Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing here carrying a turtle shell?"

Sha Zhu was instantly amused, baring his teeth and saying:

"Old lady, this is not a turtle shell, this is Jia Dongxu."

"Oh~, it's all my fault for having poor eyesight. I mistook Jia Dongxu for a turtle shell."

Everyone knew that it was not that the old lady had poor eyesight, she was clearly looking for ways to scold Jia Dongxu.

Yi Zhonghai quickly came out to smooth things over and said:

"Zhu Zi, put Dong Xu down and sit over here. Let's sit down quickly. I have an important announcement to make."

Sha Zhu hurriedly put Jia Dongxu down and quickly returned to his seat. Everyone present also sat down, staring at Yi Zhonghai, waiting for him to announce the important news.

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He stood up, cleared his throat, and said:

"Old lady, fellow neighbors, this is not the first time we have eaten together. This time I called everyone here because I have something important to announce. I would like to ask you to be witnesses."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, straightened his back, and then continued:

"From today on, I, Yi Zhonghai, will accept Bang Geng as my grandson. If Bang Geng causes any trouble in the courtyard in the future, please forgive me. If there is any problem, just come to me. I will take all the responsibility."

After these words were spoken, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

The faces of the aunt, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu were full of joy, while Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and the deaf old lady were surprised as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

"Old Yi, this happened too suddenly. You didn't even wait for Jia Zhang to come out before announcing this. Aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for you when she comes back?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and expressed his doubts.

"Old Yan, Dongxu and Xiaoqin's biological parents both agree to this. So what if Jia Zhang disagrees?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's answer, Yan Bugui nodded. There was something wrong with what he said.

Liu Haizhong was shocked for a moment but then it passed. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Only the deaf old lady was in a state of confusion, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the shock.

She glanced at Qin Huairu covertly, secretly marveling at the sharpness of this woman's methods.

It was amazing that he could come up with such a move in such a predicament, and he executed it so beautifully.

It seems that it will be extremely difficult to get Sha Zhu to get rid of Qin Huairu in the future!

Chapter 189 Jia Dongxu's selfishness refreshes everyone's cognition

"Oh, this is indeed a good thing. Uncle, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have bought some more vegetables and made more."

"I have liked Banggeng since he was a kid. He is smart and sensible. We should toast to each other for such a good thing."

Shazhu was so happy that he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

In his eyes, as long as Qin Huairu is happy, he is happy, and the thing that can make Qin Huairu happy is to let Banggeng and Xiaodang have enough food and drink.

After drinking his wine, Shazhu saw that no one had started eating yet, and he became a little anxious. What if Banggeng got hungry?

"Come on, use your chopsticks. Don't just stand there. Food has been in short supply in the past two years. It's not easy to get some meat. Hurry up."

"Come on, Uncle Zhuzi will put some meat on you. I made it with my secret ingredients. I guarantee you'll fall head over heels in love with it, hehehe."

After saying that, Sha Zhu picked up four or five pieces of pork belly for Bang Geng.

The pork belly was rosy in color and Bang Geng couldn't help it. He picked up the chopsticks and started to pick it up.

While he was picking at it, he kept saying it smelled good.

Yi Zhonghai is not a careless and heartless person like Sha Zhu. He can see that the atmosphere is a bit subtle.

But he didn't care and just thought that everyone was envious of him.

In fact, he was really overthinking it. Liu Haizhong had three sons and Yan Bugui had three sons and one daughter. Would they envy him?

"Everyone, come and eat. The point is not that I'm treating you to a meal today, but that I want you to bear witness."

"Everyone has witnessed it, I won't say much, just eat and drink well."

Yi Zhonghai stood up and scooped a bowl of chicken soup for the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady was quite touched, but she didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to turn around and tear off a big chicken leg and put it into the bowl.

What’s even more infuriating is that, I don’t know whether Qin Huairu did it on purpose or not, but her eyes were directly fixed on the deaf old lady, and she looked a little smug.

