Now the deaf old lady's health is getting worse, especially in winter when the weather is too cold. Sometimes she doesn't go out for several days. Li Ming's wife is still relatively good. When the sun comes out, she always helps the old lady out to see the sun. But when it is cloudy and rainy, there is nothing she can do.

But even so, her complexion looked worse and worse, and she might not be able to hold on one day. Li Ming's wife really tried her best. At the end of last year when the weather was good, she took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that there was nothing that could be done. The elderly were too old and most of them were malnourished. It was good enough for the old lady to be in this condition.

Jiang Feng let the deaf old lady go. At that time, he and Yi Zhonghai plotted against He Yuzhu and himself. However, he thought that in the play, thanks to the deaf old lady, otherwise the He family would really be extinct. Although she was definitely thinking about himself, the result was still good. So he was too lazy to pay attention to her and let her fend for herself.

Jiang Feng didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the Jia family, but someone couldn't wait any longer. At work, Yi Zhonghai finally confronted Qin Huairu and asked her to come to his house in the evening and talk to her about something. Qin Huairu thought about it and agreed.

Yi Zhonghai saw another way out from the deaf old lady, but of course he had to choose someone he liked. The deaf old lady had no choice. If she had someone to take care of her at home, how could she go to the yard to find someone?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hate Li Guilan. It had been so many years, and why couldn't she take care of him for a few more years? Now the house belongs to someone else, and the street office has registered it. Who would dare to meddle in it? With more houses, his retirement would be more secure.

Yi Zhonghai was eating by the sea, and was also thinking about what to tell Qin Huairu when she came. Yi Zhonghai knew his own affairs. He had been to those places too many times when he was young. He had no children for so many years, so how could he not find someone to see a doctor? However, he did not dare to go to the hospital. He saw all the old Chinese doctors, and they all said the same thing: excessive indulgence would damage his vitality.

Li Guilan's gynecological disease has been used as an excuse for years. No one knows how she knew about it or why she went for a check-up herself. So many years have passed, and someone must have told her something. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai slammed the table in anger. If anyone was to blame, it would only be the He family and Jiang Feng.

The sound of slapping the table also startled him. There was no one in the empty room now, and any movement would echo. After finishing his meal, Yi Zhonghai packed up his things, poured himself a cup of tea, and lit a cigarette.

Now he has given up on the eldest uncle in the courtyard. The situation is so chaotic that no one can stabilize it, including Yan Fugui. The third uncle will not be able to stay in office for long.

Before he knew it, it was past seven in the evening. Yi Zhonghai heard a knock on the door and looked up. Qin Huairu was standing at the door. Yi Zhonghai said, "Come in."

Qin Huairu called out "Master" and walked in slowly.

Yi Zhonghai pointed and asked Qin Huairu to sit down. He looked at Qin Huairu and said, "I have thought a lot these days. You know what I want. One is to have a retirement, and the other is to have a child. I always placed my hopes on Dongxu. Now that Dongxu is gone, I wanted to put them on you."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai paused and said, "I was very optimistic about you, respecting your parents-in-law and loving your children. However, you have been unable to control Jia Zhang for such a long time, so all my hopes will be in vain. I called you here today to tell you clearly that you have seen the deaf old lady. I believe it will not be difficult to find someone to take care of me in my two rooms in the yard."

"Master, I am willing to take care of you in your old age." Qin Huairu was also anxious. He knew that this matter could only be settled privately. Otherwise, if it was put in the courtyard, no one would look down on the Jia family just because of Jia Zhang.

"You don't have the final say, including Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng's. I know them too well. If they really can't make money, I think they will wish I would die sooner so that they can make room. What guarantees can you give?"

Qin Huairu naturally knew what the deaf old lady was like now and what the daughter-in-law of the Li family did. The key was that she could stand on her own, had the final say at home, and did what she did outside. Everyone would compare. If you were given some meat, you would hide it. If you were given some money, you would still think it was not enough. Qin Huairu didn't know what to do.

I could only lower my head and say, "Master, please tell me what you say. I'll do whatever I want as long as I can do it. But you know my mother-in-law. I can't do anything about her. But I sincerely promise to take care of you in your old age."

"I asked you to come and talk because I believe you are sincere. Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry? When I retire, I will find someone to take care of my family in the hospital. With my salary and house, I believe there are many people who can help me. By then, it won't matter if you are sincere or not. If you want money and a house, you have to be nice to me."

"Master, I know, I know. Master, I will listen to whatever you say." Qin Huairu knew clearly in her mind that if it really came to this, her little plan would certainly not work. No one in her family would agree. How could the person who only wanted benefits without paying agree to it?

