Chapter 65: Yi and the Deaf Old Lady have their own calculations

"Of course there's no effect. Didn't I just say it? It was only a leg injury, not a hand injury. Tell me, tell me, is this how you take care of patients?" the doctor said, frowning.

"Slap~!" Yi Dama fiercely slapped Qin Huairu across the face.

"It's all because of you! It's all the trouble your family caused. If it weren't for your Jia family, our Lao Yi wouldn't be like this. It's all you!" Yi Dama said viciously, then rushed up and began hitting and pinching Qin Huairu.

"Enough! Stop it! What are you making a scene for? Can making a scene solve the problem?" the Deaf Old Lady said angrily, thumping her cane hard.

Seeing that the Deaf Old Lady was angry, Yi Dama let go and stopped the attack. After all, Yi Dama also knew that the main issue lay with Jia Zhangshi. If it weren't for Jia Zhangshi's lawlessness and unscrupulous retaliation, Yi Zhonghai might not have suffered such a great ordeal, to the point of becoming lame.

Then again, if it weren't for Yi Zhonghai constantly favoring Jia Zhangshi, making her think she could easily manipulate him, and fostering her lawless nature, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have suffered this ordeal either.

The doctor and nurses hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two.

Yi Dama stared viciously at Qin Huairu like an angry wolfhound; Qin Huairu's hair was disheveled, and she didn't refute, just leaned against a nurse and sobbed.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was pushed out on a bed. Clearly, he had also heard the commotion outside.

"Old lady, don't blame Huairu. Objectively speaking, this matter has nothing to do with Little Qin," Yi Zhonghai said with a pained face.

"Lao Yi, you're like this, and you're still protecting them..." Yi Dama couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Alright, stop crying! Doctor, please, take them to a ward. Can you find us a single room? Let Little Yi have a good rest," the Deaf Old Lady said.

The doctor nodded and arranged a single room for Yi Zhonghai.

The Deaf Old Lady wasn't too concerned about Yi Zhonghai's disability, as long as his hands were fine. The doctor had said that Yi Zhonghai could still run if he was in a hurry.

Being able to walk, run, and jump without needing a wheelchair was a good thing for the Deaf Old Lady. If Yi Zhonghai had to sit in a wheelchair every day, that would be a real disaster.

If Yi Zhonghai were really like that, his treatment at the factory would definitely decline, and he would never be able to restore his former prestige in the Siheyuan. The people in the Siheyuan were all fence-sitters who fawned over the powerful and trampled on the weak; who would listen to a cripple who had to sit in a wheelchair?

He could forget about having the title of First Grand Uncle ever again.

Just walking with a limp, or perhaps not even that, just walking with a hitch, the Deaf Old Lady was still quite satisfied. This way, it would not only dampen Yi Zhonghai's arrogance but also make him steady and low-key, which was beneficial to the Deaf Old Lady's interests.

"Little Yi, what do you plan to do about this?" After arriving at the ward, the Deaf Old Lady asked in a deep voice.

"That old hag Jia Zhangshi cannot stay. We must send her back to her hometown," Yi Dama said viciously.

"Huairu, you've been busy all day, you must be tired. Old lady, you take Huairu back to the... guest house first. Let Huairu get some rest early," Yi Zhonghai said.

Yi Dama knew that Yi Zhonghai was trying to send Qin Huairu away, so she nodded. Qin Huairu naturally understood this as well and also nodded, then got up and left with Yi Dama.

This afternoon, when Yi Zhonghai and his party left, they didn't say they were going back to live in the Siheyuan; they were just leaving for a while to handle matters and would return to the guest house at night.

Now, Qin Huairu couldn't go back to the Siheyuan in this state. If she went back, who knew what kind of scene would be made? After all, Qin Huairu was pregnant, and Jia Zhangshi was reckless. No matter how much of a beast Yi Zhonghai and the others were, they didn't want anything to happen to Qin Huairu and the child.

Back at the guest house, no matter how angry Jia Zhangshi was, she couldn't break in and make trouble.

"Little Yi, what are your thoughts?" Seeing that Yi Dama and Qin Huairu had left, the Deaf Old Lady asked slowly.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to send Qin Huairu away, but didn't he also have the intention of sending Yi Dama away? "Jia Zhangshi cannot be driven away for the time being. If Jia Zhangshi returns to her rural hometown, who will suppress Qin Huairu?"

