Chapter 462

Yi Zhonghai praised him a few more times, and Shazhu felt a bit carried away.

He returned to the Sihe Academy.

He Yushui ran to the front gate to welcome Shazhu.

"Brother, I want to eat a tomato!"

He Yushui looked at Shazhu with longing eyes.

Shazhu was embarrassed.

He had brought one back, but he had just given it to Yi Zhonghai.

"Yushui, it's all Brother's fault. I forgot when I came back. Brother promises you, I'll definitely bring one back for you tomorrow!"

Shazhu was helpless and could only coax He Yushui well.

After saying all the nice things he could, He Yushui finally smiled again.

Sigh!

Shazhu sighed.

The second evening.

Shazhu returned, and when he reached a place not far from the courtyard house, before he saw Yi Zhonghai, he saw He Yushui and Niuniu coming to meet him.

He Yushui was a few years older than Niuniu, but they were both children after all.

It was normal for them to play together.

Niuniu had a tomato in her hand.

Shazhu recognized it at a glance; it was grown by Wan Ping'an. It must have been given to her by Sun Tiezhu, who had left the six-acre plot before him.

"Brother, did you bring me a tomato?"

He Yushui's eyes were full of longing.

"I did. How could Brother forget what I promised you?"

Shazhu took out the tomatoes.

He Yushui saw them at a glance; there were two tomatoes.

"Great, one for me and one for Dad!"

He Yushui took both tomatoes away.

Shazhu was embarrassed. He had brought two tomatoes back—one for his sister and one for the Old Lady.

He had just wanted to ask for one back.

He Yushui, with Niuniu, ran toward the courtyard house with laughter.

It was too late to stop her.

"Shazhu?"

Shazhu continued to walk forward and soon met Yi Zhonghai at the intersection.

"First Elder, I, I, sigh!"

"I brought two tomatoes back just now, but my sister thought they were both for her and ran off with them."

Shazhu scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.

"Hi, I thought it was something big?"

"It's fine, bring one for the Old Lady tomorrow."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then smiled indifferently, comforting Shazhu instead, telling him not to take it to heart.

"First Elder, you are truly a good person. I thought you would blame me!"

Shazhu smiled happily.

"Silly child, why would I blame you?"

"It's getting late, hurry home!"

Yi Zhonghai patted Shazhu on the shoulder.

Shazhu left happily.

Just as he left.

Yi Zhonghai's expression turned gloomy.

"He Yushui is a girl; she is destined to marry. She is like spilled water; why should she compete with the Old Lady?"

Yi Zhonghai's indifference just now was all an act.

In front of Shazhu, he had to act like a good person.

In reality, he was very angry.

He Yushui was a child, but that didn't stop Yi Zhonghai from hating her.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the Sihe Academy and told the Deaf Old Lady. The Deaf Old Lady also hated He Yushui, but the two had no way to deal with her.

He Yushui was still a child; could they lay a hand on her?

Of course not!

For the next half month, Shazhu often brought double portions home.

One portion was for He Yushui or He Daqing.

The other portion was fixed—for the Deaf Old Lady.

"Shazhu, wait a moment."

When he got off work.

Shazhu brought a pumpkin home and didn't bring any tomatoes.

Cai Quanwu called Shazhu over.

"Uncle Cai, is something the matter?"

Shazhu was a bit surprised.

"You've been bringing food home every day lately. If it's for yourself or your family, it's fine; Ping'an is a generous person."

"However, I must remind you: you must not resell or transfer it."

"If Ping'an finds out, he won't let you off."

"Alright, you go!"

"Think carefully about what I said!"

Cai Quanwu had a good relationship with Shazhu.

He discovered that Shazhu might have a situation and reminded him.

If Wan Ping'an found out, it would be too late to stop!

He and Shazhu didn't know that Wan Ping'an had long been watching Shazhu, and Yan Jiecheng reported to Wan Ping'an every day, recording everything in detail.

"I've been watching Shazhu every time you talk to him. His expression isn't right; there's definitely something going on!"

Shazhu left.

When Cai Quanwu returned, Han Dahe blurted out.

"Sigh, I guessed it too."

"I hope my warning works."

"Otherwise, once Ping'an finds out, he won't have a good end."

Cai Quanwu sighed.

He could only do so much; after all, he was a man following Wan Ping'an, and even if he had a good impression of Shazhu, he couldn't betray Wan Ping'an.

Han Dahe nodded.

He and Cai Quanwu talking about Shazhu was actually a reminder to Cai Quanwu not to play on the edge and not to betray Wan Ping'an's trust!

In his view, Shazhu was just a big fool.

Wan Ping'an could cultivate super golden rice and would surely rise to prominence. If he focused on following Wan Ping'an, he would surely have a good life in the future.

Shazhu was playing with fire!

Sihe Academy.

Yan Jiecheng went to find Wan Ping'an again.

"Brother Ping'an, Shazhu has changed his routine."

"He used to bring tomatoes back, but today he brought a big pumpkin, and he gave it to Yi Zhonghai. I saw it clearly."

Yan Jiecheng felt very strange.

Why hadn't Wan Ping'an acted against Shazhu yet?
