A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 168 Yi Li Returns

He Yukai returned home, took out the transcribed notes and read them in detail. This was the real good stuff.

There are detailed records of what characteristics each item has, even what characteristics of counterfeits, etc.

I have read it several times, and gained something different each time.

Thinking of this, He Yukai took out paper and pen and prepared to write it down. These were the results of a lot of verification.

This is a great treasure, and when the time is right, it will be printed out and passed down as a family heirloom for the younger generations to learn from.

He Yukai has a large collection of items and is planning to open a private museum, which requires someone to manage it.

Without some skills, you really can't run the business. Don't be fooled. Now that you have this, as long as your descendants study and understand it well, it won't be too far behind.

This is really the essence. Otherwise, why do people say that if they want to enter a profession, they need the guidance of predecessors? It can be seen from here.

Without the guidance and instruction from an experienced collector like Uncle Guan, it would be very difficult to get started.

The books bought from bookstores only have a brief introduction but no detailed identification knowledge.

In the notes, there are detailed identification methods for the counterfeiting methods used by the masters of aging in Beijing, which has benefited me a lot.

He Yukai studied very seriously. The experience he gained during this period made him more humble. He no longer felt that he already knew everything. Only by calming down could he learn and comprehend.

As time went by, it finally came to 1966.

The He family's children are supervised by old man Li in practicing boxing and are not allowed to go out.

Banggeng is like a street tumor, never to be seen every day, always in a hurry.

Qin Huairu was in high spirits, so Banggeng's salary naturally increased a lot, and people from outside were also willing to take him out to play.

No one was working that day and was taking a rest.

In comparison, there has been no obvious changes in the compound and it still maintains its previous appearance.

He Yukai and He Yuzhu were lying on recliners in front of their house and chatting, while Cai Wenqing, Lou Xiaoe and others were reading in the house. They were a very harmonious family.

It would be quite pleasant if it weren't for that disgusting face opposite me.

Jia Zhang didn't know why, but she was always weird, as if others owed her family something.

Everyone I see has a dead face, which is unlucky.

At this time, Yi Li entered the compound and instantly caused a sensation.

It has been a long time since Yi Li disappeared, and now she appears holding a child.

Yi Li kept looking at the child in her arms with a motherly smile, as if the child was the only one in her eyes.

He Yukai guessed that the child might be adopted by Yi Li. The previous quarrel in Yi Zhonghai's family was probably related to whether the child was adopted. It was obvious that the two of them parted ways unhappily in the end.

Now that Yi Li has brought a child back, He Yukai wants to see how Yi Zhonghai will deal with this matter.

"His mother, you're back? Is the baby you're holding a boy or a girl?"

Yan Bugui certainly wouldn't be so tactless as to ask where the child had been, but when he saw the child, he couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle, it's a boy. I didn't expect to have a son when I'm so old. God has been very kind to me."

Yi Li's smile was full of joy. She looked at Yan Bugui with a smile. The melancholy look in her eyes from before was gone.

It was obvious that this child gave her hope and something to live for.

"Okay, okay, Lao Yi should be happy."

Yan Bugui laughed, the tentative meaning was self-evident. The old man Yan Bugui also wanted to know the reason why the quarreling sounds were heard at that time.

"Him? Forget it."

Yi Li sneered disdainfully. She no longer considered Yi Zhonghai her husband. It was not like this before. She would defend Yi Zhonghai even if he was wrong.

Not to mention that Yi Li now looks like a normal person, the unique glow on her face can't be concealed.

Yi Li greeted everyone, then walked towards the backyard under everyone's surprised eyes, without even stopping at the door of her own house.

Yi Zhonghai doesn’t know yet that Yi Li has returned. If he knew, there might be some shocking news.

Although Yi Zhonghai heard the noise in the yard, he didn't care. At present, Yi Zhonghai turned a deaf ear to the outside world and lived a lonely life.

That’s right, it was loneliness. He didn’t feel it when Yi Li was around, but after she left, he realized that without Yi Li, this home was not even a home.

During this period, the whole place has been deserted, with no sense of homeliness at all.

