Siheyuan: The Cellar

However, the development of things was a little beyond Yi Zhonghai's expectations.

Yan Bugui just kept sighing and drinking.

From time to time, he talked to Yi Zhonghai about their time when they were young.

Then he kept clinking glasses with Yi Zhonghai.

After a while, the wine that Yan Bugui brought was almost finished.

But during the entire process, Yan Bugui never mentioned the adopted child at all.

Soon, after three rounds of drinking, Yan Bugui's face was flushed.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai with tearful eyes and said in a choked voice: "Old Yi, I feel so miserable!

Two days ago, I met a fortune teller on my way back to the hospital.

I was curious for a moment, so I asked him to tell our family's fortune.

Do you know what the result is?"

Before Yi Zhonghai could reply, Yan Bugui continued, "The fortune teller said that our Jie Kuang lacks water in his five elements. Let me find him a godfather with water in his fate.

Otherwise, Jie Kuang will not live past the age of 10.

"Old Yi, tell me, where can I find someone with a destiny of water to be my godfather?"

After saying that, Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly.

But it was different from Yan Bugui’s face full of alcohol.

Yi Zhonghai drank half a bottle of wine, but his face didn't even turn red.

Looking at Yan Bugui's clumsy performance, Yi Zhonghai just wanted to laugh.

Instead of being straightforward, Liu Haizhong started with “Congratulations on your prosperity”.

Yan Bugui's move was obviously much better.

First, he pretended to be depressed and dragged Yi Zhonghai to drink. When they were almost done drinking, he found a reason to lure out the third son of their family, Yan Jiekuang.

As for lack of water in one’s destiny?

That's pure fabrication.

Water! Does the word "hai" in Yi Zhonghai's name have a lot of water in it?

If Yi Zhonghai was not called this name, but Yi Zhongmei, Yan Jiekuang would probably lack the element of wood in his destiny.

Anyway, no matter what Yi Zhonghai is called, Yan Jiekuang has recognized him as his godfather today.

However, even the wisest man can make mistakes.

There is nothing wrong with Yan Bugui's plan.

A normal person, after getting drunk, would hear an old neighbor of many years complaining to him or her.

With a little more thought, he would definitely think that his name contained the character for "water". Then, as his mind got hot, he would say that he wanted to be the child's godfather.

However, Yan Bugui's misfortune started at the first step.

The plan was indeed good. But Yan Bugui himself had forgotten the bottle of wine he had brought today, and he didn't know how many times he had added water to the side.

It's called wine, but actually you can just smell it.

Let alone half a bottle, even if I drank a whole bottle, I wouldn't be able to tell the alcohol content if I met someone checking for drunk driving in the future.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai is now in the mental state of having drunk half a bottle of water.

How could I possibly continue along the lines of what Yan Bugui said?

Now he just wanted to watch Yan Bugui pretending quietly and watch the ebb and flow of the tide himself.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't respond, Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed.

In his expectation, Yi Zhonghai should say that there is "water" in his name at this time, so that Yan Jiekuang can worship him as his godfather.

However, this little difficulty did not bother Yan Bugui. He sat there and muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Old Yi! I suddenly remembered something. Doesn't the word "Hai" in your name mean water?

Look, if you don't mind, I'll let Jie Kuang recognize you as his godfather.

Don't worry, after Jie Kuang acknowledges you as his godfather, he will definitely treat you as his real father.

I will support you in your old age. After a hundred years, I will break the pot for you. What do you think?"

After saying that, Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with anticipation.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai shook his head calmly.

"No way! Old Yan. Although I also like Jie Kuang, but I also met a fortune teller when I went home two days ago.

He said that I was born with the element of earth. The ore that your family uses to mine is the one in the earth, right?

No, I can't be so selfish. If I kill this child, Li Kuang, because of my own selfishness, I will never forgive myself in my life.

I really can't do anything about this matter, you should find someone else!"

Yi Zhonghai used magic to defeat the magic. Yan Bugui couldn't find any fault with what he said.

After all, he just wanted Yi Zhonghai's property.

He also didn't want his son to be killed by Yi Zhonghai.

Although, he felt that what Yi Zhonghai said just now was most likely nonsense, just like what he said.

But who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

What if? What if?

After chatting for a while, Yan Bugui also staggered out.

After Yi Zhonghai sent Yan Bugui out and came back.

Gao Huilan was sitting at the dinner table, staring at him with a smile on her face.

"Haha, I told you a long time ago that the kid from the Chen family is smart. Ten of you can't compare to him in terms of brains. If you want to do something, you should stay away from him.

What happened? Not only did you not listen, but you also went up to provoke them.

Now you are reaping the fruits of your own labor!"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at Gao Huilan and said unhappily, "How could I know that guy was so good at inciting people? Even if I knew he was talking nonsense, what would it matter?

The people in the hospital believe him!"

"Now that brat has aroused the greed of the beasts in the courtyard. In the past, you calculated and calculated, fearing that no one would take care of you in your old age. Now, all the beasts in the courtyard are vying to take care of you in your old age. You are afraid that someone will get there first. So, are you very proud now?"

Yi Zhonghai could naturally hear the sarcasm in Gao Huilan's words.

But he really doesn't know what to do about this matter now.

It was true that he was calculating people's retirement before. But since Chen Guoliang exposed this matter and analyzed the interests involved,

He didn't dare to look for an elderly person in the hospital at all.

If he finds one, he will basically offend everyone in the yard. After all, all those people in the yard are waiting to share his money!

As for those two who were eager to be his sons?

Yi Zhonghai couldn't believe that the other party would really provide for him in his old age.

I'm afraid I'll use my own money now. Seeing that I can make money now, I'll coax myself in a nice way.

When I get old and can no longer work, and then I give the house to the other party, I am afraid that the other party will immediately turn hostile and kick me out.

Then I would freeze to death or starve to death under the bridge.

For a moment, Yi Zhonghai thought of a lot of things, and even thought about his future destination.

"Okay, stop making sarcastic remarks at this time. This is not just about my retirement. It's also about your retirement. Can't you pay more attention?"

Facing Gao Huilan now, Yi Zhonghai has no way to deal with her at all.

Ever since the last time she told me about her relationship with Jia Zhang, and since she knew there was nothing wrong with her body.

Gao Huilan gradually let herself go.

But in this situation, I can't do anything to the other party. I don't even dare to divorce.

After all, the matter between him and Jia Zhang, as well as his infertility, were all leverage in her hands.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't those beasts want your property and house?

Sure! If you want to get something, you have to pay first. Let us see your sincerity!"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a while and figured out what Gao Huilan meant.

Isn't it up to you to decide whether you are sincere enough?
