Chapter 22: Advice from the deaf old lady!

The reason why Yi Zhonghai chose to let Jia Dongxu take care of him in his old age was because he valued Jia Dongxu's filial piety to Jia Zhang. As for whether Jia Zhang agreed to Jia Dongxu taking care of him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai didn't care at all, because he believed that with his own means, it would be easy for him to deal with Jia Zhang.

However, man proposes, God disposes. What Yi Zhonghai could never have imagined was that a mechanical accident at the steel mill directly led to Jia Dongxu's death from work-related injuries, completely ruining the retirement plan that Yi Zhonghai had been planning for many years.

After hearing the deaf old lady's advice and thinking about his investment in the Jia family over the years, Yi Zhonghai said to her unwillingly, "Old lady! I have devoted all my efforts to the Jia family over the years. I really feel a little unwilling to let you give up the Jia family just like that."

The deaf old lady was a witty, tactful and wise old lady, otherwise she would not have been able to survive in these turbulent times. She knew Yi Zhonghai's character very well. If she didn't really need someone to take care of her daily life, she would not have cared about Yi Zhonghai's affairs at all.

The deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai's words and felt his unwillingness, so she persuaded him, "Zhonghai! As soon as the eldest son of the Jia family came back, he proposed to return all the money donated to the Jia family to the residents of the courtyard. This is obviously unwilling to have too many entanglements with the residents of the courtyard. If you keep staring at the Jia family, I'm afraid it will not be worth it."

"On the other hand, it's different for Sha Zhuzi. Although He Daqing is still alive, he doesn't dare to return to the city because of his class background. You just need to be nice to Sha Zhuzi and find him a wife. Given Sha Zhuzi's personality, are you still afraid that he won't provide for you in your old age?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that among the younger generation in the orphanage, the deaf old lady liked Sha Zhu the most. It was for this reason that the deaf old lady gave him advice, which enabled him to successfully get rid of He Daqing.

After hearing the deaf old lady's advice and thinking of Sha Zhu's reckless character, Yi Zhonghai said to the deaf old lady in a distracted manner: "Old lady! Let me think about this matter carefully!"

When the deaf old lady heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she thought of what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, and reminded him, "Zhonghai! In the past, the Jia family only had Zhang girl and Qin Huairu. If you want to control the Jia family, it's naturally easy."

"Now the eldest son of the Jia family is back, and he is also the head of the security department of the steel mill. If you continue to scheme against the Jia family as you did in the past, you will definitely be the one who suffers in the end. After all, the people should not fight against the officials!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the deaf old lady's reminder, he remembered the first impression Jia Dongming gave him, and said to the deaf old lady in a distracted manner: "Old lady! I'm going back first, you should go to bed early."

Just as Yi Zhonghai was leaving the deaf old lady's house in a state of dismay, Jia Zhang looked at the money Jia Dongming took out of his bag and said to him unwillingly, "Dongming! Are you really going to return all this money to those people in the hospital?"

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question and saw her unwilling expression, he knew what she was thinking. In order to change Jia Zhang's old habit of greed, Jia Dongming said firmly, "Mom! I am now the head of the security department at the steel mill. My power is as great as that of Director Yang and Deputy Director Li."

"I believe you saw the performance of the second and third uncles during dinner tonight, right? Based on the first impression these two gave me, I am sure they will come to me in the future and even ask me to arrange jobs for their children."

"If we return the money donated by the residents in advance, even if the residents ask me for help, we can do what we can. If we don't return it, the residents will ask me for help. If I help them, I may make a principled mistake. If I don't help, I will be labeled as an ungrateful person. So what do you think, should we return the money or not?" Jia Zhang was greedy, but she was not stupid at all. On the contrary, she was a little shrewd. Thinking of the price of buying a job, Jia Zhang replied indignantly: "Dongming! I heard that it costs at least three hundred yuan to buy an apprenticeship position, and six hundred to eight hundred yuan for a formal job."

"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui actually planned to use the little money they donated to ask you for work targets. It's impossible. So we have to return the money donated by the hospital to our family, and we have to return it immediately."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said and saw her indignant expression, he asked her with a half-smile, "Mom! How much money do you plan to pay back to the residents in the courtyard?"

When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming asking her to pay, her indignant voice stopped immediately, and she said to Jia Dongming with a face full of resentment: "Dongming! That's my retirement money, you must not have any idea of taking my money."

Seeing Jia Zhang's face full of resentment because she was afraid to pay, Jia Dongming almost couldn't help laughing, and then said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! I'll pay for you, don't look at me like that, I'll go buy some things tomorrow, and when Yi Zhonghai convenes a meeting of the whole courtyard tomorrow night, we'll return the money to the residents in the courtyard."

For Jia Zhang, as long as she was not allowed to take money out of her own small treasury, other things would not be a problem. When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she nodded and said, "Okay! Dongming! Mom will listen to you."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said, he thought of Qin Huairu who was still cleaning the room, and said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! Let's go see if Huairu has cleaned Banggeng's room. If she has, you should go back to bed!"

At this moment, Bang Geng looked at the bright room in front of him, and he was so happy in his heart. When he saw Jia Dongming and Jia Zhangshi, he shouted to them happily: "Grandma! Uncle! Come and see my room."

Jia Zhang looked at the tidied house in front of her and said to Bang Geng with a kind face, "My dear grandson! From today on, you finally have your own room. You don't have to squeeze into the same room with grandma, your mother, those two, and your sister anymore."

Jia Dongming looked at the excited Banggeng and thought of this guy's characteristics in the plot. In order to give him a correct outlook on life, Jia Dongming reminded him seriously, "Banggeng! Your wish to live in a room by yourself has been fulfilled by your uncle. You must study hard in the future. If I find out that you are not studying hard, you will move back to live with your grandma and her family."

Banggeng, who was in an excited state, nodded obediently upon hearing Jia Dongming's reminder and assured Jia Dongming: "Uncle! Don't worry, I promise I will study hard in the future."
