Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"Huai Ru, I'll go ask Master to lend us some money and we'll pay him back later."

Yi Zhonghai is Jia Dongxu's confidence. He knows that Yi Zhonghai must have a lot of savings, and with their current relationship, he can definitely lend it out.

Yi Zhonghai was indeed waiting for Jia Dongxu to come and borrow money. When he learned that Qin Huairu was pregnant again, he knew that Jia Dongxu would come to him.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was thinking about a question, that is, whether to take this opportunity to let Jia Dongxu recognize him as his godfather.

Chapter 333 Where's My Money?

As soon as Jia Dongxu arrived in front of Yi Zhonghai, he knelt down and said, "Master, please save our family."

"Dongxu, get up quickly. Let's just talk it out nicely."

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his excitement, quickly helped Jia Dongxu up, and pushed him to a chair nearby.

"Don't worry, Dongxu. If you have any questions, please tell me slowly. If you encounter any difficulties at home, don't worry. We can solve them together."

Jia Dongxu also understood at this time that Yi Zhonghai wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to control him again, and he couldn't help feeling resentful.

Over the years, he asked himself if he had listened to Yi Zhonghai in everything, but he really treated Yi Zhonghai as his own father.

But he didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai was still wary of him. Could it be that his filial piety over the years hadn't moved Yi Zhonghai?

However, Jia Dongxu would not say these words, he still needed Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, today Huairu..."

"Master, if you don't help me, I really have no choice but to ask Huairu to abort the child. My family really can't afford to raise him now."

What Jia Dongxu said was so touching that even Yi Zhonghai's mind was shaken, and he condemned himself in his heart for taking advantage of others' misfortune.

"Dongxu, Master will definitely help you with this. We have been together for so many years, how can I bear to see you abort your own child with your own hands? Don't worry, Master will definitely help you through this difficult time."

Yi Zhonghai said it very well, but Jia Dongxu knew that he would have to put forward conditions next.

"only?"

Yi Zhonghai's face showed a hint of hesitation, as if he was worried about something.

Jia Dongxu knew it was time to express his opinion, so he said solemnly, "Master, I will agree to any conditions you have."

"Hey Dongxu, you know I don't have any children. I'm most afraid that no one will take care of me when I'm old. I've saved up all this money over the years, without spending too much. Just so I can have some security when I'm old."

thump.

"Master, I've already told you that I'll take care of you when you're old. Besides, you're Bang Geng's grandfather, so what's there to worry about?"

Jia Dongxu knelt down again and asked in confusion.

Yi Zhonghai's face was tangled. He didn't know what to say. With Jia Dongxu's character, he didn't have to worry about retirement issues at all. But he just wanted to make the relationship between them closer. The relationship between him and Jia Dongxu was closer.

"Well, Dongxu, let me just say this: I believe you can provide for my old age. But I'd rather you provide for me as my godson. Do you understand?"

After the conversation, Yi Zhonghai was extremely uneasy, while Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a look of shock. He was speechless. Why didn't Lao Deng tell him earlier? Isn't it just a foster father? How big a deal can it be?

He didn't hesitate too much, pretending to think about it for a moment before agreeing directly, "Master, I understand your concerns in this regard. Now that Banggeng calls you grandpa, it's not unreasonable for me to acknowledge you as my godfather."

"Godfather, please accept my worship."

Jia Dongxu solemnly knelt down and bowed, just as he had done many years ago when he became Yi Zhonghai's apprentice.

"Good good!"

Yi Zhonghai was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He never expected that his long-cherished wish would actually come true.

He helped Jia Dongxu up and said tremblingly, "I have a son. I, Yi Zhonghai, also have a son."

Yi Zhonghai, whose dream came true, laughed wildly in the house and laughed for an unknown amount of time before he stopped.

"Dongxu, come here. I'll get the money for you. You have to take good care of Huairu. Don't let her beat the baby. Who knows, she might have another grandson as cute as Banggeng."

Yi Zhonghai took out the box where he hid his money, but he was too excited. His hands kept shaking as he held the key, but he couldn't open the lock.

