Chapter 75: Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu have severed their master-disciple relationship

Yan Bu Gui felt very depressed.

Staring at Shazhu's back until it disappeared within his field of vision.

He then withdrew his gaze and looked toward Lin Shengli's home.

After a moment.

He let out a long sigh, shook his head, and walked toward his own home.

Walking, he muttered to himself:

"Yi Zhonghai, why didn't this old brat invite me today?"

Upon hearing Shazhu say that, he really felt a bit embarrassed.

Lin Shengli's home.

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

Guan Yushan took a sip of liquor and asked Lin Shengli:

"Shengli, I heard you guys were busy all day? You didn't even come back to rest at noon?"

Yi Zhonghai interjected:

"That's right, Shengli works like a maniac; at noon, the cafeteria staff bring his meals over."

Guan Yushan: "Good, that's how it should be—work should look like work. Apprentice, you've worked hard. Come, let me, your master, toast you with a cup."

Saying that, he lifted his wine cup.

"Master, apprentice toasts you; apprentice will drink first as a sign of respect."

Lin Shengli raised his cup with both hands, clinked it against the cup Guan Yushan had brought over, tilted his neck back, and drained it in one gulp.

Yi Zhonghai gave Lin Shengli a satisfied glance, then said to Guan Yushan:

"Old brother, I always thought that in fitting work, I was second, and no one in our factory dared claim first."

"Until I saw Shengli's skill with my own eyes, after that I could only rank below him."

Liu Haizhong nodded, indicating agreement:

"That's right, I, Liu Haizhong, rarely admire anyone, but Shengli, I can't help but admire him."

"He's still so young; his future prospects are limitless."

Lin Shengli humbly said: "Uncle, Second Elder, you're basically praising me to death."

Yi Zhonghai: "I haven't."

"Shengli, originally, Uncle wanted to teach you all my fitting skills."

"It seems it's not needed now."

Lin Shengli: "Uncle, you're mistaken; actually, your experience is the greatest wealth."

"As for me, I'm also lacking practice; being able to work with you, I can still learn a lot."

Yi Zhonghai laughed heartily: "Good, then it seems Uncle still has some use. Come, everyone raise your cups; let's drink together."

After drinking one cup.

Suddenly.

Jia Dongxu appeared within everyone's field of vision.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened; he slammed his wine cup onto the table with a "pa" sound, and said angrily:

"Dong Xu, what's going on?"

"Did you come over to visit at mealtime?"

"You made an appointment with Shazhu, right?"

"Just now Shazhu came, and he already tolerated it."

"Now Jia Dongxu comes again, and he can't tolerate it."

"These past few days, he has also thought a lot."

"Thinking about what the Jia family and Shazhu have done over the years, he finds it excessive."

"He can't understand why he has to keep enduring and indulging."

"Now that he has Lin Shengli, the old-age support issue is settled; he doesn't want to keep indulging."

"Especially thinking about what Jia Zhangshi has done these past few days, his hatred for the Jia family grows ever deeper."

"Hearing his words, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but stare."

"However, he soon forced a smile and said:"

"Master, sorry, I, I didn't want to come, but our family really can't put food on the table right now."

"For several days we've seen no oil or fat, just eating steamed corn buns; Bang Geng is still causing a fuss at home."

Yi Zhonghai: "What? Am I your father?"

"If you have nothing to eat, just come find me."

Guan Yushan: "Exactly, for a bit of food you don't even care about face."

Liang Ladi: "Jia Dongxu, having steamed corn buns to eat is not bad."

"And you're still being picky about it."

"Do you know that many people nowadays don't even have steamed corn buns to eat?"

Liu Haizhong: "Dong Xu, it's not the Second Elder saying this about you."

"This is just wrong of you."

"Your master is right; he's not your father, so you shouldn't keep coming to him for food."

Jia Dongxu's face had already turned ashen with anger.

But he still forced back his anger and gave a false smile, saying:

I really don't want to come, but I really have no choice.

