The actions of Yi Zhonghai back then were far more ruthless than Xu Dameng's today!
Facing a desperate situation, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but think of Lin Xueling.
If Lin Xueling were still around, would his current predicament be so embarrassing?
"Xu Dameng, don't push it too far!"
Yi Zhonghai said indignantly, "One yuan a day is more than enough for you, you..."
Before Yi Zhonghai could finish his sentence, Xu Dameng turned and left without looking back.
"Alas!"
Yi Zhonghai sighed, helpless.
"No, I must find a way to get Lin Xueling back as soon as possible!"
"Otherwise, I'll just lie in bed and wait to die!"
Lying at home and waiting to die alone was not Yi Zhonghai's style.
Moreover, dying like this at home would mean his body would rot and stink before anyone discovered him.
It was probably a death without any dignity.
"Help! Someone, help!"
Yi Zhonghai began to roar loudly, "Wang Hongshuan, come here for a moment, I need you for something!"
...
After a round of mournful cries and shouts from Yi Zhonghai, Wang Hongshuan, who lived in the back courtyard, was finally called over.
"Yi Zhonghai, what do you need me for?"
Although Yi Zhonghai had ultimately shirked responsibility for Granny Long's death, his reputation in the courtyard had completely collapsed because of it.
Even though Wang Hongshuan came over, he didn't offer Yi Zhonghai a pleasant look.
Yi Zhonghai said with a distressed face, "Hongshuan, you know we've been neighbors for so many years!"
"My health is very poor now, can you help me?"
"No time!"
Wang Hongshuan replied coldly, "Yi Zhonghai, listen to my advice, just stop!"
"Heaven sees what people do, and doing too many bad things will eventually bring retribution!"
"Hongshuan, let me explain, I..."
"Hmph, just lie in bed and reflect properly, don't bother me!"
Yi Zhonghai wanted to say more, but Wang Hongshuan didn't give him any room for further nonsense!
Wang Hongshuan simply snorted coldly and left without looking back.
Instantly, a feeling of extreme despair washed over him.
"Alas, I was truly blind, how could I have gotten involved with that bitch Qin Huairu!"
Yi Zhonghai was so enraged that he wished he could slap himself hard on his own old face.
To think that he, an eighth-level fitter, who had been smart his whole life, could be so foolish for a moment!
His son was gone, his money was gone, his wife was gone, and he had ended up crippled!
He was living worse than Sha Zhu.
Even though Sha Zhu was in jail, at least he had three meals a day inside.
...
Liu Kai Xuan's home.
It was already dark, but Chen Yue showed no signs of leaving.
Jiang Aiying had to personally come to Liu Kai Xuan's home to check on the situation.
Chen Yue told Jiang Aiying, "Mom, it's very difficult for Feiyan to take care of two children by herself!"
"I'm idle at home anyway, so I'll stay and help her with the children!"
Jiang Aiying nodded and replied, "Chen Yue, it's good that you're willing to stay and help Feiyan!"
"But it's dark now, you should go back with me and come back tomorrow morning!"
"Oh, that won't do at all!"
Chen Yue shook her head and replied, "Night and early morning are when the little ones are most fussy!"
"I already discussed it with Feiyan this afternoon, and I'll be staying here for a while at night!"
"Ah, you're staying here?" Jiang Aiying's mouth widened in surprise.
Chen Yue quickly explained, "Mom, don't overthink it!"
"Feiyan's family has two rooms, and Xiao Yue and I will share one room at night!"
"Of course, that's not what I meant!"
Jiang Aiying replied with a wry smile, "What I meant was... never mind!"
"If you want to stay, then stay. I'll leave Feiyan to you!"
Jiang Aiying, having been through it all, could see what was going on.
Chen Yue came to help with the children, and now she didn't want to leave.
There were only two possible reasons: First, Liu Kai Xuan knew how to handle things and must have given Chen Yue benefits privately.
Second, Liu Kai Xuan's family lived a better quality of life!
Even the combined salaries of Zhao Tianhai and Jiang Aiying were less than half of Liu Kai Xuan's.
Staying here meant eating meat every day, while life at the Zhao family was hard.
Jiang Aiying herself habitually stayed for a short period during her rotation days.
Chen Yue sent Jiang Aiying away. Zhao Feiyan patted Liu Kai Xuan's shoulder and said.
"Husband, you're really something, you even kept my sister-in-law at our place!"
"Aren't you afraid my brother will come to settle the score with you!"
"Hehehe..."
Liu Kai Xuan was amused by her, "I'm not afraid of anyone else coming to settle the score, as long as my wife is happy every day!"
"You rascal..."
Zhao Feiyan glared at Liu Kai Xuan and said softly, "Did you put honey on your lips?"
"Anything that comes out of your mouth changes its flavor!"
Liu Kai Xuan asked curiously, "What flavor does it change into?"
Zhao Feiyan rolled her eyes at Liu Kai Xuan and replied, "Of course, it's sweet!"
"Hahaha..."
Liu Kai Xuan also laughed, "Then that's that, isn't life supposed to be lived with a sweet flavor!"
"Alright, alright, I can't win against you!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Feiyan suddenly changed the subject, "However, you're quite skilled at winning people over!"
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and sighed, "Please stop talking about it. If I were really good at winning people over, I wouldn't have had so many traitors under me!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Feiyan quickly reached out and pulled Liu Kai Xuan's arm to comfort him, "The Yan family and the Liu family are all ungrateful wretches!"
"Those ungrateful wretches are all in prison, so why are we still talking about them?"
"Mmm!" Liu Kai Xuan nodded in agreement, "Let the past be the past, no more talk about it!"
"Xiao Hu, come let Daddy hug you!"
As he spoke, Liu Kai Xuan shifted his gaze to Liu Xin Hu.
"Mommy, Mommy..." Liu Xin Hu cried out and ran off.
At the same time, Liu Xin Xue ran over with her arms outstretched, "Daddy, hug!"
"Haha, my Xue'er is the most obedient!"
Liu Xin Hu was a mischievous boy, he didn't like to be held and preferred to run around on his own.
Liu Xin Xue, on the other hand, liked to be held.
However, Zhao Feiyan didn't want to hold her now, her arms ached from holding her all day.
"By the way, husband, my sister-in-law just said that she'll help take care of Xue'er tonight, and only Xiao Hu will follow us!"
"Do you think that's okay?"
Liu Kai Xuan shook his head and smiled, "I think it's best not to, in case Xue'er cries at night, Xiao Yue won't be able to sleep either!"
