Chapter 2202
The Difference Between Good People and Beasts
In order to control the courtyard house, Yi Zhonghai had long since thoroughly studied the people living there.
He could tell from the expressions on the faces of the people in the courtyard that they had taken Xu Damao's words to heart.
He immediately became a little anxious.
Recently, he has been trying to ease the tension with the people in the hospital and has been actively offering suggestions to everyone.
The purpose is to encourage those who have money to contribute, and those who don't to borrow money, to help him through this difficult time.
With Xu Damao's interference, his plan is no longer feasible, at least not in the short term.
"Damn Xu Damao."
Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists, wishing he could go out and teach Xu Damao a lesson.
But he couldn't; he couldn't let the people in the courtyard notice anything amiss.
"I'm not eating anymore. I'm so angry with Xu Damao that I'm full."
Yi Zhonghai left the table directly, giving Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui a wink as he left.
Liu Haizhong immediately got up and left with Yi Zhonghai.
Yan Bugui, however, did not. He ate heartily until he was full before leaving.
When Liu Haizhong saw him, he said, "What time is it? You're still thinking about food."
Yi Zhonghai was also somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Bugui's behavior, and said, "You don't know him. Even if it's raining knives from the sky, it won't stop him from taking advantage."
If he doesn't eat it, wouldn't that be a loss for him?
Yan Bugui said, "Xu Damao made you angry, so why are you taking it out on me?"
Qin Huairu has worked so hard to prepare this meal. If you don't eat it, isn't that a waste?
"If you're getting a good deal, you're getting a good deal. Don't try to pin it on Qin Huairu."
"Qin Huairu is not that kind of person," Liu Haizhong retorted.
He continued, "After this incident, I've come to understand."
The most filial child in the courtyard was Qin Huairu.
Look, even after such a big thing happened, he's the only one who's taken care of us without a single complaint.
Yan Bugui lowered his head, pretending not to hear.
Yi Zhonghai sighed.
If he hadn't hidden the items so well, who could guarantee that the current situation could have continued?
He now finally understood why the deaf old lady had pretended to be deaf.
One cannot be a father-in-law without being deaf and mute.
If you have to be so meticulous about everything, you'll be doomed when it comes to retirement.
Liu Haizhong didn't understand what the two meant and looked at them with a puzzled expression.
What's wrong with you?
Yi Zhonghai said, "It's nothing. We've been trying to ease the tension with the people in the compound, and it was almost done, but that bastard Xu Damao ruined it again."
Liu Haizhong forgot his earlier question: "Who says otherwise?"
He just can't stand seeing us doing well.
"So, are we still going to bring up the matter of holding a hospital-wide meeting?"
Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "Let's not talk about it for now."
Yan Bugui shared the same idea, so Liu Haizhong had no choice but to give up.
His three sons were unfilial, and he was getting old; Liu Haizhong no longer had the confidence he used to have.
Xu Damao angrily found He Yuzhu and told him about what happened at the courtyard house.
He Yuzhu asked him, "Why did you go back?"
“I was just bored,” Xu Damao said. “Tell me, aren’t they shameless?”
"You're only just realizing how shameless they are? Tell me, what news did you find out when you got back?" He Yuzhu asked.
Xu Damao whispered, "I heard that Qin Huairu initially caused trouble for Yi Zhonghai."
Once Yan Bugui sold the inkstone and paid for the surgery, Qin Huairu stopped making a fuss.
Could it be that Yan Bugui gave her all the remaining money as living expenses?
"What do you say?"
That's an idiotic question. Who is Yan Bugui? He considers it a loss if he doesn't pick up anything when he goes out.
He sold the antiques, made money, and then swindled several children out of 5,000 yuan each.
Because of this, the children stopped visiting him. Yan Jiecheng also moved out of the courtyard house.
Yan Bugui would only be willing to spend money if the sun rose in the west.
Of the three old men, probably only Liu Haizhong would be fooled into spending money.
"Then where did their money come from?" Xu Damao knew he had asked a stupid question.
He just couldn't understand where the money for the courtyard house came from if Yan Bugui didn't contribute any money and Liu Haizhong didn't have any.
He Yuzhu said confidently, "Who else could it be but Yi Zhonghai?"
Xu Damao said doubtfully, "That doesn't make sense either. If Qin Huai really got all of Yi Zhonghai's money, would he still treat him so well?"
"Stupid," He Yuzhu cursed. "Do you think Yi Zhonghai is stupid?"
He might only give a portion of the money; it's impossible for him to give all of it to Qin Huairu.
Xu Damao said, "You're the stupid one. Do you think I don't know he won't take out all his money?"
What I mean is, if Qin Huai were that honest, wouldn't she find a way to get her hands on those things?
Previously, it was fine as long as Yi Zhonghai didn't reveal those things.
This time they've been exposed. Will Qin Huai let this go?
Letting it go is of course impossible.
But Yi Zhonghai isn't stupid; he must have hidden the things well in advance.
Throughout Sha Zhu's life, it wasn't until his dying breath that Yi Zhonghai told Qin Huairu where the item was hidden.
It's impossible to say that Qin Huairu hadn't contacted him before.
Qin Huairu has repeatedly used the pretext of doing what's best for the elderly to renovate the houses in the courtyard.
It's impossible that they didn't take the opportunity to search for Yi Zhonghai's things.
As it turned out, they couldn't find it.
As for what Yi Zhonghai actually left behind, Sha Zhu didn't know either.
When Sha Zhu was kicked out, he begged Qin Huairu for help.
Qin Huairu seemed to say something like, "I was deceived by Yi Zhonghai my whole life."
Sha Zhu, who only remembered Yi Zhonghai's good points, even defended Yi Zhonghai, and was kicked twice by Bang Geng.
He Yuzhu guessed that what Yi Zhonghai left behind might not have satisfied Qin Huairu.
Without that foolish Zhu, Qin Huai would have to make a move on Yi Zhonghai if he wanted to make a living.
It's just that I don't know whether Qin Huairu or Yi Zhonghai has better methods.
He Yuzhu wasn't in a hurry.
Yi Zhonghai and his companions were in relatively good physical condition and capable of resisting.
Now is not the time to kick them out of the house. Let Qin Huai slowly torture them like a dull knife.
Once Qin Huairu has completely drained their spirits, that will be the day they are kicked out of the courtyard house.
That day is not far away.
He Yuzhu was afraid that Xu Damao would ruin things, so he told him: "You should go to the courtyard house less often."
"Don't let yourself fall into their trap at any time."
Xu Damao said, "What are you afraid of? They're like toothless tigers now."
"Why would I be afraid of them?"
He Yuzhu said, "Anyway, I've reminded you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."
Seeing that He Yuzhu didn't seem to be just saying it casually, Xu Damao explained, "I went to the courtyard house for no other reason than to provoke them."
Didn't you say that Qin Huairu's family would eventually kick them out of the house?
I'll add fuel to the fire.
He Yuzhu saw that he didn't seem to be lying, so he said, "Why are you in such a hurry? They're so young, even if they're kicked out, nothing bad will happen to them."
If you provoke Qin Huai into taking action against them, you're helping them.
Xu Damao was taken aback, and then realized that He Yuzhu was right.
"Those three old bastards are really lucky. They've been through so much; most people wouldn't have been able to handle it."
The three of them acted as if nothing had happened.
"That's the difference between a good person and a beast," He Yuzhu said. "As long as they can still move and scheme against others, they won't admit defeat." (End of Chapter)
