Chapter Ninety-Nine: Yi Zhonghai Recognizes His Godson, and Jia Zhangshi Makes a Fortune

So after discussing it, Uncle Yi took the money and went to the Jia family.

Meanwhile, at the Jia family's home, Madam Jia Zhang was throwing a tantrum: "That jinx in the backyard is just too awful! We're already struggling to make ends meet! And he still wants to cause trouble for us!"

"Donate money! If it's really impossible, he just won't donate! But now look what's happened! Except for Grandpa Yi's thirty yuan, everyone else who had already taken out their money has taken it all back!"

Bang Geng was also very unhappy at this time. During this period, because his family had no money, Bang Geng had not been able to eat anything good.

All things considered, aside from stealing a few eggs and candies to barely satisfy my cravings, my mouth is practically bland to the point of being numb.

So when he heard his grandmother cursing the jinx in the backyard, Banggeng chimed in.

"Exactly! That jinx is really bullying us! When I grow up, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

No! I don't need to wait until I'm grown up! Tomorrow! Tomorrow during the day when they're not home, I'm going to tear their house down!

Zhang Xiangyang, Jia Zhangshi's nephew, did not respond. He remained "well-behaved" and lay on the half of the bed separated by a curtain without saying a word.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi heard someone knocking on the door, so she immediately instructed Zhang Xiangyang to get up and open the door.

Zhang Xiangyang opened the door and saw it was Uncle Yi. He immediately greeted him respectfully, "Master... It's so late, is there something you need?"

Uncle Yi nodded, then said, "I need to speak with your aunt."

Seeing Uncle Yi walk in, Jia Zhangshi looked unhappy. "What are you doing here? You promised to help us raise about a hundred yuan in donations in the yard."

"Besides what you've contributed, no one else has contributed a single penny! If that's the case, Banggeng won't so easily accept this godparent."

Uncle Yi waved his hand, then quickly took out ten ten-yuan bills he had prepared from his pocket and began to speak.

“Sister-in-law Jia, this time you can’t blame me. Blame Ye Jianchuan! If it weren’t for his interference, our plan would have succeeded long ago!”

Didn't you see that almost everyone had already taken out their money? If Ye Jianchuan hadn't blurted out those lies, the money everyone donated would already be in your hands by now.

At this point, Uncle Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "But it's alright, Sister-in-law Jia, I've thought about it too. I really want to recognize Bang Geng as my godson."

Think about it, your son was my apprentice before, and now your nephew is also my apprentice. We're practically family now.

Accepting Banggeng as my godson will make our relationship even closer! And I won't let you suffer any losses. See this? Here's a hundred dollars. Although I couldn't get the money from those guys, I paid for it myself!

This hundred yuan is my gift to my great-grandson, Banggeng. What do you think?

When Jia Zhangshi saw the ten ten-yuan bills that Uncle Yi handed her, her eyes widened. Ten ten-yuan bills! One hundred yuan! If she used that money to buy painkillers, how long would it take her to finish them?

Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help herself and immediately reached out to take the money that Uncle Yi handed over.

"Oh, Uncle Yi, you're too kind. Our two families have always had a good relationship. You were Dongxu's master before, and now you're taking Xiangdong under your wing. Once a teacher, always a father. Our two families are already relatives!"

Since you like Bang Geng so much, then I'll have Bang Geng recognize you as its godfather. That way, you two will be even closer relatives!

As he spoke, he put away the hundred yuan and then winked at Banggeng beside him.

Although Banggeng was a little reluctant, he still pretended to be very obedient and called out "Grandpa".

That address of "godfather" really touched Uncle Yi's heart, and he immediately beamed with joy, "Oh! My dear godson!"

Don't worry, your godfather will take good care of you from now on and make sure you have enough to eat every day!

Bang Geng was initially a little reluctant, but after hearing what Uncle Yi said, he immediately became happy.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry. I want to eat meat. I haven't had any oil or fat for half a month."