Now, the deaf old lady felt even more upset.

She secretly swore that after this meal she would find a way to drive the Jia family away, as this family was a disaster.

Why do you have to finish this meal?

She hasn't eaten meat for a long time, so she's craving for it!

At this time, everyone started eating, and their target was the braised pork. The bowl of braised pork disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The deaf old lady quickly joined the battle and took a bite. It was soft, sticky and fragrant, but the meat was a little thin and there was no feeling of oil coming up after taking a bite.

"As expected of my grandson, his cooking skills are beyond reproach."

The deaf old lady quickly put two chopsticks into the bowl and couldn't help but praise.

Shazhu didn't hear anything at all, his eyes were all on Qin Huairu and Banggeng.

After a while, the braised pork was all gone, and the most eaten was the stalks of pork.

Qin Huairu kept picking up meat for him, and her chopsticks were never idle. It was estimated that he ate one third of the stick.

Next are Jia Dongxu and Xiaodang. Jia Dongxu fully inherited Jia Zhang's shameless spirit. He kept eating even when his mouth was full of chopsticks. Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu all had some opinions about him.

Banggeng and Xiaodang are children, and adults will not argue with them. But as an adult, it is inappropriate for you to do so.

There is another reason, which is that they ate too little. Each person only ate three or four pieces and then they were gone. How could I not be angry?

This anger naturally went to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu also noticed that these people had some opinions about him, but he didn't care.

He believes that now that Banggeng has recognized Yi Zhonghai as his grandfather, Yi Zhonghai has to support him. So what if these people have objections when he has Yi Zhonghai's support?

Not only that, Jia Dongxu also came up with a bold idea.

After finishing the braised pork, he still felt hungry. The only thing that could satisfy his craving was the old hen soup.

If I bring the old hen soup home and eat it with just Bang Geng and me, we will be so full.

As soon as this thought came out, Jia Dongxu couldn't control himself anymore. He leaned over to Bang Geng's ear and began to whisper in confusion.

Sure enough, after Jia Dongxu finished speaking, Banggeng's eyes lit up instantly.

Just now he was eating the braised pork but he didn't enjoy it enough and he finished it now. He is regretting that his mouth is too small.

Now that Jia Dongxu had instigated him, Banggeng was afraid that the old hen would be divided up by others again.

"Grandpa, I want to take the old hen soup home, is that okay?"

Banggeng saw Yan Bugui extending his chopsticks towards the old hen and quickly spoke.

Now, Yan Bugui's chopsticks fell and he couldn't put them back, which made him a little unhappy. He immediately started to scold:

"What did this child learn in school? Why has he been so selfish since he was young? What will he be like when he grows up?"

Yan Bugui didn't say anything too harsh, but Jia Dongxu didn't like what he said.

"I say, Old Yan, you are the only one who has no right to say this. Who in the whole hospital is as stingy as you? Who is as selfish as you?"

"You think you can teach Banggeng a lesson? Go away."

Yan Bugui was also dissatisfied and said:

"It's true that I'm usually stingy, but am I as shameless as you Jia family?"

"Old Yi invited you to dinner, and you Jia family members ate as much as you could, but you actually wanted to take the chicken soup back? Do you have any shame?"

"The old one is shameless and embarrassing, and now the young one is shameless too. There is something wrong with your family's education culture."

Jia Dongxu slammed the table, and the bowls and chopsticks on the table shook with a bang.

"What's wrong with Bang Geng eating his grandfather's food? Can't Bang Geng serve his grandfather's food?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're just anxious because you can't have chicken soup or chicken, so you're deliberately looking for trouble."

"I'm telling you, it's true that I lost my legs, but that doesn't mean that our Jia family is easy to bully. You're a teacher, but you don't have any professional ethics at all, bah."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu spat a mouthful of thick phlegm with the smell of braised pork onto Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was so angry at Jia Dongxu's counter-attack that he was blaming himself on others. Now he was spat at again. He didn't care about anything else and picked up the teacup and poured it on Jia Dongxu.

