Chapter 13

Jia Zhangshi made a nasal sound, didn't speak.

Because she knew Yi Zhonghai always does what he says.

She worried that if she kept speaking, Yi Zhonghai would really break ties with her family and would not spare her.

If they really offended Yi Zhonghai, their family's future days would not be easy.

Now looking at this situation, they can only wait until later to think of a solution.

Anyway, she must drive Lin Shengli away.

Yi Zhonghai can only be supported by her son Jia Dongxu, and Yi Zhonghai's family property and real estate can only fall into her family.

No one coming would help!

She stood there, hands covering her still somewhat burning cheeks, sometimes glaring at Lin Shengli, sometimes at Yi Zhonghai...

Full face of resentment.

Suddenly.

She got hit on the shoulder with a stick.

Frightened, she jumped up immediately, simultaneously letting out a wail, and cursed:

"*&^#@…… Who? Who dares hit me?"

Turning her head, she saw the Deaf Old Lady holding a cane, staring at her fiercely.

At the same time.

The onlookers also couldn't help but stir, discussing loudly.

Most said she deserved it, such a vicious person should be dealt with by the Siheyuan's ancestor, the Deaf Old Lady.

No way.

Her connections...

Basically she has no connections at all.

Seeing it was the Deaf Old Lady, Jia Zhangshi hurriedly put on a full-face smile and said:

"Old lady, what's this?"

The Deaf Old Lady frowned slightly, coldly asking: "Who were you just scolding?"

"Jia Zhangshi still kept a full-face smile: "No, no."

The Deaf Old Lady asked again: "Not scolding me?"

Jia Zhangshi: "How dare I, I was just scolding myself, I wouldn't dare scold you."

The Deaf Old Lady gave a cold snort, picked up her cane and pointed at her, saying lightly:

"Bang Geng's grandma, don't say I never told you."

"If you dare again to be disrespectful to Zhonghai, or dare to mention those two words 'extinction of line', don't blame me for being impolite."

Jia Zhangshi: "I dare not, I will never dare again."

"He is the Eldest Uncle of the courtyard."

"How could I dare be disrespectful?"

Deaf Old Lady: "Knowing that is good, you being white and plump now, you should thank him."

"Without him, your family would at any time be unable to open the pot."

Jia Zhangshi dared not say more, only kept nodding and saying "yes".

Actually she also knew that over these years Yi Zhonghai indeed had not helped them little.

But, her appetite is too big, she feels this is far from enough.

The Deaf Old Lady looked around the crowd, loudly said: "I have been here all along, I also heard what Zhonghai and his nephew Lin Shengli said."

"I have seen countless people, I can tell at a glance whether someone is human or ghost."

"What I want to tell everyone is, back then I saw Zhonghai's sister Zhong Yan, this child is very good-looking."

"Shengli follows her, too much alike."

"Don't mention Zhonghai, just seeing Shengli for the first time, I dare to assert he is Zhong Yan's biological son."

"I will say one last thing, I like this child Shengli, I lay my words here today."

"From now on, whoever bullies him is equivalent to bullying me."

Yi Zhonghai happily walked over, supported the Deaf Old Lady, walked to Lin Shengli's side, and said:

"Shengli, this is our courtyard's ancestor."

"Uncle has always treated her as his own birth mother."

Lin Shengli nodded and shouted: "Old lady, good."

Having a god's-eye view, Lin Shengli knew this Deaf Old Lady was very remarkable.

In this Siheyuan, her words are like an imperial decree.

Jia Zhangshi, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao etc old deadbeats, vicious petty people, in front of her only have the role of grandchildren.

Having Yi Zhonghai and Guan Yushan as backers, now plus her, who in the future would dare provoke oneself?

Even the ghost-seeing troublemaker Jia Zhangshi, adept at shirking and causing trouble, and the fierce idiot Shazhu, if they want to provoke him they still have to weigh it.

Furthermore.

In a little over two years, a storm will arise.

At that time, even with money and power, one may not be able to pass safely.

One must have someone to back them.

By then the Deaf Old Lady might possibly be a lifesaving charm.

Moreover, she just now showed goodwill toward me; if I don't respond in kind, that would be too unfeeling.

However, you still need to be more careful.

This old lady treats Shazhu as if he were her own grandson.

Shazhu has again been bewitched by Qin Huairu, and has long lost his true nature.

In the future, she might do anything to protect Shazhu.

So, it's best not to get too close to her.

In the original story, she would do anything for Shazhu.

Deaf Old Lady: "Ah, good grandson, I saw your performance just now."

"You're a good kid; from now on your uncle and aunt can enjoy blessings."

Lin Shengli: "Old lady, it's necessary; they are the only relatives I have in this world."

Deaf Old Lady: "Mm‑hmm, truly good."

"First, catch up properly with your uncle and aunt."

Having said that, she turned to the crowd and spoke loudly:

"Alright, everyone, disperse."

"Let the uncle and nephew have a good catch‑up."

Once the Deaf Old Lady had spoken, the crowd quickly dispersed.

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu already standing in the corner, let out a soft breath, and walked into the east wing room.

When Lin Shengli helped Yi Dama into the east wing room and closed the door, Jia Zhangshi suddenly jumped up, pointing at the shut door and cursing silently.

Qin Huairu looked around nervously and said softly:

"Mom, let's go home."

Jia Zhangshi gave no reply.

She was extremely upset, even feeling like killing someone.

She couldn't hear Qin Huairu's words at all.

Hmph, how can that old childless wretch behave like this?

Dong Xu is his disciple.

He has always listened to him and treated him well.

How could he not withstand a nephew he'd just met for the first time?

Qin Huairu let out a long sigh, shook her head, and walked toward the central courtyard.

"Despicable person!"

Moments later, Jia Zhangshi suddenly let out a low growl.

Hearing no echo, she hurriedly turned around—Qin Huairu had already vanished.

"Hmph, where did that damned wretch run off to? Just now I said that little bastard was pretending, and that damned wretch didn't even come out to back me up—wait till I get back, I'll beat her to death."

Muttering, Jia Zhangshi walked off, cursing.

Inside the room.

"Not bad, Section Chief Chen has tidied things up quite neatly."

"However, this is too shabby."

"There's quite a lot we need to add."

Yi Zhonghai looked around the room, took out paper and pen, and said while noting down, "Sofa, coffee table, tea set, bookshelf, chairs, clock, radio…"

At that moment.

Yi Dama came out of the bedroom and took up the conversation:

"There's also the bed; the one inside is too small—I'd say it's about 1.2 meters."

"We need to buy a big bed, 1.8 meters."

"And there's the wardrobe—it's too old, we need to buy a new one."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Alright, we still need a 1.8‑meter bed and a wardrobe."

Having said that, he looked up at Yi Dama and said, "Let's also buy a bicycle—Shengli is at the age where he should start looking for a partner."
