Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

Chapter 7: Lao Yi, I'm afraid Zhuzi won't be impressed by what you have.

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai came to the house of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady said, "Zhong Hai, since you are not going to take care of your apprentice today, how do you have time to come here?"

Yi Zhonghai heard the dissatisfaction in the deaf old lady's words.

He did not come over for some days.

The main reason was that Jia Dongxu often had things going on at home, so in order for him to be able to take care of himself in his old age, I just went there to take care of him.

He thought that the deaf old lady should not be forgotten. Although she was old and alone, she was taken care of by the state.

I heard that he once made shoes for the Red Army.

Who would dare to mess with such a person in the yard?

As long as you have a good relationship with her, everyone will respect you as well.

Yi Zhonghai had already decided that he would provide for the deaf old lady in her future.

How can the relationship between these two people not be good?

At the same time, it can also set an example for Jia Dongxu, allowing him to learn from himself and be able to provide for himself when he is old.

Today, I want to talk to the deaf old lady about the pillar issue and get some advice.

He briefly narrated the incident and then expressed his thoughts.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady picked up her walking stick and hit his leg.

"You didn't do this wisely."

"I really don't know what you were thinking. You actually went directly to ask Zhuzi for the house? There's no way he could give it to you."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and shook his head, "I was just confused for a moment."

The deaf old lady added: "It's probably hard to succeed even if we give Zhuzi a small favor."

"You all called him stupid before, but I think he is not stupid at all."

"After today, he knows your feelings and will not be moved by small favors."

"If you want to give, give more, and not only from the pillars, but also from the rain."

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly after hearing this and thought to himself, she is indeed an old lady, she has lived long and thinks deeply.

The deaf old lady said, "I know you want Zhuzi's house so that Jia Dongxu will be grateful to you and provide for you in your old age."

"But in my opinion, this is not reliable."

"Is Jia Dongxu worse than Zhuzi?"

"Not to mention, there is Jia Zhang in his family, who is not a good person. Can she let her son support others in their old age? Now she is talking nicely, but she is just trying to take advantage of you. When you are old and have no value, she will definitely turn against you and deny it."

"Why don't you just be kind to Zhuzi and Yushui sincerely? Maybe when you are old, they will be able to take care of you."

Yi Zhonghai did not agree with the deaf old lady's point of view. He knew very well what kind of person Jia Dongxu was.

This is my apprentice, whom I taught personally. How can I not treat him well as his master?

Doesn’t the old saying go, once a teacher, always a father?

He believed that his choice was not wrong.

As for Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai also knew that she was not a good person.

But if Jia Dongxu is determined to provide for him in his old age.

Jia Zhang, an old woman, couldn't do anything to her son.

Besides, I have already invested a lot in Jia Dongxu, and I would be unwilling to give up just like that.

"Okay, old lady, I won't say any more. I'm leaving now and going to buy two pounds of meat."

"I'll treat you to meat tonight."

When the deaf old lady heard about eating meat, her eyes lit up.

"Eat meat? Okay, go ahead."

......

Yi Zhonghai came back from the market carrying two pounds of meat and a fish.

Two pounds of meat and a fish, one pound of meat was left for the deaf old lady, and the rest was for Zhuzi.

If small favors really aren't enough, then give something bigger.

He remembered that Zhuzi and Yushui had not eaten meat for more than half a year, and had not eaten fish for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai once noticed that Yu Shui often drooled at the fish caught by Yan Bugui, and knew that she wanted to eat fish.

So I just bought one and let the rain thank me.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Yan Bugui coming back listlessly with a bucket of water.

"Old Yan, what's wrong? You look so listless. Didn't you catch any fish today?"

As he said this, he went up to take a look at the bucket and said in surprise, "Isn't this a catch?"

"There are three of them, and one of them is of decent size."

"Then why are you like this?"

Yan Bugui sighed, "Oh, don't mention it."

He saw the meat and fish that Yi Zhonghai was holding. There were about two kilograms of meat and three kilograms of fish.

"Old Yi, you live a good life, eating both meat and fish."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "This is not for me to eat."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Could it be for your good disciple?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head, "Not really."

"This pound of meat is for the deaf old lady."

"The other pound of meat and this fish are for the pillars and the rain."

"It's been almost a year since He Daqing left. Zhuzi and Yushui have a hard time living and can't eat well."

"I'm not helping them."

Yan Bugui understood Yi Zhonghai's plan as soon as he thought about it.

He was not as kind as he said he was, and he had never helped the two siblings before.

What is this probably about?

Qin Huairu is about to give birth, so there will be one more person in the Jia family, and there is only one house, which is definitely not enough for them to live in.

So we put our calculations on the pillar.

Looking at the meat and fish in Yi Zhonghai's hands, Yan Bugui sneered in his heart.

With so little money, you still want Zhuzi's house. That's just wishful thinking.

But he knew very well that Zhuzi had sold the fish he caught today for a lot of money, and he also had a big fish weighing fifteen or sixteen kilograms.

How could I possibly like what you have in your hand?

He looked like he was enjoying a good show, and said with a smile: "Old Yi, I'm afraid Zhuzi won't be impressed by what you have."

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled. "How could that be? They haven't eaten meat or fish for half a year. My meat and fish are fresh. How could Zhuzi not like them?"

Yan Bugui said, "Do you know what Zhuzi did today?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "I don't know."

Yan Bugui said: "He took the rain water to go fishing."

Yi Zhonghai smiled, "Fishing? Only he knows how to fish."

"If he knew how to fish, would life be so difficult?"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai like this, Yan Bugui looked forward to Zhuzi's return even more.

He felt unhappy because his plan to plot against Zhuzi had just failed. However, he became excited when he thought about seeing Yi Zhonghai's dumbfounded look later.

Without saying anything more, he said, "Old Yi, you will know in a moment."

Yi Zhonghai became even more confused. He would know soon. What would he know?

Could it be possible that Zhuzi could really catch some fish?

But so what?

He can only catch small fish at most, but the one I have in my hand is a big fish weighing three kilograms. How can they compare?

While we were still talking, He Yuzhu came back.

He held a bucket and a fishing rod in one hand and held He Yushui in the other.

He Yushui jumped up and down, eating candy in his mouth, feeling very happy.

My brother is so awesome, he caught a big fish and sold it for a lot of money.

And buy yourself some candy.

You can also eat big fish at night.

I'm so happy.
