Chapter 104 Qin Huairu wants to recognize her relatives
At dinner time.
There was a noise in the middle courtyard, and a faint voice that sounded like Qin Huairu's was heard.
Qin Huairu blocked the door of Yi Zhonghai with a small locust flower with a stick stalk. Qin Huairu also found old clothes from nowhere. The three children were dressed in tatters, like beggars.
"Uncle Yi, should I call you uncle or father-in-law?"
Qin Huairu asked Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned from cleaning the public toilet.
Yi Zhonghai was stunned when he heard this, his expression was desolate, he quickly lowered his head, squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette without saying anything.
The aunt was making noodles and making steamed buns. She was shocked when she heard this. She quickly put down her work, looked around and whispered,
"Huai Ru, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't dare to say such nonsense. If this word gets out, the street office will have to trouble you, Uncle Yi."
"Auntie, I'm not talking nonsense. My family is almost in trouble. What can I do wrong if I bring three children to see their grandfather for some food?"
Qin Huairu deliberately wanted to make the matter bigger. The quieter the auntie was, the louder she deliberately spoke, hoping that everyone in the yard could hear it.
"In this matter, ask Uncle Yi if Dongxu is his biological son?"
When the aunt saw Qin Huairu's serious look and didn't seem to be making trouble unreasonably, she turned back to Yi Zhonghai and asked,
"Master, is what Huai Ru said true?"
Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes, sat down on the ground, and leaned against the door. He seemed to have suddenly aged ten years.
This was something he had hidden in his heart for many years and had never told anyone, not even the aunt who slept in the same bed. It was something he had wanted to say for so many years.
He had fantasized about meeting Jia Dongxu and his three grandchildren countless times, but he never thought about this embarrassing scene, being blocked at home by his daughter-in-law and asking about it.
He hopes that his grandchildren can recognize him and that they can recognize their ancestors and return to their clan, but they will never recognize each other at this moment. As long as he recognizes him at this time, endless misfortune will be waiting for him.
"Huairu, although Dongxu is my apprentice, I have always treated him as my own son. You know that your aunt and I have no children. If you want the three children to become biological relatives, your aunt and I will definitely
welcome."
Yi Zhonghai was cunning and knew that he could never admit it at this moment, so he came up with this idea.
He believed that the reason why Qin Huairu did this was just to get some money from him in the hope that he could support the Jia family, which he was willing to do. After all, they were also his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
When Qin Huairu heard this, she was very happy. She did not expect that Yi Zhonghai would compromise and be willing to support their family.
But then she thought about it, if she let the first uncle support their family, and then let Jia and Zhang family return to the countryside, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?
"Uncle Yi, don't beat around the bush, I'm just going to ask you if Dongxu is your biological son, and if Banggeng is your biological grandson."
Facing the aggressive Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai was in a dilemma. He neither dared to admit that Jia Dongxu was his biological son, nor dared to deny it.
Once he denies it, it will be even harder to admit it in the future.
He didn't even have the courage to admit that he had already had enough of so many days of torture. He got up to work every day before dawn and couldn't come back until dark. When he got home, he was as tired as a dog and didn't want to move.
He couldn't imagine that once he admitted it, he would never be able to get away with the crime of "having a relationship with that woman", and the street office would increase the punishment. He really couldn't stand the smelly, endless punishment.
"Huai Ru, I know it's not easy for you as a widow with three children. You, Uncle Yi, and I still have some savings. Do you think this will work? How about I give you ten yuan a month for living expenses?"
Yi Zhonghai was forced into a corner and had to take a stand.
When the aunt heard this, she was immediately unhappy.
Some time ago, Yang Jun was compensated a large amount of money, but now it has been demoted to a lower level by the steel rolling mill. He is getting the salary of a first-class worker, twenty-seven and a half yuan a month, barely surviving. If the Jia family is given another ten yuan, their family will
You have to tighten your belt and get by.
"Master, you are so confused. If Dongxu is not your biological son, why should we give the Jia family living expenses?"
Auntie is a good-natured person with a good temper. She usually talks softly to others. Unless she was pressed, she would not dare to speak to Yi Zhonghai in this tone.
"You old woman, what do you know? Come into the house." Yi Zhonghai got angry and pointed at the door behind him to let Auntie in.
He thought about how to suppress the matter, but the aunt not only refused to cooperate, but also kept arguing. If he had left it alone, Big Ershazi would have called him.
Although the eldest mother is soft-tempered, she still wants to divide things. She knows that it is her fault that they have no children, so she feels that it is all her fault. She usually lowers her voice in front of Yi Zhonghai and lets him do everything.
But now she suddenly heard the tidbits about Yi Zhonghai, and that he had given birth to Jia Dongxu with Jia Zhang, whom she usually despised the most. How could she bear it?
The clay Bodhisattva has three parts of earth nature, how much less the human being?
The head of her household had a child with another woman, and she had hidden the matter from him for decades. She suddenly felt that the familiar yet unfamiliar, seemingly loyal and honest man in front of her had changed.
She no longer recognizes him.
"Okay, I don't care, you can figure it out yourself."
The aunt's eyes were dull, and after muttering, she staggered back to the room.
When Yi Zhonghai saw his wife returning to the room, he immediately felt relieved.
He didn't want to press the gourd to make the gourd float. He had to press one of the two.
After taking care of Auntie, how could Qin Huairu be able to turn over the palm of Tathagata Buddha in just two moves?
"Huai Ru, what do you think of the proposal I just made?"
Qin Huairu was moved when she heard that Yi Zhonghai gave her ten yuan a month for living expenses, but she thought that if she didn't drive Jia Zhang away, the ten yuan would not reach her.
So, Qin Huairu made up her mind and continued to ask,
"Uncle Yi, let me ask you one last time, is Jia Dongxu your biological son?"
"Huai Ru, how about... twenty yuan?"
Qin Huairu seemed determined. No matter how Yi Zhonghai tried to increase money to tempt her, she would not change her mind.
As Yi Zhonghai repeatedly gave in, she became more and more convinced that Jia Dongxu was his biological son. Although Yi Zhonghai promised to give her twenty yuan a month in living expenses, it was not a long-term solution after all.
If they can recognize this relative, Yi Zhonghai will not ignore them in the future. Besides, they can also drive away the Jia and Zhang family, killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it.
She knew in her heart that Yi Zhonghai's current situation was only temporary. After the punishment was over, it was not impossible for him to return to his previous salary with his eighth-level fitter skills.
One is a temporary meal ticket, the other is a long-term job. Even fools know how to choose.
"All the young and old men in the courtyard, please come out and take a look. Yi Zhonghai did all his own sins back then and left the mess to a widow like me. How can there be any truth in this world?"
"Is it easy for me as a widow to raise three children? I have to take care of the old one and take care of the younger one. I am as tired as a dog in the factory every day. When I get home, I have to do laundry and cooking. Why is my life so hard?
"
"I'm going to hold a hospital-wide meeting and I'm asking the gentlemen to make the decision for me."
