1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

"Forget it, why mention Jia Dongxu? Huairu, go wash the dishes. It's getting late, let's go to bed and rest." Chen Xiao said.

Qin Huairu cleaned up the dishes, took off her clothes and went to bed.

Chen Xiao was very honest today and did not make Qin Huairu unable to speak.

Although young people are full of energy, they cannot exercise every day.

Isn’t there a saying that goes like this?

Young people don’t know what is expensive???

What are you looking at and shedding tears for when you are old???

......

When Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard after sending Teacher Qian home, he saw the deaf old lady playing with the rain in his house.

"Shazhu, you're back?" the deaf old lady said lightly.

"Well, the money-giving teacher is back."

After saying that, Sha Zhu told Yu Shui to wash her face and go to bed.

After the deaf old lady saw the rain go away, she told him the purpose of her trip.

She looked at Sha Zhu seriously.

"Shazhu, you and Teacher Qian are not suitable for each other. You should cancel the marriage."

"You are still young, don't get married too early."

"Wait another two years, and I, old lady, will personally introduce you to a partner."

Without asking Sha Zhu what he thought, the deaf old lady directly asked Sha Zhu to cancel the engagement.

Sha Zhu was completely confused at this moment.

He couldn't understand why the deaf old lady would say such a thing.

He laughed at himself.

"Old lady, why do I want to break off my engagement with Teacher Qian?"

"I like her, I love her, and I want to marry her."

The deaf old woman sighed.

"Silly Zhu, just listen to the old lady's advice. You two are really not suitable for each other."

"What kind of family is that person? What kind of family is yours? They're not a good match. Do you think you two are really suitable for each other?"

These words touched Sha Zhu's heart, leaving him speechless.

What the deaf old lady said was absolutely right. His family was indeed not as well off as Teacher Qian's.

But this doesn't prevent him from marrying Teacher Qian.

"Old lady, if you really want to do this for my own good, don't ask me to cancel the engagement."

"Besides, even if you asked me to cancel the engagement, I wouldn't do so because I really like Teacher Qian!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the deaf old lady's blood rushed to her head.

Sha Zhu has really grown up. Now he even dares to talk back to me.

The deaf old lady took her walking stick and hit Sha Zhu on the shoulder.

The beating of the stick made Sha Zhu's face turn pale.

"..You...you...Silly Zhu, do you still have any conscience? Now you don't even listen to me, the old lady?"

"Have you forgotten what happened before? If it weren't for me, the old lady, you two would have starved to death long ago."

"Silly Zhu, tell me, when have I ever lied to you in all these years? I'm doing this for your own good, why don't you understand?"

Sha Zhu answered in a tough manner.

"Old lady, I told you that I will not break off my engagement with Teacher Qian."

"It's true that you helped my brother and me before, and I promised to take care of you in your old age."

"But you have no right to interfere with me regarding the cancellation of the engagement!!!"

The deaf old lady was so angry that her body was shaking.

She pointed at Sha Zhu with her crutch and said angrily.

"Okay, okay...you've grown up. You've really grown up."

Then the deaf old lady stood up angrily and walked out without looking back.

"If you don't break off your engagement with Teacher Qian, then don't bring me food anymore. From today on, the relationship between our two families ends here."

"I want everyone in this courtyard to know that you, Shazhu, are a heartless and ungrateful villain!!!"

Sha Zhu was just about to go out and chase the deaf old lady.

He jogged all the way, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up with the deaf old lady.

Even though the deaf old lady is leaning on a cane, her steps are really fast!

There was nothing to say all night, and it was early the next morning.

Sha Zhu got up from the bed, and as soon as he got up, there was a hint of sadness on his face.

What the deaf old lady said to him when she came to his house last night made him toss and turn and unable to sleep.

Sha Zhu was not an ungrateful person. The deaf old lady had been so kind to him and his brothers in the past, and he had long been prepared to take care of the deaf old lady until the end of her life.

Sha Zhu thought that the deaf old lady didn't like Teacher Qian, and there must be some misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding was resolved, the matter would end perfectly, and he would even receive the deaf old lady's blessing.

So, Sha Zhu got up early and went to the Old Drum Tower Street to buy a bag of buns. He first left a few for Yu Shui as breakfast, and then gave the rest to the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, are you up yet? I'm Sha Zhu, and I'm here to bring you some buns." Sha Zhu walked into the house with a smile.

I saw a deaf old lady in the room eating steamed bread and pickles.

Sha Zhu placed the buns in front of the deaf old woman and said to her with a smile.

"Old lady, you have bad teeth, so don't eat this steamed bread. These are steamed buns I just bought from Old Drum Tower Street. Eat them while they're still hot."

The deaf old lady snorted coldly.

"Take it away from me quickly, old lady, I can't afford your buns."

"Don't be angry, old lady. I know I said the wrong thing last night. I didn't sleep well the whole night because of this."

"Old lady, I, Shazhu, will always remember the great kindness you have shown me to my brother and me."

"Teacher Qian and I really love each other."

Sha Zhu expressed his sincerity.

Instead of being moved by this, the deaf old lady looked a little annoyed.

He knew Sha Zhu's character and knew that Sha Zhu was not the kind of ungrateful person.

But it’s different with Teacher Qian. If Sha Zhu really likes Teacher Qian, then he will definitely listen to everything Teacher Qian says.

If they really get married in the future and Teacher Qian doesn't let Sha Zhu support her in her old age, what will Sha Zhu do?

"Are you done talking? Then quickly grab your buns and leave."

"I can't afford the buns you bought, old lady."

After saying this, the deaf old lady sneered.

"old lady......"

Sha Zhu didn't know what to do at this time.

One is his favorite woman, and the other is the old man he respects the most.

Why can't the two people live in peace? Why can't the deaf old lady accept Teacher Qian?

"Don't call me an old lady. You didn't understand what I just said, did you?"

"I told you to take the buns and get out of here! Get out!!!"

The deaf old lady spoke in a harsh tone, and her chest began to twitch constantly, obviously she was very angry.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was still standing there motionless, the deaf old lady became even angrier.

She used her arms to push all the buns on the table to the ground.

Suddenly, the originally clean white bun fell to the ground and was covered with dust.

Sha Zhu was also a little angry when he saw this scene.

The deaf old lady may be angry, but she can't take it out on others by taking out her anger on the food.

Sha Zhu picked up the dusty buns on the ground one by one without saying a word, and put them all back into the bag.

Then he turned around and left with the bun.

At this point he no longer cared whether the deaf old lady was angry or not.

Because he is also very angry now.
