Chapter 852

He Yushui said coquettishly: "Sister Yulan, you're bullying me too."

Ever since she started working, He Yushui had begun living independently.

She didn't have to worry about food or drink or money, and her personality had become lively and cheerful.

Cao Weiguo poured a cup of tea, sat down, and asked casually:

"How is your brother doing with that girl? Do you think the two of them have a chance?"

He Yushui curled her lips and said: "I don't think they have a chance!"

Cao Weiguo said: "No chance? I just saw that girl come out of your brother's room."

He Yushui sneered: "That woman didn't come to see my brother for romance; she came over to borrow money."

"I listened in from outside; that woman's younger brother gambled and lost money."

"The creditor came to the door to collect the debt, and that woman had no choice but to come to my brother to borrow money."

"I don't think that woman has her eyes on my brother; she has her eyes on my brother's money."

Cao Weiguo took a sip of tea, feeling inexplicably happy.

That unlucky Shazhu!

He truly deserves it!

Cao Weiguo smiled: "A Qin Huairu inside the courtyard, a Jin Lian outside the courtyard—your brother is quite popular with women!"

He Yushui glared in anger: "Popular with women my foot, he's just a sucker!"

Following that, He Yushui complained at great length.

Speaking of her own brother Shazhu, she was also full of helplessness.

She had also warned Shazhu, telling him not to be so devoted to Jin Lian.

But Shazhu was blinded by lust; he wouldn't listen to a single word and even lectured her.

This made her so angry that she wished she could give her silly brother a few slaps.

He Yushui stayed at the Cao house until ten o'clock before leaving, with Cao Weiguo wearing a look of schadenfreude.

From He Yushui's words, Cao Weiguo was certain that Shazhu's romantic interest was a "younger-brother-supporting demon."

Regardless of the girl's character, the attribute of being a "younger-brother-supporting demon" was enough to give Shazhu a hard time.

"Ding! Monthly check-in successful!"

"Obtained 10 cubic meters of storage space!"

Just as Cao Weiguo was feeling happy, the heavenly sound rang out abruptly.

This made Cao Weiguo's eyes light up, and his heart was even happier.

10 cubic meters of storage space was a priceless treasure.

The system's initial storage space was 10 cubic meters; adding this 10 cubic meters,

the existing storage space had already reached 20 cubic meters.

What kind of concept was this?

The internal volume of a 20-foot container is 5.69x2.13x2.18 meters, with a volume of 24-26 cubic meters.

The storage space he possessed now was already close to a 20-foot container.

Moreover, this storage space was carried with him and time stood still within it.

Its value was simply immeasurable.

While Cao Weiguo was overjoyed, the Deaf Old Lady was frowning in distress.

Yi Zhonghai sat beside her, rambling on and on, bad-mouthing Shazhu incessantly.

"That girl is not a good person!"

"On the surface, she is obedient and gentle; in reality, she is insatiably greedy!"

"Look at how long it's been!"

"How much money has she taken from Zhuzi's hands?"

"Five yuan today, ten yuan tomorrow... it's endless!"

"A mother riddled with illness, a younger brother addicted to gambling!"

"Those are two bottomless pits that can never be filled!"

"Since Zhuzi started seeing that girl, how many meals has he cooked for you?"

"Zhuzi is being gripped tightly by that girl; that's plain for all to see!"

"If Zhuzi marries her, his second half of life will be ruined!"

"And you can stop counting on Zhuzi to provide for your old age!"

The Deaf Old Lady was also regretting her actions at this moment!

She shouldn't have been matchmaking for Shazhu!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited such a troublemaker!

At first, she saw that Jin Lian was pretty and had a sweet mouth, and she quite liked her.

But as the days passed, this Jin Lian revealed her true nature.

On one hand, she treated Shazhu like an ox or a horse, making him work all day.

On the other hand, she treated Shazhu like a sucker, constantly emptying his pockets.

Actually, the Deaf Old Lady didn't care much about these things.

The key was that Shazhu was still so infatuated with Jin Lian.

He spent all day trying to please this romantic interest, forgetting about her, his grandmother.

She hadn't eaten a single dish of Shazhu's cooking in over ten days!

If things went on like this, what hope was there for her old age?

The Deaf Old Lady sighed: "Zhonghai! I know you have many devious ideas; tell me, what should we do!"

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed, knowing that the Deaf Old Lady had been completely hoodwinked by him.

He did not hide or hold back, and impatiently blurted out the rotten idea he had been racking his brains over:

"Old Lady! That girl Jin Lian is willing to see Zhuzi only because she has her eyes on his money, and Zhuzi is simple-minded."

"As long as she can't get money from Zhuzi, she will leave him on her own."

"So, I want you to fake an illness, and then I'll take the opportunity to make Zhuzi pay for your medical treatment."

"We'll take all of Zhuzi's money first, and pull the rug out from under that girl."

"If that girl can't get money from Zhuzi, she definitely won't give him a good look."

"At that time, the two of us will do some ideological work on Zhuzi and let him see the girl's ugly true nature."

"Let Zhuzi find his way back and give up the idea of marrying that girl."

The Deaf Old Lady sighed weakly: "Sigh! I'm out of ideas now; let's do as you say."

That very evening, the Deaf Old Lady began to fake an illness, clutching her head and wailing "ouch, ouch."

The wailing was eerie and miserable, making people's hearts crawl.

The Liu Haizhong family was the first to run into the Deaf Old Lady's room.

They were shocked to see the Deaf Old Lady clutching her head and wailing.

They hurriedly had their two sons call Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu over.

Yi Zhonghai put on a show and hurriedly took the Deaf Old Lady to the hospital.

Shazhu, that good grandson, naturally followed along.

After arriving at the hospital, the Deaf Old Lady clutched her head and faked the illness.

This kept the doctors busy for half a day, but they couldn't find any illness.

In the end, they could only prescribe some painkillers and sedatives...

After bringing the Deaf Old Lady home, Yi Zhonghai began to hoodwink Shazhu into paying.

If the hospital couldn't find the illness, then they would invite other physicians.

Filial piety is the most important of all virtues!

In any case, they couldn't let the Old Lady suffer from the torment of illness.

Even if it meant going bankrupt, they wouldn't hesitate!

Yi Zhonghai set an example and took out eighty-eight yuan all at once.

This was his savings and this month's wages. ===== CHAPTER 854 =====
