Chapter 184 The Deaf Old Lady's Break
Seeing Sha Zhu's indecisive look, Yan Bugui was in a good mood. He told you not to take the Yan family seriously and to snatch my daughter-in-law away. Today, I am going to get you, Sha Zhu.
"Uncle, can't we discuss this matter again? How about I give you an extra 5 dollars in compensation and let this third clause go?"
Yan Bugui took a deep breath and recited the Three Character Classic in his heart, "Old Yan, Old Yan, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. You can't throw away your face for just 5 dollars."
But that is only 5 dollars after all, which is totally inconsistent with my life philosophy that earning less means losing money.
My goodness, originally Sha Zhu was the only one who was wandering, but now Sha Zhu and Yan Bugui are struggling together. The expressions on their faces have turned dark, and they are just one straw away from agreeing to each other's request.
Time passed slowly, and an old but fierce voice was heard.
"Who is stopping my eldest grandson from finding a granddaughter-in-law? Is it you, Old Man Yan?"
"Well, no, you misunderstood, old lady. We are holding a meeting. You are not feeling well, so we will not disturb you. Jie Cheng, Guang Tian, why don't you send the old lady back to her room?"
"You are such a stingy old man, the old lady is in good health, and you dare to curse me as sick? I will break your dog legs."
The deaf old lady was not someone to be trifled with. She picked up the cane in her hand and started hitting Yan Bugui, especially on the parts that were not covered by the cloth. In just a few hits, Yan Bugui cried out in pain and crawled to the side, never daring to get close to the Eight Immortals Table again.
When Qin Huairu saw that things were changing, he knew that he absolutely could not let the old lady mess up today's events, so he interrupted the deaf old lady's speech.
"Why are you so angry, old lady? It would be terrible if you get hurt."
"Hey, where did this vixen come from? Why do I smell a foul odor? The old lady's eyesight is not very good. Cuilan, come and help me take a closer look at who this is?"
The former middle-aged woman Liu Cuilan has been living with the deaf old lady since her divorce from Yi Zhonghai. With the subsidy from the street office and some manual work she does, and with He Lin occasionally sending some food to the old lady, the basic living standards of the two are still guaranteed.
"Madam, this is Qin Huairu, the daughter-in-law of the old Jia family."
"That's impossible. I remember Dongxu's wife was very obedient. How come she has become involved in other people's dating?"
Qin Huairu knew that it was the deaf old lady who was pointing her finger at him. He did not expect that the old lady, despite her age, was still so clear-headed and could see through his thoughts at a glance.
Since she couldn't step forward, she let her evil mother-in-law rush to the front and shout softly at Jia Zhang behind her. As a result, Jia Zhang was as unmoved as if there was donkey hair in her ears.
Qin Huairu was so angry that he could only walk up to Jia Zhang and whisper a few words into her ear.
"Mom, this is a matter of great importance as to whether Sha Zhu can still support our family in the future. You don't want yourself and your grandson to go hungry every day, do you?"
"Tsk, you little bitch, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Give me 1 dollar and I'll pay for you. For the rest, forget it."
Qin Huairu cursed inwardly, but the old man, who was blinded by money, had no choice but to agree.
Before the troops move, the food and fodder must be sent ahead. With the blessing of one dollar, Jia Zhang drew her sword and mounted her horse, confronting the deaf old lady head-on. Of course, intimidated by the old lady's identity and status, she did not dare to use force, but began a magical verbal attack.
"Who am I thinking? Isn't this the ancestor of our hospital? What era is this? You're still talking about ancestors? I've studied it carefully. This is all feudal superstition and should be banned and sanctioned."
Jia Zhang was smart for once, she knew how to quote from classics and won by her wisdom.
"Isn't this Zhang Cuihua? When you married into the Jia family, I had lived here for many years. If you hadn't said anything, I would have almost forgotten about you. What happened to you sneaking out to buy chicken blood on your wedding day?"
Uh, He Lin's eyes lit up. "Old lady, I'm not sleepy anymore when you say this. I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain."
"You are slandering me, deaf old lady. I have never done such a thing."
"Whether you have done it or not is not up to me to decide. I heard that the father of Zhao Laoliu, who sells chickens in Qianmen Market, is in good health. If you are interested, you can go and ask him. But it's useless. Old Jia has been gone for many years. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
"Don't bring up the shitty things that happened back then. I'm hungry today. I want to go home and eat. I don't want to argue with you guys."
Jia Zhang went home cursing and left Qin Huairu aside. This old woman was really useless and was defeated in just a few words. However, she didn't expect that her mother-in-law had also used the chicken blood trick. Hehe, Old Jia and Jia Dongxu are really father and son, and this has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Yan Bugui, are you still going to stop my eldest grandson from finding a partner? Don't you even look at your own appearance? Is your family worthy enough?"
"Deaf old lady, I am not trying to be hard on Zhuzi today. This is everyone's opinion. And what Zhuzi did was indeed wrong. We are trying to save him."
"Alright, you're just doing this for your family's reputation, right? I'll let Zhuzi apologize to you later. Let's not talk about other things. If you keep insisting, I'll have a detailed discussion with you about what freedom of marriage means."
"Nowadays, parents cannot force their children to get married, let alone you, a mere uncle. Besides, the girl has only been on a blind date with your family, and there is still a long way to go before getting married. Can you decide her marriage?"
"And you, Liu Haizhong, you are not young anymore, but you don't have any brains at all. You are used as a gun by others with just a few nice words. You are really disappointing."
The deaf old lady's few words made the second and third uncles blush and admit their mistakes repeatedly. They no longer dared to stop Sha Zhu's marriage.
Sha Zhu was also a man of insight and he admitted his mistake to the Third Uncle on the spot, and the farce of the whole hospital meeting came to an end.
Thanks to the appearance of the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu was able to turn the danger into safety and finally escape from the crisis.
Although Yan Bugui did not get 5 yuan, he regained his face and let others see that his family is not a soft tofu that can be bullied at will. It can be said that his work was not in vain.
Only Qin Huairu's calculations ended up in vain. This incident also made Sha Zhu more determined to fall in love, and he was afraid that it would be even more difficult for him to support himself in the future.
The thirteen or fourteen yuan Qin Huairu had left was enough to get her family through a month, and they would have to eat steamed buns every day.
The baby is in pain...
