Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

"Old lady, old lady, I feel so sad. I have trained a candidate for my retirement for more than ten years, and he passed away before me? God is so unfair to me, old lady, why did he do this? I am not convinced. God, you are too biased." Yi Zhonghai cried to old lady Long with tears and snot. His heart was dead now.

He really regarded Jia Dongxu as his own son. Although there was a bit of calculation in this, the feelings he had given to him were real. Jia Dongxu died so suddenly, and he, as a master, was in great pain. It was like a sapling that he had carefully cultivated, but it suddenly withered. This feeling of loss and sadness was very uncomfortable.

Yi Zhonghai cried like a little child. Old Lady Long felt very uncomfortable watching Yi Zhonghai crying. She treated Yi Zhonghai like a mother treats her son. Although the old lady had some calculations, the relationship they had developed over the years was like that of a family. Seeing Yi Zhonghai crying like a little child, Old Lady Long felt very uncomfortable.

Touching Yi Zhonghai's already gray hair, she thought for a while and said, "Zhonghai, you and your wife are not very old. Why don't you two adopt a child?" After all, Mrs. Long could no longer bear the inner torment and spoke from the bottom of her heart.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then looked at Old Lady Long in surprise. In the past, the couple had considered adopting a child, but Old Lady Long rejected it. Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Old Lady, didn't you say that adopted children are not safe? Why are you..."

Old Lady Long felt a little guilty. If he hadn't interfered, the children adopted by the couple would have grown up. But Old Lady Long still had to perform. After all, he was a very holy ancestor. He frowned and said, "I used to think that Sha Zhu was the best choice to take care of us in our old age. Sha Zhu is a famous chef. Let him take care of us in our old age, and you two can enjoy happiness when you are old."

Old Lady Long smiled bitterly, shook her head helplessly and said, "Alas, we two conspired for this and drove He Daqing away. But I don't know what He Daqing said to Sha Zhuzi before he left? Sha Zhuzi is no longer stupid all of a sudden. This child is smart now, and the wife he married is also very smart."

"Originally, you valued Jia Dongxu. I know that Jia Dongxu has no opinion, but don't forget that his mother is very smart! You are a person who will not turn back until you hit the wall, and I can't persuade you. But Zhonghai, now Jia Dongxu is dead, what else can you do? You should adopt a child!"

Old Lady Long's words also persuaded Yi Zhonghai. But he thought about what happened to Old Man Xu in the yard next door, and his eyes that refused to close, and cold sweat immediately flowed down. No, the adopted child must be unreliable, and he still had to continue to plan.

What kind of person is Old Lady Long? She has lived a long life and experienced three dynasties. She can be said to be a very experienced person. While feeling relieved, she also felt a little fortunate. If Yi Zhonghai and his wife really adopted a child, what would she do? He and Yi Zhonghai were just ordinary neighbors, and they had no obligation to provide for her in her old age.

I was just emotional and said what was in my heart. In fact, in the heart of Mrs. Long, she also felt that adopting a child was the only way out for Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary was quite high, and it could be said that he was one of the best in the Siheyuan. Even in the entire Sijiu City, he was a high-paid person.

At most, the couple could adopt a few more children. Wouldn't there be a filial child to repay the favor? Yi Zhonghai was just in the mountains and didn't know. Looking at Yi Zhonghai's eyes, Mrs. Long knew that Yi Zhonghai didn't listen at all. A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, if you really don't want to, there is still a way."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Old Lady Long. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Old Lady, please give me some advice." Old Lady Long stood up with a cane, thought for a while and said, "Chen Er, what do you think of this kid? You can train him wholeheartedly now, and then find him a wife."

Yi Zhonghai frowned. He had secretly observed Chen Er over the years. This kid had many problems, especially his gambling addiction, which made Yi Zhonghai very uncomfortable. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "Old lady, although Chen Er is now an orphan and a bachelor, he loves gambling very much! This is a bottomless pit."

Old Lady Long showed her few remaining teeth and said with a smile, "Hehe, isn't this a good opportunity for you to control him? If that boy is ambitious, why should he provide for you in your old age? People have to have shortcomings, and that's how people can manipulate them. It would be great if this boy could pay out all the monthly salary? Then you can help him. If you help him back and forth, won't the relationship between your two families get better and better?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "But, but this kid is old now, he should find a wife! What if his wife doesn't agree to take care of us in our old age?" Old Lady Long looked at Yi Zhonghai, grinned and said, "Then why don't you find him an obedient one? Find him a woman with a good temper. Didn't you see that even Xu Erni was trained to be obedient by Jia Zhangshi! Are you not as good as Jia Zhangshi?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he had a crazy idea in his mind, to match Xu Erni and Chen Er together. He was old and cunning, and he could see over the years that Chen Er, the rogue, had feelings for Xu Erni. Yi Zhonghai was willing to add fuel to the fire, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Old lady, I understand."

Old lady Long frowned and asked subconsciously, "Oh, what did you understand?" Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes and told the old lady what he was thinking. Old lady Long frowned and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Your plan is not good! I believe any normal man would not agree to it. Which normal man would marry a divorced widow with two children?"