There was hot water in the teacup, which burned Jia Dongxu so much that he grimaced.

"You old thing, you dare to throw hot water on me? I'll fucking kill you."

Jia Dongxu raised the bowl and was about to throw it at Yan Bugui, but it was snatched away by Liu Haizhong who was standing next to him.

Liu Haizhong was indeed a little surprised. He knew that the Jia family was selfish and unreasonable, but he didn't expect that Banggeng, such a young child, would be so selfish.

In addition, he just heard Jia Dongxu's unreasonable words and felt a little dissatisfied.

Liu Haizhong unilaterally stated that it was now time for him, the future team leader, to step in to mediate.

"Hum, everyone, be quiet. If there is a problem, let's deal with it calmly. Are you acting like an adult if you make a fuss? Will people laugh at you if the news gets out?"

"Jia Dongxu, I have to criticize you for this. If a child is not well educated from childhood, he will be useless when he grows up. Look at your family tradition, what kind of a mess is it?"

"There are so many elders here, and he wants to take the chicken soup back. Is that something he can say? Shouldn't you be in charge?"

Chapter 190 Yi Zhonghai openly favors Bang Geng

Jia Dongxu had a stern look on his face and retorted:

"Bang Geng is only a child. Do you expect a child to understand the principles that adults know?"

"Also, Liu Haizhong, how good do you think you are at educating children? Do you think your Liu family has a good family tradition?"

"Now go back and ask Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu if they were submissive when you beat them? Has Liu Guangqi ever come back in the past few years since he got married? Ha, you still have the nerve to criticize me."

Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned dark. His pain point was that Liu Guangqi didn't come home during the holidays after getting married.

"Okay, you Jia family can do whatever you want, but if you have any problems in the future, don't come to my Liu family. I, Liu Haizhong, will never help you."

After saying that, he sat down angrily, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp of the wine.

When the deaf old lady saw that Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were both defeated, she secretly cursed the two men for being useless and stood up to start scolding them.

"None of you Jia family members are well-educated and reasonable. Bang Geng needs a proper education now. So many elders say they are doing this for his own good, but you don't appreciate it."

"Old Jia is a traitor, and Jia Zhang is mean and selfish. Now even the younger generation is like this. It's unlucky to be your neighbor for eight lifetimes."

The deaf old lady thought that because of her age and "status" she protected her, Jia Dongxu would not dare to say anything more. Unfortunately, she underestimated Jia Dongxu.

Now that Jia Dongxu has become like this, does he still care about those things?

"Okay, what's your business? When you get older, just say less and mind your own business. This way you can live longer."

"Look how anxious you are about our own family affairs? Eat your own food and drink your own food?"

The deaf old lady's hands were shaking with anger because of these words. She turned around and found Yi Zhonghai to ask him what he meant.

"Xiao Yi, this happened in your house and you invited me to dinner, do you care about this?"

Yi Zhonghai is also worried. On one side is his grandson and on the other side are several old neighbors. Isn't this a difficult task for him?

After hesitating for a while, Yi Zhonghai made a choice and said:

"If you ask me, we should all just take a step back. Why are we looking for trouble on such a nice day?"

"Besides, it's understandable that children are immature and greedy, but we adults can't be mean to children, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's words seem to be reasonable from a fair perspective, but in fact he is still biased towards Bang Geng.

When the deaf old lady heard this, she immediately understood what Yi Zhonghai meant.

She was so angry that she walked home on her crutches, since she was full anyway.

When Liu Haizhong saw the deaf old lady leave, he felt embarrassed and could not stay any longer, so he stood up, said goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and went back.

Only Yan Bugui felt sorry for the food, and after thinking it over he decided to keep it.

As long as I can eat and drink my fill and take some leftovers away, it doesn’t matter if I lose a little face.
