Chapter 663 Courtyard 39
Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, stood at the door and watched Qin Huairu and the others until he was sure they were far away, then he went back into the house.
When he opened the first place where the money was hidden, he suddenly suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. His heart was pounding and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He blinked hard and reached in to feel around.
"No!" His lips murmured unconsciously, his voice full of fear.
"Nothing!"
Without caring about anything else, he rushed to the other two places where the money was hidden like a madman.
He searched frantically but couldn't find it anywhere. He no longer cared about making a loud noise and attracting attention.
When he came to the last place, he was a little afraid to open it. The two consecutive disappointments were like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.
In the end, hope triumphed over disappointment, and he opened the last piece with a nervous heart...
"No."
His voice was already trembling unconsciously, his eyes were empty, and he looked completely lost.
"Still nothing. Empty, completely empty."
His mind was filled with images of several hiding places for the money, all of which were empty.
My body was shaking, and I felt the blood rushing to my forehead, and my head was buzzing.
Then, everything went dark before his eyes, and he fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
When he woke up again, before he could open his eyes, the pungent smell of disinfectant rushed into his nostrils.
He didn't have time to think about where it was. The first thing he thought of was to get his money back as soon as possible.
He wanted to sit up suddenly, and because of the sudden movement, Qin Huairu, who had been accompanying him, was frightened and screamed, and the apple she was peeling in her hand rolled to the ground.
"What's wrong? The doctor said you fainted because of a shock.
When you wake up, you must keep calm and not get excited, otherwise you may suffer from hemiplegia.
Take your time and tell me what you have to say."
Qin Huairu reached out to help Yi Zhonghai.
But he couldn't listen to any of this right now. He had jumped up too hard just now and felt a little dizzy, which made him fall back onto the bed.
He said to Qin Huairu in an urgent tone: "Report to the police, report to the police quickly, all the money I saved over the years is gone, it must have been stolen, report to the police quickly and get the money back, otherwise I'm afraid we will have nothing to eat in the future."
He almost shouted these words. After saying these words, Yi Zhonghai tried to get up from the bed again.
But Qin Huairu couldn't care less about him now.
What did Yi Zhonghai say just now?
Lost money?
All the savings from so many years are gone?
How will we live in the future?
Yi Zhonghai is no longer an eighth-level worker in the factory. Even if his right hand recovers, he can't do heavy work. In the future, will he have to support Yi Zhonghai in addition to several children and Jia Zhangshi?
Qin Huairu felt like she was standing on the waves, her body swayed and she almost lost her balance.
Holding on to the table tightly, her lips trembled slightly, her face turned pale, and she confirmed it again, reluctant to believe it.
"Gone... gone? All gone? Nothing left?"
Her voice trembled violently, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yi Zhonghai was filled with pleading and hope.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu like this, he knew what she was thinking and became extremely anxious.
He shouted loudly, "It's all gone. It's all gone. Except for the few dollars I have on me, I don't have a penny left!"
After saying this, he didn't care that Qin Huairu was hit so hard that she could hardly stand, nor did he care that he was feeling dizzy.
He reached out and pulled out the IV drip on his hand. The needle fell off and blood instantly flowed down the back of his hand.
He staggered but rushed out eagerly.
Qin Huairu finally came to her senses. Seeing Yi Zhonghai running out, she didn't care about her still trembling legs and hurriedly followed him out.
The two men's embarrassed and anxious appearance was particularly eye-catching in the hospital corridor.
They didn't run far before they were stopped by the doctor and nurse on duty.
The doctor frowned, looked at them seriously, and scolded them loudly.
"What are you doing? You're running around before you've recovered. Who's responsible if something goes wrong?"
The nurse beside her also looked disapproving.
Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious. He struggled to break free and shouted at the top of his lungs, "My money is gone, all gone. I need to report it to the police and get it back!"
Qin Huairu's eyes welled up with tears, and she cried, "Comrade, we really have no other choice. Please help us."
After finding out the reason, the hospital staff quickly calmed them down, sent them back to the ward, and then arranged for someone to help report the incident to the police.
When the police came to the courtyard again, all the residents in the courtyard gathered around.
He watched with curiosity as those people rushed into the house that Yi Zhonghai had just moved out of.
Everyone was whispering and talking, but no one understood what was going on.
The third auntie immediately curled her lips and said with disgust: "Oh, could it be that Lao Yi and the others have done something wrong again?
"You can't just live a peaceful life day after day. You have to make a fuss. I really don't know what to say."
Another auntie nearby nodded in agreement after hearing this, and echoed, "That's right, the last few incidents have all been caused by their family. Every now and then, there's a commotion going on.
Now that they've moved away, they're still not quiet. I don't know what they're up to."
An aunt who fainted in the house when she learned that Yi Zhonghai had left said, "This time it's probably not about those things. After Qin Huairu and the others left today, Old Yi came back alone again, and I don't know what he was doing.
At that time, you all went to buy frozen mackerel, so you didn’t see it.
No one knew what happened to Old Yi. He fainted in the house and was found by someone living in the backyard and sent to the hospital.
I guess this is probably related to this incident."
The third aunt rolled her eyes as she looked towards the backyard.
"Fortunately, they have moved away. This should be the last time, and we can have a few days of peace and quiet.
Who would like to have a good life and deal with officials all day long?
Maybe I was scared a few years ago. Although the officials in the new society are not as overbearing as before, as long as I think about dealing with them, my heart is pounding. "
The neighbor chimed in, “Who says it isn’t!”
In fact, it has been such a long time since the old lady took the money away, and Qin Huairu's family had lived in this house before, leaving many traces.
When Yi Zhonghai was looking for the money today, he turned all the places where the money was hidden upside down. The scene was in a mess and he could not find any useful clues at all.
The police searched inside and out for several days and tried every method they could think of, but still had no clue.
