Chapter 363 Yan Bugui plots against Yi Zhonghai!
When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai coming out of the house, he noticed the oil stains on Yi Zhonghai's mouth at first glance and immediately realized that Yi Zhonghai must have just eaten meat at home.
When Yan Bugui, who loved to take advantage of others, found out that there was meat at Yi Zhonghai's house, he immediately had an idea and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi! This is not the place to talk. Why don't we go to your room and talk?"
Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui's reaction completely, which made him even more certain that Yan Bugui must have known that their family sold meat and deliberately came to him during dinner time.
Facing Yan Bugui's proposal, Yi Zhonghai felt secretly relieved in his heart. He smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan! Then please come in!"
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai's invitation, he immediately walked quickly into Yi Zhonghai's house and saw an old lady sitting at the dining table eating, with stir-fried cabbage and a few steamed buns made of two-grain flour on the table.
Seeing that there was no meat on the table as he had imagined, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi! I just heard from our Xie Cheng that the steel mill is planning to expand its recruitment. Is this true?"
Yi Zhonghai had seen all of Yan Bugui's reactions when he first walked into the room. Seeing Yan Bugui's disappointed expression, Yi Zhonghai felt secretly proud in his heart and replied, "Old Yan! When I was in the workshop at noon, I heard my co-workers mention this matter, but I'm not sure if it's true or not. After all, I'm just an ordinary worker in the workshop."
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai say that he was an ordinary worker, he immediately complimented Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi! This is really too modest. You are now a seventh-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, which belongs to the sequence of senior workers. How could you be an ordinary worker?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui's compliment, he immediately guessed Yan Bugui's purpose and replied modestly: "Old Yan! Whether they are low-level workers or high-level workers, they are all working class, so you must never say such class distinctions again in the future."
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai's reminder and thought of the real reason why he came to see Yi Zhonghai, he quickly said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi! You are the master chef of the steel mill. When the steel mill expands, you master chefs will definitely have recruitment quotas. Look at our Jiefang. Can you help us get Jiefang to work in the steel mill?"
Yi Zhonghai originally thought that Yan Bugui was eyeing their pork head and wanted to take advantage of them. Now, after hearing what Yan Bugui said, Yi Zhonghai realized that Yan Bugui not only had his eyes on their meat, but also wanted to get something for nothing by asking him to find a job for Yan Jiecheng.
Yan Bugui's behavior really disgusted Yi Zhonghai and made him feel very dissatisfied. However, as a moral gentleman, Yi Zhonghai did not show his dissatisfaction on his face. Instead, he smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan! You think too highly of me. I am just a worker in the steel mill. How could the factory allocate work quotas to me? If you want to find a job for Jie Cheng, you should go to the street office."
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai's suggestion, he thought of what he had been planning in his heart, and then said to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi! Since Dongxu passed away, you and your sister-in-law must have been worried about who will take care of you in your old age, right?"
"My idea is this. After all, our Jie Cheng graduated from junior high school. He must be much better than Dong Xu in terms of locksmith knowledge. Why don't you take this opportunity to accept our Jie Cheng as your apprentice and let Jie Cheng take care of you in your old age? What do you think?"
Although Yan Bugui's behavior made Yi Zhonghai feel disgusted, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction in order to maintain his image. Now that he saw that the Yan family was planning to take his and his wife's property, Yi Zhonghai was immediately broken. Yi Zhonghai looked at the self-righteous Yan Bugui in front of him and asked him with dissatisfaction: "Old Yan! Do you think I, Yi Zhonghai, am a fool? You want to get something for nothing and find a job for your Yan Jiecheng, but you even interrupted our plan. Do you think I, Yi Zhonghai, am a fool?"
Yan Bugui became anxious when he heard Yi Zhonghai's question, and said to him, "Old Yi! What you said is not right. It has been a natural thing for disciples to provide for their masters in their old age. As long as you accept our Jie Cheng as your disciple, our Jie Cheng should provide for you in your old age. How could I take you for a fool?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui's confident answer, he was not only broken by Yan Bugui's defense, but also laughed at his words. He looked at the self-righteous Yan Bugui in front of him and reminded him, "Old Yan! Yan Jiecheng is the eldest brother of your Yan family. You let Yan Jiecheng take care of us old couple in our old age. Aren't you afraid that your Yan family ancestors will come up from below to cause trouble for you?"
"Also, Yu Li's father was sick and hospitalized not long ago and needed money, but Yan Jiecheng didn't pay a penny and was even unwilling to go to the hospital to visit Yu Li's father. If I let Yan Jiecheng take care of my old age, do you think your Yan Jiecheng will come to take care of us when we are lying in bed and need someone to take care of us in the future?"
"Also, as a neighbor living in the same compound, I would like to advise you to be less calculating and more caring towards your own children. Don't be so calculating that you even calculate away the family affection. As for asking Yan Jiecheng to take care of me in my old age, let alone taking care of me, even if it is for you, his biological father, to take care of me in my old age, I don't think it will happen given Yan Jiecheng's selfish character."
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai's reminder, he thought about his boss's character and felt that Yi Zhonghai's reminder was not unreasonable. However, in order to maintain his own face, Yan Bugui replied against his will: "Old Yi! Although Jie Cheng is stingy, he is definitely not a person without filial piety."
When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui's answer, he felt that he was guilty, so he reminded him, "Old Yan! I'm not saying anything bad about you. Under normal circumstances, you raised me when I was young, and I will take care of you when you are old. This is a matter of course. But for your own calculations, you made the children in your family pay for food, pay for accommodation, and pay for wear and tear on their bicycles."
“When you are old, your children will follow your example and ask you to pay for their food. If you are sick and need care, they will ask you to pay for lost wages, nursing fees, and other expenses. So instead of trying to get me to find a job for your Yan Jiecheng for free, you might as well go home and think carefully about who will take care of you in your old age among your four children.”
When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai's reminder and thought of his own child's personality, he was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he really wanted to refute, but he could not find a reason to refute. Until a moment later, he walked towards the door with a worried look on his face.
Yi Zhonghai watched Yan Bugui leave his house with a worried look on his face, a mocking look flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself unhappily: "This old man Yan! It would have been fine if I hadn't plotted against him, but I didn't expect that he would plot against me."
An old lady nearby saw what had just happened and said to Yi Zhonghai with some concern: "Boss! Wasn't what you just said to Yan Bugui a bit too harsh? After all, the Yan family has four children. It's impossible that all the children are like Yan Jiecheng, a selfish guy, right?"
When Yi Zhonghai heard Auntie's question, he thought of the four children of the Yan family. First, a flash of contempt flashed across his eyes, and then an expression of unwillingness appeared. He said to Auntie, "Wife! Among the children in our courtyard, the most filial one is Jia Dongming from the Jia family. As for Old Liu and Old Yan, based on my understanding of their children, I think it will be difficult for them to let their children take care of them in their old age."
