Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Middle Courtyard Yi Family.

Tian Guixiang stared at Yi Zhonghai as if he were her enemy, and urged him in a cold voice:

"Either we get divorced right away, or I'll be in charge of the family's finances from now on. Choose one quickly! There's no point in living like this anyway. Even if I die, I'll take one or two people with me!"

As the old saying goes, the tough are afraid of the tough, the tough are afraid of the stupid, and the stupid are afraid of the desperate. Even though Yi Zhonghai was extremely smart, he was still worried when facing his wife who was so emotional that she was a little crazy.

He didn't even dare to say anything, for fear that he would accidentally irritate this woman who couldn't lay eggs, and then this crazy woman might run to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

You know, Yi just had his own child and got a lot of money. His future life will definitely be as comfortable as possible. Why would he risk his life with a crazy woman?

Therefore, for now, we can only follow Tian Guixiang's wishes and wait until this critical moment is over.

As for the bundle of treasures, it was hidden by Tian Guixiang, so there shouldn't be any danger for the time being.

After all, this woman is just a little mentally ill, not really crazy.

"Guixiang, you will be in charge of the money from now on. After I get paid, I will give it all to you..."

Yi Zhonghai was so panicked that he could only coax his wife in a gentle voice and kept saying considerate words.

"Guixiang, hurry up and eat the fried liver to replenish your body. You have become thinner due to hunger these past few days."

Hearing this, Tian Guixiang felt nauseous and snorted in annoyance, then started eating without any hesitation; even if she didn't want to eat, the baby in her belly needed nutrition.

While eating the fried liver, Tian Guixiang noticed the trembling Yi Zhonghai from the corner of her eye. She felt an indescribable sense of joy in her heart and was extremely grateful in her heart: "Han Li's advice is really useful! I will repay him when I have the chance in the future!"

After Tian Guixiang finished eating the fried liver, Yi Zhonghai was attentive and poured her a bowl of sugar water.

When he put the syrup on the table, he sighed sadly and said helplessly, "Guixiang, I'm sorry! I was not careful for a moment and fell into the trap of the Niu family. I was plotted by these beasts!"

Yi Wanhua became angrier and angrier as she spoke: "After those bastards from the Niu family found out that we didn't have any children, they wanted to eat up our entire family! They just took advantage of my high salary and the fact that we don't have any other relatives, so they thought I was easy to bully!"

If I don't obey, they will dare to sue me for raping Ma Yanrong! If I really go to jail, how will you live without anyone to rely on?"

Yi Yinbi gritted his teeth in hatred: "I have been forced all this time! I thought that after I successfully dealt with those beasts of the Niu family, I would explain it to you properly. Who knew that I would cause you such great harm? I really deserve to die!"

While revealing her true feelings, Yi Wanhua also started slapping herself in the face.

If it were in the past, Tian Guixiang might really have been fooled by Yi Zhonghai's rhetoric, but now there are irreconcilable contradictions between them, both of them have changed their hearts, and it is impossible for them to be of one mind anymore.

Tian Guixiang snorted lightly, her anger obviously reduced a lot, and she didn't even look at Yi Zhonghai, but just said coldly: "From now on, I will only take care of the money, and you can do whatever you want with the rest!"

After saying that, she went straight into the house to rest.

You know what, she was exhausted after going back to her parents' home for a few days.

Watching Tian Guixiang's back as she returned to her room, Yi Zhonghai frowned tightly, and finally sighed helplessly, muttering to himself: "What the hell is going on!"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Yi Wanhua thought for a long time and felt that the most urgent task was to solve the biggest problem, the Niu family.

After thinking for a long time, he came up with a plan and tiptoed out of the door.

Ma Yanrong, who was wandering around the gate of Jia's house, instantly spotted Yi Zhonghai and quickly threw him a wink.

The next second, Xiao Hai waved at her.

Ma Yanrong was delighted and hurried forward.

"Sister Yanrong, take this money and buy some meat. Guixiang isn't feeling well, so I need to stay home to take care of her. Also, she must be a little mentally disturbed by what we did, so don't provoke her again! It's a good opportunity to treat her to a meal of meat, and you two can also ease the tension."

It is worth mentioning that Yi Zhonghai withheld hundreds of thousands (tens of yuan) as pocket money.

Now he really regretted it so much that he should have left all the cash behind!

Ma Yanrong took the money and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

Afterwards, the compound returned to peace again, except for the occasional sounds of construction coming from the east wing next door.

lunch time.

In the backyard, the deaf old lady’s house.

"Old lady, my daughter Xiaohua is almost fully recovered. I bought some meat today. You can try my cooking. I got the seasoning for this stew from Shazhu specially."

Ma Yanrong had already determined that the deaf old lady was a wealthy widower, so naturally she had other ideas. She thought that if she first established a good relationship with the deaf old lady, she might be able to get more benefits.

Her idea was to take advantage of this good opportunity to serve the deaf old lady for a few days and say some nice things to her. Maybe the old lady would give her some good things. Even if the old lady didn't give them to her voluntarily, she might be able to 'pick up' some valuable items while cleaning.

Seeing Ma Yanrong's intention to get close to her, the deaf old lady sat there calmly and praised her in a nonchalant way: "You are thoughtful!"

"Respecting the elderly is what we younger generations should do."

After Ma Yanrong left, the deaf old lady took a piece of meat and tasted it, and gave her evaluation: "This cooking skill is not even as good as that girl Guixiang! This piece of meat is wasted!"

Although she said this, her body was very honest and the bowl of meat was finished in no time.

After eating the meat, the deaf old lady began to think that she had a picky taste and could not just eat steamed buns and drink cornmeal porridge every day like the people in the courtyard. She had to think of some other way.

