The three of them returned to the courtyard. The residents in the courtyard looked at Bang Geng with puzzled eyes, but because Yi Zhonghai was there, they didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, the third aunt came out with a few fish. When she saw the stick, her eyes lit up and she said loudly:

"Bang Geng is back. He has lost weight. Dong Xu, why don't you prepare some delicious food for the child?

It just so happens that Old Yan was lucky today and caught a few fish. Do you want me to exchange them with you?"

Jia Dongxu was a little embarrassed. He had just said at the police station that he was preparing delicious food for his son just to comfort him. How could he not know what was going on at home?

He asked shamelessly, "Third Aunt, what you said makes sense. How about you lend it to me first, and I will pay you back after I get my salary in a few days?"

The third aunt's face darkened, and she said unhappily: "Dongxu, although the donations have been returned, they were all paid for by your master, so don't cry poor.

My family is really poor. We are reluctant to eat the fish we catch. We want to exchange them for some coarse grains to fill our stomachs. You can’t be so unkind. "

Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed. How could he argue with the three aunts? He could only look at Yi Zhonghai helplessly.

After Banggeng came back, he had already scanned all the locks hanging on the lockpicks in the front yard and made a silent estimate in his mind.

But he remembered what his master had said, that it was best not to eat grass near your own backyard, so he could only let go of all the thoughts in his mind with some depression.

Bang Geng came to his senses and saw the fish in the hands of the three aunts, among which there was a bright red carp, and immediately shouted: "I want to eat fish..."

Hearing the noise in the front yard, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu also ran over.

When Qin Huairu saw Bang Geng, she rushed over and hugged him, tears streaming down her face. She choked with sobs and comforted him, "I'm glad my Bang Geng is back. You've suffered a lot. Let me see if you're hurt..."

The little cub didn't feel the mother's love at all and just kept shouting for fish.

When Jia Zhang saw the fish that the third aunt was carrying, she reached out to take it, saying:

"Old Yan, you are a nice neighbor. You knew my eldest grandson was coming back today and you still wanted to give him a gift. You are really polite."

The third aunt quickly stepped aside and angrily scolded, "Jia Zhang, who sent you a gift? Being released from the detention center is not a happy event. Why do you still want to set up a few tables to invite everyone to have a good time?

Stay away from me, the old man is still here, do you want to steal something?"

Jia Zhang's face turned black and she was about to roll up her sleeves. This old lady from the Yan family was good at talking and she had never won an argument, but as for a fight, Jia Zhang could not find an opponent among the women in the courtyard.

When Yi Zhonghai saw his disciple’s pleading eyes, he suddenly felt a headache and felt very tired.

And there is Jia Zhang. This family has just been gathered together, and they haven’t even entered the house yet, but they are already trying to make trouble.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yan Bugui's house again. The door was ajar. He was probably observing the situation. As long as Yang Ruihua suffered a loss, he would definitely jump out.

He sighed, took out two food coupons, handed them to the third aunt, took the carp off her rope, and threw it to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai gratefully and said, "Thank you, Master. I'll bring you a portion when it's ready."

Yi Zhonghai finally felt a little better. Dongxu was a good disciple. He waved his hand and replied:

"I'm glad you have this intention. I'm afraid Banggeng hasn't had a full meal in the past few days. Let him eat some more first."

When Jia Zhang saw that the fish had been returned to the Jia family, she stopped worrying and urged Qin Huairu to go home and cook.

The third aunt seemed to be hesitant to talk. She could say that this exchange was not a loss, but it was still a little short of the price she expected. When she was about to bargain again, Yan Bugui opened the door and called her.

The home of Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard.

He Yushui went home on Sunday and saw her brother lying on the bed in a depressed mood. She asked him about his concern, but he didn't say anything.

She could only ask people in the hospital and only then did she find out part of the reason.

"Brother, why were you punished to sweep the floor? Can you come back to the kitchen in the future?"

When Sha Zhu heard about sweeping the floor, he got angry and felt that he had lost face in front of his sister, so he replied unhappily:

"Don't worry about it. Just study hard. I can support you by just sweeping the floor."

He Yushui's eyes were red, and she complained, "How can I not care? I went to the hospital to take care of you last week, and you were not working steadily this week. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see you next week.

I am your only relative, so why can't I ask?"

Seeing that his sister was about to cry, Sha Zhu couldn't keep a stern face anymore, so he muttered, "Is there anyone who curses your brother like this?"

But he couldn't keep a sour face anymore, so he explained: "I was ambushed by someone before and lay in the snow for a while. It seems my hand was injured. Later I got a fever and was hospitalized. It got worse. My hand was always shaking and cramping from time to time.

I messed up the banquet today and the spoon was shaking uncontrollably when I was serving the food, so I was punished.

Don't worry, it's only for a month, the steel mill can't do without my cooking skills."

He Yushui is not as blindly optimistic as Sha Zhu. On the contrary, she is very precocious. She thought it was abnormal the last time Sha Zhu was hospitalized.

Just when she was about to continue asking questions, there was a knock on the door, so she had to go and open it.

"It's the old lady, come in quickly, it's warm inside."

The deaf old lady walked in slowly with a cane and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? My silly pillar doesn't welcome me anymore?"

Sha Zhu hadn't come to the backyard to see her for the past two days, and now he was looking at her with a strange look. She knew that she had come to the right place. After the gold was found in her home, everyone in the yard began to avoid her.

Sha Zhu did have complicated feelings, as he used to often bring food to the deaf old lady.

Although a large part of the reason was due to the influence of Yi Zhonghai, it was also because he respected the old lady.

He didn't expect the other party to hide it so deeply. He sometimes fantasized that if the gold had not been found, would the old lady leave it to him in the future.

The deaf old lady had no intention of changing Sha Zhu's impression in one go. She knew Sha Zhu too well. All she needed to do was help him a few more times and support him.

So the deaf old lady reminded: "Zhu Zi, I heard from Lao Yi that there is something wrong with your hand, you must pay attention to it.

Go see a doctor tomorrow. I suspect you are not ill, but someone may have set you up."

Sha Zhu replied doubtfully: "But when I was in the hospital, the doctor checked and said that my hand was fine."

"You are too naive. Go see some doctors, preferably some experienced Chinese medicine practitioners. Don't let this affect your job as a chef, which is a lifelong endeavor."

He Yushui was furious when he heard this. "Who is so wicked? Brother, have you offended someone? Let's go find him."

Sha Zhu subconsciously replied: "Who else except Xu Damao?

No, there is also Cao Anping. He was nearby when I was ambushed, but he probably didn’t do it himself.”

The deaf old lady interrupted the angry brother and sister and advised: "Zhu Zi, no matter who did it, don't think about revenge now. You have no evidence. The most important thing for you now is to see a doctor first.

If it can be cured, everything will be fine. If it cannot be cured, we can talk about settling the score later.

"I, an old woman, have lost my family fortune and the five-guarantee households. There is no point in living, so I am close to you, Zhuzi. I will vent my anger on you even if I risk my life."

Sha Zhu was immediately moved and said hurriedly, "Not really, old lady, you still have a long life ahead of you, I'll settle the accounts myself.

I will go to the doctor tomorrow. Thank you very much. You still care about me the most."

He Yushui curled her lips, feeling very annoyed. The desire to talk to Xu Damao and Cao Anping suddenly faded.
