Chapter 512: Another Fool
Chapter 512: Another Fool
Yi Zhonghai took the money with Sha Zhu after he thanked him repeatedly, then went out and went back to Jia's house.
"Uh...Master, why are you here?" Qin Huairu greeted him awkwardly. The relationship between the two families has been a bit delicate recently.
Jia Dongxu first looked at him with resentment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
But he seemed to have thought of something, and snorted coldly in a very stubborn manner, and immediately turned around and left his back to Yi Zhonghai, as if expressing his dissatisfaction.
Although he has adapted to his new job to some extent, he still feels quite resentful towards Yi Zhonghai.
After all, who would be willing to work hard and be ostracized when they can be protected by others and relax comfortably?
After Yi Zhonghai entered the room, he only took a glance and saw clearly the shyness of his apprentice.
He secretly thought that this honest and timid child seemed to have become a little smarter after experiencing some setbacks, but not much.
He actually wanted to play hard to get on me, which seemed a bit childish and funny.
Such low-level methods are far from my own level.
So Yi Zhonghai pretended not to see it and responded to Qin Huairu with a kind face.
"Hehe... Yes, Huairu, I have something to discuss with you."
"Ah...what's the matter?" Qin Huairu was a little surprised. She was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly poured tea to entertain him.
"No, no, why are you so formal? It wasn't like this before!" Yi Zhonghai waved his hand to refuse and said in a displeased manner.
Then he took out a handful of banknotes and placed them on the table. As Qin Huairu's eyes gradually brightened, and as Jia Dongxu turned back with an expression of "as expected", he spoke:
"It's like this, Zhuzi is injured, and now he's having some difficulties in life.
He gave me all the money and bills, thinking that your master's wife would help make an extra portion and send it to you for every meal.
Zhuzi was very generous and gave two people enough rations, saying that the extra one was a reward.
This is a good job. If Yan Laokou knew about this, he would be furious.
I thought your family needed this food supplement more now, so I thought of giving this job to you.
Huairu, if you have time, please help clean the pillars occasionally. Neighbors should help each other.
Besides, the situation of our three families is not very good now, so it is time to stick together."
Yi Zhonghai used a very exaggerated style, saying that he took the initiative to help and give the opportunity, rather than asking others to do things for him, and even tried to gain favors from both sides.
Qin Huairu's bright eyes gradually showed embarrassment. She thought that her backer had returned and she could get benefits for free, but she didn't expect that she would be given a job.
But I have to admit that this is indeed a good job. Cooking an extra meal is just a by-product and it is almost a cost-free business.
Thinking about the food shortage at home, she took the money without any hesitation and quickly agreed:
"Okay! This is easy, thank you, Master!
Zhuzi has helped our family a lot in the past, so we should help each other."
Jia Dongxu had a constipated expression on his face. Although this seemed to be a win-win situation, he always felt a little upset.
Although Sha Zhu is now a eunuch, he still opposes his wife's contact with the other party.
"No! We don't want this job!" Jia Dongxu stopped loudly, even a little excited.
Qin Huairu didn't expect her man to react so strongly, and suddenly she didn't know whether she should put down the money in her hand.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai said in a helpless tone: "Hey... Dongxu, why are you doing this?
Master, I'm in trouble now and can't help you, but this is only temporary. There's no need to be angry.
Once we're through this difficult time, I'll definitely help you find a way to transfer jobs.
You wrote a letter promising to support me in my old age. We are a family, how can I really watch you live a hard life?
Hey... and you can still have a meal at the factory. Think about Huairu and Xiaodang, do you really want to refuse them this ration?"
Yi Zhonghai's tone showed a hint of disappointment, but he also appealed to his feelings and reason, and at the same time mixed in a hint of threat, which made him definitely look cunning and sly.
"I..." Jia Dongxu was speechless for a moment. He really wanted to say, "Master, if you really want to help, you can't just watch me get bullied."
Moreover, he didn't believe that Yi Zhonghai had no money to help him.
But when he saw his wife with a troubled face and his daughter with a pale and thin complexion, he couldn't say anything to refute her.
So I could only explain somewhat bitterly: "Huai Ru is already pregnant, how can she still help others with work? It's a joke."
This is just making excuses. You are too embarrassed to save face.
As a man, if you can't feed your wife and children at home, you won't have the confidence to speak tough words.
Yi Zhonghai raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued to teach earnestly:
"Dongxu, you are so confused. Your family is starving. Which is more important, face or substance?
What's more, Huairu has only been pregnant for a month. In the countryside, people are still working in the fields after seven or eight months of pregnancy. Women are still working after five or six months of pregnancy. I don't think anyone dares to laugh at her!
Although your master hasn't dared to speak loudly recently, as long as we are right, we can still get justice!"
Jia Dongxu could only lower his head in silence, which was considered as his agreement. As the saying goes, a man would not dare to refuse loudly if he didn't have the ability.
Seeing that her husband was no longer so resistant, Qin Huairu also began to persuade him: "Dongxu, I'm fine. It's not tiring to cook more."
"I...well, whatever you say!" Jia Dongxu slumped on the stool, looking unhappy.
He was not worried about Qin Huairu getting hurt, but he had a grudge against Sha Zhu.
The idiot always looked at his wife with lustful eyes, which made him very disgusted.
But no matter what Jia Dongxu's mood was, the matter was settled.
Qin Huairu didn't think too much about it. She was not worried because she had food in her hands. While happily counting the money, she was already planning how to arrange her future life.
I don’t know how much food will end up in Shazhu’s mouth, and how much benefit will be withheld.
Of course, since Jia Zhang is not here, I think it won’t be too excessive.
Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood and chatted with the gloomy Jia Dongxu for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After leaving the Jia family's door, he nodded somewhat complacently, and was very satisfied with tonight's actions.
He got something for nothing, tried to curry favor with others, and at the same time tested Jia Dongxu.
As Yi Zhonghai expected, this indecisive disciple, even though he had grown a little after encountering setbacks, was still no match for him.
It can be controlled in just a few words and cannot escape from the palm of your hand.
