Chapter 59: Yi Yi Zhonghai looks like death, Chen Tian makes a big meal that makes the flock of beasts cry with hunger

~11 min read 2,033 words

The Deaf Old Lady, scolded by Chen Tian, shakes with anger and raises her cane to hit Chen Tian, but she has no strength.

However, her ability to endure is much better than Yi Yi Zhonghai's.

After all, she was angered into vomiting blood by Chen Tian just two days ago, so she has developed a bit of immunity.

"Chen Tian, you little beast, you just wait!"

"Daring to talk to me, the old lady, like this, sooner or later I will tear your mouth apart!"

"Keep being arrogant, you won't have many good days left!"

The Deaf Old Lady has a vicious expression; she is not a pushover either, otherwise, how could she have survived until now through the war-torn years?

She has seen plenty of thorns like Chen Tian.

Because she hasn't taken action for so many years, everyone thinks she is easy to bully.

Chen Tian remains unmoved.

"You old immortal, are you going to eat me?"

At high noon, Chen Tian makes a table full of good dishes.

Pickled fish, twice-cooked pork, spicy diced chicken, braised pork ribs, and stir-fried green beans with eggplant.

Fragrant and delicious Wuchang rice.

The entire courtyard smells a mouth-watering aroma.

"You heartless little beast, may you die a horrible death!"

The Deaf Old Lady, with a dark face, picks up her cane, cursing as she enters her room and shuts the door.

If she stays in the courtyard any longer, she will surely be driven to death by hunger.

"Chen Tian's food is really good, he's really rich."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, lie on the window, their faces full of envy.

Liu Liu Haizhong is so angry he wishes he could give each of them a big slap.

As a Level 7 fitter, his monthly salary is not low, but he has never eaten or drank like Chen Tian.

Not to mention having a whole family to support, he also doesn't have that many ration coupons.

Unlike Chen Tian, who has good things every single day.

A Level 3 engineer, the treatment is just different.

Liu Liu Haizhong is determined to become the First Uncle of the Sihe Academy; now that Yi Yi Zhonghai has fallen, Chen Tian is his biggest stumbling block.

Chen Tian is too young, and the neighborhood office might very well let him be the First Uncle; Liu Liu Haizhong cannot help but feel a bit excited.

"Humph, you little brat, once I become the First Uncle, you'll have to come and suck up to me."

A trace of jealousy flashes in Liu Liu Haizhong's eyes; by then, he will be the

Managing First Uncle of this courtyard. No matter how impressive Chen Tian is at the factory, once he returns to the courtyard, he will have to listen to him.

Middle courtyard, Yi Yi Zhonghai's house.

The First Aunt has boiled porridge for Yi Yi Zhonghai, looking miserable.

"Old Yi, at least drink some porridge. You were locked up for a night and just released, and now you've been angered into falling ill again. How can you go on without eating?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai, with a gloomy face, shakes his head.

"I have no appetite."

"That dog Chen Tian, making such a big scene at high noon, he's doing this on purpose for me to see."

"I really misjudged him. I spent my whole life catching eagles, only to have my eyes pecked by a little sparrow."

Yi Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to be removed from office like this, gripping the bedsheet tightly, wishing he could tear Chen Tian apart.

"The old lady told you not to get angry with Chen Tian for now; she will deal with Chen Tian."

"You should focus on recovering your health first."

The First Aunt sighs, "Get up and eat, I'm going to deliver food to the Deaf Old Lady."

Yi Yi Zhonghai lies on the bed, his face looking terrible.

The Jia family is once again a mess.

Bang Geng hides in the corner, smelling the aroma coming from Chen Tian's house, his mouth watering.

"Mom, Chen Tian is making something delicious, so much meat!"

"Our family hasn't had meat for days, I want to eat meat!"

Bang Geng runs home, shouting and yelling.

Without Sha Zhu's lunchbox relief, there is no longer any meat on the Jia family's table.

Bang Geng is like a wolf; he feels miserable if he doesn't eat meat for a single meal.

In the pot, corn buns are being steamed.

Qin Qin Huairu takes a cabbage out of the cellar; corn buns and stir-fried cabbage—this is the Jia family's lunch.

Yi Yi Zhonghai was angered into fainting by Chen Tian and lay at home for a whole day.

Just as he started work in the morning, he and Sha Zhu were called to the factory director's office.

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, He He Yuzhu, where did you go the day before yesterday when Engineer Chen had his accident?"

"Why were you in such a hurry to spread the news of Engineer Chen's accidental death?"

Factory Director Yang, with a dark face, is extremely angry.

The car Chen Tian was riding in rolled off a cliff; it almost scared him to death.

Chen Tian is, after all, a Level 3 engineer sent from above, shouldering the heavy responsibility of building the steel mill.

Any accident is a loss for the country.

Everyone was sent out for search and rescue, except for Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, who slipped away.

The scene was chaotic at the time, and no one noticed the two of them.

It wasn't until yesterday, when Xu Xu Damao came to report, that Factory Director Yang learned about Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu fleeing the scene.

In the afternoon, the police station also sent people to notify that Yi Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and others, including Liu Liu Haizhong, had entered the police station because of Chen Tian's matter.

