"I'm your wife, stop being so sour with me."
"Then tell me, why was Jia Zhangshi lying at her own doorstep? Who threw excrement on her?"
The three women's curiosity was piqued.
He stared at Yan Fugui and pressed him for details.
"Do you still need to ask?"
"It must be Wan Ping'an."
"That kid used to be quite weak, but he's changed recently, becoming ruthless and vicious."
"Both the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were sent to jail by him. In the end, Yi Zhonghai paid three thousand yuan in compensation, and I guess the deaf old lady also paid quite a bit."
"He's so heartless, knocking Jia Zhangshi unconscious, leaving her at her doorstep, and then splashing her with excrement, isn't that normal?"
Yan Fugui was convinced.
It was Wan Ping'an who did it!
Actually, there are quite a few smart people in the courtyard.
He Daqing guessed it, Xu Fugui guessed it, and the deaf old lady guessed it too.
Even Liu Haizhong guessed it.
Jia family.
Jia Zhangshi also guessed it.
"Mom, I beg you, please don't provoke Wan Ping'an anymore."
"Look at the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, even they can't afford to offend Wan Ping'an. Do you think you can?"
Jia Dongxu pleaded desperately.
Madam Jia guessed that Wan Ping'an was responsible and clamored to take revenge, wanting Wan Ping'an to suffer a terrible death.
"All right!"
"I'll let him off this time!"
Even though Jia Zhangshi kept urging her to confront Wan Ping'an head-on, she didn't dare.
"Dongxu, I just figured something out."
"I know why Yi Zhonghai helped you!"
Jia Zhangshi was very pleased with herself.
"why?"
Jia Dongxu was very puzzled.
He couldn't understand it, and he felt very uneasy.
"It's actually very simple. Yi Zhonghai is already forty years old and still doesn't have children. He'll never have children in his life, so what's he worried about now?"
"There must be no one to take care of him in his old age and see him to his death."
"He helps you because he values you and wants you to take care of him in his old age and see him off when he dies."
Jia Zhangshi is not stupid at all.
On the contrary, she is quite intelligent.
"How does this work?"
Jia Dongxu never thought about taking care of someone else in their old age.
"Why not?"
“Let me tell you, if he asks you, for example, if you’re willing to take care of him in his old age.”
"Since you're willing to support him in his old age, you're practically his son, so isn't it only natural for him to take care of you?"
"Eat his food, drink his water, and let him teach you metalworking skills."
"No, you'd better become his apprentice."
“But Dongxu, you better remember this: you said you would take care of him in his old age, but you can’t actually take care of him until the end. You’re just lying to him.”
"Once he gets old and retires, we'll just kick him to the curb..."
Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes gleamed with shrewdness.
He's smart, but he's a bit heartless!
"Isn't this not good?"
Jia Dongxu still has some conscience, just not much!
"What's wrong?"
Jia Zhangshi glared at her.
Jia Dongxu then fell silent.
After dinner.
As everyone prepared to go to work.
Yi Zhonghai then sent the children in the courtyard to announce that there would be an early morning meeting.
"It's almost time to start work, so I'll get straight to the point and not take up any more of your time."
Yi Zhonghai looked at everyone.
"Old Jia is gone, and his funeral arrangements haven't been made yet."
"The Jia family was left with only a bunch of orphans and widows, and they were powerless to manage the affairs."
"I was thinking that we should all lend a hand and help out so that we can take care of Lao Jia's funeral arrangements."
"Especially young people, you..."
When talking about young people.
Yi Zhonghai stared in Wan Ping'an's direction.
"What does Jia Gensheng's funeral arrangements have to do with me?"
"You can discuss it slowly!"
Wan Ping'an turned and left.
The Jia family and the Wan family are enemies.
Of course, it wasn't that he had a grudge against him, but rather that he had a grudge against the body he was in before he transmigrated here.
But he transmigrated here, taking over the identity of his predecessor. The grudges and entanglements of his predecessor are his own, and the Jia family is his greatest enemy!
"I'm going to be late for work, you guys figure it out!"
He Daqing turned and left.
"I'm going to the countryside to film a movie. It's a long way, so I need to get there early to prepare. I won't have time to hang out with you guys!"
Xu Fugui didn't give Yi Zhonghai any face either.
Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale.
He has a list in his mind.
The list of people to be expelled from the courtyard house.
There were only three people: Wan Ping'an ranked first, and He Daqing and Xu Fugui tied for second.
To completely control the courtyard house, all three people must be driven out.
"Everyone, our Hongxing Courtyard is a united and loving courtyard. When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides!"
"Now that the Jia family is in trouble, if you don't lend a helping hand, who will help you when your family is in trouble?"
"..."
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, calmed himself, and began the brainwashing process.
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you two are also in charge."
"The Jia family is an orphan and a widow, and they have no way to handle Old Jia's funeral arrangements. As the two of you in charge, you can't just ignore it, can you?"
Yi Zhonghai then turned his attention to the other two elderly men.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were very unwilling.
But both of them were powerful figures in charge, and they couldn't break free from Yi Zhonghai's method of moral blackmail, so they had to agree even if they didn't want to.
After the morning meeting.
Before work.
Yi Zhonghai went to see the deaf old lady.
"Grandma, things aren't looking good."
“I’m an old man, but many people in the courtyard don’t listen to me.”
