Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 785 Looking for Rainwater
Sha Zhu was detained and locked up in a small dark room of the Public Security Committee. It depends on the follow-up examination of Xu Damao in the hospital before a qualitative decision can be made.

In the back room of No. 95 courtyard, the deaf old lady was also very anxious when she heard the news, but she was experienced and prudent. She did not rush to the Public Security Committee. She asked Yi Zhonghai to find someone to get the news first. She told Yi Zhonghai a name, who was a clerk of the Street Office. Yi Zhonghai understood as soon as he heard it and went out directly.

On the other hand, Xu Wude and his wife also received the news and took Xu Xiaoling directly to the hospital.

After emergency treatment in the hospital, Xu Damao was no longer in serious danger, but he had two broken ribs and internal bleeding. A report of serious injury was finally submitted to the Public Security Committee. Xu's mother cried heartbrokenly, while Xu Wude had a gloomy face and stood outside the hospital smoking. Xu Xiaoling also lay on the hospital bed looking at her brother with tears in her eyes.

After receiving the report from the hospital, the Public Security Committee began to interrogate Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu was as honest as ever and explained the whole story clearly. The Public Security Committee did not make things difficult for him and took him into custody directly.

On the other side, through the introduction of the street office clerk, Yi Zhonghai met the captain of the Public Security Committee. The captain's surname was Niu. He was a retired military officer. He had been there when the Public Security Committee was first established. Captain Niu did not make things difficult for Yi Zhonghai and recounted what had happened. When Yi Zhonghai heard that he was seriously injured, he was shocked.

Finally, Captain Niu also said that this was just a kind of fight, but Sha Zhu seriously injured Xu Damao, which is somewhat in the category of criminal offense. If the victim's family does not forgive He Yuzhu, the Public Security Committee can only hand Sha Zhu over to the public security system, where he will probably be sentenced to a few years, and in serious cases, more than ten years.

Yi Zhonghai, who had fully understood the situation, immediately returned to the courtyard and told the deaf old lady about it. The deaf old lady thought for a moment and said, "Come on, Zhonghai, take me to the hospital. We'll go see Xu Damao. Oh, buy some canned fruit or something. Oh, ask Secretary Zhang to go with us. I'll pay for him to buy a pack of cigarettes."

That night, Yi Zhonghai took the deaf old lady to the hospital. Xu Wude was standing at the door of the ward. When he saw the two of them and a stranger following behind them, he didn't look at them well and said, "What are you doing here? Are you here to make fun of my Damao? We don't welcome you."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "No, Lao Xu, we have been neighbors for so many years. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. There is no deep hatred. It is Shazhu who is wrong this time. We are here to see Damao too."

The deaf old lady was very serious. She stared at Xu Wude for a long time, then sighed and said, "Wood, we all know each other well. We came here to see Damao and, secondly, Shazhu made a mistake. But, no one is perfect, and he is still young. Can you forgive him this time?"

Xu Wood snorted coldly and said, "My son is still unconscious in bed and hasn't woken up yet. You guys are so good that you want me to forgive the murderer who beat my son first. You are really good."

At this time, Xiao Zhang, an official behind him, said, "Hello, Comrade Xu. I'm from the street office. My last name is Zhang. I'm just here to visit Xu Damao. Can you let us in?"

When Xu Wude heard this, he realized that they came to see whether Xu Damao's condition was as serious as the Public Security Committee said. They came to find out the truth. Xu Wude's face was gloomy. He pushed open the door of the ward and several people filed in.

At this time, Xu Damao was lying on the hospital bed with his shirt off. There was not a single piece of healthy skin on his body. It was all bruised and purple. His head and chest were wrapped in bandages, with only two eyes exposed on his head.

As soon as Xu Ma saw the newcomers, she stood up and shouted, "Who asked you to come? Get out! You are not welcome in our home."

The deaf old lady was about to open her mouth when Xu Wude said, "Okay, you've seen the person, I won't keep you here any longer. If you have anything to say, wait until my son wakes up." The three men saw that the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai gently shook their heads, and then Yi Zhonghai said a few words of concern, and the three men left. Yi Zhonghai returned home and helped the deaf old lady to his own home. Li Cuilan quickly brought dinner, and Yi Zhonghai began to eat it in big mouthfuls, while the deaf old lady drank a bowl of millet porridge.

When they were almost done eating, the deaf old lady said, "Shazhu has gotten into big trouble this time. I guess Xu Wood will ask for a lot."

Yi Zhonghai has his own ideas. He will definitely not pay any money. He now only treats Sha Zhu as a backup and has not yet paid enough for Sha Zhu. The deaf old lady may pay part of the money, but it will definitely not be enough. The final money will have to be paid by Sha Zhu. But both of them know that Sha Zhu does not have a penny in savings, otherwise he would not have cheated He Yushui of money during the New Year.

Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively: "Should we look for He Yushui? After all, she is her brother. She should have some money. Even if she doesn't have money, doesn't she still have a house?"

When the deaf old lady heard this, her eyes lit up instantly. As long as she didn't have to pay, anything was fine. He Yushui could see at a glance that her father had left a lot of money for her. Half of Yi Zhonghai's compensation last time was given to He Yushui.

The deaf old lady nodded and said, "Okay, go look for her, and bring her back to our yard when you find her. Okay, I'm tired, I'll go back first, Cuilan, come and see me off."

Li Cuilan helped the deaf old lady to the backyard. Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and thought about how to deal with the matter.

Wang Zhan and He Yushui didn't know about Sha Zhu's situation yet, so they went to school as usual the next day. However, during the break, their homeroom teacher, Mr. Yang, came and found He Yushui, saying that someone was looking for him at the door for an urgent matter.

He Yushui arrived at the door confused, and saw that it was an old man. Yi Zhonghai waved to her, and He Yushui walked over and said, "Hello, old man, what can I do for you?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Go back to the courtyard after school today. Something happened to your brother, and the old lady wants to discuss it with you."

He Yushui was stunned and asked, "What happened to my brother? What do you want to discuss with me? I'm still a student. If you want to talk to you, you should talk to He Daqing. My brother has his phone number."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, but he immediately rejected the idea of ​​looking for He Daqing. He looked at He Yushui and said, "You can go back first and make sure to come back in the evening."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for He Yushui's reaction. He Yushui frowned, turned around and went back to the classroom, and sat there in a daze. When Wang Zhan saw He Yushui's look, he knew something was wrong, so he pulled He Yushui out of the classroom.

Xiao Si, who was sitting in the front, rolled his eyes and called Fei Qing and Da Lao Tie to follow.