Yi Zhonghai did not regret it. It was not excessive for him to want a biological child. Since you couldn't give birth to one for me, would it be excessive for me to find someone to give birth to one for me?

That's right, Yi Li discovered the abnormal relationship between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu. When she questioned Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai repelled her by saying that Yi Li was infertile and it was not excessive for him to have a child. This led to the quarrel.

When Yi Li asked why he had to go to the compound and look for Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai did not explain much.

The two of them started arguing, and Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed. In all these years, Yi Li had never spoken to him in that tone.

Finally, Yi Li put forward a condition: if it succeeded, that would be great; if not, they could not survive. Yi Li's meaning was very simple: to sever ties with the Jia family, adopt a child and live a good life.

Yi Zhonghai still wanted to find an excuse to get away with it and didn't want to agree directly. Yi Li, who had been silent for many years, finally exploded. They hadn't quarreled for many years, but now they had a big fight and Yi Zhonghai, who had always been the boss at home, certainly couldn't accept it.

He thought that Yi Li's attitude made him lose face in the compound, and he believed that his suffering over the years was due to Yi Li not giving him a child.

Yi Li has been feeling guilty all these years because she could not let her man hold his head up high. However, facing Yi Zhonghai's accusations, she finally felt heartbroken and desperate.

What Yi Li didn't say was that she had checked many times this year and was clear that she was fertile, but she had been taking the blame for Yi Zhonghai's face.

But Yi Zhonghai never understood her, kept blaming her and was hateful.

It was as if the two of them were destined not to have children, it was impossible.

All the blame for the inability to give birth outside was placed on Yi Li, and many people called her a chicken that lays no eggs.

Yi Li accepted all these, but you can't treat me like this, right? If she fooled around with Qin Huairu, what if the people in the compound knew about it, how could she live like a normal person?

In a fit of anger, Yi Li said goodbye to the old lady and left. She had a nephew in Jinshi, so she went there to adopt a child and then came back.

Since you don't want to, I will adopt the child and support him myself. Yi Li had no source of income and had already figured out how to negotiate with Yi Zhonghai.

She lives with the old lady, and Yi Zhonghai must provide living expenses, otherwise he will break up with her.

The reason is that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu are having an affair, and the old lady will testify at that time. I don’t believe that Yi Zhonghai will not agree.

People have feelings. Yi Li has been taking care of the deaf old lady for several years, and the deaf old lady has long regarded Yi Li as her own daughter.

Now that Yi Zhonghai doesn't listen to advice and that vixen is involved, things won't be so easy to resolve.

The deaf old lady has been in this compound for so many years. Apart from the He family, who else has made her feel frustrated?

She has made up her mind. If Yi Zhonghai had listened to her advice and stayed away from the Jia family earlier, would it have come to this?
He Yukai frowned when he saw Yi Li came back with the child and went directly to the backyard without entering the house. Could it be that the old couple had a quarrel over the disagreement about adopting a child?
Yi Zhonghai is about to become a time bomb. If the two divorce and Qin Huairu gets an IUD again, God knows to what extent this old silver coin will evolve.

Now everything is out of control and the plot of the Siheyuan has become unrecognizable.

My own foresight has basically disappeared. Except for the grasp of the general trend, I have basically lost the foresight of small trends.

A special era is about to come, and we must plan our future affairs now.

At the steel mill, He Yukai was not worried at all.

Li Huaide didn't have the courage to do that to him. Besides, once the patrol team was established, the role of the Security Department would be weakened and would no longer pose any threat to Li Huaide.

Xu Damao still has to find a way to make him the deputy director so that he can know Li Huaide's movements in time.

Liu Haizhong is a man who follows whoever feeds him. Although I have planned to make him the workshop director and completely isolate him from the committee, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, so I still cannot relax.

Xu Damao was asked to keep an eye on the backyard, while Qin Huairu asked Liang Lati and Liu Lan to keep an eye on it. Liang Lati was good at networking and had a good relationship with people in the factory.

If Qin Huairu gets close to Li Huaide, who knows if it will cause trouble. The plot has changed and anything can happen.

