Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 1098: Unequal Exchange of Family Affection
Yi Zhonghai didn't doubt this, after all, there was a precedent.

Just like when the deaf old lady dealt with Jia Dongxu, although it took a long time and was piecemeal, Jia Dongxu really died because of that incident.

The gangster offered Yi Zhonghai two hundred yuan in exchange for Bang Geng's leg.

Of course, if Yi Zhonghai could pay more money, other things could be done.

This is really not a blind offer from the other party.

Two hundred yuan is indeed valuable in this day and age.

If you go to the countryside to exchange wives, you can probably get a few virgins.

But this is Sijiucheng, and to get in here, there is a prerequisite: the child must be a registered permanent resident of Sijiucheng.

If the children were from other places, even if they committed a crime in the old city, they would be sent back to their registered place of residence for processing, unless they were treated like peanuts.

So in places like Sijiu City, it's normal that the price to pay is a bit higher for damaging people's health and ruining their future.

Others were already in prison for three months or half a year. If they were to be locked up for an extra year or two because of dealing with the gangsters, then Yi Zhonghai would have to compensate them for one year's loss. Two hundred is really not a lot.

As for the gangsters, it's really useless for them to help.

He didn't want to get any benefit from Yi Zhonghai in this matter.

But the other party is not without conditions. The gangster is thinking of doing business with Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai runs a car repair shop. What business can a gangster do with him?
The thing that Sha Zhu did in his previous life.

Yi Zhonghai was initially hesitant because he knew that if he was caught stealing bicycles and selling stolen goods, he would be in real trouble.

But on the one hand, there are many people doing this in the market, but of course, it is impossible to resell the entire vehicle.

If the whole truck was to be resold, Yi Zhonghai would not dare to agree to that gangster's request even if he wanted to take revenge on the Jia family.

If things go wrong, I might really have to eat peanuts.

Instead, they steal the car and then dismantle it into parts and sell them.

The risk factor is much smaller.

Even if they find out, they will say they don't know, they are not sure. Others said the car was stolen, only the two wheels were left, they brought it in to exchange for money, and the ticket for purchasing the car was also lost...

It is impossible to conduct a detailed investigation there.

Things like this are usually impossible to check.

Even if they find out, they can just find someone they know in the police station, admit their mistakes with a good attitude, pay a fine, write a letter of apology, and they can get away with it.

For example, Yi Zhonghai has worked on one during this period.

He knows more about this than others and is more cautious. For example, he won't touch car frames with steel stamps or anything with too obvious appearance.

For some parts, even if it takes more effort, he will find a way to change the color or something.

All I can say is, it’s really fucking profitable.

He could earn around twenty bucks by dismantling a car into pieces and selling them in small amounts. He didn't know how the gangsters fared, but he could still make a small fortune.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai would definitely not care about this little money, but now twenty yuan is already his monthly income.

Yi Zhonghai used to focus on stability, but that was because he was not poor. When he was working, he earned 70 or 80 yuan a month and did not care about this little money.

But now, he earns only 5 cents.

Who cares about those?

Another reason is that Yi Zhonghai feels that he has been living a depressed life these years.

His life had been so good, but it turned out to be so broken today. You can imagine how angry he is.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door.

Yi Zhonghai asked unhappily, "Who?"

These words are a bit redundant. Who could call him in his house?

Xiaocao'er, who was knocking on the door outside, was startled. She really heard impatience and cruelty in Yi Zhonghai's tone.

This is also strange.

Ever since Cao'er came to the Yi family, Yi Zhonghai has never touched her.

But Cao'er was very sensitive to this emotion. In the middle of the night, she woke up and saw Yi Zhonghai "bullying" her mother. She heard her mother crying and begging. She could only close her eyes tightly and tremble all over.

If Cao'er were Yi Zhonghai's biological child, he might ask Yi Zhonghai or Tian Ya the next day.

But Cao'er is not.

So she could only remember what she saw in her mind according to her understanding.

The key point is that Yi Zhonghai's mood was unstable for a while.

Sometimes he was enjoying love with Tian Ya, and sometimes he really bullied Tian Ya.

Cao'er didn't dare to ask and could only classify all those things into one category.

In other words, Yi Zhonghai bullied her mother.

This is very common in second marriages. Many children's hatred for their stepfather and stepmother for no reason is accumulated from these small things.

It’s just like what Banggeng did to Shazhu in the previous life. It’s a bit nonsense to say that Banggeng is so ignorant and doesn’t want Qin Huairu to find a home.

He just couldn't accept that his mother was with a fool.

If Qin Huairu had been with Lao Li or Xu Damao at that time, it might have been a different story.

No matter what Xu Damao was like in his previous life, he was very glorious in front of others.

That is what young people worship.

Cao'er replied timidly: "Dad, it's time to eat."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai suppressed his thoughts, stood up and opened the door.

I saw Cao'er lowering his head and his body trembling slightly.

Yi Zhonghai said softly: "Our Cao'er is so well behaved that he even knows to call daddy for dinner."

After saying that, he touched the little girl's dry and yellow hair.

Cao'er trembled even more violently. She subconsciously stepped back, escaping from Yi Zhonghai's intimate behavior.

She didn't even dare to look at Yi Zhonghai, but said vaguely: "I'll go serve the food to mom."

As she said this she ran towards the kitchen.

The little girl's distant attitude towards him inevitably made Yi Zhonghai's expression gloomy again.

This is the case with this kind of thing. Yi Zhonghai knows that he is not Cao'er's biological father, so he is more sensitive to Cao'er's attitude towards him.

He thought he had paid a lot, but he just couldn't get the little girl to treat him as her real father.

Yi Zhonghai never thought that the little girl treated him as her real father for a while.

It was Yi Zhonghai who didn't realize it, didn't cherish it, and didn't persist in being good to the mother and daughter, so they missed it.

Most people think of emotional communication as being nice to someone because they like him or her and have a good impression of him or her.

Whether others can receive the good signal and respond to it requires time to settle.

But a selfish person like Yi Zhonghai definitely doesn't have that patience.

He is used to doing things that if he puts in one, he will get one or more.

Instead of giving to someone year after year and getting nothing in the end.

"Lao Yi, Lao Yi, are you home?" A voice came from outside the door.

Even though Yi Zhonghai knew who was outside the door, he still asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

As he spoke, he walked forward and opened the door.

Liu Haizhong replied: "I, Liu Haizhong, let's go, Lao Yi, come to my place for a drink."

Just as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai opened the door.

Liu Haizhong’s words made Yi Zhonghai pause.

Since he came back as a "sheep", he hasn't had much contact with Liu Haizhong.

Both of them have problems and a lot of troubles, and they can't help each other, so it's normal for them to be a little unfamiliar.
