Chapter 26 Old Look
After the bone soup was ready, Yang Xuemei took Qiaoqiao back home.

As soon as she walked in and smelled the fragrance, she knew that her man had passed the test.

While eating, Yang Xuemei said, "I just entered the compound and heard a few aunts talking about Jia Dongxu failing the assessment?"

If not, the Jia family’s life will be difficult.

Since the child's household registration follows the mother, Jia Dongxu is the only one in the Jia family who has food rations, and the remaining four people can only eat Jia Dongxu's food. Now Qin Huairu is pregnant with another child, isn't that even more sad?

Thinking of this, Yu Zhiyuan got goose bumps all over his body. Jia Dongxu might have thought that after he left, Qin Huairu would replace him as a regular employee, and then the children would have food rations.

In the end, Zhang Cuihua was the only one in the family with a rural household registration, so they could at least squeeze out some food to feed her!
Oh my God, is it just my imagination or does Jia Dongxu really think so?

If Qin Huairu and Zhang Cuihua from the Jia family were prepared, they must have discovered something.

As Banggeng and Xiaodang grow up, Jia Dongxu will face more and more pressure. If he were in their shoes, he might also choose this path.

Yi Zhonghai should have noticed something, otherwise how could he explain delivering food in the middle of the night after Jia Dongxu left.

And he has set his sights on Sha Zhu so early.

With Yi Zhonghai's current income level and the fact that Auntie also has a food ration book, there is no problem for him to support the Jia family now.

Did he watch Jia Dongxu take this step?
Then the only people left in the Jia family are the orphans and widows, who are easy to control, and then the Sha Zhu can be controlled by controlling Qin Huairu.

Combining Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the factory and the compound, Sha Zhu's military power, and the old lady's status as a local resident, the entire compound was further kidnapped to support the Jia family.

That means the old lady also understood everything. She just needed someone to see her off to the end, so that she would not be left without anyone to carry her coffin after her death.

Yi Zhonghai knew everyone's needs, so he had made arrangements long ago.

Jia Dongxu's death, Sha Zhu's tragic ending, the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai, and the old lady are not innocent, they are all the driving forces behind this incident.

Second uncle Liu Haizhong didn’t see it, but did third uncle Yan Bugui see it?

What do Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao’s evil intentions mean in front of Yi Zhonghai?
Is this a joke!
Yang Xuemei was a little at a loss when she saw that Yu Zhiyuan's husband's face turned pale because of her words.

Yu Zhiyuan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Wife, it's ok, let's eat."

But Yu Zhiyuan thought in his heart that his inference might be true.

Before going to bed at night, Yu Zhiyuan was still thinking about this matter.

If the inference is true, then Shazhu must be pulled out.

If Sha Zhu can marry Hao Yingjuan, it depends on whether Hao Yingjuan is smart enough to control Sha Zhu.

Then the old lady just had to work hard, after all, having a room was not a loss.

Even if you fail on both ends, the worst that can happen is that you can perform a little stronger in the end.

It's okay to follow the crowd, but there's no point trying to make Yu Zhiyuan stand out.

Yu Zhiyuan and Yang Xuemei are both working, with a lot of salary and tickets, so Yi Zhonghai will definitely keep an eye on them.

After a busy morning, the three of them stood at the door to smoke a cigarette for a while before getting their meal.

The radio broadcast all the personnel and workshops that were upgraded.

The workers are more confident about their future lives.

The days passed one by one in a busy manner. When Yu Zhiyuan used the space to catch fish, he would always release some small female fish with fish eggs in their stomachs.

So the frequency of going to the Pigeon Market and delivering fish to the canteen has decreased a lot.

Six large and two small turtles were left in the space, prepared for Director Li.

As soon as he and the other people in the courtyard got off work and went home, the third aunt grabbed Yu Zhiyuan and said, "Zhiyuan, someone is looking for you. They are here for a long time and are probably at your door."

"Thank you, Auntie."

