Chapter 582 4 Courtyard Sha Zhu and his cousin (47)
"No, old woman, what nonsense are you talking about? We are both old, why should we get divorced?
You said that I haven't given you money over the years. Isn't it because you are worried that you are too lax and can't save any money?
Since you want it, that's fine. I'll give you ten dollars from my salary every month as pocket money. How about that?
As for whether or not to divorce, let's not talk about it anymore, okay?"
"Yi Zhonghai, you only get that much salary a month.
He spent more than ten dollars on his Jia family, but he only gave me, his legally married wife, ten dollars and acted as if it was a matter of course.
Who are you trying to disgust?"
Yi Zhonghai was blocked again, and finally said only one sentence.
"Then what do you want to do?
Divorce is impossible. I'm too old to afford to lose face!
Besides...except for the divorce, I can accept everything else. I promise you everything."
Aunt Yi looked at this extremely hypocritical man and finally closed her eyes.
In fact, she also knew that she was so old and had nowhere to go if she really divorced. The reason she brought this up was just to negotiate terms with him.
He sighed in his heart before speaking.
“Yi Zhonghai!
I have taken the blame for you my entire life, and you will never be able to repay me for what you owe me.
Do you admit it or not?!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the resolute expression of the aunt and could only nod silently.
"I did let you down in that incident, but over the years, I've done my best to be honest with you."
"Yes, your clear conscience means that when someone calls me a hen that doesn't lay eggs, you defend me.
But when we got home you never revealed a word, and it was all your fault!"
Yi Zhonghai remained silent, letting Aunt Yi recount the grievances she had suffered over the years.
He knew in his heart that it was impossible for Auntie to divorce him.
Over the years, her parents have passed away and her brothers have lost contact with her.
She herself has no job, so where can she go after the divorce?
Therefore, Yi Zhonghai remained silent, waiting for the aunt to state her conditions, and then he would consider whether it would be beneficial to him.
Sure enough, at the end, the aunt said to Yi Zhonghai.
"Yi Zhonghai, I don't need a divorce, but you must go with me to the orphanage tomorrow to adopt a child!"
Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but frown.
"This...this is not necessary, right?
You want to take care of children? Look, you've taken good care of Peng Geng and Xiao Dang, and they're very close to you. They'll definitely be able to provide for you in your old age."
"Yi Zhonghai, I'm informing you now, not discussing with you!
If you agree to all the good things, then we can break up! If you don’t agree, then we can break up!
I am still young and there is no need for me to be a nanny for others.
"She, Jia Zhang, sits at home eating melon seeds and chatting with people every day, and then leaves all the children to me. What right does she have? What right do you have?!"
Yi Zhonghai saw that the old lady was on the verge of collapse, and didn't want to provoke her, so he nodded silently.
"Apart from this condition, are there any other conditions?"
"You must agree to this first. If you don't agree to the other conditions, there will be no future for us, nothing else.
No matter how close the Jia family is, they all have the surname Jia. If you are willing, I will raise a child with the surname Yi, and my grandchildren will also have the surname Yi.
If you don't want to, then I'll divorce and raise a child with my own surname, and then my grandson will also have my surname, not Jia or Qin!"
This sentence completely moved Yi Zhonghai. Having a child with his own surname was his lifelong pursuit.
He gritted his teeth and nodded to Auntie without caring what Jia Zhang would do.
"Okay, I'll ask for leave tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the orphanage to choose a child in the afternoon."
When the aunt saw that he agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"Also, I want you to save half of your salary for future emergencies for the children, and you pay for the rest of their living expenses."
"Isn't this... a bit too much?"
"Humph! Compared to the money you spent on the Jia family, I don't think this is much!
Since I'm raising a child, I have to be responsible for him. This will be his future betrothal gift or dowry, and no one will compromise with me!"
In the end, Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes and nodded with pain.
He had no choice but to nod. Seeing Aunt Yi's resolute look, he finally didn't dare to touch her bottom line.
I was worried that the old lady would not care about me and expose my affairs to others and then we would break up.
The next day, something big happened in the courtyard!
At noon, Yi Zhonghai came back on his bicycle and took Aunt Yi out.
In the afternoon, there were two people who went out, but three came back!
An old lady was holding a two-year-old child in her arms. Although the child was thin, it was not difficult to tell from his facial features that he was very handsome.
Aunt Yi held the child in her arms with a smile on her face, no longer showing the gloom from before.
As for Yi Zhonghai, although this child was not the one he expected, the moment he held the child in his hands.
The child's warm and soft body, coupled with the child's innocent eyes.
It instantly struck his heart, making his heart soften a little.
When an aunt adopts a child, the most nervous people are naturally the Jia family.
Over the years, Yi Zhonghai's milk coupons, sugar coupons and other items were all used to subsidize the Jia family.
But now that he has his own child, will he still care about her grandson?
Qin Huairu had the same idea, and even more in her mind.
Why has this aunt been so well-behaved for so many years and always treated her children as her own?
Why did you suddenly decide to adopt a child?
Then when I get tired and want to change the handle in the future, will Aunt Yi still be willing to help take care of Xiaodang?
Jia Dongxu also had the same concern. Would his master's biological son still be so open and honest with him in the future?
Will you still teach seriously when you teach?
The other people in the courtyard could not empathize with the Jia family's thoughts.
After all, in the past, Auntie’s kindness was only directed towards the Jia family, and she didn’t have that much kindness towards them.
Aunt Yi held the child in her arms as if she were holding the whole world, and for the first time she spoke loudly to the people in the yard.
"Everyone, listen to me. Lao Yi and I have been unable to have a child for many years. I have tried many folk remedies and simple prescriptions to have a child, but I just can't get what I want.
The person I feel most guilty about these years is my old Yi."
Yi Zhonghai said honestly, "Don't talk nonsense. We are husband and wife, and I have never blamed you."
