Chapter 523 The Deaf Old Lady Meets Liu Haizhong
Not long after Wang Tiedan left, Xu Damao, who had been depressed all day, also entered the yard.
Hearing the women in the front yard talking about children and crowing roosters again, he suddenly became furious.
He was about to curse, but faced with the surprised looks of the women, his momentum instantly weakened.
So many people, so many mouths.
I can’t afford to offend you. I really can’t afford to offend you.
The women also looked at Xu Damao until he disappeared in the middle courtyard, then they got up angrily and prepared to go home to cook.
The worst thing about gossip is that the person involved hears it, which is very embarrassing.
Another hour passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the residents in the courtyard, who had a premonition, had closed the doors and windows, waiting for the figure to come back.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Haizhong returned to the yard dragging his tired figure.
People hate him, ghosts despise him, and people on earth avoid him.
The smell is really too strong.
The second aunt had prepared water and rags early. When she saw someone coming back, she immediately went up to him and helped him to the stairs.
"Boss, this is not a good idea. If you can't do it, just go to the moat to wash. It's hot and convenient, don't you think?"
Yi Zhonghai thought about it and felt that it made sense. He said weakly, "Okay, tomorrow you prepare clothes and soap for me, and I will go to the moat to wash. However, if this happens every day in the future, I don't plan to do it anymore."
"Boss, we will have to live off our savings. All the money has been taken away by the boss. We won't be able to hold on for a few more days."
"You can't let me die of exhaustion!"
"If you work less, can they fire you?"
"I won't fire you, but my salary will be deducted."
"Hey, when will this day end?"
The second aunt sighed, saying that there was also an element of performance in this scene, because the deaf old lady was sitting on the doorstep of her house, watching the two of them busying themselves.
"Okay, just bear with it, things will get better!"
I rubbed my bangs and felt much more comfortable.
The washing lasted for twenty minutes, and the deaf old lady also watched for twenty minutes. Seeing that Liu Haizhong and his wife were about to go into the house, the deaf old lady waved to the second aunt.
Although the second aunt was confused, she still approached the deaf old lady.
"Old lady, why are you looking for me? I don't have any meat for you to eat at home."
The deaf old lady rolled her eyes and dealt a critical blow with her first sentence.
"Is everything hidden?"
The second aunt didn't expect the deaf old lady to say this as her first sentence, and her face became very unnatural.
"Old lady, something is hidden, why don't I understand."
"It's okay if you don't understand. Ask Liu Haizhong. Come find me when you've figured it out! Hey, I get tired easily when I'm old. I need to go home and rest."
As she spoke, the deaf old lady stood up with the help of the door frame, went back into the house, and gave the second aunt a meaningful smile before leaving.
The second aunt didn't dare to delay, so she hurried back home and told Liu Haizhong everything.
If it were in the past, Liu Haizhong would definitely be very panicked.
But now, with the experience of being a leader for some time, he is not as timid as before.
"Since this old woman wants me to find her, then I will go find her. What's the big deal?"
After saying that, Liu Haizhong went to the back of the plaster statue to take a look. After making sure that the marks had dried, he felt much more relieved.
The property was safe for the time being, and he didn't believe the deaf old lady would know.
Carrying a teacup, he came to the deaf old lady's house, and Liu Haizhong still pretended that he knew nothing.
"Madam, I heard Qiao Yun say you were looking for me, but she didn't explain clearly. What's the matter?"
The deaf old lady sat by the bed, looking at the bangs, her deep eyes showing shrewdness.
You dare to fool me, I'm afraid you are not experienced enough.
"All the things in Zhonghai are in your possession, right? You must have embezzled a lot of them before, right?"
One sentence was like two thunders, almost breaking Liu Haizhong's defense.
The matter was so secretive, yet the deaf old lady knew about it.
However, he is no longer a weakling now.
"What Zhonghai stuff? What corruption? Old lady, don't talk nonsense. It will kill people."
"I'll die if I want to. Anyway, I'm not the one who died. What will they do if I tell others that you've hidden a lot of good stuff?"
"Old lady, you can't slander me with empty words. If you want to do this, I don't mind exposing your past."
Although Liu Haizhong is stupid, he knows that he cannot be led by the deaf old lady.
He has some leverage over the deaf old lady.
For example, the reason why He Daqing left, the deaf old lady's partnership with Yi Zhonghai to deceive Sha Zhu, and the deaf old lady's background, etc.
Not deadly but disgusting.
Little did they know that the deaf old lady had already thought of this.
"Hmph, I don't care. I'm just an old lonely woman, what do I have to fear? They can still put me in jail, but some people are different. They are only in their fifties and still have decades to live. I'm afraid my three sons will have to live with the name of a corrupt official."
"Old deaf man, don't think that others will believe your nonsense!"
"So, tell me, do you trust me, a five-guarantee household, or you, a reform prisoner?"
"I am innocent, I am not afraid of you!"
"Whether you are innocent or not, only others can know after they investigate. You have been an official, and you know the methods of those people. Even if you can bear it, your Qiaoyun can bear it, so can you. Then tell me, can your Guangqi and his wife bear it? Will they order you before it even starts?"
The bangs were already red and warm.
There is no need to think about it. Liu Guangqi is so selfish that he will definitely betray him.
But it’s no use admitting it at this time, as the deaf old lady obviously has bad intentions.
"It's up to you. I'm innocent anyway. I'm not afraid of being investigated!"
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but the deaf old lady said something again, which almost made him stumble.
"It's okay if you don't admit it. Then be careful next time you move it, don't let me see it. Oh, and Liu Guangqi, be gentle when you're rummaging through things.
When someone comes to investigate, don't blame me for being nosy! "
A "transfer" and Liu Guangqi rummaging through things made Liu Haizhong dare not to stop the deaf old lady from knowing how much.
After all, we live next door, and no one can explain what we saw or heard.
"Old lady, all the money in my house was taken away by Guangqi. I didn't embezzle anything, and I didn't take anything from Yi Zhonghai. Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
"Nothing to do, you have to give me Yi Zhonghai's things, they are all mine!" said the deaf old lady seriously.
She was bluffing and believed that Liu Haizhong would fall for it.
But I underestimated the importance of these things in Liu Haizhong's eyes.
That is the guarantee of Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt's future lives, how could they possibly give it away.
After a brief hesitation, Liu Haizhong said impatiently: "Old lady, I don't know anything about Yi Zhonghai. If you want to say something, just say it. The mouth is on your body.
As for the embezzlement, it's just a few pieces of jewelry. At worst I'll hand it over tomorrow. Anyway, I won't let you get away with it!"
After saying this, he didn't hesitate any more and walked out the door.
The deaf old lady didn't expect that she would miscalculate, and she was so angry that she blew her beard and glared.
"Liu Haizhong, you can do it, we'll see!"
