Chapter 645 Courtyard 21
However, the food and money were not placed in the same place. If the food was discovered, the money would not be taken away as well.
After washing up, the aunt returned to the door and was about to push it open when she saw through the crack in the door that Yi Zhonghai was dividing the family savings into two parts.
One part was placed in the corner of the beam on the other side and camouflaged so that it looked like there was nothing there.
Another part of the story saw Yi Zhonghai move the wardrobe and hide the money in the crack in the wall behind the wardrobe.
After doing all this, Yi Zhonghai looked towards the door, and the old lady immediately moved away. Yi Zhonghai didn't see anything, but he closed the door tightly.
The aunt guessed that there must be a secret, so she walked to the window.
The curtains were not open when she got up just now, but there was a gap next to them that allowed her to see into the room.
What happened in the room next did not disappoint her.
Yi Zhonghai walked to the corner of the wall, squatted down, moved a brick, and took out a box from underneath.
Auntie never knew about this box.
Yi Zhonghai brushed off the dust and opened the box. Inside were two gold bars and a stack of cash, which looked to be about a thousand yuan.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonghai had already hidden his intentions. These must be his private money.
Yi Zhonghai opened the box, took a look, put the things back in, closed the box, and put it back to its original position. He also put the stone bricks back on it and sprinkled some dust on it as camouflage.
The old lady then tiptoed back a distance, then deliberately increased her pace, pretending to have just returned, and went back to the door of the house, opened it and went in.
Yi Zhonghai has packed up and is washing his hands.
"Pack your things and we'll leave right away. It's best not to let Jia Zhang know in advance." Yi Zhonghai said while wiping his hands.
The aunt nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Go to the state-owned restaurant and buy some meat buns. I haven't had breakfast yet, and I might get carsick later.
"By the way, have you decided which guesthouse to go to? How did you get the letter of introduction?" the aunt asked with concern.
Yi Zhonghai then remembered the good idea he came up with in a hurry this morning because he didn't have a letter of introduction to stay in a guesthouse in the city.
"The factory gave us a letter of introduction to Jinshi, but we don't need it.
But we can use the excuse of seeing a doctor to be hospitalized in the hospital in the west of the city.
You can stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate, and I can stay with you as a caregiver."
The aunt really didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai had such a clever idea.
In this day and age, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, but if you are from the same city and want to see a doctor in the same city, the letter of introduction is completely unnecessary.
This is indeed a good way to solve the accommodation problem.
Besides, the old lady's health was not good to begin with. Although it was not good for her to stay in the hospital for a long time, it was completely fine for her to stay for ten days or half a month to treat her illness.
Yi Zhonghai's mind really made him crazy.
This was the first time since last night that a satisfied smile appeared on the aunt's face.
"Okay, then I'll just pack my hospital stuff. That way, even if someone I know sees us, they'll know we're just going to see a doctor, which makes it seem more authentic.
Go buy some buns first. When you come back, ask the supply and marketing cooperative if they have any net bags. If they do, bring a couple back; they'll be more convenient for carrying things." The auntie made arrangements methodically.
Yi Zhonghai responded and turned to walk out.
When the aunt saw Yi Zhonghai leaving the backyard, she immediately took action.
She did not miss any of the places where Yi Zhonghai hid his money, and quickly looted all the money and gold bars.
Then these places were disguised back to their original appearance without any flaws.
After doing all this, the aunt washed her hands and began to pack her luggage slowly.
When Yi Zhonghai came back, the only thing left for the aunt to pack was the basin and thermos in a net bag before she could set off.
The old lady picked up the buns and ate two of them with tea. Yi Zhonghai also packed the things skillfully.
After they were ready, they set off.
When I passed by the yard, I saw several neighbors sitting together making matchboxes.
Seeing the couple coming out with their luggage, the neighbors couldn't help but ask about it out of curiosity.
"Where are you two going?"
The aunt responded with a smile.
"Old Yi asked someone to find out that there is a doctor in Jinshi who has experience in treating my disease and he plans to take me there to see him.
We're leaving now, the bus is almost time to leave, we'll talk when we get back."
When the neighbors heard this, they hurriedly urged them to leave and said they would help look after the house.
In this way, everyone in the yard knew about the fact that Auntie and Yi Zhonghai went to Jinshi when they came back from get off work.
Qin Huairu thought that after what happened last night, the aunt would definitely make a big fuss.
After all, no one could tolerate that.
She was very nervous and kept glancing in the direction of Auntie's house, waiting to hear the expected noise.
But what she never expected was that the aunt acted as if nothing had happened and went out with Yi Zhonghai with her luggage today.
When Qin Huairu heard the news, she was stunned. For a moment she didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.
Logically speaking, she should be happy that the old lady didn't make a fuss.
After all, if the aunt's behavior became known to everyone, her reputation, which she had worked so hard to maintain, would be ruined.
How is she going to live in this courtyard from now on? The spit of the neighbors can drown her.
Moreover, she has to think about the children, who can't hold their heads up high in school.
But if you think about it from another perspective, if the aunt makes a fuss and makes the matter worse, she can ask Yi Zhonghai to compensate her in a legitimate way.
Over the years, she has been raising several children and a lazy mother-in-law by herself, and her life has been very difficult.
If they received compensation from Yi Zhonghai, their family's life would definitely be much better, and she wouldn't have to worry so much as before.
Although Yi Zhonghai is old enough to be her father, he is rich. With a monthly salary of 99 yuan, it is not difficult for him to support their family.
Just as Qin Huairu was struggling with her complicated emotions at the door, Jia Zhang's sarcastic voice suddenly came from the Jia family's house.
"What are you doing standing at the door? Are you waiting for someone to invite you in?
I have never seen such a lazy daughter-in-law. She doesn’t even bother to cook when she comes home, and she still wants me, her mother-in-law, to serve her…”
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly and turned to go into the house.
Jia Zhang was furious when she learned that Yi Zhonghai had taken a middle-aged woman out with him, so she deliberately found an excuse to vent her anger by scolding Qin Huairu.
