Red Star Sihe Academy

Banggeng ran into the room excitedly, grabbing Qin Huairu's arm and shouting: "Mom! I saw Old Dog Yi eating pig head meat! I want to eat pig head meat too!"

Qin Huairu kept a straight face: "What Old Dog Yi! That is your godfather! He is your elder! You are not allowed to call your godfather that in the future."

Banggeng curled his lips: "What godfather! If he gives me pocket money, he is my godfather; if he doesn't give me pocket money, he is Old Dog Yi. Cao Weiguo, Xu Damao, and the others all call him that, and I think it sounds quite right. He is Old Dog Yi."

Qin Huairu poked Banggeng's forehead with her finger: "You! Who did you learn such impoliteness from! I'm warning you! You are not allowed to call him that in the future!"

Banggeng took a step back: "Mom, stop poking, I'm almost poked stupid by you."

Qin Huairu: "It would be better if you were poked stupid, then you wouldn't be causing trouble all day long."

Banggeng stomped his feet: "Mom! Stop talking nonsense, I want to eat pig head meat!"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you only know how to eat, why are you so greedy? Go to the cupboard and take out that half bottle of wine, I'll take you to your godfather's house to eat meat."

Banggeng obediently took out the half bottle of wine from the cupboard and dragged Qin Huairu out.

"Xiaodang, Huaihua, follow!"

Qin Huairu shouted, and Xiaodang and Huaihua followed happily.

The Eldest Aunt and Yi Zhonghai were eating happily when Qin Huairu led the three children into the room.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the door, she asked about Yi Zhonghai's health.

This made it impossible for the Eldest Aunt to say anything to drive them away.

Yi Zhonghai happily greeted Qin Huairu to sit down, and the three children rushed to the table without hesitation, reaching out to grab the pig head meat.

Qin Huairu scolded with a long face: "Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua, what are you doing! Why are you so unrefined!"

Yi Zhonghai said kindly: "Huairu, if the children are hungry, let them eat, it's fine. You sit down and eat too. Old woman, go get bowls and chopsticks for Huairu and the children."

The Eldest Aunt got up to get the bowls and chopsticks, and Qin Huairu sat down embarrassedly.

The two families sat together, with old and young, and at first glance, they looked quite like one family.

"Zhonghai!"

The Deaf Old Lady walked into the room leaning on her cane, her old face looking as if it were covered in ice: "Zhonghai! You still have the mood to eat and drink! You still have the mood to laugh and talk with a widow! Has your conscience been eaten by dogs!"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned: "Old Lady! What are you talking about! When was my conscience eaten by dogs? Why don't I know about it? Besides? What should I do if I don't eat at dinner time? What's wrong with me chatting with Huairu?"

The Deaf Old Lady tapped the table with her cane: "Did you forget something? Don't you feel like something is missing?"

Yi Zhonghai scratched his head: "Forgot something? Missing something? What and what? Old Lady, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand!"

The Deaf Old Lady trembled with anger: "Zhonghai! You are home now! But what about Zhuzi! Did you forget Zhuzi? Or do you not want to take care of Zhuzi anymore? Zhuzi is more filial to you than to his own father! How can you just ignore him like this!"

"Oh!"

Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh excitedly and shouted pretentiously: "Look at me, this old fool! How could I forget Zhuzi! I'm old, I'm really an old fool. Old Lady, thanks to your reminder, this is my fault, my fault!"

The Deaf Old Lady said with an ugly expression: "It's good that you can remember! Then tell me quickly! How can we save Zhuzi!"

Yi Zhonghai said with a troubled face: "Old Lady, I also want to save Zhuzi, but you know my situation. I was just released, and I still have a punishment on my back. I want to save Zhuzi, but I have the heart but no face. Old Lady, you are the senior in the courtyard, you have great face and great ability. For Zhuzi's matter, you still have to make the decision."

