After watching the execution, everyone who returned to the courtyard had smiles on their faces. After all, the mountain that was pressing on them had finally fallen.

But these situations did not include Yi Zhonghai. He went to the crematorium with a cane to collect the ashes of the deaf old lady, and buried her in the wild.

"Old lady, you left before I even started any of my plans. No matter how false our love was before, I still buried you. But who will bury me?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the buried deaf old lady and burned a few pieces of paper money before muttering to himself, "They really put it vividly: I don't know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident."

At this time, something happened in the courtyard. The deaf old lady was shot, but the street had no explanation on what to do with her house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family were discussing these things while eating. After all, they had been taking care of the old lady for a while, and now they had no gains despite their efforts, which was a big loss.

"Qin Huairu asked you to take care of the old deaf man, but now you have gained nothing. What about the old deaf man's house? You are smarter than others. Look at how bland your own home is every day," Jia Zhang began to point at Qin Huairu's nose and scold her.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and said nothing, because she didn't expect the deaf old lady to do such a thing, making her plan useless.

Suddenly, a smell of meat came from the front yard. The thin porridge in Jia Zhang's hand was as white as a mirror. She finally couldn't drink it anymore and cursed out the window, "Who is so wicked that they eat so well in the middle of the night without fear of choking to death?"

She looked again and saw that it was not He Yuzhu's house, so she quickly put on her shoes and walked out.

Qin Huairu was regretting her behavior so she ignored her.

Jia Zhang, who had gone out, smelled the smell and finally appeared at the door of Tietou's house in the front yard. She pushed the door twice but it didn't open.

Then he started to scold me, "You opened the door and ate delicious food secretly, but you didn't send some to my house. The smell of the fish you cooked is suffocating us. Hurry up and give us a fish as compensation."

Jia Zhang shamelessly expressed his own twisted and heretical ideas.

"Dad, is someone here to steal the meat?" Tietou's youngest son in the room said fearfully after listening to the noise outside and looking at the fish on the table.

Tietou heard the shameless voice of Jia Zhang. After all, no one else would ask for food during meal time, nor would they talk about asking for food in such a shameless way.

After taking a sip of wine and a bite of meat, Tietou said to his family, "Eat without worry. The old lady in the backyard has been shot and Yi Zhonghai has been overthrown. It is not against the law for us to eat our own food. No one can stop us. If they dare to provoke me again, I will make them pay."

After hearing Tietou's words, the son boldly picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully.

His wife, who heard Tietou's words, also said, "Listen to your father and eat without worry. If Jia Zhang dares to make trouble again, I will scratch his face," said a middle-aged woman in her 30s with a stern look on her face.

Hearing his parents say this, the child felt relieved and started to eat the fish quietly.

Qin Huairu, who was outside the house, found her mother-in-law coming to Tietou's house in the front yard and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Be careful that Tietou will beat you up. Are you dissatisfied that we are too comfortable living in this courtyard and are planning to send us back to the countryside?"

Jia Zhang was angry because Tietou ignored her and she didn't get the fish. When she heard Qin Huairu say that, she stepped forward and slapped her in the face, "Useless thing, if it weren't for you, why would I come back to ask for things."

Qin Huairu, who caught a cold after being slapped, covered her face and cried, "Mom, why did you hit me? Don't you think it's embarrassing enough to be in this yard?"

Jia Zhang didn't care about this and pinched Qin Huairu a few more times and said, "You are a jinx. Nothing good has happened to our family since we married you. Dongxu was killed by you and our grandson was thrown into prison. Now we are left with two money-losing pieces."

Seeing that Jia Zhang still refused to let her go, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and quickly ran towards her home, shouting at Jia Zhang to let her go.

At this time, the aggrieved expression on Qin Huairu's face no longer existed, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was very strange.

As soon as she reached the gate of the central courtyard and met Yi Zhonghai who came back to fetch water, Qin Huairu's expression changed and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She looked at Yi Zhonghai with tears in her eyes. Such a powerful acting ability really makes people feel ashamed.

"Uncle, you're still here to fetch water so late at night."

Before Yi Zhonghai could reply to Jia Zhangshi's words, a voice came from behind, "What's there to say about being with a cripple in the middle of the night? Did you hook up with him again? How can you be so shameless?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face suddenly changed with anger. He had originally planned to live together with Qin Huairu's family after the deaf old lady passed away, but now he has to reconsider.

Qin Huairu saw Yi Zhonghai's face change and quickly apologized, "Uncle, my mother-in-law is a little upset because the deaf old lady suddenly passed away. Don't take it to heart. I will take him back now."

Having said that, she didn't care whether Jia Zhang agreed or not. After all, Qin Huairu had been a fitter for several years and had some strength in her hands. She held Jia Zhang's hand and dragged her back to the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as they left, shook his head, and limped back to the gatehouse.

"Mom, you just slapped me, but I won't bother with you. Everything has to be done in moderation. I'm not without temper, but don't push me." Qin Huairu's face changed as soon as she entered the house.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was really angry, Jia Zhang stopped.

"Mom, you plan to let our family continue to live this bland life, eating steamed bread mixed with pickles every day, you are not satisfied yet," Qin Huairu gestured to the silent Jia Zhang while pointing out the things on the dining table.

Jia Zhang immediately refused to do so: "The old deaf woman has passed away. Although I don't have her food allowance, the white flour buns she was given should be given to me."

Qin Huairu was speechless when she heard what Jia Zhang said: "Can you have some aspirations? You also said that the deaf old lady is gone, but Yi Zhonghai is still here. It's not convenient for him to cook alone."

"You also saw the money Yi Zhonghai took from He Yuzhu's house. He won't let him form a partnership with us. Wouldn't that mean we can have more delicious food?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang looked up at her daughter-in-law. She didn't expect that her mind would turn so quickly and her eyes would be fixed on Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, let Yi Zhonghai send the money to our house later. There's no use for him to keep it anyway. He's an old, helpless man. Just make sure he doesn't starve to death," said Jia Zhang shamelessly.

"Mom, Yi Zhonghai is just disabled, not stupid. He can listen to your orders. We just need to invite Yi Zhonghai to our home and help him cook something. He will definitely not come empty-handed."

"You can eat it now, don't talk nonsense anymore. You have offended everyone in the courtyard. I don't know how you can survive."

"Don't forget, the deaf old lady is dead now, and we don't need to cook for her or take care of her. The people in the yard will definitely not give you face anymore, so you better be careful."
