Chapter 236 He Yu refused to issue a letter of apology to Yi Zhonghai.
After Huang Guifang hurried back to the courtyard, she ran to the backyard in a hurry without stopping for a moment.
However, when her eyes fell on the coffin, she was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank, and the figure of her old husband Yi Zhonghai lying in the coffin seemed to appear before her eyes.
.......
The backyard was bustling with people at this time.
After all, in this era, let alone holding a banquet, even having a good meal can only be enjoyed during festivals.
Some families can only enjoy the precious white flour steamed buns during the Chinese New Year.
The third aunt Yang Ruihua noticed the first aunt standing there in a daze, and hurriedly walked up to her and said.
"Auntie, you came at a perfect time! Come and help wash the dishes, we'll be having dinner soon."
Yang Ruihua's words were like a wake-up call, bringing Huang Guifang back to reality from her trance.
She shook her head slightly and spoke slowly.
"No, I have some things to deal with at home, so I won't participate.
I have something to do with the old lady, so I'll leave now."
As she spoke, Huang Guifang caught a glimpse of the old lady.
At this moment, the old lady was sitting next to Lou Xiao'e, and Lou Xiao'e hugged the old lady's knees tightly, crying inconsolably, her face full of sadness and sorrow.
The old lady put her hand on Lou Xiao'e's back and kept comforting her in soft voice.
Although Huang Guifang didn't want to disturb Lou Xiao'e, the situation was urgent, so she had to bite the bullet and come to Old Lady Long's side.
"Old lady, could you come over here for a moment? I have something urgent to discuss with you!"
The old lady looked up at Huang Guifang. She knew that Yi Zhonghai's daughter-in-law was very perceptive.
If it wasn't a big deal, she would never come to her in such a scene.
The old lady comforted Lou Xiao'e with a few words, then, leaning on her crutches, spoke to Huang Guifang.
"Guifang, let's go. Didn't you say you had something to ask me? Come here and help me."
"Oh, good!"
Huang Guifang replied and helped the old lady from the backyard to her home.
The old lady sat on the chair and looked at Huang Guifang and said.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Huang Guifang knelt down in front of the old lady at this moment, and then spoke to her with tears on her face.
"Old lady, you have to save Zhong Hai, him, him."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately asked.
"What did you say? Zhong Hai, what happened to him? What happened?"
The old lady looked at Huang Guifang anxiously, but Huang Guifang thought for a moment and said.
"Old lady, Zhong Hai, he did something stupid!
He withheld the living expenses that He Daqing gave to Zhuzi and his sister!
Now the truth has been exposed and he has been arrested by the police station.
Zhong Hai asked me to ask Zhuzi for a letter of apology, but Zhuzi said that he would only give him the letter of apology after he gave him the letters his father had sent back over the years. "
After hearing this, the old lady immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If it were any other situation.
That’s hard to say, but as for Zhuzi, it shouldn’t be that difficult. She knows that Zhuzi is a very kind and honest man.
So the old lady said to Huang Guifang.
"In that case, why don't you just go and take all the letters to Zhuzi?"
Huang Guifang replied hesitantly.
"Zhong Hai said that every time he got a letter, he would take out the money and burn the letter."
When the old lady heard this, she became furious and stomped the ground with her cane, making a muffled sound.
"It's really a waste of Zhong Hai for taking care of me for so many years. Did he feed all the things I taught him to the dogs?
It's really too much to do such a thing!"
Huang Guifang knew that her husband was in the wrong, so she could only kneel on the ground and dare not say a word.
The old lady cursed for a while, then said to Huang Guifang.
"I understand why you asked me to come here. How much compensation does Zhong Hai plan to pay Zhuzi?"
Huang Guifang replied quickly.
"Old lady, Zhong Hai asked me to give 500 yuan to Zhuzi as compensation for all these years."
Hearing this, the old lady sighed and said.
“I don’t know if Zhuzi will listen to me. After all, he is like that, very stubborn. He must have been very angry these past two days.
Considering that Banggeng burned his house, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the letter of apology. We may have to wait for two days.
Now that he has calmed down, we can go and ask him for it again? What do you think? "
When Huang Guifang heard this, she almost cried, so she hurriedly said.
"Ma'am, this is really not okay! The police station said that we will go to court tomorrow.
If you don't take the letter of understanding today, it will be useless tomorrow.
Judging from the tone Zhong Hai used when speaking to me, if there was no letter of apology from Zhu, Zhong Hai would, he would, have to eat peanuts."
When the old lady heard this, she immediately frowned. She had not expected that this matter could become as serious as eating peanuts.
Then she thought about it and felt that if this matter could not be handled well.
