Yi Da Ma, upon receiving the instructions, hurried to the backyard.
Then she quickly told Deaf Old Lady about the matter.
Deaf Old Lady knew that He Da Qing left some money behind, but she didn’t know that he sent money to He Yu Cheng and He Yu Shui every month.
Upon hearing this, the postman spilled the beans, Deaf Old Lady sighed, "There are no secrets in this world, the truth will always come out, this is the mess that Yi Zhong Hai made."
Yi Da Ma said in a choked voice, "Old Lady, Lao Yi knows he was wrong, now we need to think of a way to save him."
Deaf Old Lady still relies on Yi Zhong Hai for life, saving him is a must. But the postman already revealed everything in front of everyone, wanting to simply hand over the money and letters is impossible.
Deaf Old Lady, leaning on her cane, came to the middle courtyard. Seeing everyone watching the show, she shouted, "What are you all doing standing around? I’m dizzy looking at you all, go away!"
It has to be said that Deaf Old Lady is still smart. She knew that with these people instigating trouble, solving this matter would be more difficult. She quickly drove everyone in the yard away.
Yi Zhong Hai’s reputation in the courtyard was damaged, but Deaf Old Lady was still the same old ancestor who could act like a tyrant.
People in the yard couldn’t beat or scold Deaf Old Lady, after all, she was old. If they were to be accused by her, they would still have to take care of her in the end, it would be such a hassle.
Seeing only He’s brothers and the postman left in the courtyard, Deaf Old Lady said to the postman first, "You have delivered the letters, is there anything else? Why don’t you go back?"
"Old Lady, I can't go back. If this matter is not properly resolved, our post office will be implicated!"
"This is our family matter, it can be solved in the yard, it has nothing to do with your post office!"
Seeing that Deaf Old Lady insisted on getting rid of him, the postman said, "Alright, if you insist that I go back, I will go report to our leader. When I come back next time, it will be with the police and the neighborhood committee!"
Deaf Old Lady was speechless. While she was domineering, it was only in the yard, outside, nobody would pay her any attention, she was very similar to Jia Zhang Shi in this aspect.
Hearing that the postman wanted to call the police, Deaf Old Lady sighed, "Oh, then come in with us, we’ll talk inside!"
She initially thought that Sha Zhu was her good grandson, easy to control. First, she would fool Sha Zhu, and the rest of the two teenagers would be easy, but now, things have changed!
Entering the house, Deaf Old Lady raised her cane and beat Yi Zhong Hai! "Are you crazy? Look at what you’ve done!"
After hitting him a few times, Deaf Old Lady sighed, "Sha Zhu, Yu Cheng, Yu Shui, no matter what, this is your First Uncle’s fault. Okay, I, the Old Lady, will give you all some face, he will return all the money to you and apologize to you, let’s just forget about this, how about that?"
He Yu Zhu was extremely respectful towards the Old Lady, so when she said this, he said with a smile, "Old Lady, I’ll listen to you!"
Before He Yu Cheng and He Yu Shui could reply, the postman turned around and went to open the door to leave.
"This is a complete lie! Return the money, apologize and that’s it? It was their money, shouldn’t he return it? He is breaking the law. If you can’t handle it, I’ll report to the police, let’s see what they say!”
"This is our courtyard’s matter, we can solve it in the courtyard!"
The postman didn't give in, "He’s breaking the law, can your courtyard be bigger than the law? I don’t believe it."
Deaf Old Lady dared not say that the courtyard’s rules were bigger than the law of the country. It was only a postman, but if he really reported to the police, it would be a big deal. As he said, the amount of money involved was too much, thirty-five yuan a month, it would take five years of saving without eating or drinking to accumulate that much.
"I’ll pay, I’ll pay, okay?"
He Yu Cheng sighed in his heart, it was good to have a split personality, he didn’t have to say anything, everything was handled. "Tell me, how much?"
"I’ll pay an extra one thousand yuan, okay?"
One thousand yuan was no small amount in this era. If it were anyone else in the courtyard, they would have happily accepted the money and the matter would have been settled, but He Yu Cheng was not satisfied with this compensation. One thousand yuan would not make Yi Zhong Hai feel the pain, he had to make him suffer.
"One thousand yuan? You’re treating me like a beggar! Little brother, listen to me, if we handle this matter through official channels, you will get at least twice the compensation! He will also go to jail!"
Hearing about jail, Yi Zhong Hai shivered. Once this matter passed, he would go to a temple to pray, he had been so unlucky lately.
"Yu Cheng, Yu Shui, your brother has forgiven First Uncle, what do you two say?"
Seeing that Deaf Old Lady threw the problem to He Yu Cheng and He Yu Shui, He Yu Cheng naturally didn't need to say anything with his split personality around.
His split personality immediately said, "Old Lady, are you their relative?"
Deaf Old Lady smiled, "We’re all from the same courtyard, I’m the oldest in the courtyard, I’m also a ‘five-guaranteed’ household, I’m the ancestor of this courtyard!"
"Oh, ancestor, should I kneel down and kowtow to you? Your Majesty, Long Live!"
This sentence once again shut Deaf Old Lady up. His split personality continued, "The new country has been established for more than ten years, don’t act like an old tyrant using the old ways. The country gives you a ‘five-guaranteed’ household because it feels sorry for you, because you’re helpless and have no one to take care of you. You have no special privileges, don’t bully the two children, I won’t be satisfied until things are settled, understand?"
Deaf Old Lady’s face turned green from being scolded!
Hearing that he had to pay double the amount and go to jail, Yi Zhong Hai was heartbroken, why did he have to be so foolish and keep the money? Why didn’t he give He Yu Shui the tuition fee when she came to borrow it? If he had given her the money, he could have said that he would give the money to the two siblings together after they became adults. Good heavens, first, he told He Yu Zhu to make the two siblings drop out of school, then when the two siblings came to borrow tuition fees, he didn’t give them a penny, the two siblings must have resented him. It was already difficult to get forgiveness from them, now there was another postman, who was making things difficult for him, if he didn’t satisfy him, he would definitely go to the police, then he would be finished!
"I, I’ll pay double, I’ll pay double, four thousand yuan!"
"Haha, if you had paid four thousand yuan earlier, I wouldn’t have said a word, but now you’re paying four thousand yuan, I’m telling you, it’s too late!"
If he had a knife in his hand, Yi Zhong Hai would have cut the postman into pieces, why was he so troublesome?
Deaf Old Lady didn’t say anything, but she looked at Sha Zhu with her eyes, trying to get him to say something to Yi Zhong Hai, to plead for him.
However, too much had happened today. Sha Zhu was still wondering why Yi Zhong Hai did this, why didn’t he tell him about He Da Qing’s letters!
Seeing that nobody was speaking for him, Yi Zhong Hai accepted his fate. As long as he could pay and settle things, he would pay whatever it took, otherwise, if he reported to the police, he would have to pay and go to jail!
"Five thousand, take it or leave it!"
