Chapter 272

It's just roast duck.

Buy it for her!

The old lady ate two meals tonight, regained her strength, and can now walk with her cane.

She shakily made her way to Sha Zhuzi's door.

Sha Zhuzi hadn't eaten; he hadn't had dinner for several nights.

It wasn't for any other reason.

He had no money left, and no grain either.

Qin Huairu had borrowed all the money, and Xiao Huaihua and the other child had taken the grain.

He's a grown man; he won't starve to death even if he skips meals.

But Qin Huairu has it hard; she's alone with two children, and they must eat.

Sha Zhuzi thought his Such Thoughts were truly great.

Seeing the deaf old lady, Sha Zhuzi said grumpily, "What do you want? I have no food for you."

"I won't support you in your old age either; get out now."

Now that he saw the deaf old lady, Sha Zhuzi felt only annoyance.

Before, she had treated him like a fool.

Not long ago, before she was taken away, she even made him take the blame for her!

Is that something a human being would do?

Sha Zhuzi hated the deaf old lady and hated himself for being played like an idiot.

The deaf old lady didn't leave; instead, she came inside.

"Sha Zhuzi, Grandma is dying; I won't live much longer."

The wretched old woman spoke with grievance, as if she were there to bid Sha Zhuzi farewell.

Now she deeply regretted it; if she had known Sha Zhuzi couldn't be relied on, she should have chosen Lu Jianye to support her in her old age.

If Lu Jianye hadn't divorced, he would surely be easy to manipulate now.

The deaf old lady decided that before she died, she wouldn't let Sha Zhuzi have a good time.

No matter what.

4.5 Over all these years, the deaf old lady had invested no small amount of money in Sha Zhuzi.

Sha Zhuzi stood stunned for a moment.

"What grandma?"

"I don't have a grandma like you; go ruin someone else."

Sha Zhuzi isn't a fool.

He is actually a ruthless person too.

If he weren't ruthless, could he have ignored his own sister, He Yushui?

The deaf old lady sighed and said, "Sha Zhuzi, I'm about to go too, but before I die, there are some things I must make clear to you."

"This is the letter your father left for you back then; this is the proof to claim it."

"Back then, intercepting He Great Qing's letter and He Great Qing's money was Yi Zhonghai's idea."

"He was afraid he couldn't deal with you alone, so he made me join in."

"If you two had that money back then, you wouldn't have needed anyone's charity."

The deaf old lady took out a cloth bundle, placed it on the table, and then left.

Sha Zhuzi simply didn't believe it.

The deaf old lady could even report Yi Zhonghai.

She was dying; she wanted to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai, and she wouldn't hesitate to do such a thing.

Sha Zhuzi was about to burn that cloth bundle right then.

But as he grabbed the bundle, he hesitated.

What if it's true?

168. The deaf old lady makes a desperate last stand! Yi Zhonghai is completely panicked!

When Yi Zhonghai returned from work, Yi Dama complained to him.

"The deaf old lady is ungrateful!"

"You said she only had a few days left to live; I think she won't die anytime soon!"

"I brought her food, and she actually scolded me."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Yi Dama even regretted it; she shouldn't have gone to bring her food in the first place.

Anyway, she didn't want the deaf old lady's house.

Let Qin Huairu and the Second Old Lady fight over it.

Yi Zhonghai's brows furrowed even deeper.

The old lady saw through his intentions and gave him no face at all.

"Then forget it; don't bother with her anymore."

"When she finally can't go on, we can act then; it won't be too late."

Yi Zhonghai felt the deaf old lady was no longer a five-guarantee household.

No one would manage her funeral either.

By then, I'll spend a bit of money, buy a coffin, hold a funeral, and that reputation will come.

Yi Dama said again, "By the way, I just saw it; the Deaf Old Lady went to find Sha Zhu."

"Sha Zhu got off work early today; I don't know what they said."

"When the Deaf Old Lady came out, she looked especially happy, but Sha Zhu never came out."

Originally, she wanted to go over and check on Sha Zhu, but she had to cook, so it got delayed.

Yi Zhonghai's right eyelid twitched several times.

In fact, all day long, his right eyelid had been twitching.

Hearing his spouse say this, a sudden ominous premonition arose in his heart.

But thinking it over, he felt it was impossible.

How could that be?

Back then, the Deaf Old Lady had not a shred of evidence.

Even if she went to find Sha Zhu, it would only be sowing discord.

Besides, Sha Zhu still owes me money.

If he wanted to have any ideas, he'd have to weigh the consequences.

During work today, Yi Zhonghai already found a chance to speak with Sha Zhu.

He told him to stay away from Qin Huairu; if there's an opportunity later, Yi Zhonghai would definitely introduce him to a partner.

Sha Zhu agreed happily at the time.

In truth, Yi Zhonghai didn't actually want to introduce a partner to Sha Zhu because it was really hard to find one.

Finding a Miss, Sha Zhu simply wasn't good enough for her.

Qin Huairu and Xu Damao wouldn't let Sha Zhu's matchmaking succeed.

If he found a widow, Sha Zhu would definitely be unwilling.

But that foolish thing that is Sha Zhu, he just happens to fancy a widow like Qin Huairu.

Sigh...

Yi Zhonghai stopped thinking; he was tired after a whole day.

With the current job, he is just a temporary worker, no longer the former eighth-level fitter, so it's not as easy as before.

Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu return long ago, yet he hadn't come to find her.

She could hardly hold back and went directly to find Sha Zhu.

"Sha Zhuzi, sister has something to tell you," Qin Huairu said happily.
