Chapter 162: Finding a Companion for Old Age

In the evening, Xu Damao organized a drinking party and invited Ma Hua, Sha Zhu's apprentice, to drink at Sha Zhu's house. After listening to Jia Honghong's words today, he felt it necessary to persuade Sha Zhu.

"I say Zhuzi, your granddaughter wouldn't mention her father's bad behavior for no reason today. She must have known something. I came here specially to remind you today, so don't take it lightly!" Xu Damao reminded Sha Zhu at the dinner table.

"Do you think I'm willing to take that thing in? There's nothing I can do about it! I've already promised Qin Huairu. I can still go back on my word if she's still alive, but where can I go to tell her now?" Sha Zhu drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said depressedly.

"Master, I think Xu Damao's reminder is correct. If Bang Geng hadn't stolen all the money from the sale of the house and ran away, Master's wife wouldn't have left so early. You can't let such a heartless and heartless person through this door. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles." Ma Hua also persuaded his master.

"Then what do you want me to do? If I only had one room, I could still find an excuse. But now that I still have an empty room, it's unreasonable not to let him in."

In fact, Sha Zhu was also very upset. Qin Huairu wanted to make things difficult for him before she died. Her pleading eyes made it impossible for him to refuse her last words.

"Since Honghong came to remind me, Banggeng will probably come in the next few days. So, let me stay in the vacant room temporarily, and tell others that you sold the house to me. I don't think Banggeng can stay here without a place to stay, right?"

Xu Damao gave Sha Zhu a bad idea. Ma Hua thought the idea was good, but it seemed to lack a reason to kick him out. He suddenly had an idea and proposed it at the table.

"Master, if you want Banggeng to give up completely, you need a companion. Once Banggeng comes, he will see that you have another mistress at home! He will definitely not be able to stay there any longer."

"Get out! You are making fun of your master! I am alone and free now, why would I look for a companion?" Sha Zhu almost spit out his wine, he pointed at his apprentice and scolded with a smile.

"Hey! Don't say your apprentice's move is to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot and solve the problem once and for all. Zhuzi, I'm not asking you to really find a partner. I'm just asking you to find someone to help you out in the next few days. Ma Hua, do you know any single aunties?"

Xu Damao clapped his hands and exclaimed! Sha Zhu has a new partner, so it has nothing to do with Bang Geng. This matter can also solve the problem satisfactorily!

"Liu Lan became a widow a few years ago, and her two sons were indifferent to her. After her family's area was demolished, she took turns living in her two sons' homes. As long as Master agrees, I will ask her to come and stay for a few days."

Ma Hua immediately thought of a candidate. Liu Lan was two years older than his master and was already seventy years old this year. I wonder if his master would mind.

"I think it's okay! Zhuzi, your objection is useless. For the sake of a peaceful life in the future, just listen to us. We're not asking you two to sleep in the same bed, we're just trying to deal with that joke."

Sha Zhu was about to stop him, but Xu Damao interrupted him and made the final decision. Sha Zhu thought, since Liu Lan was familiar with him, why not let her stay for a few days? There was still an empty room anyway.

After the three of them finished the discussion, Ma Hua said that he would go to see Liu Lan tomorrow. They have been colleagues for decades, and she would definitely agree to do him this small favor.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Jingyi took Jia Honghong to a social event and drove her back to Lou Mansion in Dongdan.

Tan Yali heard the sound of the courtyard door and went into her room to rest. In fact, Jingyi also knew that her grandma would wait for her to come back every night before going to rest, so she tried to rush home earlier.

After the two went up to the third floor, Jingyi asked Jia Honghong to go back to her room to rest, as she had to fly back to Hong Kong to go to school the next day.

But when Jingyi came out of the bathroom, Jia Honghong had already finished her shower and refused to leave her bedroom. She wanted to sleep with her sister-in-law tonight.

Ever since she told her aunt her secret, she felt that her reliance on her aunt had increased a lot. She was even closer to her!

