Chapter 14 The uneasy Yi Zhonghai!

When Yan Bugui learned that Jia Zhang had another son, he asked the third aunt in disbelief, “Wife! How is this possible? We have lived in the same compound with the Jia family for so long, and we have never heard that the Jia family has another son besides Jia Dongxu.”

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui’s question and thought of everything that happened at noon, she smiled and introduced him to Yan Bugui: “Boss! When Section Chief Jia came to see the house at noon, I felt that Section Chief Jia looked very familiar. Later, when I learned Section Chief Jia’s name, I felt that Section Chief Jia and the Jia family might be related.”

“When Jia Zhang woke up and came out of the house, she heard the news that the separate courtyard had been divided. She did make a fuss for a while. She even thought that the first master had not helped them get the house. She scolded the first aunt for being a hen that didn’t lay eggs. The first aunt was so angry that she almost went to the hospital.”

“I saw that Jia Zhang was cursing so fiercely, so I told her the name of Section Chief Jia. After Jia Zhang learned the name of Section Chief Jia, she stopped making trouble and cried, saying that the newly moved Section Chief Jia was her long-lost eldest son. She also told us the reason why her eldest son was lost.”

When Yan Bugui heard what Third Aunt had said, he immediately asked her impatiently, “Wife! Is this new Chief Jia really the eldest son of Jia Zhang?”

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui’s question, she nodded subconsciously and replied, “That’s true, but because of the injury that happened to Section Chief Jia, he couldn’t remember many things, so he only recognized Jia Zhang now.”

When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said, he thought of the identity of the eldest son of the Jia family and said with envy: “The eldest son of the Jia family is the security chief of the steel mill. The Jia family is going to stand up again.”

When Yan Bugui said this, he suddenly thought of his uncle Yi Zhonghai. He immediately showed a gloating expression on his face and muttered to himself, “Over the years, Old Yi has been planning on how the Jia family will provide for his retirement. Now that the eldest brother of the Jia family is back, I’m afraid that Old Yi’s plans over the years will be completely in vain.”

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui’s words, she thought of Qin Huairu being Yi Zhonghai’s apprentice, and reminded Yan Bugui: “Master! Don’t forget that Qin Huairu is still Yi Zhonghai’s apprentice. As long as Qin Huairu is still Yi Zhonghai’s apprentice, she must listen to Yi Zhonghai. Do you think the Jia family can get rid of Yi Zhonghai?”

When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said and thought of Yi Zhonghai’s calculations, he showed a disdainful expression on his face and replied: “Wife! If the eldest son of the Jia family was an ordinary person, it would be very difficult for the Jia family to get rid of Yi Zhonghai’s control. The problem is that the eldest son of the Jia family is the security chief of the steel mill.”

“Although Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, he is nothing in front of the security chief of the Jia family boss. Moreover, with the ability of the Jia family boss, it is completely easy for him to find a good position for Qin Huairu.”

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui’s analysis, she suddenly realized something and said, “Master! I’m afraid our courtyard will not be peaceful from now on!”

When Yan Bugui heard what the third aunt said, he thought of Yi Zhonghai’s plan over the years, and said to the third aunt with a smile: “Wife! This is a matter between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, we must not interfere.”

When the third aunt heard Yan Bugui’s instructions, she suddenly remembered Jia Dongming pushing a brand new bicycle, carrying a chicken and a large piece of pork belly. She said to Yan Bugui with envy, “Boss! Jia Dongming went out this afternoon and came back riding a new bicycle, and bought a chicken and a large piece of pork belly. The fat on the pork belly was as thick as three fingers.”

When Yan Bugui learned that Jia Dongming had bought meat, his eyes immediately lit up and he said to the three aunts, “After Lao Yi and Lao Liu come back, I will go with them to see Chief Jia’s yard. After all, we are the three uncles in the yard. It is reasonable for us to say hello to the newcomers who have moved in.” “We workers have strength, we workers have strength, we are busy with work every day!”

Ever since Qin Huairu asked for leave and left the workshop, Yi Zhonghai began to feel uneasy, always feeling that something bad was going to happen. For this reason, when he heard the song of getting off work coming from the radio, he immediately packed up his things and walked out of the workshop.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Zhonghai finally walked back to the courtyard.

When the door god Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai coming back from get off work, he immediately stepped forward and introduced him to him: “Old Yi! Something big happened in our courtyard today. The Jia family…”

“Old Yan! What happened to the Jia family?” When Yi Zhonghai heard Yan Bugui say that something big had happened in the courtyard, he immediately thought of Qin Huairu’s request for leave in the afternoon. Without waiting for Yan Bugui to finish his words, he blurted out and asked Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui was very surprised by Yi Zhonghai’s reaction. When he thought that the Jia family was Yi Zhonghai’s designated candidate for retirement, he was relieved and introduced them to Yi Zhonghai meaningfully: “Old Yi! The Jia family is fine, but the courtyard where Engineer Xue lived has been separated, and the new resident is the security chief of your steel mill.”

Yi Zhonghai was relieved to learn that nothing had happened to the Jia family. But when he remembered that Jia Zhang had asked him for a separate courtyard house, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked Yan Bugui, “Old Yan! Did the sister-in-law of the Jia family go to the separate courtyard to make trouble?”

Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai’s reaction completely. Thinking that Yi Zhonghai’s retirement plan was about to go bankrupt because of Jia Dongming’s appearance, Yan Bugui couldn’t help but feel gloating and replied, “Old Yi! You’ve made a mistake this time. Not only did Jia’s sister-in-law not make a fuss, she was actually very happy.”

Yan Bugui’s answer made Yi Zhonghai feel a little confused, and he quickly asked Yan Bugui: “Old Yan! Are you sure that Jia’s sister-in-law didn’t go to the other courtyard to make trouble?”

When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai’s question and saw the other party’s half-believing and half-doubting expression, he answered very confidently: “Old Yi! I am sure that the sister-in-law of the Jia family did not make a fuss, because the newly moved in Chief Jia is the eldest son of the sister-in-law of the Jia family who has been separated for many years.”

“What! Jia Zhang has an older son, how is that possible?” The news revealed by Yan Bugui was like a bolt from the blue to Yi Zhonghai. Regardless of the fact that this was the gate of the courtyard, he refuted Yan Bugui’s words with a look of disbelief.

When Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai’s reaction, although his face did not change, he smiled in his heart and replied slowly: “Old Yi! I didn’t lie to you. Go to the other courtyard and take a look, and you will know.”
