At this time, the deaf old lady's hair was messy, the blood on her face was oozing blood stains, and she was as thin as a piece of bamboo, and now the whole person looked a little terrifying.

Yi Zhonghai parted the crowd, walked to the deaf old lady, and asked in a low voice, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" Who is it, who is it that makes you look like this! ”

The deaf old lady was embarrassed because no one paid attention to her, but when she saw her "son" Yi Zhonghai running over, she hurriedly took Yi Zhonghai's hand and said.

"Yi Zhonghai, you have to help me, my wife, as the ancestor in the courtyard, is now being bullied by Zhang Yatou!"

ZHANG Yatou. Yi Zhonghai thought for a while, and then realized that Jia Zhang's was talking about Jia Zhang's.

He suddenly felt a little difficult to do.

Yi Zhonghai is good at moral kidnapping, which is useful to ordinary people, but it is of little use to people like Jia Zhang, who do not pay attention to morality.

But he can't ignore the deaf old lady's affairs.

Not a few years in advance, the deaf old lady helped him become an eighth-level fitter in the rolling mill, and said that if the old case had not been for the deaf old lady, he would have been caught in the fence by now.

Yi Zhonghai raised his head, looked around, didn't see Jia Zhang's shadow, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Jia Zhang's, you beat the old lady like this, and now hide as a shrinking turtle?" ”

At this time, Jia Zhang's limped out of the house, and when he saw the things wrapped around Jia Zhang's feet, the onlookers couldn't help but gasp.

"Eh, what's wrong with Jia Zhang, why are there so many strips of cloth wrapped around his feet."

"Seeing her limping, maybe she was injured."

"Heh, the deaf old lady is injured on her face, and Jia Zhang's is injured on her foot, which is interesting now."

That's right, Jia Zhang scratched the deaf old lady and immediately realized that something seemed to be wrong.

The deaf old lady would certainly make a big deal about it, and then find a way to punish her.

So, Jia Zhang ran home with a cigarette, found some rags and wrapped them around his feet, pretending to have injured his feet.

Seeing Jia Zhang's appearance, Yi Zhonghai felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "Jia Zhang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's not that the deaf old lady smashed it with a brick!" Jia Zhang walked into the crowd, pouted and said, "Just now I followed the order of the first master of our courtyard to clean up behind the deaf old lady's house, probably disturbing the deaf old lady's sleep, and the deaf old lady actually hit me with a brick." I couldn't get angry, so I scratched her. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai's brows suddenly furrowed.

It turned out that the deaf old lady did it first, and this matter was a little difficult to do.

The deaf old lady's eyes widened: "I am the ancestor of the courtyard, and I am old, sometimes it is inevitable that I am a little confused, even if I hit Zhang Yatou with a brick, she should not do it." ”

"Heh, the old lady is now in a new era, where are there any ancestors, you keep saying that you are the ancestors, do you still want to go back to before liberation." Jia Zhang said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly, after not seeing him for a few days, Jia Zhang's level has improved a lot.

In the past, Jia Zhang's would only mess around, but now he has learned to tell the truth.

The deaf old lady was pretending to be confused, not really confused, and when she heard Jia Zhang's words, her face turned a little blue with fright.

"Wang Erya, what nonsense are you talking about! I used to knit straw sandals for GIs. ”

"Cough, old lady, even if you lie to others, you can still deceive me, you told me before, you grew up in the capital since you were a child, and you have never been out of the capital in your life, how did you weave straw shoes for the soldiers?" Jia Zhang's hands pinched his waist and he leaned forward and backwards with a smile.

Jia Zhang's family is also an old man in the compound, and he has been messing around in the compound all day long, and he knows the most clearly what news is.

The onlookers suddenly widened their eyes with excitement when they heard this.

"Hey, don't say it, what Jia Zhang said really makes some sense."

"Back then, there were no soldiers near our capital."

"Even if the deaf old lady weaves straw sandals, she can't send them!"

"Unless she's lying and cheating the subsidy from the street office"

Hearing the discussion of the residents, the deaf old lady's face instantly turned pale.

She has hidden a lot of former belongings in her home, but she does not lack that little subsidy.

The key is that this is a powerful cover for her identity, and if the comrades in the neighborhood office find out what she did before, she will probably lose her life.

No, not an estimate.

Yes is sure to squat on the fence.

"Shut up! Girl Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about here, believe it or not, I'll tear your mouth apart! The deaf old lady was angry, and her expression was particularly frightening.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that the more angry she was, the more excited Jia Zhang became.

