Sha Zhu shouted towards the front yard: "Dongla, I've prepared the meal. Hurry up and bring Dongyi over. It's time to eat."

Jia Zhang had just woken up from a nap. It was almost time for dinner, and she felt it would be awkward if she didn't do something busy, so she started to sew shoe soles.

Today is the weekend. Qin Huairu took a few children out early in the morning. No one knows where they went to play, and they haven't returned home yet at this time.

There was no one to cook at noon, so she ate a steamed bun made of two grains of flour. Her stomach had been rumbling for a while.

But he was thinking about waiting for his daughter-in-law to come home and cook, so he didn't move.

For Jia Zhang, she may not be able to hear other sounds, but once she hears the word "eat", she will be fully alert at all times.

As soon as Sha Zhu finished shouting in the yard, she immediately pulled aside the curtain and looked outside, cursing, "Damn Sha Zhu! You are such a piece of shit!"

"We all live in the middle courtyard. When they prepared a meal, they didn't even bother to invite our family to eat. Why did they invite the Lin siblings from the front courtyard?"

"After such a bad situation, Lin, who eats meat all day long, was never asked to eat. He is really stupid."

After Sha Zhu finished shouting, he went into the kitchen with a smile, brought out a bowl of braised pork, and inadvertently saw Jia Zhang staring at him from behind the window.

Her eyes were gloomy and her lips were moving up and down constantly. It was obvious that she had nothing nice to say.

Sha Zhu was still a little afraid of Jia Zhang, an old lady who would cry and groan at every turn.

He always adhered to the principle of avoiding those who can't be provoked, so he stayed away from her and left her no room to perform.

This time, seeing Jia Zhang staring at him, he cursed her in his heart and ignored her.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai was sitting at home, feeling very uncomfortable when he saw Sha Zhu happily carrying the dishes back to the house.

He said what he dared to say, why couldn't this idiot come to his senses? All his efforts were in vain.

An old lady watched as her husband sat at the table, staring at the yard with a sullen face, not moving at all, since he came home.

An old lady was wiping the table. Seeing that he looked a little unwell, she asked, "Old Yi, you don't look right. Your face is all black. Are you feeling unwell?"

Yi Zhonghai then sighed and found a girl for Sha Zhu in the countryside without his permission. He also brought the girl and her parents home.

He then roughly described the conversation between himself and Sha Zhu just now, followed by another sigh.

"My dear, when did Zhuzi become like this? He won't listen to any advice at all."

"It seems that if he really marries that country girl, it will be difficult for us to count on him in the future. That girl's father doesn't look like a good person."

Thinking of the look Lingzi's father gave him, Yi Zhonghai still felt a lingering fear. It was the first time he had seen such a look full of warning and anger.

After hearing what he said, the aunt comforted him, "Forget it, Lao Yi. Getting angry is bad for your health. We are both not young anymore. There is no need to worry about this."

Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply: "Alas! If I had known this would happen, I would have found him a suitable partner earlier. I really regret it."

"Even if we find one for him, he may not be interested in her. I can see that he only wants to find a beautiful wife."

"Qin Huairu from our hospital is very pretty. If we knew this, we should have just paired them up."

"Old Yi, Qin Huairu is pretty, but she has three children and a mother-in-law, so she is not easy to deal with."

After listening to his wife's words, Yi Zhonghai sighed again: "So what? If I were Shazhu, I would choose her."

The lady stopped what she was doing, threw the rag on the table, raised her voice and asked, "Lao Yi, what did you just say?"

Yi Zhonghai said indignantly: "I mean, if I were Shazhu, I would choose Qin Huairu instead of that country girl."

As soon as the voice fell, the aunt screamed again: "Well, you old Yi, I said why you are so good to the Jia family for no reason."

"From time to time, you send flour and cornmeal, and borrow money from me. I guess you are thinking about this widow!"

If the aunt was a little confused about Yi Zhonghai's actions before, now she could see clearly his intentions.

As soon as the voice fell, Yi Zhonghai immediately jumped up from the chair, stepped forward and covered her mouth: "Shh! Don't talk nonsense!"

"When did I ever say that I miss Qin Huairu? My dear, please don't say it carelessly. It will be terrible if others hear it."

When she thought that the man who had been with her for many years had such thoughts, the aunt was overwhelmed with grief and struggled to get away from Yi Zhonghai with her hands and feet:

"Old Yi, don't you just dislike me for not being able to give you a child after all these years of marriage?"

"We agreed not to have children before we got married. Besides, I have tried my best to serve you all these years. What else are you not satisfied with?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly coaxed: "My dear, you are right, I was wrong, I will listen to you from now on, okay?"

"I beg you to stop making trouble. If other people hear me, I will lose my reputation as the boss of the courtyard. Do you want that?"

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai's reputation as an old man still wins him a lot of respect in the hospital. At least no one has dared to oppose him in these years.

The auntie had long been accustomed to this "honor". After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, she lowered her voice:

"You are not allowed to meet her alone in the future, and you are not allowed to send anything to her house. If you disagree, I will make a scene and let everyone in the courtyard know about it."

Yi Zhonghai nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. The aunt also decided to stop while she was ahead. She rolled her eyes at him and went back to her housework.

Just as Yi Zhonghai patted his chest, feeling relieved that nothing had happened and sat down at the table, a man walked past his door.

He quickly chased out to see who it was, and Lin Donglai heard the footsteps and turned around to look at him.

As their eyes met, Lin Donglai smiled at him meaningfully: "Uncle, I didn't expect that you are still as skilled as ever."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he quickly turned around and went back to the house and closed the door.

In fact, Lin Donglai overheard the couple's conversation by accident. It was purely an accident.

He originally planned to go and say hello to his third uncle and his family, but his sister had not returned home yet, so they would go over later for dinner.

Normally, the aunt speaks softly, probably because she is not in good health, and I have never heard her speak loudly to anyone.

This was the first time Lin Donglai heard her speak so loudly, and his curiosity was naturally aroused. He stopped involuntarily to listen.

Although the conversation between the old couple was only a few short sentences, the whole story was described very clearly, which amazed Lin Donglai.

He had always wondered why Jia Zhang would scold Yi Zhonghai for not being a good person. It turned out that there was such a hidden plot behind this.
