Qin Huai Ru’s face was swollen like a pig’s head, her anger released. He Yu Cheng knew it was best to stop things here.
So he controlled Jia Zhang Shi, making her stammer, “This, this, I, I didn’t see clearly, I don’t know if Qin Huai Ru’s clothes were buttoned wrong when she went to Sha Zhu’s house.”
“You don’t know what you are talking about! You made Dong Xu and Sha Zhu fight with knives. If someone was injured or disabled, do you know how serious the consequences would be?”
Jia Zhang Shi was controlled by He Yu Cheng and acted as if she knew nothing.
One issue solved, now it was He Yu Cheng and He Yu Shui’s turn. These two siblings stood up and made him look bad today, and their words were sharp, directly targeting him. He would definitely have to deal with them in the future!
So, he spoke again, “Zhuzi, I said you should help the Jia family because your family’s ration is for three people, while the Jia family only has Dong Xu who is registered in the city, and he has the ration. And I never said that Yu Cheng and Yu Shui couldn’t go to school.”
“No, Yi Da Ye, you clearly said it. You said Yu Cheng, Yu Shui are sixteen years old, they can go out and earn money to help the family. In the past, at their age, they could already start a family. You said that Yu Shui, a girl, will eventually get married, and a married daughter is like spilled water. What’s the use of a high degree?”
Unexpectedly, He Yu Zhu even said this in front of everyone. This was like roasting himself on a fire! How to explain this?
“That’s your misunderstanding. I wasn’t talking about the summer vacation. What I meant was that they should go out and get some experience. They are both literate and Yu Cheng is doing a good job. He went to the street to work as a temporary worker. At that time, I just wanted them to go to the street to help the street office and earn some money.”
Everyone understood that Yi Zhong Hai was making excuses, everyone knew what he was thinking. But some people didn’t understand, the simple-minded He Yu Zhu scratched his head and said, “Yi Da Ye, is that what you meant?”
Yi Zhong Hai nodded firmly, “Yes, that’s what I meant!”
Then Yi Zhong Hai turned to He Yu Shui and said, “Yu Shui, your father lost contact after leaving Si Jiu City. When you came to borrow money, I really didn’t expect Sha Zhu to say that you should drop out of school. My family didn’t have any money at that time. Your Yi Da Ma was sick and needed to buy medicine every month. I was taking care of the old lady in the backyard and Dong Xu occasionally borrowed money from me. Our family used to have some savings, but I put it in a fixed deposit. Don’t blame Yi Da Ye.”
Wow, he just ignored what he said before and directly denied everything. It wasn’t like this at all.
“Alright, it was all a misunderstanding. If you had explained it clearly to me at that time, I could have thought of a way to help you with the tuition. I didn’t understand what was going on when Yu Cheng pulled you away, and the matter was over. If you have any difficulties in the future, remember to tell Yi Da Ye. Yi Da Ye will definitely help!”
What a moral saint! No, he’s the master of the moral saint, Yuan Shi Tian Zun.
He said this, but He Yu Cheng didn’t know if the people in the courtyard would believe it or how it would be spread. But he knew that it would not be easy for Yi Zhong Hai to bully people with his power again!
Seeing everyone looking at him, Yi Zhong Hai felt uneasy. This private conversation couldn’t be brought to the table. Like Sha Zhu, they could talk privately, saying that he dropped Yu Cheng and Yu Shui out of school for his own good, but he couldn’t admit it in front of everyone.
If he admitted it, what would he be? Destroying others’ family relationships. No one would be comfortable with him if they knew that.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Yi Zhong Hai said to Yi Da Ma, “Alright, old partner, help me go back. Then quickly cook. The old lady in the backyard is still hungry!”
Now Yi Zhong Hai could only be a turtle, withdrawing into his shell. He would explain later, but he needed to escape this crisis first. He didn’t know if he was under a bad omen. Why did all these unlucky things happen to him?
As soon as he entered the house, Yi Zhong Hai closed the door to avoid listening to the discussions outside.
Since he had already made Yi Zhong Hai lose face, He Yu Cheng didn’t mind making him even more embarrassed. With a thought, He Yu Cheng’s avatar entered the courtyard from outside, dressed as a postman!
“Registered letter for He Da Qing. He Yu Cheng, He Yu Shui, are you here? Collect the letter!”
Those who were about to leave all stopped when they heard about He Da Qing’s letter.
“Here, here.”
Hearing about He Da Qing’s letter, Yi Zhong Hai, who had just entered the house, wanted to come out again. But He Yu Cheng was faster, he directly took a piece of paper and started reading. It was too late for Yi Zhong Hai to stop him.
“Second brother, did Dad really send a letter back?”
He Yu Cheng had already read Yi Zhong Hai’s memories and knew that He Da Qing had sent twenty yuan every month since he left, starting from the second month. He Yu Cheng naturally wanted to use this opportunity to punish Yi Zhong Hai, to prevent him from jumping around every day.
Because of his injuries, Yi Zhong Hai was puzzled when he saw the postman in the crowd again. Didn’t they always go to the post office to collect mail? Why did they deliver it to their doorsteps today?
He Yu Cheng’s avatar said, “It’s been a long time since we came. We came to check if the residents’ addresses have changed. And these days, everyone’s life is not easy. Our post office also asked the postmen to come down and see if they could get some food. This is a task from above.”
This was not a lie. In the past, some postmen did receive good things when they delivered letters to the countryside. This wasn’t a lie. There was a postman who walked along the winding mountain roads for over ten years, becoming the most familiar person in the surrounding villages.
While delivering mail, he was also passionate about collecting folk items. Now he had nearly 20,000 items in his collection and was planning to build a folk museum in the village to display his collection from the past ten years.
After reading the empty letter, He Yu Cheng didn’t say a word, he directly pulled He Yu Shui and walked out of the courtyard!
“Yu Shui, let’s go to the police station!
Hearing that they were going to the police station, Yi Zhong Hai was really anxious. The people in the courtyard didn’t know the situation, but he did. He Da Qing had left him three hundred yuan before leaving, and then he sent a letter with twenty yuan every month starting from the second month in Bao Cheng. The letter and money were all in his house.
“Yu Cheng, Yu Shui, wait. What did your father say?”
He Yu Cheng said coldly, “My father said he left three hundred yuan at your place when he left, and then he sent twenty yuan each month as living expenses for me and Yu Shui. He’s been sending a letter every month for all these years, saying that my brother made him leave Si Jiu City, and he hasn’t replied for all these years. But as far as I know, our family has never received a letter in all these years. It’s been seven years, twenty yuan every month, that’s no small sum. Where is the money? We have to find out clearly by calling the police!”
