Chapter 73: A cunning mother.
After a while, Zhang Yi heard a knock from outside the door.
What followed was Uncle You's voice.
"Zhang Yi, this is You Jiguang. Are you at home?"
He habitually glanced outside through the surveillance.
But soon Zhang Yi frowned.
This was because not only was Uncle You standing at the doorway, there was also a woman holding a child.
Although she was wrapped all over inside a thick down jacket, Zhang Yi knew that she was definitely that baby mama Xie Limei.
"What is she doing here?"
Zhang Yi still had a relatively good feeling towards Uncle You, but he didn't have any friendship with Xie Limei.
Moreover, due to his judgment from his previous life's experience, it always made him feel that this woman was not simple.
Zhang Yi stood up from his chair and walked to the door.
Zhou Keer just looked at it but did nothing, Zhang Yi was the master in this house.
Zhang Yi came to the door without opening it, "Is it Uncle You?"
He asked knowingly.
Uncle You said, "Yes, it's me."
Just at this time, Xie Limei behind him grabbed the door and said, "Zhang Yi, our family's Sugar Treasure has a high fever that won't go away. You help her!"
Her voice was tinged with tears.
Zhang Yi took out a box of Acetaminophen Mixed Drops and a box of Little Sunflower Cold and Flu Spirit that he had prepared long ago, and then threw them through the shooting hole above.
"Then hurry up and take the medicine to the child! It's no small thing to get sick at a time like this."
Uncle You hurriedly picked up the medicine on the ground, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Zhang Yi, thank you, thank you so much!"
Xie Limei picked up the medicine.
Uncle You was about to lead her away when a strange light flashed in her eyes.
She spoke, "Zhang Yi, I beg you for one thing. Can you let the baby stay in your home for a while first?"
"I know that your home is warmer with a heater inside. And our home can be cold!"
"The baby is sick right now, and I'm worried that she's freezing. Can you do us this favor?"
Next to him, Uncle You froze for a moment.
When he came, Xie Li Mei hadn't told him about this.
His heart was a little embarrassed, he hadn't communicated with Zhang Yi before he came.
Now that Xie Limei suddenly brought it up, it made him caught in the middle, and it was hard on his face.
However, seeing Xie Limei's sorrowful eyes, he didn't know what to say.
In the room, Zhang Yi heard Xie Lihua's words and the corner of his mouth hooked up slightly.
Gaining an inch?
"It's big sister Xie, right? I'm really sorry, I can't let anyone in at this very time. Moreover, the coal in our house is almost burned out, and to be honest, the temperature isn't much better than outside."
Zhang Yi would not be moved by her words.
Xie Limei said it nicely, for the sake of the child.
But neither he nor Zhou Ke'er had any experience in taking care of children, and even if they did, he was too lazy to do this kind of crap.
So once the child was let in, Xie Limei could also use the name of taking care of the child to follow her in.
It was easy to invite the gods but hard to send them away. If she had some bad intentions, wouldn't Zhang Yi have to be on guard 24 hours a day?
He wouldn't bother with that!
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Uncle You also whispered to Xie Limei: "Zhang Yi has been kind enough to us, and he even gave the child medicine. Let's go back and put on more clothes, we won't be able to freeze."
Xie Limei wiped her tears and said tearfully, "What do you know as a man? The baby is so small and very fragile."
She then said to Zhang Yi inside the door, "Zhang Yi, I know this request is a bit inappropriate. But I really have no choice!"
"Big sister knows that you have a kind heart, that's why you have the cheek to make this request."
"Please, for the sake of the baby, and for the sake of Big Brother You, let the baby stay in your home for a while!"
The words had been said to this point, and it brought the nearby Uncle You into the picture as well.
Generally speaking, if it wasn't someone with a particularly hard heart they would just let go.
When you make a big request to someone, it's best to make a small one first.
Then after the other person agrees to the small one, he or she will be too embarrassed not to agree to the big one that follows.
This shows that this woman is not simple.
Xie Lihua purposely did not communicate with Uncle You in advance, but waited until Zhang Yi finished delivering the medicine before proposing to let the baby stay in Zhang Yi's house.
But she underestimated how hard Zhang Yi's heart was.
Zhang Yi stood against the door with his arms wrapped around him, "Big Sister Xie, if this request was before the end of the world, I would have definitely agreed."
"Now now you know, hey, everyone inside this building wants to rob my house and wants me dead."
"I'm just too scared to let strangers in."
"I'm sure you can understand me too right? Uncle You, you should understand right?"
Uncle You nodded repeatedly.
It was very embarrassing for him to be caught in the middle at this moment, but the gratitude he felt in his heart towards Zhang Yi made him unwilling to continue troubling him.
"Yes, Zhang Yi is already good enough for us! Otherwise, who would be willing to give us medicine? Do you know how hard it is to get medicine now?"
Xie Limei bit her lip and didn't refute Uncle You, but just had two tears in her eyes and a pitiful look.
"But, didn't he let Zhou Ke'er live in their house?"
Zhang Yi smiled contemptuously and said, "Zhou Keer is my girlfriend. What's wrong with that?"
When Zhou Ke'er heard this drama of words, although she knew in her heart that Zhang Yi was just perfunctory to the other party, the corners of her mouth still hooked up slightly.
Compared to the truth, women cared more about a man's sweet words.
Even if she knew it was fake, she would self-hypnotize that it was true.
Xie Limei frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking of what to say.
But Uncle You wasn't as thick-skinned as her!
People Zhang Yi had helped him several times, he couldn't lose the face of the old man!
So he pulled Xie Limei and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Let's go, don't cause trouble for others. Zhang Yi has been kind enough to us, don't go too far!"
Seeing that Uncle You was really a bit angry, Xie Limei immediately changed her face to a resigned one.
"I know, I didn't want to do that ah, it's all for the sake of the child."
Uncle You spoke to the house, "I'm sorry, Zhang Yi. You don't mind her in general. Thank you for this time!"
Zhang Yi also said, "It's fine, everyone can understand this kind of feeling. Let's support each other!"
Through the surveillance, Zhang Yi saw Uncle You take Xie Limei and the child downstairs.
He returned to the table and said to Zhou Keer, "This woman is a bit troublesome!"
Zhou Keer said in disbelief, "Aren't there plenty of such people?"
Zhang Yi shrugged, "That's true, but Uncle You and I are on good terms. I'm afraid that she will interfere with the relationship between the two of us in the future."
Uncle You was the ideal wage earner chosen by Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi did not want this Uncle You to have a woman beside him, blowing some unorthodox wind in his ears.
Zhang Yi's heart was a little more wary of Xie Limei.
At the very least, she had coveted Zhang Yi's house and supplies in her heart.
