Chapter 278 Deaf Old Lady
After thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai decided to change his destination and walked straight to the deaf old lady's house.
After all, today is the Chinese New Year, and he wants to visit the old lady to see how she is doing.
After all, he was able to gain a foothold in the courtyard thanks to this deaf old lady, so Yi Zhonghai was responsible for the deaf old lady's three meals a day.
Yi Zhonghai walked through the front yard and came to the backyard. At this moment, he happened to meet Liu Haizhong coming out. Yi Zhonghai immediately smiled and greeted him warmly: "Old Liu, Happy New Year!"
Liu Haizhong heard the greeting and nodded slightly in response. This year was indeed a good year for him, because he was successfully promoted to the head of the hospital, which made him feel proud and satisfied.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai at this moment, he looked somewhat proud and asked, "Old Yi, you look so hurried, what are you going to do?"
Yi Zhonghai said with a faint smile on his face: "It's almost the New Year, I was thinking of going to the deaf old lady and inviting her to my house for a meal of dumplings."
Liu Haizhong nodded to show his understanding, and then asked, "Oh? Then He Yuzhu didn't ask the old lady to come over this year?"
You have to know that in the past, Liu Haizhong was still very envious of Yi Zhonghai at this time. After all, He Yuzhu was a cook and the whole family ate at He Yuzhu's house.
It seems that after He Feng came back this year, he didn't invite Yi Zhonghai. He really deserved it.
Yi Zhonghai shook his head lightly and sighed, "Alas, things are different now!"
Liu Haizhong didn't understand the reason for a moment, staring at Yi Zhonghai with a puzzled look on his face, and urged: "Old Yi, don't keep us in suspense, what's going on?"
Seeing that the time was right, Yi Zhonghai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smug look, and slowly said, "It's all because of He Feng. I don't know what he said to He Yuzhu, but since then, He Yuzhu has ignored everyone."
After hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded thoughtfully, but soon regained his composure, glanced at Yi Zhonghai calmly and said, "Is that so? Fine then. I'll go back first."
In fact, Liu Hai knew very well in his heart that he didn't want to get involved in such matters. What's more, He Feng was the director of the Public Security Bureau, so there was no need for him to cause trouble.
Yi Zhonghai was secretly delighted when he saw this, thinking that he had finally revealed the news to Liu Haizhong. Then, he turned and walked towards the deaf old lady's house.
However, when he stepped into the house, the scene in front of him almost made him suffocate with anger. He saw that the house was filled with a lot of delicious food, and not only that, there was also a plate of steaming dumplings on the table.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady with a smile on his face and said kindly: "Old lady, Happy New Year, good health, and everything goes well!"
The deaf old lady's wrinkled face bloomed with a kind smile. She tilted her head slightly, as if trying to hear what Yi Zhonghai said. After a while, she responded: "Oh, it's Xiao Yi, Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Have you eaten?"
Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly and replied, "I've already eaten, old lady. Who brought you all these things?"
When the deaf old lady heard this, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. She raised her hand and pointed at the table, and said happily: "Who else could it be? It's that Zhuzi. This child is very filial. He comes to see me every now and then and brings me some delicious food and drinks."
Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction of the deaf old lady's finger, and saw the table filled with all kinds of food and gifts. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, He Yuzhu is a good boy, why is he so stubborn with Qin Huairu.
Yi Zhonghai nodded and said sincerely: "Well, Zhuzi is a really good kid. He has always been thinking about you. Old lady, you should enjoy He Yuzhu's blessing while you are still strong."
The deaf old lady smiled and responded, "Yes, yes, I am old and can live to this day, all thanks to the good care of these children. By the way, Xiaoyi, come and try this meat, it tastes delicious."
As she said that, the deaf old lady picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and handed it to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai naturally understood that the deaf old lady was just being polite, so he waved his hand and declined, "No, no, old lady, enjoy it slowly. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you for now."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned and walked out the door.
After Yi Zhonghai left, the deaf old lady slowly put down her chopsticks, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She said to herself: "Alas, I haven't finished my work yet, so I don't have the time to care about those messy trivial matters. As long as He Feng doesn't interfere with me, I will tolerate him for now."
He Feng really drank a lot this time, and his originally clear mind gradually became blurred. He Yushui, who was sitting next to him, looked at He Yuzhu, who was already drunk and unconscious, with concern, and couldn't help but wonder: "Uncle, do you think my brother has really gotten better?"
He Feng shook his heavy head, trying to keep himself awake, and said slowly: "Well... it's hard to say, let's wait and see. I drank too much today, so I have to go back and rest. After two days, I will know whether He Yuzhu has gotten better." After that, he stood up and staggered towards the door.
He Yushui nodded sensibly, stood up and sent He Feng out the door, then gently closed the door and turned back into the house.
At the same time, Xu Damao's home was also bustling with activity. Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smug look on his face, boasting: "Xiao'e, I have good news for you! Now I am Director He Feng's man! In the future, in our courtyard, let's see who dares to bully me!"
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao disapprovingly and said angrily, "Come on! He Feng and He Yuzhu are a real family. Don't flatter yourself."
Xu Damao didn't care. He smiled and retorted, "How can you be so stupid, woman? Don't you know that He Yuzhu has always been very close to Qin Huairu?"
Xu Damao had been outside and had no idea what had happened in the courtyard.
Lou Xiao'e stared at Xu Damao and responded unhappily, "Humph! You are probably still in the dark! He Yuzhu has stopped talking to Qin Huairu a long time ago. You work in a steel mill, but you don't even know this!"
