Yi Zhonghai never expected that He Hongyang would know these things.
That was indeed what He Daqing told him before he left.
He felt that his three children were too young to understand, and that Yi Zhonghai was trustworthy, so he entrusted the money to him for safekeeping.
But once the money was in Yi Zhonghai's hands, he had no intention of taking it out.
Anyway, He Daqing has already run away, and the He siblings hate him to the bone.
Ba 5 Er 1 Ling 4 Er 7 Ba
Nobody would have thought about money.
If he were to embezzle the money, no one would know!
Who knew that He Hongyang would suddenly appear out of nowhere, and that he knew everything?
Yi Zhonghai didn't want to admit it and argued illogically.
“That’s completely untrue. My family lives the best life in the courtyard house. How could I embezzle the He family’s living expenses?”
"He Hongyang, don't wrong me."
Even at this point, he was still trying to defend himself.
It seems he neither wants to pay the money nor save face.
"The letter is in your house right now, as are the 100 yuan he left behind and the 5 yuan he sends every month. All that money has our He family's special mark on it. Do you dare let me go to your house to look for it?"
Zhang Dajun never expected that something like this would happen.
Yi Zhonghai is incredibly audacious; he actually dared to embezzle the He family's money!
As the director of the military control office, he had to stand up and say something.
"Since He Hongyang's statement is reasonable and well-founded, you might as well take out the money and letter. If there is no evidence on them, then we can let this matter go. If there is evidence, then you are guilty of embezzling the He siblings' living expenses!"
Yi Zhonghai realized the seriousness of the situation.
He Hongyang is really something, bringing this up in front of Zhang Dajun and the entire hospital.
If he doesn't take it, everyone will suspect him.
Moreover, judging from Zhang Dajun's behavior, he might even go to his house and search it.
The letter and money are in the drawer; once they look through it, the truth will be revealed.
Now how to do?
Is he going to be defeated by He Hongyang tonight?
The woman was so frightened that her legs were trembling.
She disagreed with the matter from the beginning and repeatedly tried to persuade Yi Zhonghai to return it to the owner.
But Yi Zhonghai said that the three people from the He family are now no different from cripples, and even if they embezzled their money, they wouldn't know.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang has stepped forward!
Then look at Zhang Dajun's appearance.
If they don't hand it over voluntarily, it could cause trouble if they actually find it at home.
How will they be able to live in this courtyard then?
They wanted to discuss things with Yi Zhonghai, but there was simply no opportunity.
In her desperation, she simply took out the letter and the money all at once.
36. Fortune changes like the wind.
"These are all the letters, and this is the money. He Daqing was gone for 10 months, and this totals 150 yuan. Look at the markings on the money; I haven't shortchanged a single penny. I'm returning it all to you."
Actually, there were no markings on the money; He Hongyang was just trying to scare them.
Unexpectedly, the older woman was so startled that she immediately took it out.
Everyone was in an uproar!
I never expected Yi Zhonghai to do something like this.
The He family was barely making ends meet, yet he still dared to embezzle their living expenses.
Isn't this trying to push them to their doom?
Fortunately, He Hongyang was quick-witted and seized on his weakness.
Fortunately, Zhang Dajun was there, otherwise he would have continued to deny it.
He really knows people and faces but not their hearts.
Master Yi, who has always been highly respected, actually did such a thing.
"It seems that he is the one who has really done something shameful in our department."
“I used to think highly of him, but I never expected him to do something like this.”
"If the He family had that much money, they wouldn't be living like this."
“He Hongyang has turned the He family around on his own. It seems we can’t underestimate them in the future.”
"The wheel of fortune turns. I thought today would be the day to criticize He Hongyang, but it turned out to be the day to criticize Yi Zhonghai."
Listening to everyone's discussion and seeing that they were all looking at him, Yi Zhonghai was almost too embarrassed to face them.
What to do now?
Who can give him a way out?
An older woman walked up to He Hongyang.
"Your Uncle Yi meant well. He was worried that it wouldn't be safe for you and your siblings to keep so much money in your hands, so he's temporarily keeping it for you."
