Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 493 Yi Zhonghai: Why is it different? (First update)
Jia Zhang didn't know whether Qin Huairu would do this.

But he knew that Yi Zhonghai would definitely do this after he knew the news.

He knows Yi Zhonghai too well.

His obsession with children far exceeds that of others, but unfortunately his wife cannot have children for various reasons.

If it weren't for maintaining his image in the courtyard, he would have divorced Aunt Yi and married another woman long ago.

If Qin Huairu promised to give birth to a child for him, and considering that Qin Huairu had already had an affair with Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, who had already lost face in the Siheyuan, would definitely nod without hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai is not only the target of Qin Huairu's bloodsucking, but also the target of Jia Zhang's bloodsucking.

She also hoped that Yi Zhonghai would teach Bang Geng the locksmith skills he had learned throughout his life, so that Bang Geng could also become a senior locksmith in the steel rolling mill.

If Qin Huairu really got together with Yi Zhonghai and gave birth to a son for Yi Zhonghai.

Given Yi Zhonghai's personality, he would definitely kick the stick away immediately and devote himself to teaching his own son.

By then, the Jia family will be left helpless.

Because he has no master, Bang Geng will work as a low-level employee in a steel mill for his entire life and will never become a senior fitter.

Looking at Jia Zhang's changing expression, Qin Huairu snorted coldly and replied, "What am I afraid of?"

"If you push me too far one day, I can do anything."

Facing Qin Huairu's answer, Jia Zhang saw only coldness in her eyes.

He was frightened, fearing that Qin Huairu would really abandon Banggeng and marry someone else, or even directly marry Yi Zhonghai, the blood-sucking bag of the Jia family, so he answered quickly.

"Huai Ru..."

"Mom was kidding you..."

"You continue to make money by making matchboxes, and I'll make dinner..."

After saying that, he ran to the kitchen dejectedly, not daring to say a single extra word.

Half an hour later, Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng appeared together in the central courtyard of the quadrangle and went straight to the east wing of the Jia family.

Ever since Qin Huairu promised to provide support for Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age and pay ten yuan a month for living expenses, Yi Zhonghai and his wife no longer cooked for themselves and went to Jia's house for meals every day.

Seeing that the person cooking tonight was still Jia Zhang, and Qin Huairu was sitting at the door pasting matchboxes with no intention of getting up to help, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately flashed with surprise and confusion.

Based on his understanding of Jia Zhangshi, now that Qin Huairu has lost her job and has no one to rely on, he, as the mother-in-law, will definitely exercise his right to be the head of the household and let Qin Huairu be responsible for dinner for the whole family.

As a result, Jia Zhang chose to cook for herself and let Qin Huairu make matchboxes at home.

Could it be that Jia Zhang has become more diligent?

Yi Zhonghai couldn't think of any other explanation and could only blame it on this incident.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't think much about it. After all, this was an internal matter of the Jia family and had nothing to do with him.

However, his desire to control Qin Huairu has become stronger and stronger.

One of the important reasons why he proposed that Qin Huairu give up her job position in the steel rolling mill to Bang Geng was to make Qin Huairu lose her support, so that he could keep Qin Huairu firmly in his hands in the subsequent pension business and make her lose the power to resist.

It has been ten days since Qin Huairu lost his job. Yi Zhonghai can no longer resist the urge to control Qin Huairu and hold him in his own hands.

At the dinner table, Yi Zhonghai put down his bowl and chopsticks after taking a few bites of food, and said to Qin Huairu with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Huai Ru..."

"Your mother-in-law's cooking is not as good as yours..." "You promised to take care of us in our old age. I think it's better for you to cook tomorrow. By the way, let Sister-in-law Jia have a rest. After all, she is too old."

Qin Huairu ate the food in the bowl without raising her head. She snorted in objection: "I have to paste matchboxes and have no time to cook. My mother is the only one at home who has time to cook."

"If you think my mother-in-law's cooking is not tasty, can you ask my godmother to come and help?"

Yi Zhonghai's wife didn't want to cook with Jia Zhangshi, so she refused without thinking: "You promised to take care of us in our old age, why should I cook?"

"Don't think I don't know."

"Old Yi gives you ten yuan a month for living expenses, and the two of us only eat dinner at Jia's house, and the food and vegetables we eat together may not even be worth five yuan."

"The remaining five dollars were all used to subsidize the Jia family's meals."

"Lao Yi and I didn't say anything, but you still want me to cook. Do you really think that Lao Yi and I are fools who let you fool us?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked at Qin Huairu with dissatisfaction and replied: "Huairu..."

"I can understand why you use the living expenses I pay to subsidize the Jia family. After all, the Jia family does not have much income."

"But you can't just take advantage without suffering any loss."

"I've paid so much for living expenses. I don't want to eat any fancy food, but at least the food should be delicious..."

"If you can't even do this, how can you provide for us old couple in our old age?"

The implied meaning of Yi Zhonghai's words is very simple.

If you, Qin Huairu, don't bow your head and don't cook for yourself tomorrow night, then she will not be able to continue to support the old couple in their old age.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, at least two yuan out of the ten yuan living expenses he handed in every month was embezzled by Qin Huairu.

Although it is not much, for Qin Huairu who is unemployed, two dollars of pocket money every month is still a considerable sum, and she will definitely not give up this income easily.

If he wanted to earn some private money from his own hands, he would have to continue to provide for himself in his old age. Qin Huairu in front of him would have to bow to him and cook for him personally tomorrow night.

Under normal circumstances, if Qin Huairu compromised in front of him for the first time, there would be a second time, or even a third time.

As he thought about it, the corners of Yi Zhonghai's mouth curled up unconsciously, as if he had seen Qin Huairu bowing to him and him holding her in the palm of his hand.

But the imagined scene did not appear.

Qin Huairu had no intention of responding and continued to eat the steamed bun with cabbage in her hand.

She didn't speak until she had finished eating the whole bun: "Godfather..."

"I'm busy looking for a job and making fire boxes...I don't have time to cook anyway."

“And my mother-in-law likes to cook herself.”

"If you feel that you are at a disadvantage by eating with us, and that our Jia family is taking up your living expenses, you can go home with your godmother and cook for yourself, and we can eat separately."

Yi Zhonghai widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to answer his question in this way.

It's completely different from the result I wanted.

Seeing Qin Huairu's disbelief, he asked back, "Then what about our pension agreement?"

"Don't you want the house that Bang Geng lives in now? Don't you want me to teach him locksmithing skills?"
