Siheyuan: The Cellar

Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a recliner in the room, holding a large enamel pot and sipping tea leisurely.

By this time, Sha Zhu had already gotten off work and came into the house carrying the meat he had just bought.

Ever since Sha Zhu knew that he had beaten Yi Zhonghai in a rage.

The longer time passed, the more guilty he felt.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai refused to talk to him afterwards, which made Sha Zhu even more at a loss.

After all, ever since He Daqing left, it has basically been Yi Zhonghai and his wife who have been taking care of them.

In Sha Zhu's mind, Yi Zhonghai is almost the same as his father.

Now he beat his father, and his father ignored him. As a baby of more than 200 months old, Sha Zhu was naturally panicked.

So starting from the third day, Sha Zhu went to Yi Zhonghai's house every day to help with cooking and wait on Yi Zhonghai.

The busy schedule and the fear in his heart made him have no time to think about whether Yi Zhonghai had taken care of him and He Yushui in the past two years.

If he really took care of them, how could the two siblings almost starve to death at home the year He Daqing left?

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also opened his eyes. After seeing the meat in Sha Zhu's hand, he was delighted at first.

After all, if you can eat meat, no one would want to eat pickles and steamed corn bread every day.

Although Yi Zhonghai's current salary is high enough, there are only him and Gao Huilan in the family and they don't have much money to spend.

But precisely because there are only him and Gao Huilan at home, Yi Zhonghai knows how to save more than anyone else in the courtyard.

Because he has no children, no matter how much money he earns, he dare not spend it lavishly.

Otherwise, if you spend lavishly now, what will you do in the future? Will you starve to death when you can’t make money in the future?

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai could only save as much money as possible. Therefore, compared with most people in the courtyard, his family's food was not much better.

In fact, it's not even above average.

When Yi Zhonghai saw the meat that Sha Zhu was carrying, he was delighted at first, then his mind raced and he quickly came up with an idea.

"Zhu Zi, I know you are rich now, and besides, there are only you and Yu Shui at home.

But you can't spend your money carelessly! You will be 20 after the Chinese New Year. It's time to find a wife.

Even though your father left you and Yu Shui and ran off with a widow, you at least called me uncle. I will definitely help you with this matter.

If you keep doing this, spending every penny you have, what will you do when you get married and have children? "

Yi Zhonghai's righteous PUA directly moved Sha Zhu to tears. He almost knelt down and bowed his head in worship, calling Yi Zhonghai dad.

When I thought about how I had gone crazy and beat up such a nice old man a few days ago, I suddenly felt like a non-human.

What is pattern? This is the pattern.

I beat up an old man, but instead of taking it seriously, the old man was worried about his future.

Think again about the father who abandoned me and my sister and ran off with a widow.

Comparing the two, Sha Zhu suddenly hated He Daqing more and respected Yi Zhonghai more.

This is exactly one of Yi Zhonghai's goals, to praise one and step on the other. By stepping on He Daqing, he can achieve his goal of praising himself.

This way, he could deepen Sha Zhu's hatred for He Daqing through his subtle influence, and also highlight his own greatness through He Daqing.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. Why not do it?

And with Yi Zhonghai's mind, he could think of more than that.

What I just said can only be regarded as a prelude.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Sha Zhu was moved to tears by him, and he knew that the time had come.

Then he continued, "Okay, okay. I didn't mean to say that to you. If you don't like it, I won't say it again. Don't cry. You're almost twenty. What's the point of crying?"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai seemed to have misunderstood him, Sha Zhu quickly wiped away his tears and explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just feel that you and Auntie are really good to me, better than my own parents. I......"

Sha Zhu wanted to say something else, but Yi Zhonghai interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, alright. Let's not say these words again. I was also wrong just now, and Da Qing must have its own difficulties.

Zhuzi, don't keep blaming your father.

I just feel worried for you because I see you eat so much meat and fish every day and don't know how to save money. If I had this money, I would definitely not dare to spend it like this. I feel sorry for you just by looking at it.

You are young now and don’t know the importance of things. When the time comes, you will find a partner, get married, and have children. If you can’t come up with the money, you will have a headache then.”

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu gradually fell into deep thought.

After all, he is almost 20 years old now. It's time to find a partner.

Although Sister Qin is nice, she is married after all. And she is pregnant.

No matter what, Shazhu is a skilled chef, so he has to find a virgin girl, right?

Seeing Sha Zhu pondering for a while, he was about to speak.

Yi Zhonghai spoke first at this time: "Zhu Zi, I understand what you mean. Logically speaking, we are just neighbors. It is definitely inappropriate for you to ask me to keep your salary.

But since you insist, I'll reluctantly keep it for you!

Otherwise, your lavish spending is really not a good thing."

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu fell into deep thought again. Or rather, he was in self-doubt at this time.

He wondered if he had lost his mind again. When did he ever say that he would let an old man keep his salary for him?

But on second thought, this seems to be possible!

Sha Zhu still has a certain understanding of himself. After all, the problem of him spending money lavishly that Yi Zhonghai mentioned does exist.

At the end of each month, I really don’t seem to be able to save much money, and sometimes I even use up the money I saved previously.

However, Yi Zhonghai was well-known for his diligence and thrift in the hospital. Moreover, his diligence and thrift were different from Yan Bugui's stinginess.

To put it simply, Yi Zhonghai spends money where he should spend it and doesn't spend a penny where he shouldn't spend it, while Yan Bugui doesn't spend a penny where he should spend it or shouldn't spend it.

There is an essential difference between the two in how they treat money.

Then, Sha Zhu made up his mind and agreed to it directly.

He didn't even plan to collect his salary himself, but let Yi Zhonghai lead him.

Yi Zhonghai was also very satisfied with Sha Zhu's attitude.

He said, "Of course, as a man, you can't be penniless. Let's put it this way. I'll give you 50,000 yuan in pocket money every month, and I'll save the rest for you. I'll pay you back when you get married."

Suddenly, Sha Zhu felt that Yi Zhonghai was more considerate. After all, he had not even thought about the pocket money.

"Brother, where is my meal money at school?"

At this moment, He Yushui's voice sounded behind Sha Zhu.
