Chapter 330: First Aunt

The casting workshop gradually took shape, and the expansion period of the Agricultural Machinery Factory arrived.

Yan Jiecheng, Liu Shumin, and Cao Fang entered the Agricultural Machinery Factory.

The lively courtyard also began to gradually recover its former shape.

But now the Steel Rolling Mill courtyard is quickly becoming the Agricultural Machinery Factory courtyard.

Liu Hai Zhong, Nan Yi, Yan Jiecheng, Gu Ning, Cao Fang, Liu Shumin, and Yang Qing are people of the Agricultural Machinery Factory.

This directly made the Agricultural Machinery Factory become the third power in this courtyard.

Meanwhile, the once dominant Steel Rolling Mill force has been greatly weakened.

The courtyard formally became a tripartite standoff.

Yi Zhonghai is the representative of the Steel Rolling Mill, Liu Hai Zhong is the representative of the Agricultural Machinery Factory, and Yan Fu Gui is the representative of the Street Office.

Yi Zhonghai's prestige further declined due to the decreasing number of people he could influence.

Even some people began to distance themselves from Yi Zhonghai, and nobody wanted to offend Yang Qing.

The people of the Agricultural Machinery Factory naturally rallied around Yang Qing.

The people of the Street Office, under the increasingly powerful leadership of San Da Ye, are giving Yi Zhonghai less and less face.

Even the people of the Steel Rolling Mill, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, are also cold toward Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai saw it all, and could only feel helpless fury in his heart.

Xu Damao's outburst brought him an impact far greater than he had imagined.

Yi Da Ma also saw Yi Zhonghai's powerlessness.

So she gripped her money even tighter.

Trusting anyone is not as good as trusting money.

Even Qin Huairu now feels estranged from her.

She knows it's because of Yi Zhonghai's problem.

But she still feels very uneasy in her heart.

Toward Qin Huairu, she is sincere.

The deaf old lady, observing everything, knows that Yi Zhonghai's power is gone.

She sighed a little, feeling a bit anxious, wondering what her future fate will be.

Even someone like Yi Zhonghai, who schemes to the core, has failed.

Will her old-age support still go smoothly?

She greatly envies the old lady, envying that she has Yang Qing.

Who could have imagined that in this courtyard, Yang Qing is the most caring person.

She regrets, regrets not having pulled Yang Qing in back then.

Qin Huairu's estrangement led Yi Da Ma to redirect her gaze toward the deaf old lady.

We cannot let this old lady have a bad old age, otherwise the deaf old lady's outcome will be her own future outcome.

She considered getting close to He Yuzhu, who is the most conscientious person in this courtyard, but because of Yi Zhonghai's problem, He Yuzhu no longer really associates with them.

So she hopes to exchange caring for the deaf old lady for a less miserable old age for herself.

At first the deaf old lady wondered why Yi Da Ma kept coming to her place so often.

Gradually, she sensed a clue.

She understood Yi Da Ma's idea.

In return for Yi Da Ma's devoted care,

she pointed out a clear path for Yi Da Ma.

"Xiu, now Yang Qing and Chen Hong have to go to work; the three children are usually watched by my younger sister and Lou Xiao'e."

"I think if you're not busy, you might as well come more often to the back courtyard for a walk."

Talking with smart people is reassuring.

Yi Da Ma immediately understood the deaf old lady's meaning.

She said with a bit of worry.

"Old Yi used to ……"

The deaf old lady raised her hand to stop her words.

"Little Yi is Little Yi, you are you."

Yi Da Ma thought for a moment, then suppressed her shame and embarrassment, and spoke thick‑skinned.

"Then from now on, I'll accompany you more."

The deaf old lady laughed; Xiu'er understood her meaning.

This is a heart‑for‑heart exchange.

You take care of my old age, and I will find you an old age.

For a while, the relationship between the two became more harmonious.

When Sha Zhu brought food to the deaf old lady, the number of times he saw Yi Da Ma also increased.

Although he hates Yi Zhonghai, he cannot bring himself to hate Yi Da Ma; Sha Zhu, who lost his mother at a young age, once received much maternal love from Yi Da Ma.

So the two went from Yi Da Ma constantly doting on Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu ignoring people, to gradually Sha Zhu also beginning to talk with Yi Da Ma.

And Yi Da Ma's care for her own children also made Yang Qing and Chen Hong unable to ignore it.

So the relationship between the two sides also began to improve.

As for Yi Da Ma, Yang Qing also greatly admires her.

Her character makes Yang Qing unable to bring himself to hate her.

Compared to Yi Zhonghai's scheming, Yi Da Ma's thoughtful approach is even more subtle and silent in its nourishment.

The improvement in her relationship with Yang Qing also let Yi Da Ma breathe a sigh of relief.

Taking care of Rou Dan and them, she also became more attentive.

She could think of many things that Lou Xiao'e and the elderly ladies overlooked.

This woman, who had never had children in her life, seemed to have a talent for raising children.

This might be what it means to be conscientious.

Only conscientious people can get things done well.

It's September.

Qin Huairu's side: Jia Xiao Fei started primary school.

Jia Zhangshi also began to fulfill her duty as a grandmother, taking care of Jia Ling.

Can Jia Zhangshi be more attentive to Jia Ling?

Not being hungry is already good enough; what more could you want?

Whenever Yi Da Ma saw Jia Ling covered head to toe in dirt, she felt heartbroken.

She wanted to go over and tidy the child up properly.

But her position was awkward.

She could only watch as Jia Zhangshi let Jia Ling run free.

The sorrow of being childless filled her heart with tears.

Everything belongs to others, everything belongs to others.

That sense of loss is too painful.

Often, when she returned home, she could cry enough to wet a pillow.

Heaven is so unfair; why give her heart disease, and why make her marry the castrated Yi Zhonghai?

If she met a good man, she would risk her life to bear a child.

But everything is impossible.

She is Yi Da Ma, and she has heart disease.

She is dissatisfied, but she has to rely on Yi Zhonghai to support her.

A woman with heart disease, without Yi Zhonghai, how could she live?

She and Yi Zhonghai are no different.

For her old age, she also worried herself sick.

She once helped Yi Zhonghai scheme against people.

The only difference is that she lacks men's ruthlessness.

Yi Zhonghai's fate made her realize that no matter how much scheming, it ends up empty.

Only sincere exchange can truly save oneself.

Even in Qin Huairu's case, her efforts seemed a bit futile.

Even so, she did not lose heart.

Because she knows this might be her only path.

Entrust everything to conscience.

Liu Shumin went to the Agricultural Machinery Factory; her mother came over to look at Sha Zhu's daughter for him.

Yi Da Ma also greeted this woman with a smile.

Liu Ma knew who Yi Da Ma was, probably because Liu Shumin had mentioned her beforehand, so she was a bit distant and didn't want to get close to Yi Da Ma.

Yi Da Ma didn't mind either, greeting everyone with a smile every day.

Then she went to find the deaf old lady, and together they looked after Yang Qing's child.

Yi Da Ma's flattery let Liu Ma gradually let down her guard.

Gradually, their conversations increased.

Yi Da Ma also realized that this woman was also a pitiful person, widowed early and having to support a bunch of children alone.

She almost didn't make it through those years.

She also understood why someone as beautiful and educated as Liu Shumin would marry He Yuzhu.

All that is in the past.

The reason is that Sha Zhu is a cook.
