Chapter 2195
Yi Zhonghai Tests His Old Partner
Does Yi Zhonghai really want Sha Zhu to be childless?
This is a question without an answer.
Judging from the outcome, he didn't want Shazhu to have children.
If Sha Zhu has a son, he might become disloyal. If he becomes disloyal, then he won't be able to properly care for him in his old age.
He definitely wouldn't be happy if Shazhu had a son.
Lou Xiao'e brought He Xiao back to the courtyard house, and Yi Zhonghai was the most angry at that time.
Yi Zhonghai, who is usually a nice guy, rarely loses his temper with Sha Zhu.
Although his stated reason was that he couldn't betray Qin Huairu, his real purpose was to prevent Sha Zhu from acknowledging He Xiao.
If He Xiao hadn't looked so much like Sha Zhu when they were kids, he probably would have lied to Sha Zhu and said that He Xiao wasn't Sha Zhu's son.
With his and Qin Huairu's combined abilities, they were very confident that they could convince Sha Zhu that what they said was true.
Even if Lou Xiao'e produces a paternity test, it won't be of any use.
In the courtyard house, nothing is as important as a single tear from Qin Huairu.
It was He Xiao's appearance that made it impossible for the two to lie, so they had no choice but to accept the fact that Sha Zhu had a son.
Yi Zhonghai's concerns were not unfounded.
Later, Shazhu did almost break free from his control.
Even though Sha Zhu listened to him so much back then, he was still unhappy that Sha Zhu had a son.
In his entire life, Yi Zhonghai wanted He Yuzhu to have no son.
When Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu's children, it was as if he were seeing an enemy.
It was precisely because of this that the He family's children, from childhood to adulthood, all avoided him, never giving him a chance to take advantage of them.
He Yuzhu now has a grandson, which makes Yi Zhonghai even more unable to accept, and he keeps cursing He Yuzhu.
She looked just like another Jia Zhangshi.
Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Liu Haizhong.
"Stop nagging about Sha Zhu. No matter how much you nag, he won't listen to you."
Yi Zhonghai said angrily, "I just can't understand how someone as disloyal and unfilial as him can live such a good life."
Yan Bugui was also angry with He Yuzhu, and said directly, "You don't understand. Building bridges and paving roads leaves no corpses, but murder and arson bring wealth."
"These good people never seem to have a good life."
Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement: "Old Yan hit the nail on the head."
That's a profound observation.
The old lady once said that he was the most suitable person for me to take care of.
The only person the old lady ever misjudged was Sha Zhu.
He and Yan Bugui, in their literary style, were criticizing He Yuzhu, which made Liu Haizhong very anxious.
He couldn't understand and couldn't respond.
Liu Haizhong interrupted, "You guys shouldn't be discussing Sha Zhu anymore."
What's the point of saying more?
"Could it help you, Old Yan, raise enough money for surgery, or could it help the Jia family pay off their debts?"
The two fell silent, secretly blaming Liu Haizhong for being tactless.
They complain about Sha Zhu just to feel better.
Liu Haizhong is an idiot; he doesn't understand anything.
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Old Yan, how much money can you borrow from your students?"
Yan Bugui immediately understood what Yi Zhonghai meant and quickly said, "Whether we can borrow the money or not is hard to say."
Everyone in our neighborhood knows that my child is unfilial.
They're afraid I won't pay them back, so they say nice things, but who knows how much they'll actually get.
Yi Zhonghai clearly wanted him to take out money to help the Jia family pay off their debts.
Who are the Jia family?
The courtyard house is famous for its "one-way entry, no-exit" policy.
He gave the money to the Jia family, which was like throwing good money after bad; he was definitely not going to get it back.
How could Yan Bugui be so stupid?
Yi Zhonghai stared at Yan Bugui, wanting to see if what he said was true or false.
However, after watching for a while, Yi Zhonghai was still unable to make a decision.
Yan Bugui was too shrewd; he had already made preparations to deal with the situation and it was impossible for him to see through his hand so easily.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to give up. "I know you all have some trump cards you haven't used yet."
If we continue to play petty tricks at this point, none of us will survive.
We must act like one family, sharing the same boat and overcoming these difficulties together.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui knew that Yi Zhonghai had ill intentions: "My family's money was all confiscated by the Industry and Commerce Bureau. If I had money, I would have paid for my wife's surgery long ago."
Liu Haizhong asked, "Old Yi, you're not planning to ask us to pay for it, are you?"
Our money has all been confiscated by fines, where am I supposed to get more?
Yi Zhonghai said, "Don't try to fool me. I know you must still have some savings."
My idea is to take out the money, pay for Lao Yan's wife's surgery, and help Huai Ru pay off her debts.
We'll figure out a way to get the money back later.
When Yan Bugui heard that he had to pay for the Third Aunt's medical expenses, he was instinctively a little impulsive, but he quickly calmed down.
Yi Zhonghai meant to force him to pay, not to let him take advantage of him.
Fearing that Liu Haizhong would be tricked and drag him down with him, Yan Bugui preemptively said, "Old Yi, if you have any ideas, just say them so we can discuss them."
If you have no idea, don't try.
This smuggling operation has resulted in heavy losses for all of us.
I have a little money left, just enough for living expenses.
Liu Haizhong didn't see through the hidden meaning, but he was also reluctant to spend too much money.
"Yes. Even if we take out all our money, we still won't be able to raise much."
If you have an idea, just say it.
Yi Zhonghai said, "What other ideas could I possibly have?"
That scoundrel Xu Damao not only refused to pay for it himself, but also encouraged the people in the compound to move.
The rest of us are also unwilling to contribute money.
What else can I do?
We can't just sell the house.
If we sell the house, where will we live?
I was just thinking, could you perhaps try to find your children and help us think of a solution?
Yi Zhonghai guessed that Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, like him, had some trump cards they were reluctant to use.
Forcing these two to reveal their hand would offend them.
Once these two turn against him, Qin Huairu's side will be in turmoil.
There will also be problems with elder care.
Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to abandon this idea and instead use other reasons.
Upon hearing his words, Liu Haizhong angrily said, "Don't mention those three beasts to him."
Since the incident, neither Guangtian nor Guangfu has shown their faces.
Guangqi only went once to pay my wife's medical bills.
I went to see him, and he threatened me, saying he wouldn't acknowledge me as his father anymore.
Yan Bugui also looked helpless: "My family members didn't avoid me. But as soon as money was mentioned, they all passed the buck."
If pushed too far, they'll disappear for days.
There's nothing I can do.
Yi Zhonghai was keeping a close eye on Yan Bugui. Liu Haizhong was telling the truth, but Yan Bugui's side was definitely exaggerating.
However, Yan Bugui was shrewd enough not to fall for it.
Ultimately, the discussions yielded no results.
Three people, each with their own ulterior motives, can never come up with a unified solution when they get together.
After Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui left, Qin Huairu ran into Yi Zhonghai's room.
"Zhonghai, I beg you, please think of something. If this continues, Yanling will run away with Wutong."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu warily: "I just discussed it with Lao Liu and Lao Yan, but they don't have any good ideas either."
Huairu, don't worry.
Yanling had a falling out with her family, and she had nowhere to go. She said she was going to leave with Wutong, but that was just to scare Banggeng.
Qin Huairu knew, of course, that Tang Yanling was just trying to scare Bang Geng.
She didn't really intend to repay the Tang family's money.
Why should I repay money I borrowed through my own abilities?
Besides, it wasn't like she borrowed it. (End of Chapter)
