Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 137 Is Lao Xu a robber?

"boom!"

Although there were various speculations before, He Yuzhu still caused an uproar when he announced the results to everyone.

"This is impossible, how can this be possible?"

"I didn't expect Lao Xu to be able to rob."

“It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.”

"It's wrong for Lao Xu, but it's even more wrong for Lao Yi to report it."

"Yes, Lao Xu has gone in. How will the Xu family live from now on?"

"I heard that Lao Xu borrowed more than 300 yuan. Will he starve to death in the future?"

"."

At first, they were surprised that Lao Xu would commit robbery. Then Lao Xu began to sympathize and accused Yi Zhonghai of wrongdoing.

After all, ordinary people sympathize with the weak. Although Lao Xu made a mistake, he is going to jail now. No matter what mistake he made, he will get sympathy.

And everyone is spreading the rumor that it was Yi Zhonghai who exposed Lao Xu's affair out of revenge, and Xu Wood spent 1000 yuan to settle the matter.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned livid when he heard these accusations. This was an unforeseen disaster. How could he be so unlucky?

Everyone in the Xu family was a little dumbfounded. They thought it was a minor problem, just a detention at most, and they made a fuss to get Yi Zhonghai to withdraw the report. Just like the last time Yi Zhonghai instigated Xu Damao to kill He Yuzhu, the matter was quickly over. Xu Wood can also come out quickly.

But if he committed robbery, wouldn't he be imprisoned or maybe shot?

Xu Damao walked up to him absently, got the detention notice from He Yuzhu, and then returned to the chair.

Xu Damao's mother asked anxiously: "Is what Zhuzi said true? Is your father really guilty of robbery?"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "It doesn't say what crime my father has committed, but my father will be detained and awaiting trial."

Although Xu Damao's mother was illiterate, the red seal on the notice was so dazzling. When her son said this, she believed it in her heart. She was so angry that she pointed her finger at Yi Zhonghai. She fainted just as she was about to curse. past.

Fortunately, both Xu sisters were there and took their mother's arm in time to prevent her from sitting on the ground.

Several women came forward to help, pinching Ren Zhong and trying to wake him up, but Xu Damao's mother had lost her spirit and was nagging a little. She just shouted that Xu Wood was wronged and was framed by a bad gangster named Yi.

Everyone had no choice but to take her home. Xu Damao didn't bother scolding Yi Zhonghai and went back to take care of his mother.

Seeing that the remaining crowd had dispersed, they also left in twos and threes. That is, Jia Dongxu ran to Yi Zhonghai to comfort him for a while and show his loyalty.

Since the implementation of the First Five-Year Plan in 2006, the steel rolling mill has also entered a stage of expansion and has recruited many apprentices.

Jia Dongxu originally lost his job at the steel rolling mill because of being imprisoned. He could only do odd jobs and was not allowed to enter the factory.

But Jia Dongxu still had some lathe skills. With this shareholder's wind and the operation of Yi Zhonghai, he re-entered the steel rolling mill and became a formal worker.

The Jia family also recovered and had a stable income again.

He Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to them. He said a few words to He Daqing and left the courtyard.

The next day, Xu Damao and his family were still pestering Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to go to the police station with them.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to withdraw the report, but robbery was a criminal case, not a civil dispute, and could not be withdrawn. The Xu family was very disappointed.

Yi Zhonghai took out a letter of understanding, and everyone pleaded for mercy, saying that Xu Wood was not harmful and asked for a lighter sentence.

Ye Dapeng said: "We have also considered this matter and will report it to the prosecutor's office and give him a lighter sentence as appropriate."

Then he explained: "Our police station is only responsible for the investigation of the case, and we have to wait for the court to pronounce the verdict."

The Xu family has been crying for several days, thinking about how Xu Wood will go to jail, how will this family live?

After leaving the police station, the Xu family still pestered Yi Zhonghai, giving Yi Zhonghai a huge headache.

Summer days are very difficult, especially when there is no electric fan. Even if there is an electric fan, it is useless at this time. The voltage is extremely unstable. The light bulbs flicker on and off due to the voltage. There are often various problems. Reason for power outage.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu prepared a lot of ice cubes, which could cool down a little.

These days, He Yuzhu has confirmed that Xu Huizhen is pregnant. Of course, he cannot live a happy life and can only work hard as a monk.

Only occasionally during the day, I would run to the front door and use Chen Xueru to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

He Yuzhu's life was still very happy, but Yi Zhonghai had been living in dire straits.

