The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 92 The Jia Family's Worries

Li Qin fled to Beijing alone, completely alone, with no troublesome elders above him and no young relatives to take care of below.

If we just find a suitable wife for Li Qin, he will be the perfect person to take care of his parents.

At this moment, the older woman understood why Yi Zhonghai had suddenly become interested.

"So what do you plan to do?"

The older woman knew that since Yi Zhonghai had an idea now, he must have already come up with a specific plan.

All major matters at home are decided by Yi Zhonghai, so she doesn't need to worry.

At this moment, a look of helplessness flashed across Yi Zhonghai's face;

"Originally, I planned to observe Li Qin's character and personality first. If he was suitable, I would talk to him. As long as Li Qin agreed to support us in our old age, I would find a way to get him a job at the steel rolling mill."

An older woman thought Yi Zhonghai's idea was correct.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai continued;

"I just didn't expect that before I could even start taking action, Li Qin would find a job at the steel rolling mill on his own."

Upon hearing this, the older woman showed a look of surprise.

As Yi Zhonghai's wife, she naturally knew how difficult it was to get into a steel rolling mill.

Logically speaking, Li Qin, a penniless and powerless young man, would not have been able to enter the steel rolling mill without anyone's help.

But the fact is that the other party did it.

"So what are your plans next?"

Before Yi Zhonghai's scheme could even begin, he discovered that the situation had changed so drastically that even the old lady wanted to know what Yi Zhonghai was thinking now.

In the eyes of this middle-aged woman, apart from his somewhat obsessive attitude towards retirement, Yi Zhonghai was absolutely a moral gentleman in every other respect.

Even if the older woman vaguely sensed that Yi Zhonghai was hiding something, she would subconsciously avoid thinking about it because of her infertility.

Similarly, Yi Zhonghai would not truly tell the older woman what was on his mind.

Yi Zhonghai calmly said;

"Let's wait and see. Now that Li Qin has entered the steel rolling mill, let's observe him first. As for retirement, there's no rush."

The idea of ​​having Li Qin take care of them in their old age was just a sudden thought that came to Yi Zhonghai.

He was still unsure of Li Qin's true nature and dared not make a real decision.

The older woman didn't say anything about Yi Zhonghai's decision; she just nodded slightly.

While Yi Zhonghai was talking to the older woman, the Jia family was also having a conversation.

"Son, I told you before that Yi Zhonghai is a scoundrel and not a good person, but you never believed me. Now you should know that your mother was right, right?"

Just now, after Jia Dongxu returned home, he told Jia Zhangshi and his wife about his encounter with Li Qin on the road today, as well as the conversation between Yi Zhonghai and Li Qin.

After hearing his words, Jia Zhangshi's face immediately showed a look of indignation.

Sitting across the table, Jia Dongxu's expression was also not very good.

If Jia Zhangshi had been cursing Yi Zhonghai like this before, Jia Dongxu would have stopped her long ago.

But what happened today left him with some lingering resentment.

That's why he allowed Jia Zhangshi to scold him.

"Back then, I had no choice but to make you become an apprentice so that you could learn a trade from that old dog Yi Zhonghai. I even promised to take care of that old dog Yi in his old age."

Who would have thought that this damned old dog would have other ideas now?

A fierce glint flashed in Jia Zhangshi's eyes;

Although everyone in the courtyard knew that Jia Dongxu had become Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, no one knew that there were conditions involved.

That means Jia Dongxu will be responsible for taking care of Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age.

Jia Zhangshi initially disagreed, but eventually agreed.

It wasn't just because she wanted to find a backer for the Jia family, but also because Yi Zhonghai's salary was quite high, so even if he retired in the future, it wouldn't be too difficult for him.

Jia Zhangshi believed that she had kept her promise.

Jia Dongxu usually runs around Yi Zhonghai's side without ever complaining.

There's not much difference between him and my own son.

Now Yi Zhonghai has other ideas, which Jia Zhangshi sees as a clear betrayal.

Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but mutter curses under her breath.

Hearing her curses, Jia Dongxu's eyes turned sinister.

His face grew increasingly gloomy.

Bang Geng, who had been eating with his head down, seemed to sense that something was wrong.

Although a three-year-old child cannot understand very profound things, he can already read facial expressions.

His eating movements suddenly became smaller.

The sound it made was the same.

And he would occasionally steal glances at his father and grandmother.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu, who was standing next to Banggeng, gently patted Banggeng's head to comfort him.

Then her gaze first fell on her husband, whose face was pale, and then she looked at Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, there's no point in talking about this now that things have come to this. What we need to do now is figure out what to do next."

If the old man really abandons Dongxu and chooses to retire with Xiao Li in the front yard, then our situation will be quite unfavorable.

Qin Huairu was also intelligent;

While Jia Zhangshi was still immersed in anger, she had already begun to think about the impact this matter would have on her family.

Moreover, they actively think about solutions.

As soon as she spoke, Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped cursing Yi Zhonghai.

He then nodded in agreement.

"Huai Ru, you're right. Our primary concern now is indeed what to do."

Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu regained his composure and began to think about the matter.

Suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes;

"It seems that Master has indeed considered replacing the caregiver, but it is probably just the beginning and he has not made a real decision yet."

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi nodded in agreement.

Then Qin Huairu began to recall in her mind what Jia Dongxu had just told her;

As she pondered, a strange look flashed in her eyes;

"According to your description just now, Dongxu, the old man has just started thinking about how to win over Xiao Li from the front yard."

Judging from Xiao Li's reaction, he didn't seem to have any intention of getting close to the old man; in fact, he seemed to be somewhat wary of him.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi were suddenly taken aback.

They had all focused on Yi Zhonghai's thoughts and ideas, but hadn't seriously analyzed Li Qin's reaction.

Now, after Qin Huairu's reminder, the two of them also noticed the abnormality in Li Qin's attitude.

A mocking smile appeared on Jia Zhangshi's face;

"It seems that Old Dog Yi's idea this time is wishful thinking. That kid in the front yard has no intention of taking care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age."

Jia Dongxu nodded first, then said somewhat uncertainly;

"Maybe that kid is too young and hasn't thought about these things at all."

Li Qin's age is a good disguise, and it's possible that he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai speaks in a roundabout way, so it's not surprising that Li Qin didn't understand him.

"Perhaps that kid hasn't figured these things out yet, Dongxu, don't forget that he's working at the steel rolling mill now."

This would give me more opportunities to interact with Old Dog Yi, and who knows, maybe one day Old Dog Yi will be able to persuade me.

Jia Zhangshi reminded her.
