Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 53 Tacit understanding
"I'm not sure about that, but I think so. Given the old guy's character, if it really was a problem with an aunt, he would have found someone else long ago." Shen Zhiyu questioned Yi Zhonghai's character.

Xu Fugui was also well aware of Yi Zhonghai's character, and the two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

Yi Zhonghai’s extinction story needs to be promoted again.

While the two were chatting, they found that Yi Zhonghai stopped a passerby, said something to the other person, and seemed to have stuffed money into the other person's hand.

Xu Fugui and Shen Zhiyu looked at each other, wondering what this old guy was going to do.

Within two minutes, a passerby entered the hospital. Xu Fugui signaled him to follow him to see where he was going.

I felt something was wrong and found myself in the ward where Xu Damao was.

Finally, the man was seen calling Lou Xiao'e to the corridor, saying a few words to her and then leaving.

"It's Xiao'e. What do you want to do with Xiao'e?" Xu Fugui couldn't figure it out.

Shen Zhiyu quickly turned his brain and combined it with the TV series "Qinman" he had watched in his previous life. He instantly thought that it should be the deaf old lady looking for Lou Xiaoe, definitely for Sha Zhu.

"Uncle Xu, I guess Yi Zhonghai listened to the deaf old lady and went to find Sister Xiao'e."

"how to say?"

"I guess the deaf old lady thought Sister Xiao'e was naive and wanted to trick her into writing a letter of apology."

Xu Fugui also thought it made sense and immediately prepared to ask Lou Xiaoe.

"Xiao'e, why did that person look for you just now?" Xu Fugui asked directly.

"Hey, this deaf old lady is the same. Damao is in this state, but she still wants to eat cakes. She even asked someone to tell me to go back to the courtyard tonight and give them to her."

"This old beggar woman is such a piece of shit." Xu Fugui cursed.

"Father-in-law, the old lady is a military martyr's relative after all. Her family members sacrificed their lives for the country, and she herself even made straw sandals for the Red Army! I think she deserves it, and you..." Lou Xiao'e couldn't continue. She must have felt that her father-in-law was not a good person, but she was just embarrassed to say it out loud.

Xu Fugui continued to curse: "She is a shitty military martyr's relative. She even made straw sandals for the Red Army. An old lady with bound feet, flying to the south to deliver straw sandals?"

Shen Zhiyu knew that the deaf old lady was not a family of military martyrs, so he was not surprised. Seeing that Lou Xiaoe still didn't understand, he helped explain: "Sister-in-law, families of military martyrs all have plaques. You see, my family has a plaque for the military family and a plaque for second-class hero. The deaf old lady doesn't have any of these. She is not a family of military martyrs at all. Besides, the staff of the street office and the armed forces visit the families of military martyrs every year. When have you seen people take the initiative to visit the deaf old lady? Occasionally, street staff come to visit her, but Yi Zhonghai misinterpreted it and it became a special visit to the deaf old lady."

"I heard everyone in the hospital say that the deaf old lady was a military martyr's relative, and I thought it was true!" Lou Xiao'e said in shock.

Xu Fugui felt it necessary to tell Lou Xiaoe the details of the deaf old lady, otherwise his wife would be deceived by her sooner or later.

Besides, Shen Zhiyu also doesn't get along well with the deaf old lady and others. After knowing the situation, he can create another opponent for them.

Xu Fugui immediately recounted the deaf old lady's resume. This deaf old lady had a very rich resume, otherwise she would have had such a firm control over Jia Zhang.

Shen Zhiyu felt that he had made a good deal by visiting Xu Damao today, and was thinking about how to take revenge on the deaf old lady and others.

While I was thinking, I heard Xu Fugui say, "Although this old beggar woman has this relationship, she will not care about her after she has paid back three favors. She has already used up two favors. This time she doesn't want to use favors to save Sha Zhu. She wants to trick you into saving Sha Zhu."

"This old lady is so mean. I will never pay attention to her again. I will not save such a bad person as Sha Zhu!" Lou Xiao'e said dissatisfiedly.

Shen Zhiyu heard the most important news so far. The deaf old lady had only one last favor left. He felt it necessary to help the deaf old lady to get rid of this favor. Sha Zhu hadn't even joined the gang yet, how could he be offline so quickly? He was such a good person.

"Uncle Xu, I think you can urge the police to speed up the investigation. You need to make the deaf old lady feel a sense of urgency so that she can use her favor as soon as possible."

Xu Fugui nodded calmly. He also felt that he could not wait any longer and had to take the initiative and not give the deaf old lady time to react.

As the apple of Lou Zhenhua's eye, Lou Xiao'e has been well protected since childhood. She has never been exposed to the harshness of society and has very limited understanding of human nature.

People like the deaf old lady, even if they are sold, still have to count the money for others.

Originally, she should have married someone with the same level of knowledge and similar life background as her.

It's just that society changed too fast, and the establishment of the new flower-growing family made the capitalists lose their former status. In order to survive, Lou Zhenhua chose to marry her to a worker.

In this way, the mother of Xu Damao, a servant of the Lou family, took advantage of her foresight and brought Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e together, and married her to a courtyard house that was completely unfamiliar to her.

Lou Xiao'e should have had some aspirations at first, but unfortunately the real world was completely different from the romance novels she had read.

Xu Damao is not a good match as the two have very different living habits.

However, at this time, Xu Damao felt admiration for Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao's mother was a servant of the Lou family. When Xu Damao was a child, he must have met Lou Xiao'e. For Xu Damao, being able to marry the high and mighty young lady at that time was a blessing he had earned in eight lifetimes.

After they got married, Xu Damao was responsible for cooking, while Lou Xiao'e just did the housework.

Due to Lou Xiao'e's special status, she could not go out to work and stayed at home.

As the daughter of Lou Zhenhua, she naturally has no shortage of money, and her living standard has always been good.

The deaf old lady is a greedy person, and she is Lou Xiao'e's neighbor. With her means, she can easily control Lou Xiao'e.

Just like that, a naive girl was targeted by an old pervert. It would be strange if she wasn't fooled.

She spent more time with the deaf old lady than with Xu Damao. Under the subtle influence of the deaf old lady, Lou Xiao'e had great respect for her and thought she was a noble person.

Now, after hearing what her father-in-law said, the deaf old lady was an unchaste woman with bound feet and was not worthy of respect at all. This completely shattered Lou Xiao'e's three views.

It was not until this time that she realized that the deaf old lady had treated her as a fool, and she was very dissatisfied.

At this point, the deaf old lady's attempt to rescue Sha Zhu through Lou Xiao'e completely failed.

Even so, Xu Fugui was still worried and told Lou Xiao'e not to return to the courtyard in the near future to avoid being fooled by the deaf old lady.

He knew that given the influence of his relative Lou Zhenhua, if the deaf old lady still wanted to plot against Lou Xiao'e, it would not only make her a laughing stock, but might also bring about his revenge.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If Lou Zhenhua really goes all out, the deaf old lady and others will definitely not end well.
