The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

To be precise, after waking up in the hospital, Yi Zhonghai first felt a sharp pain all over his body.

When Cao Wei's image appeared in his mind, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

That damned little bastard!

However, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have thought of something, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking, "That little beast, he's finally in my hands!"

At least in Yi Zhonghai's view, he did not attack Cao Wei this time, but the other party beat him up like this.

We have to report it to the military control commission, let Cao Wei in, and make him return that money with interest.

So, after he finished speaking, he didn't even notice Li Mei's embarrassment or Jia Dongxu's inability to lower his head.

At that moment, after hesitating for a long time, Li Mei reminded Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhonghai, it's not that I didn't want to report to the Military Control Commission, but that little bastard said..."

After Li Mei finished repeating the words Cao Wei had used to threaten her.

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai felt as if his blood and qi were about to flow backward.

She was so angry that her face turned completely red, and she almost fainted.

He couldn't help but speak with a tone of grief, indignation, and hysteria.

"Isn't there anyone who can punish this little beast?"

At the same time, Li Mei seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She then tentatively spoke to Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhonghai, we can spread his story and completely ruin his reputation."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but nod repeatedly, even praising Li Mei.

"Mei, well done! Let's do it this way. I'm going to make sure this little bastard stays a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Thinking of Cao Wei in his forties or fifties, possibly still a bachelor, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but chuckle with a lewd grin.

However, Jia Dongxu looked a little embarrassed. To be precise, he was now in a rational state and understood things better.

A cook, and a cook at the third stove of Fengzeyuan.

Even if someone never becomes an apprentice, they can still earn thirty-odd yuan a month.

To put it bluntly, someone could probably buy a wife from the countryside.

After all, he's pretty much the same, isn't he? His mother's reputation caused him to fail at blind dates one after another.

However, he did not choose to dampen Yi Zhonghai's spirits. Instead, after hesitating for a while, he scratched his head and brought up the topic he was most concerned about.

"Master, what do you think about my wedding?"

Yi Zhonghai, however, did not look too good at this moment.

She had been beaten so badly by that damned little beast Cao Wei because of Jia Dongxu.

However, thinking of Qin Huairu, who has a beautiful figure and is even proficient in all kinds of future knowledge, I can't help but think of her.

Then I can take the opportunity to reminisce about my youth.

Li Mei frowned, about to say something, when Yi Zhonghai interrupted her.

"Mei, how is my injury?"

After giving Jia Dongxu another irritating look, Li Mei slowly spoke.

"The doctor said you need to rest for at least half a month."

"I remember there's a good day about a month from now, so let's do it then."

"Dongxu, could you ask for leave for me at the factory and tell them I hurt my back?"

Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement with Yi Zhonghai's command.

Although he was also quite anxious and felt a bit annoyed at the thought of waiting another month, the key point was that the other party was the one paying the bulk of the money.

Afterwards, when Jia Dongxu returned, he told Jia Zhangshi about it.

Madam Jia Zhang didn't have any objections, but she cursed Cao Wei a few more times.

At least Yi Zhonghai was doing this for their benefit. Being injured and having to postpone things for a month or two was nothing to her.

However, after hearing Jia Dongxu's mutterings, she immediately changed her attitude.

"Mom, I just wanted Huai Ru to come in sooner so she could share some of your burden, and I could also have a son sooner."

Immediately, Madam Jia was no longer sleepy. She had even thought about how to set rules for Qin Huairu. Now she thought about postponing the meeting with her eldest grandson.

Their expressions changed instantly, and even Yi Zhonghai started to complain.

"Couldn't that old man with no descendants have prepared more before going to find that little beast?"

……

Just two and a half days later, Xu Fugui returned from showing movies in the countryside.

Upon hearing what his wife, Wang Yuanyuan, had to say, Yi Zhonghai almost attacked Xu Damao in person.

His face darkened completely, and he went straight to the hospital.

He even looked directly at Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the hospital bed, and spoke bluntly.

"Old Yi, I've found out what happened. You're so old, why would you attack a child, and only my son? Give me an explanation."

Xu Fugui spoke in a very nonchalant manner, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Before Li Mei, who was serving him, could speak, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "In the end, he didn't suffer, did he?"

However, Xu Fugui didn't even respond to Yi Zhonghai; he just looked at him with a calm expression.

Yi Zhonghai, however, saw a hint of undeniable authority in that calm expression.

He remembered that the other party had even had a past relationship with Lou Bancheng.

He was also very clear that he absolutely could not afford to offend Xu Fugui in front of him.

After taking a deep breath, I could only accept my bad luck.

"Ten thousand, consider it money I gave you to scare your son."

"Five hundred thousand."

"What?! You were just scared and nothing happened, yet you want 500,000? You might as well just rob someone."

As Li Mei raised her voice, her face was filled with displeasure. You see...

You know, I finally managed to start saving money again these past few months, and Jia Dongxu borrowed it from me every now and then, and then he became my apprentice.

Yi Zhonghai handled the entire wedding ceremony and gave her money, which she tolerated.

The family still had some savings, which was for the future. But right now, Xu Damao hadn't suffered any harm, yet they were being asked to come up with another 500,000 yuan. How could she possibly tolerate that?

"Okay, sure."

Xu Fugui took one last look at Yi Zhonghai, lit a cigarette, and beckoned to Xu Damao before preparing to leave.

Finally, with immense heartache and grief, Yi Zhonghai called out to the father and son in a slightly hoarse and weary voice.

"Mei, go back and get them the money."

At this moment, Xu Fugui couldn't help but glance at Yi Zhonghai again, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

"At least you're reasonable."

After saying that, the father and son walked out, giving the couple some space to be alone.

Before Li Mei could even voice her complaints, Yi Zhonghai, frowning and suppressing his anger, explained, "Xu Fugui used to have a relationship with Lou Bancheng, and his wife is even more so. Now they're both servants in his household. Although things aren't the same as before, if he really wanted to do something to me, I'm afraid I'd either have my salary reduced or lose my job."

This made Li Mei realize that the steel rolling mill still belonged to Lou Bancheng.
