Qin Huairu was also unhappy when she saw He Yuzhu didn't say anything. She had made it so obvious, but He Yuzhu was still pretending to be confused.

He Yuzhu was struggling to pull a full cart of coal and was about to go to the backyard. At this time, Qin Huairu stared at He Yuzhu, as if trying to see something from his expression.

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Zhuzi, we were really blessed with the coal lent to us yesterday by the old man, otherwise life would have been really difficult." As she spoke, a trace of gratitude appeared on her face.

In fact, Qin Huairu said this on purpose, just to make He Yuzhu ask for coal from her family himself, but she couldn't say this out of her own mouth.

In fact, when Qin Huairu just walked out of the house, He Yuzhu had already guessed the purpose of her visit. However, after experiencing a series of things with Gu Nan, He Yuzhu also had a new understanding of Qin Huairu.

So at this moment, He Yuzhu just responded indifferently: "Yes, Sister Qin, this winter is indeed very cold!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's heart suddenly tightened. She immediately realized that He Yuzhu was deliberately fooling her.

However, she did not give up easily. Instead, she smiled slightly and continued, "Zhu Zi, look at you, you bought so much coal. You can't use it up anyway. Why don't you give some to our family?" As she spoke, her expectant eyes looked straight at He Yuzhui.

Qin Huairu didn't know what had influenced He Yuzhu. If it were in the past, as long as she asked, He Yuzhu would agree to give her coal. But she didn't know why he didn't agree this time.

He Yuzhu sighed inwardly. As expected, Qin Huairu came here for the coal. He shook his head helplessly and answered firmly, "Sister Qin, I'm so sorry! I have other uses for the coal, so I can't share it with your family." After that, he ignored Qin Huairu, picked up the car and continued to walk towards the backyard.

Qin Huairu stared at He Yuzhu with eyes wide open, looking at him in astonishment. She never expected that these words would come out of his usually smiling mouth: "Zhuzi, we have been neighbors for many years! How can you be so cold-blooded and ruthless like Gu Nan?"

Although Qin Huairu cared a lot about the coal, she cared more about He Yuzhu's attitude towards her. After all, although He Yuzhu was working in the workshop now, he still had some savings.

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Sister Qin, you said that I am now working in the workshop, and I am just an apprentice. You know how much I earn in a month."

Qin Huairu naturally understood, but when she looked at the coal on the cart pulled by He Yuzhu, she was still wondering what to say.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, and explained with a wry smile: "Sister Qin, you are really wronging me! I didn't buy these coals with my own money at all. Are these coals given to me?"

Just when Qin Huairu wanted to continue arguing, she heard a slight sound of footsteps. It turned out that a deaf old lady was walking towards her tremblingly with a cane.

As she walked, she kept muttering, "Oh my, you silly Zhu, why didn't you deliver the coal to me first? It's so cold, what are you doing standing here?"

He Yuzhu rushed forward to support the deaf old lady, and at the same time turned to look at Qin Huairu and said, "Sister Qin, you should understand now, right? This coal was bought by the deaf old lady in the backyard. Even if I had the courage of heaven, I would not dare to give it to you privately!"

These coal-deaf old ladies did spend money, but the bulk of it was still paid by He Yuzhu, who just didn't want to give it to Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu heard this, a mixture of disappointment and anger suddenly appeared on her face. She cursed in her heart: He Yuzhu, you actually brought out the deaf old lady in the backyard as a shield! It's obvious that you don't want to help me! Humph! Thinking of this, she glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, then turned around and left angrily, her steps seemed particularly heavy.

He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu's back as she walked away and sighed softly. Then, he quickly pulled up the cart full of coal, walked carefully to the side of the deaf old lady, and said with concern: "My old lady, it's so cold and the ground is so slippery. If you accidentally fall, it will be terrible!" After that, he helped the deaf old lady walk home together.

When the deaf old lady passed by Gu Nan's house, she saw that Gu Nan and Ran Qiuye were only wearing a sweater in Gu Nan's room, so she looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Silly Zhu, why is Gu Nan wearing so little? Is he not afraid of the cold?"

You know, although the deaf old lady lied about her age, she is old after all, and she is still very afraid of winter. After all, it will pass easily.

He Yuzhu just glared at Gu Nan's family. Although he had never been there, he had heard from Yi Zhonghai that Gu Nan's family was really warm.

Just when He Yuzhu wanted to say something, Yi Zhonghai came over and said, "Old lady, what are you talking to Zhuzi about here? Zhuzi, why did you buy so much coal?"

He Yuzhu knew that Yi Zhonghai had seen everything just now: "Uncle, this old deaf lady is afraid of the cold this year, so she bought so much coal. Sister Qin just came to ask for more. You said that I didn't buy this, but I really can't tell her."

Not to mention Qin Huairu, even Yi Zhonghai didn't expect He Yuzhu to reject Qin Huairu, so he wanted to teach He Yuzhu a lesson.

But the deaf old lady was just pretending to be deaf, she was not really deaf. She heard what He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu said just now. Yi Zhonghai's words were meant to educate He Yuzhu and ask him to help the Jia family.

So the deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Xiao Yi, have you been to Gu Nan's house?"

Yi Zhonghai did not speak to He Yuzhu anymore, but looked at the deaf old lady: "Old lady, you don't know, Gu Nan's house is very warm, otherwise I will take you to see it."

The deaf old lady also wanted to see what was so warm, so she looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhu, go to the backyard and unload the coal."

He Yuzhu nodded: "Old lady, please go back slowly. It's snowing so heavily and the road is so slippery."

The deaf old lady didn't say anything, and He Yuzhu went back. Yi Zhonghai originally wanted He Yuzhu to unload some coal for the Jia family. After all, if He Yuzhu contributed some, he could pay less.

Yi Zhonghai took the deaf old lady to Gu Nan's house. Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it. If Gu Nan didn't agree to let him go, then he would just take the deaf old lady there directly to see if you had any reason to disagree.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Gu Nan's family had a dog guarding the door, so he started barking at the door.
