Chapter 73 Rescue
Shen Zhiyu pointedly said, “I heard from people in the factory that our Master Yi always teaches his apprentices to starve themselves to death, and never teaches his apprentices any skills. He always likes to keep his skills to himself. His former apprentices have all severed their master-apprentice relationship with him. I don’t know if he treats Dongxu the same way.”

Everyone turned their eyes to Yi Zhonghai, waiting for his answer.

To be honest, most people don’t wish bad things for others, especially for Jia Dongxu. Everyone wants him to improve his technical level and earn more money so that he won’t be a burden to everyone.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the way everyone was looking at him and felt something was wrong and didn’t know how to explain it.

Jia Dongxu came to his rescue and said, “Everyone has misunderstood. It’s because I’m stupid, not because my master refused to teach me.”

Shen Zhiyu deliberately said: “Dongxu, you are not afraid to tell the truth because he holds the power to upgrade you! Don’t be afraid, he is no longer in charge of the fitter assessment work. Let’s help you find a skilled master. Masters like Second Uncle have several apprentices at level 4, and some are about to reach level 5. Are there any apprentices taught by Uncle Yi who have reached level 4?”

Yi Zhonghai looked at the people in the courtyard and knew that if he didn’t explain clearly today, this group of people would definitely turn against him. It was because the contrast between him and Liu Haizhong was too obvious!
He also felt a little resentful towards Liu Haizhong. He didn’t know what it meant to teach a disciple to starve himself.

“Don’t worry, everyone. I will definitely urge Dongxu to make progress and strive for promotion as soon as possible.” Yi Zhonghai assured repeatedly.

When Shen Zhiyu saw that everyone’s eyes were on Yi Zhonghai, he knew that it was time to start, so he asked Jia Dongxu, “Dongxu, Master Yi has accepted you as his apprentice. Will you take care of him in his old age?”

Jia Dongxu didn’t understand what was going on, but he nodded affirmatively and said, “Of course.”

Shen Zhiyu asked Yi Zhonghai again: “Uncle Yi, do you have any questions or opinions about Jia Dongxu’s answer?”

Yi Zhonghai grinned happily and said, “Dongxu is a good kid. It’s worth my training.”

Shen Zhiyu suddenly said loudly: “Yi Zhonghai, you are such a selfish villain, are you not worthy of Dongxu’s support for your old age?”

“you……”

“Zhiyu, what you said is too much.” An old lady said at the side.

“Aunt Yi, I didn’t mean to say that. It’s just that what Yi Zhonghai did was not manly enough and brought shame to the people of our city.” Shen Zhiyu said gently to the aunt.

“Tell me, why am I not worthy?” Yi Zhonghai asked with red eyes. He didn’t dare let Jia Dongxu have any wild thoughts.

Shen Zhiyu said loudly: “Dongxu will provide for your retirement in the future. Not only will he attend your funeral, but he will also take care of your medical care, food, drink, and defecation. He will pay a lot. And you just want to get something for free. Now Dongxu is in trouble, why don’t you help him through the difficult times? You are not without money.”

Now everyone understood that Shen Zhiyu wanted Yi Zhonghai to be the only one responsible for Jia Dongxu’s family affairs.

Everyone’s life is hard now, so naturally everyone would agree to hand over the Jia family to Yi Zhonghai.

“Both the old lady and I need to take medicine, where will the money come from?” Yi Zhonghai argued.

Shen Zhiyu glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said, “Where did you buy the medicine? Should we confront the doctor? Yi Zhonghai, Dongxu will provide for your retirement in the future, aren’t you grateful? Dongxu is in such a difficult situation now, and you still don’t help him. Just tell me if your behavior is selfish. If you still emphasize the difficulties and don’t help Jia Dongxu, I, as an uncle, will be dictatorial today. Find a better master for Dongxu in the factory. We will all help him get through the difficulties together, and you can take your money and go there! But I think it’s impossible for Dongxu to provide for your retirement.”

After listening to what came out of Shen Zhiyu’s mouth, Yi Zhonghai wished he could sew it up immediately. Now that it has come to this, can he just ignore Jia Dongxu?
I am afraid that not only will the initial investment be wasted, but it will also be difficult to find another such candidate for retirement care.

Even the backup that he had chosen, Sha Zhu, might end up losing everything. Everyone knew that Sha Zhu was staring at Qin Huairu every day. If Qin Huairu said anything, Sha Zhu would definitely ignore Yi Zhonghai.

“I think Banggeng and Xiaodang are still young, and they cannot do without nutrition. I want everyone to help so that the children can get more adequate nutrition. I myself was prepared to help Dongxu overcome the difficulties from the beginning.” Yi Zhonghai said gritting his teeth.

“That’s right, right? An apprentice is half a son, Dongxu is like half a child to you. What’s the point of saving all that money? Won’t it all belong to Dongxu in the future?” Shen Zhiyu said.

“Well, then, sir, what kind of contribution are you going to make?” Yi Zhonghai asked with a dark face.

Shen Zhiyu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, “As for me, my salary is low, and I have to support several younger brothers and sisters who are in school. I can’t help much financially. Besides, don’t you have me financially? With your financial resources, you can definitely support your whole family. Of course, I’m not doing nothing. I will actively connect with the street office and ask Aunt Jia and Qin Huairu for some odd jobs so that they can earn a little to supplement the family expenses.”

Yi Zhonghai knew that he was in trouble today. Shen Zhiyu had definitely planned this strategy from the beginning, and he had even taken the initiative to withdraw. Looking at Shen Zhiyu’s smug expression, he really wanted to smash that face.

“I have been ill, so I let Qin Huairu go to work at the street office alone, and I stayed at home to look after the children.”

When Jia Zhang heard that Yi Zhonghai would be in charge of her family, she had already started imagining the smell of fat pork. Asking her to work was just wishful thinking!

Shen Zhiyu just said that. He didn’t mind whether Jia Zhang went or not. As long as Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family were tied together, most of the troubles in the whole hospital would be reduced by half.

As long as there is money and good food, Jia Zhang will definitely live a stable life for a while.

The plenary session ended successfully.

Except for Yi Zhonghai, almost everyone was satisfied with the decision made at today’s conference.

Everyone admired Shen Zhiyu’s methods. As long as one was not blind, one could see that Yi Zhonghai was easily controlled by Shen Zhiyu at the conference.

No one in the entire courtyard stood up for Yi Zhonghai.

First, everyone thinks that Yi Zhonghai will rely on Jia Dongxu for his retirement in the future, so it is only natural for him to support Jia Dongxu’s family now. There is no gain without pain.

Secondly, the old fellow Yi Zhonghai is good at using moral blackmail. If you are not careful, you will fall into his trap and give the Jia family or the deaf old lady food that you yourself would not even want to eat.

Now that Shen Zhiyu has tied Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu together to live, everyone is very happy. With Yi Zhonghai, they no longer have to spend money and effort on their own.

Even his backup, Shazhu, was unusually quiet tonight.

Mainly because of Qin Huairu’s enchanting eyes, Sha Zhu’s soul had already flown away. He had no intention of paying attention to the conference at all, and naturally would not disturb the normal convening of the whole institute meeting.

The most important thing was that his sister Qin had benefited from the college-wide meeting. He was so happy that he didn’t have time to object!

Comparing the old man with Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu would definitely treat the old man as nothing without a second thought.
