Chapter 11

The Deaf Old Lady had made up her mind — she absolutely could not let them remarry!

Yi Zhonghai shared the same thought: "Wang Dahua, this is your fate with Lu Jianye."

"You're a worker at the Rolling Mill now too. You can still find someone better later."

"You two... let's part on good terms."

"Lu Jianye, you brat — such a huge thing, and you actually kept it from your wife."

"The way you are now, it'll be hard for us to set you up with anyone in the future."

The old thing, even at a time like this, still wants to play the good guy on both sides!

Lu Jianye gave a mocking smile.

Go ahead and put on your show.

I'm in no rush to expose you.

Wang Dahua had been completely snowed by the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai.

"Lu Jianye, how cruel you are!"

"Today it's you who doesn't want to remarry. If you regret it later, I won't agree to it either!"

Wang Dahua, thinking herself very proud and dignified, took her family and left!

The Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai exchanged a glance, and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jianye glanced at them: "As the saying goes, better to tear down ten temples than to break one marriage."

"The good deed you two did today — the heavens are watching!"

"Don't be impatient, karma is on the way."

Big shots, please send flowers, please send votes, please send everything~

008. The Deaf Old Lady Backs Up Sha Zhu? Lu Jianye: Playing the extortion game? I can do that! (Eight updates)

The backyard.

Lu Jianye's door was wide open.

He sat alone at the table, eating spicy big-plate chicken and chewy big-plate chicken noodles.

This made all the beasts of the courtyard green with envy.

"Lu Jianye this kid really knows how to hide his light. A level-seven chef's cooking is no joke!"

"This smells way too good — just smelling it makes my mouth water."

"Lu Jianye this kid's luck has turned. Now he can even afford to eat chicken."

"Looks like Wang Dahua really is a husband-killing fate. Back in the day, Lu Jianye's life was just plain miserable."

"But what he's doing now isn't very decent either — eating all by himself. He should at least send a portion to the Deaf Old Lady."

"Respecting the old and caring for the young — that's the tradition of our courtyard. Tradition can't be lost."

"Don't say it like that. The Deaf Old Lady caused Lu Jianye's divorce — he's holding a grudge."

"I heard today at the Rolling Mill, Sha Zhu lost a bet and went down on his knees to Lu Jianye, kowtowing and calling him 'Dad'!"

"If the Deaf Old Lady finds out about this, will she let him off?"

Lu Jianye had sharp ears — every word the beasts said, he heard it all.

But he didn't care.

A fat woman like Wang Dahua, and she still wants to remarry?

She can keep dreaming!

The Deaf Old Lady and a few beasts — aren't they good at stirring things up?

"Since you ruined my marriage, then I'll make sure none of you ever get to enjoy your old age!"

Before long, a plate of big-plate chicken and big-plate chicken noodles was scraped clean.

Just at that moment.

Sha Zhu came over, supporting the Deaf Old Lady.

Seeing all the good food was already gone, Sha Zhu got angry on the spot.

"Lu Jianye, you brat — are you a beggar? So much good food, and you finished it all in one go?"

"Don't you understand respecting the old and caring for the young? The Old Lady is your closest neighbor, and you actually ate all by yourself!"

"The Jia family has it so hard — you should at least give Especially Bang Geng a bite!"

"You've ruined all the rules of our courtyard. Do you have any conscience at all!"

Sha Zhu stood on the moral high ground, pointing at Lu Jianye.

Being bullied by Lu Jianye during the day had left him feeling wronged.

After work, Sha Zhu went out for a few drinks, and only then came back.

When he saw the Deaf Old Lady, he started pouring out his grievances.

The Deaf Old Lady couldn't stand by and watch, so she brought Sha Zhu over to demand justice.

With someone backing him up, Sha Zhu was on top of the world, shouting at Lu Jianye at the top of his lungs.

Lu Jianye glanced at the old and the young: "Stupid son, is that how you talk to your dad?"

"You unfilial brat — be careful or heaven will strike you with lightning."

Sha Zhu was furious, pointing one finger at Lu Jianye, about to curse him out.

Instead, the Deaf Old Lady beat him to it: "Lu Jianye, you little bastard — you dare bully my precious grandson!"

The old woman raised her cane, about to strike Lu Jianye.

Lu Jianye didn't even look at her: "Old Lady, you'd better think this through."

"Once that stick comes down today, I'll be flat on the ground."

"Anyway, I'm already divorced. A barefoot person fears no one wearing shoes."

"Besides, I'm now at least a minor cadre at the Rolling Mill. Anyone who crosses me is crossing the Rolling Mill!"

Shameless!

You think only you know how to stage a fake accident?

Come on!

Let me show you what a real staged accident looks like.

The cane raised by the Deaf Old Lady simply would not come down.

This rascal Lu Jianye truly isn't the soft persimmon he used to be.

Sha Zhu's face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing this, Lu Jianye's lips curled upward: "Actually, I still don't quite understand."

"Deaf Old Lady, you keep saying Sha Zhu is your obedient grandson."

"But has this obedient grandson of yours ever given you any of the good meals with big fish and meat he brought back from the canteen in his lunchbox?"

"Jia Dongxu isn't dead yet, Qin Huairu isn't a widow, and is the Jia family in difficulty?"

"Those good meals Sha Zhu brought back seem to have all gone to Qin Huairu, right?"

"Deaf Old Lady, what do you eat every day?"

"Steamed corn buns, pickled vegetables, cabbage stems, potato strips... tsk tsk tsk!"

"Sha Zhu, what a fine example of respecting the old and caring for the young you are!"

The Deaf Old Lady had been angry, but hearing Lu Jianye's words, she came to her senses a bit.

That's right.

Sha Zhu's lunchbox was never given to her; even He Yushui never received one. They all went to Qin Huairu.

Look at the Deaf Old Lady; she has always been good to Sha Zhu.

She protected him everywhere, making him the Sihe Academy War God and the tyrant of the Rolling Mill canteen!

But look at this rascal; his talk of respecting the old and caring for the young, and all those returns, are just words on his lips.

Sha Zhu noticed the Deaf Old Lady's expression wasn't quite right and quickly explained: "Old Lady, you can't listen to Lu Jianye sowing discord."

"I... I was just responding to First Elder Yi's call for mutual help."

Sha Zhu's explanation was very stiff.

The Deaf Old Lady, unhappy, said nothing and went home.

Sha Zhu felt bad too, shot a resentful glance at Lu Jianye, and went home as well.
