Siheyuan: What bad intentions could a veterinarian like me have?

Chapter 107: Having such a father is more painful than having a dead mother

Ten minutes ago, at Yi Zhonghai's home.

"I say, Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? There's really something wrong with you lately!" Yi Zhonghai took out a lot of tobacco from a small tin can, placed it on the folded rough paper on the table, and started rolling a cigarette. He glanced at the silly Zhu who was sitting next to him, and complained a lot.

Sha Zhu stiffened his neck and said unhappily: "Uncle, this is not my fault, right? Look at Jia Dongxu, isn't he a little too much recently... No, not a little, now he is jumping up and down!"

An auntie poured a glass of water for each of them and advised, "Zhuzi, no matter what, you and Dongxu are brothers who grew up together. Although you are not related by blood, after all, you have been together for so many years. You are like brothers, but you can't get violent with him just because he did something stupid. You two have been fighting a lot recently!"

"Can you blame me?" Sha Zhu angrily drank a sip of warm tea and said anxiously: "Auntie, uncle, you know what happened recently! Is Jia Dongxu still a human being? I just want to talk to you two today!"

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt looked at each other silently, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

But the former still pretended to be sad and couldn't bear to see brothers killing each other, and shook his head and said: "Zhu Zi, you two are my flesh and blood! I don't want there to be any rift between you brothers! Dongxu's father died many years ago, and your father ran away for some years. I raised you two as my own sons..."

"Having said that, uncle, you can't help your relatives and ignore the law!" Sha Zhu made a lot of sense.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and tell me what you mean!" Yi Zhonghai finally nodded and lit a cigarette with a match.

"Let's talk about something far away. Today, Li Xiangdong saw that I was so seriously injured, and he treated me without saying a word. Isn't that right? If you, Jia Dongxu, had been well-behaved and honest, would Dongzi not have treated you? But you had to scold him, wanted to beat him, and even wanted Dongzi to compensate you for the incident of the steel door of Jia Zhang's being sealed yesterday? What the hell is this if not ungratefulness? If I were Dongzi, I would not only refuse to treat Jia Dongxu, but also sue him for defamation and framing me! Don't you think this is immoral?"

Hearing Sha Zhu's impassioned words, Yi Zhonghai nodded pretentiously, "Zhu Zi, you are right! Dong Xu did something wrong tonight, I admit it!"

"Hey, it's not just tonight! How many times has this happened? He himself, Banggeng, his mother, Dongzi has saved your Jia family three times, and he still doesn't understand! He's an ungrateful person every time. It's only because Dongzi people don't care. If it were me, let alone the rule of three times, I would have Jia Dongxu beat him up the second time! What the hell is this!" Shazhu was so angry that he slammed the table.

Seeing this angry look, the auntie was a little nervous, "Zhu Zi, why did you react so strongly today? This shouldn't happen. I remember that your relationship with Xiang Dong was not so good! Why do you act as if Dong Zi is your brother and Dong Xu is your enemy?"

Sha Zhu smiled awkwardly, his face unnatural as he said, "Although I don't like Dong Zi's aloof look, I have to admire him. He is a capable person and he has the right to be arrogant! I won't say what he is like, but I admire his ability!"

"Hey, you can say anything!" The aunt shook her head and smiled.

Yi Zhonghai stopped her and asked, "Okay, we've finished talking about the distant things. Dongxu is wicked. What about the nearby things?"

Hearing this, the aunt's breathing suddenly became rapid, as if she had already discussed it with Yi Zhonghai, and the part she wanted to hear most had already come.

Even Yi Zhonghai's smoking pace has become faster.

"This is so close! Uncle, you think you can do things this way? Banggeng is so young, and being naughty is a child's nature. Did I say this about Banggeng before? I think this child is smart and clever, and he is a promising talent! But look at how his father and grandmother treat him? They beat him every day, and the class teacher noticed something was wrong and came to visit his home!"

"Beating is fine, but the mother and son verbally insulted their grandson. How could the child bear it? No wonder Bang Geng didn't want to recognize Jia Dongxu! Having such a father is more painful than losing your mother! Such a smart and lively child has become so wilted. Is this acceptable?"

Yi Zhonghai's mouth twitched after hearing these words, especially the sentence "It's more painful than losing your mother", which made him a little defensive.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhu Zi, you love the child so much, are you serious? Do you really want to be his godfather?" "Uncle, I won't hide it from you! I like this child, and I love him! If the child is willing, I will be his godfather, so what? Look at how their family treats the child, he still looks like a human being! There is no vitality in the little guy's eyes, only fear! If this goes on, Bang Geng will be finished sooner or later! If it's really possible, I can even be his biological father!" Sha Zhu said indignantly.

The old couple looked at each other silently and thought to themselves, as expected.

Then Yi Zhonghai seemed to be frightened by Sha Zhu's words. He choked on the cigarette and spat, "Sha Zhu, what are you talking about! This is extremely treasonous. My biological father is still alive! Even if Bang Geng agrees, Huai Ru must agree too! Don't talk nonsense!"

Sha Zhu's face lit up with joy, "So, if Huairu agrees, I can be Banggeng's biological father?"

"..." Yi Zhonghai pulled the corner of his mouth, "That's just what I said, don't be too happy! Banggeng agreed, Huairu agreed, will Jia Dongxu agree? Will Jia Zhang agree? Just pretend you never said that! Just keep it to yourself! Your aunt and I won't tell anyone! Their family is fine, don't get too excited!"

"I know, I know! I just feel sorry for my child!" Sha Zhu felt like he was doused with a bucket of cold water, and his impulse and excitement cooled down.

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt exchanged glances quietly, and when they felt that it was about time, they rolled him a cigarette and lit it. "Zhu Zi, in fact, your aunt and I have thought a lot during this period. We know you and Dong Xu's personalities and families very well. To be honest, Dong Xu's treatment of us is far inferior to yours!"

"Of course, I treat you and Auntie as my family!" Sha Zhu said hastily.

The old couple immediately looked relieved and happy.

"Or should I say it, I'm still close to you!" Yi Zhonghai took two puffs of his cigarette, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Zhu Zi, tell me honestly, are you really interested in Huai Ru?"

"This..." Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at him, knowing that his thoughts had been seen through, he finally nodded and said without hiding anything, "Indeed, I like her, the kind that I like so much!"

Relieved, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "It is said that it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. Actually, I should not have said this, but Huairu is indeed unhappy in the Jia family. I see it with my own eyes and feel pain in my heart. If she follows you, perhaps we can move forward one step further..."

"Ah? An old man..." Sha Zhu was suddenly overjoyed and extremely excited.

"But you also know that this is bound to be very difficult! If our two families want to make this happen, I'm afraid we will have to pay much more! Look, your aunt and I don't have any children, so we will inevitably have to bear more. When we get old, there will be no one to take care of us..."

"I will support you! I will keep my word, I swear to God!"

As the saying goes, one can know the elegant meaning by listening to the music of the strings. Sha Zhu immediately understood what the old man was worried about.

"Okay, then that's the case! Let's give it a try!" Yi Zhonghai put down the cigarette, his eyes determined.

Shazhu was so excited that he didn't know what to do. With the help of the old man, he would be able to reach the sky in one step.

"Uncle, don't worry. From now on, I will treat you as my own father!"

Bang, bang, bang! Shazhu knelt down and kowtowed three times.
