Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

The Ding family looked at the spacious courtyard and looked at Li Gang differently.

Sha Zhu, his wife, and Yu Li all went to the kitchen to cook. Li Fang poured tea for everyone. Li Gang took out a few boxes of Zhonghua.

"We don't need such good cigarettes. Ordinary ones will do," said Mr. Ding.

Li Gang: "I don't have any other cigarettes at home, so I'll just smoke this!"

Father Ding: "I'll call you Xiao Si too! I see you're not very old. I heard from Zhuzi that all your family fortune was earned by hunting. It seems that you have great hunting skills."

Li Gang: "It was just luck, luck, luck."

Father Ding: "This is not luck. I have come into contact with hunters before, but they don't have your ability. That, that..."

Li Gang looked at Ding's father and said, "Uncle Ding, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I have nothing to hide."

Father Ding said embarrassedly, "I am a custodian in the granary. All the work in our granary is physical labor. Recently, the deputy director position of the granary has been vacant. I had no intention of competing for it. But today, seeing your situation, I had some ideas. If I can get a wild boar, then I can compete for the position of deputy director."

Li Gang understood that Father Ding, the deputy director of the grain depot, could be of use to Li Gang in the future, because there was still a lot of vacant land in this small courtyard, about four acres. Now that the weather was about to get cold, it would be just right to plant three acres of winter wheat in two days and build a greenhouse, so Father Ding could really help.

Li Gang: "Uncle Ding, if you can get this deputy director, it will take a few wild boars to deal with him."

Father Ding was surprised. This was done directly without any competition. This Li family's young master was not simple. He suppressed his excitement.

Father Ding: "Two wild boars are enough."

Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you three wild boars that weigh more than 200 kilograms, and a roe deer. In addition, I'll provide you with a wild boar every month. Will the deputy director agree to that?"

Father Ding was surprised and delighted and said quickly, "For these materials, even the director can fight for the deputy director position, not to mention the deputy director position. However, I have a weak foundation, so the deputy director position is enough."

Li Gang: "Okay, I'll give it to you in two days, but you have to send someone to go into the mountains with me. I can't get these wild boars back."

Father Ding: "That's no problem. My three boys are all very strong. If there are not enough people, I will call some relatives and then find a car."

Li Gang "That's no problem. I'll go down the mountain to collect the traps in the next few days. But I'm a little busy and I'd like to ask you for help."

Father Ding said without hesitation, "Xiao Si, you tell me, I will definitely do it for you if I can do it."

Li Gang "It's not a big deal. You saw that there is still a lot of open space in this yard this afternoon. Now is the time to plant winter wheat. I plan to plant three acres of winter wheat, so I want to ask Uncle Ding to get some wheat seeds, as well as some vegetable seeds such as peppers, tomatoes, leeks, and celery. Next year, I will plant one acre of vegetables and three acres of rice."

When Father Ding heard what it was, he said, "That's easy. I'll get it for you in the next few days. I guarantee there will be enough."

By now the dishes were ready, and they were served. Two tables were set up. Fortunately, the house was big enough, so there was one table for men and one for women.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Sha Zhu suddenly said, "There must be something wrong with Yi Zhonghai's brain. What does it have to do with him when I get married?"

Li Gang smiled but said nothing.

Sha Zhu: "By the way, Xiao Si, didn't you say you would tell me why I can't let Yi Zhonghai know about my blind date?"

Li Gang looked at the people at the table and said, "Uncle Ding, you are not outsiders, so let me tell you, Brother Zhuzi, let me ask you, what is Yi Zhonghai's biggest wish or regret?"

Silly Zhu scratched his head and couldn't say anything. Suddenly, Yu Shui at that table said, "My silly brother, the biggest regret of an old man is that he has no children to support him in his old age."

Sha Zhu slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Yes, it's because I don't have children and no one to take care of me in my old age." Everyone looked down on him, but Sha Zhu didn't care.

Li Gang: "Then let me ask you, since you don't have a child, why not just adopt one? Don't tell me there are no children to adopt these days."

Father Ding: "There are many children in the shelter, and even orphans of martyrs. Our granary sends food to the shelter every month. I know this."

Li Gang: "That's it. See why Yi Zhonghai doesn't adopt one. Yi Zhonghai is afraid that the child will grow up and recognize his ancestors instead of them. Secondly, he is afraid that if he invests too much, his money will be wasted." Everyone nodded in agreement

Li Gang continued, "Look at why Yi Zhonghai took Jia Dongxu as his apprentice, and whenever the Jia family has problems, Yi Zhonghai will spare no effort to help."

Sha Zhu got smarter now, "He wants Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, but what does this have to do with me?"

Li Gang smiled and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." He Yushui and the other girls at the table stopped eating and listened to Li Gang's analysis.

Li Gang continued, "You may have forgotten Jia Zhangshi. I don't need to say anything about Jia Zhangshi. She is lazy, greedy, and a playboy. Will she agree to Jia Dongxu taking care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age? If not, then does she have to have someone else to take care of him?" Everyone looked at Sha Zhu.

Silly Zhu: "Why are you all looking at me? Xiao Si, you are not going to say that I am the second elderly caregiver, are you?"

Li Gang "You are right this time, it is you,"

Sha Zhu said in confusion, "If you want me to take care of you in your old age, just say it directly. What does this have to do with me getting married?"

Ding Qiuxia: "Zhu Zi, don't say anything. Listen to Xiao Si." Silly Zhu was silent.

