Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Who else could it be but Yan Bugui who called out to Yi Zhonghai?

Because school ends early, Yan Bugui usually goes home to water the flowers at this time, and keeps an eye on the gate to see if he can get some benefits from others.

After catching up with Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui looked extremely distressed, sighing and complaining: "Old Yi, my family is going to have trouble making ends meet!"

As soon as he heard the tune, Yi Zhonghai knew that he had guessed correctly. Not wanting to be a fool again, he turned a blind eye:

"Old Yan, you have to know how to be content. Besides, I'm short of money right now. I have a huge debt for Dongxu, and I have to borrow money for Yushui's medical treatment. My wife is not in good health..."

After talking for a while, the main point was just two words: no money.

"The third son of the Han family, that little bastard, reported the incident to the school and ruined the reputation of the three of us!"

Yan Bugui said angrily, "All the teacher awards this year have nothing to do with me! It may even affect my future promotion! Lao Yi, you have really made me suffer this time!"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He really had to give it to him. Yan Laoshou had suffered such a huge loss, he would definitely try every means to make up for it. If the relationship was really strained, both sides would suffer.

"How can the Han family be so bad!" Yi Zhonghai said indignantly, "How can they talk nonsense outside when the matter has not been investigated clearly? No, children are not so mean. I think it is most likely that an adult instructed them to do so!"

From the look of resentment and pain on Yan Bugui's face, it can be seen that all this is true.

Yi Zhonghai felt that since he would inevitably have to give Yan Bugui some compensation in the end, it would be a good opportunity to sow discord and make the Yan and Han families become complete enemies.

The isolation of the Han family began in the front yard.

Thinking of this, Yi Wanhua felt much better instantly.

Immediately, the two began a fierce tug-of-war over the amount of compensation.

It was eventually settled at an amount that was barely acceptable to both parties.

Yan Bugui knew that he could definitely extort money from Yi Zhonghai this time, it was just a matter of how much.

Now I have received another compensation. Although it is not as much as expected, it is still not a small amount.

As for Yi Zhonghai's words of sowing discord, Yan Suanpan had already let them go in one ear and out the other, not believing a single punctuation mark.

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of gossip are you doing with me?

This afternoon, Yan Bugui took some time to recall the recent events in the courtyard one by one. He felt more and more that the Han family was in a period of good fortune and luck, and that they would be able to turn misfortune into blessing and turn danger into safety.

Han Shanhai quietly got a job in a steel rolling mill. The Jia family and the Han family became enemies, Jia Dongxu was beaten half to death, and the next day Jia Zhang was scolded by everyone in the hospital so much that she dared not go out.

Yi Zhonghai tried to plot against Han Li many times, but all ended in failure, and he was often humiliated.

You know, Han Li used to have a similar temperament to his father Han Shanhai, who was good at nothing. But now he can repeatedly break Yi Zhonghai's plans by accident. Isn't this just good luck?

To go against such a lucky star, you have to be cunning.

After the two of them finalized the compensation, Yi Zhonghai began to secretly instigate Yan Bugui to cause trouble for the Han family:

"Old Yan, think carefully about this series of events. Instigating your son to report you, and then going to school to ruin your father and son's reputation, what kind of vicious intention is this!"

"Old Yi, I know this matter clearly. I will go back and ask the Han family for an explanation."

The business was done, and Yan Bugui didn't want to argue with Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, I'll come back to find you. I'm very upset right now, I have to go get two taels of wine to relieve my sorrow."

Originally, Yi Zhonghai also wanted to buy some wine, but now he had to pay Yan Bugui a large sum of money, which made him feel very depressed.

The most important thing is that you don’t know until you calculate it. Once you calculate the Yiyin coins, you suddenly realize that the money you spent this month has far exceeded your salary this month!

I've been really unlucky lately, losing money every day!

Originally, the family could eat meat every few days, and he was planning to save money to find a good doctor to cure his wife's health and give birth to a son.

Now, let alone treating my wife’s illness, even eating meat has become a problem.

"What is this all about!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed bitterly. He originally planned to buy a bottle of good wine to satisfy his craving, but now Yan Suanpan has extorted him again. Plus, he thought about the many places where he would need money in the future, so he had no choice but to downgrade his consumption and drink away the money like Yan Laokou.

As mentioned before, since Yi Zhonghai still has not given up on having a son, he has to save money to find a doctor to treat his wife's illness every once in a while;

In addition, he had to support the Jia family from time to time and occasionally take care of the deaf old lady in the backyard. With his salary as a mid-level worker, he could not afford to spend the money.

This also means that Yi Zhonghai does not have much savings on hand now, which is probably the main reason why he embezzled He Yushui's living expenses.

It was not known whether it was because he felt it was embarrassing to buy the food in a scattered basket, or because he was simply feeling extremely depressed, but after drinking, Yi Zhonghai quickened his pace as he hurried home, and as soon as he entered the house he took a few big gulps of wine.

"Hiss~" Yi Yinbi put on the mask of pain, feeling that loose wine was far worse than bottled wine.

Seeing her husband's gloomy face and drinking heavily, the aunt knew that her husband was in a bad mood, and advised him distressedly: "Boss, drinking on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. Eat your meal first and then drink."

Not knowing what was wrong with him, Yi Zhonghai immediately scowled and shouted angrily, "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. You can't even give birth to a son. What's the point of having you!"

The old lady lowered her head in shame and wiped away her tears secretly.

Because she couldn't give birth to a son and couldn't continue the Yi family's lineage, she lived in guilt all day long and always felt guilty towards her husband. Therefore, she became a nanny who obeyed her husband's every command and never dared to challenge him.

In traditional concepts, there is such a bad saying: "A woman who cannot give birth to a child is like a chicken that cannot lay eggs."

This kind of bad thinking is deeply rooted in this era, so if a couple cannot have children, everyone will think it is the woman's fault.

Take Compound No. 95 for example. Almost everyone sympathized with Yi Zhonghai, thinking that he was so unlucky to marry a wife who couldn't have children.

The old man has always been very good to his wife who cannot help the Yi family to continue the family line, which makes people in the courtyard think that the old man is a good person.

“Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry. No matter how good the fortune is, it will be ruined by your crying!” Yi Zhonghai snorted angrily, and said sternly, “Why don’t you go serve the food? Do you want to starve me to death?!”

Perhaps it was because he had vented his anger that Yi Wanhua felt calmer and his mind began to become active again: Should he help Old Yan at the whole hospital meeting tonight? How could he make the Yan family and the Han family completely become enemies?
