Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1026 Sima Yi’s Wisdom

The reason why He Yuzhu was so sure was because he understood Yi Zhonghai's character.

He is the kind of person who can tear other families apart in order to provide for himself in his old age.

Of course, in this life, He Yuzhu's return brought him down to earth from the very beginning.

But it made Yi Zhonghai lose the confidence he wanted to do those things.

That is the reputation that Yi Zhonghai had worked so hard to build up.

Later, Yi Zhonghai made more mistakes the more anxious he became, which led to the situation today.

But his nature and abilities have not changed at all.

His plan was nothing but a child's play in front of He Yuzhu at that time. He Yuzhu could crush him to death with just a little finger.

But when He Yuzhu was reborn, he was still extremely wary of him.

This also indirectly illustrates Yi Zhonghai's ability.

Yi Zhonghai also heard the gossip, but on the surface he pretended not to mind. A few times, he even pretended to be generous and said to Tian Ya that he didn't want to implicate her and her daughter anymore, and that he would let her go if she met the right person.

But Tian Ya was deeply moved.

Pretending to be generous and calculating have always been Yi Zhonghai's trump cards.

The most obvious approach in this regard is that Yi Zhonghai insisted on sending Xiaocao to school.

According to Tian Ya, for a girl, it is enough for her to be able to write her name and do the math when buying groceries.

But Yi Zhonghai insisted and sent Xiaocao to school, and made a wish in front of everyone that he would support Xiaocao wherever she could go.

If Xiaocao had the ability to go to college, he would sell everything he had to support his child.

If his actions are consistent with his words, then even if Yi Zhonghai has plans, he is still a good husband and a good father.

But it’s a pity that if Yi Zhonghai was really that kind, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.

This time, he did not use cold violence against Tian Ya, did not beat Tian Ya in private, and did not do anything to Xiao Cao.

He just used a very simple trick, which was to spend all the money Tian Ya earned.

Every day Yi Zhonghai lies on a recliner, and apart from doing his own work, he just stares at Tian Ya.

For example, if Tian Ya earned 50 cents today, Yi Zhonghai would ask Tian Ya to buy half a pound of meat.
Of course, the words are beautiful.

That is to say, Xiaocao is too thin, so she asked Tian Ya to buy some meat for the child to supplement his diet.

From the very beginning, Yi Zhonghai completely separated the money earned from the two stalls.

He spent the household expenses based on Tian Ya's income.

As for the money he earned, he would naturally save it to pay off debts.

What debt?
The construction of the store and the purchase of store supplies were all handled personally by Yi Zhonghai. He said how much was still owed, and that was how much was owed.

This seems like a clumsy approach.

But it was very useful. At least Tian Ya didn't have a penny saved until today, and her opinion of Yi Zhonghai changed a lot.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was generous to them, mother and daughter!

This was the only solution Yi Zhonghai had as he was disabled.

Although he had found this way of making a living, he had no idea how long he could do it or how much money he could earn per month.

When it comes to business, it's normal to make three or five dollars today and then be closed for the next month or so.

So for his own retirement insurance, he had to save money desperately.

This is just Yi Zhonghai's first step towards Tian Ya.

Of course there are other ways.

For example, if Qin Huairu took on more work for Tian Ya or did some patching for someone else, the pay might be 8 or 10 cents, but Yi Zhonghai would only take it for 3 or 5 cents.

Sometimes, when people didn’t bring change, Yi Zhonghai would generously offer to give it to them next time, or just forget it.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this thing. Whether it is small profits but quick turnover, or giving back to the neighbors, it makes sense.

But it was Yi Zhonghai who gained fame, while it was Tian Ya who did the hard work.

Tian Ya walked in front tiredly, carrying a package. This was the work she had not finished in the store today, so she took it home to do.

Yi Zhonghai walked behind with a cane.

Yi Zhonghai greeted everyone politely whenever he met them, even though he knew very well that some people were gossiping and saying unpleasant things about him behind his back.

But Yi Zhonghai still smiled when facing others.

According to the neighbors in the alley, Yi Zhonghai has become a better person now.

Tian Ya was in a bad mood, so she just greeted Yang Ruihua.

After all, when Yi Zhonghai was supporting the Third Front, although Yang Ruihua didn't take good care of her, she didn't bully her either.

Yang Ruihua was surprised and asked: "Cao'er's mother, why do you have so much work today?
How much money does this cost?”

Although Tian Ya felt uncomfortable, she still forced a smile and said, "No, not much.

It was just some clothes that the workers at a nearby construction site had changed into. After mending and washing them, it was not enough to pay for the laundry detergent.”

"Then you are kind-hearted." Yang Ruihua curled her lips. She didn't believe what Tian Ya said about not having much money.

But Tian Ya was also in tears because she really didn't have much money.

Such a big bag of clothes, more than ten pieces, only cost fifty cents to sew and wash.

It seems like a lot, but Tian Ya doesn't want to earn this little money.

Tired, really tired.

Find the damaged parts of each piece of clothing and mend them, then starch and wash them.

And she is the one who cooks dinner at home.

Tian Ya was sitting at the door, doing some sewing in the dim light.

I looked up and saw Yi Zhonghai holding a teacup and instructing Cao'er on how to write.

It looks like a warm family.

Tian Ya breathed a sigh of relief. At least these days were much more comfortable than before.

"Cao'er, come here and thread the needle for mom!" Tian Ya tried to thread the needle several times but failed. Her eyes were a little blurry.

The little girl skipped to Tian Ya's side, took the needle and thread, put the thread in her mouth for a while, and threaded it through the eye of the needle.

Tian Ya said with relief: "Our Cao'er has really good eyesight."

The little girl was praised and smiled happily, but she said, "Mom, I don't have a pencil or eraser. Give me five cents to buy one tomorrow."

"Give me one cent. Your mother made some money today. Here's a small dollar!

Tomorrow your mother will earn so much again, let her buy you a chicken to make soup." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai was a good calculator. He knew that Tian Ya had saved more than two dollars in the past few days.

"I just had meat the day before yesterday. How can I live like this every day? It's too ungrateful." Tian Ya felt very uncomfortable.

"Hey, it's not for others to eat. Isn't it better to let my daughter eat it?" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said casually.

Tian Ya looked at her daughter's expectant eyes and said nothing about this thing.

But she was also lamenting in her heart that the little money she had saved seemed to have grown legs and could no longer stay in her pocket.

The key is that every word Yi Zhonghai said was in the name of the child, making it difficult for her to refuse.

The method used by Yi Zhonghai was also very simple, which was to use Sima Yi's old wisdom to make Zhuge Liang tired to death.

Tian Ya worked so hard but couldn't save any money, so naturally she had no mood to think about anything else.
