My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 139: Yi Zhonghai prepares to buy a bicycle for Sha Zhu

Soon, Yi Zhonghai arrived at the backyard and found the deaf old lady.

When the deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai arrive, she said happily, "Little Yi, what brings you here?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old woman and said, "Grandma, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"

The deaf old woman looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "What is it?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, didn't I set my sights on Zhuzi for retirement? I think Zhuzi is still young and cares about his image, so I'm thinking of buying him a bicycle so it will be convenient for him to commute to get off work."

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the deaf old lady happily said, "Little Yi, I've told you before that Zhuzi is the most suitable person to take care of you in your old age. Now it seems you've finally come to your senses."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady and said with a smile, "Grandma, I'm so grateful for your guidance. Otherwise, I would still be confused."

Although the deaf old lady knew perfectly well that Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have primarily chosen Sha Zhu as the caregiver if Jia Dongxu hadn't broken both his legs, she was quite satisfied with the current situation. So she smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Call Zhu over later, I'll talk to him, and he'll definitely remember your kindness."

Yi Zhonghai was just waiting for the deaf old lady to say that, and then he smiled and said, "Okay, old lady, you wait, I'll call Zhuzi over right now."

Soon, Yi Zhonghai called Sha Zhu to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard.

Sha Zhu looked at the deaf old lady and said with a grin, "Grandma, what do you want? Why do you have to make an old man call me?"

The deaf old woman looked at Sha Zhu and exclaimed, "My dear Sha Zhu, I must have called you here for something good!"

Hearing that there was good news, Sha Zhu asked excitedly, "Grandma, what's the good news?"

Then the old lady gave Yi Zhonghai a wink, and Yi Zhonghai said, "Zhuzi, it's like this. The old lady and I discussed it, and we're thinking of having me buy you a bicycle."

Upon hearing that he was being bought a bicycle, Sha Zhu was taken aback, then said, "Really?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "Really, really."

At this moment, Sha Zhu asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why did you suddenly decide to buy me a bicycle?"

The deaf old woman picked up the conversation, saying, "Zhu Zi, isn't it good that your uncle bought you a bicycle? Everyone in our neighborhood says the same thing, no one treats you as well as your uncle!"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's true. If it weren't for you, Grandma, and Grandpa, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, both of them were very happy. The deaf old lady continued to brainwash Sha Zhu, saying, "Zhu Zi, your uncle has no children, yet he takes such good care of you. I think he treats you like his own son."

Sha Zhu nodded after hearing the old lady's words and said, "Grandma, I know. Uncle Yi is good to me, and now he wants to buy me a bicycle. I don't know how to repay him."

Yi Zhonghai humbly replied, "Zhu Zi, don't talk about repaying me. We're all family."

The deaf old woman smiled and replied, "Yes, we're all family!"

At this point, the deaf old woman continued, "Zhu Zi, look how much your uncle has done for you, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Sha Zhu was at a loss for words when he heard the deaf old lady say this. Then the deaf old lady reminded him, "Zhu Zi, all these years, although your uncle and aunt haven't said it, they have no children of their own, and their biggest concern is their old age. If you care, you should let your uncle know how you feel. Otherwise, what will you do? Your uncle has done so much for you; wouldn't he be heartbroken?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately understood, and then smiled and said, "Grandma, how could I not understand what you're saying? Isn't it just about taking care of an elderly couple in their old age? I'll take care of it. Don't worry, as long as I have food to eat, I guarantee they won't go hungry."

Hearing Sha Zhu say this, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Good, good, Zhu Zi, with you saying that, I, your old man, can rest assured."

The deaf old lady smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Good, good, good, my good Zhu, my good grandson. With you saying that, your uncle and aunt can rest assured."

Seeing how happy Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady were, Sha Zhu grinned foolishly along with them. Then he said, "Uncle, when are you going to buy me a bicycle?"

An old man named Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Buy it, we'll go buy it tomorrow."

Upon hearing that they would go buy it tomorrow, Sha Zhu exclaimed excitedly, "Great, Grandpa! Let's go buy it tomorrow, let's see if Xu Damao will still be so cocky with me!"

The three of them chatted and laughed happily, just like a real family.

Soon, as dusk fell, the people in the courtyard gradually dispersed and went home for dinner.

Sha Zhu emerged from the deaf old lady's house, humming a little tune the whole way, his smile never fading. He thought to himself smugly, "Tomorrow I'll have a bicycle! Let's see how that brat Xu Damao can show off to me now!"

As he walked, he couldn't help but think to himself that once he bought the car tomorrow, the first thing he would do was ride it to Xu Damao's house and take a couple of laps around to really annoy him.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu's steps became much lighter, as if he could already see Xu Damao's frustrated expression.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Jia family...

Madam Jia stared at Qin Huairu, continuing to berate and scold her: "Qin Huairu, tell me, have you done anything to wrong my son?"

Qin Huairu said, feeling wronged, "Mom, I really didn't."

Jia Zhangshi asked incredulously, "Then why are you getting so close to Sha Zhu?"

Qin Huairu held back her tears and said softly, "Mom, wasn't I doing all this for our family? The money I borrowed from Sha Zhu has all been used to supplement our family's daily expenses."

From the moment Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu entered the room, Jia Dongxu on the bed kept his eyes fixed on Qin Huairu. Perhaps it was because he had become paralyzed and disabled, but his mind had become unusually sensitive and suspicious; Jia Dongxu felt that Qin Huairu wasn't telling the truth. And Jia Dongxu was always obedient to his mother; whatever Jia Zhangshi said, he believed.

He glared at Qin Huairu, then suddenly his eyes narrowed with rage, and he said viciously, "Qin Huairu, you just wait and see! If you dare to cheat on Jia Dongxu with me, I'll beat you to death!"

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongxu say such cruel words, her heart skipped a beat, as if someone had grabbed it tightly. She thought about how she had worked tirelessly for the Jia family, saving every penny, and giving so much, only to find that not a single person in the Jia family believed her in the end.

She subconsciously looked at her son, Banggeng, hoping to get some understanding and comfort from him.

But Jia Zhangshi pulled Banggeng behind her, glared at him, and said, "Banggeng, remember this: if your mother ever does anything to betray your father, you must never acknowledge her as your mother again, understand?"

Banggeng was frightened by his grandmother. He glanced at his father, whose face was grim on the bed, and could only nod, saying softly, "Grandma, I understand. If she dares to do anything to betray my father, I will never acknowledge her again."
