Yi Zhonghai's catchphrase was: "If you don't leave any offspring for our family, you're just a barren hen."
The old lady's favorite saying was: "This house was left to me by my family. You have no share in this family."
But she's so happy today.
What good thing happened?
Where to go after dinner?
"I've already made arrangements with He Hongyang's family."
Upon hearing that he was going to his house, Yi Zhonghai's expression immediately changed.
He neither wanted to see him nor was he afraid of him.
The He family has now turned their fortunes around.
The He brothers are both strong and robust young men.
He will definitely suffer if an argument breaks out.
Besides, He Hongyang is now eloquent and capable, so he doesn't want to run into him head-on at all.
"Why would I go to his house? I'm not going."
“We all live in the same courtyard. I’ve already paid the fees. As long as he can take your pulse, I guarantee our family will have a new addition next year.”
What a mess.
Yi Zhonghai took a big gulp of wine.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Are you so desperate for a baby that you can't lay eggs?"
The older woman was initially very polite, but upon hearing his words, she became furious.
The reason she has been so tolerant all these years is because she believes she has a defect.
He's the one with the defect now, so why should he keep tolerating it?
Let's just be direct and make it clear.
“I’ve already looked into it. The problem between us isn’t with me, it’s with you. In other words, it’s not that I’m sick, it’s that you’re sick.”
"It's because of your health that you can't have children. Now, if you go to He Hongyang, he can take your pulse and give you some medicine. Maybe he can cure you."
"Haven't you always wanted to have an heir? Once your illness is cured, your Yi family will have an heir."
She kept saying she was sick.
Moreover, he implied that it was his fault that they didn't have children.
Isn't that utter nonsense?!
Having children is a woman's business; what does it have to do with him?
She couldn't have children, and she even tried to blame herself.
I think she's planning a rebellion!
"Are you being too sensitive again? What kind of illnesses does He Hongyang know? If he knows how to treat illnesses, then I could be the factory director."
Although he was furious, the middle-aged woman wasn't afraid at all.
If it were in the past, perhaps she would have been more submissive and not bothered with him.
But the problem is with him now!
"They cured Director Zhang, so how could they not know how to treat patients? Director Zhang told me this himself, don't you even believe him?"
...
I'm begging for your flowers and reviews, I'd be eternally grateful and will work hard to write more.
42. Yi Zhonghai and his wife got into a fight.
It seems that Zhang Dajun came to his house these past few days to see a doctor.
So He Hongyang really does know how to treat illnesses.
But what does this have to do with him? He's not sick, so why go looking for him?
"Don't worry, I can eat and drink, there's absolutely no problem. This kind of thing has nothing to do with men."
"I've already paid my consultation fee, go and see what's wrong."
"How much did you pay?"
"20 yuan."
"What? So many!"
"Adding to the two times I spent before, it's a total of 60 yuan."
This is practically robbery.
He worked hard every day at the steel rolling mill, leaving early and returning late, but he still couldn't earn this much money.
Unexpectedly, He Hongyang's few words made her reveal everything.
It seems she's really out of her mind.
He said he was sick.
She's the one who's sick!
“He’s just trying to scam me out of my money. Go and get your money back, or don’t come back into this house.”
“He didn’t want to show it to me at first, but I had to beg him to agree. And it was all voluntary; I wasn’t tricked by him at all.”
I was shocked to hear an older woman daring to argue.
Yi Zhonghai was furious.
"Snapped!"
He slammed the bowl to the ground.
"I don't care how much money you spend, I'm not sick, I'm not going. If I can live like this, I will; if not, then so be it."
In his eyes, even if the sun rose in the west, he wouldn't believe he was sick.
He has never had a headache or fever since he was a child, so how could he be sick?
That old lady is just delusional.
She can't have children.
I've been taking medicine for so many years and nothing seems to work.
I was thinking of putting the blame on him.
This woman is absolutely insane!
Believe everything others say.
He even suspected that he was sick.
Even if everyone in the hospital is sick, Yi Zhonghai won't be sick!
The older woman was even angrier.
He wouldn't listen to a word of my kind advice.
Not only did he refuse to see a doctor, he also smashed the dishes and chopsticks.
She shouted in anger.
“If you really don’t go, then this life is over. The house belongs to my parents’ family. If you don’t want to live here, move out tomorrow.”
Yi Zhonghai never dreamed that she would dare to say such a tough thing.
In the past, when the two of them argued, he would shout loudly, and she would never dare to argue back.
As soon as he smashed the bowl, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and dared not argue with him anymore.
Now even his own bowl is broken.
Unexpectedly, instead of calming down, she became even more aggressive.
He also said the things he least wanted to hear.
"You said it yourself, you hen that lays eggs. I'd like to see how you manage without me, Yi Zhonghai. Don't regret it later."
“The problem is with you. I have no regrets at all. I’ve been blind all these years. I thought I was the problem, but I didn’t expect that the problem was with you. If it weren’t for you delaying things, I might have already had a son by now.”
She was talking more and more outrageous.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to move out right now.
But he knew he had nowhere to go.
Besides, if I go out now, the people in the yard will definitely laugh at me.
The people in the yard would definitely think they were arguing, and that he was kicked out by an old lady.
So where does his prestige lie?
The entire intermediate court.
Next to the He family's house, there are two empty houses.
That house faces south, and its location is much better than this east wing.
He had planned this before.
Once I've saved enough money, I'll buy one of them.
Although I don't have any children, I can rent out the house and collect rent.
Having a house will earn him more respect from the people in the courtyard.
And his designated caregiver, Jia Dongxu, would definitely come to curry favor with him every day.
If I were to leak a little more information...
When he gets old, he will transfer the house to whoever treats him well.
Jia Dongxu treated him like his own father, taking good care of him.
This house is the bait; he holds the fishing hook, waiting for those who will support him in his old age to come to him.
I thought we could deal with this later.
Unexpectedly, the old lady is now acting like she's gone mad, insisting that he's sick and trying to drive him away.
In that case, let's put it on the agenda as soon as possible.
I'll go find Zhang Dajun another day.
Ask him how much a house costs, and whether he can afford it.
Jia Zhangshi heard the commotion from the Yi family.
With the window open, I wish I could stretch my ears out and stick them out.
Jia Dongxu was so cold that he had to put on a blanket.
"Why open the window in this freezing weather?"
Shh! Can't you hear them arguing at home across the street?
I heard that Yi Zhonghai was arguing with an old lady.
Jia Dongxu hurriedly tried to run outside, saying, "I'll go break up the fight right now."
Jia Zhangshi grabbed him.
"It's just a couple arguing, why are you getting involved?"
"Then why are you listening to that?"
He then closed the window.
