The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 527: He Daqing
Jia Zhang said it with great confidence, but how could Yi Zhonghai, who already felt remorseful, admit it? Naturally, he denied it flatly.

"Mrs. Zhang did say this.
But it was always Mrs. Zhang who said that I had helped her family so much, and that she would definitely let Banggeng take care of me in my old age.
I helped their family purely because Dongxu was my apprentice and out of kindness. Mrs. Zhang said this as if I had some purpose in helping their family.
So I didn’t agree at all.”

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai spoke without blushing or beating his heart, the neighbors didn't know who to believe.
The truth is that Yi Zhonghai had not yet fallen from grace. In the past 30 years, he had always been a good man in front of the neighbors in the courtyard. But the couple did not have a son, so they definitely wanted to let Banggeng take care of them in their old age.
However, Jia Zhang had a bad image in the eyes of the neighbors. She was good at throwing tantrums and making trouble, and people could not trust her.

But what she said was impeccable.

Just when the neighbors didn't know who to believe, Jia Zhang saw that Yi Zhonghai denied it flatly while emphasizing that he was just being kind.
He immediately started yelling angrily.

"I bother!
Yi Zhonghai, you won't blush when you say this,

When I told you to let Banggeng take care of you in your old age, you were so happy that you kept saying that you should learn from the deaf old lady and leave all the things in the house to Banggeng.
What? Now that we are getting married, we need to use your house, and you are denying it. What did you do before? Why didn’t you explain it clearly? "

Hearing Jia Zhang's words so confidently, Yi Zhonghai was furious.
Not only Yi Zhonghai, but even the neighbors were disgusted.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, how can you be like this? Old Yi helped your family and even caused problems for them. You are such an ungrateful person.
I think Lao Yi shouldn't let your family help him with his old age.
You are such an ungrateful person, I will definitely kick Lao Yi out in the future."

"Yes, yes, that's right. Although the Yi couple have selfish motives in helping you, they are helping you sincerely and without any ambiguity.
Otherwise, your Jia family would have a hard time surviving the first few years after Jia Dongxu's death.

Now that the child has grown up, he wants to kick me out. That’s not going to be a good thing.

I would suggest that you stop supporting Lao Yi in his old age and just return the money and food that he has supported you over the years to Lao Yi and his wife. With these things in his hands, he may be able to support himself.
As for the others, there are more than 100 people in our courtyard, most of them are younger generations, and if one of them lends a hand, it will be over."

I heard these neighbors talking about the issue of their own retirement, and they said that there are so many young people in the courtyard who can definitely take care of their family.
To be honest, Yi Zhonghai was very moved.
Without Sha Zhu to back her up, Jia Zhang was really a wicked person with too big an appetite. When she was alive, she wanted to eat up the Yi family completely.

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to agree, Jia Zhang started to yell,
Of course, she didn't want to stop the neighbors in the courtyard from providing for Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age. Anyway, in Jia Zhang's eyes, Yi Zhonghai and his wife were just a burden now. After they were used up, she would be more than happy for these neighbors to take over.
What Jia Zhang really wanted to express was that she did not want to return the aid she had received from Yi Zhonghai over the past 30 years.

I am even more unwilling to see their son get married without a house.
"Don't even think about it. Lao Yi just said it herself. She helped us out of kindness. If it was out of kindness, how could she ask for something back?

Besides, Dongxu and Laoyi in our family have signed a contract to become master and apprentice, and the contract also has the signatures of Laohe and Laoyan.
Has inheritance rights.

Even if our Dongxu is gone, we still have Banggeng. Why do you have the right to interfere? "

Seeing Jia Zhang mention the deed, these neighbors who had come from the old society knew that this thing was indeed useful, but they didn't know what to say. After looking around, they couldn't find Yan Bugui who went out to deal in antiques, so they could only ask He Daqing who was standing at the door of the main house,
"Lao He, since you were the witnesses back then, you should tell the story!" "Yes, yes, yes, Lao He, you have to give everyone an explanation and give justice to Lao Yi and his wife."

Not only Yi Zhonghai was old, He Daqing himself was also in his 60s and approaching 70. At this moment, he was already quite dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's demanding face.
Seeing that the neighbors asked him to seek justice, he stood up without hesitation.
"Since everyone asked me to speak, I will speak.

Although I have never accepted an apprentice, as a cook, I am familiar with the contract book.

Although the contract of that year stated that "after becoming a disciple, you must follow the master and listen to his teachings. After becoming a disciple, you can follow your own way. In the face of cold, heat, disasters, and natural disasters, each one must accept his fate. If you flee to the south or north, it has nothing to do with the master."
But that was just a general master-disciple relationship. When Jia Dongxu became a disciple, Lao Yi accepted him as a child-disciple.

This is also the reason why Zhang's wife said that Jia Dongxu has the right to inherit Old Yi. "

Hearing He Daqing admit that Jia Dongxu has the right to inherit Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang looked at the neighbors in the courtyard with pride.
"Well, I'm right, right? This is our own internal matter.

What are you doing getting involved?"

Seeing Jia Zhang's smug expression and the neighbors looking as if they had eaten a fly, He Daqing interrupted Jia Zhang directly.

"Mrs. Zhang, it is true that Jia Dongxu has the right to inherit Old Yi, but according to the rules, he also has responsibilities.

As the saying goes, I raised you when you were young, and you raised me when I am old.
In the old days, those disciples who were to inherit the master's legacy were no different from his sons, and were even closer than his own sons. This was the rule.

Lao Yi took care of your family according to the rules and raised Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua and the others.
According to the rules, he has fulfilled his obligations.
Now it is your turn to take responsibility. You are ready to kick the old Yi couple out. This is against the rules. You have to give everyone an explanation. "

Jia Zhang originally thought that He Daqing was on her side, but she didn't know what was going on until he finished talking.

When the neighbors heard what He Daqing said, they didn't give Jia Zhang a chance and immediately started to make a fuss.
"Yes, yes, Lao He is right.
Jia Zhang, you have to give us an explanation. Of course, if you really don't want to provide for Lao Yi in his old age, you can also return all the money and things.

After all, this is a new society, so we don’t have to be so particular about it.”

Hearing the neighbors talking about the new society, Jia Zhang immediately became excited, but before she could say anything, she was blocked by the neighbors.
"Ms. Jia Zhang, if you don't want to pay back the money and don't want to provide for Lao Yi's retirement,
Don't blame us for spreading the bad things you did and letting Banggeng's partner know. By then, not to mention getting married, your Banggeng will be single for the rest of his life, and the Jia family will be extinct!"
