Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

About half an hour passed.

Yi Zhonghai finally stopped crying, "My dear, please let me go."

"Lao Yi, let's go to another hospital, seek out a Chinese doctor, or try some folk remedies. I believe there will be a way to cure you."

The old lady wiped away her tears and looked at Yi Zhonghai firmly.

"Well, let's go home. It's not comfortable to stay in the hospital. Let's go home and think of a solution."

Chapter 59 Yi Zhonghai's Showdown with Jia Dongxu

Yi Zhonghai bandaged the wound on his arm and went home with the aunt.

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai sat in a chair, thinking about what he should do in the future.

With my right hand in this condition, it affects not only my work but also my daily life.

There is also the problem of communicating with the deaf old lady. She cannot write, and the old lady cannot read either. It is impossible to do this through someone else.

And Jia Dongxu, now that he is no longer the fitter who has the potential to become an eighth-level worker, will Jia Dongxu still provide for his retirement?

Without this strength, how can you maintain your authority in the courtyard?

The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more frightened he became. He could not see the direction of the future, and only darkness enveloped him.

"Old Yi, don't worry too much about work. You can do anything. We've saved some money over the years, and I can go to the street office and get some work pasting matchboxes. If we save a little in the future, it will be enough."

An old lady saw Yi Zhonghai sitting there in a daze and thought he was worried about his work problems at the steel mill, so she tried to comfort him.

"My dear, the money is enough for us to spend, but I am worried about our retirement. I have been nurturing Dongxu all these years, isn't it because I want him to take care of us in our old age?

In order to keep him relying on us, I have been suppressing him over the past few years. Otherwise, with Dongxu's intelligence, how could he still be just a third-level worker at this time?

Now that I'm in this state, I can't even be a fitter. I won't be able to teach Dongxu properly in the future. Do you think he will still support us in our old age?"

Yi Zhonghai covered his face, as if he remembered something terrible, and his expression was terrified.

"Yes, didn't you always say Dongxu is a good kid? We should take good care of him and Shazhu in the future, and he will take care of us in our old age.

If that doesn't work, we can also make a certificate, just like the old lady did, and let Dongxu take care of us in our old age and see us to the end, and we will give him the house and everything else."

An old lady half-knelt beside Yi Zhonghai, holding his trembling hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Yi Zhonghai finally recovered and said, "My dear, I'm going to the factory tomorrow to talk to my boss about the job transfer. Please make me some food. I'm hungry."

"Ah."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had calmed down, the aunt forced a smile and went to cook.

In the evening, when Jia Dongxu came home from get off work, he went to Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Master, you didn't go to work today. Sha Zhu and I asked for sick leave. How are you feeling?"

"Dongxu. You came just in time. I was planning to look for you."

Yi Zhonghai sat on a chair with his right hand on his leg, covered with a small quilt.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Jia Dongxu asked. He was not stupid. Looking at Yi Zhonghai sitting there covered with a quilt with a haggard look on his face, he could infer that something must have happened.

"Well, there's something, but don't worry about it."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a while and looked into Jia Dongxu's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from Jia Dongxu's eyes.

"Dongxu, ask yourself, how has your master treated you over the years?"

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Master, I remember everything you've done for me over the past few years.

After my father passed away, you took me in as your apprentice, taught me locksmithing skills, helped me find a wife, and provided me with a lot of support in life. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to live the life I have now."

Jia Dongxu didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai asked this, but it didn't stop him from expressing his loyalty, not to mention that what he said was the truth.

Yi Zhonghai was a little excited, and the joy on his face was beyond words. After he and Auntie discussed for an afternoon, they made an important decision to adopt Jia Dongxu as their godson.

However, Jia Zhang would definitely not agree, so they planned to ask Jia Dongxu directly for his opinion.

"Dongxu, Master won't hide it from you. Back then, I accepted you as my apprentice partly because your father and I were friends, and partly because of you."

"Me? Master, I don't quite understand."

