Just as He Yuzhu expected, Yi Zhonghai was struggling to pry the floor tiles in his house at this moment.

"Boss, what are you going to do now?"

"This big one is really hard to take out, so I tried to exchange it for ten small ones."

Li Qinglian asked with a puzzled look on her face: "But why did you change it?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped what he was doing and said with emotion: "Ah, I finally understand. As long as you have power, the money will flow into your pocket."

"When I have a status, I will have a say in the community. I won't be as passive as I am now, where any neighbor can bully me."

Li Qinglian warned him, "But this is really too dangerous. Have you forgotten that you almost lost your life last time?"

"Last time?"

"Last time I was careless and found someone unreliable. Don't worry this time. I found someone who is absolutely safe."

“It just costs a little more money.”

Li Qinglian looked at Yi Zhonghai, whose eyes were filled with cruelty, and thought that it was all because of the lack of children.

"Boss, why don't you call my nephew over? I just contacted him a while ago, and this kid is actually not married at all~"

But before she could finish her words, Yi Zhonghai interrupted impatiently: "Okay, I know what you mean."

"But have you ever thought that even Zhuzi, who knows everything about me, has become like this after watching me grow up."

"You've only been in touch with Da Zhuang in the past two years. How do you know what kind of person he is?"

"To put it bluntly, if a wolf is summoned, we old couple may not even have many years to live, let alone retirement!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qinglian was immediately blocked from saying something.

"Okay, but can we adopt a child? You're not even fifty yet, and by the time you're sixty, the child will be grown up."

"When the time comes~"

"Okay, I've told you so many times, don't mention adopting a child anymore."

"Have you forgotten about the lonely old man in the next yard?"

Li Qinglian was also anxious. "But even if you become the factory director, there will still be no one to support you in your old age, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned cold. "You know nothing. If I really become the factory director, people who want to recognize me as their father will have to line up."

"By then, not to mention Zhuzi, even Xu Damao will have to come and please me."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Yi Zhonghai, Li Qinglian simply lay on the bed and started crying.

However, she was not feeling guilty about not having a child, but was sad about Yi Zhonghai's current changes, because she had secretly gone to the hospital for a check-up some time ago.

The doctors also said that although her health was not good, which made it less likely for her to get pregnant, she was not impossible to get pregnant.

So just as He Yuzhu had said to him at the beginning, it was actually Yi Zhonghai who was infertile.

But as an old woman, even if she divorced Yi Zhonghai, who would want her? She had no choice but to follow Yi Zhonghai.

But Li Qinglian also had another idea in her mind, that is, her nephew Li Dazhuang, according to the letter he wrote to her.

My nephew is not living well in the countryside now, and his elder brother and sister-in-law both died of illness during the difficult times in the past few years.

So when Li Qinglian replied to the letter last time, she specifically stuffed ten dollars into the envelope, thinking of leaving herself a way out.

While Yi Zhonghai was holding the big yellow croaker, he was actually hesitating in his heart whether he should take her nephew over as his wife said.

But if this kid comes, what should I do if the mother and I join forces?

After all, this nephew is his wife's nephew, not his Yi Zhonghai's nephew. He doesn't want to have to depend on others when he returns home.

Yi Zhonghai's idea was very simple. As long as he could become a leader, even if he was just a team leader, it would not be easy to choose a suitable person to take care of the elderly.

As for the Jia family, if they are happy, give them two bones, and if they are unhappy, just ignore them. This way, keeping the Jia family hanging can create a good relationship. In case the old man cannot be relied upon in the future, there is still Bang Geng as a backup old man.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai patted Li Qinglian. "Old lady, believe me, we will definitely be able to spend our old age in peace."

But Li Qinglian did not respond. Although Yi Zhonghai was furious, he had to rely on Li Qinglian to take care of him when he returned home, so he just sat there quietly to calm down for a while.

At three o'clock in the morning, Yi Zhonghai took a kitchen knife, tied the big yellow croaker to his body, and then carefully went out.

As a result, as soon as he walked to the door, he met Yan Bugui, who was also wrapped tightly.

Yi Zhonghai looked down at the basket in Yan Bugui's hand and smelled the faint smell of salted fish in the air, and he knew that this miser was going to the black market to sell salted fish again.

Yan Bugui was also surprised to meet Yi Zhonghai, because in his impression, the rations in Yi Zhonghai's family were more than enough to eat.

But recently he had heard Zhao Zhanfu say twice that Yi Zhonghai would go to Pigeon City for a stroll every now and then, and would bring something back every time he came back. He couldn't help but feel envious, thinking that this person was living a really carefree life.

Seeing that they were all in the same boat, Yi Zhonghai lied and said, "Old Yan, what are you doing?"

Yan Bugui cursed inwardly, why are you asking such a question when it’s so obvious?

So he asked directly: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Oh, Qin Huairu said that her family didn't have enough food, so she asked me to help get some corn flour."

"Oh, go ahead. I just couldn't sleep and came out for a walk."

Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart, this damn old stingy man can really lie with his eyes open, who would come out with salted fish in the middle of the night because he can't sleep?

He Yuzhu, who was hiding behind the hanging flower gate, was almost amused. This stingy old Yan was not at a disadvantage at all when confronting Yi Zhonghai with words.

He didn't get angry before, but it was because Yi Zhonghai had a deaf old lady supporting him. Now, how could he possibly spoil a toothless sick cat?

At this time, Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly. "Just say you're selling fish, there's no point talking nonsense."

Yan Bugui ignored him, and the two of them walked out of the yard one after the other, while He Yuzhu followed them quietly.

What surprised He Yuzhu this time was that after turning into an alley, Yi Zhonghai did not go back to where he went last time, but instead went around twice and headed towards the south of the city.

He Yuzhu sneered in his heart. It seemed that Yi Zhonghai was still very vigilant and even knew how to go around in circles. In this case, He Yuzhu had no choice but to follow him at a distance.

Yi Zhonghai was like a thief, looking back every few steps, fearing that he would be cheated like last time.

After walking for more than twenty minutes, Yi Zhonghai finally found the address given by the bridge builder and knocked on the door according to the method given by the bridge builder, one long and two short knocks.

A moment later, an old woman with gray hair walked out of the door.

"What are you doing so late at night?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly responded according to the code given to him: "The moon is high in the sky, I can't sleep because of the shaking, so I want to change to a less troublesome one!"

"Menqing, who introduced you?"

"Oh, the sun rises in the east."

"Liangzi, that's fine, give me the ticket."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly gave the "one dollar" given by the bridge builder to the old woman. This was the rule he was told, and this old woman was just the first hurdle.

The old woman collected the marked "ticket" and then knocked on the ground with her cane. Immediately afterwards, a teenage boy ran out of the yard.

"Dongzi, take him there. Remember to ask for travel expenses after you get there."

"Okay, grandma."

Then Dongzi waved his hand and took Yi Zhonghai into the alley next to him.

This scene stunned He Yuzhu in the dark. He didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai was so capable.

He actually found such a place to exchange things, but this also means that this old guy must be making a lot of money this time. He Yuzhu didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly followed him carefully.
