Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

That night, Yi Zhonghai was finally rescued by the deaf old lady through various connections. This was the result of the deaf old lady's efforts and her last bit of connections. Compared to the aunt who was relieved to see Yi Zhonghai return safely, the faces of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were as gloomy as eggplants hit by frost. Needless to say, the deaf old lady was worried about how much he might be affected by this incident. After all, he is now a level 5 worker. If the matter gets out of hand, the factory will definitely punish him severely. So, how will he live in the future?

Yi Zhonghai frowned and moved his lips. Before he could speak, Banggeng ran out of their house. In his chubby little hands, he tightly grasped a piece of fat meat weighing two kilograms. This piece of fat meat was bought by an old lady at the market today. The original plan was to fry a plate of fragrant meat to thank the deaf old lady and also to supplement Yi Zhonghai's nutrition. Who would have thought that Banggeng would take it away when no one was paying attention, and he happened to be caught.

"Banggeng, where are you going?" an old lady called out to Banggeng.

"I'm hungry. You guys are not at home, so I'll take this piece of meat home and cook it." Bang Geng said without turning his head.

"Wait, put the meat down first. I bought this specially for the old lady to eat." The aunt said softly.

However, Bang Geng nonchalantly retorted: "No, it would be a waste to feed this old thing! My grandmother said that she doesn't have many days left to live, so it's better to give our family some nutrition."

He didn't realize that his words shocked the three people present. The deaf old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over, while the aunt was dumbfounded, and Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly became gloomy.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Banggeng, and the words just now reached his ears clearly. In fact, the aunt had mentioned Banggeng's family education problem before, but Yi Zhonghai didn't care at that time and put it behind his mind. Now, his heart aches slightly, as if God is playing a cruel joke on him. He spent a lot of money and always cared for Banggeng, never letting him lack food and clothing, and even secretly gave Banggeng pocket money. However, he never expected that he was actually feeding an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

"Hmph!" The deaf old lady watched coldly, feeling dissatisfied. When Yi Zhonghai wanted to adopt Banggeng as his godson, she had already seen through Banggeng's true nature and was very opposed to Yi Zhonghai's decision. The candidate in her mind had always been Shazhu, and only Shazhu was the most suitable.

The aunt didn't say anything on the surface, but just sighed.

Seeing that the two did not move, Yi Zhonghai knew what they were thinking.

"It's okay, I'm leaving." Banggeng was so heartless that he ran straight back home without even saying thank you.

"Help me go home." The deaf old lady asked an old lady to help her go home.

At night, everything was quiet, but Yi Zhonghai lay in bed tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep. No matter how he tried to calm himself down, the troubles in his heart kept lingering, making him irritable, and even waking up the old lady next to him.

"Old Yi, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?" the aunt asked with concern.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Alas, it's what happened today that has upset me. It seems that what you said before is right, the Jia family is really no good. Bang Geng has gone astray at a young age. Listen to what he said today. He doesn't appreciate the kindness we showed him in the past. We usually care about him more than anyone else, but he still can't learn well. I'm afraid we can't count on him in the future!"

Yi Zhonghai murmured to himself, "What should I do?" He was asking himself and also seeking an answer from the aunt.

The aunt responded earnestly, "I've told you this a long time ago, but you just wouldn't listen. You've always believed that the Jia family is the best. Whether it's Jia Dongxu or Bang Geng, none of them are capable. If we expect them to take care of us in our old age, that's simply wishful thinking!"

"Then what do you say we should do?" he asked helplessly.

"In my opinion, while we are still relatively young, why don't we adopt one from our relatives in our hometown?" Auntie said with a little excitement. Yi Zhonghai is a lonely man, but Auntie still has some relatives in her hometown, and he is the son of her cousin, so she doesn't have to worry about the benefits going to outsiders.

The more she thought about it, the better she thought this was. If she could adopt a child, not only would her life be more meaningful, but she could also plan for her future retirement. After all, she probably couldn't rely on the Jia family alone.

Yi Zhonghai was a little shaken after hearing this. He knew that what the aunt said made sense, but it was not easy to adopt a child from his hometown. They needed to consider many factors, such as the child's health condition, personality characteristics, etc.

"We need to discuss this matter carefully and not make any rash decisions," said Yi Zhonghai.

"Well, I know. But I think this is a good opportunity and we have to seize the time." The aunt said anxiously.

The two fell into deep thought and began to seriously consider the possibility and feasibility of adopting a child...

"No, I can't feel at ease without knowing his background." Yi Zhonghai finally shook his head. He didn't want to raise someone else's son for nothing, especially one whose parents were still alive. What if the biological parents changed their minds in the future and wanted their son back? Wouldn't he have made a loss? He decisively refused the aunt, but didn't notice the dim look in her eyes.

"Then why don't we listen to the old lady and go find Shazhu. We have watched Shazhu grow up since he was a child and we know him inside and out. He has a kind heart and will definitely be able to take care of us in our old age." The aunt said again.

"No, no." Yi Zhonghai shook his head again and rejected Auntie's suggestion. Seeing Auntie didn't understand, Yi Zhonghai explained to her personally, "Shazhu is a good person, with good character and warm heart. These are his advantages, but don't forget that Shazhu still has a biological father. Now that He Daqing is back, it's impossible for him to not support his father and only support the two of us. The most important thing is that he has been in prison, and it will be difficult for him to find a job after he gets out. Think about it, can you rest assured?"

The aunt didn't know what to say anymore. Sometimes Yi Zhonghai was too stubborn and once he made up his mind, nothing could change it even with ten oxen.

The next morning, Yi Zhonghai, who was supposed to go to work, actually asked someone to ask for leave for him. He wanted to go visit Sha Zhu. This confused the aunt. She clearly said last night that she didn't want to look for Sha Zhu, but she said she was going to see him early this morning. The aunt almost thought that Yi Zhonghai was crazy.
