Chapter 910: Filial Piety
Courtyard
Yi Zhonghai and the First Aunt sat in the room sighing.
Shazhu complained with a mournful face on the side:
"First Uncle! First Aunt! I'm really too difficult!"
"Jin Lian's mom put down the word that she won't agree to the marriage without a bride price."
"I'm already thirty, and I've achieved nothing!"
"I can't even marry a wife; I really have no face to live in this world!"
The First Aunt comforted him softly: "Zhuzi, stop saying such discouraging words. You have excellent cooking skills; work steadily, and your life will definitely get better."
Yi Zhonghai held his tea mug and said earnestly: "Zhuzi! Don't be unhappy when I say something."
Shazhu's eyes widened: "First Uncle! What do you mean by that? What's wrong with Jin Lian?"
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Jin Lian is a beautiful girl with a good job. It's normal for you to like her, but her family has the old and the young. The old one is a medicine jar, and the young one is not doing his proper job. That is a bottomless pit that can never be filled."
is a bottomless pit that can never be filled."
Shazhu said in a muffled voice: "After Jin Lian marries me, she will be a member of the He family, and she will have nothing to do with the Jin family. I'll help them if I want to, and if I don't want to, can they rob me?"
"
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai shook his head secretly; Shazhu didn't listen to his words at all!
Shazhu hesitated and said: "First Uncle, I have always treated you like my own father. Can you help me again, lend me a sum of money to marry Jin Lian back? In the future, our couple will show filial piety to you together and take care of you until the end."
you in your old age and see you to your final rest."
Yi Zhonghai thought, once you marry a wife, will you still remember me, this old man?
Besides, will your wife agree? Will your mother-in-law agree? Will your brother-in-law agree?
Forget it!
Borrow money to marry a wife?
No way!
Yi Zhonghai looked worried: "Zhuzi! Uncle wants to help you too, but you know the situation of the Deaf Old Lady. Now all my savings have been used to supplement the Deaf Old Lady's medical expenses."
The Deaf Old Lady shouted about having a headache all day, and Yi Zhonghai would occasionally carry the old lady out to "seek medical advice," acting very realistically.
Through this "bitter meat trick," Yi Zhonghai not only wanted to get a good reputation as a "filial son and grandson," but mainly wanted to trap Shazhu, this good son, and cut off Shazhu's source of wealth so he couldn't marry Jin Lian.
Shazhu didn't know the inside story and hesitated repeatedly: "The old lady is old. Otherwise, let's stop treating this illness."
"What!"
"Zhuzi! How can you say such things!"
"The old lady treats you better than her own grandson; you can't be heartless!"
Shazhu stiffened his neck: "I'm not heartless, but the old lady's illness is too strange. I've spent so much money and found so many doctors, and there's still no improvement. Instead of throwing money away like this, it's better to buy more good things to show filial piety to the old lady and let her spend her later years happily."
Yi Zhonghai smashed his tea mug on the table: "Shut up! Zhuzi! I'll put it this way! I, Yi Zhonghai, will never be an unfilial and unrighteous bastard! I don't care what you think; I will cure the old lady's illness even if I have to smash the pot and sell the iron; I can't let her suffer from the pain of illness! You go! I'm tired and want to rest!"
Yi Zhonghai spoke righteously, as if he were the greatest filial son in the world.
This made Shazhu feel ashamed for a while, and he fled from Yi Zhonghai's house in a sorry state.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Shazhu's back, full of disappointment; this was not faked, but from the heart.
The Deaf Old Lady treats Shazhu like her own grandson!
If Shazhu can treat the Deaf Old Lady like this today, he can treat him like this in the future!
"I really didn't expect Zhuzi to have such thoughts!"
"Does it really respond to that saying, there is no filial son before the long-term sick bed?"
The First Aunt, who didn't know the truth, was also full of disappointment and sighed.
The First Aunt usually is responsible for taking care of the Deaf Old Lady's daily life.
Thinking that the Deaf Old Lady is so old and still has to suffer from illness, she also felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Therefore, during this period, she took even better care of the Deaf Old Lady.
She has a sincere filial piety for the Deaf Old Lady.
So seeing Shazhu actually being so "unfilial," she couldn't help but feel disappointed and angry.
In this courtyard, who doesn't know that the Deaf Old Lady treats Shazhu the best!
But in the end, Shazhu actually doesn't want to treat the old lady's illness?
No matter how nicely Shazhu says his reasons, the matter is just like this.
The root cause is not that Shazhu is reluctant to spend money!
Yi Zhonghai and the First Aunt were disappointed and heartbroken in the room.
Shazhu stood in the courtyard, dejected, looking up at the night sky.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, there was an indescribable desolation in his heart.
Recalling his life: losing his parents as a teenager, surrounding the stove after growing up, working hard but being harmed by villains, lonely at nearly thirty...
"Weiguo is back!"
Just when Shazhu was full of feelings, the Third Uncle's voice suddenly sounded.
Shazhu walked a few steps and saw the Third Uncle talking to Cao Weiguo.
The Third Uncle said with envy: "Weiguo! Where did you go to drink again? You have dinner parties every day!"
Cao Weiguo, who was full of alcohol, pushed his bicycle: "These are all unavoidable social engagements! Work matters! There's no way to avoid it! Drinking until my head is dizzy, it's really uncomfortable."
The Third Uncle said with concern: "Then you must pay attention to your health; you can't drink until your intestines and stomach are ruined. If there are social engagements in the future, if it doesn't work, call my Jiecheng and let him block the wine for you."
"Thanks for the concern, Third Uncle. Let's talk about this later. My head hurts so much now, so I won't chat more here. You should also rest early. Staying up late is the same as drinking; both are bad for your health."
Cao Weiguo said a few words with a smile, pushed his bicycle, and left quickly.
The Third Uncle stared at the net bag on Cao Weiguo's bicycle handle, very greedy.
Although the things in the net bag were wrapped in oil paper, he smelled the taste of sauce meat and roast duck!
He braved the cold wind to get close to Cao Weiguo, wasn't it just to get some oil and water from Cao Weiguo.
It's just that this Cao Weiguo is slippery and doesn't give any face.
"Still a cadre, doesn't understand anything!"
"Only caring about eating and drinking all day, not knowing how to show filial piety to elders!"
"Eating and drinking all day after becoming an official! Something will happen sooner or later!"
The Third Uncle turned back to the room angrily, muttering bad words in his mouth.
Wishing Cao Weiguo would be arrested tomorrow, but he didn't know what good this would do for him?
Shazhu saw Cao Weiguo walking over, gritted his teeth, and went up: "Cao Weiguo, I have something to tell you!"
Cao Weiguo ignored him and pushed his bicycle forward. ===== CHAPTER 912 =====
