In the cellar

"Huai Ru, why don't you persuade Dong Xu? He came to my house and asked me to help him apply for a house. What kind of thing is this?"

Yi Zhonghai saw that Qin Huairu was well and had no intention of keeping the appointment.

Jia Dongxu ran to his house and cried to him that the house was not big enough.

He was too embarrassed to refuse, so he could only go to Qin Huairu and ask him to persuade him.

Qin Huairu said gently: "I advised. My mother-in-law didn't listen to me. If I talked too much, she would beat me.

Uncle, our house is too small. When Banggeng grows up, there will be no place for him to live.

Just help us!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Qin Huairu to have the same idea, and he felt uncomfortable: "If your family has a house, you have to move out. Are you willing to move out?"

Qin Huairu knew that Yi Zhonghai didn't want the Jia family to move, so she said, "Dongxu and I think so. When the house is ready, let my mother-in-law live there, and Dongxu and I will stay in the courtyard.

My mother-in-law is too troublesome and people in the community have a lot of complaints about her.

We thought that if my mother-in-law moved out and didn't cause trouble in the yard, she wouldn't cause you any trouble."

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat moved, but also somewhat resistant.

He hated the trouble the Jia family brought, but he also wanted more trouble for them.

The more troubles the Jia family has, the more important he becomes to the family.

Qin Huairu whispered, "Now that my mother-in-law is gone, you can better build relationships with Dongxu and Banggeng, right?"

This reason touched Yi Zhonghai's soft spot, and his resolute heart began to waver.

Qin Huairu took the opportunity to lean on him and persuaded Yi Zhonghai with gentle words.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear to say no and agreed to help.

After leaving the cellar, a gentle breeze blew and Yi Zhonghai's mind became clear. He regretted agreeing to Qin Huairu.

He didn't dare to regret it, so he went home and ate breakfast the next morning, looking absent-minded.

"What's wrong with you? What's on your mind?"

Yi Zhonghai felt that the lady had no idea and didn't want to discuss it with her, so he stood up and said, "I'll go find the old lady."

The lady said, "Then take the old lady's breakfast over there!"

Looking at the steamed buns and pickles handed to him by an old lady, he was somewhat reluctant.

He was in the yard all day, asking everyone to buy delicious food to honor the deaf old lady.

How would others look at him if he brought steamed bread and pickles with him?

But he was too embarrassed to refuse the old lady, so he had no choice but to go to the backyard with the steamed bread and pickles.

I didn’t want to meet someone, but I happened to meet him.

"Uncle, you are delivering food to the old lady. Why are you delivering steamed bread and pickled vegetables?"

Yi Zhonghai explained awkwardly: "The old lady wanted to eat steamed bread and pickles, so I made some. I persuaded her to eat some steamed buns made from two kinds of flour, but she was not happy."

The person who asked the question actually regretted asking that question.

They have seen an old lady bringing steamed bread and pickles to the deaf old lady every day.

Both parties felt awkward and separated quickly.

The deaf old lady was a little disappointed when she saw the food Yi Zhonghai brought over: "Zhonghai, I'm old and can't get used to eating steamed bread."

Yi Zhonghai thought, it's just like who is used to it. If there is any way, he will not be happy to eat steamed bread. But isn't this the only way?
I finally saved some money, but was cheated out of 10 million by the head of the labor and personnel department.

“Madam, I’ll let Cuilan deliver it next time.

Yi Zhonghai was thinking of asking the aunt to deliver steamed bread and pickles next time.

The deaf old lady thought that Yi Zhonghai agreed to buy her delicious food, and she smiled happily.

"Why are you here this morning?"

Yi Zhonghai then told the Jia family about their request: "I think what Huairu said makes sense. Apply for a small house for the Jia family and let the old sister-in-law move out. This will also help us educate Dongxu."

The smile on the deaf old lady's face disappeared, and she said with a sullen face: "Why are you still stubborn? Dongxu is a good man, but he has a mother who is not easy to take care of. Shazhu is the one who can take care of you in your old age."

