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

She really wanted to lie in Li Jianjun's arms and cry.

What did Lou Xiao'e do to deserve this?

However, when they returned to the old lady's house, Sha Zhu walked in by himself, and the old lady deliberately locked the door.

It was only at this point that Lou Xiao'e realized that she might have been tricked by the old lady.

Let's put all that aside for now and resolve the immediate crisis first.

Li Jianjun showed no fear whatsoever when facing Xu Damao and the old man.

"What did Lou Xiao'e do wrong? The old lady pulled her into her own house and then locked the door. Doesn't that prove anything?"

"The most innocent person in this whole affair is Lou Xiao'e."

“I can’t control what you do to other people, but I’m not happy about it being directed at Lou Xiao’e.”

At first, the old lady thought Li Jianjun was speaking up for her. But she ended up falling into a trap.

Li Jianjun, in turn, shifted the blame onto her.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, let's go. Don't stay with them, or they'll lead you astray."

Li Jianjun spoke directly to Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao stopped Li Jianjun at this moment.

“Her situation hasn’t been clarified, so Lou Xiao’e can’t leave now.”

Li Jianjun immediately became agitated and said something very manly.

"That's bullshit! It wasn't Lou Xiao'e's fault, so why should she bear the responsibility?"

"If you want an explanation, go ask the deaf old woman. What does it have to do with Lou Xiao'e?"

Li Jianjun completely shut Xu Damao down.

Then Lou Xiao'e left with Li Jianjun.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you come to my house for a meal?"

Instead of criticizing Li Jianjun's actions, people greatly admired them.

"Jianjun is a real champion of justice. Lou Xiao'e is indeed innocent, but Xu Damao just won't let her go."

"Yes, so Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao divorced, that makes sense."

After Li Jianjun and Lou Xiao'e left, Xu Damao continued to demand an explanation from the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady, pushed to her limit, blurted out a sentence.

"What's wrong with you? You little brat, I think you're asking for a beating. If you keep spouting nonsense at me, I'll have the neighborhood committee kick you out."

"Zhonghai, what are you still standing there watching for? You, as the boss, can't you control this guy?"

"Hold a general meeting for the whole department tonight. Xu Damao isn't popular in the department anyway. Vote and kick him out."

The old lady was very domineering. She believed that she had influence at the neighborhood office and that Yi Zhonghai was her godson. With the two of them backing her up, the deaf old lady was not afraid at all.

Moreover, with so many people around, the deaf old lady didn't care at all and started acting unreasonably.

This left the old man speechless.

Even if the old lady is tyrannical, she shouldn't say that in front of so many people.

The deaf old lady was also in the wrong, so the old man acted as a peacemaker and suppressed the matter.

“Xu Damao, the old lady already said that people get old and can’t hear anything. So when Sha Zhu went in, the old lady didn’t hear him and just locked the door.”

"Her purpose in locking the door was probably to prevent you from harassing Lou Xiao'e, but by some twist of fate, she locked Sha Zhu inside."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now."

Although Xu Damao was vengeful, he also knew to avoid direct confrontation.

Now the old man is clearly trying to protect the deaf old lady.

His stubbornness will only lead to his own downfall; as long as he survives, he can always make a comeback.

Xu Damao snorted and turned to leave.

"Just wait for me."

After Xu Damao left.

The deaf old woman banged her cane on his back and cursed him as she watched his retreating figure.

"Xu Damao, you little brat, even your parents wouldn't dare do anything to me, let alone you?"

"Just wait, you'll suffer the consequences sooner or later."

Even though Xu Damao had already walked away, the deaf old lady was still angry.

Yi Zhonghai shooed the onlookers away.

"Let's go, let's go, everyone go do what you're supposed to be doing, what are you all doing standing around here?"

The crowd dispersed.

Yi Zhonghai also took the deaf old lady back home.

Then Yi Zhonghai and his wife Li Xiulan started talking.

"Old Yi, the old lady didn't behave properly this time."

Yi Zhonghai also thought so.

