Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

Sha Zhu went home, heated up the food, and took it to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

"Grandma, guess what I brought you?" Sha Zhu said as he pushed the door open and walked into the house.

When the deaf old lady heard Sha Zhu's voice, she happily stood up from the bed, sat down at the table and asked:

"Zhu Zi, you're here! What delicious food did you bring for the wife?"

Sha Zhu opened the lunch box, which was filled with braised pork.

"Look! Braised pork! Grandma, I tell you, it's stewed very mushy, please try it." Sha Zhu walked into the kitchen and took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady laughed heartily, took Sha Zhu's hand and pulled him to sit next to her, and said with a loving face:

"No hurry! Zhuzi, I have something serious to tell you, so listen carefully!"

Sha Zhu looked indifferent and replied perfunctorily: "You talk, I'm listening."

"I'll find Song the matchmaker in the alley and ask her to help you find a partner! I'm telling you, don't tell anyone about this, okay? Madam, I'll let you know when there's any news!"

Sha Zhu looked at the deaf old lady with surprise and asked in disbelief, "Really?!"

"Of course! When has the madam ever lied to you? Just wait for good news!" The deaf old lady patted Sha Zhu's hand and rolled her eyes at him with a look of reproach on her face.

When Sha Zhu heard the good news, he happily said to the deaf old lady: "That's right! Grandma, you are so good to me! I'm waiting for your good news!"

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she ignored Sha Zhu who was sitting beside her and laughing foolishly, and started to eat the braised pork happily.

After the old lady finished eating, Sha Zhu put away the lunch box and walked towards the central courtyard with brisk steps.

As soon as he arrived at the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was stopped by Qin Huairu:

"Silly Zhu! Why are you so happy? Bring me the lunch box and I'll wash it for you."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, who seemed to be both happy and angry, and happily handed over the lunch box, saying with a beaming face: "There is good news!"

"What good news is it that makes you so happy?"

Sha Zhu said proudly: "I won't tell you! You can guess slowly!"

After saying that, he staggered back home.

Qin Huairu put away her smile, frowned and started to wonder in her heart, wondering what good news Sha Zhu had!

Qin Huairu, feeling uneasy, went home, washed the lunch box in a hurry, picked up the lunch box and carried the plate of peanuts and went to Sha Zhu's house.

"Zhu Zi! I brought you a plate of peanuts to go with your wine!" Qin Huairu pushed the door open and entered the room, putting a few peanuts on the plate on the table.

Sha Zhu was happily drinking his wine at this time. When he saw the peanuts, he grabbed a few and threw them into his mouth. He said happily, "Sister Qin is still good to me!"

Qin Huairu sat aside and asked indirectly, "Zhu Zi, what good news happened today that makes you so happy?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and squinted his eyes, pretending to drink the wine.

Seeing that Sha Zhu didn't say anything, Qin Huairu immediately pulled her face, showing an aggrieved expression, and said coquettishly: "Okay! You won't tell me, right? I don't want to know yet!"

After saying that, he stood up and pretended to leave. Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's back, smiled complacently and said nothing.

Qin Huairu returned home, tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep. Jia Zhang was upset by the noise and said impatiently:

"What are you doing? Are you still asleep?"

"Shazhu is hiding something from me, so I'm a little worried!" Qin Huairu explained.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately became furious, turned over and sat up, angrily scolding Qin Huairu:

"What's the matter? Are you worried about your lover? Let me tell you, Qin Huairu, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family! If you dare to let Dongxu down, I will never forgive you!"

After saying that, he didn't go to sleep. He got up, took out the photo of Jia Dongxu, held it in his arms, and started muttering to himself.

Qin Huairu looked at this eerie and terrifying scene, and her scalp went numb with fear. She quickly explained:

"Mom! What are you doing? Sha Zhu is hiding something from me. I'm just afraid that Sha Zhu won't support us in the future!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Why don't you help me? You have been helping him clean up for years, and it was all for nothing? He said he would not help me, so what?"

"Besides, who doesn't understand Sha Zhu's thoughts? With your methods, can't you control him?"

Qin Huairu was so angry that tears streamed down her face. "Mom! How can you talk like that? I have never done anything to let Dongxu down!"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and said, "Stop pretending. Do you think I don't know where those white flour buns came from? I'm telling you, if you dare to let Dongxu down, I won't forgive you!"

After saying this, Jia Zhang returned to her bed and fell asleep.

Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, thinking about what Jia Zhang said in her heart. She was right. If she didn't give Sha Zhu some sweet treats, she would be able to catch him, an old bachelor!

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu made up her mind and slowly fell asleep.