Liu Lan is a loud speaker and can get a lot of gossip in a timely manner. After all, Cai Wenqing is in the government office, and many things are inconvenient for him. Liu Lan can make up for this.

He Yukai will never allow anyone to cause trouble in the courtyard. If Li Huaide in the factory still doesn't trust him, He Yukai will take sick leave. He has no leverage over him, so just taking a long vacation will not be a threat, right?
"Da Mao, I asked you to come here today because of the committee that is about to be established. This committee will be the power body in the factory in the future. I don't plan to get involved, and you know I don't want to get involved.

I called you here today to ask you, I can nominate a deputy director, what do you think? "Xu Damao has enough intelligence, mainly enough sharpness, as long as he does not get carried away, it should not be difficult for him to keep steady.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Xu Damao was surprised and confused. Did happiness come so suddenly?
"This committee has Deputy Director Li as the director and eight deputy directors. I would like to recommend you to join it."

He Yukai stared at Xu Damao closely. Now was a critical period. Choosing Xu Damao was also a risky act, but the risk had to be taken. If power made Xu Damao lose himself, then he would have to admit that he was unlucky.

Lou Xiao'e's affairs have been arranged, so at worst we can just use our trump card.

"Thank you for your cultivation, brother"

Xu Damao was extremely excited. Is the era of Xu Damao finally coming?
Without mentioning what He Yukai from the He family told Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai finally learned the news of Yi Li's return. He sneered in his heart, isn't she back after all?
Then she learned that Yi Li came back with a child, and her smile froze.

After waiting for a long time, it was dark and Yi Li had not returned home yet.

After going out to inquire, he found out that she had gone to the old lady's house. Yi Zhonghai was furious. He hadn't eaten yet and had been eating out for the past few days. He couldn't afford the money.

The most important thing now is money. What will you do if you don’t have money?

Why go to the backyard when you don't know how to cook? Yi Li decided to set a rule.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai did not join forces with the Jia family was because of Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. Yi Zhonghai was very clear about their plans.

Seeing that Yi Li had left, the two of them took the initiative to ask to be partners. Didn't they just want to eat up the whole family? How was that possible?

If you, Qin Huairu, don't give birth to a child for me, won't my investment be wasted? It's not that easy to take advantage of Yi Zhonghai.

"Madam, are you there?"

Yi Zhonghai finally went to the old lady to see what was going on. Even if he was angry, he said, "We have been married for so many years. If you don't come home, where is my face?"
"Zhonghai, come in"

After Yi Zhonghai entered, he saw Yi Lishi sitting on the kang and teasing a child without even raising her head. The old lady was like a monk in meditation and had no intention of speaking.

"My dear, now that you are back, why don't you go home?"

Yi Zhonghai tried his best to control his temper and asked Yi Li gently. He was fed up with the cold and indifferent life and was burning with anger inside, but he didn't want to vent it in front of the deaf old lady.

"I won't go back. It's a good thing you're here. I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Li's emotionless eyes looked at Yi Zhonghai, full of determination.

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. This was going to be a big deal. The couple had been together for decades, yet they still didn't know each other's temper.

"You said, things can be discussed"

Yi Zhonghai finally felt guilty. What he had done was not right. Now it was not a question of whether to have the child or not, but whether he could keep the family was a big problem.

"Let's get divorced. After the divorce, you live your life and I live mine. We have nothing to do with each other."

Yi Li looked at Yi Zhonghai indifferently. There was no guilt or melancholy in her eyes, only calmness.

"No way, are you kidding me? We've been married for decades, and now you want to divorce me?"

Yi Zhonghai was completely shocked. He was sure that Yi Li could not do without him because Yi Li had no income, but his approach was wrong.

Yes, Yi Zhonghai’s greatest confidence is that he still has a job, but Yi Li does not.

Qin Huairu was not panicked at all after her affair with him was discovered. You have no income and you will come back sooner or later if you can't make it out there.

"If you don't agree, then I won't keep your relationship with Qin Huairu a secret. Since you don't want this family anymore, I have no scruples."

Yi Li was obviously determined to divorce, and Yi Zhonghai could not afford to take the risk.

