From Siheyuan to Hong Kong Island Tycoon

Hearing Liu Haizhong's complaints, Yi Zhonghai was furious. If it weren't for your two bastard sons who swindled all the money away, how could we have ended up in this situation?

Although Yi Zhonghai cursed Liu Haizhong in his heart, he didn't say anything on the surface. After all, he would have to rely on Liu Haizhong and the second aunt to take care of himself in the future.

Second Aunt did not go home with Liu Haizhong, but walked towards the cellar with a sad face. No matter how difficult life was, they had to live on.

"It's like a dragon in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in the plain is bullied by dogs. When I, Yi Zhonghai, was an eighth-level worker in the factory, no one in the yard dared to disobey me."

"I never dreamed that I would have such a miserable day," Yi Zhonghai said to Liu Haizhong angrily.

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong just looked up and then continued to paste matchboxes on his own.

Liu Haizhong has now accepted his fate. He knows that with his current age and situation, it is impossible for him to turn things around. Being able to eat enough food is already the biggest luxury for him.

Second Aunt used the little remaining pork at home to stir-fry some cabbage slices, and then steamed some steamed corn bread, which served as the New Year’s Eve dinner this year.

Smelling the fragrance of food from Xu Damao's house and looking at the cabbage slices and steamed corn bread on the table, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong had no appetite at all.

Seeing that neither of them was eating, the second aunt sighed helplessly and said, "Eat, this is the best meal in our house. If you don't eat, you will just starve."

Yi Zhonghai pinched the chopsticks tightly with his fingers and said with gritted teeth: "Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and that Wang Tianfeng, you will not have a good ending. When you are old, you will definitely live a more miserable life than me."

"And that bitch Cui Xiuyun, I have lived with her for so many years, but she doesn't have any feelings for me at all."

This Spring Festival can be said to be the most shabby one that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have ever had. If such food had been offered in the past, they would not even have looked at it.

The food at Yan Bugui's house was not good either, but it was definitely better than what Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong ate. In the evening, they also made some dumplings made of sauerkraut and lard made from two grams of flour.

After Yan Bugui divided the dumplings, he began to eat them in big mouthfuls. Yan Jiekuang next to him ate even faster.

It is said that a young boy can eat his father out of money. Yan Jiekuang was in a good eating condition now. He finished all the dumplings in the bowl in a few bites.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Yan Bugui and the third aunt eagerly and said complainingly: "Dad, Mom, can you give me two more dumplings? I really don't have enough to eat."

Yan Bugui glared at Yan Jiekuang and said unhappily: "Why do you want to eat so much? The food in our house is rationed, so just try these dumplings."

"Besides, eating so much at night will make it hard to sleep. Dad is doing this for your own good."

Yan Jiekuang replied aggrievedly: "Dad, I know our family is in difficulty now, but today is New Year's Eve. You can't let me starve during the New Year."

Yan Jiekuang's words made Yan Bugui silent. He put down the bowl in his hand and slapped himself hard.

"I've let you take advantage of others and make calculations. Now you know what it means to get a big loss by trying to get a small advantage."

Looking at Yan Bugui slapping himself, the third aunt cried and said, "Old Yan, what are you doing? I know you feel bad, but things have already happened and we can only face the difficulties together."

Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were even more shocked by their father's behavior. Yan Jiekuang immediately cried and said, "Dad, don't do this. I don't want to eat anymore. I'm going back to sleep."

This scene of Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang deeply hurt the third aunt's heart. At this moment, she made up her mind that no matter how hard or difficult it was, she would let the eldest son, the second son and Yu Li move back to live.

She knew that only in this way could the current difficult situation at home be resolved and life would get better in the future.

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was eating the bacon and dumplings in the bowl with great satisfaction. While eating, she said to Qin Huairu: "Huairu, don't you think it would be great if our family could eat such food every day?"

"Speaking of which, the food at Xu Damao's house is already so good. I really can't imagine what that little beast Wang Tianfeng eats during the New Year at home."

Xiao Dang glanced at his grandmother Jia Zhang, and then said with a little anger: "Even eating can't stop your mouth, what does your family's New Year's Eve dinner have to do with you?"

"If there is food to eat, eat it. If you don't want to eat, just get off the table. It just so happens that there is not enough food for us mother and daughter."

Jia Zhang looked at her granddaughter Xiaodang in astonishment: "Xiaodang, how can you say that to grandma on New Year's Day?"

"Even if I treated you badly in the past and felt sorry for you and your three children, I am still your elder after all."

"Qin Huairu, as a mother, please say something. You just stand there watching Xiaodang scolding me as a grandmother."

Qin Huairu didn't care about the two people arguing and just ate the dumplings in her bowl, but this also showed Qin Huairu's attitude.

Xiaodang raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandma? From the time you abused us three daughters and mother, and would rather save money for your retirement than support the family, you are no longer my grandma."

"To put it bluntly, you are just an old, useless and pitiful creature now. If my mother didn't feel sorry for you, I would have kicked you out to beg for food long ago."

Hearing Xiaodang's vicious words to her, Jia Zhang was both angry and furious, but she knew what Xiaodang said was true. If she continued to quarrel, Qin Huairu might really kick her out of the house in anger.

I have to say that Jia Zhang has really changed now. She has learned to endure now, instead of throwing a tantrum like before.

Jia Zhang quickly finished the bacon and dumplings in the bowl and said, "I'm going back to the inner room first. I'll come out to clean up after you finish eating.
