1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 340 The Deaf Old Lady Confused Right and Wrong

"Daqing, Shazhu, please listen to my explanation..."

"Enough!" He Daqing roared, veins bulging on his neck, his eyes bloodshot, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burn Yi Zhonghai completely.

"Yi Zhonghai, the facts are in front of you, and you still want to quibble? I trusted you so much in the beginning and entrusted Shazhu and his sister to you. Not only did you not help them when they were in trouble over the years, but you also held on to the living expenses I sent to them against your conscience. You are only taking it out now, what else do you want to explain?"

At this time, many people from the yard had gathered outside the door.

When the aunt heard the noise in the house, her face was filled with embarrassment.

She knew very well what her husband had done and felt her face burning and ashamed.

People in the yard were talking about it.

"Listen, how can an old man do this?"

"It turns out that He Daqing has been sending money back. How could a great man embezzle the living expenses of Sha Zhu's brother and sister? They were in such a difficult situation back then!"

People's voices were clearly audible, and no one showed any intention of avoiding the old lady, whose face became increasingly paler.

"I can't believe that an old man is such a person."

"How hard it must have been for the Shazhu brothers and sisters these years, alas."

"You are right. I shouldn't have done that. No wonder He Daqing got angry..."

Not far away, Qin Huairu stood at the door of her house, her brows furrowed, her eyes fixed on the movements in the main house.

She knew very well that the family's current life was closely tied to Yi Zhonghai, and if Yi Zhonghai collapsed, it would not be of any benefit to her.

Therefore, she must find a way to help Yi Zhonghai out of trouble as soon as possible.

Now, the Jia family and the He family have no contact, so she can't go in to speak for Yi Zhonghai. After much thought, only the deaf old lady in the backyard can help Yi Zhonghai.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu hurried to the backyard and asked the deaf old lady for help.

"Old lady, please go and take a look. The situation of the eldest master in the He family is not good!"

Qin Huairu said anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

"Ah, how come Xiao Yi can't even do this!"

The deaf old lady frowned and sighed, picked up her cane, and with the help of Qin Huairu, walked towards the He family step by step.

When she reached the door, the deaf old lady stopped and shouted into the house: "Zhu Zi, grandma is here to see you."

Sha Zhu heard the sound and walked out of the house.

When he saw Qin Huairu, his face suddenly darkened and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.

But when he saw the deaf old lady, he still put on a smile: "Grandma, why are you here?"

The deaf old lady smiled and held out her hand: "Zhu Zi, come and help me in. I know all these things."

The deaf old lady was helped into the house by Sha Zhu, and her eyes stayed on Yi Zhonghai for a moment.

Then he said slowly: "Xiao Yi, this matter, to be honest, it's you who is wrong."

She paused, a hint of majesty in her eyes.

"Yes, old lady, you are right. I know I was wrong!"

The moment the deaf old lady entered the room, Yi Zhonghai's eyes brightened as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

So, now he would answer whatever the old lady said.

He knew that the old lady would definitely find a way to help him out.

"Your mistake is that you shouldn't hide your feelings too deeply!"

"Xiao Yi is the eldest brother in the courtyard. Who in the courtyard doesn't know his character? He doesn't care about the living expenses of Sha Zhu and his sister. He really treats Zhu and Yu Shui as his own children!"

The deaf old lady looked at the money on the table and continued, "He was worried that Zhuzi would be short of money and unable to save it. And when Xiulan was sick, Xiaoyi was at a loss. It was me who suggested that he embezzle the money first."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his eyes widened, filled with shock and confusion.

"Grandma, you...you know about this?"

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu and sighed softly, with a trace of love and helplessness in her eyes: "Sha Zhu, grandma didn't tell you for your own good. Your uncle has no children, why does he need so much money? He saved the money for you because he was afraid that you were young and ignorant, and that you would not make progress with the money, and it might even bring disaster upon yourself."

"He really wants your best. Besides, who's child can grow up without falling and fighting? Xiao Yi just wants to train you so that you can shoulder the burden of the He family sooner."

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, the whole place fell into a dead silence.

After a moment, the deaf old lady slowly turned her gaze towards He Daqing. Her eyes seemed to contain comfort, yet also contained unquestionable majesty.

"And you, He Daqing!"

"When you left Sijiu City, you didn't tell me when you would be back. You just left Shazhu and Yushui in the yard. At that time, they were still two immature children. If it weren't for the help and care of these people in the yard, would these two children have been able to grow up safely?"

She paused slightly, her eyes lingering on He Daqing's face, observing the changes in his expression.

"Over the years, Xiao Yi and his wife have been worrying about Sha Zhu and his sister."

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu as she spoke, her eyes full of love, "Look at him now, Zhu has grown so strong, and the raindrops have become so white and clean. Can you say that Xiao Yi didn't have good intentions in this?"

He Daqing was left speechless by this series of questions. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to refute but couldn't find the right words.

His eyes drooped, as if he was recalling something and fell into deep thought.

He knew that the deaf old lady's words were clearly biased towards Yi Zhonghai, but every word she said made sense and he had no reason to refute.

He has indeed owed his children something over the years. He has been away for so many years and has never come back to see his children once. He was wrong in this regard.

When the deaf old lady saw that He Daqing didn't say anything, she was secretly happy. She felt that things were almost turning around, so she thought of striking while the iron was hot and ending this storm as soon as possible.

So he continued, "Since Xiao Yi took out all the money as soon as you came back, doesn't that prove the problem? If he really wanted to embezzle the money, he could have done so many ways. Why did he do this in front of everyone in the hospital and make himself look bad?"

At this time, the people in the yard heard what the deaf old lady said and began to talk in a low voice again, and their voices gradually became louder.

"Yes, the old lady is right. The old man has done a lot of good things for the hospital over the years! If anyone has difficulties, doesn't the old man help them?"

"That's right. An old man only earns 70 or 80 yuan a month. Is it worth it to cheat on that little living expense?"

The neighbors' conversations at the door gradually turned towards Yi Zhonghai.

The deaf old lady listened to the sounds coming from outside, her lips slightly raised, and she was secretly happy in her heart.

As long as they get through this hurdle today, He Daqing won't be able to make a fuss about this matter anymore.

So, the deaf old lady slowly stood up, leaning on her cane, and winked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to support her, "Okay, Daqing, you should put the money away. Don't let such a small matter destroy the relationship between neighbors. It's okay to talk it out. Is it necessary to get so angry? It's rare for you to come back, you should spend some time with the children."

After saying that, the deaf old lady, supported by Yi Zhonghai, slowly walked out of the house.
