Chapter 352: Drunk and Revealing the Truth
Yan Fugui and Xu Damao were immediately displeased upon hearing this.
Yan Fugui said angrily, "Liu Haizhong, what makes you think you deserve to be called 'Grandpa'? It's because I'm not competing with you. If we were competing, you wouldn't be the one getting that position!"
Seeing the group arguing, Zhang Lei and He Daqing were secretly delighted.
Before they'd even really stirred things up, the three of them were already having conflicts.
Just as the group was talking enthusiastically, Zhang Lei saw the people outside arrive and realized that the audience was ready. He then nodded to He Daqing.
He Daqing also understood and said, "Da Mao, there are some things I have to admire about you. Although we didn't get along before, I know you're very smart."
Xu Damao laughed and said, "That's right. If it weren't for me, how could those two have succeeded in dealing with you before?"
Zhang Lei said with a smile, "Da Mao, why don't you tell me how you schemed against Qin Huairu before, so we can learn from you?"
Xu Damao, still a little dazed, chuckled and said, "Learn, learn, okay, then let you all learn."
Soon, Xu Damao recounted in detail how the three of them plotted against Qin Huairu, set a trap for He Daqing, and used Jia Zhangshi.
Meanwhile, the other respected figures in the courtyard at No. 95, as well as Director Wang from the street office who had been summoned by Qin Huairu, were all indignant as they listened at the door.
Qin Huairu pretended to be weak, crying and wiping away tears, which made people feel sorry for her.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong, who was standing to the side, heard Xu Damao taking all the credit for himself, and couldn't help but quickly recount his own contributions as well.
Yan Fugui was getting increasingly anxious, seeing that he couldn't win the argument with the two men.
The three of them seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their visit.
He Daqing watched the three of them happily drinking and said, "According to your logic, Qin Huairu is wrong no matter what she does?"
Xu Damao said smugly, "That's right, it's an open strategy. We all know Qin Huairu's personality quite well. She's greedy for small gains. Not to mention her, who in the whole courtyard wouldn't be greedy? So, we've taken advantage of this aspect of her personality."
Zhang Lei asked curiously, "Then how can you be sure that Qin Huairu picked up the money?"
Liu Haizhong quickly said, "That's easy! A few of us were hiding nearby, watching closely. Qin Huairu's every move was under our noses. How could anyone else possibly get away with it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei pretended to suddenly understand.
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Director Wang of the neighborhood committee glared angrily at the already drunken group and shouted sternly, "Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, Xu Damao!"
Hearing the shout, the three men were annoyed and said, "Who is it? What do you want? Can't you see we're drinking?"
At this moment, Director Wang stood directly in front of the group.
Zhang Lei feigned panic and quickly called out, "Director Wang, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing the name "Director Wang," the group instantly sobered up considerably.
Liu Haizhong frantically tried to stand up, but being so drunk, he couldn't manage it, and kept calling out, "Director Wang!"
Looking at the three of them, Director Wang said angrily, "So, you three! I was blind to trust you to be the three big shots in charge of the courtyard!"
The other people in the hospital who followed Director Wang couldn't help but start talking about it.
One of them said, "I never expected that Qin Huairu's case was actually a case of them framing her. I didn't believe the rumors that they had orchestrated it."
Another person said, "I believed it a long time ago. Qin Huairu is so attractive, how could she be that kind of person?"
Another person said disdainfully, "You, you were the one who swore Qin Huairu was a thief before, and now you're the one defending her. You're just someone who can say whatever you want with a few words."
The person who had just spoken was now filled with shame by what this person had said.
Director Wang, looking at the three already drunk men, said angrily, "Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, Xu Damao, I'm stripping you all of your positions as 'big shots'! Come to the street office tomorrow when you're sober and tell me all about your despicable deeds!"
At this moment, He Daqing quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Wang, don't worry, I will definitely have the three of them report to the subdistrict office tomorrow."
Looking at He Daqing's expression, how could Director Wang not know that He Daqing was using him to see through the true nature of the three people in Liu Haizhong?
However, thinking of the money He Daqing had donated before, he just nodded and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Lei watched this scene, pretended to be drunk, and left He Daqing's house.
When the families of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui saw this, they quickly took the two away.
Xu Damao was helped home by He Daqing.
As Zhang Lei walked into the Intermediate People's Court, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
When Zhang Lei looked, he was surprised to see that it was He Yushui.
At this moment, Zhang Lei was still pretending to be drunk.
Seeing Zhang Lei's condition, He Yushui quickly helped him up and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, you're drunk."
Zhang Lei, feigning drunkenness, asked, "Who are you?"
He Yushui looked around to make sure no one was watching, then quickly helped Zhang Lei up and said, "Brother Zhang Lei, I'm your wife."
Upon hearing the word "wife," Zhang Lei couldn't help but chuckle to himself: This rain is really bold.
So Zhang Lei followed He Yushui's words and said, "Wife, it's you. What are you doing here?"
He Yushui looked at Zhang Lei's drunken state and said, "I've come to take you home."
As she spoke, she helped Zhang Lei walk towards her room.
Zhang Lei wanted to see what He Yushui was up to.
They quickly arrived at He Yushui's room. He Yushui awkwardly helped Zhang Lei to her bed and asked with concern, "Brother Zhang Lei, would you like some water?"
Zhang Lei looked at He Yushui, who was lying drowsily on the bed, and said, "I don't want to drink, I want to sleep."
Looking at Zhang Lei, He Yushui smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Brother Zhang Lei, I'll cover you with the blanket."
As she spoke, He Yushui took off Zhang Lei's shoes and shirt, and covered Zhang Lei with a blanket.
Seeing Zhang Lei asleep, He Yushui couldn't help but laugh and quickly closed her bedroom door.
At this moment, He Yushui, for some unknown reason, suddenly arrived at courtyard house number 90.
Looking at He Yushui, Ye Shuqin asked, "Yushui, what brings you here?"
Upon seeing Ye Shuqin, He Yushui nervously said, "Sister Shuqin, Brother Zhang Lei... Brother Zhang Lei is drunk. He's asleep at number 95. I came to let you know."
Hearing He Yushui's words, Ye Shuqin thought for a moment. He Yushui had no reason to lie to her, so she nodded and said, "Alright then, please help me take care of him. He can come back by himself tomorrow."
Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, He Yushui was a little stunned. She didn't expect Ye Shuqin to agree so readily.
Ye Shuqin looked at He Yushui, who was in a daze, and asked, "Yushui, is there anything else?"
He Yushui shook her head and said, "No."
Then, unable to resist, she turned back and asked, "Sister Shuqin, aren't you worried I'm lying to you?"
Ye Shuqin looked at He Yushui and said with a smile, "How could you possibly lie to me? Besides, Zhang Lei is drunk, and we're both pregnant. Who's going to take care of him? What if he goes on a drunken rampage and hurts us? So, I'm asking you to help take care of him now. Besides, I trust you."
Hearing Ye Shuqin's words, He Yushui felt a little guilty, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Sister Shuqin, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Brother Zhang Lei. My family has plenty of houses, enough for everyone."
As she spoke, He Yushui's face immediately turned red; she didn't know why she had suddenly said those words.
Ye Shuqin looked at He Yushui and said with a smile, "I know."
