When Yi Zhonghai and his wife were discussing in the house, they did not notice that Jia Zhang was eavesdropping under the window outside. Originally, Jia Zhang came to Yi Zhonghai's house to eavesdrop. The words of the new director Wang made Jia Zhang feel a sense of crisis. She didn't know where this feeling came from, but driven by instinct, Jia Zhang came to Yi Zhonghai's house to eavesdrop. It didn't matter that she eavesdropped, but she heard directly that Yi Zhonghai and his wife wanted to adopt a child. When Jia Zhang heard it, she became anxious, and ran back home while the two people in the house were not paying attention.

He slammed the door shut and said to Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, "Dongxu, Huairu, something bad is happening. Something serious is going to happen."

Jia Zhang's shout startled Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu in the room. Jia Dongxu was caressing Qin Huairu's belly and he almost touched her. Jia Dongxu turned around and said to Jia Zhang in dissatisfaction, "Mom, what's wrong? You scared me and almost touched Huairu."

Jia Zhang was too fat, and she was already out of breath after running home from Yi Zhonghai's house. Jia Zhang sat down on a stool and said while panting, "Dongxu... Huairu... It's not good..."

"Mom, Huairu and I are fine, don't talk nonsense. Don't be anxious. Drink some water and catch your breath first." Jia Dongxu said as he poured a glass of water for Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang drank the glass of water in a gulp, took a breath and continued, "I just wanted to go to Yi Zhonghai's house to ask something, but I heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to adopt a child. How could he adopt a child if the extinct family wanted to adopt a child?"

Before Jia Dongxu could react, he said casually, "Just adopt it. My master and his wife don't have any children either. Wouldn't it be easier if we adopt them? Wouldn't it be easier if we have someone to rely on and take care of them in their old age?"

Qin Huairu couldn't listen any more, patted Jia Dongxu and said to him: "Dongxu, don't forget, you and the first uncle are sworn brothers, what does it mean that the first uncle wants to adopt a child at this time? Isn't it obvious that you, Jia Dongxu, are unfilial? Otherwise, why would he adopt a child? Besides, if the first uncle adopts a child, will you still have a share of his property after he dies?"

Jia Dongxu finally reacted and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, what should we do? How could my master do this?"

Jia Zhang said, "Why don't we go to his house and make a scene now? He wants to adopt a child? That's impossible. His things will all belong to Dongxu from now on." After saying that, Jia Zhang was about to get up and leave.

"Dongxu, quickly hold mom!" Qin Huairu shouted quickly.

Jia Dongxu also obeyed and grabbed Jia Zhangshi, who shouted, "Don't hold me, I'm going to scold that damned family. Why should he adopt a child after recognizing his godparents as our Dongxu? I don't agree!"

Qin Huairu quickly said, "Mom, please keep your voice down and listen to me."

Jia Zhang also knew that her daughter-in-law was a powerful person, so she stopped struggling and sat back on the stool, listening to Qin Huairu's explanation.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, you can't go there like this. Think about it. What would you say? Just say that you don't want Uncle Yi to adopt the child? If Uncle Yi asks you how you knew that, what would you say? Are you worried that their family treats Dongxu badly, so you went there to eavesdrop? Not only will this not stop Uncle Yi from adopting the child, it will also strengthen his confidence in adopting the child."

Jia Zhang was stunned by these words and couldn't help asking, "Huai Ru, what do you think we should do? Yi Jue Hu will go to the street office to ask tomorrow, so we should hurry up."

Qin Huairu thought for a while and said, "Mom, there's no need to do anything else. Dongxu and I can just go to Uncle Yi's house and stay for a while. Uncle Yi just can't get over it. When we go over there and let Dongxu chat with Uncle Yi, Uncle Yi will regret it. Don't worry, just listen to me!"

Jia Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. If it doesn't work, I'll go and make a scene and make him give in."

Qin Huairu smiled and turned to Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, you don't need to say anything else when you get there. Just say you're here to see the old man and tell him not to take Director Wang's words to heart. You will take care of them until the end of their lives. You don't need to say anything else."

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "I understand."

Qin Huairu then said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, no matter what, don't make trouble for the uncle today. Let's calm him down. As long as we calm him down today, everything will be fine tomorrow. Believe me."

Jia Zhang had no choice but to nod and agree.

Qin Huairu got up and went to Yi Zhonghai's house with Jia Dongxu. They knocked on the door and went in without saying anything else. They just went over to chat as Qin Huairu said. After repeating what he had just said, the two said goodbye and left.

After Jia Dongxu and his wife left, Yi Zhonghai fell silent again. Aunt Yi sighed when she saw Yi Zhonghai's expression. She knew Yi Zhonghai too well. The adoption of the child was a failure. Rather than saying that the deaf old lady in the backyard didn't allow the two to adopt the child, it was better to say that Yi Zhonghai didn't want to adopt the child. To put it bluntly, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to pay and was afraid of raising an ungrateful person. After all, the example of Old Zhu in the next yard was there.

While Aunt Yi was thinking, Yi Zhonghai spoke up, "Old lady, I think we should forget about adopting a child. Look how good Dongxu is. We can rely on him for our old age. And Qin Huairu takes good care of the family. She can even stand Jia Zhang's condition. I think we should still take care of Qin Huairu in the future. What do you think?"

Aunt Yi looked at Yi Zhonghai for a long time and replied: "It's okay if you think it's okay. Anyway, my body is definitely ahead of yours. Alas, it's all my fault that I didn't give you a child!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't say any words of comfort this time, but just stared at the door, as if he saw through something.

The next morning, Jia Zhang was staring at Yi Zhonghai's house from behind the window until Yi Zhonghai went out to work and asked Jia Dongxu to go to work. Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, you are so right. Yi Zhonghai really went to work with Dongxu."

Qin Huairu smiled and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, don't you know the eldest uncle? On the surface, he looks righteous, but he is going crazy over taking care of his parents. Besides, what happened to old man Zhu next door two years ago made him even more afraid to adopt a child. The most important point is that he has invested too much in our family, and he is unwilling to give up, so he can only go down this path to the end."

Jia Zhang nodded and replied, "You are right, haha... Sooner or later, the property of Yi Zhonghai's family will belong to our Jia family."
