Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Sha Zhu rushed in because he was worried that Cao Yue would bully his sister, but before he could ask for an explanation, he was instead scolded by Cao Yue.

In an instant, the flames in my chest burst out.

"Mr. Cao, stop talking nonsense. Let me ask you, did you bully Yu Shui just now?" Sha Zhu asked.

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Cao Yue and I are discussing serious matters. If you don't believe me, go ask Uncle and Aunt."

He Yushui defended herself with a red face.

Sha Zhu snorted coldly: "I will naturally go and settle the score with them. They had the guts to let my sister stay in the same room with a man."

Cao Yue said sternly: "Brother Zhu, everyone knows my character, so just put your heart at ease."

"Tsk!" Sha Zhu responded with a sneer.

Cao Yue looked at He Yushui helplessly: "Yushui, it seems that your brother has a deep misunderstanding of me."

He Yushui's cheeks were already red, and she secretly winked at Cao Yue, asking him to leave first.

Cao Yue nodded in understanding, stood up and said, "Yushui, tell my meaning to the uncle. If he disagrees, then we will handle the matter in a fair and impartial manner."

After saying that, he nodded politely to Sha Zhu and said goodbye.

Sha Zhu snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Cao Yue was not angry. He winked at He Yushui, then turned and left.

Sha Zhu stared at Cao Yue's back until he was out of his sight, then turned his head and said unhappily:

"Yushui, did you ignore my words? How many times have I told you to stay away from this guy?"

He Yushui snorted: "Brother, I have the right to make friends, you have no right to interfere!"

"Besides, I never promised you to cut off contact with Cao Yue. Instead, you said this morning that you wanted to cut off contact with me."

"If that's the case, why are you coming over to control me now?!"

"You heartless little girl! I just said that in anger!"

Sha Zhu said unhappily, "You used to come back once a month at most, but now I don't know what's wrong. You just came back last week and you came back again this week."

"There's nothing good at home. I just went to the market to buy a chicken. I'll make soup for you later."

"Brother, thank you, you are so nice." He Yushui said with emotion.

It turned out that her brother went to buy a chicken for her. No wonder she didn't see him even though such a big thing happened in the yard.

"Hmph! Stop saying these useless things. If you listen to me in the future, that will be your repayment for me." Sha Zhu snorted.

He Yushui's gratitude immediately disappeared and she didn't want to talk to Silly Brother anymore.

"By the way, when I entered the yard just now, I heard from the neighbors that Cao Yue's house had been robbed?" Sha Zhu said happily.

"Brother, you are so happy that someone got robbed!"

He Yushui rolled his eyes at his brother who was gloating over his misfortune, and then smiled and said:

"Don't be happy too soon. If you knew whose child stole it, you probably wouldn't be happy."

"Who stole it?"

Sha Zhu blinked his eyes and looked at his sister's meaningful eyes, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

“Great joke!!”

Sha Zhu blurted out.

"Smart!" He Yushui laughed.

Sha Zhu couldn't be happy, thinking about what Cao Yue and He Yushui had just said, he gradually understood.

Cao Yue knew who the thief was and would definitely not let it go. It was no use for the old man to intercede for him, so he asked Yu Shui to mediate.

"How much compensation did Cao Yue want?" Sha Zhu asked hurriedly.

He Yushui looked at her impatient brother, but she was no longer anxious. She said calmly, "Brother, this is none of your business. You'd better not interfere."

"Who said it's none of my business? What happens in the compound is my business!" Sha Zhu said with his eyes wide open.

Seeing that he was getting anxious, He Yushui no longer concealed the truth and told him what she knew.

"What? Six hundred dollars??"

When Sha Zhu heard the amount of compensation, he immediately became angry, "Isn't this just taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me?"

"You see, Cao Yue can no longer hide his true colors. He is not a good person."

"Brother, why can't you tell right from wrong?"

He Yushui retorted: "Didn't you go to Cao Yue's house and see that Banggeng not only stole things, but also threw all his things on the ground and stepped on them, and then peed on the quilt."

"It's so cold, and without a blanket, what do you want Cao Yue to cover himself with at night? Will he freeze to death?"

"This is too much, too immoral, and I don't know who ordered this!"

"Since this is the case, we should pay according to the price. Cao Yue is wrong to ask for ten times the compensation."

Sha Zhu sneered: "If you are fussing with a child, he deserves to be frozen to death."

"Brother, why are you so sarcastic and your words are so harsh." He Yushui also became angry.

"It's unpleasant. I haven't said anything more unpleasant yet."

The two siblings were arguing so hard that they didn't notice anyone entering the house.

"Cough cough!"

Yi Zhonghai coughed twice and finally attracted the attention of the two people.

He Yushui quickly restrained his expression and apologized, "Uncle, I was just about to look for you. Cao Yue said that I must pay 600 yuan, otherwise..."

"Yushui, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

Yi Zhonghai nodded gently to He Yushui, then walked out and turned back to scold Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, you are so ignorant. Why are you arguing with your sister? Come out for a moment. I have something to tell you."

……

Sha Zhu followed behind and entered Yi Zhonghai's house.

An auntie asked anxiously, "Old Yi, what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Six hundred yuan."

"Oh." The aunt lowered her head in disappointment.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Sha Zhu and said to his wife, "Yu Shui has done her best. Cook a few more dishes tonight and ask her to come over for dinner."

"Okay, I'll get ready right now."

After the lady left, Sha Zhu said in dissatisfaction: "Uncle, if it were you, I'd just pay fifty dollars, and you can take the rest if you want."

Yi Zhonghai did not comment and said, "Zhu Zi, this matter is over. Don't get involved, lest you make things worse."

Sha Zhu was unconvinced and said, "Would I be afraid of Cao Yue? Just wait and see, I will avenge you sooner or later."

"Your beloved disciple is to blame for this. He is such a coward who can provoke trouble but cannot stand up for himself. He became a coward after causing trouble and even asked you to come out and settle it for him. You owe him!"

"Other people's apprentices are filial to their masters, but you are the other way around. You keep giving money to him to fill his hole. What kind of world is this?"

Sha Zhu's words were like arrows, piercing Yi Zhonghai's heart full of holes.

He had already regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Looking at Sha Zhu who was standing up for him, he suddenly realized that the best person for retirement was right in front of him.

He has woken up!

The reason why I didn’t choose Sha Zhu before was because he was indeed a bit stupid, had a bad mouth, relied on his good cooking skills, but had poor interpersonal relationships.

He was also worried that He Daqing would suddenly return from Baoding.

He Daqing is not a pushover.

In the entire courtyard, the person Yi Zhonghai fears the most is him.

but.

Now so many years have passed, and He Daqing shows no sign of returning.

Even if he came back later, there would have been a rift between father and son and their relationship would not be good.

What’s more important is that Sha Zhu is capable of taking responsibilities. At least he is not like Jia Dongxu who hides away when something happens.

Yi Zhonghai is looking for a retirement partner so that he can have someone to take good care of him when he is old, not a trouble-making father!

Like now, he has to clean up Jia Dongxu's mess endlessly. What's this?
