Chapter 54 Yi Zhonghai’s plan!
Chapter 54 Yi Zhonghai’s plan!
When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's words and saw his envious expression, he said to him, "Zhuzi! I only dare to go hunting in the mountains because I am good at shooting. If hunting was really that easy, I'm afraid everyone would go hunting in the mountains."
When Sha Zhu heard what Jia Dongming said, he nodded in agreement and replied, "Brother Dongming! You are right. I thought things were too simple."
When Sha Zhu said this, he gently touched the wine glass in his hand with the wine glass in Jia Dongming's hand and drank the wine in the glass.
Although Jia Dongming had agreed to give Jia Zhangshi ten yuan a month as retirement money, Jia Zhangshi thought about Qin Huairu's future salary and reminded her, "Huairu! The retirement money Dongming gave to mom is Dongming's way of showing respect to me. You can't stop giving me retirement money just because Dongming has given me retirement money. So just give me five yuan a month as you said before."
In the past, Qin Huairu gave Jia Zhangshi three dollars a month for pension, and used the rest of the money to manage the household, so she didn't have much money left every month. Now Jia Dongming is responsible for all the household affairs. Not only has her salary increased, but she also doesn't have to manage the household. Even if she gives Jia Zhangshi five dollars a month, the money she has left is even higher than her previous salary.
Faced with Jia Zhang's request, Qin Huairu naturally did not resist, and quickly promised Jia Zhang: "Mom! From now on, I will give you five dollars a month for your retirement."
After Yi Zhonghai finished his dinner at home, he came to the door of the deaf old lady in the backyard, knocked on the door, and asked politely: "Old lady! Are you asleep?"
"It's Zhonghai! I'm not asleep, please come in!" As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished asking, the deaf old lady's slow response came from the room.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the deaf old lady's response, he immediately opened the door and walked into her room. Seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed, he asked with a smile, "Old lady! Did the sister-in-law of the Jia family send you wild boar meat in the evening?"
The deaf old lady was a very shrewd person. When she heard Yi Zhonghai shouting outside the door, she had already guessed why Yi Zhonghai came to see her so late.
When the deaf old lady heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she thought of how proud Jia Zhang was when she sent her meat in the evening, and she couldn't help but sigh: "The girl from the Zhang family used to pretend to be poor and take advantage of others in this courtyard. Since her eldest son came back, she has become a different person and is willing to send meat to the residents in the courtyard."
When Yi Zhonghai heard the deaf old lady's comments on Jia Zhangshi and thought of the purpose of his visit, he immediately asked the deaf old lady, "Old lady! Tell me, if we let Jia Dongming take care of us in our old age, do you think Jia Dongming will agree?"
When the deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai's question and saw his expectant expression, she answered, "Zhonghai! From Jia Dongming's action of asking Jia Zhang to deliver meat to the neighbors in our courtyard, we can see that Jia Dongming is a very grateful child. Otherwise, he would never give out so much meat to give away."
"As for your idea of asking Jia Dongming to take care of you in your old age, I advise you to give up this unrealistic idea. Although Jia Dongming knows how to be grateful, he is not like Jia Dongxu, who can let you control him at will. So I think Zhuzi is the most suitable person to take care of you in your old age."
After hearing the deaf old lady's analysis, Yi Zhonghai thought that it would be difficult to let Jia Dongming take care of him in his old age, but he was not optimistic about Sha Zhu. He even thought that the deaf old lady favored Sha Zhu and suggested that he choose Sha Zhu as his old age care candidate.
With this thought in mind, Yi Zhonghai immediately reminded the deaf old lady: "Old lady! I'm not saying that Sha Zhu is not good, but you must not forget that Sha Zhu's father He Daqing is still alive. Although He Daqing has run away with the widow now, none of us can guarantee whether He Daqing will come back in the future." "On the other hand, Jia Dongming was separated from the Jia family when he was very young. He just got to know Jia Zhang and he has to bear the burden of the Jia family. In addition, Jia Dongming is also the security chief of the steel rolling mill, and his monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. If Jia Dongming is willing to support us in our old age, we don't have to worry about him not having money to support us in the future."
When the deaf old lady heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she thought of Jia Zhang's character and asked Yi Zhonghai, "Zhonghai! Do you think Jia Zhang is willing to let Jia Dongming take care of you in your old age?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard the deaf old lady mention Jia Zhangshi, he answered without thinking: "Old lady! If Jia Zhangshi didn't agree to take care of me in my old age, she wouldn't have asked Jia Dongxu to be my disciple. Besides, if Jia Zhangshi doesn't agree, I have plenty of ways to control her."
When the deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai's answer, she thought of Jia Zhang's ability, smiled and shook her head, and replied: "Zhonghai! If you really think Jia Zhang is someone you can manipulate at will, then you are very wrong."
"If it weren't for the fact that Jia Zhang was worried about the people in the courtyard and wanted to find a backer in the courtyard, given Jia Zhang's character, do you really think that Jia Zhang would be willing to let Jia Dongxu take care of you in your old age?"
"In the past, the mother and son of the Jia family relied on your help, so Jia Zhangshi would let you control her. Now the eldest brother of the Jia family is back, and he is the security department of the steel rolling mill. The Jia family has truly established itself in our courtyard. Do you think Jia Zhangshi will still let you control her like before?"
After hearing the deaf old lady's analysis and thinking about Jia Zhang's character, Yi Zhonghai quickly fell into deep thought. It was not until a long time later that Yi Zhonghai recovered from his deep thought and replied unwillingly: "Old lady! Let me think about this matter carefully. I will go back first and will not disturb your rest."
The deaf old lady watched Yi Zhonghai walk out of her house, and couldn't help shaking her head, muttering to herself: "Everyone in this courtyard thinks that the girl from the Zhang family is an ignorant rural woman, but who knows that the girl from the Zhang family is an ignorant rural woman on the surface, but in fact she is a very shrewd woman."
As Yi Zhonghai walked into the central courtyard, he saw Sha Zhu coming out of the other courtyard with He Yushui, holding a piece of meat in his hand.
Seeing Sha Zhu and his sister, Yi Zhonghai immediately asked Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi! How did you and Yu Shui come out of Dong Ming's house?"
When Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai coming back from the backyard and heard Yi Zhonghai's question, he smiled and introduced him to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle! Didn't Brother Dongming bring back half a pig's meat today? He asked me to help him process the pig's meat and invited me and Yushui to have dinner at his house."
"After dinner at Brother Dongming's house, I planned to help him stew the offal and wild boar's head, but I found out that Brother Dongming didn't have any seasoning for stewing meat, so I went home to get some."
After hearing Sha Zhu's introduction, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered the topic he had just discussed with the deaf old lady. He suddenly had an idea and said to Sha Zhu with a smile, "Zhuzi! You also know that the old lady has bad teeth. After you help Dongming stew the wild boar's head, see if you can ask Dongming for some wild boar meat to give to the old lady as a snack."
When Sha Zhu heard Yi Zhonghai's order, he didn't think much about it and answered, "Uncle! Brother Dongming told me that after the wild boar head and offal are ready, he will give me some. Then I will ask Brother Dongming for some pig head meat and send it to the old lady."
