Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

The deaf woman’s house in the backyard.

Sitting around the eight-immortals table in the main hall were the deaf old woman, Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Qin Huairu.

It was Qin Huairu's first time attending a meeting. She had to serve tea and water to these people even with a big belly. She felt so wronged, but she didn't dare show it on her face and just kept smiling.

Yi Zhonghai: "Dongxu... hasn't come back yet?"

Deaf woman: "That child is too honest. It doesn't matter whether he comes back or not. Some things... it's best... not to involve him. It can easily ruin things."

Jia Zhang: "Old lady...are you really going to let it go like this? I can't swallow this."

The deaf woman said, "For now... you have to swallow it even if you can't. Haizhong, you were once a gangster. Zhonghai is not as good as you in this respect. You also saw the look in the eyes of the Zhou family beast today. He must have murderous intentions."

Liu Haizhong: "Well, he has killed people..."

Qin Huairu's eyes widened: "No...no...It's impossible. How old is he?"

The deaf woman shook her head: "Huai Ru, everyone says you have many tricks, but you haven't seen the world. Why do you think people in the courtyard are afraid of him? You don't think the 'Yanhe Gang' is just playing house, do you? Madam, let me tell you, his 'Yanhe Gang' is no different from a warlord. If they want someone to die... it's just a matter of talking."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "Actually... we are one step behind."

Jia Zhang: "What do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai: "I never thought Zhou Zheng would stand up for Sha Zhu. Logically speaking, Sha Zhu had forced Zhou Zheng back then. Although Zhou Zheng was dating Yu Shui, he never treated Sha Zhu well. I thought Zhou Zheng didn't care about Sha Zhu."

Qin Huairu was puzzled: "Uncle, I don't understand one thing. Shazhu is nothing special, right? Why do we have to plot against him?"

The deaf woman gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, this is what the He family owed us. Back then... forget it, I won't say more..."

Yi Zhonghai added: "The old lady is right. This is the debt owed by the He family. He has to pay it back. Just remember this."

Jia Zhang: "This damn Zhou family beast, Zhou Yunhai was not a good person when he was alive, and now it's his son's turn..."

Deaf woman: "Zhou Zheng... Actually, Zhou Zheng is nothing to be afraid of."

"Do tigers even take naps?"

"Besides, do you think the Riverside Gang is so clean?"

Liu Haizhong: "When I was in the 'Three Gold Club', I found out... these gangs are actually doing head-losing business, without exception. Although his 'Yanhe Gang' acts in the name of martyrs' relatives, it is just 'selling dog meat under the guise of sheep'."

Yi Zhonghai: "But you have to admit one thing. Even if you report them, they will be suppressed very quickly. It's not like we haven't tried it over the years. Which time did it succeed? This is also the real reason why I dare not touch the Zhou family kid again."

Deaf woman: "It's not that complicated... His gang has been very successful infiltrating Dongcheng District over the years. There is no way to bring him down through official channels."

"But 'Heaven' is not just that one faction."

"There is the moon, there is the sun, and there are stars."

"No one wants to see such a group dominate alone..."

"It's just not the right time now."

Jia Zhang: "Old lady, I don't understand why you are talking about the stars and the moon. Just tell me what to do. I will listen to you."

The deaf woman was silent for a while: "Just wait and see what happens, and wait for the wind to come."

Jia Zhang: “Hmm…”

"Is Dongxu really Brother Yi's child?"

The deaf woman said, "It's probably true. Although the Zhou family beasts are hateful, they make it sound very convincing."

"Besides, back then... when Jia Fugui forced me to marry you to him, I made him drink a bowl of soup."

"If that soup had any effect, you wouldn't have been able to get pregnant."

"so……"

"It is very likely that Dongxu is the child you and Xiaoyi had when you were fooling around."

Yi Zhonghai: "Doesn't that mean that I am not extinct?"

"I am worthy of the old Yi family."

