Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

The sudden fainting of the old deaf man caused chaos in the Yi family. Although Sha Zhu had recovered some strength after eating, his joints were still not healed and he had difficulty walking. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to borrow a cart to take the old deaf man to the hospital.

After paying the fee, registering, and going through a lot of examinations, Yi Zhonghai finally returned to the courtyard with a tired face.

The aunt had already cleaned up the house. Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming back, she hurried him to sit down and poured him a cup of water.

"Lao Yi, drink some water and take a rest."

"How's the old lady doing?"

"The doctor said it was nothing, I was just too tired recently, and I fainted due to some stimulation. I will be fine after lying down and resting for two days."

The aunt was relieved after hearing this, and then sighed:

"Zhu Zi is really something. He has suffered such a big loss this time and still hasn't faced the reality. The things he said... No wonder the old lady fainted from anger."

Sha Zhu still doesn't think he did anything wrong. He thinks he was fired because he was framed by a traitor. As long as he defeats Bai Wanli, he can return to his position as the chef of the cafeteria at any time.

In this situation, it seems a bit difficult to make him realize that he is a complete waste.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about him. Shazhu has lost his job now anyway. Let the old lady worry about finding him a job and introducing him to a wife. We still have Dongxu."

The process of sending the old deaf man to the hospital today touched Yi Zhonghai deeply.

Although the old deaf woman was a five-guarantee household, and the state provided her with food, accommodation, medical care, and burial, she suddenly fainted. If I hadn't been there, there wouldn't have been anyone to take her to the hospital.

I am not even a five-guarantee household, and my spouse is not in good health. When I am really old, if there is no one to take care of me, I might die from a bump, and my body may not be discovered until it rots and stinks.

Yi Zhonghai trembled all over when he imagined that scene. The huge fear made Yi Zhonghai more determined to train Jia Dongxu, the only remaining elderly caregiver.

"Speaking of Dongxu, the Jia family has been enjoying a lavish life recently, and it seems like they have made a fortune. I'm afraid Dongxu has done something illegal. If he is... caught, it will be the end. Now the matter of Shazhu is over, why don't you go and ask him?"

The aunt paused in the middle of her words. After being married for so many years, Yi Zhonghai naturally understood what she meant.

Director Bai, who is now living in the cross-yard, is responsible for catching those who break the law and irregularities. If he finds Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai feels that Bai Wanli will not let Jia Dongxu go, with the example of Sha Zhu.

"I'll go to the Jia family and ask."

When it comes to his own retirement, Yi Zhonghai burst out with great action and immediately went to the Jia family

I knocked on the door, and it was Qin Huairu who opened it.

"Hello, uncle"

Yi Zhonghai smiled kindly, controlling his gaze from falling on Qin Huairu's headlights.

"Huai Ru, where is Dong Xu? I have something to talk to him about."

Qin Huairu looked tangled: "Uncle, what a coincidence, Dongxu is out."

"He went out so late, what was he doing?" Yi Zhonghai frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

"I don't know either. Dongxu didn't say."

"Huai Ru!" Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice, his expression very serious, "Where on earth has Dong Xu been? Your family has been eating lavishly recently. Where did the money come from? Tell me quickly, don't lie to me!"

"Master, I..."

"Huai Ru, don't hide it. If Dong Xu really has something wrong, tell me as soon as possible so that I can help cover for him. If Bai Wanli finds out, you know what will happen to Sha Zhu."

In fact, Qin Huairu had been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. After being frightened by Yi Zhonghai, she said

"Uncle, I dare not lie to you. This money is all earned by Dongxu from business."

"Business? What business?"

The country now prohibits individual businesses, and small vendors are all illegal. Besides, what business can you do if you go out late at night?

Go to the pigeon market to trade? Or steal from the factory?

"I really don't know what kind of business it is. Dongxu said that doing business is a man's business. He didn't let me follow him, and he didn't tell me what kind of business it is."

"Then when will he come back?"

"It depends. Sometimes I come back in the middle of the night, and sometimes I don't come home until the rooster crows."

Yi Zhonghai was getting more and more uneasy, and even started to get a little anxious.

"When Dongxu comes back, you let him pass... No, I will come to him in person then!"

Having witnessed Sha Zhu being fired and the old deaf man being left helpless, Yi Zhonghai attached great importance to Jia Dongxu, the only remaining elderly caregiver. If he didn't explain things clearly to Jia Dongxu, he would definitely be restless and toss and turn.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Qin Huairu turned and walked into the house.

Jia Zhang picked at the meat strands between her teeth with her fingernails and asked, "What's the matter with that old, lost family?"

"An uncle came to ask where Dongxu goes every night. Mom, Dongxu makes so much money, is he really doing something illegal?"

Qin Huairu expressed her worries, but the next moment, Qin Huairu felt a flash before her eyes, and with a slap, Jia Zhang slapped her hard on the face.

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and shouted arrogantly, "What are you talking about, you unlucky person! How could my good son Dongxu do something illegal? If you continue to talk nonsense and curse my son, I will ask Dongxu to divorce you and send you back to the countryside!"

Jia Zhang has always been unreasonable, and after two days of good life, Jia Zhang deeply felt that her eldest son Dongxu was a very capable person, so she naturally looked down on Qin Huairu, a country woman, and she was probably planning to drive Qin Huairu away.

Anyway, as long as the grandson stays, Qin Huairu and Xiaodang are of no concern to Jia Zhangshi.