After Yu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he took two quick steps and grabbed Sha Zhu, motioning him to follow him.

No one else noticed.

After Shazhu and I walked through the moon gate in the backyard, Qiaoqiao ran out of the old lady's house.

"Dad, a grandma came to our house to see you and gave you some candy."

Yu Zhiyuan picked up Qiaoqiao and asked, "Did you thank him?"

Qiaoqiao nodded.

The two entered the old lady's room. "Qiaoqiao is the only one left in my room. I invited her in to sit for a while. It's very cold outside."

"Thank you so much, grandma."

"Why are you thanking me? Idiot should be the one to thank. Okay, I'm going to go to the bathroom. Qiaoqiao, can you accompany grandma?"

The old lady took Qiaoqiao out of the door.

Yu Zhiyuan looked at Sha Zhu and said, "This is Hao Yingjuan's mother. Hao Yingjuan is still young, so the old lady came to visit your home. Brother Zhuzi, you have to call her aunt."

Sha Zhu respectfully called her Auntie.

Hao Yingjuan's mother said, "Zhiyuan, is he really 26? Why does he look like he's 36?"

Yu Zhiyuan laughed and Sha Zhu's old face turned red.

"Auntie, he is really 26, but he looks a little old. He works in the kitchen every day, making him look older than he actually is. Please ask about the situation first. I will go and clean up the stove at home. You can eat here later, okay?"

"That's not good, I'd better go back."

"No! Auntie, I'll be in charge of cooking and cooking, Brother Zhuzi will be in charge of the food and cooking skills, and you'll be in charge of the mouth. Try his cooking skills, and I guarantee your daughter won't starve."

"Yes, Auntie, just sit still and I'll go get something."

Hao Yingjuan's mother left the old lady's house with Sha Zhu, probably to see Sha Zhu's house.

Then the two of them took their things and went to Yu Zhiyuan's house.

The old lady, Xuemei, Qiaoqiao, and Hao Yingjuan's mother were sitting in the living room chatting.

Yu Zhiyuan was helping Sha Zhu in the kitchen.

"You've already made a good start. You two should meet outside, not in the courtyard. When you're ready to get married, get a certificate and bring it back to the courtyard, okay?"

"Brother listens to you."

Then Shazhu was happily cooking.

When He Yushui came back, Hao Yingjuan's mother was even happier to see He Yushui.

After dinner, several people escorted Hao Yingjuan's mother out of the compound and asked Sha Zhu to ride He Yushui's bike to take her home.

The few of them chatted for a long time before going home.

Yu Zhiyuan was stopped by Yan Bugui: "Who is that? A bunch of people are sending them off?"

"The daughter of the old lady's sister, she doesn't know me, and she came to see me after hearing the news about the old lady by accident!"

Yu Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Everyone in the courtyard is as shrewd as a devil, so just don't get involved!"

"The old lady is in a good mood today!"

These words made Yu Zhiyuan choke.

You are really good, Yan Bugui, I admire you!

"Uncle, you are busy. I will go back first."

Yu Zhiyuan went to the backyard, explained everything to the old lady and then went home.

Yu Zhiyuan stood in front of the window and watched. After a while, Yan Bugui went into the backyard and the old lady's room empty-handed.

Yu Zhiyuan shook his head. He was really a man who wanted to get something for nothing and would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

In less than five minutes, Yan Bugui left the backyard with his head down and a sullen face.

After that, Yu Zhiyuan never asked about Sha Zhu's blind dates or dates again.

I received my salary on March 1st, and the weather started to get hot.

Before his shift was over, Yu Zhiyuan took Yang Xuemei to the hospital for a check-up.

After returning from the hospital, I sent Yang Xuemei back to the compound.

Yu Zhiyuan rode his bike to Huimin Street and found the home of Master Ma, whom Bi Zhengliang had introduced to him.

Yu Zhiyuan invited him to come and take a look at the house as he was planning to renovate and remodel it.
