Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

A crowd watched Yi Zhonghai enter the middle courtyard and whispered to each other. Someone muttered, "Do you think what Yi Zhonghai said is true?"

Wang Cui'e shook her head and said, "I don't think so. Yi Zhonghai has always been a man of deep thoughts. He may say so, but he may not mean it in his heart."

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this. Grandma Zhang came out and said, "Okay, let's go. Even if Yi Zhonghai has some thoughts, he is not a master anymore."

Everyone thought about it and realized that Yi Zhonghai was no longer a big boss, so there was nothing for them to be afraid of. So they all went home.

Yi Zhonghai was supported by Aunt Yi and Qin Huairu and returned home. Aunt Yi quickly poured a glass of water for Yi Zhonghai and said, "Zhonghai, drink some water first, then take a shower and have a good sleep. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Okay."

Qin Huairu also smiled and said, "Then Uncle Yi, you should have a good rest. I won't disturb you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai waved his hands and said, "Huai Ru, I am not Uncle Yi. Call me Uncle Yi from now on."

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly and said, "I know, Master Yi."

After Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai went to wash up. After washing up, he said to Aunt Yi: "My dear, I have thought it through. Let's adopt a child."

Auntie Yi was startled when she heard this. She had said this before, but Yi Zhonghai refused to agree, saying what if he raised an ungrateful person. Now she had figured it out for some reason, so she asked, "Old Yi, have you figured it out?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "What can we do if we don't want to communicate? Then we will continue to fight with the Lin family and fight to the death? If the child we adopt is an ungrateful person, that's our fate, but we have to be more discerning when choosing a child."

Auntie Yi was delighted when she heard this and said, "Okay, then let's adopt one. As long as we are sincere to him, why should we be afraid that he won't provide for us in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai felt relieved after saying this, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take a nap first, and I'll ask about the child tomorrow."

Middle courtyard, Jia's house.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu coming back, she rolled her eyes and said, "Huairu, Yi Zhonghai is not the master anymore, is there any need for you to be so attentive?"

Qin Huairu heard this and said angrily: "Mom, even if Yi Zhonghai is not the first uncle, he helped us a lot in the past. Besides, Yi Zhonghai still has two rooms in the middle courtyard. Now Shazhu's house is not available. Yi Zhonghai is our only hope. Do you think I can't be attentive to him?"

However, Qin Huairu didn’t know that Yi Zhonghai had already thought it through and was planning to adopt a child to take care of him in his old age. If she knew, she would definitely be panicked.

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "Yes, how could I have forgotten this? Isn't the deaf old lady being taken care of by Yi Zhonghai? Then let the deaf old lady give the house in the backyard to our Banggeng. Then it will be easy for our Banggeng to find a wife, right?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said with a wry smile, "Mom, we may still be able to get Yi Zhonghai's house. The only price we have to pay is that Bang Geng promises to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age. As for the deaf old lady's house, forget it. Her house will definitely be left to Sha Zhu in the future."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she stiffened her neck and said, "Why? She needs Yi Zhonghai to take care of her. Why should she leave the house to Sha Zhu?"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and said, "The deaf old lady treats Sha Zhu as her own grandson. If the house dealer doesn't leave it to Sha Zhu, will he leave it to Bang Geng? You should know that the deaf old lady doesn't think highly of our family."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's face turned ugly and she said, "No wonder the deaf old lady has no family left. It's all because of her lack of moral integrity."

Back cover room.

The entire Lin family was in the main hall. Lin Shanhai frowned and said, "Now that Yi Zhonghai is back, I'm afraid our courtyard will be in turmoil again."

As the son-in-law, Nan Yi didn't understand the situation and just stood aside without saying a word. Lin Yun whispered to him about the grudge between the Lin family and Yi Zhonghai.

Wang Xiuzhi frowned and said, "Shanhai, I think Yi Zhonghai has changed a lot. Maybe he has really reformed. Why do you worry so much?"

Lin Shanhai shook his head and said, "Don't you know that it is difficult to change a person's nature? Although Yi Zhonghai has learned a lot in prison, it is only because of a temporary change in circumstances. Sooner or later, he will return to his old ways."

Wang Xiuzhi remained silent upon hearing this, because she felt that what Lin Shanhai said made sense.

Lin Ping placed his precious daughter in Lin Qingya's hands and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, why are you worrying about these things? Yi Zhonghai was a big shot before and he couldn't do anything to us, not to mention that he is now an unemployed vagrant. I don't believe he can still make trouble."

Everyone came to their senses immediately after hearing this. Lin Ping was right. With Lin Ping around, Yi Zhonghai really couldn't make any waves. Lin Shanhai smiled and said, "I was overthinking."

The next morning.

Yi Zhonghai came to the door and stretched, secretly sighing that it was better to be at home, as prison was not a place for people to stay.

At this time, Auntie Yi poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "Old Yi, it's time to eat."

After washing up, he sat down at the table. In order to welcome Yi Zhonghai, Aunt Yi went out to buy meat before dawn and prepared a good meal for Yi Zhonghai at noon to nourish his body.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the simple breakfast, smiled, picked up a steamed bun made of two grains of flour and started to eat it, it tasted so sweet.