Hey! I am already 70 years old in my two lives, why am I so dependent on my aunt? It seems that my aunt has an incomparable personality charm!

Jingyi could only let her do what she wanted! Her bed was not too crowded for three or four people to sleep on. She sat on the dressing table and began to take care of her hair. Jia Honghong looked at her perfect figure that would be fat if she gained an inch and thin if she lost an inch. Suddenly, she remembered the issue they discussed last night.

"Aunt, do you have a secret recipe for delaying aging? Everyone in our family looks younger than others. I asked my great-grandmother, and she asked me to ask you." Jia Honghong couldn't help asking.

"Where in the world can such a magical prescription come from? You are a doctoral supervisor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry. Have you ever heard of anyone who invented such a drug?" Jingyi asked her back.

Jia Honghong shook her head! In her previous life, until the 1940s, she had never heard of such a drug in the world.

Jingyi brought a thermos cup over and poured her a cup of health tea. She asked her to drink the tea and go to the inner room to sleep, and Jia Honghong did as she was told.

Sleeping next to her aunt made Jia Honghong feel extremely safe. When she woke up the next day, her aunt had already gotten up and gone to work.

My aunt is so hardworking despite having such a big family business, I should also work harder. I hope I can share some of the work pressure with my aunt in the future!

After flying back to Hong Kong from Taipei in the afternoon, Jia Honghong would go into her portable laboratory to develop drugs whenever she had free time.

Her thick pharmacopoeia contained the ingredients and molecular structures of various medicines, but there was no ingredient ratio for the medicines. This required her to conduct mixing experiments bit by bit.

Unlike Jingyi, she could not buy physical medicines and just analyze them to know the composition and ratio of the medicines. She still had to do tens of thousands of experiments to achieve her goal! But even so, she still took a shortcut compared to others. At least her experimental direction was correct and she would not take a detour like others!

After the new drug was developed, she kept her aunt's words in mind and only sorted out the data of the drug. After she graduated from university and went to Baishoutang Pharmaceutical Group, she slowly brought out the results one by one.

On the other hand, Ma Hua went to find Liu Lan the next day and told his former colleagues in the cafeteria about the difficulties his master was about to encounter. He hoped that Liu Lan could stay at Sha Zhu's place for a while and help his master.

"Why do I feel like this isn't something that a fool would come up with? It's a stupid idea from you, right?"

Liu Lan had worked with his two masters and apprentices for decades, so he knew who came up with the idea as soon as he heard about this.

"Just tell me if you can help me! I'll be frank with you. My master has been single for so many years. If you feel the same way, you should seize this opportunity. If you two can really make it, I will be relieved for my master."

Ma Hua also told Liu Lan his true intentions. If these two people can grow old together, it is better than being alone for the rest of their lives.

"Does Sha Zhu really not want to take care of Qin Huairu's son?"

Liu Lan's gossiping heart was ignited again. When she was young, she liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and she couldn't change this habit even when she was old.

"How can I care about this? You also know that boy has been stealing since he was young. My master has been working very hard for him. But this boy is an ungrateful person. He has delayed my master's marriage for eight or nine years. Otherwise, my master would have had his own child long ago."

"Ten years ago, that kid stole 100,000 yuan from the sale of our house and ran away. Now I heard he's coming back! How can we let him live in this place again? My master is a soft-hearted man who values ​​loyalty, but as his apprentice, I must make decisions for him."

Ma Hua is also a famous chatterbox! When these two meet, they really chat with each other enthusiastically.

"Ouch! We can't chat anymore. I have to go to work. Bring some change of clothes with you this afternoon. I'll ask my master to wait for you at home."

Ma Hua rode away on his bicycle! Liu Lan sat there and thought for a long time. She thought it would be nice to be with Sha Zhu in old age! Both of them have retirement pay and no burden.

I don't know what Shazhu is thinking! Then I'll go over there this afternoon and get to know him slowly.
