Chapter 145

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, you can't blame this entirely on Chief Engineer Chen. After all, no one forced you when you adopted that old lady as your godmother!"

"And didn't you say before that you and the old lady had long been one family? You still have to take responsibility for what you should!"

"Of course, you also know Chief Engineer Chen's temper. If you really do something, Chief Engineer Chen won't give you any special privileges!"

"I think you'd better take good care of the Deaf Old Lady until Sha Zhu gets out, and don't let anything like this happen to her again!"

Everyone was hypocritically trying to dissuade him, but in reality, they had no pity in their hearts, feeling that Yi Yi Zhonghai was simply courting his own death!

The reason they said this was simply because they didn't want the old lady to be left with no one to look after her; if she died in the Sihe Academy, it would cause trouble for everyone else!

"Alright, alright, thank you all for your kindness. I know all these things, and I will definitely take good care of the old lady!"

"Rest assured, before Sha Zhu gets out, I will make sure the old lady eats and drinks well, and such things will not happen again!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai was now in a difficult position; how could he dare to test Chen Tian's bottom line? After all, with just one word from Chen Tian, his job would be gone!

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, do you think I'm joking? If the old lady is still in my house tomorrow, then I'm leaving. I'm going back to the countryside, and you can serve the old woman all by yourself!"

"Give me an answer now: are you planning to keep the old lady and serve her like an ancestor, or are you prepared for me to return to the countryside?"

The First Aunt was almost fainting with rage seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai still putting on this hypocritical act!

The First Aunt directly laid the two options before Yi Yi Zhonghai; clearly, if the

old lady didn't leave, she would definitely be leaving!

Otherwise, she felt she couldn't afford to lose face like this!

And Yi Yi Zhonghai didn't say a word; he really couldn't send the old lady away, he really didn't dare to offend Chen Tian again, nor did he dare to gamble with his job!

Clearly, Yi Yi Zhonghai's silence was his decision!

"Fine, fine, I'll just pretend I was blind to have followed a bastard like you in the first place!"

"If you want to serve this dead old woman so much, then go live with her for the rest of your life. I can't afford to lose face like this; I'm going back to the countryside first thing tomorrow morning!"

The First Aunt was now trembling all over with rage, and the vomit on her hair had already matted it all together!

Seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai's spineless behavior, the First Aunt started packing her things; it was clear she would really leave tomorrow!

And Yi Yi Zhonghai didn't try to stop her at all; he just needed to hurry and take a bath so he could send the 500 yuan to Chen Tian!

Everyone actually felt indignant for the First Aunt; Yi Yi Zhonghai was simply acting too much like a coward!

Meanwhile.

Xu Xu Damao's house.

Xu Xu Damao had just watched this good show from beginning to end.

He was incredibly happy, after all, Yi Yi Zhonghai was a petty person to begin with!

Now, not only was Sha Zhu sent to a mental hospital, but even Yi Yi Zhonghai had suffered such a huge defeat in front of Chen Tian!

Such a happy occasion made Xu Xu Damao pour himself a little drink.

After Yi Yi Zhonghai finished causing trouble and left, Lou Xiao'e also left Chen Tian's house and returned to her own.

After all, no matter what, her relationship with Chen Tian was a bit complicated now, and Lou Xiao'e didn't want others to gossip!

"Satisfying! Truly too satisfying! Chief Engineer Chen is truly amazing. Yi Yi Zhonghai has been the First Uncle in the Sihe Academy for so many years, and his methods are not ordinary!"

"But I never expected that in front of Chen Tian, he wouldn't even be worth a fart. The status of a Chief Engineer is truly amazing; he told him to pay 500 yuan, and he paid 500 yuan!"

"Luckily, that idiot Yi Yi Zhonghai couldn't bear to pay 50 yuan for rent, otherwise that damn animal Yan Yan Bugui would have gotten his hands on quite a bit of profit!"

"That bastard actually beat me to currying favor with Chen Tian; originally, all this money should have gone into my pocket!"

Xu Xu Damao was drinking and cursing Yan Yan Bugui, feeling that the benefits Yan Yan Bugui now had should have been his.

Lou Xiao'e was full of disgust and didn't even want to look at Xu Xu Damao!

In Lou Xiao'e's eyes, Xu Xu Damao was completely insatiable; given Chen Tian's style of doing things, how could he possibly let such a big profit fall into Xu Xu Damao's hands!

Seeing Lou Xiao'e treating him like a dead person again, Xu Xu Damao lost his temper!

"Lou Xiao'e, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Don't you just want to divorce me? I'm telling you, as long as you can get Chen Tian to get me a leadership position at the rolling mill!"

The next day.

First Aunt deliberately got up early and turned things over and over in the house, pretending to be packing.

In fact, she was doing it on purpose for Yi Yi Zhonghai to see; after all, her luggage had been packed last night!

