Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Xu Damao put down the wine glass in his hand and asked anxiously: "Uncle He, if that old man Yi Zhonghai changes his mind, is there nothing we can do?"

Thinking that Xu Damao was infertile and would not have his own children in the future, He Daqing felt sorry for the child and shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I want to ask you, Xu Damao, do you really not want this child?"

"Although she is a girl, nowadays everyone emphasizes gender equality, and girls are the closest thing to their fathers. In the future, girls may be more filial than boys."

"Besides, the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to a child. The child has grown up by your side since she was young. As long as you treat her well, she will be able to repay you well in the future."

Xu Damao shook his head and said, "Uncle He, you know the current situation. If I have my own children in the future, how can I support such a large family?"

Liu Haizhong also retorted: "That's right, He Daqing, what you said is true. No matter how good other people's children are, they are not as reliable as your own children. Look at the three boys in my family. Even if I punish them, they still have to listen to me obediently."

"Da Mao is so young. If he has three or five more children in the future, will he be able to support such a large family? Do you want Xu Damao to be like the old Yan family, who have to count the pickles by the roots?"

Yan Bugui was concentrating on eating, but was suddenly dragged out and whipped by Liu Haizhong, the sixth brother. This was really a disaster from the sky.

Yan Bugui put down his chopsticks and said quietly, "Old Liu, I don't like what you said. As the saying goes: If you can't eat well and wear well, you won't be poor. If you can't plan well, you will be poor. I am just being frugal and managing my household."

"Besides, what's wrong with my family? I have several children, all of whom were raised by each other. Do you think I treated any of them unfairly? I am fair! Unlike you, you are so partial to me that you almost go to the beach."

"As for me, whether your children will be filial to you in the future is another matter."

When Liu Haizhong heard that Yan Bugui dared to say that his Guangqi was unfilial, he immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Old Yan, those bastards in your family are the unfilial ones! My Guangqi will soon graduate from technical secondary school and become an official. And look at your Yan Jiecheng, he hangs around everywhere all day long, and looks like a street thug!"

Yan Bugui was filled with anger when Liu Haizhong exposed his shortcomings.

Just as he was about to continue arguing with Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao quickly pulled the two apart and said, "Second uncle, Third uncle, calm down! Let's talk about my business today, and we'll talk about your business later. Let's talk about my business first."

After all, they were at someone else's house, and they had eaten and drunk someone else's food. So the two of them glared at each other and sat down.

Xu Damao continued, "Uncle He, you can see that I really have no power to help you! But I have also figured it out. We will all be in the same yard in the future. If it is convenient, we will also take care of this child."

Hearing Xu Damao's thoughts, it seemed that he and Qin Huairu had also discussed this.

He Daqing said, "Da Mao, if you really plan to send this child away, when Yi Zhonghai comes, we can't use force to force him to accept it."

"Doesn't he like moral blackmail? Then we will also use moral blackmail on him, so that he can't regret it even if he wants to."

When Xu Damao heard such a high-sounding plan, he immediately asked flatteringly: "Uncle He, can you tell us what to do in detail? We will listen to you."

He Daqing smiled and took a sip of wine, then said, "You all know that Yi Zhonghai and I don't get along. When Yi Zhonghai comes, I will come out to laugh at him, and you guys will praise him and persuade him. We want him to keep his regrets to himself. What do you say?"

After listening to this, Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "Uncle He, is this okay? Can Yi Zhonghai do what we want?"

At this time, Yan Bugui said: "Da Mao, you should listen to your uncle He. From what I know about Lao Yi, he is a very face-conscious person. So, Da Qing's move definitely grasps Lao Yi's character. Great move!"

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but glance at He Daqing. This old fox was so ruthless when it came to scheming against people. His methods made people fall into the trap without knowing it.

I'd better stay away from this Lao Liu from now on!

When Xu Damao heard that everyone agreed, he was happy. He quickly poured wine for He Daqing and drank a few glasses with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

When they finished a bottle of wine, Yi Zhonghai, Auntie, and Jia Zhang knocked on the door and came in.

Xu Damao was extremely polite. He asked Qin Huairu to clear the table of things and offered seats to several people and poured tea. He was very enthusiastic.

Although Yi Zhonghai didn't understand why Xu Damao had changed so much, but looking at the people inside, he knew that it would not be an easy task for him to push the child out today.

He Daqing saw Yi Zhonghai just sitting down and spoke first: "Old Yi, you are here to take this child with you today, right? I heard some people say that you dislike her because she is a girl and don't plan to continue to adopt her. Is this true?"

As soon as He Daqing finished speaking, Yan Bugui continued, "Daqing, don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders. We have been neighbors for so many years, how can we not know who Lao Yi is? Lao Yi is not the kind of person who goes back on his words."

Liu Haizhong also said: "Yes, now the instructor has said that men and women are equal. Lao Yi's thoughts are so positive, how could he still have such feudal and superstitious ideas? Don't you think so, Lao Yi?"

My goodness, Yi Zhonghai felt that the stool he had just sat on was particularly hot on his butt.

He hadn't said a word when he came in, but these guys blocked his way out. How could he speak?

After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai said, "I'm not going to regret it. In fact, I like this child too. But I heard from my wife that it was not easy for Huairu to give birth to this child. She almost sacrificed herself. She has a very deep affection for this child."

"Then I thought that I was getting old and couldn't be so cruel as to separate them. So I decided to give up my selfish behavior and help them to be together as mother and daughter."

They are all old foxes, and they can make plausible excuses for themselves.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were stunned when they heard this. Yi Zhonghai, the sixth one, didn't play his cards in order!

At first glance, Yi Zhonghai's reasons do make some sense.

So the two crouching dragon and phoenix turned around and looked at He Daqing, hoping that he would come forward to break the impasse.

Who is He Daqing that he could be fooled by Yi Zhonghai with just a few words?
