"Everyone, listen to me. Many people in this courtyard have watched Zhu Zi and Da Mao grow up. I think everyone knows what kind of people they are.”
"I didn't believe it at first, but according to what they said, they might have been drunk in the end.”
"The only one who is awake is Xiao Baoguo. He just told me everything, although I don't know how Silly Zhu and the other two ran from the bed to the cellar in the backyard.”
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Xiao Baoguo looked at him with a cold smile. Wasn't Yi Zhonghai's words just a reminder to everyone?
Both parties had blacked out. As the only person who was awake, he was the most suspicious. Obviously, Yi Zhonghai wanted to incite the people in the courtyard to suspect him.
"But the truth is the truth. It's not too much to say that the two of them are immoral, but I don't think it's appropriate to say that they're morally corrupt.”
"First of all, I want to state my stance here. Silly Zhu and Da Mao are definitely at fault. We can discuss their punishment later, but I still believe that the two of them did not do anything out of line.”
"Lou Xiao'e, believe in Grandpa Yi. Grandpa Yi watched Xu Damao grow up and knows him very well. He definitely won't do anything to let you down.”
Xiao Baoguo stood up and was about to speak. He wanted to divert their attention before they realized what Yi Zhonghai meant.
"Master Yi, this matter isn't small. I think it's better to investigate it clearly. We can't let Silly Zhu be wronged.”
"If this matter spreads, how will the people in this courtyard go out and face their neighbors in the future? How was Silly Zhu going to behave in the factory?”
Xiao Baoguo's words sounded as if he was doing this for the good of Silly Zhu and everyone else, but when combined with what Yi Zhonghai had just said, it was obvious that he was trying to smooth things over.
As soon as Xiao Baoguo finished speaking, Liu Guangtian said,""Master Yi, you can't be thinking of covering up this matter again, right? You can't be biased towards Silly Zhu every time. We're doing this for his own good.”
Liu Haizhong nodded slightly when he heard his son's words. His eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction.
The people in the courtyard started to discuss again. If Xiao Baoguo's expression was a little vague, then Liu Guangtian had directly pointed out Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.
Seeing that the courtyard was in chaos again, Yan Bugui turned around and whispered,""Master Yi, I think it's better to investigate clearly. After all, it's difficult to offend the public.”
Yi Zhonghai also knew that if it was in the past, the courtyard would have given him some face. Just based on what he said just now, this matter would be over. It would be fine as long as the punishment was heavier.
He hated Xiao Baoguo and Liu Guangtian to death, but he hated Fatty even more.
He had seen the exchange between the other party and his son just now.
As for Xiao Baoguo, Yi Zhonghai had already regarded him as Liu Haizhong's man. After all, Liu Haizhong had stepped forward to defend him several times. The two of them had found Silly Zhu together last night.
Although they said that they had met when they woke up at night, no one else could prove it. Who knew if one of them had noticed the situation and informed the other?
As the discussion grew louder and louder, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to stand up and say,""Quiet, everyone quiet down. Since everyone thinks that we should investigate clearly, then let's explain the matter in detail.”
"Since both of them said that they drank too much, then as the only sober Xiao Baoguo, how can you prove that you went back to the house alone? How can you prove that you didn't do all this?”
When Yi Zhonghai said this, he was still a little proud.
Although the two of them couldn't explain what happened after drinking, Xiao Baoguo couldn't explain himself either.
Since he said that he had left and returned to his room alone. However, everyone else was already asleep by then, and Xiao Baoguo could not find anyone else to prove that what he said was true.
Xiao Baoguo couldn't answer Yi Zhonghai's question. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was really angry and wanted to push the blame on him.
Just as he was thinking about how to answer, He Yushui said,"I can prove it. I went back very late last night. I couldn't sleep, so I read a book for a while. Then, I heard a sound coming from my brother's room, so I took a look.”
"At that time, I saw Brother Baoguo walking out alone and staggering towards the backyard. I saw that he had drunk a lot, so I went out and helped him back.”
The image that He Yushui had built up over the years was very useful. Hearing her testify, everyone's suspicions immediately dissipated. Everyone felt that such an innocent girl would not cheat her brother for an outsider.
It was also because of He Yushui's words that Xiao Baoguo's suspicion was cleared.
Yi Zhonghai frowned when he saw this. He still believed He Yushui's words. He had wanted to push the blame on Xiao Baoguo, but it seemed that it would not work now. He could only think of another way.
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai kept glancing at the backyard from the corner of his eyes. He could only pray that the deaf old lady would come to save him.
If this continued, even if Silly Pillar and the other two really didn't have anything to do with it, they wouldn't be able to stop people from talking nonsense.
Just as Yi Zhonghai was at a loss for words, an old voice came from outside the crowd.
"I don't believe that stupid Zhu Zi would do such a thing.”
Seeing the old lady arrive, everyone hurriedly made way for her.
Xiao Baoguo saw the old lady and knew that today's matter would probably end here.
However, this was good. It would not be good if he explained things clearly.
It was like a spring. The harder one pressed down, the stronger the rebound force.
It was the same for people. It was fine if it happened once or twice, but if they suppressed the people in the courtyard like this every time, their dissatisfaction would only accumulate.
One day, this dissatisfaction would explode.
The Deaf Old Lady walked on a chair and looked around at everyone. Her eyes lingered on Xiao Baoguo for a long time before she said,"Old Lady, I can guarantee that Silly Zhu Zi isn't what you think he is. He wouldn't do such a thing. I'm also warning you people with ulterior motives, don't play these little tricks again, or don't blame me for being rude.”
Liu Haizhong saw that the old lady was staring at him and immediately cowered. He stood up and quickly said,"Old lady, I have always believed in Silly Zhu.”
"You know what it is."
After saying this, the Deaf Old Lady got up and walked to the backyard.
After the other party left, Yi Zhonghai said,""In view of the fact that Silly Zhu and his wife's actions have indeed brought bad influence to the quad, then punish them to pay for the people in the quad to buy peanuts and melon seeds for the new year.”
With the old lady's help and the benefits, no one said anything else. However, after the three elders left, Xiao Baoguo could still hear the discussion in the courtyard.
"I think First Master is biased, and so is Old Madam. Every time she encounters something with Silly Zhu, she stands up for him.”
"That's right. What if this matter gets out? How will the neighbors view the people in our courtyard?”
"That's right. My son isn't married yet. If word gets out, that girl will be willing to marry into our courtyard.”
In the past, no one would have talked about Yi Zhonghai like this in the courtyard even if they were unhappy.
In the past, most of the people in the courtyard had come to attend the meeting with the mentality of watching the show.
However, after a few verbal provocations, the people in the courtyard slowly began to feel that Yi Zhonghai was being unfair.
