Chapter 2292
Persuading Liu Qin
"What should Old Yan say?"
Yan Bugui did not appear, but Qin Huairu did.
Seeing Geng Guangjian leave, Qin Huairu wanted to ask Yi Zhonghai about the outcome.
However, she also had to take care of her grandson, so she had to put it aside for the time being.
Just as she had calmed her grandson down, Qin Huairu came to find Yi Zhonghai and happened to overhear Liu Haizhong's words.
When Liu Haizhong saw Qin Huairu arrive, he immediately told her what Yi Zhonghai had said.
"Huai Ru, tell me, do you support me or Lao Yi?"
Qin Huairu secretly supports Liu Haizhong.
From her perspective, it was only right that the people in the hospital helped them.
One should live without expecting anything in return.
People who seek rewards are not good people.
However, Qin Huairu dared not verbally support Liu Haizhong.
Yi Zhonghai helped and supported her not because of her beauty, but because of her filial piety and gratitude.
If she says she'll ignore those people in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai will probably turn against her.
Now, the children of the Yan and Liu families have become Yi Zhonghai's dogs, all for the money in Yi Zhonghai's hands.
She was no longer Yi Zhonghai's only option.
Qin Huairu gave a response that avoided offending either side.
"Old Liu, you're right. When we were in trouble, our neighbors in the courtyard ignored us completely."
Logically speaking, even if we ignore them, no one can say anything.
but……"
At first, Liu Haizhong was quite proud when he heard Qin Huairu support him.
He knew that what was about to be said would be detrimental to him.
"What else is there to regret? You may not remember, but I remember it very clearly. When my wife was hospitalized, not a single one of those people helped."
They all moved with Xu Damao.
Yi Zhonghai was somewhat unhappy, and even more worried that Qin Huairu would be ungrateful.
Admittedly, some of the neighbors in the courtyard did wrong, but that's all in the past.
Qin Huairu shouldn't dwell on the past.
Yi Zhonghai still felt somewhat guilty. After all, he had done many dishonorable things in order to control the Jia family back then.
Although his intentions were good, he was afraid that Qin Huairu would not understand.
Yi Zhonghai is now watching Qin Huairu closely to see what she will say.
If Qin Huairu shows any signs of ingratitude, he will have to carefully consider how to deal with the Jia family next.
Qin Huai glanced at Yi Zhonghai and her heart skipped a beat.
She's been with Yi Zhonghai for so many years, she knows him very well.
She knew that what Yi Zhonghai cared about most was her filial piety and gratitude.
If he fails to do so, Yi Zhonghai will absolutely turn against him without hesitation.
"Old Liu, don't worry. They've done things wrong, but we can't follow their example."
If we learn from them, wouldn't we be just like them?
Actually, I've already discussed it with Banggeng.
Our family used to have a hard life, and we were very grateful for the help from the people in the compound.
We're considered wealthy now.
I told Banggeng that he should bring gifts to visit them during holidays and festivals.
However, my considerations are not as comprehensive as Lao Yi's.
If everyone lived together, it would be more convenient to take care of each other.
I support Lao Yi.
Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction.
Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Haizhong said, "Have you thought this through? Our housing situation is already very tight. My sister-in-law is still living in a temporary house."
They should be allowed to live in the house again, but the old woman will have to continue living in the temporary shelter.
Qin Huairu had also considered this issue, so she followed Liu Haizhong's words and pretended to be helpless.
"I...sigh...I guess I'll just have to put up with my mother-in-law's situation."
Seeing Qin Huairu's lack of ambition, Liu Haizhong became somewhat anxious.
He opposed Geng Guangjian and the others returning, not only because of past grievances, but also because he coveted their houses.
With those people's houses, his family would be better off. That way, he could let Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu bring their wives and children back.
At his age, isn't his greatest wish to be surrounded by children and grandchildren?
"This is not something to wrong your sister-in-law. The house is vacant, and your little darling and locust flowers can all be moved back."
Guangtian and Jiefang can also bring their wives and children over.
Yi Zhonghai instantly understood Liu Haizhong's meaning, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He was childless and couldn't bear to see others with many children and grandchildren.
Liu Haizhong ate his food and drank his drinks, yet he still tried to provoke him.
He had some hesitation about bringing Geng Guangjian and his men back, but now all that hesitation has vanished.
Unless he dies, Liu Haizhong can forget about letting his grandson move in.
Of course, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't openly object.
To openly oppose it would mean turning against Liu Haizhong, which would be detrimental to his retirement.
"Old Liu, Huai Ru, I've already thought of places for the children to stay."
Let's buy other people's houses first, and then go to the neighborhood office to talk about setting up a nursing home.
When the time comes, we can ask the neighborhood committee to intervene and persuade He Guoqiang to sell the house to us.
In this way, the entire courtyard is back in our hands.
This reason surprised Qin Huairu and Liu Haizhong.
Qin Huairu, in particular, began to covet He Yuzhu's house as soon as she married into the Jia family.
She dreamed of living in He Yuzhu's house.
If Yi Zhonghai could actually buy He Yuzhu's house, his conditions wouldn't be unacceptable.
Can the neighborhood committee help us?
Yi Zhonghai said, "Why shouldn't they help? We bought the house to set up a nursing home, which is for doing good."
Those officials will do anything for political achievements.
A while ago, Lao Yan read the newspaper to everyone, and you all heard it.
Those officials, in pursuit of political achievements, even believe in absurd things like turning water into oil.
They will definitely support us when they hear that we are setting up a nursing home.
Besides, we're not taking the house for free.
We can buy it with money.
With Jin Qihao's support, why would we need to worry about money?
I've thought it all through. Once we buy the house, I'll let Banggeng live in Shazhu's place.
Upon hearing that He Yuzhu's house would be given to Bang Geng, Qin Huairu felt she had gotten a good deal and chose to concede.
Liu Haizhong was eager to speak.
Yi Zhonghai said, "If your Guangqi is willing to come back, he can stay in Xu Damao's house."
As for the old lady's room, I rearranged it exactly as it was when she was alive.
"Let Kim Qi-hao have a place to remember him by."
Upon hearing that Xu Damao's house would be allocated to Liu Guangqi, Liu Haizhong immediately forgot about his two youngest sons.
Liu Haizhong then asked, "Are you confident?"
Yi Zhonghai wasn't entirely confident either, but he forced a smile and said, "It's all up to us, isn't it? Anyway, we won't suffer any losses."
Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.
I support your idea.
"I support it too."
Yi Zhonghai was finally satisfied: "That's right. Many hands make light work. If we want to deal with Sha Zhu, we must unite everyone."
Furthermore, we need to show Kim Qi-ho our strength before he'll willingly part with his money.
Thanks to Yi Zhonghai's persuasive words, the nursing home deal was finalized.
After Liu Haizhong left, Qin Huairu quietly reminded him: "Zhonghai, after you buy the house, whose name do you plan to put it in?"
"You absolutely must not write Jin Qihao's name."
Yi Zhonghai understood Qin Huairu's meaning and said directly, "Of course it should be registered under my name. Jin Qihao is a Taiwanese, he can't buy a house."
I'm practically his sworn brother now, so he'll feel at ease if the property is registered under my name.
This way, we can also prevent Lao Liu and Lao Yan from having any objections.
"After I pass away, the house will go to Bang Geng." (End of Chapter)
