Siheyuan: My Golden Finger is updated weekly

"Who has it easy these days? Even a clay Buddha can't save himself when crossing the river." Yi Zhonghai said.

An old lady sighed: "Yes, it's not easy, but there are still some who are doing well, like you, Lao Liu, a little bit leaked through your fingers..."

Yi Zhonghai interrupted, "Wife, it's not that I'm cruel. It's that if I leak a little from my fingers, it can improve Li Meng's life. But if you leak this month, will you leak next month? What about the month after that?"

"Li Meng has a hard time this year, and it will be just as hard next year, and it will only get harder and harder. That child will drag him down and make his life worse day by day."

"Why should we adopt a child? As you said, why don't we just adopt Li Meng as our godson and let him take care of us in our old age?"

The auntie heard this and said, "I think it's okay. Mengzi is a good kid and he knows how to repay his kindness. If we treat him well..."

Yi Zhonghai's face sank: "Are you serious? Dongxu is enough for us, and I have already put a lot of thought into Dongxu. I don't have the experience to care about Li Meng anymore. Besides, no matter how good Li Meng is, he can't compare to Dongxu."

He has already identified Jia Dongxu.

It is because Jia Dongxu is foolishly loyal and filial that he is like this to his mother Jia Zhang, and also like this to his master.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, no matter how good a person's nature is, it is inevitable that it will change over time.

But Jia Dongxu's character of blind loyalty and filial piety was cultivated by Jia Zhang since he was a child, and it is in his bones. Since Jia Dongxu has chosen him as his master, as long as he treats him well, he will definitely be able to take care of himself when he is old.

Now that he already has a foolproof pensioner, he doesn't want to invest in other people.

"Is this really not negotiable?"

"No discussion." Yi Zhonghai said: "If I come forward to organize everyone, the neighbors will help, but I will be a bad guy. Who is willing to give things to others? It's not worth being a bad guy for Li Meng."

"Harmful."

The old lady shook her head and wanted to say something, but finally stopped.

She always felt that her husband was too calculating, and she was really afraid that all his calculations would be in vain.

But how could she dare to say this?

......

Front yard, Lao Yan’s house.

"Boss, what did Li Meng discuss when he went to the Jia family?" asked the third aunt.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Need I say that? It must be about the baby's milk. In our courtyard, the only one who has milk now is Qin Huairu."

"That's right, then do you think the Jia family will agree?"

"Yes." Yan Bugui said, "Ms. Jia Zhang is so greedy for money. As long as the money is in place, feeding the child is nothing. I'm just afraid that she will ask for too much. After all, if it were me, I would definitely ask Li Meng for more money."

After taking a sip of tea, Yan Bugui spat out the tea foam and said with a turn of his eyes: "This is an opportunity to make money... Then Li Meng has to feed his child, and he has to find someone to take care of the child for him."

Auntie San was curious and asked, "Didn't he say he wanted to buy a tricycle? He would need someone to take care of the child if he took him with him?"

"Just listen to his boast." Yan Bugui said, "There are no secrets in the compound. His parents left him a little over a hundred dollars to buy a tricycle. That's nonsense."

"But he can rent a tricycle." said the third aunt.

"You are confused, aren't you?" Yan Bugui said, "It's the coldest time of winter. Even if he rents a tricycle and takes the child around the city to be exposed to the cold wind, can a child of that age bear it?"
