Chapter 44: Looking for trouble again
At the Yi family, an old lady came back with empty bowls and plates. At this time, Yi Zhonghai was waiting for her to come back.
"Did the old lady eat?"
"I just finished eating and I'm complaining about the lack of oil and water."
"Well, it's good to have a stutter now. In the past, there wouldn't be so many picky ones."
Yi Zhonghai didn't take the deaf old lady's complaints to heart. He ate the same food as the deaf old lady anyway, blanched cabbage, shredded pickles, steamed corn bread and cornmeal porridge. Yi Zhonghai often had to do heavy work in the factory, so the old lady even added three more drops of sesame oil to the blanched cabbage.
"Forget about her, let's eat."
"Ah."
However, the aunt seemed to be quite worried. She took two bites and then put down her chopsticks.
"What's up?"
"Old Yi, let me think about it. Why don't you stop caring about Zhang Yuan's affairs in the future? Look at how much grievance you have suffered since you intervened in the affairs of Zhang Yuan and the Jia family. The key is that Jia Zhang doesn't appreciate it." said the aunt.
"No." Upon hearing the name Zhang Yuan, Yi Zhonghai angrily slammed his chopsticks on the table, scaring the aunt.
Yi Zhonghai said: "I have been managing this courtyard for so many years, just to build an ideal nursing home, so that neighbors are not relatives but better than relatives, so that we won't have such a hard time in our later years. Now Zhang Yuan is a troublemaker. If I can't subdue him, more people will follow suit, not listening to the elders, not respecting the elderly, and only being selfish. There was only one Xu Damao before, and now there is another Zhang Yuan. I must make them obedient."
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. If I could give you a son, you wouldn't have to suffer so much." The aunt became more and more sad as she spoke, and tears came out.
"Okay, so many years have passed, let's stop talking about it." Yi Zhonghai said comfortingly.
"Anyway, don't worry about my affairs. Just take care of yourself and your family."
"Ah."
The aunt responded with a "hmm", but based on her understanding of Yi Zhonghai, she guessed that Yi Zhonghai was still worried about not having children. In fact, she had already decided to adopt a child, but Yi Zhonghai rejected it every time she brought it up. She was worried that the child would grow up to be an ungrateful person, or that the child's biological parents would take him back, and all her efforts would be in vain. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai was a selfish person and had no intention of spending energy, money and time to train the child again. He only wanted to find a suitable candidate in the orphanage.
While the aunt was still thinking about something, Yi Zhonghai had finished his meal, then got up and left, taking a walk in the yard to digest his food.
In the courtyard, many residents were also digesting their food. Some were enjoying the cool air and playing chess, some were bragging, and some were discussing tomorrow's work. But one thing was that after seeing Yi Zhonghai, they all stopped what they were doing and greeted him, which made Yi Zhonghai in a very good mood and felt that his efforts were not in vain.
The only thing that made him unhappy was the Jia family in front of him. After get off work, Jia Zhang was always making a lot of noise, destroying the environment that should have been peaceful.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, you make a lot of noise all day long. Aren't you afraid of affecting the neighbors around you?" Yi Zhonghai walked into the Jia family as usual and said directly to Mrs. Jia Zhang.
"master!"
"Master!"
"Humph!"
"Dongxu, are you feeling better?"
Seeing his apprentice, Yi Zhonghai asked about his condition with concern. At this time, Jia Dongxu was completely collapsed. The originally tall and handsome young man has now become a man who lives a life of idleness and waiting to die at home. He has also aged a lot, now like a man in his 40s, even older than Yi Zhonghai.
Jia Dongxu struggled to sit up, but no matter how hard he tried, it was difficult to do it by himself.
"Huai Ru, come and help me." Jia Dongxu gave up and called Qin Huai Ru over.
"Uncle, please sit down too." After taking care of Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu was busy moving a chair for Yi Zhonghai and pouring a glass of boiled water.
Qin Huairu is indeed the most virtuous and capable woman in the play. Although she is only good to her family and children, outsiders still identify with Qin Huairu and think that the Jia family must have accumulated good karma from their ancestors to find such a good daughter-in-law.
"Master, my body is like this. There is no hope." Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Dongxu, you are discouraged too. Maybe there will be a way in the future."
"Yes, Dongxu, listen to the uncle and take care of your health."
At this moment, Jia Zhang was still concerned about her son, and she didn't want the old to see the young die.
"You can't give up. If you give up, you lose. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and I will find a way to help."
"Thank you, Master. Everything is very good thanks to you. But I am unlucky and I won't be able to provide you with good care in your old age." Jia Dongxu couldn't help crying.
"Oh, silly child." Seeing Jia Dongxu's expression, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh. He chose Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, although he had some intention of taking advantage of him, but people are made of flesh and blood and still have feelings.
"Uncle, Dongxu lies in bed all day and can't go out to relax. I'm afraid it's not good for his health. Do you have any ideas?" Qin Huairu asked.
"Yes, you are right. Then buy him a wheelchair and push him out every day to bask in the sun, walk around and relax. This will also help Dongxu's health," Yi Zhonghai said immediately after a flash of inspiration.
As soon as the word "buy" was mentioned, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu showed difficulty on their faces. Jia Zhang, who was like a loving mother just now, showed an angry look and stared at Qin Huairu fiercely. She must have been cursing Qin Huairu in her heart, saying that this little goblin was trying to take her pension money again.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the expressions of the three people and guessed what the problem was. However, a wheelchair cost about 80 yuan, which was almost a month's salary for him. He would never pay for one for the Jia family out of his own pocket.
Suddenly, an awkward atmosphere appeared in the room.
"Uncle, I heard that Zhang Yuan used to be able to repair things. Can you ask Zhang Yuan to help me get a wheelchair?" Qin Huairu pleaded.
"Yes, that little beast Zhang Yuan will definitely find a way." Jia Zhang said gritting her teeth. The moment she thought of the slap Zhang Yuan gave her that night, her back teeth became loose.
"Besides, isn't Zhang Yuan renovating his house? Ask him to hand over the house so that Dongxu can live in it. At least he can live more comfortably. And I heard that he also built a bathroom in the room. We women won't have to squeeze into public toilets anymore."
Thinking of the decoration of Zhang Yuan's house and the bathroom, Jia Zhang was extremely envious. If she moved to a new house, she would no longer have to travel such a long distance and compete with others for a squatting spot.
Not to mention Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu were also full of joy and looked at Yi Zhonghai with hope.