"Who would believe something without evidence?"

Until now, Yi Zhonghai is still quibbling, believing that Yi Li has no evidence.

"Zhong Hai, what if I testify? Do you think they will believe me? Will the subdistrict office and your steel mill believe me?"

The deaf old lady's words made Yi Zhonghai completely lose his confidence. Not to mention the people behind the deaf old lady, even the street office would believe what the deaf old lady said.

My prestige over the years has been greatly weakened. I was demoted before and now I am still a level five fitter and have not recovered.

The compound favors the Jia family, and after being exposed many times by He Yukai, it has lost its former dignity.

If the deaf old lady stood up at this juncture, no one would believe her.

"Old lady, you?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that he would look at the deaf old lady with strange eyes.

I didn't expect that the person who gave me the most confidence and support would actually stab me in the back.

“Zhong Hai, for so many years, it was Li who took care of me. The food was all mine, and the food books and so on were all in your house.

The subdistrict office gives me a five-yuan subsidy every month. It's all because of Li that I'm taken care of. You deserve the credit. Am I right?"

The deaf old lady looked at the dazed Yi Zhonghai and spoke slowly and casually.

“I originally thought you were a smart person, and I had been advising you, from the beginning to treat Sha Zhu sincerely, and later to not become an enemy of the He family.

I specifically reminded you not to get too close to the Jia family, but which part of it did you take to heart?

Now you have done such a dirty thing. You can't have children. Don't you have any responsibility? Li has been taking the blame for so many years. Have you ever felt guilty? Let's get a divorce. This will be better for everyone."

"Old lady, you treat me like this, don't forget your identity"

Yi Zhonghai stopped pretending completely. His face was ferocious and he threatened the deaf old lady, completely tearing off all his disguise.

"Hey, I'm already up to my neck in the dirt. I don't mind falling out with you, but I don't know if you have the courage."

The deaf old lady now seems to have returned to the past and realizes that all these years have not been lived in vain.

Besides, don't you know how serious the matter between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu is? Are you threatening me here? You are not worthy.

Yi Zhonghai knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion and there was nothing he could do. He really could not afford the gamble, nor did he dare to gamble.

"Okay, I agree to a divorce."

We have to cut the Gordian knot now. There is no room for easing the situation. We have to agree to it for now and calm the two of them down first.

"Okay, I'll ask Cai Wenqing to come over tomorrow to discuss this, and then I'll go get the divorce certificate."

Yi Li knew that the best way to deal with this matter was to ask Cai Wenqing to come, so that she would not suffer any loss. She would never allow Qin Huairu to take advantage.

His own house was not small, and there was a grocery room next to it. He felt unwilling to leave such a large house to the Jia family.

If you, Qin Huai, behave yourself and destroy my family, I will leave you with nothing.

"What do you want her to do with our business?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyebrows jumped. The last thing Yi Zhonghai wanted was for the He family to get involved in this matter. If the He family knew about him and Qin Huairu, he didn't dare to imagine what would greet him.

"Cai Wenqing is the director of the Women's Federation of your factory. I am still considered a family member of a factory employee. This is within her scope of authority."

Yi Li looked at Yi Zhonghai firmly. She didn't understand the policy. Cai Wenqing had worked in the street office and was also the director of the Women's Federation in the factory. She would not let her suffer any loss.

Although Yi Li didn't know any big principles, she had spent so many years in the city and had seen and heard a lot.

Since they are getting divorced, she must fight for her own interests. If she were alone, it would be fine, but now for the sake of the child, she will not give in.

"Call me then"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yi Li indifferently. It seemed impossible to prevent the He family from participating. They would talk about it when the time comes and deal with it as it happens.

He could only pray that Yi Li would not mention his relationship with Qin Huairu, otherwise he could not guarantee whether Cai Wenqing would escalate the matter.

He knew that the He family didn't like him, but there was nothing he could do now. If he refused, and Li was to reveal this shocking news, he would rather die.

He also didn't expect that not only did he not get the child, but his family was also broken apart. In the end, he got what he deserved.
