Chapter 300: Concerns in the Bangs
At this time, Yi Zhonghai walked into the house of the deaf old lady in the backyard, smiling, carrying a plate of fragrant scrambled eggs. He gently placed the plate on the table, his eyes flashing with pride and joy, and shared his joy with the deaf old lady:
"Old lady, I'm here to tell you good news! I have good news for you. Director Yang has been arrested! Look how he looked down on me before, and now he is being retaliated against. It really is a changing world! Hahaha..."
When the deaf old lady heard the news, the chopsticks that were originally reaching for the scrambled eggs paused in the air, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head and looked at Yi Zhonghai with her extremely perceptive eyes, and asked uncertainly: "Uncle, tell me honestly, was it you who reported Director Yang?"
Yi Zhonghai saw the deaf old lady asking this, and quickly waved his hands and explained: "Old lady, you think too much. How could it be that I reported it? Although I have a grudge against Director Yang, I would not do such a thing.
I think this was most likely done by He Yuzhu. He is a man who will never give up until he has a grudge. The incident he did last time was planned by Director Yang, so he will definitely find a chance to get back at him. "
The deaf old lady was slightly relieved after hearing Yi Zhonghai's explanation, but the vigilance in her eyes had not completely disappeared. She looked at Yi Zhonghai's gloating expression, frowned, and said earnestly:
"Yi Zhonghai, since this matter has nothing to do with you, you shouldn't be so obvious. After all, our deal with Director Yang still exists. If He Yuzhu finds out that this matter is related to us, who knows if he will retaliate against us."
Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he heard the deaf old lady's words, and realized that he was indeed a little too proud of himself. He quickly restrained the smile on his face and said solemnly:
"Old lady, you are right. I was careless this time and did not take these into consideration. Don't worry, I will be more cautious in the future."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai picked up a piece of scrambled eggs and handed it to the deaf old lady's bowl. His face regained its usual gentleness and respect: "Old lady, please try this scrambled egg. How does it taste?"
......
"Old Liu! You really don't know how arrogant Jia Zhang is today. I'm so pissed off!"
The second aunt was in the kitchen, preparing to cook. When she saw Liu Haizhong coming in, she hurried out and started complaining impatiently, with a bit of indignation in her tone.
Liu Haizhong was in a good mood today. He was not angry when he saw Second Auntie suddenly complaining to him. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked with a playful smile:
"Oh? Why was she so arrogant? You didn't fight back?"
The second aunt glared at Liu Haizhong. Knowing that he was in a good mood today, she deliberately stretched out her tone and said, "I wanted to retort, but when I thought of you, I held back." As she spoke, she deliberately sighed, as if she was considering Liu Haizhong.
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Oh? For me? Tell me about it."
The second aunt glanced at Liu Haizhong and saw that he was really listening, so she continued, "Today Qin Huairu came back to the courtyard to see her. She took the mung bean cake that Qin Huairu bought for her and sat in the courtyard smacking her lips. The sound was so loud that the whole courtyard could hear it."
As the second aunt spoke, she deliberately imitated the sound of Jia Zhang's smacking lips, with a look of disdain on her face.
"I kindly reminded her to speak in a low voice and not disturb others. Guess what she said?" The second aunt paused and looked at Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and motioned for the second aunt to continue.
"She actually said that I was jealous of her!" The second aunt said this with a bit of anger on her face, "Isn't it infuriating? What am I jealous of her for? Am I jealous of her, an old lady, showing off her ex-daughter-in-law's things in the yard?"
After listening to Second Aunt's description, Liu Haizhong frowned, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure. He turned his head slightly, focused his eyes on Second Aunt, and spoke with a bit of urgency in his tone:
"Qin Huairu is back? How does she look? Are there any abnormal symptoms?" The second uncle's eyes revealed his concern for Qin Huairu's condition, and also revealed his worry about what might happen next.
The second aunt looked back at Liu Haizhong and frowned in confusion, "I saw that she was in a good mood and smiling. What's wrong?" She tried to read some information from Liu Haizhong's expression, but Liu Haizhong's expression was too complicated for her to understand.
Seeing that the second aunt did not understand his concerns, Liu Haizhong moved closer to her and said in a low voice, "What I did before was successful, and now Director Yang has been arrested.
You said Qin Huairu seemed to be in a good mood, I am worried that the situation might have changed, if Director Yang is okay..."
The second uncle did not continue to say the rest, but the nervousness and uneasiness in his voice were as if his heart was hanging in the air and could fall to the ground at any time.
When the second aunt heard what Liu Haizhong said, her face suddenly became serious. She nodded and answered carefully:
"What you said does make sense. Maybe things have really changed. We really have to be careful recently and must not let anything slip." Her voice was full of vigilance and caution, as if she was reminding Liu Haizhong and herself.
After listening to what the second aunt said, Liu Haizhong showed an expression of approval on his face and nodded repeatedly, as if to emphasize his determination.
Then, he suddenly thought of his apprentice Fang Ziqing, and realized that he might not know this important news yet. So, he stood up eagerly, with a trace of worry and anxiety on his face.
He turned to face the second aunt, and said in a serious and anxious manner: "I have to go to Ziqing's house and inform him of this matter. You can eat by yourselves tonight, and you don't have to wait for me."
The second aunt looked at him and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but Liu Haizhong was already walking towards the door with big strides. As he walked, he turned back and said to the second aunt, "I'll be back soon." But his steps did not hesitate.
The second aunt looked at Liu Haizhong's hurriedly departing back, her hand paused in the air, her fingers slightly bent as if she wanted to grab something, but finally let it go.
She knew the seriousness of the matter, and also knew Liu Haizhong's character. Once he decided on something, he would do it immediately without delay. She looked at the empty door, shook her head, and turned back to the kitchen.
Second Auntie knew that she didn't need to cook any new dishes tonight. Liu Haizhong was not at home, so the family could just eat the leftovers.