Soon, the deaf old lady had an idea in her mind. Sha Zhu was a cook, and if she could hang out with Sha Zhu more often, she could also satisfy her cravings.

This crisis made her realize that Yi Zhonghai alone was completely unreliable.

As she gets older, the deaf old lady feels more and more lonely and wants to have a big grandson.

Sha Zhu’s cooking is delicious, and she has watched him grow up since he was a child. The child knows how to repay kindness and must be a filial person.

Just imagine that in the future, with the filial piety of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu's families, over time, a culture of respecting the elderly will gradually be formed in the compound. Then in the future, whenever someone's family makes something delicious, she can eat some to satisfy her cravings.

After all, her money would always run out. The expenses of "visiting relatives" (going to professional places to enjoy life) every month were too high. With only her savings, she would have to sell her jewelry in a few years.

Just as she was thinking hard, the deaf old lady suddenly looked painful, and her stomach began to churn and she felt unbearable pain.

Half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai, looking weak, came to the deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, there's something weird about what happened today! Ma Yanrong treated us to meat, and then we had diarrhea. There must have been laxatives in the meat. How could this woman be so vicious? What on earth does she want to do?"

The deaf old lady was a shrewd person. After a little thought, she realized that Ma Yanrong must be using this as an excuse to serve her and then take advantage of her property.

The Niu family not only targeted Yi Zhonghai and wanted to take over the Yi family, but they also didn't let this old woman go! Damn it!

At this moment, the deaf old lady hated the Niu family so much!

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly exclaimed: "Old lady, I'm afraid the Niu family has been planning this for a long time! Their real purpose is definitely not that simple!"

The deaf old lady realized something and asked hurriedly, "Zhong Hai, when you put the things away, were the Niu family members not seeing you?"

"Yes, I don't think so. Ma Yanrong was guarding the door all day, and it was impossible to avoid her when passing through the Middle Courtyard." Yi Zhonghai's voice began to tremble severely: "I, I pretended to have a stomachache to leave the Middle Courtyard."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady immediately had a bad feeling: "Quick, go and get the things back!"

When Yi Zhonghai came back, he looked like an eggplant hit by frost, with his head drooping. "It's over, it's over! Old Wang's house has been turned upside down, but the door lock is still good!"

After finishing speaking, Yi Wanhua lost balance and began to sway from side to side, with a heavy cry in her voice: "My, my savings of many years~"

Upon hearing the bad news, the deaf old lady was so angry that she almost passed out. She felt like the sky was falling. Her body was shaking violently. She gritted her teeth fiercely and said, "These beasts in the Niu family are really good at tricks!"

Having lived for several decades, she had guessed that the Niu family probably saw that no one was at Old Wang's house in the outer courtyard and wanted to sneak in to get some benefits, but they didn't expect that they got a huge sum of treasure by accident!

As for the door lock, it is good. Given the character of the Niu family, it is very reasonable that they would sneak into the house and pick the lock.

The first thought that came to the deaf old lady’s mind was to report the case, she must report the case!

"Madam, let's report it to the police." Yi Zhonghai was panicked, his brows furrowed like his dead father: "But if we report it, what if someone from the Niu family denies it, or at worst pushes someone else to take the blame, then we won't be able to get our money back."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady really thought of this key point; no matter how much they said, it was just their speculation and there was no evidence.

As the old saying goes, if you catch a thief, you should seize the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you should seize both. Without sufficient evidence, the Niu family will definitely not admit it just because he has diarrhea.

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and smoked it tremblingly, obviously racking his brains for a countermeasure.

"Old lady, this is all my fault. I will definitely find a way to get it back!"

Yi Zhonghai's voice trembled severely, with a strong hatred: "Niu Erzhuang! It must be him! Niu Erzhuang is the only one in the Niu family who has this brain! This bastard set up a trap to frame Dongxu before..."

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady only felt that they were noisy. The loss of her treasure made her extremely sad, and after the sadness came endless regret and anger;

She regretted that she had trusted Yi Zhonghai's trick of "hiding the darkness under the lamp", and was angry that the beasts of the Niu family dared to plot against her.

In the past, the deaf old lady had countless ways to deal with the Niu family, because money makes the world go round.

But now that she has no money, she probably won’t use her previous connections to save her reputation.

Only those with money are the masters. If you don’t have money, just go wherever the hell you want.

Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply: "If we can find a way to send Niu Erzhuang to prison, then the rest of the Niu family will be easy to deal with. I am also sure that I can make the Niu family spit out our money! I will go and knock Niu Erzhuang out with a club tonight!"

"Don't be impulsive!" The deaf old lady shouted coldly. Now she had lost a large sum of money. If she really couldn't find it back, she would have to rely on Yi Zhonghai in the future. After all, she still had an IOU of tens of millions (thousand yuan) in her hand.

After thinking for a while with her eyes downcast, the deaf old lady looked sinister. She fumbled for a yellowed paper and said to Yi Zhonghai in a low voice:

"Go back and find a way to get Niu Erzhuang this treasure map! There are mines in this place! If Niu Erzhuang steps on a mine, he will lose half his life if he doesn't die!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but gasp. Fortunately, he passed the blame on to others. Otherwise, if he was really targeted by this old woman, he would most likely be the one who stepped on the landmine.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly issued a military order: "Old lady, please relax. Even if I destroy the Niu family, I will get all your things back intact!"

After leaving the backyard, Yi Yinbi let out a long breath and thought to himself: "I have to continue to instigate a fight between the Niu family and the deaf old lady. It would be best if both sides were injured and one or two people died!"
