Chapter 19 Yi Zhonghai is waiting at the door!
Chapter 19 Yi Zhonghai is waiting at the door!
Sha Zhu, the chef of the steel rolling mill, is a lover of widows just like his father. He always says that if one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, but he ignores that he has a younger sister who is still studying.
Because he coveted Qin Huairu's body, at the instigation of Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu sent money and food to the Jia family all day long. If the deaf old lady had not plotted against Lou Xiao'e and locked Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e in a room, Sha Zhu would probably have ended up with his family extinct.
When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's words, a faint smile appeared on his face. He said to Qin Huairu in a very cordial tone: "Sister-in-law! I know Sha Zhu has helped our Jia family a lot. Since he is here, why don't you invite him in to eat with us!"
Qin Huairu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jia Dongming's words. She quickly put down her chopsticks and walked quickly to the door of the main hall. She smiled and said to Sha Zhu who was holding a net bag in his hand: "Zhu Zi! Bang Geng's uncle came back today and bought some pork belly. We made some dumplings. How about you come in and have some?"
Sha Zhu was just wanting to see what Jia Dongxu's eldest brother looked like. When he heard Qin Huairu's invitation, he immediately picked up the net bag in his hand and said to Qin Huairu happily, "Qin family! There is a treat in the cafeteria today. I brought back some snacks so that I can have a drink with my brother Jia."
When Qin Huairu heard Sha Zhu's words and thought about the fact that Jia Dongming didn't have any wine, she quickly called out to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! Go in first. I'll go home and get you some wine. You can accompany Banggeng's uncle tonight and have a good drink!"
When Sha Zhu heard what Qin Huairu said, he happily walked into the main hall with his net bag. When he saw Jia Dongming sitting in the main hall, he smiled and said to Jia Zhang: "Aunt Zhang! I heard that my brother Jia is back, so I brought some dishes and came to have a drink with my brother Jia."
Although Sha Zhu has been helping the Jia family, Jia Zhang doesn't like Sha Zhu at all. If Jia Dongming hadn't been there, Jia Zhang would probably have snatched the lunch box that Sha Zhu brought and kicked him out.
When Jia Zhang heard what Sha Zhu said, she rolled her eyes at him and replied, "Since you're here, just find a chair and sit down!"
After Yi Zhonghai finished eating the dumplings Qin Huairu sent him at home, he stayed by the window and observed everything in the yard.
Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu carrying a net bag and walking into the courtyard. Qin Huairu then walked out of the courtyard and went back to Jia's house to get a bottle of wine. He was about to go back to the courtyard. He hurried out of the house and shouted to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! I just saw Sha Zhu calling you at your door. It seemed like he was going to bring you a lunch box. Where is Sha Zhu?"
Although Qin Huairu came from the countryside and married into the city, and suffered a lot in the Jia family, Qin Huairu's emotional intelligence was not low at all.
When Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the house, she immediately realized that Yi Zhonghai must have been in the house the whole time, watching every move in the yard.
Facing Yi Zhonghai's question, Qin Huairu smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle! Zhuzi is at my uncle's house. Because my uncle just moved in, the family hasn't prepared any wine yet, so he went home to get a bottle of wine for my uncle and Zhuzi to drink. If you are free, why not come and have a drink together?"
Ever since Yi Zhonghai learned that the eldest son of the Jia family had returned, he has been thinking of finding an excuse to visit the villa, and Qin Huairu's invitation undoubtedly gave Yi Zhonghai an excuse to pay a visit.
Qin Huairu's invitation was exactly what Yi Zhonghai wanted. He said to her happily, "Huairu! Today is a good day for your Jia family. How can we drink Lao Baigan? I happen to have two bottles of Xifeng Liquor! I'll go back and get them now. We'll drink Xifeng Liquor tonight."
Yi Zhonghai went home to get some wine, and followed Qin Huairu into the courtyard. Looking at the five rooms in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sighed: "Huairu! Before, your mother always said that there were too many people in the family and the house was not big enough. Now that we have this courtyard, you don't have to worry about the problem of not having enough room at home anymore."
Yi Zhonghai's words seemed to be for the good of the Jia family, but in fact they were harboring evil intentions. He was deliberately trying to alienate the relationship between Jia Dongming and the Jia family, which made Qin Huairu suddenly sense his sinister intentions.
In the past, if the two widows of the Jia family, with their three children, wanted to survive in this courtyard, they had to rely on Yi Zhonghai's help. Now that Jia Dongming is back and the Jia family has a pillar, Qin Huairu naturally no longer needs to rely on Yi Zhonghai.
Facing Yi Zhonghai's sinister intentions, Qin Huairu replied as she walked: "Uncle! Although you are the eldest son of the Jia family, this yard was allocated to you by the steel mill and has nothing to do with the four of us."
"But my uncle saw that Banggeng was already so old, and it was really inconvenient for him to live with us women, so he asked me to clean up a room for Banggeng to live in after dinner."
Qin Huairu said this, stretched out her hand to lift the curtain at the door, and shouted to the room: "Mom! Uncle! The first uncle is here!"
"Hey! Old Yan! Zhuzi! You are here too?" Yi Zhonghai followed Qin Huairu into the house carrying two bottles of wine. He saw Jia Dongming, who looked about 70% similar to him. He greeted the two of them with pretended surprise, and then smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Chief Jia! Hello! I am Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, and also the eldest uncle of this courtyard."
“I heard from my wife that you moved into our courtyard today, and you are the eldest son of the Jia family who has been lost to my sister-in-law for many years, so I came here specially to see you.”
Yi Zhonghai, who appears to be honest and fair, is an elder respected by the residents of the Siheyuan. But in fact, he is the most cunning person in the Siheyuan.
In order to provide for his retirement, Yi Zhonghai first accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice. However, he was worried that the existence of Jia Zhang would hinder his retirement plan, so he took Sha Zhu as a backup candidate for his retirement. Not only did he deliberately discredit He Daqing in front of Sha Zhu, he also secretly embezzled the child support that Sha Zhu's father, He Daqing, sent back to Sha Zhu and his sister.
After Jia Dongxu's death, he coveted Qin Huairu's beauty. On the one hand, he tried to match Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and on the other hand, he wanted to use Qin Huairu to bear a child. He used various means in the steel mill to try to force Qin Huairu to compromise, and then, under the pretext of helping the Jia family, he went into the city in the middle of the night with food to find Qin Huairu.
Jia Dongming looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was holding two bottles of wine and had a serious face. If he did not have a God's perspective, Jia Dongming would definitely be deceived by Yi Zhonghai's appearance.
Facing Yi Zhonghai's self-introduction, Jia Dongming greeted Yi Zhonghai enthusiastically, "Uncle! Hello! My mother and Huairu have just told me about your care and support for our Jia family over the years. Here, on behalf of our Jia family, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
At this point, Jia Dongming immediately ordered Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Go to the kitchen and get a bowl and chopsticks for Uncle Yi, and fry a few eggs. I will have a few drinks with Uncle Yi, Uncle San, and Brother Zhuzi tonight."