The child is growing taller...

Yi Zhonghai interrupted, saying: "Speak, what exactly do you want to do by coming?"

Jia Dongxu: "I want to borrow some money, and also get some food, preferably some meat; if Bang Geng doesn't get meat to eat tonight, I don't know how long he'll keep making a fuss."

As expected!

Just as Yi Zhonghai thought, coming to him is either for food or to borrow money.

He gave a cold snort and said unhappily: "Nothing, I have nothing."

Jia Dongxu: "No, you can lend to Shazhu, so why can't you lend to me?"

I am your disciple, after all.

Yi Zhonghai: "I lent to Shazhu out of respect for the old lady's face."

However, I'm putting my foot down today; this is the last time.

From now on, I won't lend anymore, and I won't give anyone face.

Jia Dongxu: "Then could you lend me just one more time, please?"

Yi Zhonghai slapped the table with a 'pa' sound and stood up.

Lin Shengli quickly grabbed him, saying: "Uncle, don't get angry; getting angry at someone like this isn't worth it."

Yi Dama: "Yes, yes, old man, don't get angry, ah."

Lin Shengli looked at Jia Dongxu and said solemnly: "Jia Dongxu, hurry up and leave; you're not welcome here."

At that moment, Qin Huairu walked over, grabbed Jia Dongxu, and advised:

Dong Xu, go home first.

Eldest Uncle also has his own difficulties.

We're not lending this money, ah.

Jia Dongxu: "What difficulties could he have?"

His wages plus subsidies exceed a hundred; what's wrong with letting him borrow some money?

We have nothing left; if he doesn't lend, we'll go hungry tomorrow.

Qin Huairu: "Let me think of another way; listen, come back with me, ah."

Jia Dongxu: "Wait, let me try again; my master is very rich, I'm his disciple—if he won't lend to me, who will he lend to?"

Lin Shengli raised his brows: "Jia Dongxu, I see you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

Jia Dongxu got angry: "Lin Shengli, don't go too far!"

If it weren't for you, would my master treat me like this?

And you still say you don't welcome me?

You've only been here a short while, and...

Qin Huairu shoved him hard and shouted: "Jia Dongxu, can't you listen to some reason?"

Do you have to offend everyone before you're happy?

Saying that, she bowed to Lin Shengli: "Shengli, Eldest Uncle, sorry, Jia Dongxu is possessed today."

Jia Dongxu swallowed dryly, glanced at Qin Huairu, and was about to speak when Yi Zhonghai's voice came:

Jia Dongxu, our master-disciple fate ends here.

From today on, you are no longer my disciple, and I am no longer your master.

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but her face changed dramatically.

She was worried that Jia Dongxu would completely anger Yi Zhonghai.

Eldest Uncle, today Dong Xu is in a bad mood; please don't treat him like an ordinary person.

Jia Dongxu snorted and said to Yi Zhonghai:

It makes me seem like I really don't want to be your disciple.

I'd rather lend money to outsiders than to a disciple; what's the use of being your disciple?

Yi Zhonghai smiled, nodded, and said: "Very good, very good; I'm not unhappy either."

Originally Yi Zhonghai still felt some heartache, after all, he'd had this disciple for so many years; having no feelings would be impossible.

But upon hearing Jia Dongxu's words, he not only didn't feel heartache, but instead felt relieved.

Lin Shengli said coldly: "Jia Dongxu, disappear within three seconds, or I'll throw you out."

Upon hearing that, Jia Dongxu involuntarily shivered all over.

He had long heard that Lin Shengli possesses innate divine strength; even Shazhu is no match for him.

Qin Huairu gave an apologetic smile: "Shengli, I'll take him away now; don't argue with him, ah."

That's it.

They pulled Jia Dongxu away.

Jia Dongxu was also afraid that Lin Shengli would throw him out; otherwise Qin Huairu alone couldn't drag him away.