"Qin Huairu will remarry if she says she will. With Qin Huairu's conditions, who couldn't she find? Besides, who isn't there at the Rolling Mill? Finding an old bachelor who can't have children but has a high salary won't be too difficult."

"Now is not the time to drive Jia Zhangshi away. We must let Jia Zhangshi keep Qin Huairu in check. Only when I have subdued Shazhu and let Shazhu marry Qin Huairu will it be the time to drive Jia Zhangshi away."

"By then, no matter where Jia Zhangshi goes to make trouble, it will be useless. In the past, Jia Zhangshi could rely on her mother-in-law relationship with Qin Huairu to tie her down and make her show filial piety. Once Qin Huairu marries Shazhu, she will naturally have nothing to do with the Jia family," Yi Zhonghai said in a deep voice.

In fact, this wasn't Yi Zhonghai's best plan. His best plan was to marry Qin Huairu himself and have her bear his children. As for Yi Dama, she would naturally be sent to the Deaf Old Lady, tied to her, and made to serve her.

If this plan didn't work, Yi Zhonghai was still prepared to take Qin Huairu and have her bear his children. If Qin Huairu showed signs of pregnancy, Yi Zhonghai would immediately have Shazhu marry her, making Shazhu not only support Qin Huairu's whole family but also support Yi Zhonghai's child.

Just thinking about it was exciting!

Yi Zhonghai was confident that the Deaf Old Lady would not object, because this also aligned with her interests.

Although the Deaf Old Lady pretended to be deaf and dumb every day, she wasn't truly deaf and dumb. She had a knack for reading people and saw through Yi Zhonghai's thoughts at a glance.

The Deaf Old Lady did not think highly of Yi Zhonghai's plan, and even less of his inner plan.

People all have biases and preferences. The older people get, the more biases and preferences they have, and they are also very stubborn.

Among the many people in the entire Siheyuan, the Deaf Old Lady didn't like anyone; she only liked Shazhu. To be precise, she liked his foolishness, his craftsmanship, and his foolish, filial manner.

However, now that Shazhu seemed to be showing signs of waking up, the Deaf Old Lady would not outwardly refute, stop, or sabotage Yi Zhonghai's plan.

The Deaf Old Lady's plan was to wait.

First, wait for Yi Zhonghai to tame Shazhu and make him the same as before; then, secretly find a wife for Shazhu, make Shazhu grateful to her, and then continuously bestow favors upon Shazhu's wife, slowly subduing the couple.

The Deaf Old Lady was also very confident, confident that with her eye for people, she couldn't possibly find an ungrateful wretch as a wife for Shazhu.

The Deaf Old Lady was prepared to find a wife for Shazhu who was obedient, filial, and soft-natured, so she would be easy to manipulate. Of course, she had to be beautiful.

The Deaf Old Lady knew that Shazhu liked beautiful women. This point didn't stump her. Beautiful girls were hard to find in the city, but they were a dime a dozen in the countryside.

Shazhu's conditions were still quite attractive to girls from the countryside.

The Deaf Old Lady's ultimate goal was to have Shazhu and his wife obediently support her in her old age. As for Yi Zhonghai, once she had completely controlled the couple, she wouldn't care whether he lived or died.

"You first think about how to talk to your old lady. Your old lady hates Jia Zhangshi to the extreme. Little Yi, let me remind you: you don't have to drive Jia Zhangshi away now, but she must be severely punished. Otherwise, she will be even more lawless in the Siheyuan."

"Come to think of it, you also have a responsibility in this. Over the years, you've spoiled Jia Zhangshi, never letting her suffer a loss."

"If she never suffers a loss, she will become lawless, and she won't be able to distinguish who is the master and who is the servant, which has led to her not even putting you in her eyes. Anyone with a clear head wouldn't treat you like this," the Deaf Old Lady said.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a gloomy face. He admitted that Jia Zhangshi was lawless and should be severely punished and taught a lesson, but he would never think it was his fault.

Just then, Yi Dama returned to the ward and asked directly, "Lao Yi, what are your plans for Jia Zhangshi?"
