The Dog King of Siheyuan Tears and Rebirth

Chapter 291 The Golden Abacus of Widow Qin and Her Daughter

At the Jia family, Qin Huairu, her mother and her daughter were lying on the bed in the inner room. Beside them, Xiao Lian was trembling with fear, "Mom, I'm scared!"

"What are you afraid of, kid? You are already sixteen years old." Qin Huairu said. Qin Huairu knew that Xiao Lian was talking about the dead Li Xuelian outside.

"Mom, I'm a little scared too. It's scary to think about it. There's a dead person lying in our yard. Do you think she will knock on the door in the middle of the night?" Xiao Dang also said, "Mom, why don't you go out and close the door tightly."

"Hey, you're really a child. What are you afraid of? Come, come closer to your mother and you won't be afraid." Qin Huairu said. She was really not afraid. She had experienced it once when Jia Dongxu died.

"Mom, you have to get up and accompany me when I go to pee at night." Xiaodang greeted in advance.

"OK, all right."

"Mom, I can't sleep right now. How about I tell you something?"

"Well, it's still early, tell me what's going on."

"Mom, what do you think will happen to Yi Zhonghai after Mrs. Li dies?" Xiaodang said.

After learning that Li Xuelian was dead, Xiao Dang started to plan. Her family was having a hard time now, and the house was too small. If her brother came back, they would have no place to live. So after learning that Li Xuelian was dead, she started to plan immediately. Moreover, since she was a child, she thought that the Yi family was the rich family in the compound, and she thought that Yi Zhonghai must have money.

"Hmm?" Hearing Xiaodang's words, Qin Huairu immediately understood her daughter's plan, because she had carefully calculated it in the afternoon, "Xiaodang, what do you mean?"

"Mom, you know, Yi Zhonghai can't cook or clean the house. He must be in need of someone to take care of him right now. Think about our family's life and what will happen when my brother comes back. He is over 20 years old. Will he sleep with us when he comes back? Or will he sleep with Mrs. Jia?" Xiao Dang said.

Qin Huairu agreed with Xiaodang's words because she thought the same. So she said, "Actually, Mom thought the same, but I was afraid he wouldn't agree. After all, our two families haven't been in contact for a long time."

"Oh, Mom, the past is the past, and the present is the present. In the past, Mrs. Li was there, and he had someone to rely on. At least she could cook and wash clothes for him. But what about now? Mrs. Li is gone! Besides, the people in the yard don't like him, so he has to find someone to wash clothes and cook for him! I can't think of any other family except ours, unless he leaves this yard." Xiao Dang analyzed.

Qin Huairu was very happy to hear Xiao Dang's analysis. She felt that her daughter had grown up, so she smiled and said, "Haha, my Xiao Dang has really grown up and sees things so clearly. But what if he still disagrees?"

"Mom, shouldn't we give it a try before we decide whether you agree or not?" Xiao Dang said, "Since I was a child, I have heard Aunt Jia say that she wants to find someone to take care of her. Today, I saw Aunt Li die and I understand. Look, Aunt Li died without anyone to help her. I guess she will be taken away and burned and buried tomorrow. Haha, Yi Zhonghai must be feeling very uncomfortable right now! He must really want a descendant. If that doesn't work, you can tell him that Xiao Lian can take his surname and he will take care of her until she dies."

"This..." Qin Huairu hesitated.

"Mom, I want to have the surname Jia. I don't want to change it." Xiao Lian said weakly.

"Haha, sister! What's there to miss about Jia?" Xiao Dang said sneerfully, "What did Jia Dongxu do besides giving birth to us? Did I eat a bite of his flesh when I was a child? If you don't change, I will."

"Sister, I..." Xiao Lian hesitated.

"Haha, Xiao Lian, I asked you to change it because you are the youngest, and he was the one who gave you the name. It's easier this way, otherwise I would have to go." Xiao Dang said.

"Yes, Xiao Lian, sister is right. What's a good surname like Jia? It doesn't give us food or water. Besides, you can change it back once Yi Zhonghai dies! He doesn't look like he will live long. In this way, his house and money will be mine in the future." Qin Huairu said happily.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Xiao Lian could only agree and then stopped talking.

Seeing that Xiao Lian was silent, Xiao Dang continued, "Mom, I think this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. You can try to contact him tomorrow to see what the situation is and whether he has any intention of getting close to our family."

"Well, I know. I'll go there early tomorrow morning." Qin Huairu said.

Just like that, after the chat, it was almost time, and the mother and her two daughters snuggled together and fell into a deep sleep.

The scene goes back to Yi Zhonghai's home. After drinking half a bottle of wine, he did not get drunk like before. He now had too many things on his mind, and his head was a mess.

All the past plans and calculations appeared in his mind one by one like a movie.

The movie begins with him planning for his retirement when he learns that he is a childless person. Next he takes Jia Dongxu in as his apprentice, then feels that it is not safe and begins to actively plan for a backup candidate. He chooses He Yuzhu, then Jia Dongxu dies, and then He Yuzhu gets out of his control and becomes his enemy. These scenes are now intensely irritating his nerves.

After the movie, Yi Zhonghai yelled in his heart, "Hey, why is God doing this to me? Don't I just want to have a happy old age? Not having children is fine, but even the people who take care of the elderly have accidents one after another. God, I hate you, I hate you, I don't believe it, I really can't find someone to take care of me in my old age? I don't accept it, I don't accept it."

In this way, Yi Zhonghai began to torture himself, and he didn't fall asleep until dawn.
