Chapter 96 Caught in the act, so you've started living with someone else, huh?

Who else could it be but Uncle Hao?

Recalling the time she was stood up, Shi Yu's expression immediately turned somber.

She walked over and asked, "Uncle Hao, is there something you need?"

Uncle Hao turned his head and saw that it was Shi Yu. His face immediately showed an apologetic expression. "Shi Yu, I'm here to apologize to you. I didn't go last night. I hope I didn't interfere with your business?"

"It's nothing!" Shi Yu didn't say anything more.

"That's good! That's good!"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still felt a little guilty.

“I was all ready yesterday, but who knew that your sister Shi Jiaojiao would come to see me just before I left. After talking to her for a few minutes, I drank a glass of water that she handed me.”

Then, I fell asleep.

"Maybe it's because I'm getting old. I slept and slept until this morning." Uncle Hao said, shaking his head.

Even he himself finds it unbelievable; he has never slept so soundly before.

Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Judging from Uncle Hao's appearance, he wasn't lying.

Is it Shi Jiaojiao?

She remembered that Shi Liu often suffered from insomnia, so she always kept sleeping pills on hand. It would be easy for Shi Jiaojiao to get two or three pills.

This explains why Uncle Hao was sleeping so soundly.

"It's alright, Uncle Hao. You're probably just tired from working. Last night's matter has been properly resolved," Shi Yu smiled.

It turns out that Lu Yizhou wasn't going back on his word; he was deliberately preventing Uncle Hao from appearing.

only……

Even though she knew the truth, Shi Yu still felt a little depressed and uncomfortable.

I don't know why.

At this moment, Huang Ying came out after hearing the voices.

Seeing Uncle Hao, she smiled and said, "So it's Brother Hao. I haven't had a chance to thank you for helping me at work last time. It's perfect timing, let's have dinner at home today."

"No...no need..." Upon suddenly seeing Huang Ying, Uncle Hao immediately became nervous.

He quickly waved his hand.

At the same time, her cheeks turned slightly red.

"Oh?" Seeing Uncle Hao's unusual reaction, Shi Yu narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

She then smiled.

Uncle Hao is a handsome man with good character.

If his mother also approves of him, the two of them could be companions, which she would be happy to see.

“Yes, Uncle Hao, please don’t refuse. You talk to my mother, I’ll go cook.” With that, Shi Yu turned and left.

With only the two of them left, Uncle Hao became even more nervous.

My heart is racing.

I don't know where to put my hands.

"Um... let me chop up the pig feed for you." Without waiting for a reply, Uncle Hao walked straight over to the pig feed that Shi Yu had brought back.

Once they got close, they rolled up their sleeves and got right to work.

Huang Ying had no right to ask the guests to do the work.

Unfortunately, he couldn't persuade Uncle Hao otherwise.

There was nothing Huang Ying could do but let him be and stand by his side to talk to him.

With work in hand, Uncle Hao's tense expression gradually eased.

The two chatted and laughed.

When Daqiang arrived, this was the heartwarming scene he witnessed.

His steps abruptly halted, as if struck by lightning.

"Huang Ying! How long have you been gone? You've already found another man to live with, haven't you? How can you be so shameless?" Shi Daqiang rushed in.

He pointed a trembling finger at Huang Ying, then at Uncle Hao who was chopping pig feed.

His face was filled with grief and indignation at being cuckolded.

Huang Ying's face darkened. "What are you doing here? Get out! You're not welcome in my home."

"Of course you don't welcome me. Isn't it because you're afraid I'll interfere with your search for other men?"

"Huang Ying, you were such a good actress before. If I had known you were this kind of person, I should have broken your legs back when you were with the Shi family."

"And you!" After a pause, Shi Daqiang started yelling at Uncle Hao again.

"Hey Hao, you look like a man, but why do you act like a scoundrel? What, you're even trying to snatch up someone else's hand-me-down shoes?"

"Shi Daqiang!" Huang Ying was furious.

She had heard even harsher things when she was with the Shi family.

However, she couldn't let others be dragged into the criticism as well.

Turning around angrily, Huang Ying grabbed a broom from under the wall and used it to chase Shi Daqiang away, yelling, "You bastard, get out of my house!"

Shi Daqiang dodged it.

Then, he grabbed the broom with his other hand and was about to attack Huang Ying with a ferocious expression.

But before the fist could even land, it was caught firmly in mid-air by Uncle Hao.

Uncle Hao pushed backward forcefully.

Suddenly, Shi Daqiang lost his balance and stumbled back two steps.

"I despise men who hit women. If you're so capable, have a go at me," Uncle Hao said, shielding Huang Ying behind him with a stern face, and swung his fist at Shi Daqiang.

His expression was disdainful.

Looking at that tall figure, Huang Ying was momentarily dazed.

My feelings are mixed.

In her old age, no matter how much she suffered in her family, there was never a single person in her life.

turn out to be……

This is what it feels like to be protected.

"You...you..." Shi Daqiang's nose almost twisted out of shape with anger.

But he couldn't beat Uncle Hao, so he didn't dare to go forward and could only stomp his feet comically in place.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Uncle Hao looked at him coldly.

"Why should I leave?" Shi Daqiang retorted defiantly.

"Just because this is my home." Hearing the commotion, Shi Yu came over to investigate.

She was in such a hurry that she hadn't had time to put down the large piece of cured meat she was holding.

Shi Daqiang's gaze fell on the cured meat in Shi Yu's hand. His eyes widened in surprise, and he swallowed hard, unable to look away.

"I'm here on important business."

He decided to take care of the important business first.

"What important business could there possibly be between us and you?"

"I've come to borrow some meat. Your grandmother is sick and wants some meat soup. Since you're out now, give me the piece of meat you have."

"On what grounds?"

Hearing this, Shi Yu couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Shi Yu!" Shi Daqiang's face darkened as he scolded, "What has become of you?"

"That's your grandma. Now that she's sick, how can she eat a bite of your food? Don't forget, after you get married, won't you still need our Shi family to back you up?"

"No need."

"You..." Shi Daqiang choked for a moment.

He glanced at the cured meat in Shi Yu's hand again, and unwilling to give up, he had to change his approach, "You have so much meat at home, can't you take out a piece for your grandma to eat?"

"Yes! You're right." Shi Yu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Shi Daqiang's eyes lit up.

He proudly stretched out his hand to Shi Yu, "Alright, now that you understand human feelings, Dad won't say anything more. Hurry up and bring the meat over, your grandma is waiting to eat it."

"Don't misunderstand!" Shi Yu said with a half-smile. "When I said you were right, I meant that sentence: My family has so much meat."

"but……"