"Dongxu, please wait for me. Master, no, godfather, I am really too excited."

Jia Dongxu expressed his understanding. He didn't need any more time anyway. As long as he could get the money, what would it matter if he waited for Yi Zhonghai to die?

After a few minutes, Yi Zhonghai finally calmed down.

With a click, he opened the box.

"Dongxu, I saved two thousand yuan by living frugally over the years. Half of it was taken away during the divorce, leaving me with over a thousand yuan. It's all here...where's my money?"

Yi Zhonghai opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of disbelief, and his excitement just now became even more excited.

Because the box in his hand was not a box full of money, but a box filled with air. He looked over and over, but did not see a penny.

砰

Yi Zhonghai closed the lid and said, "It's an illusion. I must have opened it the wrong way just now."

I opened the box again, but still found nothing.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but scream, "Where's my money!"

Jia Dongxu was close by and was stunned by the sudden scream. But he also heard that Yi Zhonghai's money was gone.

Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai's voice had spread throughout the courtyard, but not many people had come out to watch the excitement. Word would spread sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to rush over. And by the sound of it, one knew what had happened: the money had been lost.

Jia Dongxu's face also changed, and he was extremely anxious. In Jia Zhang's words, this was their Jia family's money.

"Master... Godfather, did you forget where you put it? Why don't you look for it more carefully?"

Jia Dongxu's words reminded Yi Zhonghai, and he quickly ran to another place and took out another box.

But as soon as he picked it up, he felt the weight was wrong. After opening the lock with trembling hands, he didn't dare to look inside.

"Dongxu, come and open it and take a look."

Jia Dongxu's heart also beat faster, and he slowly reached out and touched the box.

Kaba

Yi Zhonghai looked down and saw that it was empty again. "My money is gone."

Yi Zhonghai fell to the ground with the box.

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and immediately lay down beside Yi Zhonghai to check his breath.

After learning that Yi Zhonghai was not dead, he immediately shouted to the people at the door, "Go and get the doctor!"

Soon, a doctor was called over. It was the same doctor who had treated Yi Zhonghai the last time he fainted because of Liu Guangtian's rebellion against Tiangang.

After an examination, the doctor gave the same conclusion as last time: the patient was mentally stimulated.

However, this time Jia Dongxu chose to ask the doctor to wake Yi Zhonghai up right away because he had important things to do.

After the doctor inserted more than a dozen silver needles, Yi Zhonghai slowly woke up.

The first thing he said when he woke up was, "Dongxu, go to the police station and report it! My money is gone, all 2,000 yuan is gone!"

After knowing the specific amount, Jia Dongxu did not dare to delay and rushed out of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Chapter 334: Aunt Wu Comes to the Door

The loss of more than 2,000 yuan was an absolute major case and attracted the attention of the entire police station.

So the police station sent the new deputy director Liu Xin to lead a team into the courtyard.

"Jiang Fan, Xu Damao, you two live here. I was wondering why this address looked so familiar." As soon as Liu Xin entered the front yard, he saw Jiang Fan and Xu Damao squatting there, and he went up to greet them enthusiastically.

The two of them also responded enthusiastically, as this was their connection in the police station.

But after all, they were here to do business, so the three of them just greeted each other, and Liu Xin led his men towards the central courtyard.

After they left, Xu Damao discussed the previous topic with Jiang Fan again.

"You said Yi Zhonghai actually still has 2,000 yuan. Where did he get this money? When he and Aunt Wu divorced, the property was divided in half. Aunt Wu only got about 1,000 yuan."

Xu Damao was very confused. It was impossible that Yi Zhonghai had earned a thousand yuan less than a year after the divorce. Even if he was selling hooks, he couldn't earn that much.

"Who knows? Maybe it's Yi Zhonghai's hidden stash of money? If we calculate based on his twenty years of saving, a thousand yuan would only be fifty yuan a year, or just over four yuan a month. It's entirely possible."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly. After all, no one would have thought that Yi Zhonghai, an old man who always talked about benevolence, morality and filial piety, would actually do something like withholding other people's living expenses.

