Yi Zhonghai had actually thought about this for a long time, and in the end he still felt that it was most suitable for Sha Zhu to remain a bachelor, so that he would have someone to take care of him in his old age.
Yi Zhonghai decided not to handle this matter personally, because if he went for a walk himself, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
So Yi Zhonghai simply handed the matter over to an older woman, asking her to spread the word about Zhou Lili and Wang San while she was out chatting with people.
As long as this matter reaches Xu Damao's ears, the matter is half done, even though Xu Damao did not immediately take action against Sha Zhu.
Yi Zhonghai already had a comprehensive plan: he would add fuel to the fire from Sha Zhu's side, so that even if this incident didn't happen, Xu Damao would find other ways to cause trouble for Sha Zhu.
When the older woman realized what she had been asked to do, she was somewhat unwilling to do it, as it was, in a way, unethical.
Even if the older woman was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey Yi Zhonghai's orders. If she didn't listen to him, he would argue with her again.
Rather than let Yi Zhonghai cause any more trouble, it's better to listen to him and tell the story herself. As for whether the story will reach Xu Damao's ears, that's not something the old lady is concerned about.
After receiving the order from Yi Zhonghai, the woman started thinking about how to get the news out.
I can't say this directly, because if I do, the people in the compound will know that it came from my mouth.
Unlike Yi Zhonghai, who didn't take this matter seriously, the older woman valued her reputation highly, so she decided to clear herself of suspicion no matter what she said.
Otherwise, if word got out that she was the one who told the story, even an older woman like her wouldn't know how to face Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu. Of course, she was also considering their feelings.
So the older woman started racking her brains, and finally decided that she should say something herself.
Having received instructions from Yi Zhonghai, the older woman took advantage of the fact that everyone in the compound was outside and casually spoke to the second older woman next to her.
"Hey, have you seen this lately?" an older woman said casually.
Upon hearing this, the second aunt realized something was wrong, so she immediately perked up and stared at the first aunt, asking her questions.
"What? What?"
"Tell me quickly, what exactly happened!" Aunt Er became excited as soon as she saw there was something to do; she was determined to get involved.
Haiyong's wife, who was not far away, also perked up her ears, wanting to hear what was going on.
"It's nothing important..."
"That's right, it seems like Zhou Lili and Qin Huairu's relationship is getting better." The older woman said to the younger woman and the people around her, pretending to be very confused.
The second aunt asked with some disbelief, "Really? How could they have such a good relationship?"
“Yeah, I’d believe anyone who says they’re on good terms, but these two can’t be on good terms, right? Weren’t they fighting a while ago? And now they’re all good together?” The third auntie suddenly appeared.
Even Qin Jingru, who was pregnant, perked up her ears. Others might not know, but she was determined to get involved, especially since it involved Qin Huairu's affairs.
Even though his relationship with Qin Huairu wasn't that close now, she was still his older sister, so he would still check on her when needed.
Seeing so many eyes on her, the older woman said, "Isn't it good? Yesterday I saw Zhou Lili coming out of the Jia family's house!"
"Oh right, Qin Huairu even saw Zhou Lili off from behind!" An older woman pretended not to understand how things had turned out this way, passing the question to everyone in the compound.
Haiyong's wife also firmly shook her head and said, "I don't think it's very likely that they would know. Yesterday, when I saw Qin Huairu and Zhou Lili appear together in the yard, their attitudes didn't seem like they had a good relationship at all."
"I remember Qin Huairu even snorted at Zhou Lili back then, so the two of them couldn't possibly be on good terms!"
Haiyong's wife firmly rejected the old woman's words.
However, the older woman wasn't trying to get to the bottom of this; her goal was simply to steer the conversation towards the two of them.
Now that everyone was paying attention to Qin Huairu and Zhou Lili, the older woman had already achieved her goal, and she rarely spoke after that.
"I'm sure I didn't see wrong, it was Qin Huairu who saw Zhou Lili out! I don't know anything else!" The old woman only spoke one sentence when others were doubting her, and didn't say anything more.
However, after the older woman's words, everyone in the compound shifted their attention to this matter, especially how the two families who had been fighting not long ago could have gotten together.
An older woman quietly watched the people in the courtyard guessing what was going on, but no one guessed the truth. No one would have guessed what was going on between them.
In the following days, people would occasionally bring up the matter between Qin Huairu and Zhou Lili.
Zhou Lili rarely comes out to socialize because she has to stay home to take care of her child, but Qin Huairu is different. When she comes out to socialize, some people subtly ask about her family's relationship with Zhou Lili.
Qin Huairu's face immediately turned ugly, and she refused to answer the other party's question. Fortunately, no one pressed her for details, and the matter was thus glossed over.
But this made everyone even more curious about the relationship between Qin Huairu and Zhou Lili, and people would come to the Intermediate People's Court from time to time to see how the two families got along.
For most people, it was just a passing fancy, but Haiyong's wife took the old woman's words to heart. While others might not know the details, she did know a thing or two.
However, she didn't have any concrete evidence. Now that this has happened, Hai Yong's wife, a busybody, has her eyes on Sha Zhu's family and the Jia family's movements.
Sure enough, hard work pays off.
Haiyong's wife, who had been keeping a close eye on things for many days, finally spotted Zhou Lili sneaking off to the Jia family's house again.
Seeing this, Haiyong's wife quickly slipped over to see what was going on between the two families.
