Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

After returning home, Yi Zhonghai was extremely happy. He took the title deed of Sha Zhu's house and looked at it again and again before locking it in the box under the bed.

Then he sat down at the table, looked at the dishes that had not been cleared away, and called to his wife, "Old woman, cook our piece of meat."

Yi Zhonghai queued up early in the morning to buy this piece of meat. He had already pickled it and planned to keep it aside and add a few slices to enhance the flavor when stir-frying the cabbage.

I was surprised to hear his words: "Lao Yi, that piece of meat was marinated with salt this morning. It will be very salty if you cook it directly."

"We are not young anymore, so we don't like to eat salty food. Besides, we just had a meal, so you are hungry in such a short time?"

As soon as the auntie finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm in a good mood today. Just listen to me and go fry the meat. We'll have a drink."

Hearing this, Auntie was even more speechless. Due to health reasons, she had not drunk any alcohol in all these years since her marriage, and Yi Zhonghai knew this.

Now that he said such words, he was either so happy that he was confused, or he didn't have her in his heart at all.

Thinking of this, the aunt frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai, but at this time Yi Zhonghai was still intoxicated with the sense of accomplishment today, thinking happily about all kinds of things.

He didn't notice the complaining lady at all. After a while, when he came to his senses, he saw his wife still sitting at the table without moving, so he urged:

"I asked you what's wrong with you. Where's the meat you cooked? Why are you sitting down?"

The old lady lowered her head and said nothing. Yi Zhonghai then realized something was wrong and approached her and asked, "What's wrong with you, old lady? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Every time the aunt felt unwell, her face would turn pale, but now her face looked normal and she didn’t look unwell at all.

Without waiting for her to reply, Yi Zhonghai complained, "I just asked you to fry some meat to go with the wine. Why are you making it so difficult? Forget it, I'll do it myself."

After saying that, he went to the cupboard to get the piece of bacon, then walked out of the house and headed towards the kitchen.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, the middle-aged woman was staring at his back with resentment, sighing and muttering to herself: "Oh, what a sin."

On the other side, Lin Donglai had just returned home with the letter of guarantee. He had just laid down on the bed and was about to take a rest before going out with his sister to find something to eat when there was a knock on the door.

He asked impatiently, "Who is it? Just tell me what you want to say!"

There was a rustling sound outside the house. Lin Donglai thought it was his sister leading Xiao Heidou to make trouble, so he said with a smile: "Don't be naughty, Dongyi."

Unexpectedly, the person outside the door spoke: "Donglai, not Dongyi, it's me."

Who else could this voice belong to except Sha Zhu? Lin Donglai still didn't open the door: "Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"

"Dongla, I need your help with something. There are too many people outside the house, so I'd like to talk to you inside. If it's convenient, please open the door."

Lin Donglai thought that it must be no good thing for Sha Zhu to ask him for help at this time.

Despite this, he still stretched, slowly got up from the bed, and reluctantly opened the door.

As he expected, as soon as Sha Zhu walked into the room, he shouted anxiously: "Dongla, only you can help me with this matter."

"Look, I've written the guarantee letter and handed the title deed to the uncle for safekeeping. So, please help me persuade your sister to come back. I miss her so much."

It’s no wonder that Sha Zhu’s train of thought is different from that of ordinary people. Lin Donglai clearly remembered that he had not promised Sha Zhu that he could help him persuade Sister Lingzi to come back.

He just said that if he could write a letter of guarantee, he would help him keep the fact that he had been in contact with Qin Huairu during this period a secret.

He could take advantage of the time he spent in the countryside to talk to Sister Lingzi. As for whether she would come back or what would happen in the future, no one could tell.

When he told Sha Zhu his thoughts seriously, as expected, he saw an expression of surprise on Sha Zhu's face.

"Brother Zhuzi, to be honest, whether you and Sister Lingzi can go back to the past depends mainly on whether you two are still destined to be together."

"You also know that fate is something that can't be forced, and there's no point in being anxious, right?"

Lin Donglai didn't know whether Sha Zhu had listened to him or not, but he felt relieved to see him with a droopy face and nodding from time to time.

After he finished speaking, he made an excuse that he had to go out for something and ordered Sha Zhu to leave. Sha Zhu had no choice but to get up reluctantly.

Just as he stepped out of the Lin family's gate, he turned back and said, "Donlai, whenever you go to Zhangjia Village, be sure to call me. I will go with you. Remember this."

"Okay, okay, I heard you, Brother Zhuzi, you should go back." As soon as Sha Zhu stepped out, Lin Donglai quickly closed the door.

It was already dark by then. Sha Zhu returned home and sat on a chair for a long time, but he found that he had no appetite at all.

At this moment, he felt empty inside and had no energy to do anything. He just sat there with the door open.

Qin Huairu couldn't calm down after hearing what Jia Zhang said, and she had no mood to do the private work that followed that evening.

She didn't believe what her mother-in-law said from the bottom of her heart. She felt that based on her understanding of Sha Zhu, he could not possibly do such a heartless thing.

So he would walk to the door of his house from time to time and keep an eye on Sha Zhu's house. When he saw Sha Zhu walking back from the front yard, he would immediately turn around and look into the inner room.

She planned to sneak out when Jia Zhang wasn't paying attention and find Sha Zhu to find out the truth. She wanted to see if what her mother-in-law said was made up by her.

But Jia Zhang had already seen through Qin Huairu's intention, and after returning from the courtyard, she had been keeping an eye on Qin Huairu.

Not only did she put away her shoe soles, she also turned a deaf ear to the stick's whining behavior towards her. From time to time, she would walk from the inner room to the outer room, listening to the noise with her ears perked up.

When she heard that Qin Huairu was about to leave, Jia Zhang immediately came out from the inner room: "Huairu, where are you going?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes helplessly before turning back and saying, "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom. How come I don't even have the freedom to go to the bathroom now?"

"Hmph! You'd better behave yourself and stop thinking about those nonsense. This will be better for everyone."

After saying this, Jia Zhang sat down at the table. When she saw Qin Huairu walking out of the house, she said to Xiaodang, "Xiaodang, hurry up and follow your mother."

"Whenever you see her talking to Shazhu, come back and tell grandma. Make sure to watch carefully, otherwise you will lose your mom too. Do you hear me?"

Xiaodang knew that Qin Huairu was the only one in this family who loved her and her sister the most. After hearing this, she immediately ran out after Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu just walked out of the yard when she heard footsteps running towards her. She turned around and saw that it was Xiaodang. She asked in confusion, "Why are you out too?"

"Mom, grandma told me to watch you and not to talk to Sha Zhu."

As soon as Xiaodang finished speaking, Qin Huairu sighed, squatted down and hugged her daughter, feeling very uncomfortable.
