Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Jia Zhang then continued to persuade him, "Scholars often say that there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no offspring. You, Yi Zhonghai, are certainly a man of character, but are you willing to be childless for the rest of your life? After a hundred years, if you don't even have someone to help you make money, what's the point of earning a fortune?"

"I am just giving you a slap in the face and then giving you a sweet date. If I really have no other choice, I won't try to get the skin of a tiger. You are too insidious. If I am not forced to the point where I have no other choice, do you think I would do such a thing as killing one thousand enemies and hurting myself eight hundred?"

"I, Zhang Cuihua, have lived in this city for almost my entire life, and I can accept some things. As long as you let me live comfortably for the rest of my life, give me ten yuan a month as pension, and let my daughter-in-law serve me peacefully in the courtyard, I will take all your bad things with me until I die."

Yi Zhonghai stared at Jia Zhang in a daze, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I have known you since 1944, which means we have known each other for 16, 17 or 18 years. I, Yi Zhonghai, feel that today I have finally truly understood who you, Zhang Cuihua, are. This is really an eye-opener. For the sake of your own retirement, you cuckolded your dead son. Aren't you afraid that your son will come looking for you in the middle of the night?"

Jia Zhang was subconsciously a little scared. No matter how tough he pretended to be, he was still a woman in his heart. He gritted his teeth and knew that he could not be a coward now. He showed a bitter smile and said, "Do you think I care about these empty reputations? If I don't seize this opportunity, I will definitely live a very difficult life in the second half of my life."

"As for my son being cuckolded, I don't care. You can hate me or blame me in your heart. I can't care about so many trivial matters. I just want to live a carefree and happy life. Even if I go to hell, I will not be afraid in front of my son."

Yi Zhonghai now admires Jia Zhangshi very much. She can say such shameless words, which makes him look at her in a new light! Yi Zhonghai smiled coldly. It's really a fixed influence that kills people! I didn't expect that this old woman had been pretending to be fierce and short-sighted for more than ten years, but she treated him, Yi Zhonghai, like a monkey.

Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "How is it? My method is good, isn't it? You don't have to sneak into those unclean places in the Eight Great Hutongs. If you are caught by the patrols one day, your reputation as an eighth-level fitter will be ruined!"

Yi Zhonghai was startled by these words, but he immediately regained his composure. However, he was discovered by the shrewd Jia Zhang. She was just trying to trick him. She didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai was really old but not old at heart. If she was caught in such a place these days, once the news was reported to the steel mill, her reputation as a master would be ruined.

Yi Zhonghai squinted his eyes and thought about it, and finally decided not to alert the enemy. He had known this old woman for most of his life, and anyone who had experienced war would be as smart as a human being! He smiled and said, "There is definitely no problem on my side, but do you think your daughter-in-law will agree?"

Jia Zhang waved her hand nonchalantly. She didn't think her daughter-in-law would refuse. What is the current situation in the countryside? Doesn't he know? She said directly, "Don't worry about this. As long as you agree, oh, no, what I said just now is just some sweet treats for you. Do you think Yi Zhonghai is still qualified to choose?"

"Originally, my plan was not about you at all. You are just an old man in his forties or fifties. But now I have to hook up with a hypocrite like you. How about Yi Zhonghai, let's talk frankly. Then you can get the beauty, and I, an old lady, can live well in this era."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "Can you really let your daughter-in-law give me a son? But if a widow gives birth to a son, aren't you afraid of the neighbors pointing fingers? Even the street will come to hold you accountable!"

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Don't play dumb with me. Isn't Chen Er your backup? Now he is acting like a dog seeing shit when he sees my daughter-in-law. I don't need to continue what I am saying." Yi Zhonghai looked at the old lady with some admiration. He didn't expect that the old lady was so smart!

He said to Jia Zhang with some admiration, "From now on, if anyone dares to say behind your back that you are a fool, I, Yi Zhonghai, will definitely give him a few slaps in the face." Jia Zhang was a little proud in her heart, but she pretended to be indifferent and said, "Alas, I have no choice. If I don't take down this big Buddha of yours, my life will be ruined for the rest of my life. So you agree...!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, what do you think? Do you think I can still say no now? I didn't expect that after knowing each other for so many years, those stereotypes of you in the past were deliberately displayed by you, an old woman! I have really boarded your pirate ship now, and I am afraid I will have to go all the way with you."

Jia Zhang looked Yi Zhonghai up and down, and said with a smile, "Don't make yourself look like a victim. The government doesn't allow a man to have two women now. I, an old lady, have been so generous to let my daughter-in-law accompany you. Are you still unwilling? I'm afraid you are already very happy in your heart! Don't make yourself look very reluctant, Yi Zhonghai, after all these years, what kind of person are you? Don't I know it!"

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's livid face, he knew that he must not provoke Yi Zhonghai's anger again. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Ah, actually, it is good for you to cooperate with me! We, the Jia family, are your servants. What will you do in the courtyard in the future? We, the Jia family, will follow your lead."

Listening to what Jia Zhang said, Yi Zhonghai almost laughed out loud. The old Jia family is now old and young, what's the point of them supporting him? But at least he was comforting himself, Yi Zhonghai nodded speechlessly. Anyway, based on his salary, giving Jia Zhang ten yuan a month would not be a big loss for him? Keeping a lover outside would cost more than ten yuan a month?
