Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

He Yuzhu, also known as Shazhu, stood in front of his house, crossed his arms, and rejected Yi Zhonghai's proposal with a firm look in his eyes. His tone was firm, without a trace of hesitation:

"Uncle, please stop trying to persuade me. I will definitely not agree to this. You know, the meat and vegetables here are not good things that I have every day. Even if I do have them, I have to save them for my wife to nourish her body."

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with an unquestionable light, as if he was fighting against some unspeakable pressure. Although his voice was not loud, every word was clear and powerful, revealing his unshakable determination.

Yi Zhonghai stood in front of He Yuzhu, with a complex expression on his face. He first frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with He Yuzhu's determination; then, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking his own powerlessness; finally, he sighed softly and turned to walk towards the Jia family.

When he turned around, a trace of disappointment and helplessness flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He shook his sleeves lightly, as if trying to shake off the heaviness in his heart. Although his steps were steady, they revealed a sense of loneliness and desolation.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's departing back, He Yuzhu did not feel any relief. He knew that his rejection of Yi Zhonghai's proposal would undoubtedly make the other party and the Jia family even more dissatisfied with him.

But he also knew that he could not sacrifice the interests of himself and his family to meet the expectations of others. He took a deep breath and turned back to his home.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai stepped into the Jia family's door, Jia Zhang came up to him eagerly, her face full of anticipation. She stared at Yi Zhonghai's hand, searching quickly, but did not see the expected lunch box. Although Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu did not ask directly, their eyes also revealed their desire for the result.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the three people's expectant eyes, sighed helplessly, shook his head gently, and said in a low voice: "Shazhu...directly refused. He said he would never agree to it, so you should give up this idea."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face suddenly darkened and she muttered in dissatisfaction: "Just now I patted my chest and promised that I could get it done, but now look, I still haven't gotten it done." Her tone was full of disappointment, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's failure.

Yi Zhonghai felt mixed emotions when listening to Jia Zhang's complaints. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, as if Jia Zhang's reproach had touched upon his inner thoughts.

He knew that his promise had not been fulfilled, and he understood Jia Zhang's dissatisfaction, but the feeling of being in a thankless position made him feel frustrated. His face gradually darkened, and he regretted meddling in the Jia family's affairs.

Jia Dongxu sensed the awkward atmosphere and felt nervous. He was worried that Yi Zhonghai would resent his family. So he quickly turned his attention to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu understood what she meant. She gently pulled Jia Zhang's sleeve and whispered in her ear. Jia Zhang wanted to continue complaining, but after hearing what Qin Huairu said, she opened her mouth and didn't say the rest. Although her expression was still very ugly, at least she didn't attack Yi Zhonghai again.

When Jia Dongxu saw that his mother was stopped by Qin Huairu, he felt relieved and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Master, thank you for your help. Food is precious now. It's normal that Shazhu doesn't give any food. It's okay for Banggeng to drink some rice soup." There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice, as if he was bowing to reality.

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Jia Dongxu said, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart. Although he was still dissatisfied with Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were still good. Seeing Jia Dongxu comforting him, he still felt a little relieved.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calmer: "Dongxu, I should have another milk powder ticket here, I'll bring it to you later. You buy a bag of milk powder first, and we'll figure out the rest later."

With that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Jia Dongxu stepped forward and respectfully escorted Yi Zhonghai out. His eyes were full of gratitude and respect. Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't have to be polite, and then walked out of the Jia family's door.

Qin Huairu stayed in the room, whispering to comfort Jia Zhang, who was still somewhat dissatisfied. Although she understood Jia Zhang's dissatisfaction and complaints, she knew that the most important thing now was to protect Yi Zhonghai, which was the only way to help her family.

After Yi Zhonghai returned home, he immediately said to the busy aunt, "I remember we still have a milk powder ticket at home. Find it out and give it to me. I will send it to Dongxu."

When the aunt heard that it was for Jia Dongxu, that is, for Banggeng, she immediately stopped what she was doing and stood up. She walked quickly to a drawer, opened it, searched carefully for a while, and finally found the milk powder ticket.

An old lady carefully took the milk powder ticket, walked to Yi Zhonghai and handed it to him. Her face was full of concern, and her eyes revealed her deep love for Banggeng. She urged: "Hurry up and send it to Dongxu, so that Banggeng won't cry because of hunger all the time."

Yi Zhonghai took the milk powder ticket and looked at the concerned look on the aunt's face. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Weren't you unhappy before because I helped Dongxu too much? Why are you so active today?"

The aunt was a little embarrassed by Yi Zhonghai's question. Her face turned slightly red and she rubbed her hands gently on her apron. She explained in a low voice: "I just feel sorry for Banggeng. I will help him if I can. Besides, won't we still have to rely on Dongxu and Banggeng for our retirement in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai listened to what the aunt said, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes. He knew that although the aunt sometimes complained, she was kind-hearted. He clenched the milk powder ticket in his hand, nodded to the aunt, and smiled: "I understand, I will send it to Dongxu right away."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left the house, heading towards the Jia family. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he was carrying a sense of responsibility and expectation.

After arriving at Jia's house, Yi Zhonghai directly handed the milk powder ticket to Jia Dongxu. He showed a concerned look on his face and said in a gentle tone: "You go buy milk powder now, I'll go back first. If you have any problems in the future, go to the master, and the master will find a way for you."

Jia Dongxu took the milk powder ticket and looked at Yi Zhonghai's concerned eyes with a gleam of gratitude in his eyes. He bowed deeply to Yi Zhonghai and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Master, you are so kind." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry, fearing that he would delay the time to buy milk powder.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little relieved watching Jia Dongxu's departing figure. He knew that the more grateful Jia Dongxu was, the more he would be able to provide for himself and his aunt when they were old.
