Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Chapter 63: Digging a Trap for the Deaf Old Lady

"White lotus, isn't it time for it to bloom yet?" Lu Zhenyuan sighed inwardly and continued walking towards the backyard.

Qin Huairu later became a vampire white lotus and had an inseparable relationship with the Jia family.

After all, Jia Zhang was mean, Jia Dongxu was useless, and she had no support from her natal family, so she could only pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy, especially after Jia Dongxu was hanged on the wall.

Limited by her own vision and current circumstances, if she didn't act more pitiful, she would probably be bullied to death by Jia Zhang.

Revolt? If she really wanted to rebel and quarrel with Jia Zhang, her reputation in the compound would be ruined. After all, they were still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one was the elder and the other was the younger.

Although she still had to endure the bullying of Jia Zhang after becoming a white lotus, she could also win sympathy in the compound.

If white lotus is Qin Huairu's inherent attribute, then bloodsucking is really due to the coercion of Jia Zhang and the Jia family.

The vampire of the Jia family seems to be Qin Huairu, but in fact it is Jia Zhang!

Jia Zhang wanted to take advantage of Qin Huairu on the one hand, and on the other hand, she wanted Qin Huairu to remain a widow for her son. She could be said to be a bloodsucking woman. However, Sha Zhu, who was being sucked dry, was not innocent at all. After all, she was happy about it.

Besides, the vampire is Jia Zhang, but it is hard to say whether this influence is good or bad, after all, Sha Zhu was willing to be sucked.

And Qin Huairu herself also hides the nature of being fickle, and has unclear relationships with several men. Is she really just trying to take advantage of them? Their family is not so poor that they can't even afford to eat, not to mention that they have Shazhu to help them.

Lu Zhenyuan shook his head. Why think so much? This is all for the future.

It remains to be seen whether Qin Huairu will become what he imagines in the future. So far, the impression Qin Huairu gives him is pretty good, so he won't cling to the preconceived impression. He can just wait and see.

Jia Zhang walked out of the house and stood at the door, staring at Lu Zhenyuan's back. "You little bastard, you don't know how to be filial to me when you have something delicious. Go give it to that damn old woman. Humph!"

His eyes rolled around, thinking that the school was closed this afternoon, and the Lu family only had those two little brats? Now that little beast had gone to the backyard, there was only a money-loser in the front yard.

It’s not too much to scare yourself and get something, right?

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang did not say anything and quietly walked along the corridor towards the front yard.

Qin Huairu, who had just picked and washed the vegetables, was getting up and walking home when she saw Jia Zhang walking towards the front yard. She opened her mouth but said nothing. She had noticed something was wrong after being married into the Jia family for so many days.

Jia Zhang's attitude towards her was not completely different from that on the day of the blind date, but there was also a huge difference.

But for her, being able to marry into the city was already very good. Many girls in the village envied her, so she took the initiative to take care of all the housework. These days, she almost did all the housework by herself.

It's a bit tiring, but it's better than digging for food in the fields in the countryside.

The only thing that is not so perfect is that the husband is too short.

When Jia Zhang entered the front yard, she immediately saw three cuttlefish hanging in the middle of the yard.

There is very little seafood in Sijiucheng, mainly because the people of Sijiucheng prefer to eat river fish instead of seafood. Ordinary people have few opportunities to eat seafood.

Jia Zhang didn't know many words, so naturally she didn't know what was hanging there, but she knew it must be food, and she had never seen it before, so it must be valuable and precious.

At this moment, there was no time to go to Lu's house to get things.

The second courtyard is much quieter than the third courtyard. After all, there is only one family in the narrow first courtyard, and the second courtyard is not fully occupied either.

No one was outside at this time.

Jia Zhang didn't care whether there was anyone watching in the house or not. She jumped out with her slightly bloated body at an extremely fast speed, ran to the center of the yard, and pulled down the three cuttlefish, not caring about the clothesline that fell over.

He put the three cuttlefish in his arms and ran back.

The whole action took no more than five seconds, and Yan Bugui, who was staring at him enviously in the west wing, was stunned.

What the hell just passed?

On the other side, Lu Zhenyuan didn't know that the bait he had set had been stolen by the thief. When he arrived at the deaf old lady's door, he knocked on it.

"Who is it?" The voice of the deaf old lady came from inside the house.

Lu Zhenyuan cleared his throat and said, "I am from the Lu family in the front yard, Lu Zhenyuan."

"What's the matter?"

