Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 383

He had a good relationship with Sun Tie and others, but it wasn't worth using those relationships for them.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was so reasonable, He Daqing nodded in satisfaction. The Xu family was no good either; they were ruthless when it came to ripping people off.

After having dinner at home, He Yuzhu went out and walked back to Qianmen Hutong. When he returned, he saw a mark on Xu Zhaodi's door.

The two parties had previously agreed that if Xu Zhaodi made a mark at the door, it meant she needed to contact him.

He Yuzhu didn't rush back to his own home; instead, he pushed open the door and went inside first.

Upon entering the main room, Xu Zhaodi and her younger sister were playing with the child.

When Zhao Di saw him come in, she quickly invited him to sit down. Her younger sister poured him some tea and placed it in front of her. Then she took her little nephew and went into the inner room.

Zhao Di sat directly on He Yuzhu's lap and said with a wronged look, "Zhu Zi, you must rescue Da Mao this time."

"You've overestimated me this time. The police station has witnesses. What am I supposed to do?" He Yuzhu said helplessly.

"You can't do anything about it? Don't you have a good relationship with the police station?"

“If it were a small matter, people would give me face, but this person was injured, and in the most critical place, an unmarried young man who will never be able to have children. How can this be a small matter?”

"This..." Xu Zhaodi knew that her request was somewhat difficult, but right now He Yuzhu was the only powerful figure she could rely on. If she didn't ask him, who else could she ask?

He Yuzhu said, "Besides, Yi Zhonghai is watching helplessly from the sidelines. Even if I have the ability to get Xu Damao out and put him in jail, Yi Zhonghai will definitely not let it go and will petition and report it."

Xu Zhaodi was now completely desperate, and tears streamed down her face.

"Is there really no way to solve this?"

"Actually, it's not that there's no way. The root of the problem lies with Yi Zhonghai. If we can get Yi Zhonghai's forgiveness, Da Mao's crime will be much lighter."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaodi frowned.

Yi Zhonghai, who hates the Xu family the most, will certainly not easily choose to forgive them now that he has the chance to get revenge.

This approach is simply not feasible.

After discussing the matter for a long time without finding a solution, He Yuzhu went back.

Xu Huizhen asked, "Why are you back so late today?"

"It's all about Xu Damao."

He Yuzhu recounted what had happened that day.

Xu Huizhen said, "You deserve it. I'm telling you, don't be soft-hearted."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, with Yi Zhonghai watching me like a hawk, I don't want to get involved in this mess."

"You just understand."

The next morning, He Yuzhu did not go to work first, but went to the police station first.

I had a chat with Sun Tie and that's how I learned the exact details of the matter.

The police station has indeed found witnesses who can prove that Xu Damao and Xiao Du were the ones who put the sacks on Yi Wending and his brother.

Xu Damao was the one who kicked Yi Wending in the groin. He has confessed and his statement has been recorded.

He Yuzhu had a question he was very concerned about: "When the two of them were talking, did they deliberately mention He Daqing?"

"Is that another way of saying it?" Sun Tie asked.

"Yes, after the Yi family was beaten, they came to our house and insisted that we were the ones who injured them."

He Yuzhu recounted the argument from the first day, which infuriated Sun Tie.

"You wait here while I go ask."

A moment later, Sun Tie returned and said, "Both of them denied ever mentioning the name He Daqing."

He Yuzhu was furious, which was unexpected.

They thought Xu Damao was trying to frame He Daqing and find a scapegoat, so he deliberately mentioned He Daqing's name.

Unexpectedly, it was the brothers Yi Wending and Yi Wensheng who wanted to frame He Daqing and throw mud at him.

This was a brilliant plan. Luckily, He Daqing had witnesses, and Xu Damao was also caught; otherwise, He Daqing would have been in big trouble.

Sun Tie advised, "Although they are shameless, don't be angry. The truth has come out now; it was Xu Damao who did it."

"I know, I won't mess around."

Although He Yuzhu was very angry, he knew that now was not the time to act recklessly.

Let's write this down first, and talk about it later when we have the chance.

Then he asked, "Given the current situation, how many years should Xu Damao be sentenced to?"

“It will take three to five years. He has been in the operating room twice. We went to the hospital to inquire. The attending physician said that Yi Wending’s condition is not optimistic. After these two surgeries, it would be fortunate if he could urinate smoothly. As for becoming a man, that is unlikely.”

