Chapter 104 Exposing the Scheme, Enraging the Impoverished Family
Chapter 104 Exposing the Scheme, Enraging the Impoverished Family
After all, Yi Zhonghai knew that the old deaf man was an invaluable asset to him.
Not only can they be your advisors, but more importantly, you can support them for a small amount of money, and eventually all their assets and houses will be yours.
After the neighborhood committee started providing support to the elderly living alone, the cost of this service was reduced even further, requiring only occasional effort from Li Mei.
However, before this, some people were not convinced that this was being done, since it would cost more food and the old deaf man was already so old that it would be troublesome to take care of him.
However, this is only under the condition of not having seen through it.
Now, Cao Wei's words have brought it all to light.
Countless people's eyes turned red with envy. They didn't even need to spend any food; they only needed to serve the people occasionally to gain so many benefits!
Why should Yi Zhonghai get to monopolize such a worthwhile deal?
This house alone is something that even the most ordinary, beastly neighbors here couldn't afford even if they emptied their savings right now.
Not to mention, the other party likely has even more assets.
In this situation, the so-called moral spirit that Yi Zhonghai built up through petty favors, and the prestige that Uncle Yi currently enjoys, are practically worthless.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai also hated Cao Wei to the core.
They even blushed and cursed inwardly.
"Damn it, why isn't it going in the direction I planned?!"
At this point, who would bother with the Jia family or the other two families that were in slightly more difficulty?
It seemed that things were completely out of control.
With a soft cough, the old deaf man finally came out from the backyard.
"Alright, I trust Zhonghai's character. He took care of me when I first arrived. I will never forget this kindness, and I cannot forget it."
Now that the person in question has appeared, the other party has spoken in this way.
Those were still arguing with those beastly neighbors, so he could only temporarily abandon that idea, but his eyes were still filled with eagerness.
When those neighbors looked at Yi Zhonghai, their eyes were filled with resentment, and even jealousy.
This made Cao Wei stare at Yi Zhonghai with an extremely mocking expression.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was also in an awkward position, as his scheme had been exposed.
At that moment, Xu Fugui coughed lightly and spoke up, which helped him out of the predicament.
"Regarding the deaf old lady, we indeed didn't consider things carefully. Since this is a private matter between Yi Zhonghai and him, we won't get involved. Under these circumstances, Old Yi doesn't actually need to spend any money. As for the Jia family, let him take care of them. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression softened slightly, and he quickly began to explain.
"This is something I almost forgot. Since some people are unwilling to let go of the past and keep holding on to it, I am willing to set an example for my neighbors in the compound."
Seeing this, these beastly neighbors finally felt a little better, after all, what was the Jia family?
They were known for their insatiable greed, and the Jia family was a veritable pit of fire, yet Yi Zhonghai willingly jumped in.
This gave him a huge advantage in front of everyone, which eased the hostility he had once caused.
But at this moment, Cao Wei became unhappy, even looking at Yi Zhonghai as if he were an idiot.
"Yi Juehu, I've already given you a way out, and you still want to talk back to me like that?"
"Heh, of course you don't need to. You might as well just hold this meeting and have a private meeting between yourselves."
"It doesn't even matter whether this meeting is held or not, because you're an heirless family, and your apprentice will have to support you in your old age. Even if we don't hold this so-called help meeting, can you really not help the Jia family?"
After the old deaf man intervened, Cao Wei had no intention of continuing to expose Yi Zhonghai's shortcomings.
What he was already thinking was that when the time came, he would find an opportunity to completely cripple Yi Zhonghai.
As a result, Yi Zhonghai's sarcastic remarks provoked his anger, and he directly pointed out Yi Zhonghai's other purpose.
This really infuriated Yi Zhonghai.
His face flushed red with anger, and he almost fainted.
Good heavens, he held the academy conference, but not only did he fail to achieve one of his two objectives, both of his schemes were exposed by Cao Wei.
However, the Jia family's eyes lit up at that moment.
Although they prefer the actual lunchbox to the so-called lunchbox planned by Yi Zhonghai.
However, Yi Zhonghai is a target that can be continuously exploited, and compared to Cao Wei, he is clearly more likely to succeed, and more attainable.
Then, Jia Dongxu stepped forward with righteous indignation and said to Cao Wei, "I will not allow you to slander my master like this."
"The relationship between us, master and apprentice, is like that of father and son."
At this moment, Jia Dongxu's words only made that beastly neighbor continue to laugh with amusement, and many people even started to tease Yi Zhonghai.
"Old Yi, since we're going to rely on you, our apprentice, for our retirement, shouldn't we sign some kind of agreement or something, just in case something goes wrong later?"
"Exactly! What if the Jia family reneges on their promise later?"
"Yes, yes, yes—"
Seeing that the situation was not going well for her family, Madam Jia Zhang quickly jumped out and spoke up.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Our Jia family is a prestigious and powerful clan. Do you think we're the kind of people who would do this?"
"Old Yi, you and Old Jia used to be like brothers."
The reason Jia Zhangshi said this was because she was genuinely afraid that the other party had left some kind of note, especially since that was the time to come.
Her goal was to get rid of Yi Zhonghai, who had no descendants.
But saying this only made things worse, as it only provoked these beastly neighbors to laugh at them in public.
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
This so-called first plenary meeting ended in a series of embarrassing humiliations for Yi Zhonghai.
After Jia Dongxu and Wang Mei hurriedly helped Yi Zhonghai into the house and pinched his philtrum to wake him up, they quickly helped him into the house.
Yi Zhonghai was still furious, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at the Cao family.
"You damned little beast! I'll make you die, I'll make you die!"
After his impotent rage, Jia Dongxu, who was standing nearby, offered timely words of comfort.
"Master, we'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with this little beast in the future."
These words made Yi Zhonghai nod.
But it wasn't until Jia Dongxu left that Li Mei couldn't help but mention it again.
"Honey, all our schemes have been exposed by that little bastard. Should we really get something in writing with the Jia family?"
Although Li Mei also hated Cao Wei, she knew that all her schemes were now known to him.
It would be better to just draw up a written agreement.
After all, he could barely trust Jia Dongxu to some extent, but he really couldn't trust the credibility of that old hag Jia Zhangshi.
It's safe to say that, given Jia Dongxu's mama's boy personality, the possibility of him being able to support them in their old age is extremely low, as long as the other party is alive.
However, Yi Zhonghai, who always liked to keep a backup plan, simply shook his head at this moment.
"No, absolutely not! Otherwise, we'll be completely set up to rely on our apprentice for retirement. Wouldn't that make the Jia family's actions perfectly legitimate? Wouldn't that old hag be able to act with impunity?"
Upon hearing this, Li Mei could only sigh and nod silently.
Of course, Yi Zhonghai said these words not only because of his real calculations.
It also carried a greater intention to comfort Li Mei.
The reason he had the idea of not drawing up a written agreement.
It was also because he firmly believed that the Bang Geng was a descendant of his Yi family.
Under these circumstances, his current target has shifted from Jia Dongxu to his own son, Yi Banggeng.
That's why he was willing to not sign a written agreement, and what he was even thinking about right now was how to get rid of Li Mei so that he could bring his beloved Huai Ru and son over later.
Of course, all of this is contingent on Qin Huairu's willingness.
After all, although he had given her pleasure during their relationship, Qin Huairu was still somewhat unwilling to ask him to divorce.
Every time he thinks about it, Yi Zhonghai gets a headache.
Meanwhile, back home, Cao Wei looked at the Yi family and couldn't help but start cursing.
"Damn old bastard, you've really had your fun for a couple of days. No way, you have to learn how many eyes the Horse King has."