Jia Zhang's family has been cleaned up by the deaf old lady in the courtyard over the years, and the deaf old lady often beats her with a cane.

You must know that Jia Zhang was in his forties at the time, and he was beaten in public, and the humiliation in his heart can be imagined.

Moreover, Jia Zhang's family is rarely approved by the residents, and at this time, his heart is like drinking honey.

Jia Zhang sneered twice and said: "Deaf old lady, our old Jia had an accident in the workshop and died on the spot. ”

"Lao Jia and Yi Zhonghai were both fifth-level fitters back then, and there was only one promotion quota for sixth-level fitters that year."

"Lao Jia's technical level is much higher than that of Yi Zhonghai, which is a well-known fact in the rolling mill."

As a result, on the eve of the promotion exam, Lao Jia suddenly became confused and plunged into the rolling mill.

"Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Hearing this, the faces of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai changed in unison.

And the eyes of the residents widened.

Some of them are old residents who have heard about the past, and some of them have moved in later and are hearing about it for the first time.

"You say, did Yi Zhonghai murder Lao Jia?"

"It's possible, otherwise how could Yi Zhonghai accept Jia Dongxu as an apprentice, after Jia Dongxu died, he accepted Qin Huairu as an apprentice."

"I think he's weak-hearted."

You must know that when Yi Zhonghai accepted Qin Huairu as an apprentice, he was already an eighth-level fitter.

At that time, eighth-level workers were extremely rare, and there were only five eighth-level workers in the entire rolling mill.

Those eighth-level apprentices are all fourth- and fifth-level workers, and they are still the kind of talented.

And Yi Zhonghai just accepted Qin Huairu, a clumsy woman, as an apprentice.

If you want to say that there is no cat, no one will believe it.

Jia Zhang continued: "Later, for the sake of Lao Jia, I personally went to the leaders of the rolling mill, and the leaders promised to form an accident investigation team to investigate this matter. ”

"As a result, I waited at home for several days, but received the news that the investigation team was disbanded."

"A kind factory leader, tell me that it was you who went to the factory leaders and asked the leaders to disband the investigation team."

As he spoke, Jia Zhang's face was full of anger, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the deaf old lady's nose and said, "Dead old woman, tell me, if you don't have ghosts in your hearts, why do you want to prevent the establishment of an investigation team." ”

In the face of Jia Zhang's accusation, Yi Zhonghai's scalp was a little numb, he didn't expect that Jia Zhang's had passed so many years and had not let go of what happened back then.

Yi Zhonghai laughed twice: "Old sister-in-law, you misunderstood the old lady, the old lady is because she doesn't want to destroy the unity of our courtyard, and her old man takes care of the overall situation." ”

"Hahaha, Yi Zhonghai, do you listen to your own words and believe yourself?"

Jia Zhang's expression was crazy: "I am investigating the cause of my husband's death, and I am destroying the unity of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, you can even say such things!" ”

"This, this." Yi Zhonghai was hesitant and couldn't say a word.

In the crowd, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai and frowned.

When the deaf old lady shouted at the top of her voice just now, she had already arrived, but she didn't want to care about the trouble caused by Jia Zhang's family.

Now hearing Jia Zhang's words, her heart suddenly sank.

When she married into Jia's family, Lao Jia was already dead, according to the neighbors, Lao Jia was a very good person, enthusiastic about helping others and treating people kindly.

But he died because of an accident.

Now it seems that there is something else to hide.

Although Qin Huairu has never seen Lao Jia, Lao Jia is her titular father-in-law after all.

She couldn't leave it alone.

Just when Yi Zhonghai's eyes were rolling around, thinking about how to deal with Jia Zhang's family, Qin Huairu walked over.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady with a cold face: "Two, was my father-in-law killed by you back then?" ”

Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he heard this: "Qin Huairu, don't listen to Jia Zhang's nonsense, you also know that she is a mad dog." ”

Jia Zhang's eyes widened: "Yi Zhonghai, you dare to scold me!" ”

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves, stretched out her paws, and rushed over with a savage charge, facing Yi Zhonghai is face to ride.

Yi Zhonghai was in pain, covered his face and staggered away.

And the deaf old lady saw that Yi Zhonghai couldn't count on it, and knew that she couldn't get any benefits today, so she could only stagger back on crutches.

The great opportunities have been ruined by Jia Zhang's family!

