Chapter 381 The Jia Family's Chance to Change Their Fate
Li Qin could see it from today's college-wide meeting;
The deaf old woman, Yi Zhonghai, and He Yuzhu's families have now formed a complete alliance.
To Li Qin's surprise, Yi Zhonghai's apprentice Jia Dongxu, and the rest of the Jia family, remained remarkably quiet throughout the day.
No matter what Yi Zhonghai did, the Jia family didn't react much or make any statements.
It's like the two families are just ordinary neighbors.
"What's going on? Something seems off between the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai today."
Upon returning home, Li Qin went straight into the kitchen.
As he closed the doors and windows, he used the magic of life to prepare dinner.
Since he didn't have to cook for himself, Li Qin had time to let his mind wander.
Li Qin couldn't help but recall the academy-wide meeting that had just taken place.
He noticed that some people seemed to be behaving very strangely tonight.
Based on my analysis of the original plot, the relationship between the Yi family and the Jia family should be in a honeymoon period. As for He Yuzhu, he can only be considered a henchman in Yi Zhonghai's mind.
But now the situation seems to have changed somewhat.
Li Qin frowned.
Moreover, he hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he realized something was wrong, he recalled what had happened recently.
Li Qin noticed that, at some point, the relationship between the Jia family and the Yi family seemed to have become less close.
Although Jia Dongxu still follows Yi Zhonghai around when he goes to work, and still calls Yi Zhonghai "Master" as usual.
But what's missing is a genuine emotion.
At this point, Li Qin even began to suspect that something had happened between the Jia and Yi families that he was unaware of.
"Sigh, although I knew from the moment I transmigrated that my existence would definitely affect some things, I didn't expect it to have such a rapid impact on the interpersonal relationships within the courtyard."
Having traveled through time, Li Qin understood the terrifying nature of the butterfly effect better than anyone else.
"Fortunately, I don't really care about the so-called plot, otherwise it would have been a real headache."
Li Qin quickly put the matter aside.
After all, with his current abilities, even if the plot goes wrong, he can remain calm and collected without worrying about any major problems.
There's no need to worry too much about whether the plot will change.
What Li Qin didn't know was that the change in the relationship between the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai was indeed related to him to some extent;
When he first transmigrated, he was targeted by Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai wanted to train Li Qin to be his caretaker, but Li Qin, who had transmigrated from another era, was well aware of Yi Zhonghai's problems.
That wasn't simply for retirement.
Yi Zhonghai's real problem is terrifying, even bordering on a perverse desire for control.
Coupled with his pride as a time traveler and his confidence in possessing extraordinary power, Li Qin simply rejected Yi Zhonghai.
However, Jia Dongxu clearly saw what Yi Zhonghai was doing at the time.
Although Jia Dongxu didn't say it directly at the time, the seed of dissatisfaction with Yi Zhonghai had already been planted in his heart.
As time went by, in order to get good results in the worker level assessment, Jia Dongxu would often ask Yi Zhonghai for advice. Unfortunately, each time Yi Zhonghai would only teach Jia Dongxu some basic knowledge.
Those who possess even a little bit of technical skill are unwilling to teach at all.
The key point is that Yi Zhonghai even went so far as to claim that he was helping Jia Dongxu solidify his foundation:
At first, Jia Dongxu didn't realize what was going on, but as time went on, he eventually realized that something was wrong.
Once, twice...
Repeated inquiries and disappointments directly fueled the seeds of discontent in Jia Dongxu's heart.
That's why Li Qin noticed the unusual relationship between the Yi and Jia families.
It's normal for Jia Dongxu to have some dissatisfaction.
If it were Li Qin, the reaction would probably be even more intense.
Think about how Jia Dongxu served as Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, always doing his bidding and always treating Yi Zhonghai with utmost respect and filial piety.
But Yi Zhonghai was not satisfied and even wanted to replace Jia Dongxu.
What's most infuriating is that since they took Jia Dongxu as their apprentice, they should have properly taught him his skills and craftsmanship.
How did Yi Zhonghai do it?
Normally, he only teaches Jia Dongxu some basic things, but he doesn't teach him any advanced knowledge or skills.
Not to mention that the steel rolling mill is about to hold a worker-level assessment.
The performance evaluation and the resulting rank directly impact each employee's income and status...
At this critical juncture, in order to maintain control of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai still refused to teach Jia Dongxu his true skills.
Such actions could not help but chill the Jia family's hearts.
In terms of teaching apprentices, Li Qin felt that Yi Zhonghai was not even as good as Liu Haizhong.
Although Liu Haizhong was somewhat power-hungry and had some violent tendencies, he was very dedicated when teaching his apprentices.
It was precisely the difference between Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong in how they taught their apprentices that ultimately led to different results:
At the beginning of the story, Liu Haizhong was only a level seven blacksmith, but he had already trained several level five blacksmiths.
As for the first, second, third, and fourth level forgings, there are even more.
However, Yi Zhonghai failed to train even a single senior technician.
Thinking of this, Li Qin couldn't help but shake his head, and then said in a complicated tone;
"If the Jia family can really sever ties with Yi Zhonghai, and then Jia Dongxu can find a qualified mentor to guide him, he might really be able to change his fate."
In Li Qin's view, Yi Zhonghai was largely responsible for the Jia family's tragic future.
If Jia Dongxu were to sever ties with Yi Zhonghai now...
Then perhaps he won't die young in the future.
As long as Jia Dongxu doesn't hang it on the wall, the Jia family won't end up in the situation depicted in the story.
The fates of Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, Banggeng, Xiaodang, Huaihua, and even He Yuzhu and others will all change.
Unfortunately, none of these things have happened yet, and only Li Qin knows about them.
Therefore, it's impossible to say for sure whether the Jia family will completely sever ties with Yi Zhonghai in the future.
Most importantly, Li Qin has no intention of getting involved in the affairs of these two families for the time being.
Li Qin shook his head and refocused his attention on the kitchen.
Two dishes are already cooked, and there are two more to go.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and although Li Qin is alone, he will not treat himself badly.
As the two dishes were cooked, a delicious aroma immediately began to spread throughout the courtyard.
Because of the magical seal, the enticing aroma will only spread within the courtyard and will not affect other places at all.
Even the neighboring courtyard house wouldn't smell it at all.
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
The aroma of the food had barely filled the air when Li Qin heard a series of system notifications.
Li Qin simply smiled with satisfaction.
This was something he had planned all along.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the residents of the courtyard houses will prepare some good food.
Everyone was originally planning to have a nice meal,
But upon smelling the aroma of food wafting from Li Qin's house, they all immediately showed expressions of helplessness.
The look in her eyes when she looked at her own food was no longer as cheerful as before.
