After seeing Jia Dongxu off, Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard and told Jia Dongxu his reasons.

The deaf old lady still had a gloomy face, obviously not believing this reason.

On the surface, this reason is fine.

He Yuzhu eats delicious food every day and never sends any to the Jia family.

Given Jia Zhang's temper, scolding He Yuzhu eight hundred times a day would be considered a light punishment.

But who can guarantee that Jia Zhang won’t scold them?

"Do you really believe what Dongxu said?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly: "Old lady, what can we do if you don't believe me? Can we turn against the Jia family?
Even if we fall out, the life of the Jia family will not be affected.

But what about our retirement?
In the entire courtyard, only Pu Dongxu and Huairu are the most suitable to take care of us in our old age. We cannot rely on anyone else."

The deaf old lady blurted out: "Shazhu is also OK?"

After she said this, she regretted it. She didn't know why she said this, but she just said it out loud because she had this impulse in her heart.

Although she regretted it, she felt particularly relieved, as if things were supposed to be this way.

Yi Zhonghai's face changed drastically, and he said with great sorrow: "Old lady, you are so stupid. How can a man like Sha Zhu provide for us in our old age?

He has no filial piety at all and beats the elderly at every turn.

Would you dare to entrust the matter of retirement to such a person?
Even if you dare, I don’t dare.”

At this time, the deaf old lady had not decided to appoint He Yuzhu as her elderly care provider. She just blurted it out on impulse.

There was nothing she could do. He Yuzhu ate delicious food every day, but she could not get any. She even dreamed of He Yuzhu serving her delicious food.

"I didn't say that we should leave our retirement to Shazhu. Dongxu is indeed the best candidate to take care of us in our old age. But he has a mother who is not easy to take care of, and the family conditions are not good, which will affect our retirement."

If there hadn't been continuous bleeding, Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have been so hesitant. The key was that after several major bleeding episodes, he simply couldn't save any money.

Every time he bleeds, his confidence in Jia Dongxu is shaken.

"But we have no choice."

Yes, they have no choice.

Precisely because they have no choice, they can only go down the same path to the end.

The deaf old lady sighed: "It would be great if Shazhu could be obedient. I don't ask him to be filial, as long as he brings me some food every now and then, I will be satisfied."

Yi Zhonghai was a little moved, and then he smiled bitterly. Not to mention sending gifts to the deaf old lady every now and then, even during the Chinese New Year, He Yuzhu had never sent any gifts.

He Yuzhu would rather give things to irrelevant people than to the deaf old lady.

"Don't think about it. Shazhu is a born ungrateful person and he won't take care of us neighbors."

The deaf old lady said disappointedly: "Forget it, I am so old, how can I still care about a baby like Banggeng?
However, many people heard it at the time, so we can’t just let it go like this!”

Yi Zhonghai said helplessly: "If we don't do this, what else can we do? We can't let the old sister-in-law say those words to scold Sha Zhu in front of everyone!

In private, she could scold Sha Zhu as much as she wanted. But if she put this matter in the open, Sha Zhu would never let the Jia family go.

The Jia family has suffered enough, we cannot cause more trouble for Dongxu."

The deaf old lady lost interest when she heard this. As an old ancestor, she didn't get the respect she deserved, but was scolded and had to pretend not to hear. It was really embarrassing.

Yi Zhonghai took the aunt away from the deaf old lady's house.

An old lady said worriedly, "I also think it's not right to just leave like this. It will affect the old lady's prestige."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and thought for a while: "What you said makes sense. It doesn't matter if we suffer a little injustice, but we can't let the old lady's prestige be damaged.

So, I'll ask Dongxu to buy some meat buns tomorrow and take my sister-in-law to apologize to the old lady. What do you think?"

The aunt hesitated for a moment, then agreed. Given the Jia family's financial situation, they might not even be able to afford the money to buy meat buns. If they had to force the Jia family to hold a wedding banquet, that would be the death of the Jia family.

Seeing that the aunt agreed, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the wedding banquet, even the money for the meat buns would probably be paid by him.

His life isn't easy now, so he saves as much as he can.

Xu Damao leaned on the window and listened until Yi Zhonghai and the aunt went to the central courtyard, then he sat back at the table.

"I just heard an old man want to buy some meat buns to apologize to the deaf old lady."

Xu's mother said, "He is too foolish. He sent the deaf old lady away with a few meat buns?"

Xu Fugui said: "Let alone a few meat buns, even if it's just a bowl of water and a steamed bun, the deaf old lady will forgive the Jia family.

They put all their savings on the Jia family. They would endure it even if someone insulted them, let alone scolded them. "

The two looked at their son, their hearts filled with relief. Fortunately, they had a precious son.

They only remembered Yi Zhonghai's care for the elderly, but ignored the assertion of the deaf old lady. There was no filial person in the courtyard, and this was later confirmed one by one.

Xu Damao is no exception, and he is not as good as Xu Xiaoling.

The deaf old lady had a gloomy mind, but she had no problem judging people. In the whole courtyard, the deaf old lady only misjudged one person, and that was Qin Huairu. If she had seen Qin Huairu's true nature earlier, she would never have agreed to Qin Huairu marrying Jia Dongxu.

Xu Damao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice and went back to bed.

Yi Zhonghai arrived at the central courtyard and saw Jia Dongxu and his wife standing in the courtyard.

"Master, old lady?"

The lady said, "Dongxu, the old lady has forgiven you. But you should also apologize to the old lady. Tomorrow you can buy some meat buns, take your mother with you, and go apologize to the old lady."

Jia Dongxu agreed out of habit.

Qin Huairu stopped him and said, "Uncle, aunt, as the younger generation, it is indeed our duty to buy some delicious food for the old lady.

But my family really can't afford the money, can you lend us some money, and we will return it to you when Dongxu pays you wages."

Jia Dongxu suddenly realized that all the money in the family was in Jia Zhang's hands. It was already very difficult to force Jia Zhang to apologize, let alone force her to take the money.

"Master, I will definitely pay you back after I get paid."

The aunt was a little unhappy, but Yi Zhonghai had long been bewitched by Qin Huairu's seductive eyes: "Cui Lan, go home and get 10,000 yuan. Get this matter over with as soon as possible, and don't let others laugh at you."

Yi Zhonghai is the head of the family and the main earner of money, so the aunt had no choice but to agree.

Although Jia Dongxu and his wife complained that the money was too little, they had no choice but to take the money and go home to persuade Jia Zhang.

"Mom, come with me tomorrow to apologize to the old lady."

"I won't go. Why should I apologize to that dead old woman?" As expected, Jia Zhang refused.

Qin Huairu didn't want to say anything, mainly because she was afraid of being beaten, so she encouraged Jia Dongxu to speak.

Jia Dongxu was afraid of offending the deaf old lady, so he tried his best to persuade her: "Do you want to continue to live a hard life? Our family cannot offend the deaf old lady."

Jia Zhang finally compromised: "You have to make sure that the deaf old lady can't hit me."

"It's okay for me to block you in front of you," said Jia Dongxu.

Jia Zhang continued to make demands: "Leave half of those meat buns for me."

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to agree to this condition. The money Yi Zhonghai gave was not much to begin with, and the deaf old lady's appetite might not be enough to fill her stomach. If he gave this to Jia Zhangshi, he would have no way to explain to Yi Zhonghai.

"If you continue to make trouble, I will stop caring and ask the deaf old lady to find someone to send you back to the countryside."

Faced with the threat, Jia Zhang surrendered. (End of this chapter)
