The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

Yi Zhonghai was extremely disgusted and wanted to say that in Liu Hao and Ye Juan's eyes, his good grandson was no different from a pile of stinking dog shit.

A toad trying to eat swan meat?

Well, with Liu Hao and Ye Juan getting married, Sha Zhu has lost all hope and will probably lower his standards and find someone more ordinary to marry.

That won't do. We need to get him another white swan to keep an eye on things, raise his standards a bit, the higher the better.

Isn't Sister Ye Juan a ready-made candidate?

Li Meihua, who had been standing silently by, waited until the deaf old woman was far away before whispering, "Husband, is the old lady getting senile? How could Sister Ye Juan possibly be interested in Sha Zhu?"

Yi Zhonghai sneered: "Ha, this old lady is shrewd. I suspect she's planning to use some underhanded tricks."

"For example, let Sha Zhu apologize to Liu Hao and Ye Juan, shake hands and make peace, then invite Liu Hao, Ye Juan and Sister Ye Juan to dinner, drink some wine and put some drugs on them, and take the opportunity to let Sha Zhu and Sister Ye Juan have sex!"

Li Meihua was stunned. Was it really that insidious?

"Uh, aren't you afraid that Sha Zhu will get beaten to death by Liu Hao, or thrown in jail?"

Yi Zhonghai took a sip of water and said disdainfully, "You're overthinking it. The prerequisite for using tricks is that Liu Hao and Ye Juan have to pay attention to these two grandparents. They don't even acknowledge them, they don't even glance at them, so how can you use tricks?"

Li Meihua nodded, recalling the way Liu Hao and Ye Juan looked at the deaf old woman and at Sha Zhu. Especially Liu Hao, who only looked down on the deaf old woman and looked at Sha Zhu as if he were a dog.

No, it should be the kind of excrement in public toilets that makes you want to vomit just by looking at it.

"Yeah, I have a feeling that Sha Zhu is going to get slapped by Liu Hao again, and the old lady might get slapped too!"

Upon hearing the word "slap," Yi Zhonghai instinctively raised his hand to touch his still-swollen face.

"A slap would be good, to wake this old woman up... Ouch!"

Yi Zhonghai, caught off guard, poked his face with his finger, wincing in pain.

Li Meihua felt extremely distressed and got up to bring the medicine over.

"Honey, tilt your head back, I'll apply the medicine for you!"

……

The main house.

The deaf old woman came in leaning on her cane. Qin Huairu had just finished cooking: cornmeal porridge and cornbread. Jia Zhangshi wasn't there. Banggeng was wolfing down his cornbread, smacking his lips as he picked up his bowl and slurped down the cornmeal porridge.

This was exactly like pigs eating food, which disgusted the deaf old woman, a respectable person.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. What kind of good thing could the grandson raised by Jia Zhangshi be?

Qin Huairu, who was feeding the locust flowers with a small bowl, saw the deaf old woman standing at the door and called out insincerely, "Grandma, you've come! Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

"No, Zhu Zi, come out here. Grandma wants to talk to you about something."

Sha Zhu was puzzled. What was going on so mysteriously?

He put down his chopsticks and said with a chuckle, "Hey, you're not allowed to eat my food! Or I'll spank you."

Banggeng glanced at Shazhu with his squinty eyes, which were mostly white with little black in them, and said disdainfully, "I don't care about anything your stinky mouth has eaten. It's disgusting."

"Hey, you're still holding a grudge, aren't you?"

Sha Zhu wasn't angry. He thought it was because he had caused the Jia family's house to collapse, scaring the boy so much that he soiled himself and made him lose face, which made the boy resentful.

It's alright, kids are like that. Their tempers come on quickly and go away even faster. They'll forget about it in a few days.

"If you hold a grudge again, I won't buy you any firecrackers for Chinese New Year."

Sha Zhu chuckled and teased, then got up and walked to the door. He helped the deaf old woman into the yard and asked expectantly, "Grandma, how did it go when you went to the steel mill to see Yang Xingguo? When can I go back to the canteen?"

