604: I hope he can turn over a new leaf and become a better person.
"Yu Zhengxian?" Zhou Ziheng nodded. "It's a good name. It's upright and virtuous. It sounds righteous and upright. It's better than Dehua."
I didn't expect that the name this rough old man casually came up with was so meaningful.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng's opinion was good, Yu Jiahui made the final decision:
"Alright, I declare that the bastard has changed his name. From now on, he'll be called Yu Daye, not Yu Zhengxian!"
"Okay, then I'll arrest him under the name of Yu Zhengxian."
"Well, when we register him in the future, we'll use this name too. Don't call him Yu Daye anymore."
After saying this, Yu Jiahui looked up at the slanting moon again, sighed, and said earnestly:
"I hope he can truly turn over a new leaf this time. I don't ask him to be a virtuous person, just a human being!"
Zhou Ziheng heard the earnest hope in Yu Jiahui's tone, which was no different from other parents. He comforted him:
"Don't worry, Uncle Yu. He should have learned his lesson this time and will turn over a new leaf."
"I hope so."
The two of them walked towards the door of the main house next door.
Just as I was about to go in, the door suddenly opened.
Yu Xiaoye crawled out from inside.
Yu Jiahui frowned again and asked:
"Are you done?"
"Well, that's all." Yu Xiaoye spoke in a low voice and glanced at Zhou Ziheng.
The moonlight was dim, but with the help of the light in the room, Zhou Ziheng could tell at a glance that Yu Xiaoye had an expression that showed he wanted to say something.
And it was not convenient to say in front of Yu Jiahui.
Zhou Ziheng took the initiative to pull Yu Xiaoye:
"Uncle Yu, Xiaoye must be tired. I'll take Xiaoye over there to rest first."
Yu Jiahui could see that the two people had something to say in private, so he just pretended to know nothing, responded, and went into the house.
When Yu Jiahui disappeared at the door, Yu Xiaoye grabbed Zhou Ziheng's arm and pulled him to the kitchen.
The two men entered the kitchen without turning on the lights and stood in the dark talking.
Zhou Ziheng asked in a low voice:
"What did they tell you?"
Yu Xiaoye's tone was very conflicted:
"Captain, something unexpected has happened..."
"What accident?"
"I told you not to be surprised." Yu Xiaoye gave Zhou Ziheng a heads-up first.
Zhou Ziheng became even more curious and said patiently:
"Xiao Ye, just tell me what's going on."
"That's right, Shen Ci doesn't want to have an abortion now, she wants to give birth to the baby."
"That's all?"
"Well, isn't that surprising enough?"
Zhou Ziheng said calmly: "It's really surprising." But because Yu Xiaoye had given him some warning in advance, Zhou Ziheng felt that this was nothing.
I thought it was no big deal.
However, Yu Xiaoye's next words really surprised Zhou Ziheng:
"Chen Ci wanted to give birth to the child openly, so she had to get married openly. Now the situation is urgent, and it's probably too late to find someone else to fake marry her. So, she can only make the best of a bad situation and fake marry my eldest brother. After the marriage, the child will be a legitimate child, and everything will go smoothly."
“???”
Zhou Ziheng opened his mouth in surprise and couldn't speak.
Yu Xiaoye had already guessed Zhou Ziheng's reaction, and immediately said:
"So, they're asking you to show some leniency and not send my eldest brother to labor camp? Let my eldest brother marry Chen Ci first. And, if my eldest brother doesn't make any more mistakes after the marriage, you can't arrest him. Because if they get married and you arrest him right after, people will definitely guess something. Chen Ci's point is that she doesn't want people to suspect anything."
Zhou Ziheng was stunned for a long time before he spoke:
"Xiao Ye, who came up with this?"
Yu Xiaoye thought for a moment:
"This is what Chen Ci meant, and my eldest brother also agreed."
In fact, the words came from Yu Xiaoye's mouth, but Yu Xiaoye did guess Chen Ci's thoughts, and knew that Chen Ci was embarrassed to say it out loud, so he acted as Chen Ci's mouthpiece.
Zhou Ziheng was worried:
"You didn't give them any advice?"
Yu Xiaoye shook his head vigorously:
"No, Director, I really didn't give them any advice. It was really their own idea."
Now, even Zhou Ziheng didn’t understand the sudden change in the two people’s behavior.
Zhou Ziheng had never experienced anything like this in the past thirty years.
The two were clearly the victim and the perpetrator, and should have been mortal enemies, but they suddenly colluded with each other. Zhou Ziheng even suspected that the two had had some kind of friendship for a long time.
Or, as Yu Daye said, Chen Ci was willing to be with Yu Daye?
Otherwise it would be difficult to explain Chen Ci's attitude. Not only did she not expose Yu Daye, but after Yu Daye was arrested, she even wanted to marry Yu Daye and have a child with him.
Could it be that Chen Ci deliberately offended Yu Daye and didn't want him to go to labor camp?
Zhou Ziheng really suspected that these two people had had an affair before?
As a result, Zhou Ziheng was also in a dilemma.
It was originally decided to arrest Yu Daye, and he was even given a new name.
Now the victim is exonerating the criminal.
If Zhou Ziheng doesn't agree, will Chen Ci come out and admit that she was willing to be with Yu Daye?
That would be fun.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng lost in thought, Yu Xiaoye stood obediently beside him without saying a word.
After a while, Zhou Ziheng asked:
"Ono, what do you mean?"
Yu Xiaoye was a little confused:
"I don't know either. It depends on your decision. If you don't agree and insist on arresting my brother, I have no objection. This is your duty and power, and my brother deserves it. If, I mean if, you agree to them, maybe, for them, it will be another way out, and it can be regarded as giving them a chance to live.
The child has a way out.”
After hearing this, Zhou Ziheng had already guessed what Yu Xiaoye was thinking deep down.
Deep down in her heart, this girl also wanted him to agree, but she might not even realize it herself.
Zhou Ziheng didn't want Xiaoye to get entangled. This matter had nothing to do with Xiaoye. He didn't want her to be too upset:
"Okay, I understand. I'll go talk to them about this. It's late, you should go get some rest."
Yu Xiaoye held himself up:
"I'm not tired."
Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to accept that she refused to rest.
The two returned to the main room together.
Inside the room, Yu Daye was still sitting against the wall, maintaining the same posture as before.
The money on the kang is gone. I don’t know who put it away.
Yu Erye was in the room, holding a large bowl and feeding Yu Daye water.
Chen Ci and Xu Ying sat on the other side of the kang with their feet on the ground.
Yu Jiahui stood there with a sullen face.
After Zhou Ziheng came in, he said:
"Second brother, go back to sleep. Auntie, can you take Xiaoye to rest too?"
Seeing Zhou Ziheng start to arrange people, Yu Daye and Shen Ci knew that Xiao Ye must have spoken to the director. They both stared at Zhou Ziheng nervously to see how he would decide.
Yu Jiahui also guessed that Zhou Ziheng had other arrangements, probably because the three people had just whispered something to a conclusion.
Yu Jiahui wanted to see what these people were up to.