"so serious?"

"Yes, the first surgery was quite successful, but for some reason the blood vessel suddenly broke, and I had to go back into the operating room. After all that, the chances of recovery are not very high."

He Yuzhu nodded: "It seems this is God's punishment for bad people."

When He Yuzhu came out of the police station, he wanted to laugh out loud. It was so satisfying!

The two members of the Yi family wanted to shift the blame onto He Daqing, but in the blink of an eye, He Yuzhu severed Yi Wending's blood vessel, forcing him to go into the operating room again.

This could lead to him becoming a eunuch for life.

He Yuzhu returned to the machinery factory, then called his younger sister in and told her everything.

"So, my brother is really going to jail?"

There was still some hope that things could be salvaged, as long as the other party wasn't seriously injured. But after hearing the definite news, I still can't quite believe it.

He Yuzhu said, "Go back and tell your dad that no matter who pleads for you, it won't make a difference unless Yi Zhonghai agrees. Otherwise, this is the only way things will be."

"I understand, I'll call him right away."

Xu Xiaomei immediately called her father and told him everything.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiaomei asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up, "Is there really no other way?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "We can only ask Yi Zhonghai. In the end, this matter is just a fight, not something serious. As long as he can write a letter of understanding, the sentence should be lighter."

Xu Xiaomei looked distressed, wanting Yi Zhonghai to provide a letter of understanding, but that was too difficult. Even if she returned all the benefits she had received over the years, she might not be able to get that letter of understanding.

After getting off work in the afternoon, my younger sister rushed home. The whole family sat together for a long time, discussing the matter, but it seemed that there was no other way but to give in to Yi Zhonghai.

To prevent their only son from going to jail, they don't care about anything else right now, even if it means giving back all the benefits they received from Yi Zhonghai.

In the next few days, if this window of opportunity is missed and Da Mao is sentenced, nothing we do will be of any use.

Xu Wude said, "In that case, let Lao Liu and Zhu Zi act as intermediaries and talk to Yi Zhonghai."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised to receive a call from his younger sister, so he asked, "Is your family really willing to spend money to get Yi Zhonghai's letter of understanding?"

"Yes, it's not like there's no other way. We can't just watch Damao go to jail!"

Money is just an external thing. It's really not worth sending your son to jail for a few thousand dollars.

It's worth noting that Da Mao's salary as a film projectionist wasn't low; it was 35.5 yuan a month, which was the lowest tier.

If you're really going to spend three to five years in jail, it's better to spend a thousand or so yuan to bribe Yi Zhonghai and get a letter of leniency.

"Okay, I'll go back now."

Since they've come to me for help, I should of course step in and do the favor.

He Yuzhu rushed back to the courtyard house. Xu Wude had already invited Liu Haizhong over, and they sat down to talk about the matter.

He Yuzhu and Liu Haizhong both indicated that they could act as the middleman.

The two came out of the backyard and arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house.

Liu Haizhong knocked on the door and heard Yi Zhonghai inside ask, "Who is it? You're here so soon."

“Old Yi, it’s me,” Liu Haizhong replied.

Yi Zhonghai got up and opened the door. He was somewhat surprised to see He Yuzhu there as well, and asked:

"What are you doing here?"

"Let us come in and have a seat," Liu Haizhong said.

"Alright, come in then."

Yi Zhonghai then checked his body and let the two of them in. Yi Wensheng snorted and reluctantly poured them some tea.

Yi Zhonghai cut to the chase: "There's nothing more to say about this. Tell that Xu guy his son is going to jail this time."

"Yes, we will not forgive them."

Yi Wensheng said from the side, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. This time, we must put them in jail. Both father and son are convicts. We'll make sure they can never hold their heads up high again."

Seeing how resolute their attitudes were, Liu Haizhong frowned.

It seems being a middleman isn't easy!

"Calm down, you guys. As the saying goes, it's easier to resolve a feud than to create one. You've been neighbors for decades, so don't be so ruthless."

"Uncle Liu, what you're saying makes it sound like I'm the one who's harming them. You haven't even gone to see how badly our eldest son is injured."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, tears streamed down his face: "Then the things down there can't be used anymore. He's still a child, not married yet, so he can't find a wife in the future. He'll be a bachelor for life."
