The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

This completely baffled the Jia family mother and son.

You should know that before this, she had been entangled with Yi Zhonghai for so long, ever since Yi Zhonghai suffered a huge loss and took over Jia Dongxu's wedding.

It was also because Yi Zhonghai privately felt sorry for Qin Huairu, who was carrying his child, that he gave all the money he originally intended to use to help the Jia family—ten or so yuan—to Qin Huairu.

This resulted in the Jia family not being able to get any benefits from Yi Zhonghai since that marriage, not even cornmeal.

This is precisely why Jia Dongxu wanted to sever ties with Yi Zhonghai.

joke?

If this scoundrel won't give me any money, why don't I just find another craftsman?

However, after realizing that they were no longer pampered by Yi Zhonghai, they eventually reconciled in private. But since Yi Zhonghai couldn't get any benefits from them, the mother and son still cursed him countless times every night.

This time, neither of them had high hopes at first, after all, they had only recently reconciled with Yi Zhonghai.

In the hospital, the amount of money paid by the other party is different.

Hosting a banquet requires real effort to prepare food and hire a chef, which can cost a lot of money.

Although they can collect money later, the initial capital alone is already a bit of a problem for the Jia family.

After all, for Jia Zhangshi, hosting a banquet was a big deal.

These beastly neighbors in the yard will most likely only be able to recoup their costs, and after what happened last time, it's uncertain whether they'll even be able to recoup their costs at all.

In such a situation, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't a son born of the father.

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and went to buy some sugar to distribute.

It's even possible that on the very day she gave birth, Qin Huairu would be told to hurry back home.

Only Qin Huairu understood that the reason Yi Zhonghai was willing to spend this money was precisely because the child in her womb was his.

The Jia family mother and son, who had finally realized what was happening, were naturally delighted. Jia Dongxu even pulled his master, Yi Zhonghai, aside and said a few more nice words in a perfunctory manner.

"Master, I will definitely take good care of you."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt extremely satisfied.

However, after the last incident, he was naturally wary of Jia Dongxu. The reason he was willing to spend money this time was because he placed more hope for his retirement on his biological son.

In his view, Banggeng must be his son.

However, if things were to turn out differently, not only would it be crucial that Qin Huairu be willing to divorce Jia Dongxu, but more importantly, that he abandon the moral high ground he had painstakingly built up over this period.

Even with the latter issue, Yi Zhonghai would hesitate.

Not to mention, from Qin Huairu's perspective, he was only trying to leech off others and make his life better by compromising himself.

Spend your whole life with that old geezer Yi Zhonghai?

Are you kidding me?

Although Jia Dongxu is not as good as he used to be, Yi Zhonghai isn't much better.

But Jia Dongxu has a face to back it up, and he occasionally says nice things to me.

After several failed attempts with Cao Wei, she gave up the idea of ​​marrying someone else again. After all, for a second marriage, Yi Zhonghai was the only option she could choose.

Naturally, she was unwilling to accept this news.

The banquet was attended by almost everyone in the courtyard, except for Cao Wei.

Cao Wei, of course, was happy to have some free time.

This time, Yi Zhonghai had full authority over the matter, leaving Li Mei to take the lead.

Although Li Mei was also dissatisfied, considering that they had no other choice regarding their retirement plans, she gritted her teeth and accepted the task of hosting the banquet.

Because Jia Zhangshi wasn't directly in charge this time, the banquet looked better, and the beastly neighbor naturally chose to attend.

After the banquet, Xu Damao couldn't help but come over to Cao Wei and ask him a question out of curiosity.

"Brother Wei, it's actually quite strange that the Jia family's banquet this time is actually quite proper."

"This banquet doesn't look like something the Jia family could afford; it's most likely the work of that old, childless man."

After Cao Wei pointed out the truth, Xu Damao couldn't help but ask again with a face full of curiosity.

"Brother Wei, this is all a disciple showing respect to his master, so why is Yi Zhonghai going to such lengths?"

"Well, he's childless, so he can only rely on his apprentice to support him in his old age."

Cao Wei's casual remark made Xu Damao instantly understand, and at the same time, he couldn't help but mock him.

"That's right, this is the fate that should befall those who have no offspring."

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't hear it at that moment, otherwise he would have almost fainted from anger again.

However, these words made Cao Wei glance at Xu Damao with a slightly pitying look.

According to another timeline, the other party also seems to have no descendants.

But that happened later, and now Sha Zhu has already left.

The days that followed seemed to become quiet as a result.

For two and a half months, nothing else happened, but at this moment, a piece of news instantly ignited the entire courtyard.

The Military Control Commission is going to be abolished.

Instead, neighborhood committees and police stations were established.

In this day and age, the effects of this are considerable.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai, who was the first to receive the news, couldn't help but smile.

Because this would mean that the old deaf man hadn't lied to him.

So, after getting off work that day, Yi Zhonghai rushed to the backyard, looked at the old deaf man with some impatience, and said.

"Grandma, it's been cancelled after all. By the way, has the matter of the administrator you mentioned been finalized?"

At this moment, the old deaf man remained calm. Looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was filled with anxiety, he shook his head and began to scold him.

"What's the rush?"

"Take me out with you."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see an old friend."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai obediently led the deaf old woman out of the backyard. This attracted the attention of many people. After all, to be precise, the deaf old woman had only left the yard a handful of times since moving in.

Soon, led by Yi Zhonghai, they arrived at the subdistrict office.

When the old deaf man revealed his identity.

Almost immediately, someone brought the old deaf man and Yi Zhonghai to an office.

Upon arriving at the office, I saw a woman who appeared to be in her thirties or forties.

The old deaf man's tone was somewhat wistful.

"Xiao Wang, it's been so many years."

When the Iron-Capped Prince saw the old deaf man again, he was filled with emotion.

It's important to understand that if it weren't for the old deaf woman's kindness, her family might not even have survived. Therefore, it was precisely because of this life-saving grace that the Iron-Capped Prince, in the original timeline, chose to turn a blind eye to what was happening in the old deaf woman's courtyard, allowing things to proceed as they were, even though they had clearly broken the law, to be resolved within the courtyard.

"Grandma, it's been a long time! How have you been lately?"
