Yi Zhonghai knocked gently on the door of Banggen’s room, but there was no response from within. He knocked again and said in a gentle tone, "Banggen, it's First Uncle. Open the door; let's have a proper talk, just the two of us." After a long while, the door creaked open, and Banggen let Yi Zhonghai into the room with a look of reluctance on his face.
Yi Zhonghai found a stool and sat down. Looking at Banggen, he said earnestly, "Banggen, I know you have grievances against me. But you have to think about how hard your mother has had it all these years. She’s worked herself to the bone every single day just to raise you children."
Banggen kept his head down, remaining silent. Yi Zhonghai continued, "I’m not marrying your mother for any ulterior motive. I just want to help shoulder the burden and make life a little easier for all of you. From now on, if you have any ideas or want to pursue something, First Uncle will support you."
