Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

In front of the Eight Immortals Table, Yi Zhonghai, dressed neatly, sat on a chair, opposite Third Brother Xu.

Widow Xu had already put on her clothes and was sitting beside the bed, looking at the two people in front of the table.

The warm sun shone into the room through the half-open door. Although the room became warmer, the atmosphere still seemed cold and deserted.

Yi Zhonghai sat upright at the table, freed from his previous embarrassment, and began to think carefully about what had happened.

He frowned and rubbed the ink on his thumb unconsciously, as if trying to rub away the confusion in his heart.

Brother Xu crossed his arms over his chest, stared at Yi Zhonghai, and snorted coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, tell me now! What are you going to do?"

Yi Zhonghai was brought back to reality by this question. His voice was hoarse from the hangover: "Tell me, how much money will it take to settle this matter?"

Yi Zhonghai still planned to spend money to avoid disaster. Giving more money to the orphan and widow would be better if they could go somewhere else.

As long as we don't report to the police today, there will still be room for maneuver in the future. There's no need to be as urgent as just now.

As for wanting to catch him and get gold coins later, he didn't stay in Sijiu City for so many years in vain.

Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed in his lowered eyes.

Yi Zhonghai has calmed down now, and shrewdness has come to his mind again. He wonders whether he has been set up a trap and is being used as a fat sheep.

Brother Xu San didn't see Yi Zhonghai's eyes clearly, but this time the plan was not just to extort money from him.

He slammed the tabletop so hard that the tea set shook slightly and made a loud "bang" sound, his anger evident in his words.

"Yi Zhonghai! What do you think of us?! We sincerely thank you, but you actually did such a dirty thing."

As Brother Xu San said this, he stood up angrily, pointed his finger at Yi Zhonghai, and said fiercely, "Go and ask around. My sister has been innocent all these years. Has there ever been any rumors about her?"

When Widow Xu saw the reaction of Third Brother Xu, she was filled with admiration. With his appearance, who could say he was not her biological brother?

She hurriedly cooperated, tears flashing in her eyes, pretending to sob, with a bit of resentment in her voice: "I'd rather not live like this!"

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai's face became uncertain and he couldn't help but doubt his previous speculation. Could it be that it really wasn't Xianren jumping?

His eyes wandered between the two people from the Xu family, and the balance in his heart began to sway.

From the moment he first came into contact with Widow Xu, Yi Zhonghai became suspicious and had already asked people to find out about Widow Xu.

Widow Xu's information was clean and innocent, and he also confirmed from the people in the alley that there was no problem with their interactions during this period.

Only then did he let down his guard and went to yesterday's appointment for dinner and drinks, but he didn't expect such a fucked-up thing to happen.

When Third Brother Xu saw what Widow Xu did, he glared at Yi Zhonghai but did not continue to force her.

He turned and walked towards the bed, comforted Widow Xu softly, winked at her, and helped her walk to the table.

Widow Xu took his hand and slowly walked towards the eight-immortals table in the main hall.

After Widow Xu sat down, Third Brother Xu slammed the table again with a firm tone.

"Yi Zhonghai, you must give my sister an explanation! Have you thought it through?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered and he looked at the two of them with a frown.

He forced himself to remain calm and waved his hand, "Give me some time, let me think about it."

"Okay, we'll give you some time and wait for you here." Brother Xu San spoke firmly and stretched out his finger to gently tap Yi Zhonghai.

The room suddenly fell into silence, and a subtle atmosphere filled the air.

Yi Zhonghai pondered secretly in his heart, looking at the expressions of the two men, there was no intention of blackmail at all, which made him doubt himself. Could it be that he was really overthinking?

But this is no longer important now. It would be better if he didn't extort money from me. I felt relieved and my tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Thinking back to the last time Wang Yayan took away most of his savings, his heart still ached and regret surged in his mind again.

Inadvertently, Yi Zhonghai's eyes fell on the sobbing Widow Xu. Her tearful appearance caused ripples in his heart.

He thought to himself, wasn't it because of her weakness that he was moved and offered a helping hand?

At this moment, an idea quietly emerged in his mind: why not marry her home? He is alone and needs someone who understands him.

The policy encourages widows to remarry, so marrying a widow can be considered as responding to the call.

Maybe he could take this opportunity to improve the neighborhood office's impression of him.

When this thought came to his mind, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stop thinking about it, and he couldn't contain himself.

Ever since Wang Yayan left, he no longer had the manpower to take care of the deaf old lady he had promised to do.

During this period, he paid his three aunts to look after him.

Although Yan Bugui, under the influence of He Yuzhu, is not as stingy as in the original plot, he is still a bit stingy.

The deaf old lady had come to see Yi Zhonghai several times, secretly expressing her dissatisfaction with the third aunt.

If Widow Xu were to marry into the family, the matter would be easily resolved. As for whether Widow Xu would agree or not, that was not within his consideration.

What is more important to Yi Zhonghai? It's his children!

Although he knew he was injured, the more so, the more he hoped for the best.

He firmly believed that as long as he kept seeing doctors, continuing treatment and taking medication, he would be able to have his own children one day.

Widow Xu has already given birth to a child, so she will be able to have her own child in the future without the uncertainty that exists for Wang Yayan.

As for the hospital's diagnosis report, he chose to turn a blind eye to it. If he believed it, it was there. If he didn't, it wasn't there.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes gradually lit up with a fiery light, his tightly furrowed brows quietly relaxed, and a strange blush appeared on his cheeks.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but tap the table lightly, making a crisp sound.

The Xu brother and sister looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

Yi Zhonghai's face was filled with joy, his eyes fixed on Widow Xu, and he asked directly, "Xiao Xu, how about you marry me?"

Widow Xu's face froze instantly. She widened her eyes in pretended surprise and did not answer for a moment. She just looked at the Third Brother Xu beside her.

Brother Xu San finally heard the answer he wanted and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally without having to bother giving guidance.

He turned around and looked at Widow Xu tacitly, and they both felt relieved.

Widow Xu lowered her head and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Now that things have come to this, this is the only way."

When Yi Zhonghai heard her agreement, he nodded with satisfaction. This result was not a loss for him, but a profit.

Brother Xu San saw all of this, rolled his eyes, knocked on the table, and showed a bit of dissatisfaction on his face.

"Yi Zhonghai, you are still responsible. You married my sister, so this matter doesn't damage her reputation."

He changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "But you have to give her some private money to keep her safe. Isn't that too much?"

How could Yi Zhonghai not hear the hidden meaning? He knew very well that this so-called "private money" was just a hush money for Brother Xu San.

But he didn't care. After all, as long as the matter could be resolved smoothly, he wouldn't mind paying some money to make people shut up.

He frowned slightly and stared into Brother Xu's eyes: "How much do you think is appropriate?"

Brother Xu held out his index finger and said crisply, "One hundred!"

This link can be regarded as his extra benefit. On the basis that it is not a bad thing, he said a number that Yi Zhonghai can bear.

Sure enough, Yi Zhonghai agreed after a little hesitation and accepted his condition.

"Okay! Then you go and get the marriage certificate today. As soon as you get the money, I'll give you the IOU!" Brother Xu San said happily.

As the matter was settled, the three of them stood up and walked out of the room, preparing to get letters of introduction and obtain their marriage certificate as soon as possible.