Jia Dongxu shook his head, pretending not to understand. He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai accepted him as his apprentice in order to provide for his old age.

But he couldn't let Yi Zhonghai see that he had known about this for a long time. What Yi Zhonghai wanted was a caregiver who he could completely trust and even control, not a caregiver who was burdened with worries.

As expected, Yi Zhonghai smiled with satisfaction after hearing Jia Dongxu's answer.

"Dongxu, your master's wife and I haven't had any children for so many years. It's not that no one has advised us to adopt one, but I always feel that adopted children may not be raised well, and their character cannot be guaranteed.

Dongxu, I watched you grow up, and I know your personality best. I often think, how wonderful it would be if I had a son like you."

This was almost a naked hint, and Jia Dongxu also understood that today was a showdown.

But he didn't care. He had already made plans to provide for Yi Zhonghai's retirement. In fact, if Jia Zhang hadn't been trying to stop him, he and Yi Zhonghai would have talked it over long ago.

Take this opportunity today to settle the matter. After Yi Zhonghai leaves, this house, work station and inheritance will all be his.

He immediately knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

"Master, you don't have any children. If you don't mind, I will take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Dongxu, I knew you were a good kid."

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed and quickly helped Jia Dongxu to a successful career. After planning for so many years, wasn't it just about having someone to take care of him in his old age?

Hearing these words from Jia Dongxu, I was naturally very happy. I was so moved that tears almost came out.

"Dongxu, Master, to be honest with you, there's something wrong with your hands. You might not be able to do locksmith work anymore. You might even be transferred to another position in the future."

Yi Zhonghai had no intention of hiding this matter, and he couldn't hide it unless he stopped working at the steel mill and didn't appear in front of everyone in the courtyard.

"Master, it goes without saying that once a teacher, always a father. Whether you are a fitter or not, you will always be my master in my heart."

Jia Dongxu understood what Yi Zhonghai was up to. He was afraid that after knowing this, he would no longer recognize him as his master and would not take care of him in his old age.

Yi Zhonghai was just worrying too much. Even if Yi Zhonghai could no longer work as a fitter, Jia Dongxu would provide for his retirement.

Jia Dongxu had a clear idea in his mind that even if Yi Zhonghai could no longer work as a fitter, the steel mill would not fire him but would transfer him to other logistics positions.

But even so, Yi Zhonghai's salary is enough to support himself, and Jia Dongxu doesn't have to spend a penny.

When he retires, Yi Zhonghai will still have a pension, and his work station can be given to a third party or sold.

And after Yi Zhonghai dies, the Yi family's inheritance and house will belong to Jia Dongxu, which is reasonable.

You have to know that Yi Zhonghai has saved a lot of money over the years, at least three or four thousand yuan.

There are also the two rooms of the Yi family and the two rooms of the deaf old lady, and even the deaf old lady's inheritance.

Jia Dongxu only needs to provide for Yi Zhonghai's retirement and see him to the end of his life. This is not a very good deal.

Jia Dongxu's mind worked quickly, and he understood the pros and cons very well. Unless he couldn't survive Yi Zhonghai, how could that be possible?

He is still young and has plenty of time.

Chapter 60 Mother-Son Conflict

That night, Jia Dongxu had dinner at Yi Zhonghai's house.

Similarly, Jia Dongxu also discovered that Yi Zhonghai's right arm was shaking constantly.

Yi Zhonghai did not hide anything and told Jia Dongxu the truth.

After dinner, Jia Dongxu stood up to go home. Yi Zhonghai hesitated to speak, "Dongxu, you..."

"What's wrong? Master."

"It's okay. Tomorrow you will accompany the master to discuss the transfer with the leader."

"Okay, I'll go with the master."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, but still didn't speak.

"Lao Yi, why didn't you say it just now? Maybe Dongxu would have agreed?"

"Alas, I want Dongxu to take the initiative to speak up, so that Jia Zhangshi won't have to bite her. If we bring it up, I'm afraid Jia Zhangshi won't agree easily."