Auntie Yi felt sad when she saw Yi Zhonghai wolfing down his food. She didn't know how much suffering Old Yi had endured in there. She said in a low voice, "Old Yi, I'll stew some meat for you to nourish your body at noon."

Yi Zhonghai was also greedy, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I am really greedy, you don't know that there is no meat in there."

Seeing that Aunt Yi was about to cry again, Yi Zhonghai advised: "Okay, it's all in the past, let's live a good life from now on."

Auntie Yi nodded and choked up, "Okay."

After breakfast, Yi Zhonghai stood up and said, "I'm going to the steel mill to see if I can find a job. Otherwise, we'll just be living off our savings."

Auntie Yi hesitated when she heard this and said, "Old Yi, you were fired. How can the steel mill still want you?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "You don't know this. The steel mill is in need of senior technicians, and I am an eighth-level worker. I think Director Yang wants me to go back. Even if the steel mill doesn't accept me, how can I worry about not being able to find a job with my skills?"

What Yi Zhonghai said was true. It is indeed difficult to find level 8 workers, and Director Yang would not refuse Yi Zhonghai.

Auntie Yi nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and get busy first, and remember to come back for lunch."

Yi Zhonghai patted Aunt Yi on the shoulder and said, "Okay."

The entrance of the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai said to the security guard: "Comrade, I'm looking for Director Yang."

Of course the security guard knew the few eighth-level workers in the factory, and he did not make it difficult for Yi Zhonghai to run to the security room to call Director Yang.

Not long after, the security guard returned to the door and said, "Go in, Director Yang is waiting for you in the office."

After thanking him, Yi Zhonghai turned around and went into the factory. He walked to Director Yang’s office with ease and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Yi Zhonghai heard the voice, pushed the door open and said, "Director Yang."

Director Yang enthusiastically asked Yi Zhonghai to sit down, poured him a glass of water and said, "Master Yi, when did you come back?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and said, "Director Yang, I was released early because my sentence was reduced by six months. You also know that I can't be without a job after being released from prison, so you came to ask me if I can still go back to the steel mill?"

Director Yang is having a headache because of the lack of skilled workers. The Russians have withdrawn all technical support and the steel rolling mill is now in a very difficult situation. If Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, could come back, it would be a great help to him.

But I can't just let Yi Zhonghai come back, otherwise how can he be grateful to me? So he smiled and said, "Master Yi, you know you were fired. If I recruit you again, I will be under a lot of pressure. But with our friendship over the years, I can't be unreasonable. And you really supported me at the beginning, so I will make an exception and call you back to the steel rolling mill, but you have to start from the beginning. Of course, I will arrange for you to take the technical assessment. With your skills, you will soon be able to resume the eighth-level worker treatment."

Although Yi Zhonghai had known this would happen, he couldn't help but smile with gratitude and said, "Thank you, thank you Director Yang. I will work hard under the leadership of Director Yang and make contributions to our steel mill."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang laughed and said, "Okay, Master Yi, I will take you to the job registration now, and I will definitely sign you up for the technical assessment next year."

In this way, Yi Zhonghai returned to work in the steel rolling mill and became an ordinary regular worker there.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard happily. As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, he saw many people gathered at his door. He rushed in and was immediately furious. He saw Aunt Yi lying on the ground with blood on her head.

Jia Zhang was standing by Bang Geng's side, looking at Aunt Yi with a gloomy face. Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to help Aunt Yi up and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Auntie Yi covered her bleeding forehead and said, "Old Yi, didn't I buy some meat to nourish your body? Just now, Banggeng came over to ask for meat, but I refused. The boy stretched out his hand to grab it, and I stopped him. He pushed me on the forehead and it hit the stove. I chased him out to ask for an explanation, and Jia Zhang helped Banggeng push me. I was pushed accidentally, and you came back at this time."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang with a gloomy expression and asked, "Jia Zhang, is what my wife said true?"

Yi Zhonghai's influence was still there, so Jia Zhang was a little flustered and said, "I saw that she was holding on to my stick, and I was afraid that she would hit my stick, so I pushed her gently. I didn't mean it."

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Bang Geng and asked, "Why did you push your grandmother?"

Banggeng was protected by Jia Zhangshi and was very brave. She stuck out her neck and said, "Who told her to eat meat and not give me meat? My grandmother said that you need me to support you in your old age. If you don't give me meat, I won't support you in your old age."

Yi Zhonghai was furious when he heard this. This was the person he had chosen to take care of the elderly? This person was simply an ungrateful person. It would be foolish to expect him to take care of the elderly in the future. So he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai not saying anything, Banggeng thought that Yi Zhonghai was afraid that he would not provide for his old age, so he said proudly, "Your family is extinct. If I don't provide for your old age, you will all starve to death in the future. Hurry up and bring me the meat."

Seeing Banggeng's smug look, Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear it anymore and slapped him in the face. With a loud slap, Banggeng was so stunned that he even forgot to cry.