Upon hearing the title "godfather," Grandpa Yi had already given up thinking. All he knew was that the 'grandson' he had been dreaming of had finally appeared!

"Alright, alright! My good grandson, come with me. I still have some meat at home, I'll go back and cook it for you!"

Upon hearing this, Bang Geng immediately beamed with joy. Ignoring the winks Jia Zhangshi was giving him from the side, he followed Uncle Yi back to eat meat.

This infuriated Jia Zhangshi. Her grandson was so obedient; as soon as he heard there was meat to eat, he ran off with someone else and didn't even remember to bring some back for his grandmother.

But then I thought about it again, and it wasn't a bad idea. After all, the hamsters need to eat meat anyway. If they went to Uncle Yi's house and ate their fill, they could save the money they had just received.

When Banggeng goes to school, I can secretly buy something to eat or even a painkiller!

Thinking it over, Jia Zhangshi felt better. She quietly put the 130 yuan she had just received together with the retirement money she had secretly saved before, and then lay back down on the bed.

However, Jia Zhangshi was unaware that while she was secretly hiding the money, Zhang Xiangdong on the other side of the curtain was not idle either. He had been pretending to be asleep, secretly observing her.

Zhang Xiangdong was also very interested in Jia Zhangshi's retirement money. Although he couldn't see the exact amount, he could clearly see several large ten-yuan bills on the outside of the money.

Even if it's just a bunch of receipts inside, it's still a huge stack, so it must be worth at least a hundred yuan, right?

Adding the 130 yuan I just slipped in, that's over 200 yuan, almost 300 yuan, which is a huge sum of money at this time!

Zhang Xiangdong didn't lose his mind; he knew now wasn't the time to be eyeing the money.

So Zhang Xiangdong simply kept the location of the money in his mind, planning to seize it from Jia Zhangshi when the opportunity arose! Good.

Chapter 100: Sha Zhu Wants to Be a Sucker? Let's Pour Cold Water on Him!

Leaving aside the messy affairs between Uncle Yi and the Jia family, not long after the general meeting ended, Ye Jianchuan was still doing his physical exercises in his room when Sha Zhu and He Yushui came to his door together.

"Brother Jianchuan! Please talk some sense into my silly brother! He's going to play the good guy again!"

He Yushui's first words left Ye Jianchuan completely bewildered. "What's wrong? Shazhu! What did you do this time? Why did you make Yushui angry again?"

Sha Zhu looked reluctant, but when he saw Ye Jianchuan ask him a question, he answered anyway.

"It's nothing... I just saw you arguing with Uncle Yi at the hospital-wide meeting today. Isn't Uncle Yi a nice guy? Why were you arguing with him?"

In my opinion, Uncle Yi is definitely angry with you. I was thinking of trying to mediate between you two around 140, to avoid things getting too tense.

Ye Jianchuan was a little surprised when he heard this, because he did not expect that Sha Zhu would not stand on Qin Huairu's side this time, but on Uncle Yi's side.

"Shazhu, let me ask you, was there anything wrong with what I said at the hospital-wide meeting today?"

Sha Zhu shook his head, and Ye Jianchuan continued, "So... do you think we should help your Sister Qin more, or help that old woman Jia Zhangshi more?"

Upon hearing this question, Sha Zhu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Ye Jianchuan continued to question, "Then let me ask you again, what made you realize that this old man is a good person?"

Upon hearing this question, Sha Zhu had something to say: "Uncle Yi is usually so good to me! When I beat up Xu Damao, he always stood on my side and helped me!"

When He Daqing first ran away, it was Uncle Yi who helped me out; otherwise, Yu Shui and I definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on!

Besides, Uncle Yi is usually very fair in his dealings, and he's the top elder in the neighborhood. If he weren't fair, would the neighborhood committee have let him be the top elder?

Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Ye Jianchuan sneered, "Hmph, you think he's a good person just because of this? Then let me ask you, if you say he's fair, then why does he always side with you when you have conflicts with others?"

