In the middle court.
Beside the eight square table, the three old men sat down in a triangular formation.
Yi Zhonghai stood up and said,"Today, I'm here to discuss something with everyone."”
"The first is that there are thieves in our courtyard, so I discussed it with the other two elders.”
"In the future, the gate of the courtyard will be locked. Moreover, Old Liu will take turns patrolling the courtyard with a few people.”
"This is for everyone's safety. I don't think anyone will object, right?”
The people in the courtyard nodded in unison. Of course, they would not object to this.
"As for the second matter, let Jia Zhang-shi speak for herself.”
If it was before, he would definitely have questioned He Ye.
However, when he heard that He Ye had become a welding engineer today, Yi Zhonghai was still a little unwilling. He wanted to try to get closer to He Ye and see if He Ye could support him in his old age.
Therefore, he did not want to be the villain.
After a day of rest, Jia Zhang-shi had also recovered her spirit. She angrily said to He Ye,"He Ye, did you do it on purpose yesterday?”
He Ye obviously knew what Jia Zhangshi was talking about, but how could he admit it?
The only pity was that he didn't kill Jia Zhangshi.
"What are you talking about?"
Jia Zhang-shi said angrily,"Don't play dumb. When we caught the thief yesterday, you deliberately kicked the thief on me."”
"You almost caused me to lose my life, and you want to cover my losses.”
"Medical fees, mental damage, follow-up nutrition fees, recovery fees, food expenses…you have to compensate me.”
"If you don't compensate me with 200 yuan, I won't let you off.”
The courtyard was in an uproar.
"It's another exorbitant demand. The Jia Zhang-shi is treating He Ye like a bank and has always wanted to get rich.”
"You're a little too shameless. You can even ask for such a price. You don't lose anything at all.”
"He Ye is not a fool. He definitely won't give her so much money.”
"I think Jia Zhang-shi is asking for humiliation.”
……
"Are you scared silly?" He Ye asked. Do you not remember what happened yesterday?”
"I was catching a thief. The situation was so dangerous. Who had the time to care where the thief was kicked?”
"Be careful with your words.”
"I'll sue you for defamation."
"It's enough for you to drink a pot."
Jia Zhang-shi was a law illiterate, so she didn't understand what He Ye was talking about. She said fiercely,"It's useless even if you don't admit it."
"So many people saw it yesterday. There were so many people in the courtyard, but you kicked the thief at me.”
"How can there be such a coincidence?"
"You just want to kill me. Your heart is black.”
"Master Yi, you have to stand up for us." Qin Huiru's eyes were red.”
"Look at our family's current situation. Dongxu's legs are crippled, and he was stabbed.”
"If something happens to my mother-in-law again, how can I live?”
"He Ye, I watched the whole thing yesterday. You did it on purpose."”
"It must be because Jia Zhang-shi scolded you, so you deliberately took revenge.”
"Fortunately, she was lucky. Otherwise, she would have died there yesterday.”
"You've gone too far. It's completely murder.”
"Either you pay up, or you go to jail. You'll have to go to jail for at least a few years for murder.”
Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru had already discussed their excuse.
It was just that there were too many words, and he could not have memorized them.
However, when Qin Huairu's little hand touched his body, Silly Zhu immediately became spirited and used a lot of strength to carry it.
Yi Zhonghai did not want to offend either side, so he thought of a compromise.""Jia Zhangshi, you asking for two hundred yuan is a bit too much.”
"I was just frightened. I didn't hurt my bones or muscles.”
"He Ye was trying to catch the thief. He didn't kick you on purpose.”
"Just compensate me with ten yuan.”
Yan Bugui said," Yeah, catching a thief isn't that good. If it wasn't for He Ye, the thief might have escaped."”
"If the thief comes back in the future, can you bear the responsibility?”
Liu Haizhong also said," Sister-in-law, that's enough. Don't ask for too much. Everyone has seen it."”
"He Ye only accidentally injured you."
Xu Damao: " There's nothing wrong with He Ye's actions. The thief almost ran away because of you, and you still have the cheek to ask for money."”
Many people in the courtyard spoke up for He Ye.
"He Ye didn't do anything wrong yesterday. If it weren't for his quick reflexes, the safety of the courtyard wouldn't have been guaranteed.”
"You dare to ask for any price. Didn't your son only compensate 200 yuan for his disability? You really don't have any confidence in your words.”
"Asking He Ye to compensate so much is too much.”
……
Qin Huairu, Silly Zhu, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Dongxu were all dumbfounded. They did not understand.
Why did everyone in the courtyard speak up for He Ye?
There was no need to talk about the residents.
It was a little unbelievable that the three masters were also speaking up for He Ye.
Jia Zhang-shi saw that everyone was standing on He Ye's side, so she immediately sat on the ground and patted her legs as she wailed,"There's no justice."
