Siheyuan: The rise and fall of the He family is our responsibility

"Mom, we can't do this. This is not the way to save money. If we do something too shabby and anger the master, and he gets angry and refuses to acknowledge us as our relative, then we will suffer a huge loss.

Good steel should be spent on the blade. If we make him happy now, can't we divide the property when he dies in the future?

Besides, if we set up a few more tables now, no one will say anything when we divide the family property in the future. After all, they all saw with their own eyes that the master recognized me as his godson, so the moral obligation is on our side."

"........my son is right. Mom almost made a big mistake. So, let's set up ten tables for the banquet and let them see the generosity of our Jia family." After thinking it over, Jia Zhang finally agreed with her son's words. The money for the banquet should be regarded as an investment, and she must get it back double from Yi Zhonghai in the future.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai did not know that the mother and son of the Jia family were really racking their brains to plot against him. At this moment, he was enduring the anger of his wife.

"Old Yi, are you getting old and confused? Can't you see the moral character of the Jia family? Aren't you asking for trouble by making Jia Dongxu your godson?"

Facing the aunt's questioning, Yi Zhonghai calmly drank a sip of tea after dinner and said, "My dear, calm down. Do you think I can't see what Jia Dongxu is thinking?

He came to me as his godfather not to find a backer, but to find a meal ticket. If I accept him as my godson, I guess our family property will belong to the Jia family in the future. "

"Ah, since you know his purpose, why did you accept him as your godson?" The aunt was puzzled. Yi Zhonghai was obviously not stupid, so why did he let Jia Dongxu get what he wanted?

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do. We can't take these belongings with us anyway. Since Jia Dongxu wants them, let's just take what we need."

The aunt also understood what Yi Zhonghai said, lowered her head and said self-reproachfully: "It's all my fault that I didn't live up to my expectations and didn't leave you a son or daughter. If I had been more motivated, our family wouldn't have ended up like this."

"I don't blame you. I was already very satisfied that you were willing to break up with your family and marry a poor man like me." Yi Zhonghai held the aunt's hand and said gently:

"Besides, Dongxu is still young, I may be able to bring him back to the right path. Even if I fail in the end, don't I still have Zhuzi as a backup candidate? It's just that Zhuzi is a little resistant to me for some reason, so I can only agree to Dongxu first."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Auntie said hesitantly: "Old Yi, I heard that now as long as the couple agrees, they can get a divorce. Anyway, you are still young, otherwise......"

"Liu Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? When you eloped with me, I told you that I would love you and treat you well for the rest of my life. Don't say such discouraging words anymore. Do you hear me?"

The lady nodded, feeling lost and touched, and choked up, saying, "My dear, I will listen to you."

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, unable to fall asleep.

He turned his head to look at his sleeping partner, and a hint of true tenderness flashed in his eyes, which had always been full of disguise and pretense.

How could Yi Zhonghai not know that the best way to solve the problem was to divorce his wife and then find a new wife.

After all, I am still young, only in my forties, in the prime of my life, and I am also a top-notch skilled worker in the steel mill.

As long as Yi Zhonghai wanted, he could divorce his aunt and marry a young and capable virgin girl. And people around him wouldn't say anything.

In this era, people generally believe that marrying a wife is for having children. Why marry a wife if she can't have children?

In addition, the fact that he has not divorced his wife for so many years is enough to show his loyalty and loyalty.

But Yi Zhonghai would never do that, even if he died. He would rather spend a lot of time and effort to scheme and deceive others than divorce his partner.

Ever since the son of a tenant farmer was about to starve to death and was given a bowl of rice by the daughter of the wealthy master, he decided to protect her.

From the moment she went against everyone's opinion and forced her father to send her, a farmer's son, to a factory in the city to learn a skill, he decided that he would not marry anyone else in this life.

From the night her father tried to force her to marry and she refused, and came to him in the middle of the night to elope with him, he decided that no matter what happened, he would never abandon her in this life.

The two of them came to the old city with nothing. It was only after she pawned the jewelry her mother left her before her death that this young couple, who had no one to support them, had a place to stay.

He had thought of various scenarios, including Jia Dongxu helping them in their old age, and He Yuzhu helping them in their old age. Even if both of them betrayed him and left them alone for the rest of their lives, he had never thought of divorcing his partner.

So his plan now is to stabilize Jia Dongxu by adopting him as his godchild and to provide himself with a safety net.

Then see if you can find He Yuzhu's reason for resisting him, and then improve their relationship step by step. As long as you trap He Yuzhu, he will gradually abandon Jia Dongxu.

After all, after observing for these days, He Yuzhu is the perfect candidate for their elderly care. He is promising and filial. He is far better than Jia Dongxu. If He Yuzhu is willing to take care of them in their old age, then their future life in old age will be completely secure.

At this time, He Yuzhu didn't know that even though he showed his disrespect to Yi Zhonghai like this, Yi Zhonghai was still unwilling to let him go.

After leaving the courtyard, He Yuzhu did not return to Taifeng Tower, but ran to a jungle not far from Sijiu City to practice boxing.

Take out the prepared wild boar meat and take a big bite to replenish your body with the necessary nutrients.

Then he began to practice according to the moves in the boxing manual.

"Iron Mountain Damn!"

"Subdue the dragon! Subdue the tiger!"

"The tiger climbs the mountain hard!"

................

With the supplement of wild boar meat, He Yuzhu felt more confident when practicing. He didn't have to worry about losing strength and could use all his body's strength to practice.

As mentioned before, Bajiquan is a close-combat martial art. Unlike Wing Chun, which is also a close-combat martial art, Wing Chun has three hands for defense and blocking: spread, shoulder and crouch.

Bajiquan implements the concept of attacking without defending. It means getting close to the enemy, using every part of the body as a weapon, and attacking the opponent with every flaw he reveals.

By daybreak, the thick wood as big as a bowl that He Yuzhu had used as a practice object was already riddled with holes and was on the verge of falling apart.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's go back." He Yuzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, identified the direction, and ran towards Sijiu City.

After he left, the big tree finally couldn't bear the damage and fell to the ground with a loud bang!
