Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The deaf old lady passed by He Yuzhu's house, smelled the fragrance coming from inside, and sighed heavily.

She didn't understand how her relationship with He Yuzhu had become like this.

He wanted to ease the relationship with He Yuzhu, but found that it would only make the relationship between them more distant.

If she could ease the relationship with He Yuzhu, she wouldn't have to be so suspicious over a little food.

Recently, the food that Yi Zhonghai sent to the deaf old lady was 10% short.

The deaf old lady suspected that Yi Zhonghai was targeting her, but she had no evidence. She also suspected that Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were hiding at home and eating well, so she came to Yi Zhonghai's house every day with a cane.

They say that eating alone is too lonely and it is more lively when eating with Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

I don’t know whether Yi Zhonghai guessed what the deaf old lady was thinking, but he didn’t show any intention of refusing.

In fact, how could Yi Zhonghai not guess it?

But he couldn't help it.

Qin Huairu lost so much money that she would come to him every night to complain about her poverty and her miserable life.

In order to help Jia Dongxu keep his wife, he had no choice but to pay money.

After this happened a few times, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore and could only let the deaf old lady and himself suffer and eat poorly.

"Zhong Hai, you have to work all day, you can't eat so badly."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old lady, how can we not eat like this? You know the situation of Dongxu's family. People in the courtyard are unwilling to help, and we can't watch his family suffer."

The deaf old lady frowned and said, "I really regret persuading you to choose Dongxu. The burden on their family is too heavy."

Yi Zhonghai thought the deaf old lady was going to dislike Qin Huairu again, so he defended her, "Old lady, Dongxu is already very good. If it were someone else, the situation would actually be similar.

They all have to marry and have children, and their burdens are no less than Dongxu's.

Dongxu has another advantage that they don’t have, which is obedience.

If it were someone else, who can guarantee that they wouldn't turn against you?

You had high hopes for Sha Zhu, but in the end, Sha Zhu is the most unfilial person in the entire courtyard, hitting his elders every day."

The deaf old lady couldn't help He Yuzhu clear this. She also resented He Yuzhu for hitting his elders.

The deaf old lady also knew that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense.

In the entire courtyard, the only person who can make them feel most at ease is the obedient Jia Dongxu.

They won’t feel at ease if they replace him with someone who is disobedient.

“Never mind, I also know it’s hard to choose a suitable elderly caregiver.

I want to ask you, when will Dongxu's salary be raised? You are looking for someone to support your elderly, not a burden.

If Dongxu continues to be like this, relying on you for food every day, what will you do when you get old and have a headache or fever? "

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Old lady, don't worry, I have been teaching Dongxu recently. The factory is also preparing for the assessment, and he will definitely pass it."

But the deaf old lady didn't believe it.

She didn't know any locksmith skills, but she knew that in the past few years, Jia Dongxu was always full of confidence before starting each work.

Whenever it comes to exams, Jia Dongxu always has problems.

"Can you really guarantee that he won't faint this time?"

"I..." Yi Zhonghai wanted to say that he could guarantee it, but he really didn't have the confidence to make this guarantee for Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu's skills are not high, but after learning from him for so many years, he still has the skills of a first-class worker. Otherwise, Jia Dongxu would not be able to complete his daily work tasks.

He just didn't understand why Jia Dongxu always fainted during exams.

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression and knew that he could not guarantee it.

"I don't know much about locksmithing. I just want to remind you that you must think of a way to get Dongxu through the assessment. If he becomes a first-class worker, he can get a salary of 30 yuan.

With this money, your burden will be much lighter.

This is good for both you and him.

Although the old saying goes that if you teach your apprentice well, you will starve your master to death, but you should let Dongxu take the lead. "Yi Zhonghai felt wronged. He really didn't hold back on Jia Dongxu in the past two years. But Jia Dongxu didn't have the talent and didn't study hard.

"Old lady, others don't believe me, but you still don't believe me? I really taught Dongxu seriously."

The deaf old lady looked at him for a while before she believed him half-heartedly.

"Then why does he always fail the exams?"

"I don't know." Yi Zhonghai answered straightforwardly.

He really didn't know.

In the last exam, he told Qin Huairu two or three days in advance to take good care of Jia Dongxu and make sure Jia Dongxu had enough to eat. The couple should also pay attention to their sexual life and not affect Jia Dongxu's physical strength.

Qin Huairu promised him that she would not let Jia Dongxu touch her for a month.

According to Jia Dongxu's age, he should be able to recover in a month and there won't be any impact.

The result was disappointing. Jia Dongxu fainted in the examination room again.

"You are an experienced old man. Can you help me think of a solution?"

The deaf old lady frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good solution. Smelling the fragrance coming from the He family, she didn't know what was going on, so she said, "It's probably because he doesn't eat well. If we can ask Sha Zhu to cook him a few good meals, it would be good to supplement his nutrition."

Yi Zhonghai said: "Don't mention that heartless guy Sha Zhu. We were so good to him, but he didn't show any gratitude at all."

The deaf old lady sighed helplessly: "It really doesn't work. You can give some gifts to the invigilators and ask them to take care of Dongxu when they are invigilating."

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat unhappy.

Those invigilators were all senior workers in the factory, on the same level as him.

Other people's disciples don't need to give in, but his disciple does, which is too embarrassing.

"I can't bring myself to do this."

The deaf old lady also knew that it would be too difficult for the arrogant Yi Zhonghai to use the back door.

But how can we do it without going through the back door?

"Zhong Hai, have you ever calculated how much Dong Xu makes as an apprentice per month? How much does it cost to become a first-class worker?

Don’t you understand how much difference there is?”

Yi Zhonghai still didn't say anything, obviously unwilling to do so.

The deaf old lady said, "I have thought carefully about our situation in the courtyard recently. Everyone is afraid of us on the surface, but in their hearts they don't care at all."

Yi Zhonghai snorted: "How dare they? As long as I stay in this courtyard, they must respect you as their ancestor."

The deaf old lady said: "Why wouldn't they dare? If they really wanted to respect me, they wouldn't hide from me."

Yi Zhonghai had nothing to say. Of course he could see how those people in the hospital treated the deaf old lady.

But there is no good way.

He can't always keep an eye on others and check whether they are filial or not!

An old lady came to Yi Zhonghai's rescue: "Old lady, how about we talk about making shoes again?"

The deaf old lady shook her head: "You can mention it, but you can't put it in the open. Don't forget that Yan Bugui knows the truth.

If you mention it too much, you’ll easily let something slip.”

There was nothing the aunt could do.

The deaf old lady said, "I've thought about it. Everyone blames me because I often take sides with you. It may not be obvious once or twice, but it will become obvious over time.

My idea is to stay behind the scenes and not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. This way, I won't cause resentment among the people and can help establish the prestige of my ancestors.

You, on the other hand, need to face the problems of the hospital independently, which requires you to build your own prestige.

All your prestige has been consumed in helping the Jia family.

So, I asked you to help Jia Dongxu become a first-class worker.

He can support himself, and you don't need to waste your prestige on the Jia family." (End of this chapter)
