Chapter 2251
Jin Qihao Wants to Buy a House
Originally, Jin Qihao looked down on He Yuzhu.
No matter how skilled a cook is, he's still just a cook.
There's no way they could compare to someone with his advanced experience.
But when Jin Qihao heard that He Yuzhu was the son-in-law of a high-ranking leader, he became a little hesitant.
This is China, after all. He's just a foreign businessman from Taiwan; he might not be able to beat a local tyrant like He Yuzhu.
Jin Qihao has already made a boastful statement; he can't give up so easily.
"Whose son-in-law is he?"
The scene fell silent.
All three old men knew that whether Jin Qihao would deal with He Yuzhu depended on this news.
Once Jin Qihao becomes afraid, their plan to use him to deal with He Yuzhu will fall through.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and pretended not to care.
“His father-in-law is now a retired old man and doesn’t care about anything anymore.”
Before mentioning Lin Zhijie's name, Yi Zhonghai instinctively downplayed Lin Zhijie's status.
This was also to reassure Jin Qihao so that he could deal with He Yuzhu without hesitation.
"Just tell him his name."
Yi Zhonghai exchanged a glance with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui before revealing Lin Zhijie's name.
Upon hearing this, Jin Qihao's face showed surprise: "The Lin Zhijie you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be that Lin Zhijie, would you?"
"It's him." Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to bite the bullet and name Lin Zhijie.
At the same time, he carefully observed Jin Qihao's expression.
The other two old men, along with Qin Huairu, also carefully sized up Jin Qihao.
They all wanted to know what Jin Qihao was really thinking.
They were even more afraid that Jin Qihao would leave as soon as he heard Lin Zhijie's name.
If that happens, not only will their plan to take revenge on He Yuzhu fall through, but they might also end up with nothing at all.
This is a huge gamble for them.
Qi Hao, who gambles money, is a filial son who would disregard He Yuzhu's background for the sake of the deaf old lady's revenge.
Jin Qihao froze on the spot after confirming Lin Zhijie's identity.
He wasn't afraid; he was just thinking about the old days.
He and Lin Chih-chieh had a verbal exchange back then.
Just when Yi Zhonghai and the others thought that Jin Qihao would be scared away, Jin Qihao burst into laughter.
This left Yi Zhonghai and the others very puzzled, and some even suspected that Jin Qihao had been frightened into madness.
"So it was him." Jin Qihao said with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai asked cautiously, "Do you know Lin Zhijie?"
Jin Qihao was unwilling to talk about his past, so he gave a vague explanation.
"I've heard of him before. How did his daughter meet Sha Zhu?"
Yi Zhonghai looked regretful. He never expected that He Yuzhu, who was stingy in the nursing home, would donate money to the nursing home.
He never imagined that he would meet Lin Jinghan because of the donation.
Yi Zhonghai believes that without this incident, He Yuzhu would not have achieved his current success.
At most, He Yuzhu runs a small restaurant on the street.
That would give him many more opportunities to deal with He Yuzhu.
"They met at a nursing home..."
Yi Zhonghai did not hide anything and told Jin Qihao everything he knew.
"I estimate that Lin Jinghan's status in the Lin family is not very high."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have left her alone in Beijing and married her off to Sha Zhu.
Influenced by Yi Zhonghai and his group, Jin Qihao came to regard He Yuzhu as a cook who only knew how to cook.
"It's probably because he's a good cook."
Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, then suddenly realized: "That's right. It's because he's a good cook that Lin Jinghan married him."
Even in a famine, a cook won't starve.
During those years, Lin Jinghan lived a pretty good life with Sha Zhu.
This brings us to Yan Bugui's area of expertise. Yan Bugui couldn't help but interject, "It's more than just good. When others can't even afford cornbread, Sha Zhu's family can still eat meat."
He must have used this to curry favor with Lin Jinghan.
Seeing that both of them had spoken, Liu Haizhong felt that if he didn't speak up, he would seem rather useless.
He said, "Shazhu is just a gigolo."
From Jin Qihao's perspective, Yi Zhonghai and the other two looked down on He Yuzhu, so He Yuzhu naturally couldn't be considered capable.
"You can't even handle this one lousy cook?"
The three old men all blushed a little.
They didn't want to admit it, but the truth was they really couldn't deal with He Yuzhu.
Since 1951, they have fought with He Yuzhu countless times, but they have never gained the upper hand against him.
Seeing that the three people were in a bit of an awkward situation, Qin Huairu stepped forward to help them out.
"It's not that we can't deal with him, it's just that Sha Zhu is too good at fighting."
Seven or eight people couldn't beat him.
We were afraid he might try something underhanded with the old lady, so we didn't dare to confront him.
“Yes. We’re afraid he might harm the old lady.” The three people quickly agreed after hearing Qin Huairu’s explanation.
Jin Qihao was still hoping that the three of them would deal with He Yuzhu, so he didn't continue to make things difficult for them.
"Let's not talk about the past. Sha Zhu did such a terrible thing to my mother. If I don't take revenge on him, I'll be unworthy of being a son."
Brother Yi, I hope you can help me.
Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed; he had done so much just to hear those words.
He said excitedly, "Qi Hao, I am definitely willing to help the old lady get revenge."
But Sha Zhu has money and connections. Can you deal with him?
If you're not confident, I advise you not to make a move for now.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.
Jin Qihao smiled and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry. I'm not going to kill him."
My goal is to deal with him financially and make him penniless.
This is normal business dealings; the government won't interfere.
Yi Zhonghai hadn't originally intended to kill He Yuzhu, and was very satisfied upon hearing this plan.
“Alright, I’ll go all out. The old lady treated me like her godson, and I, her godson, will avenge her before I die.”
Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Qin Huairu also expressed their determination to avenge the deaf old lady.
Jin Qihao was very satisfied with the three people's attitude: "Tell me about your situation."
"This courtyard is so big, how come there are only a few of you?"
Yi Zhonghai then briefly explained what had happened in the hospital.
"Shazhu and his gang sold the house to He Guoqiang. He Guoqiang is a petty thug, and the neighbors were afraid of offending him, so they didn't want to live in the yard."
We had no choice but to stay here, even though we were forced to.
Upon hearing this, Jin Qihao laughed disdainfully: "You've been fooled. This must be Sha Zhu's conspiracy."
They deliberately sold the house to He Guoqiang, hoping he would scare you away.
If you want to move out, he can buy the house for very little money.
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "I guessed it too. But they have money and manpower, and we old guys can't afford to mess with them."
Jin Qihao said dismissively, "Don't worry, I have money too."
I would like to ask you to find those people and then buy the house back.
This house, in fact, is the ancestral property of our Jin family.
I absolutely cannot watch it be bought by my enemy.
Yi Zhonghai never expected that Jin Qihao's first priority would be to buy a house.
However, this was very advantageous to them, so they immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll have Banggeng contact those people tomorrow."
Jin Qihao sized up Bang Geng: "You must be Bang Geng. Start working for me tomorrow, and I'll give you five thousand yuan a month."
Find a few more people to help me run errands.
Qin Huairu was overjoyed and immediately agreed on Bang Geng's behalf. (End of Chapter)
