"Zhu Zi, did you go to see your grandma today?"
After Yi Zhonghai came back from get off work in the evening, he looked at Sha Zhu who was sitting at the door and asked.
Sha Zhu didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to suddenly come over and ask him this question, so he stammered, "I went... I went, I went..."
Yi Zhonghai knew there was something fishy going on when he looked at Sha Zhu's condition, but there were other people in the yard, so Yi Zhonghai didn't ask too many questions.
After a while, when Yi Zhonghai saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quietly went to the backyard.
"Old lady!" Yi Zhonghai walked into the room and greeted the deaf old lady.
When the deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai coming over, she nodded slightly and said, "It's Xiao Yi coming over!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady whose complexion had deteriorated a lot, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
"Old lady, did Zhuzi come here today?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
When the deaf old lady heard Yi Zhonghai mention this, she shook her head and said, "No, it's good enough that Zhuzi can come once out of two visits recently, alas!"
When Yi Zhonghai heard what was going on, he realized that it was no wonder that when he asked Sha Zhu whether he had come to see the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu was hesitating.
"This Zhuzi, I must have a good talk with him when I go back! How dare he not take this matter seriously!" Yi Zhonghai said angrily. Although he has come to take care of the deaf old lady recently, he has never thought of asking about the situation on Sha Zhu's side.
The main reason was that Sha Zhu had taken care of the deaf old lady for such a long time without any problems, so Yi Zhonghai confidently handed the matter over to Sha Zhu without asking too many questions.
What happens now is that Sha Zhu has been slacking off recently and hasn't come to take care of the deaf old lady.
The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai's furious expression and warned him, "Xiao Yi, be careful when you talk to Zhuzi. Zhuzi is a donkey that goes along with the wind. If you scold him, he might just quit!"
Hearing the deaf old lady say this, Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger, nodded and said to the deaf old lady: "Okay, old lady, I know, you can rest assured."
Yi Zhonghai chatted with the deaf old lady for a while, and then left the deaf old lady's house.
When he returned to the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai glanced around the courtyard, walked to the side of the aunt and asked in a low voice: "Where is Zhuzi?"
The aunt didn't pay much attention to where Sha Zhu was. She just vaguely saw Sha Zhu go into the house, so she said, "It seems like he went home. I really didn't notice where Sha Zhu went!"
"Yeah, okay!" Yi Zhonghai nodded and was about to leave.
An old lady asked, "What are you looking for a pillar for?"
Yi Zhonghai lowered his voice and said to the aunt, "Zhu Zi, this bastard, I just went to ask the old lady, and the old lady told me that Zhu Zi has not been taking good care of her recently."
"Ah?" The aunt was very shocked when she heard Yi Zhonghai's words. She had heard Yi Zhonghai praising Sha Zhu before, saying that Sha Zhu took good care of the deaf old lady every day.
"Why is he like this?" asked an old lady in confusion.
Yi Zhonghai said angrily: "How do I know what he is thinking? He has been working three days a week and resting two days a week lately."
The lady continued to ask: "So what are your plans? Go and talk to Zhuzi about it!"
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to rush into Sha Zhu's house to settle the score with Sha Zhu. He at least had to say a few words to Sha Zhu. But then he thought that it might not work if he pushed Sha Zhu too far.
After standing there and thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt, "Why don't you go and talk to Zhuzi? I'm afraid that if I tell Zhuzi, we might start arguing. Zhuzi has such an unpredictable temper."
The aunt thought about it for a moment and agreed. She handed the child in her arms to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Zhuzi."
After Yi Zhonghai took the child away, the aunt went to Sha Zhu's house.
Sha Zhu was lying at home at this time. He knew that he had just been questioned by Yi Zhonghai and Yi Zhonghai would definitely come to find him later, so when he heard the sound of someone coming into the room, Sha Zhu just lay on the bed and didn't get up.
An old lady came up to Sha Zhu and called out, "Zhu Zi, why aren't you staying outside? Come inside and lie down."
When Sha Zhu heard that it was an old lady, he immediately sat up and said, "It's okay, I'm tired from being outside, I want to come back and lie down for a while."
The old lady nodded and started chatting with Sha Zhu in a casual manner.
After a while, the auntie finally got to the point and asked, "Zhu Zi, I heard that you haven't been paying enough attention to your grandma recently, is that right?"
Shazhu originally thought that the old lady would not talk about this, but she ended up talking about it anyway.
"Ah...it's not that I don't care...but I...I..." Shazhu stuttered and couldn't give a reason.
The auntie asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Zhuzi, have you had any troubles recently? If you have any difficulties, just tell the auntie, and your uncle will help you solve it! Just tell the auntie!"
"You're talking about this...I...am not..."
"Hey, I'm just telling you the truth, Auntie. My grandma's health has been getting worse recently. Just think about it. She used to be able to go to the toilet by herself, but now she needs help!"
"I'm an unmarried young man, and this matter... I don't even have a wife. If I had a wife, I would definitely take good care of the old lady in this matter." Sha Zhu finally told the reason why he didn't want to take care of the deaf old lady recently.
The aunt originally thought that Shazhu was simply lazy, or didn't want to bother with the old lady, so he didn't serve the deaf old lady. It turned out that this was the root cause.
"Oh, that's what happened."
"This is indeed a matter. Your uncle and I have never thought about it. Don't worry. Your uncle and I will definitely think about it carefully for you." When the aunt heard that Sha Zhu was struggling with this matter, she didn't have any good solution for the time being and could only go back and discuss it with Yi Zhonghai.
"Why!"
"It's not that I don't want to take care of my grandma, but this matter... I..." Sha Zhu also started to express his feelings.
