After Yi Zhonghai left, the deaf old lady took a nap.
Time is unforgiving, and her life is not good now. Her health is much worse than it was at the same time.
He suffered a lot during the day, and when he came back, Jia Zhangshi didn't let him eat enough.
I wanted to wait until the evening to replenish myself, but ended up wasting a lot of brain cells.
Even the strongest man can't stand this.
The deaf old lady decided to take a rest.
She felt that since she had given Yi Zhonghai a reminder, she should at least be allowed to eat enough, if not good food.
She dozed off peacefully.
By the time I woke up from hunger, it was already late.
The deaf old lady didn't notice that Yi Zhonghai brought her food, and she was suddenly a little panicked.
She opened the door and found the backyard was pitch black, with only the thin moonlight illuminating the water stains on the ground.
Seeing all this, a trace of despair appeared in the deaf old lady's heart.
It's already this late, and Yi Zhonghai hasn't brought her any food yet. Does he want to starve her to death?The deaf old lady couldn't believe this guess, and staggered out of the door and into the middle courtyard.
It was also pitch black in the central courtyard.
Obviously, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had both gone to bed.
The deaf old lady never entered Yi Zhonghai's home again.
The lights have been turned off and it’s time to go to bed. What’s the point of her going in?
If she makes a fuss, everyone in the courtyard will know that Yi Zhonghai, her godson, is no longer filial to her.
The deaf old lady looked at He Yuzhu's house in confusion. After a long time, she walked towards the backyard with her crutches.
When passing by Xu Damao's house, I accidentally bumped into Xu Damao's bicycle.
The noise startled Xu Damao.
The guy asked in a daze, "Who is it?"
The deaf old lady did not respond. She walked around and went home.
Silence returned to the yard.
In the entire No. 95 courtyard, only Yan Bugui's house in the front yard had the lights on.
The third aunt said distressedly, "You haven't finished writing yet? The candle is almost burned out."
Yan Bugui was reluctant to turn on the light, so he lit a candle and wrote the letter of denunciation under the candle.
He said to the three aunts in dissatisfaction: "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm almost done."
The third aunt said, "Why are you so anxious? You can eat well and wear well, but if you don't plan well, you will be poor.
If you write a letter of denunciation and get Sha Zhu removed from office, our family won't gain anything.
Don’t you think you’ve lost a lot?”
Yan Bugui naturally knew that he was losing money, but he would be unhappy if he didn't write the letter of complaint.
He celebrated with He Yuzhu with good intentions, but He Yuzhu not only refused to treat him to a drink, he also called him a dog.
No, it was calling him worse than a dog.
Tolerable or unbearable.
As the only teacher in the courtyard, if he doesn't teach He Yuzhu a lesson, how will he be able to survive in the courtyard in the future?
This time we must bring He Yuzhu down.
"Who said there's no benefit? If I don't let them know how powerful I am, the brats in the yard will step on my head.
Sha Zhu looked down on me, that bastard Xu Damao played tricks on me, and even Miao Jianye, a new arrival, dared to go to school to cause trouble for me.
If I retreat again, will our family still be able to survive in the courtyard?"
The third aunt couldn't persuade Yan Bugui, so she had to give up and urged him to write faster.
Yan Bugui said, "I understand," and continued to write the letter of complaint.
If I’m not satisfied with a letter, I’ll tear it up and write a new one.
Yan Bugui has never done anything so recklessly.
The next morning, he was the first one to get up. After going out, he put the letter in the mailbox.
When I got home, Auntie had already gotten up and started cooking.
"What time did you write last night? Why are there no candles in the house?" Yan Bugui pointed his finger and shushed, "Shut up, are you afraid that others will not know that I wrote the report letter?"
The third aunt immediately lowered her voice: "I just want to ask, we are out of candles at home, do you want to buy some?"
Yan Bugui immediately said, "Wait a minute, when the kids get up, ask them for money, and then collect the money and buy it."
