During this period, Sha Zhu went out early and came back late. Everyone thought he was afraid of being seen and was shy about meeting people. Unexpectedly, Sha Zhu actually started to investigate the source of the rumors.
However, with Shazhu's IQ, he has a hammer here and a stick here and there, so there is no way to find out, it can only be a waste of effort.
In the end, Ma Hua, who was also in the kitchen, couldn't stand it anymore and suggested that Sha Zhu call the police.
Silly Zhu was disturbed and in a trance because of the rumors.
Whenever others talk, he feels like they are talking about him, which makes him suspicious and starts to suffer from insomnia at night.
He really wanted to kill the person who spread the rumors.
"Comrade Public Security, I will report the case." Shazhu couldn't bear it anymore, so he followed MCA's advice to report the case to the police.
The person who accepted Sha Zhu's report was Gao Hong, the instructor who first came to the courtyard.
"Tell me, why did you report the crime?" Gao Hong said.
"I..." Silly Zhu was really embarrassed to say it.
Gao Hong said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just tell me, don't talk to your mother-in-law."
"There are rumors that the elder brother and I are brothers. My eldest mother and I did something shady, which made the elder angry so much that he was hospitalized." Silly Zhu said in a confused manner.
Gao Hong said to Shazhu: "Tell me in detail, let's make a detailed transcript."
Silly Zhu was simply too embarrassed to mention the content of the rumors. Finally, after being questioned by the police, I finally told the police comrades everything.
The police officers actually wanted to laugh, but they just held it back out of professional ethics.
After the police accepted the case, they began to investigate.
Although they are not ashamed of Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu's character, due to their responsibilities and missions, they can only investigate seriously.
Their investigation was much more methodical than Shazhu's, but it was really difficult to find the source of this kind of case.
The police believe that the people who spread rumors about Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu are most likely people who have had issues with them. Most people would not do this.
In this way, the police listed Zhang Zhifei, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang and others as suspects.
Xu Damao said bad things about Yi Zhonghai, but they were all facts and not rumors.
Coupled with the fact that during the time when the rumors were popular, Xu Damao was showing a movie in the countryside, which ruled him out as a suspect in the first place.
The police also asked the people Zhang Zhifei had daily contact with and learned that he had not spread rumors. Zhang Zhifei himself naturally denied it, and in the end they could only temporarily rule him out as a suspect.
In the end, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang also pushed back, saying that they did not know and had never spread rumors. After questioning, the police did not find the culprit.
At the same time, after investigation, the public security found that the rumor did not originate from Nanluoguoxiang, but from Yanjing City Hospital.
After that, the police started investigating from the hospital, but the hospital had a large flow of people and it was more difficult to find out.
Through inquiries, the police learned that Li Xiaolan had asked about Yi Zhonghai's condition.
But at that time, Li Xiaolan did not tell the young doctor her name, and no one knew Li Xiaolan, who was the first to spread the rumors.
In the end, the police could only investigate and find out that it was a middle-aged woman who first spread the rumor. They did not get any valuable clues and had no choice but to let it go.
Of course, this is also because the police did not pay attention. If it really involved spies or other major cases, Li Xiaolan would have been arrested and brought to justice.
The police also failed to find the culprit, and Shazhu could only continue to live under everyone's fingering, like an ostrich, not daring to raise his head.
Yi Zhonghai was even worse. When he was hit by this news, he aged more than ten years and felt a bit like he was dying.
That's all. The steel rolling mill also issued a notice to him, asking him to come back to work as soon as possible. If he didn't come back, he wouldn't have to come back.
If other people are sick, it is impossible for the steel rolling mill to do such a thing and let the patients recover and then go back to work.
Yi Zhonghai was different. He had just been sentenced to stay in the factory for probation, but now he was staying in the hospital without going back.
This can only leave the factory leaders with a feeling of disobedience to management and dissatisfaction with the punishments imposed by the factory leaders.
There was no other way, Yi Zhonghai could only swallow his tears in pain, get up from the hospital bed, and find a way to solve the work problem.
