Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?

Chapter 491 Kneeling, Resentment

The Yi family in the middle courtyard.

When Yi Zhonghai opened the door and saw that it was his former beloved disciple, his expression was as calm as if he was facing a stranger, but at least he did not drive the person out.

After Qin Huairu's reminder, Jia Dongxu finally realized that his master's dislike for him was not due to the blow he suffered.

"What's the matter?" Yi Zhonghai sat back in his chair and asked coldly.

Jia Dongxu replied sheepishly, "Well... if I make any mistakes, Master is welcome to criticize me and give me a beating to calm me down.

But you can't ignore me like this, as if I were your enemy."

He actually felt quite aggrieved, so he admitted his fault sincerely on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but complain:

"Master, I understand you want a son to take care of you in your old age, but you've been having affairs outside and your reputation has been ruined. How can you take your anger out on me?"

Yi Zhonghai still replied in a cold tone: "It's none of your business, I'm just in a bad mood."

Jia Dongxu was a little unhappy, thinking that this was just treating him like a fool, otherwise why would he be so generous to Sha Zhu.

But when he thought of Qin Huairu's words and the difficult situation at home where they couldn't even afford to eat, he became furious and his legs went weak as he knelt down.

Then he said sincerely, "Master, they say a disciple is half a person, and I promised to take care of you in your old age. Can't we be more direct if there's anything we need to say?"

Yi Zhonghai finally raised his eyelids and reacted. He had been ignoring his apprentice and not giving him a good look, wasn't it just for this scene?

He has paid too many sunk costs. Even if his retirement plan changes a little, he can't just give up the Jia family. That would be too much of a loss.

"Ah..." Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply, looking very helpless:

"Dongxu, since you want to hear the truth, let's have a good chat.

So many things have happened recently, and my reputation has become a mess. Facing everyone's cold eyes and accusations, I can only remain silent.

But you, my good disciple, just stood aside and watched, never saying a word to help, which is really disheartening.

We are meant to be in a relationship where we both prosper together, but you're acting so cold now. I doubt I can count on you when I'm old."

Jia Dongxu felt more and more aggrieved, and it seemed that he was taking his anger out on himself.

He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai had a mistress outside, and he remained silent because he knew it was useless to refute it once the matter was exposed.

Sha Zhu jumped up and down to help speak up, but he was slapped in the face and laughed at the next day.

But the situation was stronger than the person, and now he was kneeling down to admit his mistake, Jia Dongxu did not dare to quibble at all, and could only admit his mistake with a tearful voice:

"I was wrong! Master, please calm down. I will take any beatings or scoldings you may have. I have always been sincere in my promise to support you in your old age.

I know I'm not smart enough, so if you need anything from now on, just tell me directly and I'll make sure it goes wherever I tell you to!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and was quite satisfied with Jia Dongxu's attitude. He thought that the decision to leave his apprentice alone was absolutely correct.

In the past, he relied on deception and persuasion to win over the Jia family, but the result seemed to make the Jia family a little arrogant and ungrateful.

Having achieved his purpose of scolding, Yi Zhonghai's tone finally softened: "Alright! As long as you know where you went wrong, get up quickly."

Jia Dongxu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then asked for help with an embarrassed look:

"Um...my family is running out of food. Master, could you lend me some more?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai almost vomited blood. He suspected that his apprentice came to him just to borrow food, rather than because he really realized his mistake.

But since they have already been dealt a heavy blow, they have to be appeased with a sweet treat, otherwise it will probably cause a deep grudge.

So he nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay, but Dongxu, my salary now has become a first-class employee, and I definitely can't support your family like before.

"Ah... I can lend you another ten kilograms of cornmeal at most. You must plan your food use in the future, otherwise you will starve."

"Thank you, Master!" Jia Dongxu was a little dissatisfied, but he could only force a smile to express his gratitude.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai finally smile, he cautiously tested:

"Um...Shazhu actually bought a bicycle. Master, do you know where he got the ticket?"

Yi Zhonghai sneered in his heart and nodded in agreement: "No need to guess, that's what I gave him!

When everyone was laughing at me, only Shazhu stood up to speak for me. Dongxu, do you think I should thank him?

You, sometimes you really should learn more from Sha Zhu..."

Yi Zhonghai doesn't mind giving his apprentices more encouragement, indicating that only unconditional support for him will bring benefits.

"Haha...I should thank you. I'll remember it!" Jia Dongxu was a little embarrassed and could only respond with a dry laugh.

He was silent for a few seconds, thinking that he had already knelt down, but in the end he only borrowed ten kilograms of corn flour. He felt a little unwilling, so he continued to test:

"Master... could you please help me with my work? It's almost the end of the month, and I still have a lot of work to do. I'm sure I'll be transferred to a more demanding position next month."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'm in a precarious situation right now. You know the higher-ups won't give me any respect at all."

Jia Dongxu really didn't want to do any heavy physical work, so he pleaded, "Can you please help me, my senior brothers? I'll work hard next month and I'm sure I can complete the task on my own."

"Hey... you have too many tasks left. Excluding Sunday, there are only three days left this month. Even if everyone works overtime to help, we may not be able to finish it."

Yi Zhonghai really regretted blocking his apprentice's skills. His original plan was to make the Jia family more dependent on him, but he didn't expect that it would end up sucking his blood.

He never expected that Jia Dongxu was so unmotivated. When he couldn't learn, he would just give up and live under his wing.

Jia Dongxu's hopes were dashed, and he immediately became dejected, and began to complain in his heart:

"I begged you before. If you were willing to help me earlier, how could you not have time?"

Yi Zhonghai was a shrewd man. Seeing his disciple's expression, he guessed something in his mind and immediately comforted him:

"Don't worry, Dongxu. Go work in another workshop for two months. When my condition gets better, I'll find a way to transfer you back."

But Jia Dongxu just nodded dejectedly, feeling hopeless about his future work and life.

It was also from this time that his filter for Yi Zhonghai gradually disappeared and he began to feel resentment.

Yi Zhonghai thought he could manipulate the Jia family at will, but he never expected that some people would take his kindness for granted.

But when this help disappears or is discounted one day, the other party will feel resentful and even repay kindness with evil.
