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

Cao Xu said.

"Never mind, it's not a big deal. We'll talk about it later."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Cao Xu, who was clearly disappointed, and asked.

What do you need this for?

"Although I can't remember, my dad likes to collect these antiques."

"If you want it, I can have him ask around."

Chapter 39 Cao Xu's Secret of Time Travel, The Deaf Old Lady's Backing

Cao Xu thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay, I'll finish the drawing and give it to you later."

"Things are probably not going to be peaceful in the compound these days, so you might as well go back and stay there for a while."

Lou Xiao'e pursed her lips and said.

"Okay, I'll go back this afternoon."

Even if Cao Xu hadn't mentioned it, Lou Xiao'e was already planning to go back and stay there for a while.

What Jia Zhangshi did last night really surprised her.

Now that she has chosen Cao Xu, she naturally cannot continue to live in the same room with Xu Damao.

She had been considering her marriage to Xu Damao for some time, and the events of the past few days have made her even more determined.

Lou Xiao'e wants to divorce Xu Damao!

At the dinner table, Cao Xu first picked up his soup bowl and took a sip.

"Sis, aren't you going to ask me why I'm looking for this?"

Lou Xiao'e picked up a white steamed bun and handed it to Cao Xu.

Why should I ask if you don't want to talk about it? Wouldn't that force you to lie?

"Let alone you, even my mom has secrets she's keeping from my dad."

"If you want to tell me someday, you will naturally tell me."

Cao Xu did indeed discover a secret, which was that he suddenly remembered something.

The night before he traveled through time, he received a local package, but he was drinking at the time and signed for it without asking any questions.

It was a wooden box, and inside the box was the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup that he had drawn from memory.

He had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol at the time and didn't take it seriously. He even used it as a wine glass to hold Jiang Xiaobai.

Although it was indeed a wine cup, he was probably the only one to drink cheap wine from the Chenghua Emperor's personal wine cup.

Now that this fragment of his memory has resurfaced, he knows that the bowl is indeed an authentic piece.

But who would give a newly fired junior employee a Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup worth 200 million?

Could his time travel be related to this chicken cup that appeared out of nowhere?

Cao Xu picked up a piece of chicken and put it in Lou Xiao'e's bowl.

"I'm not sure about this yet. I'll let you know once I've found out."

By the way, Cao Xu ate another chicken from the Xu family.

This morning, after Lou Xiao'e woke up, she took it out of its cage and killed it.

When Cao Xu returned at noon, the chicken was already in the pot.

According to Lou Xiao'e, they couldn't let outsiders benefit from this anymore.

However, Cao Xu knew that Lou Xiao'e was doing this to help him recover from his exhaustion.

Xu Damao brought back two chickens from his trip to the countryside, but the chicken was eaten by Banggeng and his sister yesterday.

Sha Zhu's stewed chicken in a clay pot was confiscated by the security department, and it's probably on their dinner table now.

It was just a pity for Xu Damao; he didn't get to eat a single bite of the two old hens he had gone through so much trouble to bring back.

Lou Xiao'e ate the chicken with a happy expression, and then she thought of Sha Zhu, who had been arrested.

"By the way, how far has your security department gotten in the investigation of Sha Zhu's matter?"

"What are your factory's plans for dealing with Sha Zhu? Will he be arrested and imprisoned?"

Cao Xu said.

"Almost everything that was reported has been confirmed, and it amounts to about 1,300 yuan."

"Normally speaking, Sha Zhu would have to stay in there for at least ten years."

"However, this matter involves multiple departments, including the staff canteen, security department, procurement department, and logistics department."

"The steel mill has now secured supply orders for some materials in the subway project."

"In order not to affect the overall production, the factory probably won't hand Sha Zhu over to the public security authorities."

"It's hard to say how the factory will deal with him right now."

"You saw that the old man just went to see the deaf old lady. It looks like the old lady is going to ask someone to plead for her."

Lou Xiao'e was not surprised at all.

"Yes, the deaf old lady treats Sha Zhu like her own grandson. She won't just stand by and watch something happen to him."

"If she were to ask that person for help, Sha Zhu might actually escape this predicament."

Cao Xu originally intended to destroy Sha Zhu, but after the subway project was announced today, Cao Xu knew that this plan was probably not going to work out.

Even so, Cao Xu was no longer going to let him off so easily. Didn't the deaf old lady and the others want to keep his job?

Then he might as well just destroy his livelihood. Once he's publicly dismissed for theft, his life as a simpleton will be ruined.

Once Sha Zhu is crippled, he doesn't believe Yi Zhonghai can still rely on him.

However, it remains a mystery who the powerful figure behind the deaf old lady is.

"Sister, do you know who the deaf old lady is looking for?"

"He is a leader in the city, and he is a comrade-in-arms with the deaf old lady's son."

"After that war, only that leader survived from their group."

"Over the years, this leader has been taking care of the families of his former comrades-in-arms, and the deaf old lady is one of them."

..................................................................

After having dinner and resting for a while, Cao Xu prepared to go to work, while Lou Xiao'e returned to the Xu family home, packed her clothes, and prepared to go back to her parents' home.

As soon as he entered the factory, he saw an old man helping a deaf old woman down from the factory office building.

"Grandpa, Grandma, how's it going? Is the matter resolved?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said with pride.

"Does that need to be said?"

"The old lady personally took charge, they..."

The deaf old lady grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand, signaling him not to continue.

For some reason, the deaf old lady still harbored a slight suspicion about Cao Xu.

She didn't know why, it was just a gut feeling.

"What, Grandma, you're still keeping this from me?"

"I also hope that Sha Zhu can get out as soon as possible. If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask."

The deaf old lady smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed.

“Cao Xu, Grandma, I know you’re a good boy.”

"Your father is tolerant, generous, and kind, while your mother is kind-hearted and compassionate, a doctor with a benevolent heart."

“You were educated by them, so you have definitely surpassed them.”

“Yesterday I asked your uncle to come find you, but you weren’t there, so some things didn’t get through.”

"Now I'm going to say it again in front of your uncle."

"Regarding your relationship with Yushui, Shazhu was indeed wrong. You were right to hit him yesterday; it was as if you were disciplining him on behalf of your parents."

"Although the matter is over, we still need to show an attitude of admitting our mistakes."

"How about this, when Shazhu gets out, I'll personally take him to your parents to kowtow and apologize. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing the deaf old lady's words, Cao Xu couldn't help but applaud her. Look how well she put it; she humbled herself right from the start.

If He Yuzhu could learn some of the deaf old lady's skills in dealing with people, he wouldn't have been so easily manipulated by Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai.

We still don't know what tricks the old lady has up her sleeve. Although he holds a trump card that can solve most problems.
