This left the deaf old lady with no chance to talk to Su Mu about the matter.

"This brat, he was eating alone at home, and he didn't even bring me any food.

How can you bear to see an old woman like me smelling the aroma of meat at home but not being able to eat it? Isn't this killing me?"

Su Mu was halfway through cooking when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and was stunned when he saw Xiaoyue standing outside.

"It's time for dinner, why are you here?"

"Aunt, since you are home alone, let me bring you some food."

Most people would be very happy to hear this, after all, someone is taking the initiative to send them food.

Moreover, he is the eldest uncle in the courtyard, so the food in Yi Zhonghai’s house must be good.

But Su Mu felt that Yi Zhonghai’s things were not so easy to take, and the other party must have a purpose.

What can I gain from him now? The only thing I can gain is him.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai no longer likes Jia Dongxu and wants him to be his retirement target?

Su Mu will not be easily controlled by others. He is living such a comfortable life now.

There is no need to add two more burdens to myself. Thinking of this, Su Mu smiled and shook his head.

"No, I made my own meal. You can take these back."

Xiaoyue was at a loss after being rejected.

"My aunt asked me to send the things over. If you don't accept them, I will definitely be scolded when I go back."

"Just tell them I cooked. Uncles and aunts don't have such bad tempers."

In fact, Xiaoyue also understood, but she just wanted to have this meal with Sumu.

Xiaoyue didn't say anything else, just stood there silently. Finally, Sumu felt helpless.

He could only nod and let Xiaoyue come to his home.

Su Mu also brought the dishes he cooked to the table and invited Xiaoyue to stay and eat together.

Xiaoyue, who was just thinking about how to stay in Sumu's house, heard this.

A smile appeared on Xiaoyue's face, and she nodded and ate with Sumu.

On the other side, He Yuzhu took his lunch box and sat down on a chair in Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Uncle, how old is Xiaoyue?"

Although Yi Zhonghai saw through He Yuzhu's thoughts, he already had a better candidate in mind.

So Yi Zhonghai pretended that he knew nothing, but he didn't expect that He Yuzhu would break the window paper.

"Xiaoyue, you are 19 years old this year."

"Then she should not have been married in the countryside when she was old enough to get married?"

"I'm not married yet. I'm the youngest girl in the family, so it's not that early."

"Uncle, what do you think of me?"

He Yuzhu began to recommend himself, and both Yi Zhonghai and the aunt felt a headache.

"You're fine."

"I won't hide it from you. I fell in love with Xiaoyue the first time I saw her..."

He Yuzhu directly expressed his thoughts, fearing that if he spoke too slowly, Xiaoyue would no longer be his.

"Shazhu, you are a good young man, and one of the most promising young people in our courtyard.

Being the head chef in the steel mill canteen at such a young age, he must have a bright future.

But it depends on Xiaoyue's opinion. If Xiaoyue disagrees, we as aunts and uncles can't force her, right?"

Yi Zhonghai did not reject He Yuzhu directly, nor did he say anything so decisive.

He wanted to leave some room in case Su Mu looked down upon Xiao Yue and had He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai would be very happy if Su Mu could finally become his pension partner.

But Yi Zhonghai also understood that Su Mu was not so easy to control, but He Yuzhu was different.

So Yi Zhonghai planned to do both, and he would be able to catch one of them.

"Then you have no objection to Xiaoyue and I getting in touch."

"Of course I don't object. We are already at the age of marriage, so it's good to have more contact. But as I said before, Xiaoyue has to agree."

Yi Zhonghai's words were enough. He Yuzhu was still very confident that he could make Xiaoyue fall in love with him.

"Uncle, I'll leave this lunch box here. I'm going back first. Yu Shui is still waiting for me at home."

After saying this, He Yuzhu left happily. After he left, the aunt shook her head.

"If it weren't for Su Mu, I would be quite satisfied with Sha Zhu, and I would also like to bring him and Xiao Yue together."

"Don't be too optimistic. Su Mu may not like Xiao Yue."

If he really had that idea, after these two contacts, Su Mu should have taken the initiative to find Xiaoyue.

But that was not the case. On the contrary, Su Mu's attitude towards Xiaoyue was rather cold.

"Our Xiaoyue is so beautiful and hardworking.

Why does Su Mu look down on my Xiaoyue? If he does, he is blind. "

The aunt was very satisfied with her niece.

"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly. Xiaoyue hasn't come back yet. I guess she's eating with Sumu."

On the other hand, Sumu and Xiaoyue felt very uncomfortable eating together.

In the end, no one enjoyed the meal. Xiaoyue felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so she took the initiative to leave Sumu's house.

After Xiaoyue left, Sumu relaxed all of a sudden. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and ate while shaking.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his mind why Yi Zhonghai had been in frequent contact with him during this period and why he was so nice to him.

If they wanted to take him in as a pensioner, Su Mu felt that it was unlikely.

After all, his family is rich, and they are not like the Jia family who have a hard time and can't even afford to eat.

He didn't need any help from Yi Zhonghai, and the other party had no way of making him owe him a favor.

Yi Zhonghai is a very smart person. Knowing that it is disadvantageous to him, he will not continue to make this choice.

So apart from this person, what else can I gain? The only thing is this house and money.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is disappointed with Jia Dongxu, it is impossible for him to still think of helping Jia Dongxu to take his house.

Yi Zhonghai himself had two rooms, and they had no children, so these two rooms were more than enough.

When he has enough, he can then consider owning his own house and hold it in his hands.

Even if he didn't say anything, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui would not agree.

The three uncles seemed to be very harmonious on the surface and helped each other with their work.

But everyone has their own little plans in private, not to mention that it involves something as big as a house.

Su Mu, who couldn't figure it out, didn't think about it any further. He didn't want to make things too difficult for himself.

After eating and drinking, Su Mu cleaned up the dishes and went to lie down on the recliner.