Li Gang: "Yes, what does this have to do with marriage? Of course it has a connection and it's a big one. Yes, Sha Zhu may not refuse to provide for Yi Zhonghai in his old age, but what if Sha Zhu's wife doesn't want to? So, this wife must be recognized by Yi Zhonghai, and must be obedient and honest, and not have her own opinions. Only in this way can she be easily controlled. Now you understand."

Sha Zhu slammed the table and said angrily, "Okay, I was wondering why when I went on a blind date, everything was fine at the beginning, but the girl didn't want to go. And the girl Yi Zhonghai introduced to me was not a divorced woman, she was Zhu Bajie's second aunt. So... I'm going to settle the score with him." He stood up and was about to leave.

Father Ding: "Zhu Zi, sit down and listen to what Xiao Si has to say. Try to change your impulsiveness in the future."

Li Gang "Uncle Ding, don't blame Sha Zhu for being impulsive. Think about it, Sha Zhu has been living alone with his sister since Uncle He left. If he wasn't a little ruthless and impulsive, the He family would have been wiped out long ago. There are many people who have been wiped out by such a move."

Father Ding: "Hey, Zhuzi has a hard time too."

Li Gang continued, "Then who is the most suitable? It must be Sha Zhu. Let me think about what I would do if I were Yi Zhonghai. Oh, I would often say bad things about your father in front of Sha Zhu, for example, your father is not worthy of being a father, and I would often give him small favors and so on. I would also instill in him the idea of ​​respecting the old and loving the young, respecting the elderly, and being filial to the elders. Then he would let you make mistakes frequently, such as beating Xu Damao, and then he would side with you, so that you would be grateful to him and know that he is good to you. Then he would find you an obedient wife, and that would be safe. As for Yu Shui, haha, in his eyes, she is someone else's family, so he just needs to do a good job on the surface in front of you."

At this time, Yu Shui was already crying. Sha Zhu looked at Yu Shui and cried, "Yu Shui, don't cry. I won't ignore you."

Yu Shui cried and said, "Brother, you don’t know, during those years you often came back late, and there was no food at home. I went to an uncle’s house to ask for some steamed bread, but the uncle clearly had steamed bread on the table, but he didn’t give it to me. He also told me to just be patient and it would pass, and when you come back, there would be food. And there was the old lady in the backyard. I went to ask her for food, but she was eating noodles and steamed buns, but she didn’t give me any, saying that they were for tomorrow’s food. When I went out, I heard the old lady say, ‘You are a money-loser, what are you going to eat, wuwuwuwu, wuwuwuwu’"

The rain poured out all the grievances of the past few years, crying loudly.

Sha Zhu's veins were bulging, his fists were clenched, his face was red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you Yi Zhonghai, you bastard, you dare to plot against me like this, and you dare to bully my sister and that old lady. I have such a good connection with you, but you say one thing in front of me and another behind my back. No, I can't bear it anymore, I'm going to find them."

Li Gang said, "Brother Zhuzi, don't be impulsive. You are married now. Before you do anything, you should think about your sister-in-law first." Father Ding, Mother Ding, and everyone tried to persuade Sha Zhuzi. Yu Shui also came over and hugged Sha Zhuzi and cried. The two poor siblings hugged each other and cried bitterly. Everyone felt sorry for the two siblings.

Ding Qiuxia also came over, hugged Yu Shui and comforted her, "From now on, with sister-in-law here, no one can bully our Yu Shui." After saying this, Yu Shui cried even harder.

Silly Zhu" Rain, why didn't you tell me at that time

He Yushui said aggrievedly, "I dare not, I'm afraid you won't want me.

Sha Zhu slapped himself, hating himself for not taking good care of his sister.

Li Gang: "Now you know everything, so be nicer to Yu Shui in the future. I continued, Uncle Ding, I have a question for you."

Father Ding: "Xiao Si, if you ask me, I will tell you everything I know"

Li Gang: "Uncle Ding, if you go out of town, will you be worried about your children at home?"

Ding's father: "Of course I'm worried"

Li Gang: "Then what will you do?"

Father Ding: "Of course I asked someone to take care of it.

Father Ding seemed to understand something. Father Ding said, "You mean..."

Li Gang: "Uncle Ding, you've thought of it, right? We will definitely ask someone to take care of him. Who? Of course, the neighbors in the hospital. They're close and convenient."

Father Ding: "Then Yi Zhonghai is the best candidate"

Li Gang "Uncle Ding is right, but there is still a problem. How to take care of someone? Just move your mouth and you will take care of him."

Father Ding: "That's impossible. If it were me, I would definitely send money." Li Gang guided step by step.

"Where did the money come from? I never received a penny,"

Li Gang: "Don't worry, just because you didn't receive it doesn't mean Uncle He didn't send it. But since the two siblings have never seen the money, who would the money be sent to?"

Everyone in the room said in unison, "Yi Zhonghai"

Father Ding couldn't stand it anymore and slammed the table, "Damn it, this old man is really calculating, he has such a dark heart, he can't be childless, everyone also blamed Yi Zhonghai in unison"

Li Gang: "Zhu Zi Yu Shui, you can go to Baoding and ask your father, or you can go to the post office and ask. The post office will definitely have a stub and a signature."

Father Ding: "Yes, Zhuzi, you go to the post office this afternoon. I will go with you. Then you can see how I will deal with this old bastard."

Li Gang: "Uncle Ding, there is no rush. If this is as I guessed, then what are you going to do? We have to think about these things carefully."
