Siheyuan: The Brilliant Life of Second Aunt

As soon as Yi Zhonghai opened the door, he saw his apprentice standing at the door.

He looked pleading, really helpless.

It’s already this late, and you’re still here.

"Master, are we eating? You see, I came at a really bad time." One has to lower his posture when asking for a favor from others. Besides, it is not shameful to do so to one's own master.

He came over even when it was time for dinner.

This disciple is so tactless.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, but there was nothing he could do. He had wanted to take in an apprentice to take care of him in his old age.

Since Jia Dongxu has been chosen, he has to finish the task even if he has to kneel down. Otherwise, all the efforts made before will be wasted.

Yi Zhonghai leaned aside and said, "Okay, come in.

You haven't eaten yet, why don't you eat something?" He was just being polite, but unexpectedly Jia Dongxu sat up and said to the aunt,

"That's so embarrassing.

"Master's wife, please give me a pair of chopsticks. This dish is quite good. It has meat!"

This is the person my husband found to take care of my elderly. What a piece of shit! She has no modesty at all and even orders her around.

Counting on him to provide for my old age seems like a dream. The aunt shook her head and went into the kitchen.

There was no way, she knew her husband, and even if she didn't go to the kitchen, her husband would give orders.

It would be better if he took the initiative.

But, today's money was wasted. I bought the meat with the intention of improving my life.

The couple wanted to finish their meal secretly, but they were interrupted by Jia Dongxu.

And judging from the look of it, it seems like he can't even put much meat in his stomach. I'm speechless.

Sure enough, as soon as Jia Dongxu got the chopsticks, he went straight to the meat.

The speed was so fast that it seemed as if he hadn't eaten for years. Yi Zhonghai didn't have time to react and only picked up two pieces.

As for his wife, there was only one piece, and in the end she was gone.

All went into Jia Dongxu's stomach.

After finishing the meal, he patted his stomach and said, "I'm so full, thank you for the treat, Chef.

Oh, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Master is really the best."

Yi Zhonghai was about to say something, but after hearing what Jia Dongxu said, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

This child is suffering. Is there a Jia Zhang above him? There are several children below him.

For a family to rely on just one person's salary, the burden is indeed heavy.

If I didn't have him as my master, I wouldn't know how I would survive.

It’s enough for Jia Dongxu to know how to be grateful.

Yi Zhonghai was also very pleased.

"Okay, just eat it.

From now on, if you want to eat anything, come and tell your master's wife and ask her to make it for you."

This made the aunt roll her eyes at Yi Zhonghai. It's not you who cooks, that's easier said than done, she still has to do it.

It’s a business that requires good talking skills.

Now that we have had enough wine and food, it is time to talk business, right? Yi Zhonghai asked, "Why are you coming to my house so late at night?"

Jia Dongxu slapped his head and looked at him. He forgot everything as soon as he saw food.

I just remembered that my family is still waiting for me. It has been more than half an hour. His mother must be angry.

Then he said, "Master, there is no rice at home."

What does this mean? It was only a few days ago that they took it away, and it was 10 kilograms of flour. How come it is gone again? Even if it is a pig, it can't eat so fast.

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled, and then he asked his apprentice, "What do you do every day? We can see it in the yard. It's impossible to run out of money so quickly."

Indeed, both families are in the central courtyard, and the situation of the apprentice's home can be seen from the house. How could this guy be gone? Would the apprentice sell the things he gave him?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Dongxu, some things can be done, and some things should not be done.

Master knows that you have a heavy burden, but you can’t do this anymore.”

Jia Dongxu didn't understand and asked in confusion, "Master, what did I do? Didn't I just come to borrow some food?"

This disciple is still stubborn, isn't he? He's even lying.

Since you are still stubborn and refuse to tell the truth, Yi Zhonghai asked directly, "What are you doing? How can you eat so fast?

Tell Master whether you sold the food we gave you on the black market."

Oh my god, how did the master think of that? Jia Dongxu hadn't even thought about that. His family didn't have enough food, so he went out to sell it. Isn't that crazy?

I denied it immediately. I couldn't let my master misunderstand me.

"How dare I, Master? Even if you give me 100 guts, I still wouldn't dare. You really think too highly of me."

"Then where did all the food go?" Yi Zhonghai decided to get to the bottom of it.

Otherwise, if this apprentice comes to borrow food in a few days, who can afford it?

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to tell the truth. When Yi Zhonghai heard it, he didn't expect that Jia Zhang, who was so unreasonable, actually had a weakness.

It's also someone who doesn't take me seriously, but I just don't know it.

"Dongxu, you have to take good care of your mother, if your uncle comes next time, he will give it to you again.

You can't even afford mountains of gold and silver."

Jia Dongxu nodded quickly. Yes, of course he had to listen to his master's words.

Then he looked at Yi Zhonghai pitifully and said,

Then Master, today's food."

Yi Zhonghai: "Okay, yours is indispensable."

Then he said to the aunt, "Give Dongxu the white flour we just bought."

That's good too. She also plans to use it to make some white flour buns.

In the end, he gave it away directly. How could this husband be so generous? Is it because he is too stingy with money or something?

The thing is in hand, but it's still standing there.

Yi Zhonghai: "Let's go quickly. Aren't people waiting for dinner at home?"

Jia Dongxu, I actually have other ideas.

"Master, the advice you gave me last time was very good.

But before, Liu Haizhong was the boss and he didn’t help our family. Aren’t you the one who’s in power again this time?

Can you help us?"

As soon as his disciple said this, Yi Zhonghai felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

The last time he came up with the idea of ​​asking the entire hospital to donate money, he wanted to embarrass Liu Haizhong.

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong and the others did not accept the challenge.

There was no whole-school meeting at all, and well, he finally understood it.

No one in the courtyard has a good impression of the Jia family, especially Jia Zhang.

When Liu Haizhong refused, didn't many people applaud? They thought Liu Haizhong did a good job.

If he held a meeting of the entire institute as soon as he took office, his prestige in the institute would be greatly reduced.

And it is really unnecessary for Jia Zhang.

No matter how good you are to her, she will not be grateful. She is only doing it for Dongxu's sake, otherwise who would care about her life or death.

I wonder when his apprentice will mature enough to control his mother.

Now it seems that there is still a long way to go, and then he said to Jia Dongxu,

"You're talking about that matter, forget it. Anyway, when you go home, ask your mother to stop interfering in your uncle's affairs.

Then, it’s better for you to keep the money yourself and not give it to your mother, do you understand?

Otherwise, I see there is nothing left in your house, do you understand?"

When Jia Dongxu saw that his master had no intention of holding a meeting for the entire academy, he was indeed disappointed.

Then he said to Yi Zhonghai, "Okay, Master, I got it. I'll go back if it's okay."

……

"Why did you come back just now? We have finished our meal." Jia Zhang started to scold her son as soon as she saw him. He really did come back after they had finished their meal.

She didn't get to eat any good food, so she went forward and took a look. This white flour was really good.

He ordered Qin Huairu,

"Let's make noodles tomorrow, okay? Use white flour and make it nice for me."

Afterwards, he ignored Jia Dongxu and went straight back to his room to lie down without asking his son whether he had eaten or not.