The Deaf Old Lady frowned: "I am an old woman who is almost buried in the soil, what face do I have left? Who still takes me seriously? Old Yi, you are Zhuzi's godfather, and you are also an old person in the factory. You go and beg the factory leadership. Your problem is much more serious than Zhuzi's. You were able to get out, so why can't you bring Zhuzi out along the way?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a bitter face: "Old Lady, I was able to get out because I emptied my family savings and handled things up and down. If we want to get Zhuzi out, empty words definitely won't work, but my family can no longer take out a single cent. Why don't you go find Yushui? Yushui is Zhuzi's own sister, she can't ignore her own brother, right? By the way, isn't Yushui's partner a policeman? Just let Yushui's partner use his connections and put in some effort."

Qin Huairu, who was holding pig head meat with chopsticks, looked up and said: "Eldest Uncle, don't count on Yushui. Now Yushui wishes she could sever ties with He Yuzhu. Just because of Zhuzi's matter, her partner has already fallen out with her. When Zhuzi comes back, who knows how they will fight."

Yi Zhonghai said in surprise: "What's going on? Isn't Yushui getting along well with her partner? Yushui's partner's parents also like her quite a bit, aren't they about to talk about marriage? Why did they fall out because of Zhuzi?"

Qin Huairu: "Hey, Yushui and her partner have a good relationship, but her partner's parents have opinions. A few days ago, Yushui wanted her partner to help save Shazhu. This matter was known to her partner's parents. Her partner's parents asked people to inquire about Shazhu's matter. Once they inquired, trouble started. Yushui's partner's parents are people of status. Once they heard that Shazhu had stolen public property and had been in jail, they immediately changed their faces. They firmly disagreed with this marriage and forced Yushui's partner to sever ties with Yushui. Yushui's partner couldn't resist his family, so he proposed to break up with Yushui. You tell me, once this happened, can Yushui not blame Zhuzi? Can she still be willing to spend money and effort to save Zhuzi?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai slapped the table with indignation: "Unreasonable! Unreasonable! How can Yushui's partner be so heartless! It's good that they broke up! It's good! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to rely on him after marriage."

The Deaf Old Lady stared at Yi Zhonghai: "Stop worrying about He Yushui's matter. The most important thing now is to save Zhuzi. Zhonghai, were you able to get out this time because of Cao Weiguo's connections? See if you can go and beg Cao Weiguo, say some nice words, and let Cao Weiguo help. Now Cao Weiguo is a factory leader, and it was he who had Zhuzi locked in the Security Section. As long as he speaks, Zhuzi will definitely be able to come back."

Yi Zhonghai's face turned green: "Old Lady, you know my relationship with Cao Weiguo. We have always been at odds. You ask me to beg him, you might as well ask me to jump into the moat. I, Yi Zhonghai, would rather die than bow to a despicable villain like Cao Weiguo!"

The Deaf Old Lady pulled down her face: "Zhonghai, now is not the time to be impulsive. You are my godson, and Zhuzi is my godson. Both palms and backs of the hands are meat. For you, I threw away my old face to go to Liu Haizhong's house to make trouble, and I ran to the Neighborhood Office several times to beg for you. Now you are finally out, you cannot ignore Zhuzi. If you insist on ignoring him, then I will risk it all. I don't want this old face anymore, I will go and beg Cao Weiguo. Even if I have to sell the house, I will save Zhuzi."

Yi Zhonghai said urgently: "Sell the house! Old Lady, you mustn't be impulsive! I'll go! I'll go, is that okay!"

Once he heard the Deaf Old Lady wanted to sell the house, Yi Zhonghai couldn't sit still.

He didn't want to throw money for Shazhu anymore, so after he came back, he played dumb and didn't mention saving Shazhu.

But the Deaf Old Lady wanted to sell the house, and he couldn't agree to that.

He had served the Deaf Old Lady for so many years, wasn't it just to inherit the Deaf Old Lady's legacy!

If this Deaf Old Lady sold the house, wouldn't he end up with nothing?