She was still pretending to pack, wanting to see if Yi Yi Zhonghai would have a change of heart!

First Aunt now knew completely that if she didn't kick the Deaf Old Lady out of her house, they would never have a good life!

And First Aunt hadn't closed her eyes all night, but it wasn't entirely because of Yi Yi Zhonghai!

It was because the Deaf Old Lady, even though she had eaten until she was unconscious and almost lost her life, was snoring and grinding her teeth like a dead pig when she slept!

First Aunt was a bit dazed, but she kept packing her bags; if Yi Yi Zhonghai didn't give her an explanation, she would never stay in the house!

Yi Yi Zhonghai hadn't slept last night either; after all, the Deaf Old Lady's snoring was louder than ever!

It was also because she had eaten too much, and some residue was still blocking her throat, causing her breathing to be obstructed!

Yi Yi Zhonghai watched First Aunt moving things back and forth several times and understood her thoughts!

"Alright, think about it, what's the use of you going back to the countryside now?"

"I know you're angry at me, but things have reached this point. If I hadn't given that 500 yuan last night, and the old lady had really died in our house, what would we have done?"

"With her status, if she died in our house, wouldn't I have to spend the rest of my life in prison?"

"Now that 500 yuan has been spent, if we kick the old lady out in front of so many people, we won't have the reputation, and we won't have gained any benefits, so the 500 yuan would have been spent for nothing!"

"Calm down first. Now that the old lady has become like this, if you go back to the countryside, who will take care of her? I still have to go to the factory to work!"

Yi Yi Zhonghai was feeling worse than anyone; spending 500 yuan was killing him!

But now, he knew he had no choice. If he dared to kick the old lady out, Chen Tian would fire him from the rolling mill the next day!

Clearly, from beginning to end, Chen Tian was just playing him like a monkey, and he had stupidly jumped into the trap!

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, can you be a bit more clear-headed? You've already spent 500 yuan, just take it as a lesson. Do you really think that if you serve the old lady comfortably, the people in the courtyard will change their opinion of you?"

"You will never be the First Uncle of this courtyard again, can you just take care of yourself?"

"Sha Zhu is still in the mental hospital, do you know when he will recover and be able to come out? Are we really going to do as Chen Tian said and take care of this old lady until she dies?"

"We're so old now, we haven't even found anyone to support us in our old age, and now we have to deal with such an ancestor. Which nerve of yours is wrong?"

First Aunt was getting more and more furious; she didn't expect Yi Yi Zhonghai to be this stupid!

Clearly, when Yi Yi Zhonghai was First Uncle before, his methods were very effective!

On one hand, he built a good image in front of the courtyard, and on the other hand, he didn't suffer any losses, and even gained benefits!

But now, he hadn't gained any benefits, had lost so much money, and hadn't even gained any reputation!

Yi Yi Zhonghai couldn't say a word; he knew First Aunt was right, but he really didn't want to give up the position of First Uncle!

Even if there was only a tiny chance, Yi Yi Zhonghai wanted to try again!

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, don't dawdle with me here. Is the old lady leaving? Or am I leaving? Make a decision!"

Seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai still hesitating, First Aunt got angry!

After all, she had already said those words last night; if the old lady didn't leave their house, she wouldn't have the face to live in the courtyard anymore!

Thinking back to the scene where she and Yi Yi Zhonghai were sprayed with vomit by the Deaf Old Lady last night, First Aunt was ashamed!

Yi Yi Zhonghai still didn't say a word; he didn't have the guts to kick the old lady out!

One was that he didn't want to give up the hope of returning to the position of First Uncle, and that was simply...

He didn't dare to offend Chen Tian!

Seeing Yi Yi Zhonghai still silent, First Aunt was completely disappointed!

"Fine, Yi Yi Zhonghai, I've lived with you for so many years, and I finally see how disgusting you are!"

"You brainless waste, go spend the rest of your life with that dead old woman, I'm not staying in this house!"

First Aunt had completely given up hope on Yi Yi Zhonghai!

She took the luggage she had packed last night and left the house!

Yi Yi Zhonghai didn't try to stop her; he knew that if he ran out to chase her, First Aunt wouldn't agree to come back, and he would just be a laughingstock for the people in the courtyard!

"First Aunt, are you really leaving? You've lived in the courtyard for so many years, it won't be convenient for you to go back now!"

"That's right, First Aunt, persuade Yi Yi Zhonghai again. What can't be discussed? Don't just run away from home!"

"Yi Yi Zhonghai lost so much money last night, I think he should have learned his lesson, why is he so stubborn!"

"This isn't something Yi Yi Zhonghai can decide, even Chief Engineer Chen has stepped in. It won't be easy for him to shift the blame." Seeing First Aunt really intending to leave with her luggage, the crowd stepped forward to persuade her.
