After saying that, he pushed the nanny aside and went upstairs despite the obstruction, reaching the old lady's door.
As a result, a man and a woman were seen sitting by Grandma Yi's bedside, seemingly treating her.
"What are you doing here?" Old Mrs. Yi's face darkened with displeasure. "Don't you know how to announce your arrival? As expected of a concubine's daughter, you have no manners at all."
Ever since she learned that she had been secretly poisoned, Old Mrs. Yi knew that these brothers had no bottom line, so she no longer cared about saving face and reprimanded them mercilessly.
Upon hearing this, the two brothers turned green with embarrassment.
"Mother!" Yi Haiqiang suppressed his anger and put on a hypocritical mask. "We've encountered an emergency this time, and we can't worry about formalities anymore. You know, the Yi family..."
"With such a disgraceful act, the news is all over the place, how could I not know?" Old Mrs. Yi interrupted unhappily, "Whoever did it should take responsibility. What's the use of coming to me now? I really don't know how you good-for-nothings were born."
Yi Hai was repeatedly criticized, which made him feel choked up and almost caused him to die of anger.
As it turned out, someone wisely burst out laughing from the sidelines.
Yi Hai instinctively shot her a sharp look, only to see the woman opposite him say innocently, "Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought of a saying, as the saying goes, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and rats beget rats sons who can dig holes. Grandma, do you think what I said is right?"
The person in front of me is indeed Yi Tianran, who has disguised herself to visit the old lady.
Meeting her granddaughter's smiling eyes, Grandma Yi nodded with satisfaction. "You're right! Some people are like dead rats in the sewers, only fit to live in the dark underground. They are unworthy of their positions and will die a miserable death."
Yi Hai could easily hear the sarcasm in their back-and-forth banter, and he was so angry that his face turned a deep purplish-red, and he almost died on the spot.
He's lived this long, and he's never suffered such humiliation before. It's simply outrageous.
Before he could explode, Yi Lao Si quickly spoke up, awkwardly saying, "Mom, we really have something important to discuss with you. Could you please ask the outsiders to leave first?"
"Outsiders?" Old Mrs. Yi coldly pulled a long face. "Didn't I kick you out a long time ago? It's a pity that some people just don't know their place."
Yi Lao Si's face also turned ugly. "Mom, the outsiders I'm referring to are them—"
He pointed at Yi Tianran and Zhuang Yizhan beside her.
"Insolence!" Old Mrs. Yi's face darkened, and she instantly adopted a stern demeanor. "These two are the doctors who saved my life. When I was weak and on the verge of death, my so-called sons all acted as if they were dead, not even glancing at me. Only these two stayed by my side. Thinking about it, I really raised a bunch of ingrates. It chills my heart to the bone."
Upon hearing this, Yi Laosi immediately felt a little guilty.
Yi Hai couldn't help but feel wary. Who were these two people, the man and the woman, that they could have the old lady so easily fooled?
If they tricked her into signing the inheritance transfer when she was in a daze, wouldn't all their hard work over the years have been for nothing?
Thinking of this, he had already decided to get rid of Yi Tianran and the others.
Old Yi was still trying to explain, "Mom, you've misunderstood. We've just been too busy to come. We've already called quite a few doctors for you before..."
"I was busy before, but I'm available now that you need my help." Old Mrs. Yi shook her head sarcastically and said coldly, "Alright, what exactly are you here for? If you don't tell me, I'm going to rest!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Hai disregarded the presence of outsiders and hurriedly said, "Mother, now that you know about the current crisis of the Yi family, you should understand that what we lack most is funds. If you invest 5 billion, you can turn the situation around and save the Yi family!"
In fact, 3 billion would have been enough to save the situation, but he deliberately exaggerated it, just greedily trying to squeeze out a large sum of money.
"Hahaha, 5 billion? You're really dreaming!" Old Mrs. Yi's skin was old and weathered, but her eyes were still sharp. "With such a sum of money, I would rather donate it to charity than waste it on a bunch of spendthrifts like you."
Yi Hai's face turned pale. "This is the Yi family's money, meant to save the Yi family from crisis. How could you say such a thing?"
"The Yi family?" Having lived to this age, with her granddaughter back by her side, Old Mrs. Yi had actually come to terms with things. She no longer needed to be bound by the past, and instead said frankly, "I don't have the surname Yi, so why should I take responsibility for your mistakes?"
"You married into the Yi family and took your father's property, how can you not take responsibility?" Yi Hai said, his face contorted in pain.
Before the old lady could speak, Yi Tianran clapped her hands and said jokingly, "What a moral blackmail! Four sons, none of them are capable of solving the problem, so they come to sponge off their parents and threaten the old lady. Are some people's faces made of mud? They even smell bad!"
"You brat! When did it become your place to meddle here?!" Yi Hai stormed in, furious. If he couldn't kill the old man, he'd take it out on the little one.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand and slapped her across the face.
Yi Tianran had anticipated this. She grabbed his arm, spun him around, and twisted him behind his back. Yi Hai winced in pain, feeling a sharp, piercing pain that left him covered in cold sweat.
Do you think I'm the kind of weak, helpless girl who can be bullied and insulted by you?
Back then, she was only 6 years old, with thin arms and legs. She ate very little and was as thin as a monkey. She could only desperately protect her head when Yi Hai hit her.
Even though her arms were bruised and purple from the whip, her lips were white from the pain, and her back was soaked with cold sweat, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. Not shedding a single tear was her last shred of dignity.
Now the situation has reversed. Her eyes narrowed, and she kicked Yi Hai in the knee, making him slide to his knees in front of Old Madam Yi's bed.
"Do you know how to be a filial son? It's about kneeling in front of your mother's bedside and taking good care of her when she's seriously ill. Do you need someone to teach you how to be a person?" A sarcastic voice rang in my ears.
Yi Hai was both angry and in pain; his scalp felt like it was about to explode.
That damned bitch, how dare she treat me like this? She's got a death wish.
But now his shoulders were pinned down, and he couldn't move.
He could only call for help from outside the door, "Fourth brother, what are you standing there for? Just watching this woman run wild?"
Yi Laosi's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "If you, a grown man, can't subdue him, how can I?"
But he still forced his way in, only to be pinned to the ground by Zhuang Yizhan, who then mocked him, saying, "Hitting a woman isn't gentlemanly behavior, uncle."
Yi Laosi almost died on the spot.
This is the worst luck imaginable; I knew he shouldn't have come.
I knew the old woman wouldn't budge.
To be humiliated for nothing!
