Chapter 309

Unexpectedly, they were too heavy-handed and beat the man to death.

In the end.

The young wife’s husband paid thirty yuan in compensation, didn't go to jail, and didn't lose his job.

"If I had been beaten to death today, I guess it would have only cost a few dozen yuan in compensation, right?"

Yi Zhonghai felt a lingering fear.

After applying the safflower oil.

Yi Zhonghai went to find the Deaf Old Lady.

"Old lady, you have really caused me a world of misery."

As soon as he entered the door.

Yi Zhonghai started complaining.

"How did I set you up?"

The Deaf Old Lady looked at the bruised and swollen Yi Zhonghai, very confused.

In the morning, Yi Zhonghai was fine. How could he have been beaten into such a miserable state in just two or three hours?

"Sigh, I listened to you and went to follow He Great Qing to find Xiao Bai. I was mistaken for a hooligan and almost beaten to death."

Yi Zhonghai poured out his grievances.

"Why weren't you more careful?"

The Deaf Old Lady hadn't expected Yi Zhonghai to be in such a miserable state. His face, his neck, everywhere that could be seen was covered in blue and purple bruises.

His body was covered by his clothes, so she couldn't see, but it definitely couldn't be any better!

"It's not that I wasn't careful, it's that Xiao Bai is too cunning."

"Old Lady, I promised to give them one hundred yuan before they would let me go. I don't have that much money, can you lend me some? I'll pay you back when I get my salary."

Yi Zhonghai had no money left and had come to borrow some.

"Fine!"

"I'm an old lady, money is of no use to me, so I'll lend it to you!"

The Deaf Old Lady didn't want to lend the money.

But she knew very well that Yi Zhonghai had no money left.

Yi Zhonghai was carrying a huge debt to Wan Ping'an and wouldn't have any spare money for two or three years.

If he didn't pay the compensation, Yi Zhonghai would definitely be in an even more miserable state.

"Zhonghai, when you pay the money, take the opportunity to probe for Xiao Bai’s specific situation and see what exactly is going on between her and He Great Qing."

"You can't give her this one hundred yuan for nothing."

The Deaf Old Lady instructed.

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

Coming out of the Deaf Old Lady’s house, Yi Zhonghai ran into Liu Hai again.

"First Elder, looking at you like this, you must have been beaten. Tell me, who beat you?"

Liu Hai gloated.

"I already made it very clear, I accidentally fell into a deep ditch and got injured in the ditch, I wasn't beaten by anyone!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth.

He absolutely could not admit he had been beaten.

"Right, you fell into a ditch. There were a lot of people in the ditch, right?"

Liu Hai knew he wouldn't get an answer, so he turned and went home with a smile.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai beaten made him feel very comfortable, and he decided to go back and have the Second Aunt fry two more eggs so he could have a few drinks and celebrate!

"Damn Liu Hai!"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, wishing he could beat Liu Hai up.

He knew very well that even if he said he fell into a ditch, the people in the courtyard would definitely guess he had been beaten and would spread many versions of the story.

But he couldn't stop it.

Just as he reached the middle courtyard, he ran into Wan Ping'an, who had just returned.

Yi Zhonghai’s face turned even darker.

"First Elder, I heard you fell into a ditch. Was the ditch quite deep?"

"Isn't it quite a pitfall?"

Wan Ping'an teased with a smile.

Hmph!

Yi Zhonghai turned and left.

He went out with the money to find Xiao Bai.

Up to now, he only knew that the White Widow’s surname was Bai; he didn't know if she was married or if she had children.

Apart from what could be directly seen—female, in her thirties, very good-looking, with a very pleasant voice—all other information was a blank slate.

Soon.

He arrived at the large courtyard where Xiao Bai lived and had someone call her out.

"You can return my work permit to me now, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was a bit worried.

What if Xiao Bai didn't return his work permit?

If she asked for another one hundred yuan, he would have no choice but to accept his fate.

"Here!"

Xiao Bai took the one hundred yuan, her eyes shining brightly.

She could buy so many good things!

"Xiao Bai, what is your relationship with He Great Qing?"

Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively.

"Why are you asking about this?"

Xiao Bai became vigilant.

"To tell you the truth, I live in the same Sihe Academy as him, and I am the First Elder in the courtyard."

Yi Zhonghai didn't hide it.

"Then what was the meaning of you following me?"

Xiao Bai asked back.

"I wasn't following you. I saw He Great Qing with you and thought he had found a partner, so I was just concerned. I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding."

"Do you know He Great Qing’s background?"

Yi Zhonghai defended himself.

"Of course I know. He has a son and a daughter. The son is almost an adult, and the daughter is still young!"

Xiao Bai nodded.

When mentioning He Great Qing, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Wait, why are you trying to get close to me?"

"I'm telling you, this money is mine now, and I won't return it to you."

Xiao Bai realized what was happening.

She tucked the money into her clothes at her chest.

If Yi Zhonghai dared to snatch it, he would definitely be acting like a hooligan!

"You misunderstood. I gave you the one hundred yuan, and I won't ask for it back. I'm just concerned about your affairs with He Great Qing."

"You two aren't young anymore, have you ever thought about marrying He Great Qing?"

Yi Zhonghai continued to probe.

"Sigh, how could I not have thought about it?"

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the money was safe; as long as he didn't take it back, that was fine.

Thinking about her affairs with He Great Qing, she felt a wave of resentment.

Yi Zhonghai’s eyes lit up. There was something going on; there was definitely something going on here!
