After leaving He Yuzhu's house, the deaf old lady completely lost all her confidence.

She saw an older woman, and noticed the evasive look in the woman's eyes, and immediately understood a lot.

Director Wang's arrival was too coincidental.

It was such a coincidence, it was as if they were waiting for the entire college meeting.

Only a handful of people knew about the meeting, and Yi Zhonghai and the others wouldn't tell He Yuzhu.

The only person most likely to tell He Yuzhu was an older woman.

She walked toward an older woman.

The older woman looked at her with a somewhat evasive gaze.

The deaf old woman was now even more certain: "Cuilan."

The middle-aged woman knew she couldn't avoid it, so she braced herself and answered, "Grandma, I..."

The deaf old woman interrupted her: "Let's go into your house and talk."

The woman was taken aback, then invited the deaf old lady into her home.

Miao Jianye was reading at home. He needed to study if he wanted to advance to the next level.

Only in this way can one truly gain a foothold in Beijing.

The deaf old woman looked at him, and a pang of regret welled up inside her. She could tell that Miao Jianye wasn't a very filial person, at least not one who met her expectations.

However, it cannot be said that he was unfilial. Compared to most people in the compound, Miao Jianye was much better.

If she had been less selfish and had chosen an older woman instead, none of this would have happened.

Looking into Miao Jianye's eyes now, she saw no warmth whatsoever, and she knew it was all too late.

"Cuilan, you told Zhuzi beforehand, didn't you?"

An older woman said nervously, "I was scared, that's why I told Sha Zhu."

The deaf old woman shook her head: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you. But I must remind you, don't call him 'Silly Zhu' anymore."

Everyone in the compound treated him like a fool, but he was the one who lived the best life in the compound.

If he's an idiot, then what are we?

An older woman looked at the deaf old lady with a puzzled expression. Having served the deaf old lady for so many years, she knew very well what the deaf old lady thought of He Yuzhu.

The deaf old woman said helplessly, "I'm leaving soon, so there's no need for me to lie to you. I came here to say goodbye."

Seeing that the deaf old lady didn't seem to be lying, the woman couldn't help but burst into tears.

She took care of the deaf old lady for more than ten years. Apart from the issue of the child, the deaf old lady was actually very good to her.

She bore the stigma of being unable to have children, yet no one in the courtyard dared to speak ill of her, all thanks to the protection of the deaf old woman.

To say that she had no feelings for the deaf old lady would be a lie.

The deaf old woman sighed: "Silly child, don't cry. I'm the one who's sorry."

You made the right choice. If you treat Jianye with sincerity, he will reciprocate.

The older woman cried even harder. This time, it wasn't out of sadness, but out of relief.

She faced immense pressure after divorcing Yi Zhonghai. People in the compound whispered behind her back that she had made the wrong choice.

This time, she finally gained recognition from others.

"old lady……"

The deaf old lady couldn't hold back her tears and started crying too.

The two cried for a while before stopping.

The deaf old woman wiped away her tears and said, "Before I leave, I'll give you one last piece of advice."

Zhonghai is like someone possessed by evil spirits; he has made up his mind about the Jia family and will not repent no matter how much they try to persuade him.

The Jia family is a bunch of ingrates; they will absolutely not support him in his old age.

You absolutely mustn't help him out of pity. That will only make your own life worse.”

The woman nodded while crying, indicating that she remembered.

The deaf old lady looked at Miao Jianye again: "Cuilan is a good person. You have received such a great favor from her, so you must be filial to her."

Miao Jianye agreed without any hesitation.

The deaf old lady then got up, preparing to leave, but stopped at the door.

“Your room is too small. After I leave, the neighborhood committee will take it back. If you want that room, try applying to the neighborhood committee.”

Everyone in the courtyard is eyeing that house; you might not be able to get it.

But trying is always better than doing nothing.

The old woman and Miao Jianye both wore solemn expressions. They both knew that what the deaf old woman said was true. After coming out, the deaf old woman went back to her room to pack her things.

After she left, people in He Yuzhu's family started talking about it.

Xu Damao said, "Brother Zhu, why don't you agree?"

He Yuzhu said irritably, "If you're willing, you can agree."

Xu Damao scoffed, "I'm not going to serve her."

Yu Li picked up the conversation: "It's a pity about the deaf old lady's house."

"Brother Zhu, what do you think will happen to the deaf old lady's house in the end?"

Her expression was so obvious. Everyone in the room could see it.

Xu Damao's eyes darted around.

At this point, no one would complain about having too few houses.

Chen Xiaofang also had a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Her house was the smallest, but her housing needs were the greatest.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Li Zhenjiang was a little embarrassed and said to Yu Li, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

Yu Li muttered, "I'm only thinking of Panpan. She's about to graduate from university..."

Li Zhenjiang's face turned red with anger, and he grabbed her and left.

Chen Xiaofang also left.

Only Xu Damao didn't leave; he's shameless.

"Brother Zhu, you don't want the deaf old lady's house, I want it."

He Yuzhu snorted: "What do you want? Your family doesn't even meet the requirements."

"Uncle Xu has a house, but you and your spouse are the only couple here. Do you think the neighborhood committee can allocate a house to you?"

Xu Damao said, "Can't I ask for it for my sister?"

He Yuzhu looked at her coldly: "Have you no shame? Xiaoling got into university, and you benefited from it and got a raise."

I haven't seen you give her any money for living expenses.

He Yushui and the others have all had their jobs arranged and are just waiting to receive their graduation certificates and report for duty.

He Yuzhu found them several good companies in Beijing, where they would be provided with dormitories.

They drank a lot of the spiritual spring water, which made them smart. If they perform well at the factory, they will definitely be able to get a house.

Xu Damao was so ashamed by He Yuzhu's words that he left He Yuzhu's house in a dejected manner.

Zhang Yan said awkwardly, "Brother Zhu, I'll deal with him later, please don't hold it against him."

He Yuzhu reminded her, "Once the deaf old lady leaves, the neighborhood will start arguing again over the house. Your family doesn't need it, so don't let Xu Damao get involved."

Zhang Yan nodded and went home.

He Yushui said, "I think Sister-in-law Yu Li and Sister-in-law Xiao Fang are both interested. The courtyard is going to be quite lively from now on."

He Yuzhu said, "No matter how lively it is, it has nothing to do with you. Have you decided which unit you want to go to?"

He Yushui said, "Not yet. The companies you found for me are all pretty good. It's really too difficult to choose."

He Yuzhu glared at her: "Don't be too greedy. You're graduating soon, so don't get involved in school matters."

Let's discuss this as soon as possible and I'll make arrangements for you. If you arrive late, the seats will be taken by someone else.

He Yushui smiled and moved closer to He Yuzhu: "Xiaoling and Sister Panpan don't want to live too far from home."

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui: "And you?"

He Yushui said with a hint of pleading, "I want to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Why?" He Yuzhu looked at her.

He Yushui explained, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs offers opportunities to travel abroad. When I was a child, you often told me about things in foreign countries, and I wanted to see for myself.”

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually a good institution, and it was less affected.

However, He Yuzhu doesn't have any connections yet.

Lin Jinghan said, "I'll go ask my dad for you."

After hearing this, He Yushui excitedly hugged Lin Jinghan and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law, you're the best."

He Yuzhu ignored the crazy He Yushui and looked at He Yuqing.

This girl is a year late; there are too many variables now. (End of Chapter)
