The life of a villain in a courtyard

The deaf old lady now has no money and has lost her source of income, so she started to have evil thoughts. If she could get some money from him, her life in the future would be much better.

"Old lady, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. When did I ever harm you? I was still sleeping in the room when you got into trouble."

The deaf old lady sneered: "Xiuyun cleans our doorstep every day, how come there is suddenly such a big piece of ice? I think you are deliberately taking revenge on me! You have to pay me!"

"Oh, do you have any evidence?"

When I did this, it was late at night and no one saw it.

"Old lady, the room has been cleaned up, come back soon! It's windy outside so don't get blown away."

Just then Aunt Cui went out and shouted, interrupting the deaf old lady.

"Aunt Cui, your old lady is trying to blackmail me. She is blaming me for the broken leg. Are you going to do nothing about it?"

Su Yun shouted at Aunt Cui so that everyone in the yard could hear him.

Aunt Cui sighed and walked over: "Old lady, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with others."

"Why are your elbows bent outward?"

Xiuyun is good in every way. She is virtuous, able to endure hardships, has a good temper and is a kind person. But there is one bad thing about her: she is stubborn and doesn't know how to speak up for her family. I will ask Zhonghai to discipline her someday.

"Old lady, we have to be reasonable. We really have no evidence to prove that he caused you to break your leg."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, the old lady could only snort coldly and go home.

The old lady only behaved like this because she suffered a sudden blow and could not accept it for the time being, so she looked for someone to vent her emotions.

"Su Yun, I'm sorry, the old lady is old and a little confused. She can't tell the truth from the false. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Since Aunt Cui has spoken up for her, let's forget about it. But since the old lady is old, she should stay at home and not run around. Otherwise, it would be bad if she gets lost."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house without paying attention to Aunt Cui's expression.

"Hey! They are all so troublesome. I don't know why Old Yi insisted on finding a wife to support his family in the neighborhood office."

The old lady sighed and went home to cook. She felt like she was taking care of a child rather than an elderly person.

Soon, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun were put on the plate, along with a plate of pickled vegetables mixed with sesame oil.

The deaf old lady took a look at the food brought by the aunt. She had no appetite at all for the bland soup. Since she was no longer a five-guarantee household, her food supply had dropped drastically. She used to have some meat from time to time, but now it had completely disappeared.

But she changed her mind and decided that since Yi Zhonghai didn't care about her, she would go find Sha Zhu. She had always treated him as her grandson and now that her grandmother was in trouble, she couldn't just ignore her grandson. Thinking of Sha Zhu's craftsmanship, the deaf old lady couldn't bear it for a moment.

Sha Zhu was washing clothes in the middle courtyard. Yu Shui was about to take an exam, so Sha Zhu asked her to review for the exam at home and he took care of all the housework.

"Pillar!"

Sha Zhu looked up and saw the deaf old lady.

Before leaving, He Daqing had explained the whole cause and effect of the matter to the two of them, so his attitude towards the old lady was very complicated. On the one hand, he was very grateful that she took care of him and helped him through that difficult time. On the other hand, he hated her for conspiring with Yi Zhonghai to force He Daqing away, causing him and his sister to suffer for so many years. He didn't know whether he should hate her or not.

"What do you want, old lady?"

Sha Zhu tried his best to speak to her in a calm tone.

"I missed my grandson after not seeing him for so long, so I came to see you. You are still washing clothes in the middle of the day. Where is the rain? Let the rain do it. This is not a man's job."

"Yu Shui still has to study. She will take the exam soon. Our He family finally has a scholar. We can't let this little thing delay us. I have nothing to do, so I'll take out the dirty clothes and wash them. Madam, if you have nothing to do, go back first. It's windy this day. Don't let the wind catch a cold."

As the old saying goes, old people are shrewd and old horses are slippery. The deaf old lady, who has lived for more than 70 years, can be said to be a shrewd person. She easily read and heard the alienation in Sha Zhu's words.

"My dear grandson, why do I feel like something is wrong with you today? Is someone trying to sow discord between us?"

The deaf old lady's first reaction was that someone was trying to sabotage her, otherwise Sha Zhu would not have spoken to her in that manner.

"Have you finished washing your clothes?"

He Yushui poked her head out of the house. She was hungry.

"It'll be ready soon."

Sha Zhu turned around and responded, then wrung out the clothes one by one and hung them on the clothesline outside the door.

"Old lady, now that you have seen the people, go back. I have to cook for Yu Shui."

She was waiting for this meal, so she pretended not to hear and followed Sha Zhu back home.

"Ma'am, I haven't been to your house for a long time. I happen to be free today."

After saying that, she looked at Sha Zhu with a smile, wanting to see his reaction. After all, Sha Zhu had received her favor, and he was embarrassed to refuse, so he let the deaf old lady into the house.

"Brother, why is she here?"

He Yushui was a little nervous when he saw the deaf old lady. Everyone in the compound knew that the old lady was now a plague god, and her power was almost as powerful as that of enemy spies. No one dared to get close to her, for fear that the street office would misunderstand that there was some connection between them.

"How can I kick her out now that she's here? She helped us a lot back then. If she wants to sit, let her sit as a token of gratitude. She won't be able to sit there for long anyway."

"Yushui, when will you graduate?"

The deaf old lady felt a little embarrassed sitting in the room so she started chatting with He Yushui. He Yushui pretended not to hear her and continued reading.

After having no fun here, he turned around and went to the kitchen to chat with Shazhu.

"Zhu Zi, the food you cooked is so delicious. It looks like your cooking skills have improved."

"Of course, my dad taught me this himself!"

"Your dad? He Daqing is back?"

The deaf old lady looked incredulous.

"Yes, he came back a month ago, stayed for a few days and left again."

"gone!"

The old lady let out a long sigh, and then pretended to speak up for the Shazhu siblings.

"How can you be a father like this? You don't care about your son and daughter, but you insist on being someone else's stepfather."

"Ma'am, my brother didn't ask you to come to our house to listen to you speak ill of my father!"

He Yushui couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she put the book on the table and stood up.

"Old lady, you'd better leave. You are not welcome in our home!"

"What are you doing here, little girl? Your brother hasn't said anything yet!"

"Old lady, you should leave and don't come here again."

Sha Zhu chose to stand on He Yushui's side.

"Pillar, you!"

"Old lady, my father told us everything that happened back then."

He Yushui's words directly exposed the deaf old lady's little thoughts.

"Old lady, I am very grateful that you helped me when I was in the most difficult time, but all of this has nothing to do with you. Don't come to my house in the future. Let's just be ordinary neighbors from now on."
