Chapter 127: Rumor

Yi Da Ma looked at Jia Dongxu's appearance, knew she couldn't ask anything, so she quickly got out of bed, put on shoes, and went to gather information.

From this inquiry, Yi Da Ma got so angry she almost had a heart attack.

The rumor had a nose and eyes, and the time, place, and cause were all crystal clear.

Not to mention others, even she felt it was true.

To name the contributor, it has to be Xu Damao; today, when he used someone else's telling of "Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi's Unavoidable Story," he polished it once.

Anyway, this matter was said by others, and after fermenting, various versions began to spread like crazy.

What he said was just one of the versions, only it seemed more realistic.

Having learned the truth, Yi Da Ma also went back home, still fuming.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai, she launched a full‑blown tirade.

"Yi Zhonghai, look at the good deeds you do— even a rabbit won't eat the grass by its own burrow, and you just eat meat and vegetables without restraint?"

"Ah, I can't live anymore, Yi Zhonghai, you're really something else; all these years, your infertility, I disregarded my reputation and took it upon myself."

"I didn't expect you to repay me like this? I'm blind, huh."

Yi Zhonghai was first bewildered, then Yi Da Ma exposed his old secret, leaving him both ashamed and angry.

"What nonsense are you spouting? First explain the matter clearly to me, then you can cry."

From Jia Dongxu's side, he learned nothing; this kid now only worries about his own discomfort and doesn't want to say a word to him.

Yi Da Ma was fuming.

"Fine, you want to know, right? I'll make you satisfied; let me tell you what everyone's been saying outside…"

She chattered away, recounting the whole story.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry he huffed and puffed, his face twisted and flushed.

"Who, who made my …"

Yi Da Ma jumped at his appearance, then also shouted angrily.

"What, you dare to do it, yet you're afraid of what others say."

"You shameless thing…"

Yi Zhonghai let out an angry shout.

"Enough, are you brainless? I looked for Jia Zhangshi to Having Children; others believed it and that was that, how could you also believe it?"

"You don't know my situation?"

Yi Da Ma, after Yi Zhonghai's barrage of curses, snapped back to her senses.

"Right, you can't have children."

Yi Zhonghai clutched his chest, feeling as if ten thousand arrows pierced his heart.

Jia Dongxu stared dumbfounded at his master, realizing his master was inhumane.

When his gaze met Jia Dongxu's eyes, Yi Zhonghai felt another pang in his chest.

With a "pfft" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was truly anger attacking his heart.

These two kept stabbing knives into his chest.

"Master…"

Jia Dongxu quickly supported him.

"Master, you can't have children, so you shouldn't have gotten involved with my mother at all."

"If you have desires, go find those young half‑open doors; they're no better than my mother?"

"By doing this, how am I supposed to be a person?"

Yi Zhonghai, just after being supported by Jia Dongxu, felt somewhat relieved, but hearing Jia Dongxu's words made his chest ache again, his head tilted, and he fainted.

After Yi Zhonghai called her awake, Yi Da Ma came to her senses, and now seeing Yi Zhonghai's state gave her a start.

"Old Yi, Old Yi, what's wrong with you? You can't scare me."

Wuwuwu……

"Dong Xu, Dong Xu, quickly find a vehicle and take your master to the hospital."

Jia Dongxu hesitated: you slept with my mother, and now you want me to take you to the hospital—how will others see me?

Yi Da Ma blocked her own man and gave him a shove.

"Hurry, do you just watch your master die?"

Only then did Jia Dongxu react; a life is paramount, rescue first.

He quickly found a coal‑transporting cart; there was no other way, they had just delivered coal.

When Yi Zhonghai was carried out, the courtyard folks finally realized.

"What's happening to Yi Zhonghai?"

"What else could it be? The matter blew up, Jia Dongxu raised accusations, just a show."

"Is it real or fake?"

"If you don't believe, just watch—if he doesn't reach the hospital, he won't wake up."

San Da Ye also came over, scolding.

"Stop making idle talk here."

"Jie Fang, lend a hand and get Old Yi to the hospital first."

At this moment, He Yuzhu came out of the house, saw Yi Zhonghai's condition, and almost laughed out loud.

Yi Da Ma saw Sha Zhu and hurriedly cried out.

"Zhuzi, San Da Ye fainted, quickly take him to the hospital."

He Yuzhu looked at the sobbing Yi Da Ma, quickly restrained his expression and, pretending to be nervous, said.

"What's happening? What's happening? She was fine, how did she faint? It can't be some incurable disease, hurry, hurry, quickly…"

"Dong Xu brother, you pull ahead, I'll push from behind."

Saying that, he pressed against the rear of the cart and pushed.

Jia Dongxu, though unwilling, was still Yi Zhonghai's disciple, so he could only hold the cart and race toward the hospital.

Watching them walk away, the courtyard's gossip started again.

Someone said Yi Zhonghai was beaten by Jia Dongxu.

Someone said Yi Zhonghai was scared into fainting after being exposed.

Others said Yi Da Ma learned of it, went back and fought Yi Zhonghai desperately, and Yi Zhonghai accidentally hit his head.

The most reliable version was that Yi Zhonghai's dirty deeds were exposed, he could no longer face people, so he pretended to faint.

Xu Damao, delighted behind, thought to jump, "Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, you've got your comeuppance."

In the back yard, Yang Qing finally learned.

"Yi Zhonghai actually fainted?"

"So fragile?"

Chen Hong was still worried here.

"Yang Qing, could it be because I didn't let his plot succeed today, so he got angry and fainted?"

"That kind of generosity is too narrow!"

Yang Qing suppressed his doubt and echoed.

"Exactly, that's too ungracious."

"But in a while he'll be back; go give him some brown sugar."

"If he's not back tomorrow, we'll go to the hospital again."

Then, it will definitely be fun.

The years of resentment compressed in his heart were released a lot today.

Revenge after revenge, don't blame me for being ruthless; if I don't vent this anger, I fear I'll be suppressed into madness.

Why should an honest person be bullied and still be expected to be magnanimous?

Why?

In the hospital, after the doctor examined Yi Zhonghai, he gave him an IV drip.

"The patient's qi and blood have attacked the heart, injuring the lungs; needs a few days of rest, do not further stimulate the patient during this period."

Hearing the doctor's words, Yi Da Ma realized Yi Zhonghai's problem wasn't serious.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you."

The doctor gave a brief reminder and left.

Yan Jiecheng, He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu, upon hearing this, also breathed a sigh of relief.

They really didn't want to cause a death.

But there's nothing much; this just makes He Yuzhu uncomfortable.

Trapping him so badly, scheming him so ruthlessly, can it just end like this? That would be too cheap for him.

Yet looking at Yi Da Ma, He Yuzhu sighed.

"Let it be now; a gentleman can take revenge even after ten years."

Knowing Yi Zhonghai was fine, He Yuzhu said.

"Yi Da Ma, since the old man is fine, we'll go back."

"Shumin is looking for me and has some business."

Yi Da Ma thanked them and saw He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng off.

Jia Dongxu staying here was also awkward.

Yi Da Ma also noticed.

"Dong Xu, I believe you can understand clearly; your master definitely didn't do such a thing."

"Someone is fabricating rumors about your master."

Jia Dongxu nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

"Master's wife, then I'll also go back."

Yi Da Ma helplessly could only nod.

Spreading rumors is a mouthful, dispelling them runs you legless; she understood it well.

"It's getting late, you should go back too; tomorrow you still have work."

"When you work tomorrow, I'll ask your master for two days off."
