My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 187: An elderly woman seeks help from a deaf old lady

After the police took Yi Zhonghai away, the remaining people in the courtyard looked at each other in disbelief. No one expected that the usually respected old man would do such a thing.

At this moment, everyone gathered around, asking Zhang Lei all sorts of questions about what was going on.

Zhang Lei then vividly recounted the whole story: starting from 1951, he described in detail how Yi Zhonghai plotted, how he colluded with the White Widow, how he schemed against He Daqing, and how he intercepted the letters and money of the Sha Zhu siblings.

Everyone looked on incredulously as they listened to Zhang Lei's words.

However, when they saw He Daqing and He Yushui standing to the side, and thought about the letters that had just been searched from Yi Zhonghai's house, they had no choice but to believe that it was true.

Although He Daqing had been gone for almost eight years, many people in the courtyard still recognized him. He Daqing quickly greeted everyone, and his attitude was quite polite.

Afterwards, Zhang Lei followed He Daqing and He Yushui into the He family home.

After entering the house, Zhang Lei looked at He Daqing and said seriously, "Uncle He, because of your family's matter, I have completely offended Yi Zhonghai. You can't let him off the hook, or I'll be in big trouble."

He Daqing looked at Zhang Lei and said through gritted teeth, "Don't worry, I'll definitely kill him! He dared to scheme against me, against my son and daughter. You can't expect me to swallow this!"

When Zhang Lei heard He Daqing say this, he nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "By the way, Uncle He, there are two more things."

He Daqing looked at Zhang Lei: "Which two things?"

Zhang Lei said, "First, there's your son, Shazhu. He doesn't know the specifics yet. When you go to the hospital to see him later, make sure to explain everything to him clearly, so he doesn't act recklessly."

He Daqing nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital and explain this to him later."

Zhang Lei continued, "The second thing is that deaf old lady. I don't know what tricks she has up her sleeve, but I guess you probably know something about her. I just saw an older woman go looking for her, so be careful."

Hearing Zhang Lei's words, He Daqing sneered: "I know what you're saying. But don't underestimate your Uncle He. Although I haven't been around Beijing for many years, I haven't lost my connections. If she doesn't behave herself, I don't mind going to have a go at her."

Zhang Lei chatted with He Daqing for a while before leaving and returning to his own home.

Meanwhile, at the courtyard house, the sudden arrival of He Daqing and the taking of Yi Zhonghai away by the police caused an uproar.

Everyone was talking about it, each offering their own opinion.

Some say that Yi Zhonghai seemed honest and kind, but no one expected him to do such a despicable thing; others say that He Daqing returned after eight years away and brought the police to arrest people, which is too ruthless.

The entire courtyard was enveloped in a tense yet exciting atmosphere, with everyone speculating about what would happen next.

In the backyard, an older woman was sobbing as she recounted to a deaf old lady how Yi Zhonghai had been taken away.

After listening, the deaf old woman sighed heavily and said, "I told him a long time ago to destroy everything, all the evidence, but he wouldn't listen. Now that he's caught red-handed, we're in a much more passive position."

Upon hearing this, the older woman cried even harder, grabbing the deaf old woman's hand and saying, "Grandma, I beg you, please save Lao Yi! How can I live without him? Our whole family will be ruined."

She cried as she said, "I never expected that He Daqing would actually come back, and that he would immediately call the police without leaving any room for negotiation."

The deaf old woman, hearing the middle-aged woman spouting useless nonsense, scolded her directly, "Enough! Shut your mouth! Help me to find He Daqing!"

The woman was so frightened that she trembled and quickly shut her mouth, not daring to say another word.

Upon hearing the deaf old lady's words, He Daqing quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Soon, the deaf old lady arrived at the He family home, supported by an older woman and He Daqing.

At this moment, He Daqing had just finished packing his things, and He Yushui was also helping to tidy up the house.

Upon seeing the middle-aged woman and the deaf old lady at the door, He Daqing went up to them with a smile and said, "Grandma, it's been so many years! How have you been?"

The deaf old woman looked at He Daqing and said softly, "Thank you for your concern. My health is thanks to Xiao Yi and his wife taking care of me; otherwise, these old bones of mine would have been buried long ago!"

He Daqing's smile froze slightly as he listened to the deaf old lady's words.

He Daqing looked at the deaf old lady and said bluntly, "Grandma, you're here to plead for Yi Zhonghai, right? If so, then you don't need to say anything."

The deaf old woman's eyes darkened as she looked at He Daqing and said, "He Daqing, are you really going to go this far?"

He Daqing sneered and said, "It's not that I've gone too far, it's that you've gone too far! Eight years, a full eight years! You've made a fool of me! What kind of life have my daughter and son lived for these eight years? You cut off their livelihood and their livelihood, you severed the bond between us, father and daughter, and now you expect me to tolerate this?"

Hearing He Daqing's words, the deaf old lady sighed, her tone softening: "Daqing, I know you're angry, but what's done is done, we need to move on. If you have any conditions, you can name them. Whether it's possible or not, I, this old lady, will try my best to help you. I promise you won't suffer any losses, how about that?"

Hearing the deaf old woman's words, He Daqing shook his head and said firmly, "No. It would be fine if it were just me alone, but now, this is not just my problem."

Upon hearing He Daqing's words, an older woman immediately stood up, crying and pleading, "He Daqing, I beg you, please forgive my husband, Lao Yi! He was just confused for a moment!"

Looking at the middle-aged woman's appearance, He Daqing sneered, "Alright, stop playing the victim. A moment of confusion? Is this something that happened in just a day or two? It's been almost eight years! You're telling me this was just a moment of confusion? Do you think I, He Daqing, am easy to fool?"

Hearing He Daqing's words, the deaf old lady's face darkened. She slammed her cane on the ground, making a "thud" sound, and said, "Although Yi Zhonghai was wrong, your own hands aren't clean either, are they? Do you really want to fight to the death?"

He Daqing looked at the deaf old woman without fear and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Yi Zhonghai has gone too far and must pay the price!"

Hearing He Daqing say this, the deaf old lady knew there was no point in continuing the conversation. She gave He Daqing a deep look, then turned to the older woman and said, "Let's go, let's go!"
