The conspiracy of the courtyard

After He Yuzhu finished talking, everyone in the yard looked at him. The meaning was very clear. It seemed that there was something fishy going on. If you want to talk about it, just say more and don't get involved.

When Yi Zhonghai heard these words, his heart began to tremble, his scalp went numb, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale. He felt fear, nervousness, and surprise, and his emotions were beyond words.

I tried to open my mouth several times, but no sound came out. I didn't know how to explain myself. Should I say I didn't do these things? Impossible. Seeing how decisive He Yuzhu was in what he said, he must know some inside information.

But how to clear myself? It seems that there is no way to clear myself today. This is secondary. The main thing is how to save face? How to move on from this topic? Apologize? Impossible. If I apologize today, this matter will be everywhere tomorrow. Where is the face?

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was extremely resentful of the deaf old lady. It was bad enough that he was tricked by her greed, but she didn't even explain the matter clearly. How could he get away with this?

"Oh, there are so many of you here. It's okay. I was just greedy and ate too much meat. I'm old and my stomach is not good. I'm sorry for worrying about you all.

Zhuzi, the dishes are good, but some things can't be put randomly, or something bad will happen. Be careful next time, if the guests know about it, your life will be in danger. It's just that I'm a tight-lipped old woman and didn't tell anyone about it.

You don't have to be grateful. When you have time, just cook a few more dishes for me to satisfy my craving. It's so late now, everyone should go back and rest."

The deaf woman, who looked a little listless, leaned against Aunt Zhou, standing in the middle of the hanging flower gate, speaking threatening words with her weak mouth.

When the deaf woman's voice came out, some people were happy and some were worried. The happy one was naturally Yi Zhonghai, because he not only solved the current predicament, but also got a handle on He Yuzhu. With this handle, why should he be afraid of him making trouble?

His complexion returned to normal, he let out a breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, releasing the joy in his heart.

The one who was most worried was undoubtedly He Yuzhu. He looked at Lu Zixuan nervously and blinked twice. Although he knew he was right, Lu Zixuan didn't teach him how to deal with the deaf woman, so he could only ask for help.

As soon as Chen Ping saw He Yuzhu's expression, she knew that he was stuck again. She really didn't know what was going on, so she picked up Lu Zixuan and asked him what to say. Lu Zixuan pointed to the position of his heart and motioned Chen Ping to come forward.

"Really? May I ask what time and where did you eat the dishes made by Zhuzi? Tell us about it." After Chen Ping finished speaking, she looked at the deaf woman who was being supported and walked towards the middle of the courtyard.

"Chen Ping, can a boy as old as Zhuzi be full with just the two taels of coarse grains from your family? Naturally he has to add more vegetables to supplement his diet. Do you want to control this? You are not his biological sister. I don't know why you are supporting them." The deaf old woman immediately changed the subject.

"Haha, you still haven't answered the question. When? Where? Did you eat the food made by Zhuzi? Don't beat around the bush. This matter will alarm the government. Do you think your wife can bear it?" Chen Ping was not fooled at all and only acknowledged the answer.

The deaf woman thought for a moment and said in a gentle tone: "Chen Ping, why do you have to be so aggressive? It's enough if everyone knows it clearly. Why do we have to be on the verge of a fight? After all, we still have to live in the same courtyard."

Chen Ping ignored her Tai Chi theory and continued to ask: "When? Where? How about we talk somewhere else? The Military Control Commission's yard is very big."

The deaf woman continued to talk about something else: "Chen Ping, I know you stood up for Zhuzi just to make him accept your favor. Now that your goal has been achieved, is there any need to be so aggressive? We are all neighbors, and everyone has sad times. Isn't it good to just live in peace like this?"

Chen Ping was not moved at all. "When? Where? Zhuzi, if she doesn't answer, report directly to the Military Control Commission. Don't listen to her nonsense."

The deaf woman became even more exhausted. She closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Yi Zhonghai tensed up involuntarily when he saw this. His heartbeat started to speed up again. He really wanted to admit his mistake and apologize, and not torture his heart any more, which was beating fast and slow. But he didn't dare, and he didn't want to...

He Yuzhu totally couldn't understand what the deaf woman was doing. "You cheated, so I cheated. I won't ask you to pay for it. It would be better if you just admitted it. This prevented everyone from going home to sleep."

He looked at Lu Zixuan with some confusion, raised his eyebrows hard, and tilted his head towards the Chuihua Gate.

Lu Zixuan understood He Yuzhu's expression. He really didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but the deaf woman's unwillingness to say more really made him a little confused.

But we can't just sit there and waste time. We waved our hands and asked He Yuzhu to go to the Military Control Commission. They were not afraid anyway. Maybe the deaf woman was just gambling that He Yuzhu would not dare to report it.

He Yuzhu received Lu Zixuan's hint and walked out the door without hesitation. Just as he took the fifth step, he heard Yi Zhonghai's speech that changed the concept.

"Zhu Zi, there's no need to make the matter between neighbors known to the whole city. We can solve the matter ourselves, so don't bother the government late at night.

Isn't it just some cooking ingredients? You can just not use it next time. It's not worth it to mobilize so many people. Come back. It's not a big deal. Just talk it out.

Okay, it’s getting late, and the old lady isn’t in any serious condition, so let’s all go back.”

"Yi Zhonghai, stop using your pedagogical tone to lecture my family. You are not qualified. I didn't intend to let Zhuzi pursue the matter, but since you are turning the tables, we really need to make this matter clear. My family will not tolerate this humiliation.

Zhuzi, go ahead and stop by the police station to ask if framing a good person is illegal. If not, then come back quickly. From tomorrow on, whether it’s spread by word of mouth or written publicity, we have to find a place to speak for justice.”

Chen Ping didn't give Yi Zhonghai any chance to confuse the public, and beat him every time he saw him.

The deaf woman was probably a little nervous, and her voice trembled as she said, "Zhu Zi, wait a minute. Chen Ping, we have never offended you, have we? We have never done anything that is against the law, have we? Why are you targeting us? Is it necessary to target us for everything? Can't we all live in peace? Do you have to force people to death?"

"Okay, as long as you are willing to be reasonable, then it's easy to talk. Zhuzi, don't be anxious, let's talk to them first. Deaf woman, do you dare to say that you have never plotted against me?

When did Yi Zhonghai attack me without your instructions? Writing a letter of complaint to the district, saying that my son drank foreign milk powder every day and took the capitalist route, was it you who arranged it?

It was you who reported to the police station that I was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, wasn't it? It was you who told Lu Zhihai to spread the word that I was his mistress, wasn't it? You did it yourself, and you ordered Yi Zhonghai to do it, and directed Yan Bugui to do it, do you need me to continue?"
