Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

Chapter 143 Yi Zhonghai is Alone

Jia Zhang refused to accept the money from He Daqing, not because she remembered He Daqing's frequent secret help, but because Jia Zhang was a very cunning and selfish person.

During the years that Qin Huairu worked in the steel rolling mill, she handed over ten yuan of pension to her every month without fail. The daily expenses of the Jia family were all managed by Qin Huairu, so she had saved a lot of money.

Today, if she took He Daqing's money and used it to buy meat to bring back to the Jia family, how much would she be able to eat? Besides, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru both came from rural areas on the outskirts of the city. With their cooking skills, the food they made could basically only be considered cooked, and there was no way they could have "color, fragrance and taste".

Or, Jia Zhang took the money given by He Daqing and went out to secretly provide for her family. The only things available on the streets were meat buns and stewed dishes. Ordinary small restaurants could not compare with He Daqing's cooking skills.

The Jia family lived such a hard life, but Jia Zhangshi was still able to maintain her plump figure. She had long been secretly tired of eating meat buns and stewed food on the street. Therefore, Jia Zhangshi was unwilling to accept the money from He Daqing, and asked for the meat dishes made by He Daqing.

He Daqing was also a man who cared about his reputation. When he saw that Jia Zhangshi did not take any money but asked for food, he agreed without thinking and promised Jia Zhangshi: In the future, when the He family had a lot of meat and vegetables, he would secretly send some to her.

Jia Zhang received He Daqing's approval and happily carried a bowl of meat and vegetables into the backyard. She was tactful and knew that Li Cuilan didn't like her, so she didn't dare to step into the He family's house. Seeing that there was no one in the pavilion, she sat in the pavilion, wiped her hands on her clothes, and started eating the meat and vegetables.

After a short while, Jia Zhang finished eating the meat and dishes, licked her fingers clean, burped, returned the bowl to He Daqing, said thank you, and hurriedly left the backyard.

Over the years, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru have caused a lot of gossip, so how could He Daqing not know what kind of person Qin Huairu is? Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was so clear about life, he looked at her leaving back and muttered: "Look at me, why am I worrying so much! This old lady is so clear about life..."

The commotion in the courtyard, the old neighbors were all trying to comfort Jia Zhang, how could Yi Zhonghai not know about it. But the Jia family had made him take medicine too many times, and he had suffered enough from the Jia family, so he was watching how the situation would develop. If the Jia family was cheating and deceiving again, he would pretend that he knew nothing.

After the nap time, Yi Zhonghai didn't notice anything unusual in the courtyard, so he walked towards the central courtyard with confidence and saw Jia Zhang wearing reading glasses and sewing cloth shoes like she did when she was young.

Seeing that Jia Zhang lived quietly in her own world, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but be touched by the softness in his heart. Scenes from the past kept appearing in his mind like a movie.

As the saying goes, "When people are unhappy, they will keep recalling their good past." At this time, Yi Zhonghai's life in his later years was not satisfactory, and he felt that he was not as good as Jia Zhang.

In Yi Zhonghai's view, it doesn't matter whether Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua are Jia Dongxu's children or whether they are from the Jia family.

What he valued was that although Jia Zhang was so old, her words were still final in the Jia family. As long as Jia Zhang yelled at her one day, everyone in the Jia family, from the young to the old, would listen to her orders obediently.

What Yi Zhonghai envied the most was that the Jia family had so many children, no matter they were disabled or healthy, no matter they were naughty or secretly doing bad things, they all lived wholeheartedly under the eyes of Jia Zhang.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai was a well-known figure in the steel rolling mill and the courtyard house back then. The salary of a level 8 worker was higher than that of the director of the steel rolling mill. Wherever he went back then, although he was treated like a star, anyone who saw him would disrespectfully call him Master Yi or Worker Yi. What's worse, some people would rack their brains to find ways to get close to him.

But since he helped the middle-aged couple~Bai Dongmei solve the employment problems of their two sons Yi Yulong and Yi Yuma, helped them find ways to become formal employees of the machinery factory and the cotton mill, helped them solve the housing problem, helped them get married and have children... Bai Dongmei moved to live with his sons, saying that he was going to help his son take care of the children.

At first, on weekends, Bai Dongmei would return to the Yi family's courtyard on time to help with housework, cook for Yi Zhonghai, and comfortably make Yi Zhonghai happy.

But after Yi Zhonghai retired, his income dropped sharply and he was not as generous as before. Bai Dongmei used the excuse that she had to take care of her two sons' children and was too busy to do anything else, so she returned to the courtyard less and less often.

Once, during the holidays, Bai Dongmei's two sons would bring large and small bags of things to him, and would rush to invite Yi Zhonghai to their place to eat, drink and celebrate the holidays.

As Yi Zhonghai grew older, Bai Dongmei simply stopped returning to the Yi family's courtyard during the holidays; her two sons, Yi Yulong and Yi Yuma, were not as enthusiastic and capable as before, and sometimes they could not even see each other during the New Year.

The only thing that made Yi Zhonghai feel relieved was that no matter Bai Dongmei's two sons or those grandchildren, they all had the surname Yi. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai, who was very concerned about his reputation, tolerated Bai Dongmei and her two sons Yi Yulong and Yi Yuma generously for the sake of the false reputation that the old Yi family was not extinct and had many descendants...

Yi Zhonghai knew that Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua were all bastards born to Qin Huairu and her husband. He looked at Jia Zhang, who also had no biological children, and felt a sense of frustration and loneliness. He stood not far from Jia Zhang for a long time, lost in thought.

Jia Zhang had no idea what was going on in Yi Zhonghai's mind. When she saw that Yi Zhonghai, the fat sheep, had finally appeared before her, she knew she would never miss such a good opportunity.

Jia Zhang put down her needlework, rushed to Yi Zhonghai, pulled Yi Zhonghai's sleeve and cried, "How can I become a widow at such a young age? How can I raise Jia Dongxu with so much hardship? How can I lose my son in middle age? How can I watch the Jia family fall apart in my old age..."

It was truly "a story that moved everyone to tears". When Yi Zhonghai was young, he had a deep friendship with Jia Zhang. Listening to Jia Zhang's complaints about her misfortune, he thought of his own lonely and helpless old age.

The misfortunes described by Mrs. Jia Zhang seemed to resonate with him, and Yi Zhonghai's tears fell silently.

Jia Zhangshi performed the sad drama so hard in order to gain some real benefits, but she had no time to watch Yi Zhonghai wiping tears. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai still had no reaction, she immediately stopped crying and comforted Yi Zhonghai in a strong tone: "Master Dongxu, don't be sad, don't worry about me, I'm fine..."

Yi Zhonghai knew that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves, bit his lips a few times, reached into his pocket, took out a few big black coins, and handed them to Jia Zhangshi. At the same time, he comforted her, "Dongxu's mother, take this money. We are all old, and we should be more open-minded when encountering things. It is not worth it to have a broken body..."

Jia Zhang received the benefit and said polite words repeatedly, but she was actually looking down on him in her heart: "Humph, Yi Jue Hu is all alone. If he gets sick, there really is no one to take care of him..."
