The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Page 363

Moreover, they were investigated in a public place.

It's slander, defamation, and false accusation, so you don't need to say anything more; it's your fault.

"You'd better come back with me and accept your punishment!"

Chapter 234: Old Yi, save me!

Upon hearing the police officer's words, the three women realized what was happening and quickly pleaded for leniency:

"Officer, we're sorry, we only meant well!"

Upon hearing what the third aunt said, Yan Bugui was stunned. Was his wife telling him to die?

What kind of kindness is this?

Yan Bugui said:

"Officer, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. I just didn't want our country's assets to be lost!"

The police officer asked coldly:

"Did you ask them? Do you know the inside story? Since you're in the same compound, do you know anything about their situation?"

You know nothing, yet you report someone based on mere conjecture?

Yes, in your eyes, this is well-intentioned, but what about the reputation that others lose, and what about the people who point fingers and gossip if they don't know the truth?

If everyone were as kind as you, how could this country survive?

take away! "

Yan Bugui knew he was doomed, but he never expected that He Yuzhu would actually be unharmed.

The crowd outside, eager to watch the spectacle, gathered in front of Yan Bugui's house.

Jia Zhangshi said to Qin Huairu:

"See? This is what happens. He Yuzhu went to university."

If there really was a problem, would he have gone to such lengths to give his sister a car?

They're so jealous they're not even using their brains!

Those around her were surprised that Jia Zhangshi had such insight.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai returned, and Yan Bugui quickly called out:

"Old Yi, Old Yi, save me!"

Yi Zhonghai was taken aback. It had been a long time since anyone had said such a thing, but Yi Zhonghai had no intention of getting involved in the messy affairs of the courtyard house.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai being arrested, Yi Zhonghai didn't know what was going on, but he didn't go to the police station to ask.

Instead, he looked at the people around him and then asked in a low voice:

"How is this going?"

Those nearby, knowing what had happened, explained:

"What else could have happened? They went to the He family to propose marriage, but the He family refused. They then warned them not to spread rumors, or they would destroy the family."

Although it was a threat, the third uncle felt that He Yuzhu was disrespecting him.

Then they reported He Yuzhu, accusing him of embezzling state property.

After investigation, it was found that He Yuzhu had done nothing wrong, so that's how the Third Uncle ended up.

"Slandering and falsely accusing a public official—isn't that enough to get you arrested?"

Hearing what the people around him were saying, Yi Zhonghai thought to himself:

Thankfully, I didn't go. If I had, I don't know how He Daqing and He Yuzhu would have remembered me.

I have three children now, so I can't afford to offend them.

Yi Zhonghai remained silent, but Yan Bugui spoke loudly:

"Old Yi, sir, please help me find He Yuzhu and plead for him!"

Yi Zhonghai would not agree to this, because if he pleaded for leniency, he would definitely be rebuffed and would also offend He Yuzhu.

After all, if Yan Bugui had succeeded in this matter, He Yuzhu's fate would have been far worse than that of a false accusation.

If things go wrong, the whole family will suffer, and you'll end up eating peanuts too.

How could I possibly plead for you when you treat people like that?

Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear, glanced at Yan Bugui, and did not agree.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai did not agree, Yan Bugui said to the three aunts:

"Wife, go and find He Yuzhu. As long as he can forgive me, I'll be fine!"

Director Guo said to the police:

"Now that he's been arrested, let's get back to our business."

If you have any questions, just come to my office and find me. The rest is up to you!

The police officers who followed nodded:

"Don't worry, the country has its own laws. It won't wrong anyone, nor will it let bad people go unpunished."

Director Guo nodded and left with his men. The police also took Yan Bugui, who was constantly being interrogated by the children, away.

As Yan Bugui was dragged away, the third aunt shouted from behind:

"The boss, the boss, the boss..."

But no matter how much they shouted, the police took the three women away.

The three women finally realized what was happening and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Grandpa, please, you're the oldest man in our compound, can you please help me get a letter of leniency from He Yuzhu?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said:

"If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences of it. I remember that your teacher, Mr. Yan, said that."

Besides, how am I supposed to plead for leniency in this matter?

When you made the false accusation, did you not consider that He Yuzhu might not be able to produce evidence to prove his innocence?

So what became of He Yuzhu?

The three women were taken aback. How could they not know? Since they were going to report it, they believed that He Yuzhu couldn't produce any evidence.

However, the three aunties didn't say this, but Yi Zhonghai did:

"Since your spouse wants to kill He Yuzhu, what do you think will happen to anyone who goes to plead with He Yuzhu now?"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned and went back to the Intermediate People's Court.

Seeing that there was nothing more to see, the others also went home.

When Jia Zhangshi returned home, she didn't say anything, but started cooking. Jia Zhangshi knew that if she didn't work, she wouldn't have anything to eat.

Qin Huairu sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), seemingly lost in thought.

Yi Zhonghai returned home, then looked at the middle-aged woman in the room and asked:

"With so much happening, why don't you go out?"

The older woman recounted what had happened that day, saying that she had originally intended to go out.

But then Director Wang arrived, bringing up the Xu family's affairs, and the fight between the second and third aunts.

After finishing speaking, he said:

"I didn't want to cause trouble and affect our children, so I didn't go out!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded:

“That’s right, you did the right thing, that’s the right way. If He Yuzhu holds a grudge against me.”

If he targets us, what will happen to our children?

So you're right. By the way, go buy some good food, I'll go pick up the kids.

"Cook something nice when you get back, and invite the old lady over tonight!"
