Chapter 9: Heaven rewards diligence; hard work makes you strong; my great-uncle, the Nine Gates Commander, Lord Guan

Yi Zhonghai, as the highly respected elder of the siheyuan, neighbors go to him whenever they encounter matters.

Each time he could satisfactorily help resolve the matter.

In everyone's eyes, he is the "Divine Needle that Calms the Sea" in their hearts.

Now.

The "Divine Needle that Calms the Sea" knelt on the ground, crying like a child.

Seeing this, how could everyone not be moved?

Moved by the deep affection between Yi Zhonghai and his sister.

Some had even started wiping away tears.

Among them was Qin Huairu.

She was really shedding tears.

However.

Not because of Yi Zhonghai's sibling affection.

But because she now realizes that Yi Zhonghai and Lin Shengli share an inseparable blood relation and familial bond.

Yi Zhonghai has already transferred his affection for his sister onto Lin Shengli.

In the future, he probably won't rely on the Jia family for his old-age support anymore.

Of course.

If she gave up now, she wouldn't be Qin Huairu.

But she can't think of a good solution for the moment.

In her frustration, she also shed tears.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi kept giving her meaningful looks.

This made her head hurt even more.

She really worried that this brainless mother-in-law would say something inappropriate.

Exactly.

Jia Zhangshi was giving her signals, urging her to quickly think of a solution.

Best to prevent Yi Zhonghai from acknowledging Lin Shengli as kin.

Eldest Aunt supported Yi Zhonghai, wiping her tears as she said:

"Lao Yi, take care of your health; don't blame yourself too much, ah."

"Zhongyan wouldn't want to see you like this."

"The departed are gone; let us cherish Shengli."

Guan Yushan also stepped forward: "Yes, Zhonghai, you need to take care of your health."

"What the younger sibling said is right; the departed are gone."

"Most important is your nephew before you."

"Let the past be past."

Lin Shengli looked at Guan Yushan, somewhat dazed; this seemed like Shazhu's father, He Daqing?

At this time, wasn't he already run off with a widow? How did he come back?

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Guan Yushan, nodded firmly, and said to Lin Shengli:

"Child, from now on I and your aunt will be your family; we will give you the best."

Lin Shengli: "Mm, uncle, aunt, in the future I will certainly support you in your old age."

The words fell.

Lin Shengli's ears suddenly heard the system's long-absent voice:

【Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully acknowledging kin.】

【Heaven rewards diligence System successfully activated, permanently bound.】

Hearing Lin Shengli's words, Yi Zhonghai and his wife's eyes filled with hot tears.

Seeing them happy, Guan Yushan also became happy.

"Zhonghai, you couple finally have something to rely on."

"I think this child Shengli is fine; in the future he will certainly be able to support you in your old age."

"Just wait and enjoy your blessings."

"Mm, thanks to Old Brother Guan's blessing."

"Let's go drink tonight."

Hearing about drinking, Yan Bu Gui came up with a smiling face, thick-skinned, and said:

"Drinking, where should we go drink?"

Not taking advantage of a bargain is foolish.

Yi Zhonghai and Guan Yushan glanced at each other and burst into loud laughter.

They both knew Yan Bu Gui too well.

Love taking advantage of bargains, skilled at scheming, and stingy.

But he has no major faults.

Many times they also turn a blind eye.

"Old Yan, tonight come to my house; we brothers can have a good drink."

Yi Zhonghai was originally not a stingy person.

The neighbors have often received his favors, especially those who are somewhat in difficulty.

It is precisely because of this, plus he is a Level 8 Pipe Worker at the Hongxing Rolling Steel Factory, he still has relatively high prestige in the surrounding area, especially in this Siheyuan.

His words had Yan Bu Gui overjoyed; standing there, he could only grin foolishly.

At the same time.

In the system's introduction, Lin Shengli also came to understand this 【Heaven rewards diligence system】.

As the name suggests, as long as one works hard, one can obtain improvement and rewards.

Work hard, and you become stronger.

Moreover, the system will also actively issue tasks, though this is relatively rare.

Because the system has already hidden countless tasks; as long as they are completed, one can get a chance to enter a lottery.

Prizes range from skills to money, everything you could want.

According to the system, the prizes that Lin Shengli thinks of, exist.

Even prizes he cannot think of, also exist.

This also makes Lin Shengli look forward to it more and more.

With this system, it's hard not to rise.

「Shengli, what's wrong with you? Are you tired? 」

Seeing Lin Shengli remain silent, Yi Dama asked with some concern.

「Yes yes, Shengli, are you alright? 」

「You see, Uncle, I'm so happy, I got caught up chatting and forgot about you. 」

Yi Zhonghai and his wife's concern moved Lin Shengli involuntarily.

When has he ever enjoyed such care from relatives?

In his previous life, he basically had no relatives.

「Uncle, Aunt, I'm fine, I'm also happy. 」

「That's good, by the way, let me introduce you. 」

Yi Zhonghai said, pointing at Guan Yushan, and introduced:

「Shengli, he is your uncle's good elder brother, Guan Yushan, Granduncle Guan, lives next door in the Siheyuan. 」

Let me tell you, Old Brother Guan loves collecting old items, and he has an eye for them.

「Indeed, it's the "Nine Gates Commander" Guan Yushan, Granduncle Guan! 」

I thought it was Shazhu's father, He Daqing.

Now it's settled.

Nowadays, one can say there are leaks everywhere, but few people pick them up.

If you learn antique appraisal from Granduncle Guan, then life will have even more hope.

「Granduncle Guan, since you are my uncle's good brother, from now on you are my great-uncle. 」

Hearing Lin Shengli's words, Guan Yushan laughed heartily and said:

「Good, good, good, just like Zhonghai, I also gained a nephew. 」

「Good child, from now on I will be your great-uncle. 」

「If anyone dares to bully you, report my great-uncle's name. 」

Yi Zhonghai laughed and said: 「Eh eh, Old Brother Guan, with me, Yi Zhonghai, who would dare to bully Shengli? 」

「Shengli, come on, let's go home with Uncle. 」

「From now on, Uncle's home is your home. 」

At this moment.

Yan Bu Gui chuckled and said:

「Old Yi, you haven't introduced me yet. 」

Yi Zhonghai laughed 「haha」 and said:

「Shengli, he is the Third Elder of our courtyard. 」

Lin Shengli: 「Third Elder, greetings. 」

Yan Bu Gui's small eyes smiled into a slit: 「Good, good, upon first seeing you, Third Elder knew you were someone promising. 」

「Old Yi, do you know how impressive your nephew is? 」

「He's a college student; before graduating he already obtained the engineer certification; now he is still, uh, that is, the deputy section chief of the factory's technical department, personally brought here by Factory Director Yang Changzhang. 」

「At such a young age to become a leader, his future is limitless. 」

「Old Yi, you, you have to treat us. 」

Yi Zhonghai became more and more excited as he listened.

He never expected Lin Shengli to be a college student, let alone obtain the engineer certification.

That truly is limitless future.
