Lin Yang stopped taking out his keys, took out a pack of Peony tea from his pocket, took one out for himself, and handed one to Sha Zhu.
"Judging from your appearance, you must know something. Tell me about it."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Sha Zhu hesitated.
I didn't really want to tell Lin Yang about the gossip from the old man's family, since the old man had been quite kind to him.
"Fine, if you don't want to talk, then forget it." Seeing that Sha Zhu wouldn't talk, Lin Yang immediately put away his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "Does this courtyard house have some secret that no one will know if you don't tell me?"
"No, no, no, I'll talk!" Sha Zhu saw that Lin Yang seemed really angry, so he quickly said, "Then Yangzi, do you think we should just let this interrogation go? I really have nothing to do with the Teng family."
"Forget it? Do you think I'm just talking nonsense, or do you think I'm retaliating against you for saying I'm going to interrogate you?" At this point, Lin Yang glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "So you don't want to be interrogated? Do you really have some kind of relationship with the Teng family?"
"How could that be!" Sha Zhu exclaimed excitedly, "I have absolutely no connection with the Teng family!"
He knew perfectly well what things could be related and what things absolutely could not be related.
Nowadays, the Teng family is nothing but filth; anyone who gets even a little bit involved with them will be doomed.
"It doesn't matter, just interrogate him and he'll be cleared of all charges!" Lin Yang said leisurely.
Although Lin Yang had only casually mentioned interrogating Sha Zhu, he had to carry it out since he had said it, lest people accuse him of retaliation.
"Alright." Sha Zhu nodded helplessly.
This mess has made him truly regret getting involved.
"Tell me, what exactly happened to that old man?" Lin Yang handed the cigarette to Sha Zhu again, then took out his keys to open the door.
It's quite cold outside. It would be foolish to stay outside and freeze.
Taking the cigarette, Sha Zhu lit it himself, then glanced back at the old man's house before whispering to Lin Yang:
"Then I'll tell you something, but you mustn't tell anyone else!"
"Speak." Lin Yang tapped the mud off the bicycle wheels, then pushed the bike behind the house and said impatiently, "You're a grown man, why are you dawdling like this?"
"Okay, close the door first." Sha Zhu glanced behind him and followed him into the house.
He was afraid that he would gossip here, but an old man came out of the house and saw him.
Lin Yang didn't say anything to this. He turned around, closed the door, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger next to him. Then he sat down in the chair and said leisurely, "Can you talk now?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Sha Zhu said, glancing at Lin Yang's furnishings. When he looked at the radio on the table, a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.
He had wanted to buy this for a long time, but unfortunately, while he had the money, he simply couldn't get the ticket.
Who would have thought that Lin Yang would actually be able to get his hands on it?
Despite his envy, he didn't delay and slowly recounted to Lin Yang what had happened at the old man's house the previous night:
"Didn't that old man say he was going to donate a month's salary to the Jia family when he held a big meeting before?"
"As a result, he secretly gave Jia Zhangshi three hundred yuan that night without telling the old lady. Coincidentally, the old lady caught him giving her the money that night!"
"Is that all?" Lin Yang asked doubtfully. "Didn't the old lady also support the old man helping other people?"
"Yes, the older woman supported the older man in helping others, but Jia Zhangshi wasn't behaving herself that night." Sha Zhu suddenly let out a sly laugh as he said this:
"I heard that Jia Zhangshi even touched an old man's hand that night!"
"There were rumors in the courtyard that when Jia Zhangshi was young, she had an ambiguous relationship with Uncle Yi, my father, and Xu Damao's father."
"Now, an older woman thinks that an older man has reverted to his old ways and is having an affair with Jia Zhangshi again."
"Do you think an old lady would recognize her?!"
To be honest, Lin Yang's first reaction after hearing Sha Zhu's words was disbelief.
really!
When the old man was young, he had an affair with Jia Zhangshi for a period of time.
But Jia Zhangshi is already this old.
If this old man still wants to make a move on her now, then he must have a really good set of teeth!
At this time, an old man was at home.
Yi Zhonghai explained it to the older woman in the same way, repeatedly emphasizing that he had been wronged.
With Jia Zhangshi's fat face, he felt nauseous just looking at her; how could he possibly be interested in getting involved with her?
But Yi Zhonghai knew it in his heart.
I did have ill intentions last night.
The reason I agreed with the Jia family yesterday to give them an additional 300 yuan is because...
It was because he had calculated that Jia Zhangshi had gone to the hospital to accompany Jia Dongxu the previous night.
Qin Huairu was the only one left at home in the courtyard, so if someone came to ask him for money, it could only be Qin Huairu.
After paying the money, I might be able to express my desire to have a child with her. If that doesn't work, I could at least touch her hand.
He had arranged the location, and they agreed to meet inside the back room.
That way, even if someone sees them going out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, they can explain that they're going to the toilet.
But nobody knows what happened that night.
It turned out to be Jia Zhangshi who came, and Jia Zhangshi even mistakenly thought that she wanted to rekindle their past relationship.
He didn't say much as soon as he entered the door, and immediately started touching his own hand.
He didn't say anything after that, and then an older woman who had been following him broke down the door.
"Yi Zhonghai, I'm talking to you, and you're still spacing out!" The old lady became even more irritated when she saw that the old man hadn't answered her question. Her usually good-tempered tone involuntarily became louder.
The old man was quite upset because he hadn't gotten any advantage, had been touched by Jia Zhangshi, and even lost 300 yuan for nothing.
At that moment, he immediately said in a very unpleasant tone, "Ask, ask, ask!!! What's so interesting about asking every single day!"
"Fine!" The middle-aged woman said, clutching her chest and looking angry.
"You still dare to argue?!"
"When you were young, you had an affair with Jia Zhangshi. I thought you were just a crony, so I turned a blind eye!"
"I won't say anything if you give money to the Jia family now; I'll take it as you doing good deeds!"
"But you're so old now, what are you after by still getting involved with Jia Zhangshi!"
"Are you disgusted that I can't have children, and want Jia Zhangshi to have your children?!"
"You heartless bastard! It's all your fault that I can't have children!"
"If you hadn't been chasing after prostitutes and contracted STDs when you were young!"
"And I even inherited these diseases. How can I not have children?!"
I heard an older woman start bringing up old grievances, especially touching on her sore spots.
Yi Zhonghai could no longer hold back.
I got up and wanted to slap the old lady.
But the next moment, the middle-aged woman took a step back and said coldly:
"Yi Zhonghai, you dare to lay a finger on me!"
“I immediately told the whole hospital just how hypocritical this respected old man really was! And how filthy he was in private!”