Deaf woman: "That's right, so you have to treat Cuihua well..."

"Gui Fen has been very good to me over the years. She is your first wife, and Cui Hua is your second wife. You can't favor one over the other."

Qin Huairu was a little nervous.

'Is this what I'm supposed to be able to listen to?'

'It seems like I have fallen into a den of thieves. What should I do?'

The deaf woman said: "Okay, Xiaoyi, go home and get some vegetables. Cuihua will be in charge of cooking. Let's eat here today."

Yi Zhonghai stood up: "Yes."

Jia Zhang: "Huai Ru, please go back. Don't let my grandson starve."

She said as she got up and went to the kitchen.

Qin Huairu also walked out of the room slowly and went to the central courtyard.

At this time, the only people left in the room were the deaf woman and Liu Haizhong.

"Hai Zhong, find a few people and shoot him secretly. Otherwise, I will not be able to swallow this anger."

Liu Haizhong looked embarrassed.

"Old lady, it's no use firing two shots."

"Instead, we lost several people."

"I don't know what kind of evil skills Xiao Zhou has practiced. He is just like the legendary 'Heaven and Earth Society', invulnerable to swords and guns."

"It's not like we haven't had a fight with someone in the past few years..."

"The gain outweighs the loss."

The deaf woman hit the ground hard with her cane.

Dang Dang Dang!

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I tell you to collapse, then collapse. If you can't kill him, I'll see a spark."

"Otherwise, I really can't swallow this breath."

Liu Haizhong said helplessly: "Well, I'll do whatever you say. Isn't that enough?"

"But this life-saving money..."

The deaf woman snorted softly, "Haizhong, Madam, when have I ever asked you to do anything? Go and do it first, and I'll give you the money later."

……

East Cross Courtyard.

With Yang Xiaoman joining the kitchen, He Yuzhu cooks much faster.

After a while, a table full of delicious food was served.

Yang Xiaoman exclaimed in amazement: "It's so rich..."

"Since the famine began, I have never seen anyone having such a sumptuous meal."

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "Ahaha, sister-in-law, you are wrong. Who would eat like this all day long? I saw you coming in today, so I have to treat you well."

Tian Xinyue covered her mouth and laughed.

"Han Qing is really interesting, fooling Sister Xiaoman like this."

"Forget it, I'll get used to it after a few days."

Yang Xiaoman also appreciated the courtesy and showed a friendly smile on her face.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

"These dishes are cooked by my sister-in-law. You can also try her cooking skills."

He Yushui distributed beer to everyone.

He also commented: "Sister-in-law Xiaoman's cooking is much better than my brother's. It makes me hungry just by looking at it."

He Yuzhu followed up and said, "That's right, don't you see whose wife she is?"

"Let's put it this way. Your sister-in-law is a 'Level 5 Chef' and a 'Top Level 5 Chef'. She will soon be able to cross the threshold of 'Level 4'. If she reaches 'Level 3', she can become a chef there. Isn't that amazing?"

"I am your brother, at best a 'Level 6 Chef', let alone a 'Level 4'. I am far from even a 'Level 5 Chef'. How can I possibly compare to your sister-in-law?"

"Ha ha……"

Zhou Zheng suddenly thought of Minister Liu, and said, "Oh, by the way, Zhuzi..."

"I've found a backer for you. The big boss of the Ministry of Metallurgy is in need of a cook."

"It's just right for you to go and have a taste of Sichuan cuisine."

"It won't affect the work of the canteen at the steel mill."

"but……"

"You better watch your mouth."

He Yuzhu immediately replied, "Well, I know this. I was dumb when I was cooking. My master told me that when I was a teacher. If you don't believe me, ask your sister-in-law."

Yang Xiaoman nodded and said, "Zhu Zi is right, there is such a rule."

Zhou Zheng laughed: "Okay, okay, fine..."

"Then just be mute. Ask for leave tomorrow afternoon and I'll take you there..."
