Chapter 23 First Bleeding
"Dongxu, how was your day? Did Yi Zhonghai teach you any techniques?"

As soon as Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhang came forward to ask. The Jia family tried to please Yi Zhonghai for this very reason.

Jia Dongxu smiled and nodded: "He taught me. When I got to work in the morning, he told the workshop director to let me learn the skills. My salary also increased."

Jia Zhang immediately said to the roof: "Old Jia bless us, our son has a promising future."

When he lowered his head, he found that Jia Dongxu's face looked a little unhappy: "What's wrong? You don't want to be his disciple?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head: "No. This morning when I was at work, my master told me that he wanted to hold a banquet for me to pay respect to my teacher. I have already agreed."

Jia Zhang was immediately displeased: "You shameless man, you're already thinking about taking advantage of me before I've even taught you anything. It must have been the idea of ​​that greedy old lady in the backyard."

"Mom, don't talk about the master like that. This is how a disciple becomes a disciple." Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly explained for Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Zhang also knew that Yi Zhonghai was right. If only Yi Zhonghai and his wife were invited, she would agree after gritting her teeth.

It is not like that now. We have to invite not only the people in the courtyard, but also those we don’t know. All in all, there are no less than 30 people. If we set up three tables with ten people per table, we have to set up three tables.

And these three tables are probably not enough, because they don’t include the children in the courtyard.

When Jia Zhang thought about spending so much money, she felt distressed: "I don't have any money."

Jia Dongxu was unhappy and said, "What if we don't have money? We can't just not do it!"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "Go find Yi Zhonghai and ask him to give you the money. Sha Zhu's master asks him to get his lunch box every day. He is also a master, but he has no family. All the money will be yours in the future."

Jia Dongxu was not as shameless as he was later. He was frightened by Jia Zhang's words and said quickly, "Mom, I beg you to stop talking. If the master knew about this, he would definitely fire me.

Forget it, I'll borrow this money from my master first, and return it to him after I get my salary.

Mom, please don't mess with me on this matter."

As long as Jia Zhangshi didn't have to pay, she naturally had no objection: "I'm not stupid, I won't let you lose face. Tell him that if he doesn't pay, then there will be no apprenticeship banquet."

Jia Dongxu certainly didn't dare to say this to Yi Zhonghai. He stood beside Yi Zhonghai and didn't say a word for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai thought Jia Dongxu was asking about the apprenticeship banquet, so he asked, "What's troubling you?"

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said, "Well, Master, I looked around at home and only found 10,000 yuan. My mother doesn't have any money either.

Can you lend me some first, and I will pay you back after I get my salary?"

This ten thousand yuan was Jia Dongxu's private money. Every month when he got his salary, it would be taken away by Jia Zhangshi, and he would not leave any money for him. He had saved this little money for a long time.

Yi Zhonghai was in disbelief. He had never thought that the first thing he encountered after accepting a disciple would be this.

"Dongxu, what was your previous salary?"

Jia Dongxu couldn't say anything, and Jia Zhangshi was reluctant to give it up, so she said, "My mother secretly spent all of it. When I went to ask her for money, I found out that she took the money to buy meat at noon. She is my mother, and it is my responsibility that I can't let her eat well. I can only come to you to find a solution."

Yi Zhonghai thought of what Miao Cuilan had told him, that Jia Zhangshi did often buy meat to eat, and he felt that what Jia Dongxu said was true.

When he heard Jia Dongxu didn't complain at all, he felt that he was a filial child. Isn't that what he was looking for, a filial child?
We can't let a child like this be embarrassed just because of a teacher-apprenticeship banquet!

Besides, the matter of treating everyone had been made known, and he couldn’t let others laugh at him.

"You're a good kid, but your mother is always a burden to you. You said you should get married, but he doesn't save any money, so how can he help you get married? I'll pay you this time, and you can pay me back after you get your salary."

Jia Dongxu immediately laughed: "Master, you are so kind to me."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I am your master. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well? By the way, have you told Lao He about the cooking?"

Jia Dongxu was embarrassed again: "Well, my mother has offended him, and I'm afraid Uncle He won't agree." Yi Zhonghai was very positive about the free thing, so he said: "We all live in the same courtyard, there's nothing to worry about. How about this, I'll take you to find him."

The two men broke into the house without knocking, which scared He Daqing.

"Old Yi, what are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai was not embarrassed at all and said directly: "I accept Dongxu as my apprentice and plan to hold a banquet for him tomorrow. Everyone has been invited, except for a cook. Please help Dongxu tomorrow!"

He Daqing thought to himself, that stinky boy Sha Zhu really guessed it right. Then he thought about Yi Zhonghai's words again, and he felt very unhappy that he had no intention of giving money.

I can refuse it, but you can't say nothing at all.

"Okay. I cook outside and it's 100,000 per table. Since we're neighbors, I'll charge you 50,000!"

"Dongxu, you saw it. I said your Uncle He would definitely agree..." Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai reacted.

He Daqing actually asked for money.

How could he ask for money?

Why does he want money?

Do you know that we are all neighbors and asking for too much money will hurt feelings.

"Lao He, are you kidding? It's just a small favor between neighbors, how can you ask for money?"

He Daqing saw that he had already made up his mind not to pay, and he immediately became unhappy: "What's wrong with being a neighbor? Can a neighbor make me work for free? If you don't want to pay, then go find someone else."

Yi Zhonghai was furious, but he couldn't do anything about He Daqing. He Daqing had a bad temper, and if he provoked He Daqing, He Daqing would definitely not let him off.

"Lao He, we all live together, isn't it normal for us to help each other? If you don't help Dongxu today, when you encounter problems in the future, can you still count on Dongxu to help you?"

"Do you think his mother will let him help?" He Daqing asked back.

Seeing that the tricks he had just learned were useless, Yi Zhonghai had to agree with reluctance, and then went home with a gloomy face.

When Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's black face had not yet turned white.

When he got home, He Daqing told him about the cooking incident: "This old Yi is getting more and more outrageous."

Sha Zhu wanted to say, that's because you haven't seen Yi Zhonghai later. At that time, in order to help the Jia family, he didn't even let others go to work. Whenever the Jia family had something to do, they would hold a meeting no matter it was early or late. This made many people in the courtyard late.

He was an eighth-level worker in the factory, and the workshop director didn't dare to do anything to him.

The others were unlucky. Even though the workshop director didn't say anything at the time because of Yi Zhonghai's face, he would write it down when those people were evaluated.

Yi Zhonghai was a man who valued his reputation, and would not speak up for them for such a small matter. Instead, he scolded those people. But what he said was all righteous, and others had no way to refute it, so they could only suffer in silence.

Sha Zhu never expected that in this life, He Daqing actually asked for money.

This is a good thing.

Why should everyone contribute and Yi Zhonghai be a good person?

"Then you better be careful tomorrow. Jia Dongxu's mother is not an easy person to deal with. By the way, I have to go to work tomorrow, so I won't be able to help you in the hospital. If you need someone, find a helper."

He Daqing asked, "Is there something going on in the hotel?"

"No, I just don't want to stay in the courtyard and let Yi Zhonghai be his grandson."