Qin Huairu walked up to Jia Zhang's with a sneer, and asked in a cold voice: "Mother, my father-in-law was really killed by Yi Zhonghai back then?" ”

"I'm just skeptical. There is no evidence! Seeing Qin Huairu's serious face, Jia Zhangshi shrunk his neck and told what happened back then.

When Lao Jia had an accident, Jia Zhang had just given birth to Jia Dongxu, and she didn't arrive at the scene at all, and all the news was told to her by Lao Jia's workers and the leaders of the rolling mill.

At that time, the rolling mill had just been a public-private partnership, and the management was also very chaotic, coupled with the obstruction of a deaf old lady beside him, Jia Zhang's did not know much.

I just think it's too coincidental.

After Qin Huairu heard this, she suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

Today, the deaf old lady suffered such a big loss, and she didn't continue to make a big noise, which shows that she also has a ghost in her heart.

And Yi Zhonghai's expression, she had already seen it in her eyes, if she hadn't been a thief, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not be afraid of Jia Zhang's family.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful Jia Zhang is, after all, he is also an old woman, and Yi Zhonghai, as an eighth-level fitter, has to do manual work every day.

Jia Zhang's this time is crooked.

Since Qin Huairu became the first master of the courtyard, he has always regarded Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady as a big trouble.

It's just that I've been suffering from not having a chance to get them out, if I can find out the truth of the matter this time, I can not only help Lao Jia avenge it, but also solve the big trouble of his henchmen, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that

It happened more than 20 years ago, which is too long, and many people who knew about it back then are likely to have died or left the capital long ago.

It's a bit difficult to find out the truth of the matter.

Qin Huairu was melancholy for a moment, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Her eyes lit up, and she said to herself, "Yes, I can go and ask Li Weidong for help." ”

Qin Huairu didn't notice that Jia Zhang was following her, and her voice was a little louder.

By the time she found out about Jia Zhang, it was too late, and Jia Zhang's words just now were heard by Jia Zhang.

To Qin Huairu's surprise, instead of being angry, Jia Zhang stared at her with a solemn expression.

"Qin Huairu, if Li Weidong can really help me find out who killed Lao Jia, what happened to you and Li Weidong, I will turn a blind eye and just pretend that I didn't see it."

Qin Huairu's heart froze, and she said shyly: "Mother, what are you talking about, I have nothing to do with Li Weidong at all." ”

She knew that Jia Zhang had been investigating her relationship with Li Weidong, but there was no evidence.

At this time, it was impossible for her superiors to admit it.

Jia Zhang also seemed to realize this, and sighed softly: "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, the old woman and I have left the words here, and when Li Weidong finds out the real murderer and avenges Lao Jia, I will no longer ask about your affairs." ”

After speaking, Jia Zhang didn't explain anything, turned around and walked towards Xu Damao's house.

Qin Huairu looked at her back and squinted her eyes slightly, for some reason, she believed what Jia Zhang said.

Just to invite Li Weidong, you must pay something that Li Weidong is interested in, such as.

The corners of Qin Huairu's mouth curled slightly.

Back in the house, she took out the alabaster and was about to pick it up, but the door was pushed open from the outside, and it was Qin Jingru who came in.

Qin Jingru was wearing a floral infrared jacket, her little face was flushed, and although her hair was combed, it was still a little messy.

Especially the smell of heather on her body, which couldn't hide from Qin Huairu's nose.

Qin Huairu put down the alabaster and asked in a cold voice, "Jingru, where did you go to play with Li Weidong?" ”

Qin Jingru was immersed in excitement, and she didn't notice that there was someone in the house, and she was taken aback.

After seeing that it was Qin Huairu, she covered her heart and felt palpitations: "Sister, you scared me to death." ”

Qin Huairu raised his eyebrows: "Let me ask you, where is Li Weidong now?" ”

"How do I know, I'm not with him." Qin Jingru pretended to be calm and sat down for a cup of tea.

Holding the enamel jar in both hands, he drank it as if concealing, and his eyes peeked at Qin Huairu from time to time.

When Qin Huairu saw her appearance of being a thief, she knew that she was lying again.

said with a smile: "Jingru, I don't blame you for contacting Li Weidong alone this time, my sister is looking for him for help." ”

Hearing this, Qin Jingru relieved her heart and said with a smile: "We were in Chaoyang Park just now, sister, do you know that there is a big bamboo forest in the deepest part of the park, and the bamboo inside is dense, and you can't see the situation inside from the outside. ”

"You're going to be able to play." Qin Huairu pursed his lips and said, "In this way, Li Weidong should be back soon." ”
