Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

In that case, you only need 70 points to be eligible for another draw.

Li Jianjun had already planned that if he could have a close encounter with Lin Xiuying, his strategy points and sex appeal points would likely increase significantly.

After making his plans, Li Jianjun fell fast asleep.

After finishing her work, Jia Zhangshi saw Li Jianjun come out of the window, and the light in Sha Zhu's house across the street was still on.

But she didn't dare go to Sha Zhu's house, so she thought it best to go back to her own home.

At this moment, at Sha Zhu's house, Sha Zhu was sitting blankly at the table.

Li Jianjun has issued an ultimatum: they must get married the day after tomorrow, or he will expose their scandalous affair to the public.

This really troubled Sha Zhu.

"Marrying an old and ugly woman is worse than death."

Sha Zhu sat on the stool, muttering to himself.

At this moment, Yu Shui curiously asked him what was going on.

Shazhu found it incredibly difficult to talk about this.

"There's not much rain, you should go to sleep."

Since He Daqing left, Shaozhu and his younger sister have relied on each other for survival. He supported Yushui through high school with his income as a chef, and then went out to find a job.

It seems that Yu Shui is about to get married.

Only the brother and sister could truly understand the hardships they had endured along the way.

Even with such a close sister, Sha-zhu still finds it difficult to talk about his marriage.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers from her, Yu Shui went straight back to her room and went to sleep.

Sha Zhu was left alone, still in a daze.

"What should we do now?"

Shazhu felt it was inappropriate to tell anyone about this, but everyone would find out sooner or later anyway.

Since that's the case, he wanted to talk to the old lady about it and see if she had any good ideas.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu got up, opened the door, and took advantage of the moonlight to go to the old lady's house in the backyard.

The old lady was deaf, and years ago she said that her three sons had died on the battlefield.

He also provided evidence, which led to the government recognizing him as a family member of a martyr and placing him in their courtyard house.

In this era, the status of families of martyrs is very high.

Let's say that.

Even the head of the police station, the director of the street office, and the factory manager of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill would visit the old lady during holidays.

These people dared not disobey what the old lady said.

The key point is that the old lady is the oldest person in the entire courtyard and has experienced the most things.

That's why Sha Zhu came to find the old lady.

Chapter 36 The Deaf Old Lady Offers Advice

"Grandma, are you asleep?"

Sha Zhu called out after he went in, but unfortunately the old lady was deaf and couldn't hear him.

When Sha Zhu opened the door, the old lady saw it was him.

"Zhu Zi, what brings you here in the middle of the night?"

Because the old lady was a martyr's family member and had no children of her own, she treated Sha Zhu exceptionally well in order to ensure her livelihood in her later years.

Whenever the old lady has a headache or fever, Sha Zhu carries her to the hospital.

Therefore, the old lady genuinely liked Sha Zhu.

"Grandma, I've come here today because I'm facing a difficult situation and I need your advice."

Sha Zhu knew she was deaf, so he leaned close to her ear and spoke loudly.

From Sha Zhu's gestures and expressions, the old lady vaguely guessed what had happened.

"What? You're going to marry that girl from the Zhang family?"

The maiden name Jia Zhangshi is Zhang, while her husband's family name is Jia. This is the origin of her name.

The old lady was stunned when she heard what Sha Zhu said.

Sha Zhu nodded, too embarrassed to lift his head.

He was prepared to face a barrage of criticism from the old lady.

He's a 28-year-old young man, marrying a woman of grandmotherly age. If word gets out, people will laugh their heads off.

To Sha Zhu's surprise, the old lady clapped and cheered.

This left Sha Zhu somewhat bewildered.

"Grandma, are you out of your mind today? I told you I married a fake Zhang, the old lady from Banggeng, that wretched old woman."

Sha Zhu repeated what he had just said, as if afraid that the old lady was deaf and couldn't hear him.

The old lady nodded.

"I know you're talking about Jia Zhangshi."

“Zhu Zi, your grandma isn’t so deaf that she can’t hear.”

"If you ask me, it would be better for you to marry Jia Zhangshi."

Sha Zhu stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Where's the good?"

"I feel disgusted just looking at her."

Grandma Long had already gotten a bit of a tip from other people.

"Zhu Zi, I don't know why you insist on marrying Jia Zhangshi."

Sha Zhu couldn't hold back in front of the old lady and told her everything.

"Grandma, I was just confused for a moment and got together with this Jia Zhangshi."

"Later, we were caught by the security department. If we didn't get married, they would arrest us and say we were having an affair."

After understanding the whole story, the deaf old lady nodded.

“Zhu Zi, actually, if you ask your grandmother to be fair, marrying Jia Zhangshi is a good thing.”

"Think about it, Jia Dongxu died in a work accident, and his father also died in a work accident. Their combined compensation was more than 200 yuan, but it was all in Jia Zhangshi's hands."

"If you marry Jia Zhangshi, this money will be in your pocket."

Sha Zhu was truly at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

"Grandma, I have money, and I don't need to marry a wretched old woman for that money."

The old lady thought for a moment and then tried to persuade him from another angle.

“Zhu Zi, I can tell now, you like that young widow Qin Huairu.”

"Think about it, if you marry Jia Zhangshi, wouldn't that be the same as marrying Qin Huairu?"

"This is such a good deal! You get the benefits and you can marry Qin Huairu. When Jia Zhangshi dies, you and Qin Huairu can get your marriage certificate, and no one can say anything about it."

The old lady's reasonable analysis seemed to open up a new way of thinking for Sha Zhuzi.

"Grandma, old ginger is spicier. It seems you are the one who has foreseen the future."

Although Sha Zhu wasn't after the money, two hundred yuan was still a considerable sum.

Sha Zhu was overjoyed and skipped out of the old lady's house.

But when he got home and opened the door, he saw Yu Shui sitting motionless in his room.

Shazhu didn't understand why the rain was still awake so late.

"You have to go to work tomorrow, so go to sleep, Yushui."

Rain stopped Shazhu and asked him for clarification.

"Brother, I heard you're going to marry Jia Zhangshi?"

Thinking about how Sha Zhu had been stammering to her earlier that day, Yu Shui couldn't sleep.

Pushing open the door to her room, you enter Sha Zhu's room.

There was no one in the room, and Yu Shui assumed that Sha Zhu had gone on a date with Jia Zhangshi.

So when he came in, Yushui didn't give Shazhu a friendly look.

Sha Zhu, seeing the rain, was determined to get to the bottom of things. However, being a proud man, he certainly couldn't say anything.

"Whether you agree or not, this marriage is going to happen."

The emotions of the rain burst forth at this moment.

"Brother, what were you thinking? How could you go to that wretched old woman, Jia Zhangshi?"

"Do you know that what you're doing will make your neighbors laugh their heads off?"

"You're disgracing the He family by doing this?"

Rainwater was also straightforward, venting its emotions directly at Shazhu.

"Anyway, I disagree. I just don't agree to you marrying Jia Zhangshi."

The thought that she, so young, had to call an old woman "sister-in-law" made Yu Shui feel like her entire worldview had been shattered.

"There are plenty of women in the world. I have no problem with you marrying any of them, but at least find someone your own age. Even a widow would be fine."

Yu Shui knows that her brother has always liked Qin Huairu, but Bang Geng clearly states that he doesn't want his mother to marry Sha Zhu.

Now, the object of his affections has become Qin Huairu's mother-in-law.
