Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 423 Demanding Accounts

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's collar was instantly wet: He had been drunk with Wang Hongtao last time, could it be that he let it slip at that time? Otherwise, how could he know, and even specify ten yuan? ! !

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in dwelling on this issue any longer.

"That's true, I put all the money in an iron box. I was planning to give it to Yu Shui when she found a partner." Yi Zhonghai answered after organizing his thoughts.

"When Daqing left, the rain was still light and Zhuzi was a loose man, so I didn't tell them about this, fearing that Zhuzi would spend the money recklessly. But I didn't touch a penny of the money and saved it all. If you don't believe me, I'll give it to you right now!"

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai actually took out a large iron box from the house and opened it.

"Daqing started sending money at the end of May 1st. At first, we used the old currency, which was 10,000 yuan equivalent to one yuan today. I converted it into new currency and kept it. It has been less than 11 years now."

"You can count whatever you want in this iron box. Ten dollars a month, including the remittance slip, are all in it. If one dollar is missing, you can report it to the police and sue me!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai became more and more excited as he spoke, no longer caring whether what he said made sense or not.

If you can't even deceive yourself, how can you deceive others?

Several people present.

The auntie must have known the whole story. It was even her idea to prepare the money and remittance slips in advance in case of emergency.

Wang Hongtao was familiar with the plot and naturally knew everything about the matter.

Sha Zhu is easy to fool. He had been completely brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai. Moreover, he was supported in marrying Sun Xiaoying. Now even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to be his father, he would be happy!

Sun Xiaoying had little to do with the matter, but she felt that there was something fishy going on. However, as a newcomer, she obviously couldn't guess the inside story.

Only He Yushui was the most shocked.

She never imagined that her biological father, whom she had misunderstood for so many years, actually remembered her and sent her ten yuan every month for more than ten years.

On the other hand, I was also shocked by Yi Zhonghai's viciousness.

Keep it for her dowry? Ha... can she believe this? !

Think about how He Yushui has suffered from hunger and cold over the years, and she almost died! You said you saved the money to buy her a dowry?

Even a fool knows that the money for purchasing the dowry will be received in one lump sum, and the monthly payment can only be living expenses!

Yi Zhonghai has withheld her living expenses for ten whole years!

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was still so righteous, He Yushui really wanted to spill all the beans and turn the whole thing upside down!

At this time, Auntie stood up and said, "Yushui, Uncle did go too far in this matter. Please, for the sake of Uncle and his wife taking care of you and your sister, let this matter go. Okay?"

"I beg you, Auntie!"

Yi Zhonghai was busy picking up food and pretending to be deaf, but if you looked closely you could see that his hand holding the chopsticks was shaking, and he was obviously very nervous.

Shazhu was already drunk at this point, lying on the table in a daze and grinning foolishly.

With the addition of Sun Xiaoying and Qin Jingru who were unaware of the inside story, everyone in the room focused their attention on He Yushui.

After careful consideration, He Yushui finally decided not to turn against Yi Zhonghai. Maybe it was because she was kind-hearted, or maybe she felt that this matter could not kill Yi Zhonghai with one blow. Who knows?

She looked up and let out a long sigh, "I see, Auntie. I'll take the money today. And if my dad sends me more money in the future, you two won't have to keep it. Just give it to me directly."

Seeing that He Yushui did not break up, Yi Zhonghai suddenly came back to life: "Hey, I knew Yushui was a sensible person. I'll give you the money right away."

"It's less than eleven years, so let's calculate it as eleven years, the total is one thousand three hundred and two, I'll round it up to fifteen hundred for you, and the extra is..."

Wang Hongtao frowned. "Isn't this right, uncle? Shouldn't the round number be two thousand? How can one round it up to fifteen hundred?"

"Although I didn't see what happened back then, I can still feel the difficulty of the rain. What you did was really inconsiderate!"

"Of course, I know you have good intentions, but if this matter gets out, it will definitely not sound good!"

After hearing what Wang Hongtao said, Yi Zhonghai didn't think there was anything wrong, and immediately responded: "Yes, Xiao Wang, you are right. I am old and confused. I didn't expect this!"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai sorted out a thick stack of remittance slips and a neatly arranged box of money and handed them to Yu Shui, saying sincerely, "Come on, Yu Shui, count them to see if the numbers are correct. I have kept this money and the remittance slips for you. You must not misunderstand me because of this."

He Yushui took the money and counted it carefully twice, sniffed and said, "That's right, uncle."

"I'll take the money. You guys drink slowly. I'm going back first."

After saying that, He Yushui turned around and left, and Qin Jingru quickly followed.

He Yushui didn't cry or make a fuss, but that didn't mean she could forgive Yi Zhonghai. It was good enough that she could endure it and not show a bad face.

"This girl is getting angry. Let me help you persuade her!" Wang Hongtao smiled at Yi Zhonghai.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. Look how things turned out, it's all my fault!" Yi Zhonghai frowned in regret.

He really regretted it. If he had known, he should have given the money out after adopting the child last time. But he kept putting it off because he couldn't save face.

Who would have thought that this would have made him even more embarrassed!

……

After going out, He Yushui did not return to his own home but went to Wang Hongtao again.

"Wow...my father didn't ignore me. It turns out he has been sending me money all these years..."

"Wow...how could an old man do this? A few years ago, I couldn't stand the hunger anymore and came to him, but he didn't tell me this!"

“Wow…”

He Yushui threw herself into Wang Hongtao's arms and cried her heart out.

Wang Hongtao just stroked He Yushui's long hair and hugged her tightly to comfort her:

"Don't cry, rain water. It's all over. The hard times are over. We will be better and better in the future!"

……

"Yeah." After crying enough, He Yushui raised her head, tears in her eyes:

"Brother Tao, was my performance just now very bad? Should I have lost my temper right then and exposed the fact that Yi Zhonghai had deceived my father into giving me money?"

"I hate Yi Zhonghai so much, but I just don't dare. I don't have the courage."

Wang Hongtao smiled and held her face: "No, actually you performed very well."

"Look, Yi Zhonghai was well prepared. He put the remittance slip and the money in a metal box. As long as he took the metal box, it would be hard to conclude that he was trying to embezzle the money. At most, he was criticized and educated for his inappropriate behavior."

"And from what I can see, he may not have really thought about embezzling money."

He Yushui opened his eyes wide: "Didn't he ever think of stealing the money? Then why did he keep hiding the money?"

"Think about it. I'll give you a few hints. Your father, your brother..."

"Oh! I understand! You mean Yi Zhonghai wants my brother to take care of him in his old age! That's why..."

He Yushui suddenly realized: "No wonder Yi Zhonghai keeps saying how bad my dad is, it turns out this is what he was planning!"

"No, I have to tell my brother! I can't let my brother be kept in the dark!"
