Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

Faced with Gao's overly enthusiastic attitude, Sha Zhu couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart.

His mood was extremely complicated, as if there was a tangled mess that made him unable to make sense of it.

At the same time, Niu Aihua gave Gao a slightly shy smile, then reached out and gently grabbed Sha Zhu's arm, and took him into the house.

As soon as he entered the house, Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and Niu Aihua with a smile on his face. His wrinkled face blossomed with a smile as bright as a shit-yellow chrysanthemum.

He grinned and said, "Zhu Zi, Ai Hua has successfully entered our steel mill to work. When are you two going to get your marriage certificate?"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai attentively poured a cup of steaming hot water for each of Sha Zhu and Niu Aihua, and handed the cups to them.

However, after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Sha Zhu suddenly became silent.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

At this moment, his heart was full of confusion and doubts, and he had no idea how to ask Yi Zhonghai the question that had been lingering in his mind.

At this moment, Niu Aihua, who was standing nearby, keenly noticed Sha Zhu's abnormality. She quietly kicked Sha Zhu with her foot, signaling him to reply quickly.

After feeling Niu Aihua's hint, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and mustered up the courage to say to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, I want to ask you, has my father He Daqing been sending me money?" As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into silence.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Sha Zhu's abrupt question, his head suddenly started buzzing as if it had been hit hard.

He stared at Sha Zhu with his eyes wide open in disbelief, and beads of sweat even began to appear on his forehead.

An inexplicable feeling of panic arose, causing his heartbeat to speed up involuntarily.

Although he was already panicking inside, Yi Zhonghai still pretended to be calm, trying to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, and asked stutteringly: "What...what's wrong, Zhuzi? Why are you asking this suddenly?"

Yi Zhonghai's words seemed ordinary, but they sounded like explosions in the ears of Sha Zhu and Niu Aihua. They finally realized that everything Ye Fan said was true.

Perhaps even Yi Zhonghai himself did not realize that his words had actually given Sha Zhu a clear answer - He Daqing had indeed been sending money to Sha Zhu!

At this moment, Sha Zhumian was as calm as death, and he slowly closed his eyes. But at that moment, a crystal teardrop quietly slid down from the corner of his eye uncontrollably.

It seemed that at this moment, the belief that Sha Zhu had held in his heart for a long time completely collapsed.

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, keenly caught Sha Zhu's huge emotional fluctuations and hurriedly explained, "Zhu Zi, my original plan was to wait until you and Ai Hua got married, and then transfer the money to Ai Hua for safekeeping.

Who would have thought that you would know about this in advance.

Could it be that your father He Daqing has returned?

Or did he give you the relevant information in some way?"

Yi Zhonghai could never have imagined that the person who told Sha Zhu about He Daqing sending money was not someone else but Ye Fan.

Therefore, at this moment, there were only two possibilities in his mind. Either He Daqing returned in person, or He Daqing entrusted someone else to convey this matter to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu's mind was as clear as a mirror. He knew very well that no matter how much he cursed, blamed, or even beat Yi Zhonghai at this moment, he would not be able to change the current situation.

So he took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and said slowly: "Uncle, as for who told me this, please don't bother to find out.

You'd better give me the money quickly! Aihua and I are going to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and I need the money urgently."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Sha Zhu said, he was stunned and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

But he reacted quickly and said hastily: "Ah... yes, yes, I'll go get the money for you, Zhuzi."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai stood up in a panic and ran hurriedly towards his own cellar.

At this moment, his heart was filled with panic, as if everything he had carefully planned was like a fragile bubble, bursting in an instant and disappearing without a trace.

Aunt Gao hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Sha Zhu and Niu Aihua, "Zhu Zi, please don't misunderstand. Your uncle definitely didn't intend to withhold the money from you, and he never thought of taking it for himself.

The reason why he has been keeping the money for you is because he is worried that you will squander it recklessly after getting it."

Sha Zhu still had a stern face and nodded expressionlessly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I understand. I know it all very well. Uncle did this for my own good!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu's tone was calm, without any disturbance in his voice, but actually his heart was already in turmoil.

However, surprisingly, faced with such a situation, Sha Zhu neither cried nor made a scene, nor did he beat or scold others to vent his anger.

On the contrary, he was surprisingly calm, as peaceful as a pool of dead water.

But beneath this seemingly calm appearance, Sha Zhu's mind was churning violently like lightning and thunder.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the person who really cared about him might be Ye Fan, who often assaulted him.

Looking back on the past, every time Ye Fan taught him a lesson, it was because he was too impulsive and loved to stand up for others. Thinking about it carefully, there was not a single time when Ye Fan deliberately provoked trouble or caused trouble for him.

When these thoughts came to his mind, Sha Zhu suddenly became enlightened and had a plan in mind.

From now on, the only relationship between him and Yi Zhonghai would be a nodding one. He would never trust each other easily again, let alone do things for Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the door. After a while, Yi Zhonghai walked into the room slowly, holding an object wrapped tightly in canvas...

He opened the canvas bag and placed it on the table in front of Sha Zhu, saying, "Zhu Zi, here is 1,127 yuan. Your father He Daqing sent more or less money each time.

But it’s all here.”

Sha Zhu took a look at the money wrapped in canvas and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, I won't bother you and Auntie anymore.

Aihua and I will get the marriage certificate tomorrow, and there are still many things to do, so Aihua and I will go back first."

After saying that, he looked at Niu Aihua and said, "Aihua, take this money."
