Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

"What's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously.

"I'm really grateful to you for Dongxu's matter. You have saved our family. And you have killed two birds with one stone. Dongxu's attitude towards you has also changed now. You see... we agreed before about twenty kilograms of grain and ten Can you still give me [-] yuan on a monthly basis in the future?”

After Qin Huairu asked, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly darkened.

He thought, those who are close to vermilion are black and those who are close to ink are red.

This sentence also makes sense.

Qin Huairu has been staying with Jia Zhang for a long time.

You really learn from whomever you want.

How dare you ask such a shameless question.

Jia Dongxu has reconciled with him, why would he give so much?

But since it was brought up, it would be a good time to take this opportunity to make an agreement.

Lest the Jia family regret it again in the future.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law of the Jia family, what we agreed on before cannot be changed. But I thought about it carefully. Just because I brought things to your family, I didn't see anything in return from your family. .I don’t think it’s very fair to me.”

"If you want Dongxu to take care of you in your old age, that will happen twenty years later. If you treat us well, Dongxu will definitely not treat you badly!"

"That's right."

Yi Zhonghai continued: "But who can say for sure what will happen in the future? I think it is better for us to write down all the conditions, so that we can have proof, what do you think?"

Qin Huairu thought: This old man is afraid that his family will regret it and wants to make an agreement again.

She had never wanted Jia Dongxu to provide for Yi Zhonghai in his old age.

If this agreement is signed, wouldn't it mean that we have fallen into Yi Zhonghai's trap?

Thinking of this, she chuckled and said: "Uncle Yi, can you still not trust me as a person? Besides, we all live in the same compound. You are good to Dongxu, but Dongxu will not be good to you in the future. He is in the neighborhood I can’t hold my head up in front of us! So I don’t think there is any need to sign an agreement in such a quarrel. Our two families always speak on the same page..."

"It's okay if you don't sign with me."

Yi Zhonghai learned two tricks from the deaf old lady and put them into practice immediately.

"If you don't sign, Jia Zhang will definitely come to me when the time comes. I'll just sign with her."

Qin Huairu's face changed.

Jia Zhang didn't know that she asked Yi Zhonghai for money, and Jia Dongxu certainly didn't know either.

This is the secret of her own little treasury.

If Yi Zhonghai really goes to find Jia Zhang or Jia Dongxu.

Hasn’t this secret of mine been discovered?

She couldn't just follow Jia Dongxu without leaving any money for herself.

"That's not what I meant, Uncle Yi."

Qin Huairu smiled flatteringly and said: "Go to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law can't understand Jia Dongxu. You know what she is like. Sometimes Dongxu doesn't listen to her words. It's useless for you to sign with her! Dongxu!" Xu only listens to me now."

"Then will you sign or not?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to listen to her nonsense and asked directly.

"Signing... is not impossible, but we have to agree on how to sign in advance!"

"Everything is clearly written in black and white."

"Then after you sign this agreement, will you still give us twenty kilograms of grain and [-] yuan per month?"

"Just give it what you agreed in advance."

Yi Zhonghai thought, he had given it before anyway.

Qin Huairu has a saying that is right, there is no reward without effort.

Jia Dongxu knows that he has given a lot, and he will be able to honor himself when he gets older.

After all, it's almost funny that he's not his biological son.

"That's okay. I'll go home right away and draft a copy, and we'll sign it then."

Qin Huairu struck while the iron was hot and quickly wanted to end the topic.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai agreed. If you don't give it today, you can ask him for it tomorrow.

Yi Zhonghai has the best face, if you say a few words to him, he will definitely give it to you.

He couldn't stand what others said about him.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's sign it here, right?"

"How can I sign without pen or paper?"

"Go to my house."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, both of them felt a little embarrassed.

"Go get it from my house."

Yi Zhonghai also realized it and quickly changed his tune.

After saying that, he went back and took out a pen and paper.

Qin Huairu said: "As for the first one, you give us twenty kilograms of grain and [-] yuan every month, and it is stipulated that it should be in the middle of each month. You will be paid at about that time."

"no problem!"

Yi Zhonghai and Ben'er agreed directly without even calling.

"The second thing is that you will still take care of Jia Dongxu in the factory from now on. It is best if he can pass the exam as soon as possible. After he passes the exam, his salary will be much higher. When you are old, I can provide you with support, right?"

"This is no problem!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Then the third one..."

"You've already said two things, it's my turn to say the third."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "The third one is that after I retire, Jia Dongxu will give me a pension of [-] yuan a month."

"Two hundred thousand dollars?!"

Qin Huairu immediately shook his head and said: "You only give us [-] yuan a month now, and we will give you [-] yuan when you retire! Should you invest in us?"

"Looking for your family to support me in my retirement is an investment! Why should I pay if there is no return?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't hide it any more.

He and Qin Huairu are both straightforward people, so there is no need to play riddles.

"But this is too much. Our family still has to live in the future. You can't..."

"If you don't agree, I'll go find Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang even promised to give me [-] yuan!"

Yi Zhonghai said and was about to leave.

When Qin Huairu saw it, the duck he had got stopped flying.

Let's talk about the future.

What if she and Jia Dongxu can't get through that time yet.

"Okay, okay, just do as you say."

"You said two things, and I also said two things. The fourth thing is, if your second son is a son, he must be adopted by me."

"You should give up on this!"

There is no way Qin Huairu would agree to sell her son to Yi Zhonghai.

That was her own flesh and blood.

Not to mention the ones that were already born, they were the ones that were not born in the belly last time.

She couldn't let go.

"Jia Zhang agreed."

"What happened if she agreed? She agreed, and the neighbors found out, and you scolded our family. This is not done yet. After this is done, you can see the effect! Unless you don’t want to live in this compound anymore.”

Yi Zhonghai was a little shaken by Qin Huairu's words.

"Otherwise, let's make a compromise. All the sons born to Jia Dongxu will call you godfather. The child is still in our family, but you have to work hard. With this relationship and your hard work, the child will not be bad to you in the future. It must be like treating your own grandpa!"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a while, and it seemed that what he said made sense.

Isn’t this the same principle that Jia Dongxu provides for himself in old age?

"Okay, just do as you say!"

The two hit it off immediately and signed and stamped their signatures.

Qin Huairu was much smarter than Jia Zhang, and not only did she not give Yi Zhonghai the chance to write the final explanation.

I also copied another copy by hand, one for each person.