The deaf old lady also learned the news during the police investigation. He originally thought that such outrageous news would not cause much harm, but reality gave him a heavy punch.
When she saw Yi Zhonghai again, she was almost shocked. The person in front of her was the man who was high-spirited and had everything in his hands. He was simply a dying old man.
Zhang Zhifei and other people in the courtyard were the same. They almost couldn't believe that Yi Zhonghai had become like this.
Zhang Zhifei looked at Yi Zhonghai and could only sigh, rumors are really harmful.
"Zhonghai, what's wrong with you?" The deaf old lady had been together with Yi Zhonghai for more than ten years and had some feelings for him. Seeing him like this, it was a little hard to accept.
She also knew about the rumors some time ago, but he didn't expect that this rumor would have such a big impact on Yi Zhonghai, almost destroying a person.
"I'm suffering!" Yi Zhonghai cried when he said it.
"Cry." The deaf old lady touched Yi Zhonghai's head.
"Xiuying, don't take these words to heart. Let's just say that the people in our courtyard don't know that these are rumors." The deaf old lady comforted Aunt Yi.
Aunt Yi was much bigger-hearted than Yi Zhonghai. Although she was very angry, she didn't vomit blood after all, and she let it go after thinking about it.
"Madam, I almost dare not see people now, and the steel rolling mill asked me to go back to work. What do you think I should do?" Yi Zhonghai cried for a while, wiped his tears and asked.
The deaf old lady fell silent. If Yi Zhonghai didn't go to work, what would the couple eat?
Although they have saved some money over the years, who knows what obstacles they will encounter in the future. They cannot just sit back and have nothing.
But in Yi Zhonghai's situation, if he went to work, it would be enough to just have others point at him. Looking at his current physical condition, he is really not suitable to work in the steel rolling mill.
The deaf old lady wanted to help Yi Zhonghai, but she had exhausted all her favors because of Silly Zhu. Now that she went to Yang Maode, the other party would not be able to help.
"Zhonghai, there are two ways now." The deaf old lady thought for a long time and said.
Looking at the somewhat old Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had to say it.
"One is to find Yang Maode and ask him to help transfer you away from Yanjing. But this time you will be in a difficult place. If you want to come back, you will have to retire.
The other is to sell your job to people in our courtyard. You don’t want them to give you a lump sum of money, but you can give it to them based on 30% of their salary until you and your wife leave. "
"Madam, is there no other way?" Aunt Yi asked.
She knew that she could never leave now. If she stayed in the courtyard, she would at least have a fool. If she really went to another place, there would be no one to bury her after her death.
If he sells his job at 30% of the other person's salary, his income will drop sharply, and his family's quality of life will no longer be guaranteed.
The deaf old lady shook her head and said, "Zhonghai is punished on his back, so it's not appropriate to go anywhere."
"Sell it, madam, who do you think is suitable to sell it to?" Yi Zhonghai was silent for a moment and finally made up his mind.
"Wang Xiaomao in the front yard." The deaf old lady thought for a while and said.
"Wang Xiaomao?"
"Well, this kid is 18 years old this year and doesn't have a serious job. Your conditions are not excessive, and he will agree." The deaf old lady said.
Yi Zhonghai is naturally very familiar with courtyard houses, and the situation of Wang Xiaomao's family is average.
His father has inconvenient legs and feet, and the street office arranges cleaning. His mother is a second-level worker in the textile factory. He has a brother and a sister.
The three siblings are not good at studies. The eldest son of his family has to establish a family and will take over his mother's class. He and his sister have no hope and can only wait passively.
Yi Zhonghai's request was indeed a lot after careful consideration, but for Wang Xiaomao, this was a rare opportunity.
As long as you agree, you can become an honorable worker, and you don't have to take money from outside now.
Yi Zhonghai quickly made a decision to sell his job. However, he knew that getting on the pole was not a business, so he let the deaf old lady give it a try and wait for the buyer to come to the door on his own.
