Chapter 700 The deaf old lady is unhappy
He Yuzhu didn't think that the deaf old lady's attitude was wrong. He just wanted to have nothing to do with the Jia family.
He Yuzhu handed the braised pork in his hand to the deaf old lady: "Old lady, I made braised pork for you, please try it and see if it tastes good."
The deaf old lady sat on a chair with a kind smile on her face, and said slowly: "Zhuzi's cooking skills are really good. The braised pork tastes really good. It's just that..." She deliberately dragged out her tone, and her eyes wandered back and forth between He Yuzhu and Lu Jia.
He Yuzhu was busy picking up food for the deaf old lady. Hearing this, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, looked at the deaf old lady with a puzzled look, and asked, "Just what? Old lady, please don't keep me in suspense."
The deaf old lady raised her eyes slightly, her gaze first fell on Lu Jia, and after a moment, she turned to He Yuzhu and said earnestly: "Zhuzi, although you are a chef in the kitchen now and your cooking skills are impeccable, you are only paid as an apprentice. In the future, if you want to start a family and build a career, I'm afraid this little money won't be enough."
The deaf old lady said this with her own plan in mind. She wanted to let Lu Jia know about He Yuzhu's salary, thinking that when Lu Jia knew that He Yuzhu's salary was not high, she might be shaken in their relationship. Then she could match He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e, and things would be much easier.
However, after the deaf old lady finished speaking, she stared at Lu Jia, expecting to see her expression of surprise or hesitation. But Lu Jia seemed to have not understood anything, just looking at He Yuzhu quietly, with no ripples on her face, just sitting there quietly, like a wooden man.
How could Lu Jia be really stupid? She understood the deaf old lady's intentions immediately. But she pretended to be completely unaware. She didn't want to conflict with the deaf old lady over such a small matter, nor did she want to embarrass He Yuzhu.
The deaf old lady felt a little disappointed when she saw that her move was like a punch hitting cotton, but she quickly adjusted her strategy, turned to look at He Yuzhu, and asked, "Zhuzi, do you know where Xu Damao has been?"
He Yuzhu was confused by the deaf old lady's random talk. He looked at the deaf old lady and couldn't figure out what was wrong with her today. She kept asking weird questions. But he still patiently told her about Xu Damao: "You said Xu Damao was a bastard. He was courting death and did something shameful. He deserved to be arrested by the police. It's really satisfying."
The deaf old lady had been planning to mention Lou Xiao'e after He Yuzhu finished talking about Xu Damao. Perhaps this topic could help He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e rekindle their past relationship and develop some feelings for each other.
But what she never expected was that before she could even open her mouth, He Yuzhu excitedly pulled out a red book from his pocket and said, "Old lady, I wanted to tell you something great, but after I came here, you only talked about Damao's things."
The deaf old lady looked at what He Yuzhu was holding and asked curiously, "What is this?"
He Yuzhu's face was filled with a happy smile, and he said, "Lu Jia and I are married. Here is the marriage certificate."
When the deaf old lady heard the word "marriage certificate", her whole body was shocked, as if she was struck by thunder. She knew in her heart that her plan was completely ruined. But now that things have come to this, what else can she say? After being stunned for a long time, she pretended to be angry and said: "You, Zhuzi. After all, I am your elder. How could you not tell me about such a big thing as your marriage? It's too unreasonable."
He Yuzhu was a little unhappy when he heard the deaf old lady say this. After all, getting married was a big deal for him. Did he have to report everything to her? But he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "Old lady, I'm telling you now."
The deaf old lady knew that she would have to rely on He Yuzhu to take care of her in the future, so she couldn't let the relationship become strained. So she took a deep breath, suppressed her unhappiness, and said, "Zhuzi, you have only met for a few days. Do you know each other well? How can you be so anxious to get married? Marriage is a big deal, so you have to be careful."
Lu Jia watched He Yuzhu's face getting worse and worse, and was worried that he would argue with the deaf old lady, so she looked at He Yuzhu at the right time and said softly: "Brother Zhuzi, it's getting late, let's go back first and don't disturb the old lady's rest."
He Yuzhu heard what Lu Jia said, so he also went down the stairs without saying anything more. He looked at the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, please enjoy your braised pork slowly. I will go back with Lu Jia first."
The old lady did not stop them this time, but nodded silently. After He Yuzhu and Lu Jia left, she sat there with a frown, thinking that she had to think of other ways.
Lu Jia followed He Yuzhu silently. She didn't take the old lady's words seriously. After all, she had other plans in mind. He Yuzhu turned to look at Lu Jia, his eyes full of concern and comfort. He said softly, "Don't take the old lady's words seriously. She is old and her ideas are a bit old-fashioned. Let's not argue with her. From now on, we will live our lives peacefully. It doesn't matter what others say."
Lu Jia nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her face, and said, "I know, Zhuzi. Don't worry, I won't mind." In fact, in Lu Jia's heart, getting rid of Gu Nan is the most important thing at the moment. As long as this goal is achieved, she can live a good life with He Yuzhu without worries and start a new life.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the Jia family was depressing. Jia Zhang sat on a chair, looking at Qin Huairu with a sad face, and sighed, "What do you think we should do now? Jia Dongxu is so sick, the family has lost its pillar, and He Yuzhu is unwilling to help our family anymore. You should think of a solution quickly."
Qin Huairu was actually worried about this matter. She lowered her head and thought about it. Suddenly, her eyes turned and a light bulb went off in her mind. She thought of a solution. But this solution was really hard to say. Even if she said it, the people in the Jia family might not agree. So she chose to hide this idea in her heart for the time being and did not express it.
At this moment, Jia Dongxu, who had been lying on the bed, raised his head slightly, looked at Jia Zhang weakly, and said slowly: "Mom, although He Yuzhu and Lu Jia have already obtained a marriage certificate, from what I have observed, they have not slept together yet. What do you think would have happened if it wasn't Lu Jia lying on He Yuzhu's bed in the middle of the night?"
