Siheyuan, Rainwater is the master, Shazhu wins

After Qin Huairu left He Yuzhu's house, she went straight to the third uncle's house.

When she saw the third uncle was at home, she felt relieved.

She took a deep breath and said to Uncle San, "Uncle San, I came to you today to ask for a favor. Can you help me find out how much Banggeng will pay for school?"

The third uncle frowned and asked in confusion: "Why, do you have money to pay tuition now?"

Qin Huairu quickly shook her head and explained, "No, it's because the uncle saw that the children were resting at home all the time and not going to school, which would ruin their future. So he was willing to lend me money so that Banggeng could continue his studies."

After hearing this, the third uncle nodded and said with emotion: "Well, Lao Yi is really a good person."

Then, he promised: "I will go to the school to inquire about the situation in the afternoon, and tell you the result at the gate in the evening."

Qin Huairu was filled with gratitude and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much, it's getting late, I have to go to the factory first."

After saying that, she turned around and went home, repeatedly telling her three children to stay at home or play in the yard and not to run around.

After making all the arrangements, she hurried to the steel mill.

"I didn't expect Lao Yi to be so generous! Even brothers probably wouldn't try so hard to help each other."

Yan Bugui said to his wife with emotion.

"Well, he is old after all. He probably did this in the hope that Banggeng would remember his kindness and understand that it was because of his money that he was able to continue his studies."

"Yes, this is a really smart way to help the poor!"

After hearing what her husband said, the third aunt nodded repeatedly to show her agreement.

"A few days later, when Lao Yi learned that Qin Huairu did not have enough money to pay for her child's tuition, he stepped in to help."

"In this way, Qin Huairu will naturally be grateful to him, and Banggeng will also have this memory in his heart."

"As long as he is not an ungrateful ungrateful person in the future, then Lao Yi will have successfully trained a reliable person to take care of him in his old age."

After listening to her husband's analysis, the third aunt nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to go to school too. You stay at home and keep an eye on it. Don't let any thieves take advantage of the situation."

"Don't worry, except for that old woman Jia Zhang, no one in our yard would steal anything. Besides, she is still in jail now."

"Oh my, I actually forgot about He Yuzhu's lunch box being lost, and it happened for two days in a row!"

"Old Yan, don't you think Qin Huairu did this?"

"She doesn't have much money now. What is she going to use to cook for the children at night? Do you think it's enough for her to eat a lunch box with her children when she gets home from get off work at noon?"

"Well, Sha Zhuzi has really become stupid this time. Even if Qin Huairu had been there, he wouldn't say anything, so it's very likely that she did it."

"Okay, it's none of our business anyway. I have to go to school first."

The third uncle walked out of the house while talking to himself, and rode his second-hand bicycle towards the school.

It was not until about three o'clock in the afternoon that the people in the backyard sniffed themselves carefully, and after making sure that there was no strange smell, they returned home with peace of mind.

When Lou Xiao'e saw that they had all left, she returned to the room and smelled it carefully. After confirming that there was no peculiar smell, she finally felt relieved.

"Finally the smell is gone. This old lady is really something. She is so old but still doesn't know how to avoid certain foods. She eats things she can't eat. She is really not afraid of death!"

After she finished her sigh, she gently closed the door, then slowly walked back to the bedroom and lay down on the bed exhausted.

She was so tired and needed a good rest.

It was her habit to take a nap after lunch, but today she was delayed for two hours because of this matter. Now she was so sleepy that she couldn't hold on any longer.

On the other hand, He Yuzhu actually knew that Lou Xiao'e had returned.

He heard their conversation at the door. His five senses were very strong now, and his hearing was incredibly good.

At this moment, he was secretly thinking in his heart that he wanted to tease this silly moth.

He quickly packed up his lunch box, washed the chopsticks and bowl, changed into comfortable clothes, and activated his invisibility skill.

Currently, his invisibility skill still only lasts for thirty minutes, and there is a ten-minute cooldown.

Despite this, he felt that he still had enough time to tease Lou Xiao'e.

However, before heading to her house, he decided to check with the deaf old lady to see if he could find anything special.

After all, in various versions of the story about traveling through a courtyard house, the deaf old lady was described as very mysterious. He couldn't help but wonder, is this old lady in reality also full of mystery?

He quickly walked out the door and headed towards the backyard.

At this moment, the backyard seemed unusually quiet, as if time had stopped.

Women from every household were lying down at home to rest. After all, they had just completed a huge project and were exhausted before having lunch.

Lunch and dinner had to be eaten together, but now was not a good time to cook, so everyone chose to go to sleep.

He Yuzhu entered the deaf old lady's house quietly. The reason why he was able to sneak in so easily was that the door was not closed and remained ventilated.

"Well, there is still a slight smell, but it is not very obvious. It seems that the old lady seems to be afraid of chili peppers. Yu Shui is really cruel this time."

"I just don't know what kind of revenge the old lady will take. I have to remind my sister to be careful of this old fox."

As soon as he stepped into the place, he immediately started searching. The area of ​​the entire house was not very large, only about 40 square meters.

He began to search through boxes and cabinets with a meticulousness that could be compared to the mentality of someone searching for a rare treasure.

At this moment, he suddenly discovered a secret in the old lady's bed.

There was an ingenious mechanism hidden there. He carefully touched the button and watched as a staircase began to appear on the bed.

The sound was still a bit loud, but fortunately everyone in the backyard was asleep and didn't hear the noise here.

He Yuzhu stood there silently, waiting quietly.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally five long minutes passed.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then carefully stepped into the mysterious basement.

At this moment, He Yuzhu's heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

He thought to himself: Is it possible that what I have been expecting is about to come true?

Is this old lady from that small island country, or is she from Taiwan, or is she a member of a prestigious landowner family?

Full of doubts and curiosity, He Yuzhu slowly walked down to the basement.