“Hongyang, don’t blame us. We’re an old couple who don’t have any children of our own. We treat you, Shazhu, and Yushui like our own children. We’re doing this for your own good.”
For his own good?
That old lady has the nerve to say that.
"So I should thank him? Tell him that from now on, he doesn't need to manage our family's money; he just needs to take care of his own family's affairs."
"He has no children of his own, yet he's always meddling in other people's children's affairs. Isn't that just being idle?"
"You clearly embezzled my family's living expenses, yet you claim it's for my own good. Why didn't you give me money when we were starving? Why didn't you give me money when my sister was wearing short-sleeved shirts?"
"No wonder you have no children. It seems you've done too many bad things, so you'll be childless your whole lives!"
This directly hit Yi Zhonghai and the old lady where it hurt.
Their faces were practically contorted in embarrassment.
He was so angry that his mouth was trembling.
But she didn't know how to refute He Hongyang.
After all, they were in the wrong in this matter, and if they argued with him now, Zhang Dajun would definitely side with the He family.
Jia Dongxu objected and stepped forward to protect Yi Zhonghai.
"Who says he has no children? I am his..."
He Hongyang sneered.
"You're not trying to say that you're his son, are you?"
"Yes, a master and his apprentice are like father and son, and I am his son."
"Your mother is Jia Zhangshi, and you are Yi Zhonghai's son. Doesn't that mean they're having an affair?"
"???"
These words left Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai, and the old woman speechless.
The people in the courtyard heard this.
They all burst into laughter.
Knowing he was no match for He Hongyang, Yi Zhonghai slunk home.
Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi still wanted to say a few words to salvage their reputations.
They could see the He brothers staring at them menacingly.
Knowing they couldn't win, they all slunk back home.
"Hahaha!"
The people in the courtyard laughed again when they saw them running away with their tails between their legs.
Tonight's battle.
It ended with He Hongyang's absolute victory!
Sha Zhu said happily, "Big brother, you're really amazing. You not only saved our family's reputation, but also brought back so much money. Now we won't have to live such a tight life anymore."
"Call her 'sister-in-law' first!"
Sha Zhu looked at Wang Liying and respectfully greeted her, "Sister-in-law."
He Hongyang took out 10 yuan: "This is a gift from your sister-in-law. We three siblings will each receive 50 yuan of this 150 yuan."
They wanted to give him money.
Sha Zhu declined.
“I go out to work every day, so I’d better let my older brother keep it for me.”
“Now that the eldest brother is the head of the family, you should be in charge of this money.”
Seeing their brotherly affection, Zhang Dajun nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.
Just like a family or a factory, it needs a leader.
He Hongyang is the leader of this family.
I believe that under his leadership, the He family's life will get better and better.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Ouch!"
Zhang Dajun clutched his back in pain, walking with a limp.
He Hongyang quickly stepped forward to support him: "What happened?"
"My old problem has flared up again. I used to have back pain when I was fighting. At night, it would hurt no matter whether I was standing, lying down, or sitting. Now it has affected my legs as well."
"It's cold tonight. I've only been standing for a short while, and I'm already about to collapse."
Upon hearing this, Wang Liying went inside to get a chair.
He Hongyang gave her a wink: "You go in and rest first. I have something to say to Director Zhang."
Since he has back pain, it's a good opportunity to try his traditional Chinese medicine skills.
If I could cure his illness, wouldn't their relationship become even closer?
Wouldn't it be much more convenient for him to ask Zhang Dajun for favors in the future?
Take the person to the small kitchen.
Then he lit a fire and had him sit down.
"My younger brother is back, and the house is a bit cramped, so I asked you to come here."
He understands that no one has a spacious house these days.
As soon as he sat down, He Hongyang took out a pulse pillow and placed it under his wrist.
Then he extended three fingers to take his pulse.
"The injury to your waist is caused by a combination of external and internal injuries. Do you often feel as if your waist has been cut in half, and you can't exert any strength in your body?"
Zhang Dajun nodded repeatedly.