The three aunts nodded, indicating that they understood.
Yan Bugui thought for a moment and said, "If Lao Yi and Lao Liu ask me, you can say that I was correcting students' homework yesterday and didn't have time to write it."
The third aunt was puzzled: "Why? If we don't tell Lao Yi, who will make up for our family's losses?"
Yan Bugui whispered: "I'm telling you, the report letter I wrote this time will definitely get Sha Zhu fired.
If Sha Zhu knew about this, he would hate our family to death.
So this matter must be kept secret. No matter who asks, just say I didn’t write it. Don’t let it slip.”
The third aunt said she knew and continued cooking.
Yan Bugui calmed himself down and went to stand guard at the door.
Early in the morning, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong went out once and saw Yan Bugui, but no one asked him about the letter of complaint.
Yan Bugui felt guilty and did not dare to mention this. He did not think that these two people did not write it at all.
In his opinion, the person who was most unhappy about He Yuzhu becoming an official was Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to come to him yesterday, and he would definitely not forget to write a letter of denunciation.
Yi Zhonghai really forgot.
Under the planning of Qin Huairu, the military advisor, he felt that the great event had been accomplished. This time, he was going to let Yan Bugui down.
Yi Zhonghai came back from the toilet and saw Yan Bugui. Thinking of his promise to Yan Bugui, he said with a little guilt: "Don't worry, I will help you deal with Miao Jianye in a few days."
When Yan Bugui heard this, he felt that Yi Zhonghai must have written a letter of denunciation, otherwise where would Yi Zhonghai get such confidence from.
Since Yi Zhonghai is so confident, it's just right for him to take the blame.
"Thank you, Lao Yi. I'll buy you a drink when I have the chance."
Yi Zhonghai was shocked. He could drink other people's wine, but not Yan Bugui's wine.
"Forget it. I'm quitting drinking."
Yan Bugui looked like he was fooling a fool. He could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Yan Bugui would pester him, so he returned to the Intermediate Court.
Qin Huairu happened to be in the yard and came over.
Yi Zhonghai said, "I drank too much yesterday and forgot to ask the old lady about dinner. Did Sha Zhu bring her dinner?"
Qin Huairu thought that the deaf old lady did not make a fuss, so she felt that she must have eaten it.
"No, I think Shazhu must have secretly sent it to the old lady. The old lady ate the good food herself, she should at least tell us.
We can't snatch her away."
Yi Zhonghai felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense, and he also felt dissatisfied with the deaf old lady.
But he didn't say it out loud.
Filial piety is his personality, and this personality cannot be broken.
"It's understandable that the old lady has difficulty walking. Please prepare some food for her and I'll bring it to her later."
Qin Huairu felt a little reluctant, thinking that there was no need to prepare since He Yuzhu was delivering meals to the deaf old lady.
"Shazhu has steamed buns at home. He will definitely send them to the old lady later. Should I still make them?"
Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided to cook. He couldn't refuse to give food after He Yuzhu gave it to him, because that would make him seem unfilial.
“Whether to eat or not is the old lady’s problem, whether to send it or not is our problem.
If you want the old lady to speak for you, you should be nice to her. Make something good, and I'll take the meal to the old lady.
When Shazhu delivers the food, I will go with him. I will have a good talk with Shazhu and ask him to bring some lunch boxes for the old lady."
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai insisted, Qin Huairu had no choice but to agree.
Yi Zhonghai returned home and stared at He Yuzhu's house at the door.
After Qin Huairu finished cooking, He Yuzhu did not go out to deliver the meal to the deaf old lady.
He was afraid of missing it, so he asked Qin Huairu to bring the meal to his room so that he wouldn't miss it.
He Yuzhu didn't know all this. He had a toilet at home, so he didn't have to go out in the morning except to get water.
He prepared the meal and ate it directly at home. (End of this chapter)
