Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"You're thirty years old, can you stop being so jumpy and be a little more composed?"

"When Lou Xiao'e was a young woman, she could marry Xu Damao. Now that she's divorced and possibly pregnant, why can't she marry you?"

Do you think you're inferior to Xu Damao?

He Yuzhu snorted.

"I'm not as good as him?"

"What a joke! I'm better than him, I can't die!"

The deaf old lady continued.

"That's settled then. Listen to me, I've thought it all through."

"I'll find an excuse to call Lou Xiao'e into the courtyard later and have her keep me company for a few days."

"While Xu Damao is too afraid to go back to the hospital right now, I'll help you make connections. You can spend more time with her and build a relationship."

As the old saying goes, the way to a person's heart is through their stomach.

"During this time, whenever you have free time, go to the back and cook for me. I don't expect the dishes to be fancy, but you must put your heart into it."

"As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection. Once you two have developed feelings for each other, I'll find an opportunity for you two to make this a fait accompli."

"At that time, this matter will be settled naturally, and you will become the Lou family's new son-in-law."

"At that time, you can use the Lou family's influence to find a decent job and gradually make your He family's reputation shine."

He Yuzhu shook his head and refused.

“Grandma, this won’t do. I can’t raise Xu Damao’s son.”

The deaf old lady looked at her son with anger at his lack of ambition.

"My grandson, are you stupid? Can't you use your brain a little?"

"Yes, there is a high probability that Lou Xiao'e is pregnant, and there is a high probability that she is carrying Xu Damao's child."

"But don't forget, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao divorced. Xu Damao cheated on her first, and now he's remarried."

"Neither Lou Xiao'e nor the Lou family will allow this child to be associated with Xu Damao."

"So your chance has come. As long as you win over Lou Xiao'e and marry her, you can then announce to the outside world that this is your child."

"When asked, just say that you two got together after she divorced Xu Damao, and that the child has absolutely nothing to do with Xu Damao."

"In this way, to outsiders, it will appear that your He family has an heir, and isn't it good that Xu Damao's son will take care of you in your old age?"

"Then you can move out of the courtyard house and go directly to the Lou family to become a nominal son-in-law under the guise of taking care of the two elders."

"Over time, your relationship with the Lou family will far surpass that of the Lou family's other sons-in-law."

"In twenty years, Lou Xiao'e's parents will be in their seventies, and you will have taken control of the Lou family."

"If you feel resentful, or if you say that Lou Xiao'e was not pregnant."

“Then you can simply have Yushui adopt a child and then pass on your family property to him. That wouldn’t count as having an inheritance.”

"No matter what, Rainwater's son is just like your son, and he also has half of the He family's bloodline."

He Yuzhu was dumbfounded. He felt that this was the first time he had ever met his grandmother, this deaf old lady.

He was truly stunned to learn that such a long-term plan came from an elderly man over eighty years old.

"You don't need to worry about the Lou family disagreeing with your marriage. As long as you get married, there's nothing that can't be done."

"If Lou Xiao'e's father really disagrees, then have your father deliver that item to Lou Xiao'e's mother."

"With that item, I think she'll agree, and then she can persuade Lou Wanshan."

He Yuzhu asked.

"Something, what?"

"That's what the deaf old lady said."

"Now that your father is back, I might as well tell you. That thing is your He family's ancestral recipe."

He Yuzhu asked in confusion.

"menu?"

"I do not know how?"

"That's what the deaf old lady said."

"It's normal that you don't know, because this recipe was approved by Empress Dowager Cixi of the previous dynasty."

He Yuzhu was stunned once again, never expecting that his family had such a thing.

This would have been a valuable item in the past, but nowadays it's a real pain in the neck.

It's one thing if it's from the previous dynasty, but it was even personally approved by Empress Dowager Cixi.

If people with ill intentions found out about this, they would surely smear their family with a terrible label.

Even if they are now third-generation farm laborers, they cannot withstand this huge shock.

"Grandma, let's just forget about it. I really don't have any feelings for Lou Xiao'e."

"Besides, after saying so much, have you forgotten someone?"

The deaf old woman thought to herself that she had already considered everything that needed to be considered, and there was no one she had forgotten.

She thought of Lou Wanshan, Tan Shi, and even Lou Xiao'e's sister and brother-in-law.

Whom did I forget?

He Yuzhu chuckled.

"My dear grandmother, have you forgotten about Cao Xu, the son of your neighbor Uncle Cao?!"

The deaf old lady slapped her forehead and said.

"Oh right, how could I forget about him?"

"This kid values ​​Lou Xiao'e very much. If he were here, this matter would be really difficult to handle."

He Yuzhu spread his hands and said.

"Grandma, is that just normal 'value'?"

"That's just like Ichigo's fanaticism. I said something inappropriate and got beaten up."

"Xu Damao cheated on his wife, and this guy made the couple divorce, and then handed her over to Cheng Yuan, who gave her a thorough beating."

"In order to protect the order and save face for the Lou family, the factory didn't make a big deal out of it and dealt with it quietly."

"As a result, he then dumped Xu Damao in the toilet and had him keep an old man company for half a month."

“Xu Fugui, we saw it with our own eyes. They made the promise that night, and the next day at noon they arrested the man.”

"He's also been accused of embezzling public funds, and he's still being held in the security department. They didn't even let him go home for the Chinese New Year, saying they were afraid he'd run away."

"With someone like that in charge of things in the courtyard, I'd be crazy to go and provoke Lou Xiao'e."

The deaf old lady glared at He Yuzhu.

"You're spineless. What are you cowardly about? It's just Cao Xu."

“In that case, Grandma will pretend to be sick and stay in the hospital, and then Lou Xiao’e will come and keep me company.”

“Anyway, you’re an old lady who has to take care of Yi Zhonghai. I’ll call him to the hospital. You’re not working now anyway, so just keep going to the hospital.”

clap clap clap...

Before He Yuzhu could speak, a round of applause rang out, and then Cao Xu and Lou Xiao'e walked over.

"Deaf old lady, you really have a good plan."

"I've really learned something today. The sage's saying, 'An old man who doesn't die is a thief,' is exactly what he meant by a person like you who has no virtue."

Lou Xiao'e, filled with anger, said after realizing the true nature of the deaf old woman.

"Grandma, I've always respected you so much."

"I never expected you to be this kind of person. You've really gone too far and are utterly shameless!"

"Utterly shameless" was the most derogatory word Cao Xu heard from Lou Xiao'e after he came into this world.

The deaf old woman schemed against Lou Xiao'e and the Lou family to pave the way for her grandson, trying to use them all as pawns in her game.

"He Yuzhu, where did you get that scarf around your neck?"

He Yuzhu was still shocked by Cao Lou's appearance, and subconsciously replied when Lou Xiao'e asked him a question.

"My grandma gave it to me."

In the original drama, the deaf old woman used the trick of delivering shoes and locking the door; who would have thought that this time she'd be even more calculating? She really isn't afraid of divine retribution!

Lou Xiao'e couldn't contain her anger when she heard He Yuzhu's answer. She pointed at the scarf and questioned him.