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment, stared at the door, and whispered, "It's not enough to just rely on your verbal promise. I not only want to be supported in my old age, but I also want a child."

"Master, you mean, no, I am Dongxu's wife and also your apprentice. Master, how can you have such an idea?"

Yi Zhonghai's face flushed slightly, and he turned his head to stare at Qin Huairu: "I know what you've been through in the factory, but I know you've had a hard time. If you want to get something, you have to pay something. You're a smart person, and I believe you understand what I mean."

"Master, is this really necessary? I will let Banggeng recognize you as his grandfather. Banggeng is not a bad guy. He just learned bad things from his grandmother in recent years. Banggeng is not a bad person by nature. Xiaodang and Huaihua are also good. They will be your grandchildren in the future."

"It's too late. Bang Geng is too old to change. He has inherited his grandmother's personality. The other two are too young. When I see them grow up, Jia Zhang will teach them to be like her. I want a child of my own. Don't worry, I will rent a house outside. As long as you are willing, I will arrange everything."

"Master, this won't work. I can't accept it. Don't you really consider what I just said?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes moved slightly, thought about it, and shook his head again: "I don't believe it. Since you don't want to, forget it. I won't manage your Jia family's affairs in the future, and I don't have the ability to manage them. I believe that finding someone to take care of you in the yard, this house is enough."

Qin Huairu saw that he could not persuade Yi Zhonghai, and knew that it was useless to rely on Jia Dongxu's favor, so he could only rush over and hold Yi Zhonghai's hand and said, "Master, Master, let me think about it, I will think about it."

While talking and crying, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly pushed Qin Huairu away. For the sake of his own reputation, he kept the door open. If someone really saw him, he would definitely be branded as having an affair with his apprentice's wife.

Qin Huairu sobbed quietly when she saw Yi Zhonghai like this. Yi Zhonghai said, "Think about it yourself. If you are willing, tell me tomorrow. If you really don't want to, forget it. I won't force you."

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked Qin Huairu to go back. Qin Huairu had expected this, but she still pretended to be embarrassed. She wiped her tears and walked out of the house with her head down. Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu's back and made up his mind that if he couldn't take her down this time, he would really have to start all over again.

After Qin Huairu returned to the house, Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu had been crying and opened her mouth, but did not ask. Who knows if this little bitch did it on purpose for her to see? I don’t have time to deal with her.

Qin Huairu looked flustered, and the first words she said made Jia Zhang unable to hold back: "Mom, Master said that he will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Jia family. He plans to use the house to find someone to take care of him after retirement, just like the deaf old lady."

Jia Zhang was startled at first, then immediately jumped up and cursed: "Why? Why does this dead family ignore us? Dongxu is his apprentice, and so are you. Didn't you agree that you would take care of him in his old age?"

Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Master said I can't trust her. Besides, everyone has seen how the Li family treats the deaf old lady. Everyone says they do a good job. We live and eat together at home. Now the deaf old lady lives in a smaller place, but the Li family's daughter-in-law treats her like her own elder."

"What should we do? Li Ming's family is also sick. Why should we be so nice to a dying old woman? If she were in my house, she would have died and been reborn sooner. Why should she suffer this? Look, that dying old woman can't even walk."

"Mom, stop talking. What should we do now? Master's house and salary are all gone. I told you to be careful a long time ago, but you just didn't believe me and thought that they had to choose the Jia family. Now you're like this."

After saying this, Qin Huairu sat there with a helpless look on her face. She definitely couldn't tell her about having a baby. Qin Huairu had already made up her mind. She just wanted this damn old woman to be more restrained in the future and not care so much.

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes several times. It would be useless even if her eyeballs fell off. She knew her own business, but she couldn't be like Li Ming's wife. It was enough to give the stutterer food, but she still wanted to eat good food and go to bed early at night. She had all kinds of dreams.

He spread his hands and said, "I can't help you. You have to figure it out yourself. You are her disciple, and even your master can't keep an eye on you. If Dongxu was still here, there would be no need for such trouble. That deadbeat guy wouldn't even come here on his own."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu felt even more miserable. She must have done something wrong in her previous life to have to have such a mother-in-law, who would step forward when there were benefits, but would step back when it was time to contribute, would hide aside when encountering difficulties, and would never lag behind when causing trouble.

Jia Zhang had Qin Huairu under control, knowing that even if she didn't care about herself, she would not be willing to give up her children. Everything she did was for the children. Her plan to take Yi Zhonghai's salary and house was for Banggeng. Even though Banggeng had gone to the countryside, she was still thinking about him.