"There's no law."
"Old Merchant, you left too early.”
"We were left alone and helpless. Now, the people in the quad are bullying us.”
"I should have been with you back then…"
She wanted to say " let's go together ", but she couldn't help but shiver when she thought of yesterday's experience.
Was it because she said too much?
Was that why everything happened yesterday?
It's better to believe it than not.
She didn't dare to shout the complete sentence.
Seeing that the people in the courtyard ignored her, Jia Zhangshi knew that two hundred yuan was impossible."Ten yuan is too little. Fifty yuan.”
"As long as He Ye gives me 50 yuan, I won't pursue the matter.”
Yi Zhonghai said," Jia Zhangshi, stop fooling around. You're asking for too much. Let's take a step back. Twenty-five yuan."”
"Old Liu, Old Yan, what do you two think?”
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui felt that it was reasonable, so they nodded together.
How could He Ye not know the reason why the three masters spoke up for him today? It was all because they saw that he was powerful, so they wanted to take advantage of him.
If it was in the past, they would not have been so proactive.
However, Yi Zhonghai seemed to be helping him, but in reality, he was still biased towards the Jia family.
"Compensate? Why should I pay?" He Ye shouted.
Then, he pointed at the people who were shouting for him to compensate."If there's one of you, count it as one. You actually have the face to ask me to compensate you?”
"Yesterday, a thief appeared and injured someone."
"There are so many people in the courtyard. They're scared like rats. They want to find a hole in the ground and hide to save their lives.”
"When facing thieves, you cowered and shouted at me. Did I give you face?”
The people in the courtyard lowered their heads and did not dare to look at He Ye. They felt guilty.
"Silly Zhu, your martial arts aren't bad either, why aren't you charging? Coward!"
Silly Pillar was embarrassed and angry, but he couldn't say anything.
"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, as the three masters of the courtyard, shouldn't you protect the safety of the people in the courtyard? What were you doing at that time? Coward!"
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui blushed in shame.
"Jia Zhang-shi, not only did you not help, but you also got in the way. Because of you, the thief almost ran away. You can't do anything but spoil things. Now you actually ask me for money? Where is your sense of shame? It was eaten by a dog!"
"I'm just an old lady," Jia Zhang-shi said angrily,"Why should I make a move?"”
"Then why must I do it?" I don't owe you anything. It's none of my business if you're injured!”
"You have good skills. It's only natural for you to protect us.”Silly Zhu retorted.
"Just because I have good skills, I have to protect you? If I know how to earn money, do I have to let you spend it? You only have the wrong name, not the wrong nickname. You are a retard.”He Ye said coldly.
"Moreover, there were so many people in the courtyard. I beat them up so badly that they couldn't move for a short period of time. In the end, no one in the courtyard dared to go up and catch them.”
"If you had enough courage at that time, that thief would not have taken Jia Zhang-shi as a hostage!”
"You're still asking me for money? Where's your face?"
"I won't compensate you for a single cent.”
"If a similar situation happens again, I won't interfere. At that time, someone might lose their life!”
The people in the courtyard were silent. Everyone looked at He Ye with shame.
"He Ye is right. He didn't do anything wrong. Why should we ask him for money?”
"He was doing a righteous deed. If it weren't for him, someone might have died in the courtyard.”
"At that time, He Ye was the only one who helped. If there was anyone who helped, the thief would have been caught long ago.”
"He Ye shouldn't have lost money. Not only that, but he should also go to the subdistrict office to apply for a certificate for his bravery.”
"Not to mention He Ye, even I feel cold. I clearly did a good thing, but in the end, I was extorted.”
……
Xu Damao shouted," It's all Yi Zhonghai's fault for leading us astray. If he didn't ask He Ye to compensate us, we wouldn't have taken a detour."”
"Yes, Xu Damao is right. Master Yi must apologize to He Ye!”
"Yes, apologize!"
"Apologize!"
……
Immediately, the people in the courtyard shouted like a tsunami, demanding Yi Zhonghai to apologize.
Yi Zhonghai's expression was gloomy.
He was even more resentful in his heart. He Ye really didn't give him any face at all.
However, the current situation was favorable to He Ye, so he could not go against him. Otherwise, he might not even be able to keep his position.
He forced a smile and said,"He Ye, it's Master Yi who's confused." I'm here to apologize to you."
"I also apologize to you solemnly for saying the wrong thing just now," Liu Haizhong quickly said.”
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so reckless."”
Yi Zhonghai wanted to clear his name." Actually, I was thinking that He Ye was promoted to an engineer today. He earns 128 yuan a month. He definitely doesn't care about that little bit of money."”
"When we compensated Jia Zhang-shi and the others, it was also a kind of pity for their family. However, we didn't expect to mess up the matter.”
