The marriage between Sha Zhu and Qin Jing Ru would not have been possible without Yi Zhong Hai's help.
For a long time, Qin Jing Ru had been involved with Xu Da Mao.
At one point, the two even lived together.
However, because Xu Da Mao was "uncooperative" and refused to exploit Qin Widow,
Qin Widow naturally sought to orchestrate a relationship between them.
Qin Huai Ru's frantic interference ultimately led to the complete breakdown of the relationship between Xu Da Mao and Qin Jing Ru.
Of course, a part of the reason was that Xu Da Mao did not actually look down upon Qin Jing Ru as a village girl.
His involvement with her back then was merely for amusement.
But Sha Zhu was different; Sha Zhu was "sincere" towards Qin Jing Ru.
However, Sha Zhu had a past as a labor reform inmate, which Qin Jing Ru found very distasteful.
Later, Sha Zhu shamelessly approached Yi Zhong Hai for help in facilitating his relationship with Qin Jing Ru.
In return, Sha Zhu promised to have Yi Zhong Hai act as the officiant at his wedding to Qin Jing Ru.
Furthermore, Sha Zhu vowed that he would support Yi Zhong Hai in his old age as if he were his own father.
Initially, Yi Zhong Hai had no intention of letting Sha Zhu get married.
If Sha Zhu were married, who would take care of him in his old age?
It was only by keeping Sha Zhu single and without heirs that he would obediently care for Yi Zhong Hai.
But later, the relationship between Sha Zhu and Yi Zhong Hai rapidly deteriorated.
The relationship between Yi Zhong Hai and Sha Zhu became extremely strained at one point.
If he didn't find a way to mend the rift, even if Sha Zhu remained single his entire life, he wouldn't care for Yi Zhong Hai.
Therefore, Yi Zhong Hai had no choice but to reluctantly accept the task.
Under the meticulous planning of First Master Yi, Sha Zhu finally succeeded in winning the heart of his beloved.
However, now, Sha Zhu had no funds for his wedding.
When he approached Yi Zhong Hai again to "lend him money," Yi Zhong Hai refused to fall into the trap under any circumstances.
With no other option, Sha Zhu had to resort to borrowing money from everywhere.
...
Deep in the night, Qin Huai Ru came to find Yi Zhong Hai.
"Why are you here again?" Yi Zhong Hai's old face darkened considerably upon seeing Qin Huai Ru.
Qin Huai Ru lowered her voice and said, "Yi Zhong Hai, I have a small matter that requires your help!"
"I want..."
"Shut up!"
Before Qin Huai Ru could finish, Yi Zhong Hai interrupted her, "I will not help with any of the Jia family's affairs!"
"And in the future, don't come here to disgust me. Seeing you now disgusts me!"
Yi Zhong Hai was blunt, giving Qin Huai Ru no chance to speak before issuing a dismissal order.
Although Qin Huai Ru and Yi Zhong Hai were still married at this point,
Yi Zhong Hai clearly knew in his heart that Qin Huai Ru was simply waiting for him to die so she could inherit his estate.
Yi Zhong Hai had proposed divorce multiple times over the years, but Qin Huai Ru had refused.
Of course, Yi Zhong Hai could also choose to file for divorce.
However, in this era, divorce was a significant matter for ordinary people.
To divorce, one needed to find a suitable reason.
Otherwise, one would be branded as a Chen Shimei.
Yi Zhong Hai had already been vilified for years after divorcing Lin Xue Ling.
If Yi Zhong Hai were to force a divorce from Qin Huai Ru now, who knew what people would say behind his back.
Therefore, Yi Zhong Hai had been very restrained on this matter.
But this did not mean that Yi Zhong Hai would be fooled again.
"Yi Zhong Hai, don't you hate Liu Kai Xuan?"
Despite Yi Zhong Hai's harsh reprimand, Qin Huai Ru did not give up!
Instead, Qin Huai Ru's emotions became more intense. "Losing your job and your reputation back then was all caused by Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Now, I have a way for you to get revenge and completely ruin Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Are you going to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
"Hehehe."
Yi Zhong Hai said calmly, "Qin Huai Ru, we are husband and wife. Listen to my advice!"
"You are no match for Liu Kai Xuan. Continuing to oppose Liu Kai Xuan will only lead to your death!"
"I advise you to give up. Liu Kai Xuan is a very unusual person!"
"In fact, I have a vague feeling that Liu Kai Xuan might possess some extraordinary means beyond our understanding!"
Qin Huai Ru sneered in response, "What is it, Yi Zhong Hai? I think you've been scared witless by Liu Kai Xuan!"
"I don't believe he, Liu Kai Xuan, can be that special?"
"As long as we join forces, I guarantee we will make Liu Kai Xuan vanish without a trace this time!"
"Moreover, Liu Kai Xuan ruined Bang Geng and all my hopes. I must make him pay with blood!"
"Hehehe..."
Yi Zhong Hai sneered back, "Qin Huai Ru, can't you live in reality?"
"The one who truly ruined Bang Geng was not Liu Kai Xuan, but you and Zhang Cui Hua!"
"When Bang Geng tried to poison me back then, it resulted in a major disaster, accidentally killing Old Lady Long!"
"Such a big incident was glossed over by you!"
"I..." Qin Huai Ru's old face flushed, and she retorted, "Bang Geng is just a child!"
"Besides, he didn't intentionally try to kill Old Lady Long at the time; it was an accident..."
"Yes!"
Yi Zhong Hai retorted sternly, "Bang Geng didn't intentionally try to kill Old Lady Long!"
"But he intended to kill me!"
Qin Huai Ru said shamelessly, "He didn't succeed, and he's still just a child!"
"Enough!"
Yi Zhong Hai sternly refuted, "He was about to kill someone, but in your eyes, he's still just a child!"
"What's the point of telling me this? Go tell Liu Kai Xuan!"
"Go to court and tell the judge, right now, don't delay!"
"Hmph!" Qin Huai Ru snorted coldly and said resentfully, "You are truly a useless spineless coward!"
"Let me be clear with you today. If you are willing to help me bring down Liu Kai Xuan and avenge Bang Geng!"
"I can give you a son, how about that?"
"This..."
Qin Huai Ru's proposal moved Yi Zhong Hai.
However, Yi Zhong Hai's hesitation lasted only a few seconds before he returned to reality.
Yi Zhong Hai said in a deep voice, "Alright, Qin Huai Ru, stop giving me empty promises!"
"I know my own physical condition well!"
"Even if I delusionally have a son, what would be the point?"
