Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 900 Silly Question 2
Shi Guangde's accusation was told slowly in the mixture of tears and wine. Sha Zhu was stunned as he listened, and his emotions changed up and down.

Shi Guangde handed the money to Yi Zhonghai. Although Yi Zhonghai did not receive it personally, Shi Guangde put the money on the table in Yi Zhonghai's house. Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Guangde. If you have any problems in the workshop, just come to me. I haven't eaten yet. How about we have a bite together?"

Shi Guangde understood the meaning of Yi Zhonghai's words and quickly said, "No, I've already eaten. You're eating. I won't disturb you."

After Shi Guangde left the Yi family, he was in a very happy mood. He felt that there should be no obstacles in becoming a disciple this time, so he went back to do what he had to do.

But within two days, news came from the countryside that his mother was seriously ill. He hurriedly asked for leave from the workshop director and returned to the countryside. This time, his mother's condition never improved. Within a few days, his mother left this world in his arms.

After sending his mother away, Shi Guangde realized his mistake. No matter how busy he was at work, he should have sent his mother to the hospital in time. That money was really his mother's life-saving money.

It was too late to say anything now. After taking care of his mother's funeral and comforting his grandparents, brothers and sisters, he returned to the old city. Life had to go on and he had to make money to support his family. But after he started working, he found that he was still an apprentice and Master Liu was still ambiguous and avoiding him. He looked for Yi Zhonghai many times, but in the end, all in vain.

After half a year, Shi Guangde finally couldn't stand it anymore, but considering Master Yi's face, he could only go to his house at night and explain his purpose. Yi Zhonghai said with a smile: "Guangde, when did I take your money? Don't slander me. Where is the evidence?"

Shi Guangde was dumbfounded. He had been submissive all this time and did not dare to disobey Yi Zhonghai's words, but this was what he got in return. Shi Guangde did not understand why. Finally, Yi Zhonghai gave the answer and said, "As long as you worship me as your master and call me godfather, I will do my best to help you. Don't worry, I, Yi Zhonghai, will keep my word."

Shi Guangde walked out of the Yi family in disappointment. He thought of his mother, the woman who lived for her children all her life. Shi Guangde cried bitterly. Shi Guangde felt remorseful and even more hateful. That night, everything changed for Shi Guangde.

The next day, Shi Guangde went to work with a smile on his face, and worked silently as an apprentice. A year later, Shi Guangde became a junior worker with his own efforts, and was classified as a third-level worker the following year. No one knew who he learned from, and he had no master. Because of Yi Zhonghai's influence, no one accepted him as an apprentice, but they all looked at him with admiration.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai felt the danger, because he felt that there was always a pair of eyes watching him in secret, but he didn't know who it was. In fact, Yi Zhonghai felt right, that was Shi Guangde. He wanted revenge, not for the two hundred yuan, but to expose this hypocritical man.

It was the same this time. Ever since Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice left, Shi Guangde knew the reason, but he did not relax. He was observing Yi Zhonghai's apprentice in the workshop, and this allowed him to see the six roots.

When the news of Sha Zhu's promotion came out on the radio, Liu Gen started to have his own little thoughts, and Shi Guangde saw all of it, so as soon as Liu Gen asked for leave, Shi Guangde also followed suit.

In this way, Yi Zhonghai's every move was under the control of Shi Guangde. Shi Guangde told Sha Zhu everything that had happened during this period, and he was drunk and unconscious.

Sha Zhu already knew about his own affairs, but he still didn't quite understand what Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice were thinking. After sending Shi Guangde home, he was busy in the middle courtyard for a while, tidying up the house. Seeing that He Yushui hadn't come back, he turned around and went to the east courtyard and knocked on the door. After a while, Xiao Wu opened the door.

There were many people in the East Cross Courtyard today, even Fei Qing came, and brought with him a close friend of his named Yuan Chao. According to Wu Yuan Chao himself, his name was changed by his parents to commemorate his elder brother, who died on the battlefield in the north. Everyone in the room was in awe of Wu Yuan Chao, and so was Wang Zhan. Although they were still young, they still had the proper feelings.

It was the first time that so many people gathered in Wang Zhan's yard, and there were not many vegetables at home, so Wang Zhan asked He Yushui to find Aunt Sun. At this time, it was difficult to buy any vegetables, unless you knew someone in the supply and marketing cooperative, after all, they still had stock.

Aunt Sun was quite familiar with the people in the supply and marketing cooperative. She took He Yu Shui to buy vegetables. When she sent He Yu Shui back, she specifically asked if she wanted her help.

He Yushui said, "No need, Aunt Sun. My brother is here, and I don't think I can do it."

When they returned to the yard, Sha Zhu was already busy in the kitchen. A group of boys were holding physics and chemistry books and discussing something enthusiastically. Wang Li, who was standing by, looked at the excited people and quickly ran out of the main room with Jin Bao to go to the kitchen to get some food.

In the evening, everyone gathered together, talking about interesting things at school, drinking soda, and eating the delicious food made by Sha Zhu. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

Wang Zhan then realized that apart from cooking a meal for them tonight, Sha Zhu didn't say much. He just smiled and drank. Wang Zhan looked at He Yushui, and He Yushui also noticed that his brother was a little abnormal. This was so unlike him. Where did the chatterbox go?

The two of them didn't say much. They ate and drank with their classmates, and then left happily. When he and He Yushui returned to the main hall, Sha Zhu had already put all the empty plates on the table in the kitchen, waiting to be washed. Wang Zhan was about to ask Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu said, "Clean up first, and we'll tell you later. This can't be explained in a few words. I still don't understand it."

The three of them started to clean up the mess. By the time they were done and He Yushui had finished cleaning up Wang Li, the moon was already above the willow branches.

The three of them sat down in front of the fireplace, each with a cup of tea. Wang Li was lying on her recliner, reading a picture book, with Jinbao curled up next to her with his eyes closed.

Sha Zhu lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then slowly told the whole story of his contact with Shi Guangde in the past two days. After that, he looked at Wang Zhan and said, "Recently, Aunt Jia has been making trouble in the yard, either quarreling with this family or that family. Even the third and second uncles can't persuade her. I don't quite understand it now, especially because it has something to do with the old lady in the backyard. Can you help me analyze it and see if it has anything to do with me?"

Wang Zhan took a sip of tea. He was still digesting Sha Zhu's story, but he was more curious about what Sha Zhu talked about with the deaf old lady. He looked at Sha Zhu and asked directly, "I really want to know, what did you talk about with the old lady in the backyard? Brother Zhu, tell me."

"Oh, this matter is hard to explain in a few words." Sha Zhu took a deep puff of cigarette and showed an embarrassed look.
