Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 53 The first day of missing Banggeng

"Old Yi, why are you in a daze? The old lady is gone!" When the aunt saw that Yi Zhonghai had finished his meal, she hurriedly poured him a cup of hot tea and patted the back of his hand.

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, his brows still furrowed, thinking that he was indeed affected by the old lady's words. As the saying goes, "a person in a dream is a surprise", his current state is almost the same, "My dear, do you think there is some truth in what the old lady said?"

"Doesn't that make some sense? I've said it before. There's nothing wrong in you training Jia Dongxu. After all, you are master and apprentice in the steel rolling mill. But you're thinking of letting him take care of us in our old age. This idea is wrong. Dongxu will agree, and will his wife Qin Huairu agree? He still has three children to raise. Even if Qin Huairu agrees, will his mother, Jia Zhang, that old bitch, agree?" The aunt was not a talkative person, but when it came to this issue, the words that had been pent up in her heart flowed out like a torrent of water.

"I didn't think it through! I always thought that my relationship with Dongxu was deeper than that with Shazhu! So..."

"So you are leaning towards Dongxu?" Auntie shook her head. "It would be great if Dongxu was the only one in the Jia family, but what about him? He has a wife, a mother, and children. It's already a heavy burden. If we two are added to the family in the future, have you ever considered Dongxu?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, "I did insist on my own way on this issue!"

"That's okay. We are both still strong now, so it's not too late to change the candidate. Don't wait until we are old and unable to move to make the selection. You will be worthless by then, and will Sha Zhu pay attention to you? If you don't plan ahead, this won't work!" Although the aunt doesn't talk much, she sometimes has a unique view on problems.

"..." This was the first time that Yi Zhonghai took the words of an old lady so seriously and actually agreed with them.

"Besides, you saw it too! Something really happened. The Jia family is truly a bottomless pit. Look at last night and the night before. Nothing happened yet, and you invested a few dollars in it. It's a bottomless pit! No matter how high our salary is, we can't withstand such a ordeal. It's not worth it, Lao Yi!" The aunt felt sorry for her family's efforts and was very distressed.

Yi Zhonghai had to admit that this matter involved too much financial investment and he could not afford to give it much thought. On the other hand, Sha Zhu was so stable.

"This is feasible!" Yi Zhonghai finished drinking water and started smoking. "As for Dongxu, we still need to maintain our relationship, but we also need to pay attention to the principle of closeness and distance. Let's slowly distance ourselves from him. As for Shazhu, let's get along better as soon as possible! I watched this kid grow up, I know him very well, and it's easy to win him over!"

"That's right!" the aunt agreed immediately.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to work!" After smoking a cigarette, Yi Zhonghai carried his bag and prepared to go out.

The lady came over to help him straighten his collar and said, "But remember one thing, Shazhu has special feelings for Huairu. I was scared to death when you told me about Dongxu's injury last time! You must keep an eye on Shazhu and don't let him do anything stupid. If someone dies, who will take care of us in our old age?"

"I know what's going on, don't worry!" Yi Zhonghai patted her hands and walked out with a smile.

As soon as he went out, he saw Li Xiangdong coming out with a small medicine box on his back. He glanced at him and greeted him with a smile, "Xiangdong, are you going to the veterinary clinic? Why don't you lock the door? Aren't you afraid of theft?"

"Hey, the thieves are gone, what are you afraid of? Besides, I'm not afraid of being robbed!" Li Xiangdong smiled when he heard that, patted the door carelessly, walked straight through the middle courtyard and out of the hanging flower gate.

“……” Yi Zhonghai looked back at his unlocked door, the corners of his mouth twitching.

The more I watched, the more I felt that this guy had locked the door on purpose last night just to trick the Jia family.

He thought about it for a long time when he got home last night, and became more and more certain that what he thought was right.

"Uncle, why don't you leave?"

Just as I was lost in thought, Sha Zhu came out from the door opposite and came to greet me with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go." Seeing that it was Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai's mood became better again. He immediately waved and joined him to walk out of the yard, "Let's go together!"

"Uncle, how many days does Brother Jia need to rest? It's not good to keep doing this. What will he eat and drink at home if he doesn't go to work?" Sha Zhu asked with a smile, and then asked casually, "How is his injury?"

"It's also fortunate that Li Xiangdong was treated in time. Director Lin of the hospital said that it's not a big deal and a week of rest will be enough! The injury is not that serious. I will talk to the workshop director later and let him sit and clamp for the next half month... Let's not talk about him. Are you free tonight? Let's have a drink together?" After hearing this, Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and thought about it thoughtfully. He said with a smile on his face: "That's great, I promise to accept the invitation!"

After that, he lowered his voice and laughed, "Besides, the factory has a social event tonight. Director Li told me yesterday that I should prepare a table of delicious food for him! I'll just decorate some gifts and bring them back, and we can have a good drink together!"

"Okay!" Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed when he heard this. It was a good start that Sha Zhu could be close to him.

The two of them talked and laughed, and soon walked away.

Li Xiangdong was tying his shoelaces next to the public toilet. He watched the two people's backs walking further and further away, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As he stood up and was about to leave with his medicine box, a fat figure came out of the courtyard in a hurry and ran straight to the public toilet, with flying hair and beard, and rushed in.

Jia Zhang!
What is this old bitch doing in such a panic?

Li Xiangdong shook his head, feeling sick, and then he saw Qin Huairu rushing out of the courtyard.

"Xiangdong? Are you going to the store?" Seeing Li Xiangdong, the young wife was no longer in a hurry. She stopped and greeted him.

"Yeah, where else would I go if I didn't go to the store..." Li Xiangdong smiled slightly, then asked cautiously, "What happened to your mother-in-law?"

"I don't know either!" Qin Huairu shook her head, but remembering that Li Xiangdong was a doctor, she recalled a little more and said, "But she kept saying that her stomach hurt these past few days, but she couldn't poop...

Is this constipation?
Li Xiangdong suppressed his urge to laugh and said, "Then you better be careful. If you don't handle this well, someone might die!"

"I know, I know!" Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment.

Li Xiangdong was afraid that she would take advantage of him for free, so he ran away in a flash.

But Li Xiangdong kept the fact that Jia Zhang was constipated in mind, and thought he could make good use of it.

What time does Banggeng finish school?

Li Xiangdong was almost impatient waiting for the boy to come home.

Oh, it’s the first day that I miss Banggeng. I miss him so much.

Li Xiangdong arrived at the veterinary clinic in silence. He did not expect that Zhao Rong's husband Wang Li was leaning against the door with a cane. "Brother Wang, why are you here? Is your leg better?"

"Doctor Li, you are finally here!"

Wang Li raised his head with joy and anxiety.

Hearing this voice, Li Xiangdong's heart moved, and he asked hurriedly: "Did something happen?"
