The comeback begins in a courtyard house

Standing to the side, Wei Yifeng was truly surprised that Yi Zhonghai's obviously deceptive words could actually persuade Sha Zhu to agree to mortgage his house. Especially the statement that he and the Jia family would help him pay off the debt; anyone who didn't know better would think that Sha Zhu was spending the money himself.

Wei Yifeng's gaze swept back and forth over Yi Zhonghai for a moment, and a thought suddenly came to mind. If Yi Zhonghai were to organize a pyramid scheme, many people would probably be successfully brainwashed by him. That could be considered a skill. It's just a pity that he was born at the wrong time. If it were a few decades later, there might be another master of success.

"Ahem! Yifeng, you heard what we just said, right? It's not that we don't want to pay, it's just that no one can come up with that much money all at once! How about this, we can pool our money and see how much we can raise. I estimate we can definitely get over a hundred. Otherwise, we can only have Zhuzi mortgage the house to you first, and then you can pay back a portion of the money every month. You must pay it off within two years. If you can't pay it off within two years, then the house is yours. What do you think?"

Just as Wei Yifeng was lost in thought, Yi Zhonghai walked up to him, coughed twice, and then presented two solutions.

Wei Yifeng glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then at Jia Dongxu, and finally fixed his gaze on Sha Zhu.

"Shazhu, are you really sure about this? Don't go back on your word later. Who am I supposed to ask for the money? And can you really make the decision about this house? What if your dad comes back and then denies everything? I'll be at a huge loss. Why don't we go to Baocheng and ask your dad?"

"Need not!"

"Need not!"

As soon as Wei Yifeng finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu's voices rang out at the same time.

"It's a legacy! Old He abandoned his family and ran off with Widow Bai, so this house naturally belongs to Zhu Zi. Why go to Baocheng to ask him? Don't worry, we are all witnesses to this matter. Even if Old He comes back, he can't say anything. Dongxu, go and call Second Uncle and Third Uncle over, and have them be witnesses."

Upon hearing that Wei Yifeng had actually instigated Sha Zhu to go to Baocheng to find He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai's heart clenched. If Sha Zhu were to meet He Daqing, his own scheme would surely be exposed. He absolutely could not let Sha Zhu go to Baocheng. That's why Yi Zhonghai said "no need" without hesitation and quickly settled the matter.

Upon hearing his master's words, Jia Dongxu agreed and hurriedly ran to the front yard and the members' backyard to find Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Since Yi Zhonghai appeared, Xu Damao was like a mouse seeing a cat, not daring to utter a sound and hiding in a corner. However, he heard every word of their conversation. After Jia Dongxu ran off to find his second and third uncles, Xu Damao's gaze towards Sha Zhu changed. He couldn't understand what was going on in this fool's head.

At the same time, I deeply admire Wei Yifeng. In this courtyard, there are not many, if any, people who could make the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai suffer losses. Wei Yifeng has set a precedent in history.

Soon Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui arrived at the Central Court. When they heard that Sha Zhu was going to mortgage his house to Wei Yifeng in order to get a letter of understanding for Jia Zhangshi, the two of them were speechless.

"Silly Zhu! You'd better think this through! Once you sign this mortgage agreement, there will be no going back."

With a large pregnant belly, Liu Haizhong deliberately put on the air of a leader and made a profound expression.

"Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Liu Haizhong, do you really think you're some big shot? Instead of wasting your time, why don't you go and properly educate your son? And you, Yan Laoxi, if you're not going to be a gatekeeper at the entrance, you won't get any advantage in the Intermediate Court."

Seeing Liu Haizhong's leader-like demeanor, Sha Zhu curled his lip, his reckless spirit rising, and launched an indiscriminate attack on Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

"You...you...Hmph! I can't be bothered to argue with you. Silly Zhu, let me tell you, you'll regret this someday. Hurry up and write, we need to go back for dinner later!"

After being rebuked by Sha Zhu, Liu Haizhong's face flashed with annoyance. Pointing at Sha Zhu with a furious expression, Liu Haizhong roared a couple of times in disappointment.

Standing next to Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui also showed a hint of anger when he heard Sha Zhu call him Yan Laoxi. After all, he was the only intellectual in this large courtyard, and he had always considered himself a cultured person. Now, he was being looked down upon by a cook, which was simply an insult to his culture.

After hearing the stories from the others, Yan Bugui immediately realized that Yi Zhonghai was just fooling the idiot. He was surprised that the idiot was still gloating. He thought, "I'll wait and see what you do next. I'm going to be the witness today."

Driven by his desire for revenge against Sha Zhu, Yan Bugui realized that this matter was extremely unfavorable to Sha Zhu, but he didn't say anything, only sneered.

Finally, with several witnesses present, a mortgage agreement was written. After Sha Zhu and Wei Yifeng signed their names, the three stewards also signed their names.

"Silly Zhu! Listen carefully, two years! You only have two years. If you don't pay back the money in two years, this house won't be yours anymore. Okay, I've given you the letter of understanding. Go find your Aunt Jia now."

"In my opinion, Jia Dongxu, Sha Zhu will be part of your family sooner or later. You might even have to call him 'Dad.' I wish your whole family a good life together. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, get out of here."

Wei Yifeng put away the agreement that had been signed and fingerprinted by several people, then turned and walked back into the house. Seeing that Wei Yifeng had already gone back, the people present greeted him and went back to their own homes.

After a simple breakfast, Wei Yifeng rode his bicycle toward the steel mill. As for whether the Municipal Bureau would release Jia Zhangshi because of his letter of understanding, that was beyond the control of an ordinary citizen like him.

After arriving at the steel rolling mill by bicycle, Wei Yifeng had just parked his bike when he heard a surprised voice behind him. Logistics Director Li Huaide walked up to Wei Yifeng with a smile and grabbed him as if afraid he would run away.

"Oh, Brother Yifeng, you're finally here! I was so worried about you not coming to work these past few days. Did something happen? If it's something at home, just let me know if you need anything."