Drive this country woman away, make room for Jia Dongxu to marry a rich, powerful, young and beautiful city girl, who is worthy of their Jia family.

Qin Huairu covered her face, lowered her head and said nothing, her eyes full of resentment.

"You old hag, you're still trying to drive me away!? When I find an opportunity, I'll drive you back to the countryside first!"

Qin Huairu had no idea how to deal with the Jia family mother and son, so she could only spend the night with resentment and a vague sense of uneasiness.

Late night

Jia Dongxu walked out of the casino with bloodshot eyes and smelling of cigarettes. He stood outside for less than two minutes before two people ran up to him and kept nodding and bowing.

"Master Jia, Master Jia!"

"Sorry to have kept you waiting"

Chapter 49 Jia Dongxu's Ambition, the Security Department Prepares for Action

Jia Dongxu nodded at them proudly.

“Where’s today’s money?”

They each took out a stack of money from their pockets and handed it to Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu looked at it.

"It's only a dozen bucks. You two are unlucky today."

The two smiled and one of them said, "That's right. We are not blessed by God like Mr. Jia, who has good fortune and luck. We work hard all night and it's good enough to earn some hard-earned money."

"But this is all thanks to Master Jia, otherwise we brothers wouldn't even be able to drink this little broth that Master Jia despises."

One of them was called Niu San and the other was called Niu Si. Jia Dongxu met them outside. At that time, the two brothers went to Jia Dongxu to ask him about ways to make money.

Jia Dongxu didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but he had made a fortune at that time, and his mentality was rapidly expanding. Niu San and Niu Si fawned on him like slaves, and promised that if Jia Dongxu introduced them to a way to make money, they would hand over half of their earnings to Jia Dongxu as a tribute.

Jia Dongxu certainly didn't mind the money, so he generously took the two brothers into the casino.

The two brothers kept their promise. Every day, they would give half of the money they won in the casino to Jia Dongxu, calling him "Master Jia, Master Jia" as if they wanted to follow him.

Jia Dongxu won more and more money in the casino, and with Niu San and Niu Si's constant flattery, Jia Dongxu's greed and ambition continued to expand.

Today, this amount of more than ten yuan, which was equivalent to his half-month salary in the past, made him despise it.

Facing the flattery of Niu San and Niu Si, Jia Dongxu was already extremely arrogant in his heart, but he still nodded calmly. He thought that this was the "prestige" that a boss should have.

After giving the two brothers a cigarette, Jia Dongxu asked, "San'er, Si'er, are you two willing to follow me in the future?"

The two brothers looked at each other, and the elder brother, Niu San, clasped his fists in a very chivalrous manner.

"Master Jia, don't you understand what we two brothers mean to each other? Once you call me Master Jia, you will be Master Jia to us for the rest of our lives!"

"Just tell me what you want me to do. We will fight for you, even if it means risking our lives!"

Niu San's words sounded like pure bullshit to those who were actually in the underworld, but to Jia Dongxu, who had no actual experience in the underworld, he felt like he was standing on the stage, full of the ambition to command the country.

"Okay! It's great that you two have this intention. It's too boring to always come to other people's places to play. I will open my own place in a few days. Then you brothers will come to watch the show for me. You two brothers will definitely be indispensable to the glory and wealth!"

Jia Dongxu's ambition is rapidly expanding under the constant flattery of Niu San and Niu Si. What he wants now is to be the boss himself and open his own casino, so that he can win more money, play with more beautiful women, and more people will call him Master Jia.

Niu San and Niu Si were obviously shocked by Jia Dongxu's "grand blueprint". Niu Si said tentatively

"Master Jia, opening this place is no small matter. Apart from anything else, just to attract dozens or even hundreds of people to gamble, the stakes must be at least several thousand dollars. We brothers really can't help with this amount."

"No need for your help, I've already made a plan. Brother Meng has a big plan in private. He has invited a lot of people to start the game in his small house tomorrow night. Each person needs to have a minimum of 1,000 yuan in gambling capital to enter. As long as I win all their money tomorrow, I will naturally have the capital to start the game!"

Listening to Jia Dongxu's "money-making plan", Niu San and Niu Si's facial features kept twisting, and they pinched their thighs desperately, but finally they managed to hold on.

"Then we brothers will immediately make other preparations, find people and places, and wish Master Jia good fortune and prosperity!"

Jia Dongxu held a cigarette in his mouth and patted the two brothers on the shoulders.

"With the help of you two brothers, why should I worry about not being able to accomplish great things?"

------

"Hahahahahaha..."

Under the night sky, Niu San's laughter can be described as "the sound of gongs and drums and the blast of firecrackers".

Niu Si stood aside, and from his expression he looked like he was enduring a lot of hardship.

"Brother, can you control yourself a little? If someone hears you, they will think you are a psychopath and send you to a mental hospital."

“Hahahaha… catch me?! If you want to catch someone, catch that idiot Jia Dongxu first. He’s the real psychopath!”

"Will he win a few thousand dollars tomorrow to start a casino? Even if he is lucky enough to win, will he be able to take the money out?"

"Why worry about not accomplishing great things? I really don't know which storyteller told this. Does he think he is Liu Bang or Xiang Yu?"

"He is such a loser, comparing him to Xiang Yu is an insult to Xiang Yu"

"Don't talk about this, let's go report the news quickly."

"Yes, go find Chief Liu right away!"
