Chapter 2291
Opposition in Liu Haizhong
Yi Zhonghai wants to help the residents of the nursing home retire together.
This is not a secret.
But it's astonishing that he still wants to take those little shrimps in the yard with him in his old age.
Yi Zhonghai had not shared this idea with anyone else before, so Liu Haizhong was unaware of it.
After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he tried to interrupt several times, but Yi Zhonghai stopped him each time.
After Geng Guangjian left, Liu Haizhong could no longer hold back.
"Old Yi, are you confused? Geng Guangjian and his ilk have no filial piety towards us whatsoever."
Why do you want to drag them into retirement together?
"Old Liu, don't worry. I have my reasons for doing this. You can trust me."
Yi Zhonghai has many things he can't say to others.
Although retirement seems to be on the right track now, his worries have not lessened much.
Money is no longer a concern, but the issue of caring for the elderly cannot be ignored.
Ultimately, it's because Yi Zhonghai doesn't trust the Jia family.
Yi Zhonghai was not unaware of the Jia family's personalities.
He simply had no choice.
Compared to the other people in the courtyard, the Jia family were the easiest to control.
If Yi Zhonghai wants to retire, he can only choose the Jia family.
Choosing the Jia family doesn't mean Yi Zhonghai can be completely at ease.
He needed to prepare several methods to make it easier to control the Jia family.
Teaming up with Liu Haizhong and the other person is one tactic.
But teaming up with these two people is not a safe bet.
Only by uniting everyone in the hospital can Yi Zhonghai feel a little more at ease.
With his three uncles in charge and other neighbors keeping watch, Yi Zhonghai was at most 80% confident.
As for the remaining 20%, Yi Zhonghai will never be satisfied.
Even with Sha Zhu backing him up, Yi Zhonghai wasn't 100% confident.
Now that Sha Zhu, that sucker, is no longer around, Yi Zhonghai feels he has an 80% chance of success.
He's rich now and in good health, so the Jia family doesn't dare to resist.
Once he's bedridden and unable to move, Yi Zhonghai can't guarantee anything.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were about the same age as him, and at that time they were not reliable.
Yi Zhonghai felt that the only people he could count on were people like Geng Guangjian.
At that time, Geng Guangjian's neighbors would definitely have fought desperately to protect him for their own interests.
The longer he lives, the longer the people in the courtyard can enjoy their good fortune.
As for the Liu brothers and the Yan brothers, they were not even on Yi Zhonghai's radar.
Those people had long been labeled as unfilial by Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai feared that one day these people would incite the gangsters to throw him under the bridge.
He didn't dare tell Liu Haizhong what he was thinking, nor did he know how to say it.
We can't exactly tell Liu Haizhong that he doesn't believe Qin Huairu.
If you don't even trust the elderly care providers you personally found, wouldn't that make you a laughing stock?
At the same time, Yi Zhonghai was also worried that speaking out would cause a split in their small group.
Liu Haizhong, however, wasn't buying it: "What are your considerations? Tell me."
How would I know if you don't tell me?
Anyway, I don't want those people to come back.
We have such a good life now.
Guangtian, Guangfu, and Banggeng, including Lao Yan's three children, are all very filial.
When talking about these filial children, Yi Zhonghai curled his lips, clearly disagreeing with Liu Haizhong's words.
You can't tell from Liu Haizhong's hair, but Yi Zhonghai knows these kids very well, and only Bang Geng is somewhat believable.
Don't even think about the others.
However, he did not expose him.
At this time, Liu Guangtian and his brother were indeed filial. If you were to say that they were not filial, Liu Haizhong would definitely turn hostile.
Yi Zhonghai earnestly advised, "Old Liu, I know we're living a good life now."
But one shouldn't be too selfish.
In the past, when we were in charge, we expected everyone to help each other. And everyone did.
Liu Haizhong said with dissatisfaction, "Don't give me those grand theories."
What did they accomplish?
When asked to help Qin Huairu, they drag their feet and are reluctant to contribute, only offering a small amount of money.
You may have forgotten, but I haven't.
Old Yi, take my advice, don't be a pushover.
Yi Zhonghai said helplessly, "How am I considered a pushover?"
As the saying goes, geese leave their calls as they fly by, and people leave their names as they pass through life.
We're all over eighty years old, how many more years can we live?
I just wanted to leave behind a good reputation before we die. Is that wrong?
Didn't Sha Zhu say I was a hypocrite?
I did this to show Shazhu that I'm not that kind of person.
"But we can't be taken advantage of." Liu Haizhong's objection was much softer at this point.
Only Yi Zhonghai's three uncles truly know how much damage the reputation of being a hypocrite has done to him.
Ever since Yi Zhonghai was labeled a hypocrite by He Yuzhu, he has lost his confidence when speaking in the alley.
Liu Haizhong knew that Yi Zhonghai was very unwilling to bear this reputation.
Yi Zhonghai was furious at the reputation of being a hypocrite, and he had no liking for the reputation of being a sucker either.
He kindly helped the Jia family, but was falsely accused of being a sucker and forming a clique.
This was seen by Yi Zhonghai as a great disgrace.
He wished he could grab a megaphone and tell his neighbors in the alley that he wasn't a sucker.
Everything he did was for good.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yi Zhonghai glared at him, displeased.
When Liu Haizhong pointed out a sore spot, Yi Zhonghai's tone became unpleasant.
Liu Haizhong sensed that Yi Zhonghai's tone was unpleasant, but he didn't know what he had said wrong.
"Isn't what I said true? If you want to do good deeds, I support you."
Old Zhang from the next alley is deaf. I heard that getting a hearing aid will help him hear again.
"We could buy him a hearing aid."
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, what does Old Zhang next door have to do with him?
What benefit will helping Old Zhang in his retirement come from?
No, not at all.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't refuse outright, so he could only say, "Old Zhang has his own children."
If the other child doesn't say anything, and we go to help, wouldn't that be slapping the child in the face?
I'm talking about issues within our department; please don't ramble on.
Hearing that Yi Zhonghai was getting anxious again, Liu Haizhong felt very helpless.
"I just don't understand. They came here to buy houses. Once they bought their houses, they could just ask them to move out."
Why do you insist on letting them stay and supporting them?
Yi Zhonghai brandished the moral cudgel: "I'm doing this for the sake of the rules in our institute."
When we were the managers, we told everyone in the courtyard that we should help each other.
Now that we're prosperous, we must keep our word.
"If we don't do it, wouldn't we be as heartless as Sha Zhu?"
To be honest, if Liu Haizhong has no conscience, so be it. What's the value of a conscience? Would it be enough to make him a leader?
Judging from Yi Zhonghai's demeanor, it simply doesn't make sense.
Liu Haizhong was at a loss for words: "Does Qin Huairu know?"
Geng Guangjian and the others are not much older than Huai Ru.
We can't expect Huairu to take care of them.
That would exhaust Huairu to death.
That's the right thing to say.
Yi Zhonghai was worried that Qin Huairu would not agree, and he had not yet figured out how to tell her.
"This is what I'm thinking. If we bring them over, we can ask them to help Huairu."
In this way, Huairu will have a helper and won't have to take care of so many elderly people by herself.
As for the children, we don't need to worry about them.
They can focus all their energy on running the restaurant and try to bankrupt Sha Zhu's restaurant as soon as possible.
Unable to find a reason to persuade Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong could only say, "Then let's wait for Lao Yan to return and have him talk to him." (End of Chapter)
