Chapter 91 Return to the Cellar

After eating at Wu Bangming's house, Sha Zhu took He Yushui home. He wanted He Yushui to stay at Wu Bangming's house, but the little girl missed the delicious food at home and insisted on going back with him.

When he returned to the courtyard, he rarely saw Yan Bugui. He Yushui even looked over there curiously.

Because the doors to the other two courtyards were sealed, more people came in and out of the gates. When they saw Sha Zhu, they greeted him in a friendly manner.

Sha Zhu also responded with a smile, but he didn't know how long this friendliness would last. But at least it was better than in his memory. In his memory, Sha Zhu and his sister were poor at this time, and even Yan Bugui, who liked to block the door, would hide when he saw them.

Everyone avoids him, so naturally there is no such friendliness.

He Yushui looked at the people coming and going curiously and asked, "Why do they all walk through our yard?"

Sha Zhu explained: "The gate to their yard has been blocked, so they will have to go through our yard from now on."

He Yushui nodded as if she understood, then put it behind her mind and walked towards her home.

Entering the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu could still hear the Jia family mother and son discussing. Jia Dongxu kept persuading Jia Zhangshi to give up the cellar.

Jia Zhang said directly: "I got it by my own ability, why should I give it up?"

He Yushui stopped and looked at the Jia family in confusion: "What are they arguing about?"

Sha Zhu was stunned, and then thought that He Yushui had also drunk the spiritual water for a few days, so her body had naturally been strengthened. She probably heard something.

"Don't mind other people's business, just live your own life."

Yi Zhonghai did not come out. Miao Cuilan was the only one in the room. She probably went to the backyard to ask the deaf old lady for advice.

After returning home, He Yushui curiously ran to the east ear room and took a look: "Brother, do we not have to queue outside in the future?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Yes. Once it's repaired, we won't have to go there. But we have to clean up in time, otherwise the house will smell bad."

He Yushui quickly said that he would clean it up later.

Sha Zhu didn't care about her. In this life, he would definitely not let He Yushui become the lazy girl she used to be. It was even more impossible for him to leave Qin Huairu an excuse.

In the deaf old lady's room, Yi Zhonghai kept complaining. He felt that Sha Zhu was too unreasonable and deliberately went against him.

"Godmother, we should have let He Daqing take Sha Zhu and his sister away with us."

The deaf old lady sighed, knowing that under the current circumstances, her plan to use Sha Zhu would not work.

"I'm old. I didn't expect that I was wrong about that stupid guy."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Don't say that. I didn't expect Sha Zhu to become like this. Looking at his appearance, he will definitely not listen to us. Do you still want to subdue him?"

The deaf old lady shook her head: "I wanted to take care of him, but since he doesn't want to, forget it. You can deal with him however you want in the future, and you don't have to give me face.

If a young tree is not pruned, it will not grow straight; if a person is not disciplined, he will grow old. When he has suffered enough, he will know how good it is to have the support of an elder.

I can roughly guess He Daqing's family background. Most of the money he left behind was spent by Sha Zhu. When he is out of money, he will realize the benefits of listening to us."

Yi Zhonghai originally thought so, but when he heard that the money for Sha Zhu to renovate the house was paid by Wu Bangming, he became a little hesitant.

"Doesn't he still have a master?"

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "That's just his master. With Shazhu's temper, how filial do you think he can be to his master? When his master sees through his character, will he still help him like this?"

Yi Zhonghai said that Wu Bangming's help to Sha Zhu was unnecessary. If all masters treated their apprentices like this, how could they live like this?

"I understand." The deaf old lady shook her head: "You don't understand. I thought Sha Zhu was obedient, so I wanted to train him. Since he doesn't know what's good for him, let's teach him a lesson. Doesn't He Daqing like widows? Sha Zhu is his own son, so will he inherit this attribute?"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up and he immediately understood what the deaf old lady meant.

"Shazhu is actually quite similar to He Daqing. When he grows up, he will probably hang around the widow."

Smart people need no explanation.

This is what the deaf old lady likes most about Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "What if today's incident gets out?"

The deaf old lady said nonchalantly, "I'm here, so what are you afraid of? Do you think the people in the Military Control Commission believe those unfounded stories or my words?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai became even happier: "Godmother, you are so kind to me."

The deaf old lady thought to herself, you know I’m good to you, why don’t you buy me some delicious food to honor me.

“I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”

Yi Zhonghai understood what the deaf old lady meant, gritted his teeth and said, "Old Yan cheated me out of 500,000 yuan, and I have no money left. When I get my salary, I will buy some meat to honor you."

The deaf old lady's face darkened: "This old Yan is such a jerk. Speaking of this, I have something else to tell you. Get the key tomorrow and return the cellar to Sha Zhu."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated: "The key is in the hands of Zhang's wife, I'm afraid it can't be taken out. Old Yan cheated me out of 500,000 yuan for this cellar, so I don't have to return this cellar to Sha Zhu! It's just right to buy winter vegetables later, let's put the vegetables in the cellar."

The deaf old lady knew it was not easy, but she still had to do it: "You are confused. If you don't return the cellar to Sha Zhu, it will prove that the three of you forced him to give up the house. Anyway, the cellar is for everyone to use. Can he just watch and stop everyone from using it?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai knew he was wrong. In previous years, the cellar was shared by the three families in the Central Courtyard. He Daqing did not stop him. Although this cellar was said to belong to the He family, it actually belonged to everyone.

Things that were originally available to everyone were occupied by them, which would cause public outrage.

"Godmother, I listen to you."

However, Yi Zhonghai underestimated the difficulty of getting the key from Jia Zhangshi. He and Jia Dongxu took turns trying to get Jia Zhangshi to hand over the key after two days, but they still failed.

There were rumors outside about three people occupying the He family's house, and people pointed fingers at them whenever they went out.

In desperation, Yi Zhonghai came up with a solution, which was to return the property to Sha Zhu in name only. He deliberately chose a time when there were many people around and blocked Sha Zhu's way, saying, "Zhuzi, you should calm down now. I have already made an agreement with Dongxu that the cellar is still yours."

Sha Zhu glanced towards the cellar and said, "You don't want it. Fine. Give me the key!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai said, "You don't need it now. To prevent children from entering, lock it with your brother Dongxu's key. When you need it, just tell your brother Dongxu."

Sha Zhu immediately guessed what he was thinking. He said in front of others that he had returned it to him, but in fact, he had not returned anything.

"No, that would be too much trouble. I can't use my own cellar and have to go to the Jia family for permission. If you really want to return it to me, just give me the key. If you don't want to return it, don't do this."

"Zhu Zi, why are you so stubborn? I've already told you that I'll return it to you when you need it." Yi Zhonghai said while holding back his anger.

Sha Zhu didn't want to give him face, and said directly: "You used the Jia family's lock to lock my cellar. You are giving the cellar back to me. Yi Zhonghai, don't think that you are the only smart one in the world and everyone else is a fool.

I have already said in front of everyone in the courtyard that this cellar is no longer needed. I gave it to the Third Uncle. What else do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately shouted, "Zhu Zi, don't talk nonsense. My house is in the front yard, so I don't need a cellar."
