Chapter 24
Scapegoat No. 2!

Liu Hui Zhen’s eyes welled up: “Chef Wang, this is too precious!”

Wang Da Ma Zi: “It’s okay, consider this a celebration for the child. Settle down. You haven’t been to the orphanage, haven’t seen the children there, it’s truly pitiful. This child being able to find a family like yours, he is a fortunate one.”

“To say something I shouldn’t, maybe, his good fortune can bring your family better days. These ancestral beliefs, they are still things to be believed in...”

After the new country was established, some things can’t be said openly, but changing the minds of the common people is not something that can happen overnight.

So, Wang Da Ma Zi spoke to Liu Hui Zhen in a low voice.

Liu Hui Zhen nodded, she also felt that Shen Yuan Chao was indeed fortunate. Before Shen Yuan Chao came, Liu Hui Zhen was living in a daze every day, thinking that perhaps she and her two daughters would starve to death on the streets.

But ever since Shen Yuan Chao came, Liu Hui Zhen felt everything was different. She was no longer living in a daze, and started to think things through, learning how to live.

Life is filled with hope!

Liu Hui Zhen got off work, carrying her lunchbox and walking towards the courtyard alley.

But just as she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw Yi Zhong Hai with a black face, standing there.

Liu Hui Zhen felt strange in her heart, but soon she heard the commotion in the alley.

“Well, if you ask me, it’s not that Yi Da Ma adopted a child, and the child is disobedient, that led to her argument with Yi Da Ye, I think Yi Zhong Hai is feeling proud because he’s now a Level 7 machinist!

He wants to divorce and marry a woman who can give birth, and he thinks Yi Da Ma is blocking his path to having children!”

“Indeed, otherwise how can it be explained? The child is not bad, and Yi Zhong Hai also has money, why wouldn’t he adopt him?

The truth is, Yi Zhong Hai still wants to have his own child, but Yi Da Ma is standing in his way!”

Yi Zhong Hai listened to the gossip of the alley neighbors, his face black.

Who spread this?

He just didn’t want to adopt Shen Yuan Chao, worried that in the end he would spend money, spend energy, and raise a white-eyed wolf. It was better to find a ready-made son like Jia Dong Xu!

Now, it’s become that he wants to divorce Yi Da Ma?

He had said it before, Shen Yuan Chao, this kid, is definitely a bad omen, keeping Shen Yuan Chao in the courtyard is a disaster.

He has only been here for a short while, and has already destroyed the reputation that Yi Zhong Hai built for many years?

Yi Zhong Hai was more and more angry!

Especially today’s fight with Yi Da Ma, it was clearly because Yi Da Ma gave the fabric to Shen Yuan Chao that he became angry.

What happened?

Shen Yuan Chao got the benefit, and he, Yi Zhong Hai, got the bad reputation, and had to take the blame?

Yi Zhong Hai had never felt so aggrieved before.

If Shen Yuan Chao was an adult, he would definitely think this was a plot by Shen Yuan Chao, and he would retaliate and strike back.

But Shen Yuan Chao is a child who hasn’t been weaned yet, what can he do?

Plot against a baby, bully the widowed and orphaned Liu Hui Zhen?

Will he still have his reputation?

To suffer a loss, and not be able to retaliate, this was simply too aggrieved for Yi Zhong Hai, this hypocritical, sanctimonious hypocrite!

But there was nothing he could do except endure it!

Who else could it be besides Shen Yuan Chao?

Could it be Liu Widow?

Yi Zhong Hai’s face turned black, he turned to look, and saw the soft Liu Widow standing there hesitantly, unable to leave or stay, and she even stammered when greeting Yi Zhong Hai.

Liu Widow stammered: “Y… Yi Da Ye!”

Yi Zhong Hai felt another choke in his heart, such a big plot, directly affecting his reputation, Liu Widow, this soft-hearted person, how could she possibly plot anything!

If she could plot like this, she wouldn’t be close to starving with her three daughters in the courtyard before.

Yi Zhong Hai’s face was cold: “Has the child’s hukou been registered?”

Liu Widow was nervous, she felt inexplicably afraid of Yi Zhong Hai now: “It… it’s done. Our hukou is now all in Nanluoguxiang.”

Yi Zhong Hai: “Then your family won’t have any allotted land from now on. When the money in your hands is used up, and the relief station doesn’t need so many people anymore, what will you do?”

Liu Hui Zhen: “We… we’ll see. We’ll find a way to live.”

Yi Zhong Hai: “Don’t regret it. Since you raised this child, then treat him well. If you mistreat him, it will affect our courtyard’s reputation, that won’t do!

The young people in our courtyard, Sha Zhu, Xu Da Mao, they’re all about to reach marrying age!”

Liu Hui Zhen: “I… I understand.”

Yi Zhong Hai felt helpless in his heart, why is this Liu Hui Zhen so soft?

He didn’t even have the mood to plot against her. It’s not worth it for Liu’s little family. When she can’t live in the city, she will regret today’s decision.

Yi Zhong Hai walked into the courtyard. The people in the courtyard looked at Yi Zhong Hai, lowering their voices, occasionally pointing at Yi Zhong Hai with their fingers.

Yi Zhong Hai felt something was wrong during this period. First, he wanted to plot against Sha Zhu, using Sha Zhu as a helper cook to control him.

In the end, Sha Zhu didn’t listen to him, he went to take the exam. Who interfered with this matter?

It wasn’t Liu Widow, could it be the deaf old lady?

Yi Zhong Hai’s pupils shrank, thinking of the deaf old lady’s bias towards Sha Zhu in the past, calling him “My grandson.”

It was indeed possible!

Yi Zhong Hai and the deaf old lady had always disagreed on the issue of retirement.

Yi Zhong Hai felt that Jia Dong Xu was the most suitable to control, to take care of him in his old age, especially in the past, when Yi Zhong Hai and Old Jia were young, their relationship wasn’t good.

They often got into fights, but Yi Zhong Hai always lost to Old Jia!

Now Old Jia is dead, Yi Zhong Hai was secretly happy, and was planning to have Old Jia’s son take care of him in his old age, so that when he died, Old Jia would have to bow to him!

But what about the deaf old lady?

She wanted Sha Zhu to take care of her in her old age, thinking that Sha Zhu is a bit of a fool, but he has a kind heart!

Jia Dong Xu had Jia Zhang Shi, and she wouldn’t take care of Yi Zhong Hai.

The deaf old lady persuaded Yi Zhong Hai several times, but Yi Zhong Hai didn’t change his mind, so the old lady decided to take matters into her own hands?

It’s probably true!

But this move of the deaf old lady completely disrupted his plan!

He was going to take care of the old lady in her old age, but the old lady was secretly favoring Sha Zhu. Yi Zhong Hai felt a thorn in his heart, but he knew that in this courtyard, he still relied on the deaf old lady.

The respected old ancestor was Yi Zhong Hai’s backing in the courtyard, even Wang Zhu Ren from the neighborhood committee gave her face!

Yi Zhong Hai could only endure it for now!

Liu Hui Zhen and Shen Yuan Chao didn’t know that because Shen Yuan Chao came, Liu Hui Zhen entered the relief station by chance, met Guo Da Niang, and changed Sha Zhu’s fate.

In the end, Yi Zhong Hai thought it was all a conspiracy by the deaf old lady!

In the end, it was still the deaf old lady who took the responsibility, and bore the blame for everything!
