Chapter 814: Chapter 815: 1960s Quadrangle Courtyard 63

Yan Fugui thought he was talking about the incident where Sha Zhu was injured, "No one wanted this to happen, and no one expected Lady Jia Zhang to go so far."

"That’s one aspect, and there’s also the living expenses I’ve been mailing back for Yu Shui all these years, which Old Yi never gave to Yu Shui."

He Daqing helplessly waved his hand and went home.

What? He Daqing did not neglect He Yushui, he even sent money back? Yan Fugui was astounded by the news.

He looked at his wife incredulously, "Wife, I didn’t hear it wrong, did I?"

Sister San also felt dizzy, "He sent money back?"

"I just don’t know." Yan Fugui quickly reacted, criticizing Yi Zhonghai for acting unethically.

He suddenly realized, "Could it be that Yi Zhonghai embezzled this money?"

Thinking of this, Sister San remembered something, "Old Yan, do you remember, I mentioned before that I used to see the remittance slips to Yi Zhonghai every month."

"Of course, I remember." Such incidents happened so frequently that Yan Fugui was naturally curious.

"I remember at that time Old Yi said that this money was from his relatives."

"Could this relative be Old He?"

"If that’s really the case, it makes sense." Yan Fugui looked towards the central courtyard, "Old Yi’s days won’t be easy."

Sha Zhu has become a father-in-law, and Yu Shui is skin and bones, coupled with the issue of taking over the money, no one would let Yi Zhonghai off.

"Isn’t his income very high?" Even if his income is low now, but previously, including bonuses and such, it was surely 90 per month.

Just the two of them as an old couple, always saving money in various ways, who knows how much money they could have saved, why would he take over that sum of money.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t understand it, clearly, they should be the least financially troubled in the entire courtyard, why would it be like this.

The return of He Daqing and the fact that Yi Zhonghai took over He Yushui’s living expenses were quickly known to everyone in the courtyard.

As the people who worked at the steel factory came back, the people in the courtyard found out that He Daqing had actually escalated the matter, reporting it to the police, and Yi Zhonghai had already been arrested.

Qin Huairu felt dizzy upon hearing this news, unable to understand why Yi Zhonghai would take over that sum of money.

She is now worried about whether Yi Zhonghai could be released, as some people said that if the charges were proven, he would have to serve many years in prison.

This truly shocked Qin Huairu, and she was worried. After Jia Dongxu was arrested, there was no income at home, and they relied on Sha Zhu’s earnings.

Furthermore, Lady Jia Zhang acted inhumanely by stabbing Sha Zhu; she went to the hospital that day and cried a bit, which softened her heart a little.

She even thought about taking the opportunity to cry more, certainly to make Sha Zhu change his mind, but unexpectedly He Daqing came back.

But this scared her a lot, always feeling that the other party was watching her, making her afraid to make a move.

It was already distressing enough, but then Yi Zhonghai also got arrested, what to do?

Yi Zhonghai was already too busy to take care of himself, would he still look after her?

With no income at home, and three mouths to feed, how could she get by, Qin Huairu looked very troubled.

Upon arriving home, He Daqing greeted the people he knew and asked about the situation of the Jia Family.

Through the descriptions of some people, he learned a lot of the details, especially why Sha Zhu supported the Jia Family, he also understood.

Originally feeling a bit guilty about Yi Zhonghai, but now, he only had one thought, that was, he absolutely could not let this guy off.

He Daqing looked gloomily at Qin Huairu, knowing that Yi Zhonghai had been detained, and was terribly anxious as well.

She hadn’t expected that He Yushui’s suggestion for her to return and rest was actually to facilitate a meeting between He Daqing and He Yuzhu.

What to do? Naturally, Qin Huairu knew about He Daqing sending money back home since she was the one signing for each remittance receipt.

She had mentioned before that since the money was meant for He Yushui’s living expenses, it should go to her, but every time it ended up being swindled by Yi Zhonghai.

Now, she sighed softly, "Old He, about this matter, I’d like to explain a thing or two."

Regardless, Yi Zhonghai absolutely must not be incarcerated, otherwise he would be jobless and their future would be in jeopardy.

"No need for explanations." He Daqing did not want to encounter anyone associated with Yi Zhonghai at the moment.

"No amount of explanations or reasons can cover up the fact that Yi Zhonghai embezzled the living expenses I sent to Yushui."

"If any of you had taken the money and looked after Yushui a little, I’d have recognized that."

"But have you ever cared for her?"

"When Sha Zhu was not home and there was nothing to eat, she went to knock on Deaf Old Lady’s door and your door as well, have you ever opened it?"

"The little food you gave her amounted to just a couple of corn buns."

"If it wasn’t for Zhang Hao, the poor girl wouldn’t know what to do."

"You were only concerned about sending Sha Zhu to help feed the gluttonous Lady Jia Zhang, how come you never noticed such a skinny He Yushui."

"Indeed, after all, you two were certain Jia Dongxu would provide for your old age, of course you’d want him to live well."

"I, He Daqing, am usually insightful about people, but I didn’t expect you had concealed this so deeply."

"Today, I made Yushui undergo a medical check-up, and the doctor said her health situation is very poor."

"They mentioned her eating patterns are irregular, mostly because she goes hungry too often. If Sha Zhu lacked the ability to take care of his sister, I wouldn’t have anything to say."

"But he clearly could have taken care of his sister, if only because of you..." He Daqing’s mood is very distressing right now.

His son is already useless, and now to find out that his daughter is also in poor health, he is extraordinarily furious.

"I am now demanding Yi Zhonghai to return the money plus interest, and as for the prison sentence, let it be as many years as necessary."

Forget it, let’s not cause more trouble. He Daqing also knows that once Yi Zhonghai is put away, it would essentially ruin him completely.

Qin Huairu certainly knew that the money had to be repaid. She thought that once it was returned, the person should be released, but unexpectedly, he still had to be detained.

Desperate to plead with He Daqing, but upon seeing his displeased expression, she knew he would absolutely not yield.

Extremely anxious and feeling helpless, Qin Huairu eventually had no choice but to seek out Deaf Old Lady, hoping that her wide network might facilitate Yi Zhonghai’s release.

Deaf Old Lady has been upset since learning that Sha Zhu was crippled as she had hoped that Sha Zhu would marry and give her many chubby grandchildren.

It was not expected that Sha Zhu would never be able to be a father, which truly angered the old lady,

and she no longer desired to see Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Seeing Qin Huairu at her doorstep, the old lady’s expression was very unpleasant.

"Old lady, He Daqing has returned, and Yi Zhonghai has been detained," Qin Huairu quickly relayed the situation.

She knew that the old lady was dissatisfied with them regarding Sha Zhu’s issue, but given the urgency of the situation, she still had to ask for her help.

Of course, Deaf Old Lady knew about Yi Zhonghai keeping the living expenses; what she didn’t expect was, "Why would He Daqing return?"
