Chapter 380

In the evening.

Qin Huairu was about to fry peanuts when Yi Zhonghai came back.

"Eldest Uncle, I'm back from a stroll."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and asked, "Has Zhuzi not come back yet?"

Qin Huairu: "No, I also don't know if he'll be able to come back on time."

"This Shazhu, I don't know where he went; we haven't seen him all day."

Yi Zhonghai: "No, didn't you say he went to learn driving?"

Qin Huairu: "Right, but you don't learn driving in just a day."

"When I just went out to buy peanuts, I ran into one of his disciples."

"His disciple said he didn't go to the restaurant today."

"He also said he seemed to have gone out with the restaurant owner."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and asked, "Teacher Ran?"

"Did Zhuzi go out with Teacher Ran?"

Qin Huairu: "I only heard about it."

She certainly wasn't just hearing about it.

She actually saw it with her own eyes.

She even suspected that Shazhu was together with Teacher Ran.

So, she had to leak this news, so that the three uncles in the courtyard could bombard Shazhu.

Yi Zhonghai gave a cold snort and said, "This He Yuzhu is really becoming more and more outrageous."

"Today is such an important day, his Third Aunt was discharged from the hospital, and he had promised to do well."

"But a day has passed and we still haven't seen him."

"I reckon he won't be able to come back tonight to cook."

Qin Huairu: "It's fine, I've already ordered dishes from the restaurant."

"They'll be delivered on time at seven o'clock tonight."

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said, "Nowhere else has food as tasty as Zhuzi's cooking."

Qin Huairu: "There's nothing we can do; Shazhu is probably with some woman and has forgotten to return."

Yi Zhonghai put on a stern face and said, "Just wait until he comes back; I'll teach him a lesson."

Having said that, he walked toward his own home.

Qin Huairu hurriedly called him to stop.

Yi Zhonghai stopped his steps, turned around, and asked:

"What's up?"

Qin Huairu looked around, lowered her voice, and said:

"That Eldest Uncle, when the restaurant delivers the dishes later, just say they were brought by Zhuzi's disciple, and that the dishes were personally fried by Zhuzi, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai asked, "Why?"

Qin Huairu: "I'm not afraid that the Third Aunt and others will say Zhuzi doesn't keep his word, right?"

"If Zhuzi is unkind, we can't be unjust either, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "Huairu, I haven't misjudged you."

Qin Huairu: "I'm just doing my duty."

"Actually, Shazhu is quite a good person."

"It's just that he might have different ideas about major life matters; that's not his fault."

Yi Zhonghai: "Alright, I know what to do."

"It's fine, I'll head back first."

Qin Huairu: "Go on, go back and rest well."

Yi Zhonghai gave an "hmm," turned, and walked toward his home.

Qin Huairu watched his back and revealed a smug smile.

At night.

Everyone gathered around a long dining table.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said:

"Wait a bit, wait a bit before we start eating."

"Let me say a couple of things first."

"Well, although we didn't get to eat the dishes Zhuzi personally fried today,"

"but Zhuzi can still be considered true to his word."

"Right?"

"In fact, he had his disciple bring over the cooked dishes."

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai hesitated a bit, then continued:

"Well, wait a little longer."

"I have another matter."

"As for Zhuzi, he might have been with Teacher Ran today."

Liu Haizhong: "No, that can't be right?"

Yan Bu Gui: "Lao Yi, you, you what are you saying?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Qin Huairu and said, "This is just hearsay."

"When he comes back, we'll interrogate him properly."

"See if he really intends to abandon us, if he's really with Teacher Ran."

Yan Bu Gui: "Absolutely, after we finish drinking, I'll take the lead, and we'll bombard him like last time."

Liu Haizhong: "Right, right, right, we must bombard him thoroughly, this Shazhu is getting more and more outrageous."

Second Aunt: "You, don't jump to conclusions so early; we still don't know what Shazhu is up to."

"We should just wait a bit, wait."

"See what Shazhu is doing today."

"Maybe he's busy with something important."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's enough, let's get started."

"We wish San Da Ma a safe discharge from the hospital."

"Let's all raise our cups and drink, ah."

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai lifted his wine cup.

Seeing this, everyone followed suit and raised their cups.

San Da Ma said emotionally: "Thank you, thank you, everyone."

After taking a sip, San Da Ma set down her cup, looked at Qin Huairu, and said:

"Huairu, I, what should I say?"

"I have three sons and a daughter; sigh, it's hard to bring up."

"Saying it out loud would be a laughingstock."

At the end, San Da Ma began to choke up.

Yan Bu Gui let out a long sigh and said, "Here we go again, here we go again."

San Da Ma: "Don't stop me from speaking."

"They're all scheming."

"Not a single one came to pick me up from the hospital."

"Not one of them came to get me......"

San Da Ma, after saying all that, burst into tears.

Yan Bu Gui sighed and said, "This, he, they're not all busy, are they?"

San Da Ma: "You just insist on saving face and suffer for it."

Yan Bu Gui pursed his lips and said nothing more.

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "San Da Ma, the doctor did say that."

"Your condition, you must not get angry."

Having said that, she glanced at Yan Bu Gui and continued:

"San Da Ye, you really are something."

"Let San Da Ma say whatever she wants."

Yan Bu Gui snorted and said angrily:

"All that talk about feelings is just what you like to hear."

Qin Huairu felt a bit displeased, but still put on a smiling face.

At that moment, Liu Haizhong frowned, spat out the food in his mouth, looked at Yi Zhonghai, and said:

"Wrong, Lao Yi."

Qin Huairu saw this and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

She had already noticed that Liu Haizhong had tasted something off; this dish wasn't from Shazhu's restaurant.

She felt a bit pleased inside.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Lao Yi, Lao Yi, try it, try it."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the vegetables, put them in his mouth, chewed a few times, and said:

"Yeah, what's wrong with it?"

Yan Bu Gui: "I'll be the one to say whether it's right or wrong."

Saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

As soon as he put it in his mouth, he spat it out, immediately placed his chopsticks on the bowl, and said:

"Wrong, this dish is definitely not from Shazhu's restaurant."

Qin Huairu, holding back laughter, said, "Yes, it was brought by his disciple Xiao Zhang."

"He delivered it to our courtyard gate."

Having said that, she looked at Huaihua and asked:

"Right, Huaihua?"

Huaihua blinked and said, "I, I didn't see anyone either."

"Mom, it was you who went to pick it up."

Qin Huairu felt a bit annoyed; Huaihua didn't know how to cooperate with her, even though they had said hello in advance.
