Chapter 642 Courtyard 18
"I guess the old couple had a fight. I've never heard of an old man hitting his wife before."
Another neighbor said uncertainly, stroking his chin.
"No way, I think something must have happened to Lao Yi, so the old lady was shouting for help."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence around.
Just then, this sentence was heard by the third uncle who had just rushed to the backyard.
The third uncle suddenly looked anxious.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and knock on the door."
The others also started moving instantly as if someone had finally pressed the play button.
No one cared that Liu Haizhong was still standing at the door and accused Yi Zhonghai of beating his wife. The young and strong man pushed Liu Haizhong away and went straight up to knock on the door.
I have to say that Yi Zhonghai does a really good job of managing his image on a daily basis.
If you say that he beat his wife, most people would not believe it; but if you say that he got into trouble and an old lady called for help, everyone would think this is more likely.
Doors of this era were made of wooden boards and fixed to the door frame with two hinges.
A woman with a little strength can kick the door open, not to mention a grown man who is used to doing heavy work.
With a bang, the door was pushed open.
The room was pitch black, with only a faint moonlight filtering in through the window.
Everyone vaguely saw an old man standing in the middle of the room with blood all over his face, looking very miserable.
An old lady was standing aside, her figure a little blurry.
If the lights were on in the room, everyone would be able to clearly see that the old lady had a sarcastic smile on her face and was looking at Yi Zhonghai coldly.
"Uncle, what happened to you? Why are you bleeding so much?"
The third uncle also came into the house at this time. He was really shocked by the scene in front of him and quickly organized himself.
"Don't panic, Auntie. Let's take Uncle to the hospital first. Hurry up and pack your things and come with us."
He turned around and shouted to the people outside, "Everyone outside, hurry up and push the cart!
"Hey, you guys at the door, turn on the light first. It's pitch black in the room and you can't see anything. Don't trip anyone up."
For a moment, the room was in chaos with some people looking for the light cord, some wanting to go out and push the cart, and some wanting to come and help Yi Zhonghai.
Although everyone has their own little thoughts at ordinary times, when something really happens, no matter whether they are sincere or not, they all get busy.
The bangs outside the house were so angry.
He is the second uncle. If something happens to Yi Zhonghai, it should be him, the second uncle, who should take charge. There is no need for Yan Bugui, the third uncle, to give orders here.
But it was too late for him to say anything now, as Yan Bugui had already mobilized all the people.
Just at this moment, Yi Zhonghai spoke as if he had just reacted.
"Don't panic, I'm fine! Old Yan, there's no need to go to the hospital.
Just now, I got up to go to the bathroom, and in the pitch dark, I accidentally bumped my head against the door and my nose started bleeding.
Your aunt was half asleep and was startled awake by the noise. She was shocked to see my face covered in blood and then she yelled for help.
At this moment, someone touched the light cord, and the dim light instantly illuminated the room.
Only then did everyone see clearly that Yi Zhonghai's face was covered in blood and he looked very embarrassed, but it was indeed a nosebleed.
I don't know how he did it, but there was blood everywhere. In the dark room, it looked like he was seriously injured, which was extremely scary.
Yan Bugui stood closest to Yi Zhonghai and asked with concern:
"Lao Yi, how do you feel now? Are you dizzy?
Your nose is bleeding so much, and your forehead must have been hit pretty hard. Why not go to the hospital?"
I don’t know if he did it on purpose. There was not a single wound on Yi Zhonghai’s forehead, but he still insisted on saying that.
Yi Zhonghai was furious, but he couldn't show it, so he took a wet towel and wiped his face twice to clean the blood.
Apart from the nose still bleeding, everything else seemed fine.
He forced a smile and waved his hand.
"It's really nothing, it was just that one little force, it was too dark in the room and I couldn't see clearly, and it hit my nose directly.
I'm sorry to have caused you all to worry. We have to go to work tomorrow, so go back and get some rest. My nose will stop bleeding soon."
After hearing what he said, everyone gathered around him again, expressing their concern one after another, and then left one after another.
Lin Sui was also in the crowd, but she did not enter the house. Ever since she heard the sound, her spiritual sense had been paying attention to the movements in the house.
Just now, when Liu Haizhong came and knocked on the door and shouted at Yi Zhonghai to stop hitting his wife, Yi Zhonghai panicked.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai covered the old lady's mouth and she could only make a whimpering sound.
More and more people gathered outside, and Liu Haizhong kept saying things that were unfavorable to him.
None of this matters. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to cover up the fact that the old lady was crying for help.
As for Liu Haizhong, as long as he and the aunt appear in front of everyone, the problem can be solved immediately.
At this critical moment, Yi Zhonghai thought quickly, his eyes glanced at the teapot on the table, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, picked up the teapot and smashed it hard on his nose.
Lin Sui saw it clearly from outside and she felt so sorry for Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai hit her so hard and hard that tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
He hissed in pain, immediately bent down, and held the teapot tightly in his arms, fearing that this "good helper" would fall to the ground and make a noise due to the pain.
His face was twisted with pain. He took a full minute to relax before he stood up and carefully put the teapot back to its original place.
Then, he used his hand to pick up the blood from his nose and wiped it on his face a few times, and then wiped his hand on the front of his clothes where the blood was dripping from his nose.
I'm barely prepared.
Just at this moment, someone outside broke the door open.
When Yi Zhonghai was doing all this, Auntie knew that she was not going to attack her and did not stop her.
Standing aside, he saw all of Yi Zhonghai's actions clearly, his face full of ridicule and disdain.
It was the first time she knew that Yi Zhonghai could be so cruel to her in order to protect himself.
When everyone was in the room, she deliberately hid in the back corner, for she was afraid that her expression would betray her true thoughts.
The aunt doesn't want to make the matter known to everyone. What will happen if it becomes a big deal? Will she get any benefit?
It would be more practical to use this secret to exchange benefits with Yi Zhonghai.
She is so old now. It is better for her to use the money to find a place to live on her own than to serve an old man here every day!
In this short period of time, the aunt has figured out the path that is most beneficial to herself.
