Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 885 The truth comes to light
Sha Zhu understood a little bit, and he didn't ask Wang Zhan again. He just went to the East Courtyard, called out He Yushui, and took her home. He thought he should talk to his sister, maybe things would become clear.

Sha Zhu returned home, cooked a meal first, and then had a simple meal with He Yushui. He didn't drink any alcohol today as he wanted to stay sober and analyze the matter with his sister.

After dinner, the two men sat opposite each other in the main hall. He Yushui looked at her brother, who seemed to be gradually waking up and was very happy. Sha Zhu told him everything that had happened today, and also told him what Jia Dongxu had said to him.

He Yushui looked at her brother and suddenly understood the whole story. She was very surprised. She didn't expect that this seemingly honest old man would plot against her brother so deeply. But she didn't draw any conclusions. After thinking carefully, Sha Zhu smoked two cigarettes. He Yushui raised her head and asked, "Brother, do you think Yi Zhonghai plotted against you? Is there anyone else involved?"

Sha Zhu was stunned, looked at his sister, and said, "Who else could it be except him?"

He Yushui pointed to the backyard. Sha Zhu widened his eyes and asked, "How is this possible? I've been very nice to this old lady. Why would she do this to me?"

Sha Zhu couldn't accept it. The deaf old lady was involved in this matter, so he was very surprised. He Yushui said calmly: "How long have you not been to the backyard?"

Sha Zhu was stunned again, and thought about it carefully. It seemed that he had not been to the backyard much this year. He usually followed Director Li and worked hard, followed Director Li's advice, and reestablished contact with his master and fellow apprentices. Except for sleeping, he seldom came back to this courtyard. Now that he thought about it, it was not the case that after the Chinese New Year this year, one thing after another happened, and he had long forgotten the deaf old lady.

But Sha Zhu still didn't quite believe it. Looking at He Yushui waiting for her explanation, He Yushui said, "In fact, this matter may have been discussed by the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu is right about one thing. Only when you are down and out and people now ignore you, you can return to the compound and live like before. At that time, the deaf old lady will have a good grandson who will come to you for anything she wants to eat. You will also be grateful to the uncle Yi Zhonghai for getting a younger generation like you who is obedient again. Jia Zhangshi got money. Do you know why Jia Dongxu told you so much?"

Sha Zhu thought about it carefully and said, "Even if he knew the truth, he still wouldn't get anything."

"Oh, that's one point. Another point is that he wants to destroy the relationship between you and Yi Zhonghai. Only Jia Dongxu can take care of your retirement, and everything that Yi Zhonghai has can only be obtained by him. If you restore your relationship with Yi Zhonghai, he will suffer a great loss. And as for the canteen director, I estimate that it's not just an old man who is doing bad things, but Jia Dongxu has also contributed a lot. You can ask the canteen director tomorrow and you'll know." He Yushui analyzed carefully with his silly brother.

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, I will go to the canteen director as soon as I get to work tomorrow. If he doesn't tell the truth, I will go to Director Li. By the way, Director Li is delicious, right? It just so happens that I will bring the dried abalone and sea cucumber that the chef gave me. I don't believe that Director Li will not help."

He Yushui finally felt relieved and said, "You, since Yi Zhonghai has escaped this time, it will be difficult to find a chance to confront him again. Just wait and see. You will definitely not see him for a while. He may be out of town."

Sha Zhu also believed what his sister said. It turned out that Yi Zhonghai really had a chance to go out. It was said that he was supporting the machinery factory. He seemed to have heard someone in the cafeteria say so. This old guy, how could he be so slippery? Alas, Sha Zhu made up his mind to stay away from this guy.

After Wang Zhan sent Sha Zhu and his sister away, he took his sister to clean up the vegetable garden. Now it was the harvest season, and the vegetable garden was full of fruits. Cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, beans and potatoes were almost all ripe. The weather would probably get cooler in a couple of days, and it would be too late if they were not picked now.

After Jin Bao finished his meal, he lay outside the garden and watched the two siblings busying themselves. Wang Li looked at the baskets of picked vegetables and said, "Brother, is Uncle Li back yet? Should we send some to him? Oh, and there's Aunt Wang's place, too."

Wang Zhan nodded and said, "I'll ask the master when I see him tomorrow. Let's send one basket each to the street office and the police station. We can keep one basket for ourselves and send the rest to Uncle Li. If we send it there on purpose, Uncle Li will also send it to the cafeteria, so we can just give him the rest."

Wang Li nodded, and seeing that it was already completely dark, Wang Zhan and his sister did not clean up. They would do the remaining work of tilling the soil when they had time. No, they would pull those idle guys over to work together. The brother and sister washed up and rested, and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Wang Zhan pushed the tricycle and started the vegetable delivery journey with his sister. These vegetables were just picked yesterday and were so juicy that Wang Zhan received a lot of compliments. In the end, the brother and sister fled from the street office and the police station. When they arrived at Uncle Li's house, they were stopped by Grandma Li, who refused to let them go no matter what and forced them to finish dinner before leaving.

In fact, Uncle Li was still out of town and had not come back yet, so Grandma Li kept enough vegetables for two days and gave the rest to the canteen in the compound.

When they returned home at night, they found that the lock of their courtyard door was open. Wang Zhan knew that it must be He Yushui. As soon as they entered the yard, the brother and sister smelled the fragrance of food. They saw that it was Sha Zhu busy in the kitchen. He Yushui turned around and saw Wang Zhan and said, "Why are you so late? Have you eaten?"

"Oh, we have already eaten, but Grandma Li kept us busy. Brother Zhuzi's cooking skills have improved again. I can't help but taste a few more bites of the delicious food." As Wang Zhan was speaking, Wang Li, who had gone to put the dumplings away, had already run into the kitchen, took out her own bowl and chopsticks, ready to go back to the main room to wait.

"Lili, you'd better stop eating. If you eat too much, you will be the one who suffers." Wang Zhan glared at his greedy sister and warned her.

"Don't worry, I think I can eat a little more. Don't you smell the aroma of braised pork?" Wang Li said as she walked out.

"Haha, my Lili has a very sensitive nose. Don't worry, the braised pork made by my brother is absolutely amazing. I'll go over and wait. My brother also made some sour plum soup, which will be just right for drinking later." He Yushui smiled, took Wang Li's hand and walked out.

Wang Zhan leaned against the door and watched Sha Zhu who was cooking seriously, without disturbing him. If you were to ask when Sha Zhu was most focused, it would be when he was cooking. Maybe this was his talent.

When the last dish, twice-cooked pork, came out of the pot, Sha Zhu smiled with satisfaction, untied his apron, and said to himself, "All done, four dishes and a soup are ready."

Wang Zhan looked at Sha Zhu, who then noticed that there was a person standing at the door. He smiled and said, "Why, you want to steal my skills? If you want to learn, I can just teach you directly."

Wang Zhan helped Sha Zhu serve the dishes and said, "We are not of the same kind. Besides, I have a master. If I learn from you, I'm afraid my master will kick me out."

Sha Zhu laughed and said, "Let's go, try it and give me some advice."

Wang Zhan and Sha Zhu brought the last two dishes to the main room. As soon as they entered, they saw Wang Li had already started eating.

As soon as he sat down, Sha Zhu said directly: "I finally figured it out. It was exactly as you guessed, and you guessed it right. I talked to the old lady today, and she didn't deny it."
