Chapter 432

Back in the day.

If he had given the money to Sha Zhu and He Yushui, the brother and sister would have had no need to owe him any gratitude.

At that time, Sha Zhu had already started working at the rolling mill.

With his own strength, he could have become a head chef.

Yi Zhonghai now took it all upon himself.

Besides, the one who kicked Xu Damao into becoming sterile.

Wasn't that a scheme concocted by Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady?

Xu Damao had mocked him as a childless man.

So Yi Zhonghai viciously made Sha Zhu strike, turning Xu Damao into a childless man as well.

Sha Zhu still couldn't grasp this logic.

But He Great Qing was not Sha Zhu.

"Yi Zhonghai, stop your nonsense."

"Before I even left the Sihe Academy, you were all day long deceiving my son, making him call you father, making him say he would support you in your old age!"

"I saw through your little tricks long ago."

"When I left back then, I left them money. You old deadbeat actually swallowed it!"

"If it weren't for you, my son would be the head chef at the rolling mill too!"

"Can those few stinky coins of yours make up for the miserable life my son was tricked into because of you?"

"You and the Deaf Old Lady conspired to deceive my son, making him turn Xu Damao into a childless man!"

"Xu Damao, you've got the wrong person."

"It's this old thing Yi Zhonghai, with his black heart, who wants you to become a childless man just like him!"

In this regard, Sha Zhu was still not as good as his father.

Anyway, now that the Deaf Old Lady is dead, no one knows the truth of what happened back then.

He Great Qing can say whatever he wants.

Xu Damao had originally been watching the spectacle in the crowd.

He never expected the fire to be drawn onto himself.

Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady conspired to make Sha Zhu attack him?

That wasn't impossible.

After all.

Yi Zhonghai himself is a childless man; he can't stand to see others do well, so saying this is normal.

"Yi Zhonghai, that old bastard, why don't you go die!"

"Just you wait; tomorrow I'll go to the rolling mill and report you!"

Xu Damao believed He Great Qing's words.

Yi Zhonghai choked.

He Great Qing was right; he was indeed in the right, and the matter back then was exactly that.

But Xu Damao actually wanted to report him?

That wouldn't do.

He looked at Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, don't let He Great Qing deceive you with a few words."

"The matter back then was all planned by the Deaf Old Lady and Sha Zhu; I didn't participate."

Shifting the blame.

That's right.

As long as he didn't admit it, that would be enough.

Anyway, the Deaf Old Lady is dead.

He Great Qing would use this condition; he, Yi Zhonghai, would use it too.

Having finished speaking.

Yi Zhonghai looked at He Great Qing again and said, "He Great Qing, I've already calculated the accounts; Sha Zhu still owes me five hundred yuan."

"Seeing you are pitiful, I won't ask for that much; just give me fifty yuan."

That's right.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to argue about past matters.

Measuring it with money.

This was his plan.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Yi Zhonghai is truly shameless; he's even asking Sha Zhu for money."

"Can he afford to compensate Sha Zhu and He Yushui for all the hardships they've endured these many years?"

"Sha Zhu was harmed by the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai conspiring together; Yi Zhonghai should go to prison!"

"He still thinks he's noble and high-minded; what a thing!"

"Pah!"

"Who doesn't know who?"

There were still a few people speaking up for Sha Zhu.

Lu Jianye nodded slightly.

These old folks must have figured something out by now.

Sha Zhu does have some connections with people.

And Yi Zhonghai's image has completely collapsed — no one believes what he says anymore.

Yi Zhonghai was starting to panic; he hadn't expected anyone to still be helping Sha Zhu.

On the contrary, his own reputation in the compound had always been excellent.

But after several incidents and the collapse of his image, he was completely done for — not a single person spoke up for him.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had lost his confidence, Yi Auntie said: "He Great Qing, you just beat my son half to death — you're paying the medical bills now!"

"Give me twenty yuan, or I'm calling the police, and I'll have you sent back to re-education through labor!"

What?

One re-education through labor.

One call to the police.

This had hit He Great Qing right where it hurt!

His face went white with fright on the spot.

In this lifetime, he never wanted to go back there again.

Even if he had to go back, he'd rather just drop dead first.

Good lord.

Lu Jianye wanted to give Yi Auntie a thumbs-up.

That reaction speed was way too fast.

Sha Zhu and He Great Qing had no money at all — between the two of them, they barely scraped together one yuan and thirty cents.

Liang Ladi had been watching the show at first.

Now that money was involved, she wasn't having any of it.

She stepped forward and said: "Yi Zhonghai, you just had He Great Qing beaten to his knees."

"His knees are practically shattered now — you owe him compensation too."

"He Great Qing is the breadwinner of my family — he earns five yuan a day."

"He needs to lie up in the hospital for a month — you owe us one hundred and fifty yuan."

One hundred and fifty yuan?

Goodness.

Liang Ladi was even more formidable.

By that reckoning, Yi Zhonghai actually owed Sha Zhu's family money.

Lu Jianye wanted to laugh.