"The old lady probably deliberately put Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu together, thinking that Lou Xiao'e would have a child for Sha Zhu."

"Sigh, I wonder who leaked the news."

"Zhu Zi is actually quite pitiful. He married an old woman but couldn't have any descendants."

Li Xiulan also felt sorry for Sha Zhu.

“Yes, it’s not good to not have any descendants. Besides, if something happens to Sha Zhu, he can still support us in our old age if he has descendants.” Yi Zhonghai and his wife had a good plan: if Sha Zhu couldn’t support them in their old age, their son would support them.

In short, we must make the most of the value of everyone in the courtyard house.

"But no matter what, the old lady's matter has been put to rest today."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, looking very worried.

Chapter 68 Yi Zhonghai and his wife's calculations

"This matter has been suppressed, but I saw that Li Jianjun humiliated me in front of so many people. That kid has become much bolder now."

Li Jianjun used to be a clerk in the security department, although this position was very rare in the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

But Li Jianjun was a rather timid person in the past.

He never spoke with any authority, and with this old man standing in the yard, Li Jianjun was nothing like the respectful person he used to be to him.

"Yeah, I wonder what's wrong with Li Jianjun lately?"

The couple were very surprised.

Li Jianjun took Lou Xiao'e home, made millet porridge for her, and even boiled an egg for her.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, eat up."

Lou Xiao'e felt deeply grateful to Li Jianjun at this moment.

It's like when dog or cat owners have to put on a dramatic show when they need to have their pets spayed or neutered.

Li Jianjun is now putting on a tragic drama, successfully playing the role of saving Lou Xiao'e.

"Thank you, Jianjun, brother."

Seeing how incredibly grateful Lou Xiao'e was to him, Li Jianjun felt that he had performed his tragic act very well.

While Lou Xiao'e was eating, Li Jianjun chatted with her.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, didn't you want to divorce Xu Damao? Why did you end up at the deaf old lady's house?"

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt a lot of grievances.

“After we came back from outside, we happened to walk to the door of the deaf old lady’s house. She said I could rest at her house for the night.”

“I didn’t want to live under the same roof as Xu Damao, so I was at her house, just about to rest. Then, out of nowhere, Sha Zhu came into my room… and then the door was locked…”

Just as Li Jianjun had guessed, the plot unfolded exactly as it had in the TV series.

However, there is now an unexpected change: Sha Zhu has already married Jia Zhangshi.

That deaf old woman dared to lock Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhuzi in the same room; she must have ulterior motives.

In this TV series, the deaf old woman claims to be a martyr's family member and lives in the courtyard.

They enjoyed a monthly salary of 50 yuan, along with food coupons, vegetable coupons, and various other benefits, and no one in the entire courtyard dared to mess with them.

She was used to being a loner and domineering person in the courtyard, and she was very arrogant and disliked everyone she saw.

Li Jianjun isn't going to confront him head-on today; he just needs to rescue Lou Xiao'e.

Now that the goal has been achieved, if the old lady really offends Li Jianjun, she'll be in deep trouble.

Li Jianjun used to be timid, but now that he's transmigrated, he doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore.

Lou Xiao'e was still in the dark, so Li Jianjun simply explained it to her.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, you're too naive. Do you really think that deaf old lady is a good person?"

Lou Xiao'e was also confused. She had always felt that her grandmother was a martyr's family member and deserved respect, so she respected her grandmother from the bottom of her heart.

Even if the old lady had schemed to get her to buy shoes, Xiao'e still thought it was because the old lady herself didn't have much money.

"What do you mean? Does the deaf old lady have some ulterior motive?"

Li Jianjun was truly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Sister-in-law Xiao'e, you are really too naive. Don't you know what the deaf old lady is up to?"

"She locked you and that idiot Zhu in the house, obviously because she wanted you to have a child with him."

"Think about it, now that Sha Zhu has married an old woman, he definitely won't have children. The old woman is usually incredibly good to Sha Zhu. She thinks of Sha Zhu in everything she does."
