, and Jia Dongxu's salary is much higher than that of his stupid son.

"Lao He, I am indeed wrong about this matter!"

"I'm just saying that people shouldn't just think about themselves. We all live in the same courtyard, so if we can help, we should help!"

"I really didn't know that Zhuzi could help the Dongxu family to this extent!"

"I know no one will believe me if I say anything now."

"But, this is really the case!"

"As for Zhuzi stealing the cafeteria's supplies, I know nothing about it!"

"Every time Zhuzi brought back a lunch box, he said it was leftovers. I didn't open the lunch box to check. The lunch box was either given to the old lady in the backyard or to the Jia family!"

"Occasionally, the pillars will be left for rainwater!"

"I always thought that Zhuzi really brought leftovers from the cafeteria!"

After all, Yi Zhonghai expressed one point: everything had nothing to do with him directly.

His intention was good!
"Old He, we have known each other for many years. You should know what kind of person I, Yi Zhonghai, am!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Daqing with a sad expression.

"After the incident with Zhuzi was exposed, I didn't argue with my boss or explain. It's not that I couldn't explain, but if I explained, Zhuzi's problem would become even more serious!"

"I am at least an eighth-level fitter in the factory!"

“That’s quite a bit of ability!”

"If the leaders want to use me, they won't kill me with one blow!"

"And I bear part of the responsibility for this matter, so Zhuzi's responsibility is less!"

"Old He, I, Yi Zhonghai, am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth!"
