Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

Zhao De noticed that his second aunt's children seemed a little reserved, so he smiled and said...

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

The children responded politely, then looked at their aunt.

He only began to eat heartily after she nodded in acknowledgment.

Dinner was very plentiful.

It was just as good as the lunch we had at noon.

For these children, today feels like Chinese New Year.

You could even say that the food was better than what we ate during the Chinese New Year.

Aunt Yu Meiqin said somewhat embarrassedly:

“These children usually have a tough life.”

"Then eat as much as you like now, all you can eat!"

Zhao De added:

There's another meal tomorrow!

Hearing this, the children ate even more happily.

Bang-geng, who is also a child, is enjoying himself.

While chewing on chicken, she didn't forget to put some food on her younger sister Xiaodang's plate; the two kids ate until their mouths were covered in oil.

"Bang Geng, eat less. Mom has to go to the hospital to bring food to my dad first."

After giving her instructions, Qin Huairu left. When she returned from her shift at the hospital, it was Jia Zhangshi who came back.

Smelling the aroma of chicken, Jia Zhangshi's appetite was whetted, and she hurried home.

No, we can't eat the chicken. We have to leave the rest for Zhao De.

With that thought in mind, Jia Zhangshi quickly returned home.

As soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw Banggeng and Xiaodang lying there, touching their bulging bellies.

They were clearly full.

Seeing two piles of chicken bones on the table, Jia Zhangshi stared at Xiao Dang with a gloomy expression.

"Why are you eating so much, you worthless piece of trash!"

"Grandma, there's still half a chicken left in the kitchen!"

"That's what Banggeng replied."

Jia Zhangshi snorted a few times and went into the kitchen, bringing out the remaining half of the chicken.

At this moment, Bang Geng was stunned.

Grandma was seen stuffing two steamed buns soaked in chicken soup into her mouth.

I didn't touch a single piece of chicken.

Is this still the grandma I know?

Banggeng looked completely puzzled.

Even Xiao Dang looked puzzled.

Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai, who was in the neighboring courtyard, was quite excited.

Because he had just seen Jia Zhangshi return home, which foreshadowed a good show about to begin.

If Zhao De says later that he's spent all his money on buying things...

Then let him take out the wild boar meat and donate it to the Jia family.

As expected, after stuffing two cornbread buns into her mouth, Jia Zhangshi couldn't wait to run over.

"Old Yi, call a hospital-wide meeting. My son Dongxu is in this state and we need donations."

Madam Jia maintained that same expression, as if everyone owed her something.

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go get someone."

Unconsciously, Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask Sha Zhu for help.

But when she got to his room, she realized that her relationship with Sha Zhu was no longer what it used to be.

He seemed hesitant, pacing back and forth at the door.

But in the end, I decided to go in anyway.

Upon entering the house, I saw Sha Zhu standing there alone, grinning foolishly for no apparent reason.

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and said:

"Zhu Zi, something terrible has happened to your sister Qin's family. We need to hold a hospital-wide meeting. Can you help me call everyone over?"

Sha Zhu snapped out of his daze and replied with a displeased expression:

"Sir, I haven't even made dinner yet. Could you please have someone else run the errand for me?"

"Pillar."

Yi Zhonghai's tone was anxious, and what terrified him even more was that...

When faced with this moment in real life, he was ultimately unable to remain calm.

"Zhu Zi, you've changed."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and sighed.

Sha Zhu was busy cooking and didn't deny it, nodding as he said:

"Uncle, it's not me who's changed, it's you who's changed."

You are no longer the old man I used to know!

Silly Zhu silently added a sentence in his mind.

"Silly Zhu, can you tell me what happened?"

"Why are you doing this to me? Everything was normal before."

"If the old man's things hadn't been stolen, he would definitely have given you the bicycle ticket and sewing ticket."

Yi Zhonghai responded defiantly.

Sha Zhu froze, and after a long while, he finally said:

"Sir, it wasn't just your money that was stolen, but also my father's, wasn't it?"

"what?"

Yi Zhonghai's pupils contracted involuntarily, and he stood frozen in place.

He was really terrified.

How did Sha Zhu know that?

And who told him?

But now is not the time to dwell on this issue; the key is how to remedy it.

"Zhu Zi, your father's money, I'm just saving it for you and Yu Shui, and we'll take it out when you get married..."

As Zhao De had predicted, it was exactly as Zhao De had said.

Sha Zhu first sneered, then turned and stared directly at Yi Zhonghai.

"Enough! Stop talking, old man!"

"I asked you that night, do you remember what you answered me?"

"You said all that money was yours, all of it was yours!"

Sha Zhu shook his head, his face showing regret and sadness.

In his heart, that old man had disappeared.

"Pillar."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to explain something, but didn't know how to start.

After a long while, he could only sigh deeply, turn around and walk out of the house.

An elderly man, a moral exemplar in the courtyard, is highly respected by everyone.

Qin Huairu is a hardworking, virtuous, and filial daughter-in-law.

Sha Zhu, a kind person who selflessly helped Qin Huairu's family.

These are the three moral monuments that he and everyone else have erected.

In a sense, these three roles are one, and none of them can fall.

Even if one of the pillars collapses, it will threaten the other two.

Therefore, Sha Zhu absolutely cannot have any problems.