If Yi Zhonghai ate the peanuts, she guessed he would not be able to survive.
After all, Huang Guifang took care of her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If she doesn't help now, she will have to wait for death after Yi Zhonghai finishes eating the peanuts.
Whether others would help her or not, she was sure that they would not.
So the old lady, who had figured it out, said to Huang Guifang.
"Okay, let's go to Zhuzi's house and I'll plead for him."
When Huang Guifang heard this, she stood up and supported the old lady as they walked towards Zhuzi's house.
Here, after Lei Tong and others finished measuring, He Yu went back to fix the doors and windows.
He knew that he couldn't finish the house today and he would have to endure the cold tonight.
He sat at home, thinking about how to spend the night.
Suddenly he heard a noise outside the door.
"My dear grandson, my dear grandson! Grandma is here to see you."
He Yu turned around and saw Huang Guifang supporting Old Lady Long as they walked towards his house.
As soon as I saw this, I understood instantly that Yi Zhonghai had indeed burned all the letters.
So now we have to ask Old Lady Long to come and support us.
But it makes sense when you think about it. The old woman is so old, and Yi Zhonghai wants to save face and let his wife take care of her.
The people in this yard would not be so kind as to take care of an old woman who can't do anything.
He Yu carefully recalled his past memories and was surprised to find that the old lady had only verbally expressed her concern and care for He Yuzhu and his sister.
In fact, she hardly provided any substantial help regarding diet, and most of the time it was just verbal.
He Yu, who witnessed all this, instantly lost without a trace the gentle look in his eyes that was originally directed at the old lady.
As for the old lady who left the property to He Yu mentioned in the original plot, it is meaningless to He Yu.
Because as long as he successfully completes the task, he will be able to return to modern society, and everything that happens here will have nothing to do with him.
When the old lady noticed that Sha Zhu turned his head to look at her, she suddenly realized that Sha Zhu's eyes became unusually cold.
This sudden change made her feel panicky.
After all, this was not the reaction she expected, but if she didn't rescue Yi Zhonghai at this moment, she herself might not be able to survive this cold winter.
Therefore, facing Sha Zhu's cold gaze, she had no choice but to ignore it and continued walking towards Sha Zhu's house with a forced smile.
She said to Shazhu with a smile on her face.
"Zhu Zi! Zhong Hai was just impulsive and confused. For my sake, could you please be kind enough to give him a chance and help him write a letter of apology?
You can rest assured that if he is freed, I will make him come to your house to apologize in person."
He Yu listened to the old lady's flattering words, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't even look at the old lady.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Huang Guifang and spoke in a cold tone.
"Aunt, where are the letters my father left for my brother and me? Give them to me, and I will consider issuing a letter of apology to Yi Zhonghai."
When Huang Guifang heard this, a helpless and pleading look appeared on her face. She looked at the old lady for help, hoping that she could stand up and speak for her.
However, the old lady noticed Sha Zhu's firm and indifferent attitude, and knew in her heart that it would be difficult for her to get the letter of forgiveness as she wished today.
This reality has forced her to face an uncomfortable fact - now she begins to fear that one day she will die alone at home without anyone even knowing.
Because she understood that if he couldn't get the letter of apology this time, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not be able to get over this hurdle.
If Yi Zhonghai can't get over it, it means that Huang Guifang will no longer take care of herself.
So she could only continue to speak earnestly to He Yu.
"Zhu Zi! I know you are angry, but Zhong Hai used to take care of you, right?
Think about it, every time you fought with Xu Damao, didn’t Zhonghai side with you?
For the sake of our relationship over the years, please give Zhong Hai a chance and write him a letter of apology!"
He Yu replied with a sneer.
"Haha! Old lady, don't be so confident. After all, if he hadn't intercepted the living expenses given by my father.
My sister and I wouldn't have to suffer from hunger and cold, especially Yi Zhonghai, do you think he would help me?
Hehe! My sister and I have been hungry for a few days. What did he give us to eat?
There was only one and a half frozen steamed buns.
If it weren't for him, would my sister and I have starved? Now I don't want to say anything more.
As long as you return the letter my father gave me, I will write a letter of apology to Yi Zhonghai, otherwise there will be no discussion."
When Huang Guifang heard this, she spoke without thinking.
"Old Yi has burned all the letters. There is not a single one left. Where can we get them for you?"
When He Yu heard this, he inexplicably wanted to laugh, but then he suppressed the smile and said.
“Since the letters have been burned, I have nothing to say, please!
I will not write this letter of understanding to Yi Zhonghai, so you two should just give up on this idea!"
(Thanks to the three people who stole your picture and gave me a reward without asking for help. Thanks to the boss for his support.)
