Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai could only go inside with Sha Zhu.

As soon as the two went inside, Little Donnie whispered in Fatty's ear, "Uncle Fatty, what kind of bad ideas do you think he's up to this time?"

If it were anyone else, like the beasts in the yard, they wouldn't just disagree; they'd probably criticize Xiao Dang even more: "How can you talk to your elders like that?"

Elders? Elders my foot! Yi Zhonghai doesn't deserve that title!

The fat man whispered to Xiao Dang, "He's definitely not up to anything good, but it's okay, your Uncle Fatty has sharp ears."

Xiao Dang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this; she knew that Uncle Pang's hearing was excellent!

If Uncle Fatty hadn't heard the commotion and chased her to the cellar back then, she would be dead...

Inside the room, Yi Zhonghai immediately started pouring wine for Sha Zhu.

He knows Sha Zhu too well! You could say he's had him wrapped around his little finger since he was a child.

Yi Zhonghai knew all about his habits and bad habits.

Take drinking as an example. Yi Zhonghai is a heavy drinker, Liu Haizhong is a fast drinker, Yan Bugui drinks fake alcohol, so what about Sha Zhu?

He can't hold his liquor at all!

Surprisingly, isn't it? Sha Zhu's alcohol tolerance is practically the same as Xu Damao's. He just cheats when drinking; while others drink a glass, he only takes a sip, acting like a spiritual guide. That's why not many people are willing to drink with Sha Zhu.

Sure enough, after a few glasses of baijiu, Sha Zhu started to slur his words.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that the time was right, he revealed his purpose: "Zhu Zi wants to discuss something with you."

Sha Zhu is like a stubborn mule. When he's in a good mood, he'll agree to anything; when he's not, he's as obstinate as a mule.

Before he even heard it, he readily agreed: "What's there to discuss? Why are we being so polite, father and son? Just tell me what you need!"

Yi Zhonghai slapped his thigh excitedly: "That's right, those two rooms that the deaf old lady left you have been empty for 5 or 6 years, right? These houses need to be lived in. If no one lives there for a long time, my good brother should move in."

Ordinary people understand this. That's why you can't just go into a house that's been unoccupied for a long time.

Sha Zhu blinked: "What's up?"

"It's Huai Ru. She wants to rent the big room... What are you doing? Don't rush, let me finish. She's not doing this for anyone else, it's for Bang Geng! Bang Geng is someone you've watched grow up since he was little."

The fat man outside heard everything clearly. He beckoned to Xiaodang and gestured for her to come closer. He whispered, "It's your own mother. She's got her eye on those two rooms that the deaf old lady left for your mentally challenged father again. She sent Yi Zhonghai to swindle them."

The moment Xiao Dang heard the words "biological mother," she felt nauseous; she jumped up, rushed into the inner room, snatched Yi Zhonghai's wine glass, and smashed it!

Yi Zhonghai was inwardly cursing. Was there no law anymore? Even a little girl dared to act so arrogantly towards him!

Sha Zhu couldn't figure out whose personality Xiao Dang took after? It's from him, and also from Jia Zhangshi.

When no one offends her, she's a kind and understanding person; but if someone crosses her, it's a one-way street!

Pointing his finger at Yi Zhonghai, he cursed, "You're like a weasel paying respects to a chicken! What are you up to? You have two rooms in your house, why don't you give one to Bang Gun to live in? You don't have any children anyway, do you?"

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand being called childless; it was his Achilles' heel! He was so angry that he stood up and was about to slap Xiao Dang across the face.

But Sha Zhu was right there. He may not be a good drinker, but he's cunning. Yi Zhonghai knows him, but doesn't he know Yi Zhonghai too?

From the fact that he was so easy to talk to when he arrived today, I can tell that something is definitely going on here!

Sure enough, it turned out that he and Qin Huairu were plotting to take the two rooms that the deaf old lady had left him!

Yi Zhonghai had just raised his arm when Sha Zhu pressed it down: "What do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai was about to shout "Zhu Zi!" in his deep baritone voice, followed by a tirade of righteous indignation, to stand on his high ground and berate the foolish Zhu Zi, then force him to submit obediently—wasn't that how it always was done in the past...?

Then they heard Sha Zhu shout, "Fatty, Fatty!"

The fat man slowly stood up: "Spit it out if you have something to say!"

Sha Zhu laughed and scolded, "Your brother-in-law doesn't want to swap houses with me? I agree. Have him come over tomorrow, bring the property certificate and household registration book, and I'll take him to complete the formalities!"

Brother-in-law? Changing houses? This string of information was too much for Yi Zhonghai's brain to process, and he seemed to freeze up: "You you you you..."

"What do you mean? You want Bang Geng to take care of you in your old age, right? Just give him your house, and that'll be fine. It would be best if you divorced that old lady and married Qin Huairu, and made him call you Dad! Then, it's only natural for a son to take care of his father in his old age and see him off in his final days."

The fat man's words almost made Yi Zhonghai spit out a mouthful of blood. As the saying goes, one should see through things but not say them, but this fat man just kept poking holes in people's lungs.

In his past life, as a veteran "online game" player, Fatty's greatest skill was finding openings and exploiting weaknesses. His favorite weapon was a dagger, which he used to stab people in the hook.

In his eyes, a hypocrite like Yi Zhonghai, who spouts empty words of benevolence and morality, is full of flaws and every move he makes is a critical hit.

Even after Sha Zhu coaxed him out of the house, Yi Zhonghai's mind was still buzzing.

Why did Fatty take a liking to those two rooms that the deaf old lady left for Sha Zhu?

The next day, Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai watched as Ben Leihu, along with Chen Yan and Sha Zhu, first went to the backyard to look at the house, and then went to the relevant department to complete the formalities.

In the afternoon, Chen Yan called over her group of men, and they started cleaning the house with bags and packages.

Qin Huairu almost cried out in pain; that was supposed to be her room!

Why has she ignored Xiao Dang for so many years? It's because in her eyes, Xiao Dang is reserving the house for her in advance, and He Yushui's house will eventually be hers!

Now look what's happened! Right under her nose, the two rooms left behind by the deaf old lady have been taken over by the fat man!

※※※※※※

In 1979, Chen Yan gave birth to a daughter, whose name was also given by the fat man: Shi Tiantian.

From Du Mu's poem: White egrets part the smoke and light, the gentle ripples in the wind settle the emerald green.

Benleihu had actually discussed it with Chen Yan: if they had a son, he would take his surname; if they had a daughter, she would take Chen Yan's surname.

Later, the fat man disagreed, and the matter was dropped.

Despite not agreeing, the fat man still complained: "Why did you have to have the surname Shi? This name is really hard to come up with!"

Benleihu was also furious: "Brother-in-law, you did this on purpose!"

How did I do it on purpose?

"You're sincere!"

Ha, you're getting more and more outrageous; the fat man cornered Thunder Tiger against the wall, cracking his knuckles: "I'll give you a chance to say it again, how could I do it on purpose, or even sincerely?"
