Chapter 299 Yi Zhonghai's Letter

The people at the steel mill were unaware of the farce that took place in the courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, it's time to get off work in the evening.

Music was playing from the loud speakers in the steel mill.

The workers walked out of the steel mill in groups of three or five.

In the steel rolling mills of that era, the doorman also served as the message room.

Therefore, for any letters on the table that the security guard recognizes and can match the name with the person, he will call that person to hand over the letter.

As more and more people passed by, there were fewer and fewer letters left on the table.

At this time, the guard saw a letter with Yi Zhonghai's name on it.

After all, Yi Zhonghai had worked as an eighth-level fitter in the factory, but he was a well-known figure in the factory and even the factory director knew him.

Although it has been downgraded now, its popularity remains.

Of course, the guard was no stranger to him.

When I picked up the letter, I saw Yi Zhonghai walking out.

"Master Yi, your letter."

The guard handed over the letter.

Yi Zhonghai was a little surprised. He took the envelope and saw that his name was really written on it.

He was a little puzzled.

Who could have written to him?

Most of the people who were familiar with him worked in the factory, and others would go directly to his home when they had something to do. This was the first time he had received a letter in all these years.

Could it be that a letter came from his distant relative living in another city?

Yi Zhonghai took the envelope and looked at it carefully again, wanting to check the address on the letter, but found that the cover was very blank, without even a stamp or postmark, let alone the address on the letter or the recipient's address.

There were only four big words on it: Yi Zhonghai received it.

Yi Zhonghai was worried.

Seeing that the guard was still looking at him, Yi Zhonghai put the letter in his trouser pocket and said:

"Thank you, Master."

He left quickly.

Walking to a secluded place, Yi Zhonghai quickly opened the envelope.

I took out the letter paper and found only two lines of words on it:

Yi Zhonghai, I already know about the bad things you have done. Let’s meet at Ritan Park on Saturday afternoon, otherwise I will ruin your reputation.

Yi Zhonghai's heart trembled suddenly.

The hand holding the letter was a little unsteady and he almost dropped the paper.

He quickly clutched the piece of letter paper, put it in his pocket, and then looked around with a gloomy face.

Left anxiously.

After returning to the courtyard, Liu Haizhong was listening to the afternoon gossip in the yard.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong wanted to tease him and asked:

"Old Yi, why did you come back just now?"

"I saw you had already left the factory area. How come you're even later than me?"

Yi Zhonghai seemed not to hear him. He ignored him and just walked past him.

Liu Haixin suddenly felt dissatisfied.

"Tsk, what a joke!"

Second Auntie came out of the house and saw Auntie Hua greeting Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai ignored her and said:

"Old Liu, I think there's something wrong with Yi Zhonghai."

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly.

"Huh, isn't there something wrong with him?"

"You've been demoted, but you still think you're an eighth-level worker?"

"He should figure out his identity!"

"I'm taking the initiative to talk to him now, which shows that I respect him and give him face. What about him?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he turned around in circles in the yard:

"I'm going to say this, if I approach him again, I'm going to take his last name!"

When Yi Zhonghai returned home, Aunt Yi had just finished washing the deaf old lady's clothes and came in with a basin.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting on the bed with a heavy heart. When he saw her enter the room, he asked:

"Why haven't you cooked yet?"

"Where are Bangteng and the others?"

Aunt Yi was resentful and said sullenly:

"His mother took it away."

"Why didn't you invite Huairu and the others to have dinner?"

When Aunt Yi heard this, she asked them to stay for dinner? Did she really think her life was too long?

Throwing the basin on the ground, Aunt Yi said:

"Old Yi, let me discuss something with you."

"Don't let Bangteng come tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled:

"why?"

Aunt Yi pointed at her head and said:

"If he comes again, I'll lose my life here."

Yi Zhonghai then noticed the wound on Aunt Yi's forehead:

"How is this going?!"

Aunt Yi told Yi Zhonghai the whole story from beginning to end.

"I just can't stand it anymore."

"It's not that I don't want to contribute. If everyone is as obedient and sensible as Xiaodang, I would definitely have no objection. The main thing is that Banggeng is too outrageous."

Yi Zhonghai felt heartbroken when he heard that the last bag of raisins was also eaten by Banggeng.

But he still said:

"You too, competing with a child."

"What happened today was just a coincidence. I think Banggeng has learned his lesson. He will behave himself in the days ahead."

Seeing Aunt Yi frowning and not talking, Yi Zhonghai tried to persuade her kindly:

"Huai Ru and the others are in trouble right now. If we don't help them, who will?"

"Alas, it's all our bad luck. We had thought it was a good thing, with Dongxu taking care of us in our old age, and we wouldn't have to worry about our lives. But who would have thought that something like this would happen?"

"Now that Dongxu is gone, he and I are still master and disciple. If we abandon the Jia family and don't care about them anymore, we will definitely be criticized."

"Well, if you hold on for a few more days, everything will be fine when Jia Zhang comes back from the study class."

"My dear, you've been tired and worked hard today. You take a rest, I'll go cook."

The issue of elderly care is Aunt Yi’s weak point.

Hearing Yi Zhonghai say this, Aunt Yi immediately softened.

"No need for you, I'll go cook."

"Then we have to make it clear that now that Jia Zhang is back, Bang Geng can't come, right?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded:

"of course!"

Aunt Yi stood up and went to the kitchen, shaking her head:

"If he stays one more day, I will lose several days of my life!"

"Ugh!"

After sending Aunt Yi away, Yi Zhonghai fell onto the bed.

I kept thinking over and over again about the letter I received in the afternoon.

While Aunt Yi was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, Yi Zhonghai took out the letter and began to study it again.

The envelope was ordinary, the kind commonly seen in supply and marketing cooperatives.

There was nothing special about the letter paper. Yi Zhonghai looked at it over and over for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.

As for the words above, they are written quite neatly.

But it is almost the same as the font printed outside. It looks like it was written like this on purpose and you can't tell anything at all.

Yi Zhonghai turned the letter over and over and read it several times. He memorized the two lines of words in the letter.

Finally, he threw the letter and its envelope into the oven and burned them.

The Yi family’s dinner was simple. Aunt Yi fried some cabbage and heated up the leftover steamed bread.

However, Yi Zhonghai didn't have much appetite today, and put down his chopsticks after eating two bites.

Lying in bed at night, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Knowing the bad things I have done, he still threatens to ruin my reputation. What on earth is going on?

Yi Zhonghai kept thinking in his mind, thinking over everything from beginning to end that he thought might be used against him.