Does siding with you equate to fairness? Do you even know what his action is called from someone else's perspective? Rain! You tell your brother what that's called!"

He Yushui immediately chimed in, "That's called taking sides!"

Ye Jianchuan nodded. "Did you hear that? That's called taking sides! Can someone who takes sides be called impartial? You can't ignore this point just because you're the beneficiary of taking sides!"

After saying that, Ye Jianchuan paused for a moment, and then continued, "So, do you know why Uncle Yi is so good to you?"

Do you remember when this old man started being nice to you? Besides being nice to you, who else had he ever been nice to before?

After stammering for a while, Sha Zhu finally answered, "He...he's been very good to me ever since He Daqing left, hasn't he?"

Before... wasn't he quite good to Jia's Dongxu brother? Even after Dongxu brother's accident, he was still quite good to Sister Qin's family!

Ye Jianchuan wanted this answer, and continued with a smile, "Then do you know why he's not good to the Chen family, not good to the Li family, and not good to Xu Damao, but only good to the two of you?"

Sha Zhu didn't know how to answer, so he shook his head.

Ye Jianchuan, however, said decisively, "That's because only you and Jia Dongxu are the two people he values ​​and who can support him in his old age!"

Since Jia Dongxu is his apprentice, and an apprentice is like half a son! In addition, Jia Dongxu lost his father a long time ago. If he takes good care of him, maybe Jia Dongxu can support him in his old age!

So from the beginning, he was only nice to Jia Dongxu!

"The reason why they were nice to you later was because you lost your father too! Your father didn't die, but after he ran away, there's a high chance he won't come back!"

Since you've lost your father, you naturally become the right person in his eyes to take care of him in his old age! That's why he's so good to you!

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment when he heard Ye Jianchuan's words, then immediately retorted, "Impossible! Uncle Yi is not that kind of person! This is your prejudice and misunderstanding of him!"

Ye Jianchuan shook his head and then said, "Why do you think I know these things?"

That's because after my father passed away, his uncle also came to visit and offer his regards! Do you really think you, Sha Zhu, are so unique?

That old man is just casting a wide net! Believe it or not, he's got his eye on some big fish right now!

There was a reason why Ye Jianchuan mentioned Uncle Yi's idea of ​​using the stick joke...

During the hospital-wide meeting just now, Ye Jianchuan already felt that something was wrong. Although Uncle Er was not as stingy as Uncle San, he should not be so indifferent to such a "huge sum" as ten yuan, right?

However, when Ye Jianchuan said he was going to give the money to Qin Huairu, Uncle Er looked indifferent. Coupled with Uncle Yi's anxious behavior, Ye Jianchuan immediately deduced that this donation was probably orchestrated by Uncle Yi himself.

Uncle Er must have just done Uncle Yi a favor by 'donating' ten yuan of Uncle Yi's money in his own name.

With this crucial information, the subsequent reasoning becomes much simpler. Since this donation drive was initiated by Grandpa Yi, why did he want to promote the donation?

Who benefits from this donation? Isn't it still the Jia family? So what is Uncle Yi's plan to get the Jia family to part with so much money?

The answer to this question is actually quite close to 2.5. The Jia family no longer has any young widows for Master Yi to be envious of.

As for Jia Zhangshi's body covered in fat, she was even less than Aunt Yi. Even if Uncle Yi liked fatty food, he wouldn't be so indiscriminate, would he?

Therefore, after ruling out Jia Zhangshi, only two answers remain: Zhang Xiangyang and Bang Geng.

However, although Zhang Xiangyang is Master Yi's apprentice, his father is still healthy and farming. It is probably impossible to rely on Zhang Xiangyang. So the final target is naturally only Bang Geng.

Upon hearing Ye Jianchuan's words, Sha Zhu naturally refused to believe them and immediately said, "Impossible! Ye Jianchuan, don't take my kindness for granted!"

"Grandpa Renyi only came to check on you because you were alone; you're overthinking it!"