Yi Zhonghai was a little angry: "No, old lady, I know you have a problem with your sister-in-law.

But you don't need to mention Sha Zhu. Given his relationship with us, can he promise to provide for our old age?"

The deaf old lady sighed. She knew He Yuzhu would not do what she said.

The key is to live a good life with He Yuzhu. Just look at He Yushui, a little girl who will get married sooner or later, but He Yuzhu can take good care of her.

If she could fool He Yuzhu, all the good life that He Yushui has now would be hers.

"Even if you don't want to listen, I'm still going to tell you. I'm doing this for your own good."

Yi Zhonghai felt very upset. For the first time, the words "for your own good" sounded so harsh.

"I will not let Sha Zhu be my old man. He is not qualified at all."

The deaf old lady shook her head helplessly and decided to wait until Yi Zhonghai was in a better mood before talking to him.

"It's good for Jia Zhang to move out, but you can't agree to it. If you agree to the Jia family, what will you do if other people in the courtyard come to you in the future?"

"I..." Yi Zhonghai was naturally unwilling to help others, but he also knew that he couldn't do that.

Once he offended everyone in the courtyard, they would unite and eat up the whole family, and he would be finished.

The deaf old lady said, "The Jia family's house problem needs to be discussed in the long run. But you must remember that you must not agree to it."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and left the deaf old lady's room.

Xu Damao hid aside in a humble manner, trying his best not to be discovered by Yi Zhonghai.

He waited until Yi Zhonghai left before going home: "Dad, I was just in the yard and heard an old man discussing with a deaf old lady about applying for a house?"

Xu Fugui was stunned and asked, "What did they say?"

Xu Damao shook his head: "I didn't dare to get close. I only heard the words 'apply for a house', and I didn't hear the rest clearly."

Xu Fugui also knew that it was difficult to do, as there were so many people coming and going in the courtyard that it was impossible to eavesdrop. However, this was enough.

He went to Liu Haizhong's house and told him about Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's application for a house.

Liu Haizhong was a little unconvinced: "Old Yi doesn't need a house at all, how can he be qualified to apply for it."

Xu Fugui said: "Who knows. Maybe Damao heard it wrongly. I just want to tell you to be on guard against Lao Yi."

After Xu Fugui left, Liu Haizhong was still wondering about Yi Zhonghai's purpose.

The second aunt urged him: "Eat quickly so I can clean the table."

Liu Haizhong said irritably, "Why are you rushing me? I'm just thinking about something. Lao Yi doesn't need a house to live in, why did he apply for a building?"

The second aunt said casually: "Maybe he wants to get close to the boss. Didn't you say that he has a good relationship with Director Yang?"

Liu Haizhong slammed the table and said, "That must be the case. Old Yi is really sinister. He only thinks about himself when he gets something good. He deserves to be wiped out."

The second aunt was startled: "Be careful. Don't let the deaf old lady hear it."

Liu Haizhong shrank his head and whispered, "If I heard it, I would hear it. How can I be afraid of her?"

Second Aunt did not argue with him. In the whole courtyard, there were only two families who were not afraid of the deaf old lady. One family was the deaf old lady's godson, Yi Zhonghai; the other family was He Yuzhu.

No matter how dissatisfied the others were with the deaf old lady, they did not dare to show it openly.

When Xu Damao saw Xu Fugui coming home, he came up to him and said, "Dad, what's going on? Did the second uncle get fooled?"

Xu Fugui patted his head and said, "What do you mean by being fooled? I didn't lie to him.

The conditions of the building are much better than those of the courtyard house. If he really gets the application, he will have to thank me."

The two of them hadn't said a few words when they suddenly heard the sound of slamming the table coming from the Liu family.

"what happened?"

"I don't know. I guess he was fooled. We'll know if Liu Guangtian cries later." Xu Fugui said.

Xu Damao asked: "How about I call Guangtian over to ask him later." (End of this chapter)
