Chapter 331

First Aunt does not approve of Yi Zhonghai's approach.

She doesn't like Jia Zhangshi.

Nor does she approve of Yi Zhonghai's approach.

But they are people who grew up in the old society; entering the new society, in the short term, many concepts cannot be changed, such as men being superior to women.

In the Sihe Academy.

Except for the special Jia family, most families believe men are superior to women.

Moreover, she didn't give birth to a child for Yi Zhonghai, which makes her feel very guilty, making her feel even more humble.

Whatever Yi Zhonghai decides, she at most offers suggestions and never opposes him. No matter how uncomfortable she feels inside, she still has to put on a smiling face.

"What do you know?"

Yi Zhonghai is very annoyed.

While applying medicine, the Deaf Old Lady pushes the door and enters.

"Does it hurt?"

"Have you learned your lesson?"

The Deaf Old Lady looks at Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Lady, I've been beaten so miserably."

Yi Zhonghai smiles bitterly.

"Beaten miserably, beaten painfully—only then can you learn your lesson."

"You've been getting more and more impulsive lately, being too hasty with Shazhu. Remember today's lesson, take it slow, you must boil the frog in warm water!"

The Deaf Old Lady sighs.

She is very disappointed in Yi Zhonghai, but she has no choice; Yi Zhonghai is her only option.

"Zhonghai, what do you think of Shazhu?"

The Deaf Old Lady changes the subject.

"Why do you ask that?"

Yi Zhonghai is a bit strange.

"Don't you think Shazhu is more suitable to provide for you in your old age than Jia Dongxu?"

"Jia Dongxu has been spoiled by Jia Zhangshi; his personality is cowardly, and he is lazy. He has inherited all the bad habits of Jia Zhangshi."

"Besides, Jia Zhangshi is about the same age as you."

"Do you think when you are old, Jia Zhangshi will allow Jia Dongxu to provide for you?"

The Deaf Old Lady favors Shazhu.

The two are very tacit; neither mentions He Daqing.

They had long ago arranged He Daqing's path, just waiting for the right time to expel He Daqing, and Shazhu would soon be all alone.

"Shazhu is not suitable."

"His brain isn't as flexible as Dongxu's."

"I'm preparing to let him be a substitute. As long as Jia Dongxu doesn't have any problems, I won't need to worry too much about my old age."

Yi Zhonghai doesn't hide it.

The Deaf Old Lady is a grasshopper on the same rope as him, and First Aunt is obedient to him and will not betray him, let alone sell him out.

"Sigh, as long as you've thought it through clearly."

The Deaf Old Lady sighs.

She still thinks Shazhu is more suitable. Shazhu is a cook; even if he hasn't finished his apprenticeship, the dishes he makes are quite good. Can Jia Dongxu cook?

In the same middle courtyard.

He Daqing goes out and buys a pound of pork.

Soon he stir-fries a plate, the meat fragrance is pungent, making people unable to help but drool.

"Yushui, come over and eat meat."

He Daqing calls He Yushui.

Shazhu sits at the table, grabs his chopsticks, and is about to eat meat.

Slap!

He Daqing hits the back of his hand with a chopstick.

"Who told you to eat meat?"

He Daqing asks coldly.

"I..."

Shazhu understands.

He Daqing is still angry.

Even Shazhu himself is a bit confused.

Just now, why did he give a pig leg to Jia Zhangshi?

Why did he listen to Yi Zhonghai?

He remembers: Yi Zhonghai praised him for being a good child, said he had compassion, said he had love, and he was so flattered at the time that he agreed.

"Yushui, eat meat!"

He Daqing adds meat to He Yushui's bowl.

Shazhu can only swallow his saliva, eat cornmeal buns, and drink cornmeal porridge, without even a little bit of pickled vegetables.

He Daqing eats very quickly.

Yushui doesn't eat slowly either.

A plate of meat is soon eaten up.

"I'm going out for a while."

"Stay home and watch your sister, do you hear me?"

He Daqing reprimands Shazhu.

After speaking, he leaves impatiently.

Sigh!

Shazhu sighs.

"Brother, eat some meat."

He Yushui stretches out her right hand, holding a piece of stir-fried meat in her palm.

Shazhu's eyes instantly blur.

"Brother, why aren't you eating?"

He Yushui is very strange.

"Good sister, brother will eat."

"You are the best sister brother has, brother will definitely take good care of you for a lifetime; otherwise, let brother be a bachelor for a lifetime."

Shazhu is moved.

He didn't expect He Yushui to hide a piece of meat for him.

"Brother, I'm going to do my homework, can you teach me?"

He Yushui looks at Shazhu with expectant eyes.

Uh!

Shazhu is embarrassed.

He Yushui is very smart and her grades are excellent.

And him?

If his grades were good, He Daqing wouldn't have arranged for him to learn cooking.

His grades are a mess, he gets a headache as soon as he looks at a book, and if he were to tutor He Yushui, once they sat down, it wouldn't be certain who was tutoring whom!

"Yushui, be good, go do your homework, brother is feeling a bit unwell, brother needs to lie down for a while!"

Shazhu can only lie.

He can't say he doesn't know how, right?

Too embarrassing!

He Yushui doesn't think much of it; she is still a child.