After investigation, Liu Liu Haizhong was criticized and sent back to the workshop.

Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu's problems were more serious, so they were kept for questioning.

"Engineer Chen is the chief technician of the factory; his status is more important than mine as the factory director!"

"When he had an accident, not only did you two not participate in the rescue, but you also dared to take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

Factory Director Yang slams the table in anger, wishing he could fire these two directly.

"Director, we didn't stay at the scene because we went to find an ambulance."

"Chen Tian had his accident halfway back to the factory, in the wilderness; there was no medical team there, so I was in a hurry to go back to find a doctor."

"Engineer Chen is from the same courtyard as me; it's impossible for me to see him die and not help."

"The situation was urgent at the time, so I didn't have time to report to you."

Yi Yi Zhonghai had already prepared his excuse.

"That's right, Director, I was so anxious at the time, just thinking about how to save Chen Tian, that's why I followed Yi Yi Zhonghai to find a doctor."

Sha Zhu isn't a real fool, so he immediately chimed in.

Factory Director Yang looks at the two innocent-looking men with anger, half-believing them.

If it really was as they said, then it wouldn't be wrong.

They had already reached the halfway point, and the construction site's medical team didn't follow but stayed at the site, on duty.

The situation was urgent, and no one knew the specific condition of Chen Tian and the driver—whether they were dead or alive was unclear.

It is indeed possible that Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu went to find a doctor.

"Then why did you spread the news that Engineer Chen was already dead?"

"Do you know how much trouble this caused Engineer Chen?"

"Yi Yi Zhonghai, you are at least a Level 8 worker in the factory; how could you do such a stupid thing and get yourself caught by the police? This is smearing the factory's reputation!"

"If you don't explain the situation, the factory will demote you both!"

Factory Director Yang feels somewhat exhausted.

Fortunately, Chen Tian is safe and sound, so he, as the factory director, doesn't have to bear responsibility.

However, ensuring Chen Tian's life and work go smoothly is the factory's duty.

Yi Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu caused such a blunder, making Chen Tian unhappy; as the factory director, he must impose punishment.

"Director, we didn't say Engineer Chen was dead; we just passed the news of his accident to the courtyard."

"After all, we are all neighbors. I was calling on everyone to go rescue Chen Tian, organizing the whole courtyard to go protect Chen Tian's property to avoid anyone taking advantage of the chaos."

"Being taken away by the police was purely a misunderstanding; didn't they release us again?"

"Director, I guarantee that this kind of thing will absolutely not happen again."

Yi Yi Zhonghai has been in the game for decades and has long become a human spirit.

Factory Director Yang is not like Li Changhai, who is full of tricks; he is a relatively honest person without so many twists and turns.

Yi Yi Zhonghai has worked in the factory for decades; if he has no merit, he has at least put in hard work. As long as his attitude is sincere, Factory Director Yang won't make things too difficult for him.

Sha Zhu nods repeatedly on the side; at this time, he won't go against Yi Yi Zhonghai.

If he's not careful and loses his job, that would be truly stupid.

"Alright, fortunately, this matter didn't cause too much of an impact."

"I heard that an old lady in your courtyard stole things from Engineer Chen's house and was arrested."

"The police station sent people to notify that a group of prisoners will participate in labor at the steel mill, and that old lady from your courtyard is among them."

The one Factory Director Yang is talking about is Jia Jia Zhangshi.

Hearing that Jia Jia Zhangshi is also going to work at the construction site, Sha Zhu feels a bit happy.

This old white-eyed wolf ate his lunchboxes for several years, only to turn around and bite him back, making Sha Zhu roll his eyes in anger.

"The demotion is waived this time, but I'm fining each of you one month's salary!"

"From now on, focus on your work and stop with these little tricks!"

Factory Director Yang snorts coldly and waves for the two to get out.

Having had another month's salary deducted, Sha Zhu hangs his head; he worked for nothing this month—this is basically telling him to go drink the northwest wind.

Walking out of the factory director's office, all the way, workers point and whisper at the two.

Yi Yi Zhonghai's reputation is now completely ruined.

Everyone in the factory knows that Yi Yi Zhonghai is a hypocritical and selfish hypocrite, and his character is rotten to the core.

"Did you hear? Yi Yi Zhonghai and Liu Liu Haizhong teamed up to spread the rumor in the courtyard that Engineer Li died, wanting to occupy Engineer Chen's property!"

"I knew about this last night; Director Zhang from the police station went to their courtyard last night and took away a whole bunch of people."

"Why did they arrest so many people?"

"Hey, it's all because of greed. Hearing that Engineer Chen had an accident, everyone in the courtyard was scrambling to divide Engineer Chen's property, and Liu Liu Haizhong was the mastermind."

"Hey, this Liu Liu Haizhong, with his shifty eyes, I saw long ago he wasn't a good thing, but I didn't expect him to dare to target Engineer Chen."

"Isn't this blatant robbery? Why did the police station release them?"

"That's unclear, but Qin Qin Huairu from the first workshop—her mother-in-law was sentenced because she stole Engineer Chen's things."

"That's Jia Jia Dongxu's mother, right? Pah, serves her right. Jia Jia Dongxu wasn't a good thing, and his mother is clearly the same."