Hey, this deaf old lady is quite cautious. Is there anything shameful going on?

"I got some cherries here. I saw that you, an old lady, fell a few days ago and no one took care of you, so I brought you some cherries." Lu Zhenyuan's tone was full of impatience and a hint of alms.

The deaf old lady in the house felt relieved after hearing this, because she felt sorry for the old lady.

It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel guilty about the Lu family. After all, the rumors about the Lu family were spread by her. Although she couldn't admit that she said it, she had seen how ruthless the boys from the Lu family were. How could she not feel guilty?

The door was pushed open with a creak, and the deaf old lady blocked the door.

"Oh? You sent cherries to me, your wife?" The deaf old lady looked smiling, but there was still a hint of inquiry in her words.

Lu Zhenyuan rolled his eyes.

"Why do you act like someone is trying to harm you, old lady? If I didn't feel sorry for you because you are so old and have no one to take care of you, I wouldn't say that. As he said that, he stuffed a big cherry into his mouth and spit the seeds directly in front of the deaf old lady's door.

Looking at the big red cherries, the deaf old lady swallowed and the fake smile on her face turned kind.

"Okay, then thank you for taking pity on me, an old lady." As she said that, she stretched out her hand. She thought Lu Zhenyuan would hold three or five of them.

As a result, Lu Zhenyuan took out a handful of money from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. One hand was too big to take it, so she had to hold it with both hands.

After giving the cherries to the deaf old queen, Lu Zhenyuan left without even saying goodbye, looking unhappy.

The deaf old lady didn't mind, thinking that she had neglected the boy and made him unhappy, but she didn't take it seriously. Who was she? What was wrong with eating some cherries? It was her duty to show respect to her.

Lu Zhenyuan returned to the front yard. As soon as he walked through the main hall, he saw the clothes drying rack lying in the yard, and the three cuttlefish hanging on it had disappeared.

He didn't say anything and picked up the clothes rack silently.

Yan Bugui opened the door and walked into the yard. He first glanced at the back of the hall before coming up to Lu Zhenyuan.

"Xiao Lu, guess what I just saw?" Yan Bugui said as he glanced at the clothes rack.

The meaning is very clear. He saw who stole the cuttlefish, but if you want him to tell you, you have to give him some benefits, or at least do him a favor.

"Did you see it?" Lu Zhenyuan raised his eyebrows deliberately.

Yan Bugui nodded but said nothing.

"Someone from the courtyard?"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment and continued to nod.

"Okay, it's getting late now. I'll settle the score with the thief after dinner. Then, Old Yan, if you can prove who stole the goods, you will get some benefits." Lu Zhenyuan said, shaking the remaining cherries in his hand.

Yan Bugui was delighted when he heard this, but he was still a little hesitant. It would be offending to testify in person, so he said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, how about I tell you who stole it now, just show your appreciation."

His eyes glanced at the big cherries.

Lu Zhenyuan immediately shook his head and slapped Yan Bugui on the shoulder. Old Yan's face suddenly became troubled. This kid has really strong hands!

"Old Yan, are you stupid? Why did I ask you to testify on the spot? Isn't it to show your fairness, integrity, and selflessness? Have you forgotten what's going to happen recently?"

What's going on recently...

Yan Bugui thought about it and immediately came to his senses. Yes, we have to choose the person in charge of the hospital.

Before he could think more, Lu Zhenyuan's voice continued, interrupting his thoughts.

"Since you saw it, you should testify against it. This way, people in the courtyard can see your noble character. If you want your neighbors to really support you as the manager, you can't just rely on your favors. Who can afford a flower like yours?"

"You have to let them see your responsibility. Otherwise, if something happens in our front yard, and you, the manager, can't say anything, how can you convince them?"

Yan Bugui's mind worked very quickly and he realized that what Lu Zhenyuan said made sense.

"Okay then, Xiao Lu, I'll help you testify then!"

Lu Zhenyuan nodded and stuffed the remaining cherries in his hand into Yan Bugui's pocket. "Well, it's a win-win situation, but I don't want to lose favors. Let's put things one way and one way."

Originally, Yan Bugui should have been feeling very happy at this time, but after hearing what Lu Zhenyuan said, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

It seemed that building a good relationship with the Lu family was more in his interest than taking advantage of this.

But now that things have come to this, he can't regret it, mainly because he can't bear to do so. He thinks that he can take the initiative to do some favors for the Lu family in the future to avoid being too distant.
