Chapter 225

Yi Zhonghai spoke for a long time, then simply gave five yuan and left for good.

She wasn't his own mother, anyway.

Being able to do this much is enough.

The Deaf Old Lady took the money, but she cursed the entire Yi Zhonghai family up and down.

"You old childless wretch, no wonder you're childless, just you wait for me!" the Deaf Old Lady threatened viciously.

She had originally intended to use the matter of embezzling He Great Qing's money back then to threaten Yi Zhonghai.

But Yi Zhonghai had already said it himself: he had made things clear with Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu believed him.

The Deaf Old Lady had no choice; saying anything was useless.

Lying on the kang, hungry, her leg aching severely.

The Deaf Old Lady was not reconciled.

In all these years, she had never been this miserable.

In the courtyard.

This matter fermented rapidly.

"Yi Zhonghai is playing for real; he's really not going to care about the Deaf Old Lady anymore."

"We have to be careful from now on; when the Deaf Old Lady was young, she was a real shrew!"

"Maybe one day she'll come to our house and refuse to leave, making us support her in her old age!"

"Yi Zhonghai really isn't a decent person either; now that he's down on his luck, he just stops caring about the Deaf Old Lady?"

"Won't he have a day when he's old too!"

"They are all the same kind of trash; just wait and see, they'll all end up the same way!"

Everyone in the courtyard was gloating.

They had been bullied by the Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai in the past, and now that they were getting their comeuppance, these people were naturally happy.

Lu Jianye nodded slightly.

Yi Zhonghai was indeed a good one; he really did strike a ruthless blow!

The Deaf Old Lady has no one to support her in her old age?

Abandoned by her partner.

But she is no pushover; she will definitely retaliate.

How will she retaliate?

Lu Jianye needs to help out a little.

Thinking back to how they teamed up to bully people, now they should kill each other off.

Dogs biting dogs, beasts fighting beasts—that is the only way it's interesting.

The next morning.

The Deaf Old Lady was so angry she was up very early; she couldn't sleep.

The room was cold, she was hungry, and her leg hurt; she had barely slept all night.

She wanted to go buy food, but she walked slowly, so she left early.

Lu Jianye also got up early; he did it on purpose.

"Oh my, isn't this the Deaf Old Lady?"

"Up so early? Are you exercising?"

Lu Jianye was riding his bicycle and deliberately slowed down beside the Deaf Old Lady.

The Deaf Old Lady, with her bound feet and little cane, walked about as fast as a snail crawling.

Seeing Lu Jianye, the Deaf Old Lady activated her "playing deaf" skill.

"What did you say?"

"You want to take me to the supply and marketing cooperative? That's good; this old woman walks too slowly, it's just right to ride a bike."

The Deaf Old Lady really didn't want to walk.

Her leg wasn't better yet, and the cast was still on it.

Every step she took made her tremble all over from the pain.

Lu Jianye had a bike, and the Deaf Old Lady hadn't ridden one in a while; it was a perfect time to have a seat.

Lu Jianye suddenly accelerated, and the Deaf Old Lady lunged at empty air.

"Lu Jianye, you stinky brat, you stop right there!"

The Deaf Old Lady stopped pretending to be deaf and shouted with all her might.

Lu Jianye laughed: "Old Lady, I don't have time to take you anywhere."

"If you have the ability, go find your good son Yi Zhonghai."

"You must know about the good things in his house."

After saying that, Lu Jianye sped away.

The Deaf Old Lady stomped her feet in anger: "Lu Jianye, you dead childless wretch, I'll let you be smug for a few more days!"

What good things?

What good things could there be in Yi Zhonghai's house!

The Deaf Old Lady's mind was filled with Lu Jianye's words.

After she ate roast duck and returned to the courtyard, seeing Yi Zhonghai again, she suddenly had an idea.

She certainly didn't know about the good things in Yi Zhonghai's house.

But she could give him some "good things" herself.

That'll show him for not supporting her in her old age!

He still wants to live a good life and wants a son to support him?

Bah!

And so.

Taking advantage of noon, while Yi Dama was taking a nap, the Deaf Old Lady snuck in.

She placed a letter inside a pair of Yi Zhonghai's shoes.

Then she left, trembling and unsteady.

The Deaf Old Lady knew Yi Zhonghai's schemes better than anyone.

For so many years, the Deaf Old Lady had always protected him.

Because if something happened to Yi Zhonghai, the Deaf Old Lady would lose a son to support her.

But now...

This became a means for the Deaf Old Lady to take revenge.

Didn't Yi Zhonghai say it himself?

He isn't her son, and he won't support her in her old age.

Then why should she still protect Yi Zhonghai?

He isn't her son, and she isn't his mother—everything makes sense now.

Anyway, besides the things she sent over, there must be other things in Yi Zhonghai's house.

As for what exactly is there, a search will reveal it.

After finishing all this, the Deaf Old Lady went home to sleep.

But what she did was seen by Yan Dama in the front yard.

"The Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai have fallen out; the old woman definitely isn't reconciled."

"She snuck into Yi Zhonghai's house; who knows what bad things she did."

"Yi Zhonghai was so glorious back then; now he has to be just as unlucky."

"What is this? It's easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away!"

Yan Dama wouldn't be kind enough to tell Yi Dama.

For so many years, Yi Zhonghai had taken every advantage in the courtyard.

Their family hadn't been able to take any advantage, so they had suffered great losses!

Now that Yi Zhonghai is unlucky, she couldn't be happier.

By evening, everyone had finished work.