"Oh dear, let me tell you, the foundry workshop is so tough and tiring! When I got off work today, my back was so sore I could barely stand up straight. If I worked there for a year, I might die before you."

"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you spouting, you idiot Zhu?"

The deaf old woman raised her cane and gently tapped Sha Zhu's calf, saying irritably, "With Grandma on the case, how could I possibly come up empty-handed? Xiao Yang has already agreed, and you should be transferred back in the next few days."

Sha Zhu grinned from ear to ear, his mouth stretching to the roots of his ears. He pulled at his bruised and swollen old face, and gasped in pain several times.

Ouch... That really hurts. I'll get that bastard Liu Hao and kill him sooner or later!

Looking at Sha Zhu's bruised and swollen face, the deaf old woman felt both sorry for him and helpless. She patted Sha Zhu's hand and admonished him, "Zhu Zi, you need to change your temper in the future. You can't do things like flipping the wok, which offends people. If you cause trouble again next time, Grandma won't be able to help you!"

Sha Zhu didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, he was just unlucky this time. He didn't notice that the person serving the food was Zhang Dapao, that bastard. If it were anyone else, what's wrong with flipping the wok? They wouldn't be faking it at all.

His culinary skills are unmatched in the steel mill; they can't do without him for hospitality meals, and that's the source of his confidence.

But in front of the deaf old lady, one still has to listen obediently.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't be a pushover anymore."

The deaf old woman nodded in satisfaction. This young man was just too stubborn and upright, but he was a good person at heart, honest, kind-hearted, and reliable.

However, it was precisely because he was too kind-hearted that he was led by the nose by Yi Zhonghai.

"Pillar, that's not what I want to discuss with you."

"What is that?"

"today……"

After the deaf old woman finished telling him about Liu Hao bringing Ye Xi back, Sha Zhu's eyes widened, blazing with excitement, and he hurriedly asked, "Grandma, is Ye Juan's sister really as pretty as Ye Juan?"

"That's right. Ye Juan, that shrewish and willful little brat, used to be quite good at pretending. She even fooled this old woman. Her sister is different. She looks like a gentle, virtuous, and well-educated girl."

Upon hearing what the deaf old woman said, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up with a green light. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and chuckled, looking as lewd as could be.

The night before last, the deaf old lady's house collapsed, and Ye Juan revealed her true nature, cursing Yi Zhonghai in a thick Northeastern accent. The next day, she beat up Jia Zhangshi. He didn't actually like Ye Juan that much.

He still prefers women like Sister Qin who are caring, gentle, and virtuous!

But deep down, he didn't want to marry Qin Huairu, who was a second-hand woman.

I, He Yuzhu, am so well-off. I'm an eighth-level chef, I've mastered the Tan family cuisine passed down through generations, my salary is 37.5 yuan, I own a three-room main house in a courtyard house with a deed, and I occasionally go out to help others prepare banquets. I'm also tall, imposing, mature, and steady. I need to marry a young woman who is no less beautiful than Ye Juan, has a job, is educated, and has a good personality to save face.

It's truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you."

Unexpectedly, Ye Juan has an older sister who is just as beautiful as her and has a gentle personality like Sister Qin.

Hey Ye Juan, I'm definitely going to be your brother-in-law, He Yuzhu!

However, his relationship with Liu Hao and Ye Juan... sigh, if I had known Ye Juan had such an older sister, I wouldn't have bothered dealing with that bastard Liu Hao.

Sha Zhu looked worried, his forehead wrinkled into a deep frown.

"Zhu Zi, don't worry, Grandma will go and ask Sister Ye Juan if she's married yet. But as far as I can tell, the way that girl walks suggests she's still a virgin and unmarried."

"Hehe, that's good. Grandma, you should go and ask. I'll just go and apologize to Liu Hao!"

"That's good. I'm relieved that you're so generous."