Yi Zhonghai knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was, and he would always try to get something for himself, especially since he was the one going to ask the Jia family for help. Given Jia Zhang's character, it might not be that easy.

After Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhang asked him what happened at Yi Zhonghai's house that night.

"What? Yi Zhonghai directly asked you to take care of him until the end of his life. Is this old, hopeless man no longer capable of this?"

Jia Zhang said excitedly!

"Mom! My master's hand is only injured, he's not dead yet. Can you please be more careful? Also, I've told you countless times, don't say my master is a lost cause!"

Jia Dongxu was helpless. He was already a little impatient with Jia Zhangshi. All the elderly people in other families helped the family well.

Cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, taking care of children, do not cause trouble to the family if you can.

And what about Jia Zhang?

Eating, sleeping and having good food at home every day would cause him trouble. Over the years, he has apologized and bowed his head and bent his waist countless times.

Sometimes he wondered how his father, Lao Jia, could have fallen for her. It couldn't be that his father was blind, could it?

"That's right. Dongxu, you can't agree to him. Yi Zhonghai's hand is injured now. If he can't teach you locksmith skills, what use will he be in the future?"

This is Jia Zhangshi. Yi Zhonghai wants to kick her away since she is no longer useful to him.

"Mom, I've already agreed to this, you don't have to say it anymore."

"What! You agreed! I dared to agree to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age without even asking! You unfilial son!"

Jia Zhang's sharp voice sounded, angrily cursing Jia Dongxu.

"You are such an unfilial child! Did your father and I raise you so that you can provide for others in their old age? Are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of your father?

"Old Jia, please open your eyes and take a look. Our son is going to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age. He plans to be Yi Zhonghai's son. Come up quickly and take Yi Zhonghai away. He wants to snatch our son away!"

Jia Zhang used the undead summoning again, but this time the targets of attack became Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu.

However, Jia Dongxu was not affected this time and just watched Jia Zhang perform.

Qin Huairu was holding Xiaodang, and Banggeng was standing behind him, looking at Jia Zhang curiously. His little head was full of doubts, as if he was wondering who Old Jia was?

"Dongxu, why don't you give in to your mother? It's not going to work if you keep making trouble like this."

"No, Huairu, just take the child inside. I'll take care of it."

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu with tenderness in his eyes.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu stopped trying to persuade him. She was first Jia Dongxu's wife, and only then would she be Jia Zhang's daughter-in-law.

Jia Dongxu just sat on the chair and let Jia Zhangshi roll around on the ground.

After more than ten minutes, Jia Zhang stopped without waiting for her son to give in.

"Mom, have you had enough?"

"Dongxu, do you think Mom is making a fuss? Do you know what you are doing?"

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu with red eyes. It was the first time she felt her son was so unfamiliar.

"What? Of course I know what I'm doing. I want to provide for my master, Yi Zhonghai, until his death.

After my father died, it was not easy for you to raise me. But you held on to my father's pension and refused to give it to me. If it weren't for the help of the master, I don't know how our family would have survived back then!

You said my master was being so nice to me for some reason. Do you think I don't know that? I know. I know everything.

I know Yi Zhonghai wants me to take care of him in his old age and see him to the end of his life, but I am willing to do so because that is what Yi Zhonghai deserves.

He has taken care of our family for so many years and helped us so many times. When I got married, you said you wanted to find a good-looking woman with a job in the city.

"The matchmaker brought someone to my house, and you set the rules for them. They came for a blind date, not to marry me that day! Why can't I marry a wife from the city? It's all because of you!"

This was the first time Jia Dongxu spoke to Jia Zhang like this. Over the years, he had accumulated too much resentment in his heart, which had been suppressed for too long. This time he wanted to release it.

"Later, my master introduced Huairu to me, and I fell in love with her at first sight, but you didn't want to. If I hadn't threatened you with death, would you have agreed?
