Chapter 269 Authentic
Qin Huairu walked out of the door briskly, trotting all the way to He Yuzhu, and said with a friendly smile on her face: "Zhuzi, we are neighbors living in the same courtyard, and our relationship is as close as that of family members! If you have something to ask, just call me, why do you have to run all the way to deliver it to me?"
As Qin Huairu spoke, she reached out to take the bowl from He Yuzhu's hand, but He Yuzhu dodged nimbly.
Qin Huairu's hand stayed in the air awkwardly, while He Yuzhu smiled and explained, "Sister Qin, don't get me wrong. This dish is not for you. It is specially prepared for the deaf old lady in the backyard. She is so old and has difficulty moving. As a junior, I naturally have to take care of her."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yuzhu walked towards the backyard without looking back, leaving Qin Huairu standing there stamping her feet in anger.
He Yuzhu knew that as long as he stayed here, he would be robbed by Qin Huairu, so he decided to leave quickly.
However, everything that happened between them was seen by He Feng who was quietly observing nearby.
It turned out that He Feng had been trying to figure out whether He Yuzhu had really changed and become better recently, so he deliberately did not show up.
Seeing He Yuzhu approaching his door, He Feng slowly came out from his hiding place, pretending to have just discovered the situation and asked, "Zhuzi, what are you doing?"
He Yuzhu stopped and turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw that it was He Feng, he quickly replied, "Uncle, it's like this. The deaf old lady in the backyard is old and has no one to take care of her. I wanted to send her some meat and vegetables so that she can eat better."
After hearing this, He Feng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Well, Zhuzi, you did the right thing, go and come back soon."
Although He Feng knew that the identity of the deaf old lady was not simple, the deaf old lady had indeed taken care of He Yuzhu. As for the rest, he still needed to investigate it himself.
He Feng also investigated the deaf old lady at the Public Security Bureau, but the deaf old lady's test paper was so clean that no one could believe it.
Qin Huairu originally wanted to ask He Yuzhu to stay or try to get the dishes, but when she turned around and saw He Feng, she knew that no matter what she said, it would be in vain. So, she could only pout helplessly and turned around and walked towards her house in dismay.
He Yuzhu walked briskly to the backyard, the sun shone on him, casting a long shadow. At this moment, Liu Haizhong, who had just walked out of the house, happened to see He Yuzhu.
It would be more accurate to say that Liu Haizhong discovered the bowl of food in He Yuzhu's hand rather than that he discovered He Yuzhu.
Liu Haizhong asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Zhu Zi, what is this...?"
He Yuzhu was always outspoken, and answered without hesitation: "Uncle, you see, the deaf old lady hasn't eaten yet, so I brought her some food."
Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but He Yuzhu didn't give him the chance at all. He turned around and went straight to the deaf old lady's house.
You know, Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu are not the same kind of people, they belong to different camps. At this moment, Liu Haizhong looked at He Yuzhu's back and thought to himself: This guy really doesn't take me seriously! He actually ignored my existence so much, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
However, just as Liu Hai was thinking about it, he suddenly thought of another thing - that is, He Feng is He Yuzhu's uncle! This is difficult to deal with. If he really takes action against He Yuzhu, if he angers He Feng, he will probably get into a lot of trouble.
The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the angrier he got. He almost forgot what he was doing. He could only go back first and think about what to do later.
As soon as I walked in, I was spotted by an old lady: "Didn't you go to buy vinegar? Why are you back so soon?"
Liu Haizhong suddenly remembered what he was going to do, so he nodded and said, "I just saw He Yuzhu and got mad at him. I'm going to buy vinegar now."
After saying that, he went out to buy vinegar.
At the same time, He Yuzhu had already walked to the door of the deaf old lady's house, raised his hand and gently pushed the door, and it opened. He walked into the house, wondering where the deaf old lady was at this time, and she was not lying on the kang.
"Old lady, what are you doing?" He Yuzhu shouted loudly.
The deaf old lady was obviously startled when she heard the sound. She hurriedly closed something in the kitchen, then came out and said angrily, "Oh, you silly Zhuzi, you almost scared me to death with your shouting. What are you doing?"
He Yuzhu placed the bowl in front of the deaf old lady with a smile on his face, and said softly, "Old lady, I brought you some delicious meat! You love meat the most, so try it while it's hot."
The deaf old lady nodded slightly to show her agreement. She responded in a gentle and slightly hoarse voice: "Zhu Zi, you are such a good boy. Put the bowl on the table first. I just finished sweeping the floor. I need to rest for a while before enjoying this delicious meal."
He Yuzhu didn't think too much after hearing this. He nodded and turned away. However, just after he left, the deaf old lady gently wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and then slowly walked to the kitchen door. She stretched out her hand and gently pushed, and the seemingly ordinary kitchen door was opened. Unexpectedly, there was a dark and deep tunnel entrance hidden in the kitchen! This secret tunnel was unknown to other residents in the yard.
The deaf old lady couldn't help but rejoice inwardly: "Oh, it's a good thing that He Yuzhu didn't notice the existence of this tunnel. Otherwise, if he had discovered it, it would have been difficult for me to take subsequent actions!" After that, she carefully closed the door of the tunnel, as if she was afraid that anyone would notice anything.
The deaf old lady also reminded herself to close the door when entering the kitchen in the future. If something like what happened today happened, it would be really bad if someone came in and discovered the tunnel again.
After doing all this, the deaf old lady turned around and her eyes fell on the dining table with a bowl of meat on it. She stared at the bowl of meat, with a trace of emotion and relief on her face, and murmured to herself: "He Yuzhu has always been caring and taking good care of me. It is rare to find such a kind and filial person. In this case, after I die, I will leave this house to him as a token of my love..."