Xu Damao nodded. If you calculate it this way, four dollars a month is not impossible.

At this time, Jiang Fan said slowly, "But I remember that this private money is also considered common property of the couple. From a legal perspective, it must be divided in the event of a divorce."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up instantly, "I understand."

After saying that, he ran out of the courtyard. How could Yi Zhonghai not inform his ex-wife when he encountered such a big thing?

At the Intermediate Court, Liu Xin asked Yi Zhonghai about the specific situation.

The last time Yi Zhonghai checked the slush fund was when he received his last payroll payment. It was fine then, and the money was all there. But when he checked today, it was gone.

Liu Xin frowned. He knew that the money was most likely impossible to recover. There was no clue at all and he didn't even know when the money was stolen.

With current criminal investigation technology, it is impossible to get it back.

The case can be decided now.

"Comrade Public Security, you must return my money to me. That's my life savings."

Yi Zhonghai held Liu Xin's hand and shed sincere tears.

Liu Xin also understood Yi Zhonghai's feelings very well, but without any clues, what could he do? "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, we will do our best to help you find the lost money."

After checking the scene again, several public security comrades who came with them shook their heads and found no clues.

After leaving the courtyard gate, Jia Dongxu was still following Liu Xin with a very conflicted expression.

"Comrade Jia Dongxu."

"Huh? I'm here."

Jia Dongxu looked up suddenly and saw Liu Xin staring at him, not knowing how to start.

"Alas, I hope you can do a good job of ideological work with Comrade Yi Zhonghai. This thief may not be caught."

Jia Dongxu was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "Comrade Public Security? Is it really impossible to find it?"

Liu Xin shook his head. "There are simply too few clues. We don't even know when the money went missing, and there's no sign of prying into the doors, windows, or boxes. If we want to find someone, we can only look for someone who suddenly went on a spending spree during that time. But that's also incredibly difficult."

There are millions of people in the entire city of Beijing. Trying to find one person here is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Upon learning the result, Jia Dongxu, like Yi Zhonghai, felt dizzy and fell into the arms of the police officer next to him. Several people quickly sent Jia Dongxu back home.

Qin Huairu felt so distressed when she saw the fainted Jia Dongxu that she couldn't stop crying.

Holding Jia Dongxu's hand, Qin Huairu felt the calluses on it. These were the result of his efforts for this family.

"Dongxu, I won't let you suffer for me anymore. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, everything will be fine."

Qin Huairu's tone was full of tenderness but also revealed an unparalleled firmness. She decided to make a decision that went against Jia Dongxu's will and she didn't want the child.

Do it now, otherwise it will be too late to do it after Jia Dongxu wakes up.

Qin Huairu touched her belly distressedly, "Baby, I'm sorry, but you shouldn't have come at this time."

As soon as she went out, Qin Huairu saw Aunt Wu coming over with a big belly.

Unlike Qin Huairu's current haggard look, Aunt Wu, a 50-year-old mother who has just given birth, is more energetic and even looks younger than before her divorce.

The two passed each other and no one spoke.

Qin Huairu was going to the pharmacy to get abortion pills, while Aunt Wu came with her husband to seek justice.

"Yi Zhonghai! You f**king bastard, get out here and explain to me what it means that after dividing the property equally, you're left with 2,000 yuan, and I only have 1,000 yuan."

Aunt Wu was shouting in the middle courtyard, while her husband, Wang Tiezhu, supported her with a worried look on his face, fearing any accidents. The baby was due in two and a half months, so he had to be extremely careful.

The people in the yard widened their eyes as they saw Aunt Wu, who used to be quiet and gentle, cursing like a shrew.

But if you think about it carefully, if they were short of 500 yuan for no reason like Aunt Wu, they would also curse.

However, after the police left, Yi Zhonghai felt more and more upset. He fainted again just now and could not hear Aunt Wu shouting outside at all. He could be said to have avoided an unexpected disaster.

Although others thought it was noisy, they also understood Aunt Wu's approach. After all, the courtyard was never quiet, so let it be noisy for a while. They could also watch the fun and learn some swear words.
