Siheyuan, my new life

Yi Zhonghai coughed dryly before continuing to explain: "Old lady, to be honest, I also want to beat up that bastard Yan Bugui, but he is still the third uncle who manages our No. 95 courtyard after all. At this time, as the first uncle who manages, I have to maintain the prestige of the uncle who manages. Otherwise, who in this courtyard will take us uncles who manages seriously in the future?"

The deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and stared at Yi Zhonghai, sneering disdainfully: "Yi Zhonghai, don't think that you can deceive me by pretending to be honest and loyal all day long. Although I don't know what you did before, based on my experience, you, Yi Zhonghai, definitely have lives on your hands, and not just one life. You are an absolutely selfish person in your bones. Don't say hypocritical words all day long and fool yourself. Don't think you are very powerful just because you have practiced farming for a few days. Let me tell you, this is Sijiu City, a Sijiu City with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Don't use your two tricks to embarrass yourself. Now tell me honestly, what's going on? What do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai's forehead was covered with sweat. He thought he was hiding very well, but he didn't expect that the old lady in front of him had seen through him. Yi Zhonghai suddenly recalled the scene of the deaf old lady wiping the gold that night. He couldn't help but shout out: "Old lady, did you deliberately fiddle with the gold in the house that night?"

The deaf old lady sneered disdainfully: "You, Yi Zhonghai, are not that stupid. If you dared to make the slightest move that night, the grass on your grave would be three feet high by now. Do you think I didn't notice you hiding outside the door? Let me tell you, a layer of flour has been sprinkled on the door, and your footprints, Yi Zhonghai, are clearly left at the door. Well, the old lady doesn't have time to go over the past with you, just tell me what you are going to do. I warn you, if you want to deceive me, the consequences will be at your own risk."

Yi Zhonghai was like a defeated rooster, telling his plan exactly as it was. Now only the deaf old lady could help him, otherwise when these things spread out tomorrow, not only would his good reputation that he had maintained for many years be ruined, but even his future work would be affected. Today, the Propaganda Department of the steel rolling mill announced that in the future, the skill level assessment of employees will not only test their skills, but also their personal ideology and morality. If there are problems with their ideology and morality, the factory will not promote their job level even if their skills are very high.

After telling the story of how he and Jia Zhang made dumplings, Yi Zhonghai said dejectedly: "If the old lady can't handle this matter properly tonight, and the news spreads to the steel mill tomorrow, I will most likely be expelled. The steel mill is now undergoing a major rectification and ideological and moral education. At this time, the steel mill will certainly have to take back the house I live in now, and Xiuqin and I will have to move out of this courtyard." Obviously, Yi Zhonghai's last sentence was also to remind the deaf old lady that if he was expelled from the steel mill, the couple would have to move out of Courtyard No. 95, and Xiuqin would not be able to continue to take care of the deaf old lady.

How could the deaf old lady not understand what Yi Zhonghai meant? She sneered and said, "Yi Zhonghai, it's already this time, and you are still trying to be clever with the old lady. You only talked about the mess with Jia Zhang, but you didn't mention a word about the good things you did with your good apprentice's wife? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. Do you think you and Qin Huairu, that slutty fox, went into the vegetable cellar in the middle of the night without being discovered? If the old lady hadn't suppressed you, do you think you would still be standing here now?"

Yi Zhonghai widened his eyes in surprise, he never thought that the old lady in front of him, who was buried up to her neck in the dirt, had everything under control. He shook his head bitterly and simply told Qin Huairu everything that happened between him and her.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady narrowed her eyes and sneered: "Yi Zhonghai, you claim to be smart, but have you ever doubted that Banggeng is not your son at all? Even the girl named Xiaodang is not your flesh and blood?"

Although Yi Zhonghai had been guessing in his heart, he couldn't admit it now, so he told Jia Dongxu that he had given the Decoction to Cut Off Sons and Grandchildren, and even told him that in order to prove the efficacy of the medicine, he secretly gave the medicine to Xu Fugui and Liu Haizhong. He also mentioned that if He Daqing had not had the intention of remarrying, he almost gave He Daqing the Decoction to Cut Off Sons and Grandchildren.

The deaf old lady silently looked at the guy in front of her, and sighed in her heart that he had such a cruel heart. It seemed that she could not let this guy go easily in the future, otherwise she would be nurturing a tiger to harm herself. If she really got the day to lie in bed, with Zhuzi's temper, how could he be a match for Yi Zhonghai, this hungry wolf?

Yi Zhonghai looked at the mysterious old lady with hopeful eyes.

The deaf old lady sighed softly and said, "Originally, I didn't want to talk about some things, but since you mentioned it today, I can't hide it from you anymore. You should remember that in the third year when you two lived in this courtyard, I took you two to see an old imperial physician from the palace, right?"

Hearing the words of the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened and an inexplicable sense of fear suddenly surged in his heart. He nodded involuntarily and continued to listen carefully to every word the deaf old lady said.

The deaf old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea before continuing, "According to the diagnosis of the old imperial physician, Xiuqin did catch a cold during her miscarriage, which will have some impact on her future fertility, but she will recover after taking Chinese medicine for a period of time. In fact, the one with the problem is you. Because you have frostbite below, you basically have no hope of having children in the future. In order to save your face, the old lady deliberately said in front of others that Xiuqin had a physical problem and it would be difficult for her to get pregnant for a while. Yi Zhonghai, you know everything now, right? Qin Huairu, that slutty fox, is just lying to you. It is impossible for her to get pregnant with your child. Since Jia Dongxu has lost his fertility, it means that Qin Huairu must have a wild man outside. I guess even the fact that you got drunk and slept with Qin Huairu was a trap designed by her family and that wild man."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt as if he had lost his parents. He slumped down in his chair helplessly, subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it tremblingly, and took a long puff.

What Yi Zhonghai didn't notice was that a hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the deaf old lady sitting next to him. Of course, she would not tell the truth. In fact, although Yi Zhonghai's lower body had suffered frostbite, it was not incurable. It's just that the deaf old lady gave him an extra dose of "fertility-destroying powder" in the medicine soup. This was a secret medicine that had been circulated from the palace. Its efficacy was absolutely foolproof. In order to have someone to serve her, the deaf old lady would never let Xiuqin get pregnant, so she simply gave Yi Zhonghai the "fertility-destroying powder".