Until the day when Xu Wood was sentenced, He Yuzhu, as the most successful businessman in the courtyard, also went to listen with several uncles including He Daqing.

In the solemn People's Court, He Yuzhu was still surprised to hear that Xu Wood was finally sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

I thought it would only take two or three years, but I didn't expect that it would last up to four and a half years. During this period, Xu Wood would not be seen again.

He Yuzhu felt secretly happy that your family had joined forces to plot against him, but this time it was completely over.

Xu Damao walked slowly while supporting his mother. He had already inquired about it from various channels and had expectations in his heart. He was relatively calm in the face of the four-and-a-half-year sentence.

Xu Zhaodi suddenly turned around and bit her lip tightly, glanced at He Yuzhu with some resentment, then turned back and walked forward.

"You're crazy, do you still want to blame yourself?"

He Yuzhu muttered in his heart, slowed down, fell behind the crowd, and made up his mind.

Although Xu Zhaodi also has the charm of a young girl, she will rarely interact with Xu Zhaodi in the future. This girl is not a good person.

Coming here to attend Xu Wood's sentencing today is just one thing, and there is another more important thing to do next.

Everyone returned to the courtyard together and held a meeting in front of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Present here are the three elders in charge of the courtyard, He Daqing and He Yuzhu, father and son, and of course the Xu family.

Xu Xiaomei poured tea for everyone, and then no one spoke. They drank the boiled water in their hands silently. It was as delicious as fine wine.

After a while, it was Liu Haizhong who spoke first: "Everyone, please don't be silent. Brothers and sisters of the Xu family, Damao, what do you think?"

Without Xu Wood to go to work, Xu Damao's mother no longer works as a servant in the Lou family, and Xu Zhaodi has no job. Xu Damao only earns an apprentice's salary, so it is difficult to support the family.

Today's meeting is to solve this problem.

Xu Damao coughed, and then said: "You guys still have Zhuzi, and you guys also know that my father's surname is Yi and he was sent to prison. Therefore, from now on, we will have to be supported by people named Yi. Isn't this too much to ask?"

"Who asked your father to knock on the road and rob?" Yi Zhonghai immediately retorted.

"Who told you to be evil-minded? Why should you write a report letter?" The Xu family was pestered every day and had no choice. Previously, Yi Zhonghai had taken Xu Damao to find Cheng Dayuan.

At that time, the note had been thrown away by Chen Dayuan. Although he could not find it, he generally remembered the contents of the letter.

Especially the sentence that mentioned the old fitter. When Cheng Dayuan said this, Yi Zhonghai was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

I originally thought that my grievances could be washed away, but now it was completely confirmed that the report letter was written by Yi Zhonghai.

After all, there are not many old fitters in the steel rolling mill, and the only one who has conflicts with Xu Wood is Yi Zhonghai, who lives in the same yard.

So Xu Damao insisted that it was Yi Zhonghai who was causing the trouble. Otherwise, why would Cheng Dayuan treat Yi Zhonghai as a guest and give him gifts?

The Xu family couldn't survive, so they had to look for Yi Zhonghai to take care of them. If they couldn't support them, they would have to live and eat at the Yi family every day.

That's why today's meeting took place. Everyone in the courtyard was here to discuss a solution.

Yan Bugui said: "Lao Yi, this is what you promised before, just tell them how much you will give them every month."

He Daqing also said: "Lao Yi, you should give me this money. It won't be enough if it's less, otherwise they won't be able to survive."

He Daqing was happy as long as he could see Yi Zhonghai suffer a loss. Although he hooked up with Aunt Yi a few times, he still felt unhappy. If there was a chance to add insult to injury, He Daqing would definitely push her.

Yi Zhonghai shouted: "I wanted to compensate him, but the 30 yuan they asked for was too much."

"How many? Not much, right?" Liu Haizhong said.

Among the three courtyard masters, Yi Zhonghai is the oldest and has the highest prestige. This makes Yi Zhonghai vaguely the leader of the three, which makes Liu Haizhong very unhappy.

Xu Damao shouted: "How much is that? My father's salary is more than 30 yuan a month. If I only ask you for 30 yuan, it will give you an advantage."

He Yuzhu asked: "What other conditions are there?"

Xu Damao said: "We will also give us one thousand yuan at a time to pay off the previous debt."

"What? Another thousand yuan? Isn't your account only over 300?" Yi Zhonghai shouted.

Xu Damao said: "Because of your report, Mr. Cheng asked our family for 1000 yuan. Of course you have to pay this money."

Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood. He co-operated with Xu Wood to hook up with the little widow. He had to pay for the money he was cheated by?

"This won't work. I won't pay for it. If you want to say that, then let's go to the police station to reason. Should your father and his widow be sentenced to prison?"

As the saying goes, if the people do not punish the officials, Xu Wood will certainly not take the initiative to confess to the police comrades. After all, that matter is also a very serious crime.

Of course, Xu Damao couldn't go to the police station and expose his father's scandal.

Everyone was a little cold for a while, and He Yuzhu said: "I think this 1000 yuan is indeed a lot."

"Yeah yeah."

"It's indeed too much."

"But if you don't give it to the Xu family and you still owe money, that's not okay."

He Yuzhu said: "I think this is the case. I'll give Xu Damao four hundred yuan to pay off the debt. Then there will be no external debts in the future and he can live a peaceful life."

"Isn't 400 yuan a lot? He can also make money to pay off the debt."

Yi Zhonghai retorted.

He Daqing said: "Zhuzi is right, you should pay off the debt for him. The boss, Xu Zhaodi, is not young anymore. He wants to help me find a job, and you have to help her with her marriage. When the time comes, you will I also want to give her a dowry and marry her off in a glorious way."

He Daqing not only confirmed He Yuzhu's proposal to repay the 400 yuan, but also talked about Xu Zhaodi's marriage.

After all, Xu Zhaodi is quite young now. She is looking for a job and getting engaged.

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to bargain, and everyone started to persuade him. Yi Zhonghai had the highest salary in the courtyard before. Everyone had this tacit understanding, and this time he could let him go again.

Everyone agreed, and Yi Zhonghai had to accept that after all, this plan was less than half of the 1000 yuan, and he only needed to pay 400 yuan more.

But I still feel something is wrong. My monthly salary is 60 yuan, half of which is given to the Xu family, and they have to spend 400 yuan from their savings.

Doesn’t it mean that my life quality will drop a lot?

Especially Xiaobai from Baocheng kept urging him to send money there in order to prepare a family fund for his eldest son so that he could go on a blind date.

These are all places that cost money. If you give it to the Xu family, you will treat your son badly. Yi Zhonghai feels that his life is bleak and he has no future.

Xu Wood was sentenced to four and a half years. While he was in prison, he had to pay the Xu family living expenses every month, which amounted to more than 4 yuan for these four years.

Yi Zhonghai had the intention not to give it, but everyone in the courtyard was forcing him. He sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "I will give it."

The Xu family members all showed long-lost smiles. Although Xu Wood went in, it was also a happy thing to take a piece of meat from Yi Zhonghai.

Otherwise, wouldn't this family be in danger of relying on Xu Damao's salary as an apprentice?

Xu Damao said:

"That's great. Give me 400 yuan first and I'll use it to pay off the debt, and then I'll give you 30 yuan at the beginning of each month."

Yi Zhonghai snorted and ignored him, turned around and entered the room, talking to Aunt Yi for a while, which made Aunt Yi very angry.

Last time, Yi Zhonghai lost 1500 yuan for talking too much. Now that Xu Wood is in, he will have to pay close to 2000 yuan before and after he adds.

Did all this money come from the strong wind?

Aunt Yi couldn't help but quarreled with Yi Zhonghai a few words in the house. Although the voice was very low, it was summer and the doors and windows were not closed, so everyone in the yard could vaguely hear it.

Several people were holding back their laughter and listened to Aunt Yi scolding Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai could only pretend to be a grandson and comfort her with a smiling face.

After a while, Aunt Yi gave up her anger and gave Yi Zhonghai a huge sum of 400 yuan.

Yi Zhonghai walked out of the room sarcastically and threw the small cloth bag containing Da Yang into Liu Haizhong's hand: "You click on it."

He poured it out from the bangs and counted it in public to confirm that there were no problems before handing it over to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, you are also 17 years old this year and have joined the workforce. At this time in the past, you could marry a wife and have children. If this happened to your father, the Xu family will count on you to be the master of the family in the future."

"Well, I understand. Thank you, Uncle Liu, for seeking justice for me."

Then he turned around and said, "Thank you Uncle He, Uncle Yan, and Brother Zhuzi. It's not easy for everyone to get together today. I will be the host tonight. Thank you for helping to uphold justice."

These words were so harsh in Yi Zhonghai's ears that he couldn't help but snort.

Xu Damao was also a man, so he said, "Of course, our family also wants to thank Uncle Yi. Let's have dinner together tonight, right?"

"Forgive it, I won't drink this drink."
