Chapter 117: Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu Sever Ties

Upon hearing Shazhu's words, the Deaf Old Lady couldn't help but scold:

"This Yan Bu Gui actually schemed to target my eldest grandson!"

"Hmph, once this blows over, just wait—I'll settle the score with him."

Shazhu grinned and said happily:

"Grandma, you should have stepped up long ago."

"You've been keeping to yourself lately."

"You should come to the forefront now."

"Don't let those petty rascals turn our courtyard into a mess."

The Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh and said:

"This Lin Shengli, sigh, I really can't do anything about him as an old lady."

"I've tried talking to him, but he's unresponsive."

"He's always lukewarm toward me too."

"I'm old now and truly don't have the energy to manage so much."

"I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace."

Shazhu became unhappy: "Grandma, you should think more for your eldest grandson."

"He, Lin Shengli, put bluntly, is just an outsider."

"Since he arrived, he's turned our courtyard into chaos."

"Can you swallow this anger?"

"And there's Eldest Uncle—what kind of person is this?"

"He used to treat me well, but after Lin Shengli came, he changed."

"Now he outright ignores me."

"Back then, if I got into trouble, he would definitely have stepped in."

Deaf Old Lady: "Shazhu, you're still not grown up."

"You're not a hero, and you don't know the times."

"I've told you this many times already."

"Don't provoke Eldest Uncle and Lin Shengli, yet you still won't listen."

"Even the Jia family's daughter-in-law told me, and she's told you many times, but you still won't listen."

"Isn't it that you always listen to her?"

"How come you're not listening now?"

Shazhu said impatiently:

"Forget about her."

"Let's talk about my situation now."

"Things are getting urgent—my eyebrows are about to burn."

"Please quickly think of a solution for me."

Deaf Old Lady: "Haven't I already said all this?"

"Turn yourself in."

"Or I could go talk to Yan Bu Gui."

Shazhu exclaimed excitedly: "Exactly, that's exactly the point."

"You, you go now, okay?"

The Deaf Old Lady thought for a moment and said:

"Forget it, with my status, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to approach him proactively."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu's face darkened, leaving him speechless.

The Deaf Old Lady then said: "How about this—I'll first go to the police station to feel things out for you."

"We'll discuss it further afterward."

Shazhu said irritably: "What's there to feel out? This is already urgent."

Deaf Old Lady: "Then just listen to me—turn yourself in."

"I always feel that Yan Bu Gui has someone backing him; this time he's out to get you."

"So even if I lowered myself to go see him, it would probably be useless."

Shazhu impatiently waved his hand and said:

"Then forget it—do whatever you want."

"If you don't want to handle it, fine—I'll deal with it my way."

The Deaf Old Lady snapped: "Shazhu, what kind of attitude is this?"

Shazhu, suppressing his anger, said: "Old lady, I, I'm just like this."

"I'm in trouble now and really anxious."

"But I feel like you're not worried at all."

Deaf Old Lady: "How could I not worry?"

"If I weren't worried, would I come to you for advice?"

Shazhu: "Your idea is worse than not having one."

Deaf Old Lady: "Then do you want to use Qin Huairu's idea?"

Shazhu: "I don't know—go ahead first, I'll think it over."

The Deaf Old Lady let out a sigh, stood up, and walked outside.

Just as she stepped out of Shuzhu Jia's door, Xu Damao came over from Qian Yuan.

"Old lady, where are you heading?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid her, Xu Damao had no choice but to greet the Deaf Old Lady.

The Deaf Old Lady glanced at Xu Damao, let out a heavy nasal sound, and walked away.

"You old fool, what kind of person is this, relying on your age to act superior, making it seem like I'm reluctant to talk to you."

Watching the Deaf Old Lady's retreating back, Xu Damao muttered angrily under his breath.

Turning his head, Xu Damao involuntarily shuddered all over.

He saw Shazhu walking toward him, holding a long bench in one hand.

As he walked, he shouted:

"Xu Damao, what did you just say?"

Hearing Shazhu's voice, the Deaf Old Lady hastily stopped and turned around.

At the same time.

Xu Damao swallowed, shook his head, and said:

"I didn't, I didn't say anything."

Shazhu, holding the long bench in one hand, pointed at Xu Damao and demanded angrily:

"I heard you insult the old lady."

"You actually claim you didn't say anything?"

"You have the guts to say it, but not the guts to admit it?"

Upon hearing Shazhu say that Xu Damao had insulted her, the Deaf Old Lady's face darkened instantly and she walked over.

At the same time.

The commotion also drew the people from the Siheyuan to gather around.

Among them was Lin Shengli.

He had just been at Yi Zhonghai's home.

Xu Damao said weakly: "I didn't curse, Shazhu, don't wrongly accuse me."

"What kind of person is the old lady? I wouldn't dare to scold her."

Shazhu raised the long bench to smash Xu Damao.

Xu Damao hurriedly ran into the crowd.

Shazhu: "Xu Damao, if you've got the guts, come out."

"Today I will definitely teach you a lesson for the old lady."

Lin Shengli stepped forward and asked: "Shazhu, you said Xu Damao insulted the old lady—what did he say?"

Xu Damao: "Right, right, right—what did I say?"

After saying that, Xu Damao hid behind Lin Shengli.

Shazhu frowned, looked at Lin Shengli, and said irritably:

"Lin Shengli, out of respect for Eldest Uncle's face, I won't stoop to your level."

"Just don't get full of yourself, or I won't give anyone any face."

Yi Zhonghai stepped out, pointed at Shazhu, and shouted: "Shazhu, you're being too outrageous!"

"With me here, how dare you treat Shengli like that?"

"I tell you, if you're going to talk like that, from now on we'll go our separate ways."

"From now on, you take your sunny path, I'll walk my narrow bridge."

The Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh, shook her head, walked over, and looked at Yi Zhonghai as she said:

"He's Eldest Uncle; don't stoop to Shazhu's level."

"He, he's in a bad mood today."

Yi Zhonghai gave the Deaf Old Lady a sideways glance and said irritably:

"Just because he's in a bad mood, can he speak to Shengli like that?"

"Does he still have any regard for me as Eldest Uncle in his eyes?"

Lin Shengli pulled Yi Zhonghai aside and said quietly:

"Uncle, please don't be angry."

"Shazhu can't do anything to me, ah."

"Just let him have his momentary verbal satisfaction."

"He will surely regret it."

"Just watch how I'll deal with him."

After saying that, Lin Shengli looked at Shazhu and said:

"Shazhu, I think Xu Damao never insulted the old lady at all."

"It's you who wants to stir up trouble between them."

Xu Damao chimed in: "Right, right, right—I never insulted the old lady at all."

"It's you who wants to sabotage our relationship."
