Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

After listening to the deaf old woman's story, Yi Zhonghai realized the seriousness of the matter. If it wasn't handled properly, Sha Zhu might really never get out.

"Grandma, I'll go to the hospital to find Xu Damao right away."

"Go."

......

Yi Zhonghai arrived at Xiehe Hospital and learned Xu Damao's ward number from a nurse. He quickly went to Xu Damao's ward and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Please come in."

Upon opening the door, Xu Fugui saw Yi Zhonghai and said with a gloomy face, "Yi Zhonghai, what are you doing here? You're not welcome here."

"Old Xu, that's not right of you. Da Mao was injured and hospitalized. As one of the older men in the community and Da Mao's elder, it's my way of showing my concern to come and see him," Yi Zhonghai said with a fawning smile.

Xu Fugui waved his hand: "Alright, stop pretending. Tell me, what brings you here?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded: "Old Xu, we've been neighbors for decades. Let's not beat around the bush. How can you get Sha Zhu to write a letter of forgiveness?"

"hehe."

Xu Fugui sneered: "Yi Zhonghai, I think you already know the details of the case. My son was beaten into infertility by Sha Zhu, and Da Mao is now childless. You still want me to write a letter of forgiveness for Sha Zhu? You're dreaming."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Old Xu, it's wrong of Sha Zhu to beat Da Mao like this, but it's too late now. Even if Sha Zhu eats peanuts, Da Mao won't recover. Rather than that, why not write a letter of forgiveness for Sha Zhu and have him compensate Da Mao? That way, Da Mao's life will be a little better in the future, won't it?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui and Xu Damao exchanged a glance, and Xu Damao nodded slightly.

Xu Damao reported the incident to the police with the intention of first swindling Sha Zhu out of money, then turning him into a eunuch and making him suffer a fate worse than death. If Xu Damao couldn't have a good life, Sha Zhu would never have a good life either. He was now determined to fight Sha Zhu for life.

Xu Fugui understood Xu Damao's thoughts and immediately said to Yi Zhonghai, "I'm willing to write a letter of understanding, but if the compensation doesn't satisfy me, I'd rather let Shazhu rot in jail to vent my anger."

"Of course."

Yi Zhonghai made a five-pointed hand gesture: "Old Xu, how about five hundred?"

Xu Fugui sneered, "Old Yi, are you kidding me? Increase it tenfold, or forget it."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Old Xu, you know that Sha Zhu simply can't come up with that much money. So, I'll make the decision for Sha Zhu. One thousand it is. Old Xu, don't say anything more. No matter how high your offer is, it's useless if Sha Zhu can't come up with it. If Sha Zhu really goes to jail, you won't get a single penny. What's the point?"

"Two thousand. If it's less than that, you don't need to say anything more. Old Yi, you know me. Do you think I, Xu Fugui, am someone who's short of a few hundred dollars?"

"I'll add another five hundred, Lao Xu. You should know that Sha Zhu can't come up with that much money. In the end, I had to lend him the money so he could give it to you. If it's more than 1500, then I'll have to give up on Sha Zhu," Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

After a heated discussion, the two finally agreed on a price of 1500.

There was nothing Xu Fugui could do; Yi Zhonghai wouldn't budge on the 1500 yuan, and Xu Fugui was helpless. He couldn't really send Sha Zhu to jail, could he? If Sha Zhu went to jail, how would he and Da Mao get their revenge?

Yi Zhonghai's offer of 1500 was also a well-thought-out decision. He had a backup plan, and Sha Zhu was just his backup.

Then there's the fact that the deaf old lady really likes Sha Zhu. If the price isn't too high, he doesn't want to go against her wishes, after all, he still has his eye on the big and small yellow croakers in the deaf old lady's house.

After the two reached an agreement, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly went home to get the money and handed it over to Xu Fugui, thus successfully obtaining a letter of understanding.

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the police station with the letter of understanding and said to the police officer, "Officer, this is Xu Damao's letter of understanding. When can He Yuzhu go home?"

The police officer took the letter of understanding, glanced at it, and nodded: "It is indeed a letter of understanding."

Then, the police officer retorted, "Who told you that getting a letter of forgiveness from the victim would get you He Yuzhu released?"

"Officer, this... it was just He Yuzhu and Xu Damao playing around, and Xu Damao was accidentally injured. Xu Damao has already written a letter of forgiveness. Can't this matter be put behind us?" Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise.

The police were so angry at Yi Zhonghai that they laughed.

"You're saying He Yuzhu kicking people is just playing around? He's practically wiped out their entire family line, and you expect us to release him just because of a letter of understanding?"

"Comrade, let me tell you, from the moment Comrade Xu Damao reported the case, this matter was no longer under Xu Damao's control. He Yuzhu injured someone like this, which is a crime, a criminal case. You can get a letter of forgiveness from the victim, which can indeed reduce He Yuzhu's sentence, but it is absolutely impossible to release He Yuzhu."

"this……"

Yi Zhonghai is now at a loss. He never expected that even after receiving the letter of understanding, he still couldn't release the person.

Not only him, but Xu Fugui and Xu Damao also thought that as long as they wrote a letter of understanding, they could get Shazhu out. Little did they know that they were all wrong.

"Officer, now that there's a letter of understanding, how long will He Yuzhu be sentenced to?"

The police officer thought for a moment and then said, "Without a letter of forgiveness, he would probably be sentenced to ten years. Now that he has a letter of forgiveness, he will probably be sentenced to about three years."

"Thank you, officers."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly returned to courtyard number 95 and went to the deaf old woman's house.

This matter is beyond his ability to resolve; the deaf old woman has very strong connections, so it's up to her.

"Grandma, I paid 1500 yuan to get Xu Damao to write a letter of forgiveness, but the police still won't release Shazhu. They said that even with the letter of forgiveness, he'll still be sentenced to three years. What should we do?"

Upon hearing this, the deaf old woman frowned.

"Zhonghai, carry me somewhere now."

"Why."

Soon, Yi Zhonghai carried the deaf old woman on his back and walked out of the courtyard.

Wang Feng was sitting at his doorstep when he saw the deaf old woman go out. He immediately thought that she must have gone to find help.

He quickly and quietly followed her, wanting to see who the deaf old woman would seek help from. Anyone who helped the deaf old woman would definitely be his enemy.

After following for about half an hour, Yi Zhonghai carried the deaf old woman to a courtyard house with one entrance.

Yi Zhonghai went up and knocked on the door, and soon a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit came out.

Wang Feng watched from afar, and when he saw who opened the door, he couldn't help but curse inwardly:

"Damn, it really is Factory Director Yang."

It seems the rumors are true. Either the deaf old lady is Director Yang's savior, or she has something on Director Yang. In any case, Director Yang can be considered his enemy.

Now that he had found the deaf old woman's helper, Wang Feng quickly headed towards courtyard number 95.

He had to hurry back to see if he could find an opportunity to go to the deaf old woman's house and find some dirt on the person in the government compound. At the very least, he should be able to find some gold, silver, and jade artifacts at the deaf old woman's house.
