Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2500 Han Yue's Suspicion

Xu Damao's words infuriated Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu really wanted to tell Xu Damao with a straight face that he was not Yi Zhonghai's son.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

He did indeed act as Yi Zhonghai's son.

When He Daqing returned, he wanted to take back the house.

Yi Zhonghai then formally clarified the matter in front of everyone.

Since then, Yi Zhonghai has been acting as He Daqing's godfather and has been at odds with him.

Because of his dark past of abandoning his father, He Daqing, he always felt inferior to Yi Zhonghai.

With the help of people from the courtyard like Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, He Daqing couldn't gain any advantage at all.

Of course, He Daqing himself also had problems. While seeking revenge, he didn't forget to seduce Lou Xiao'e's own mother.

He thought He Daqing's old habits had relapsed, and he scoffed at He Daqing's words, never listening to them.

"Xu Damao, I'm warning you, the past is no longer a topic for discussion."

I was fooled by Yi Zhonghai before.

Xu Damao watched as Han Yue and the others carefully examined the account books, and dared not cause too much trouble.

"Even without this, he didn't lose out by spending that 50,000 yuan."

Sha Zhu isn't stupid; he knows he can't continue down this path.

He was misled by Yi Zhonghai into doing too many foolish things. By the time he was twenty-six or twenty-seven, he hadn't saved much money.

All that money was swindled by Yi Zhonghai and used to help others.

The main characters are the deaf old lady and Qin Huairu, and the third one is Yan Bugui.

At the time, he saw that Yi Zhonghai didn't care about his money and kept saying that he would give him the money after he died.

He also thought Yi Zhonghai was a good person.

Who could have imagined that Yi Zhonghai was the most ruthless of them all? Yi Zhonghai wasn't after those petty profits; he was after his entire life.

Sha Zhu continued reading and saw the records after He Daqing left.

Besides the bookkeeping, there were also Yan Bugui's curses against Yi Zhonghai.

After reading those curses, Sha Zhu flew into a rage once again.

"That damned Yi Zhonghai."

"what happened?"

Sha Zhu threw the ledger to Xu Damao and told him to look at it himself.

After reading it, Xu Damao was also filled with righteous indignation: "I told you long ago that Yi Zhonghai is no good."

When I saw that Yushui had nothing to eat, I took a steamed bun from home and gave it to him.

At that time, Yushui hadn't had enough to eat for a long time, and he was so moved that he cried.

He insisted that I bullied Yushui. Yushui tried to explain, but you wouldn't listen and ended up hitting me.

Now you see.

The two men were cursing Yi Zhonghai without saying anything, which piqued the curiosity of Han Yue and the others.

Yang Feng asked, "What's written on it?"

Xu Damao said, "It says that Yan Bugui saw that Sha Zhu and his sister had nothing to eat and was going to persuade Sha Zhu to live with his family."

The condition was that Sha Zhu would hand over all the money he earned to Yan Bugui for safekeeping.

Later, when Yi Zhonghai found out, he forced him to give up and even brought up the deaf old lady.

Yang Feng turned to look at Sha Zhu: "Is that so?"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "I go out to collect scraps every day, and I can earn four or five cents a day, which is four or five thousand."

Once, while selling scrap, I ran into Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui thought I earned a lot, so he plotted against me, saying he wanted me to live with him.

Han Yue rubbed his forehead.

Yan Bugui kept a lot of records, covering everything, big and small, as long as it was related to money.

It made him dizzy and confused.

"Given Yan Bugui's personality, he wouldn't let such a big piece of fat meat go to waste, would he?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "You're right. He takes a dime from Sha Zhu every day, which adds up to three yuan a month. Three yuan is enough to feed one person in his family."

How could he possibly give up?

Finally, Yi Zhonghai promised to give him three yuan a month before he relented.

Although Han Yue already knew that Yi Zhonghai and his group were shameless, he was still shocked by the extent of their shamelessness.

"How did you manage to make them the big shots in charge?"

Xu Damao turned to look at Shazhu: "Ask him. The deaf old lady had a good relationship with the first director of Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office. It was arranged in advance by them."

Han Yue was taken aback, and suddenly realized that this was also a problem.

The deaf old lady's son was a secret agent of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, so the deaf old lady shouldn't have had such a good relationship with the leaders of the Military Control Commission.

But that's not actually the case.

From Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's conversation, he could tell that the deaf old lady had good relationships with many leaders.

It was under the protection of those leaders that the deaf old lady was able to become the matriarch of the courtyard house.

What exactly is the relationship between the deaf old lady and those people?

Were those people spies?

Han Yue then asked the question.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were both stunned, their eyes showing some confusion.

When they met the deaf old lady, she was quite old, and given that she had bound feet, no one doubted her identity.

Later, the deaf old lady donated most of the houses in the courtyard, and they naturally felt that the military control committee owed her a favor.

The deaf old lady frequently visited the Military Control Commission, so it was normal for everyone to think that she had a good relationship with the leaders of the Military Control Commission.

Xu Damao then asked Shazhu, "You've been in a lot of contact with the deaf old lady. Do you know that?"

Sha Zhu said irritably, "What do I know? I don't know as much as you do."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about Jin Qihao."

Xu Damao thought about it and realized that it made sense. The deaf old lady and her ilk hadn't said many truthful things in front of Sha Zhu.

He simply recounted what he knew.

“We never thought about this question. Later, Yi Zhonghai secretly publicized her status as a martyr’s family member, so no one dared to think about it in that direction.”

Han Yue also knew that he wouldn't get anything out of these two people.

One of these two people was fooled like a fool, and the other was made a target.

If there were any secrets, we definitely wouldn't let them know.

"How many of those leaders from back then are still alive?"

Sha Zhu shook his head blankly: "It seems that Director Yang is still alive."

Xu Damao said, "Don't make it seem like that. Director Yang went abroad several years ago."

Director Wang passed away a few years ago.

As for Director Pan, I'm not too sure. It seems he was transferred to another location during the movement.

Unable to find detailed evidence, Han Yue could only make a note of these matters and continue reviewing the account books.

Sha Zhu picked up another book and started flipping through it.

Xu Damao continued flipping through the book he had just read. Suddenly, he paused, startled.

“Shazhu, look here. When Uncle He sent money back for the first time, Yan Bugui saw it when Yi Zhonghai received the money.”

Xu Damao quickly flipped through a few pages and, sure enough, there was a second record.

Yan Bugui knew very well that Yi Zhonghai had no relatives, so he secretly asked the postman.

After the postman told him the truth, he didn't choose to tell Sha Zhu, but secretly went to find Yi Zhonghai.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai agreed to give him three yuan a month to keep the secret.

Xu Damao did some quick calculations and said, "Goodness, Yi Zhonghai is quite generous to Yan Bugui."

To keep him from causing trouble, I gave him six yuan a month.

I reckon there will be more to come.

No wonder Yi Zhonghai sought you out to help the Jia family.

Yan Bugui's six yuan, plus the Jia family's fifteen or sixteen yuan, meant that nearly twenty yuan was gone in a month.

That was the salary of a full-time employee back then. (End of Chapter)
