At night, the yard was quiet. Except for Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, who cared more about the deaf old lady, no one else took her seriously.
Shazhu was sitting in the yard and dozing off.
Just when Shazhu was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Pillar, pillar!"
Sha Zhu was so frightened that he fell off the chair, as he was already half asleep.
“Ouch!”
Shazhu was grimacing in pain and accidentally twisted his wrist.
But when Sha Zhu stood up and listened carefully, he found that it was the deaf old lady in the house who was calling him.
This frightened Sha Zhu. Wasn't the deaf old lady dying? Why did she suddenly call him? Did he bump into something?
Hearing the constant calls to him from inside the house, Sha Zhu finally went in with gritted teeth.
Because Sha Zhu needed to go into the room from time to time to check on the deaf old lady, the lights in the room were on. When Sha Zhu entered the room, he saw the deaf old lady sitting on the bed, staring at him.
Sha Zhu was startled at first, then said in surprise: "Grandma, are you okay? I was scared to death, I thought you were dead!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, your grandma is fine, what nonsense are you talking about here!" When the deaf old lady heard what Sha Zhu said, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she spat at Sha Zhu twice.
Shazhu also quickly followed suit and started to spit.
"Hey, grandma, I'm so glad that you're okay. I'm going back to sleep!" Sha Zhu said with a yawn.
The deaf old lady said angrily: "You are so young, how can you sleep so much? I am hungry. I haven't eaten for a long time. Go and get me something to eat. I want to eat meat. Do you hear me?"
Sha Zhu had no objection to the deaf old lady wanting to eat, but when he heard that the deaf old lady wanted to eat meat, Sha Zhu felt helpless.
"No, grandma, where can I get meat in the middle of the night?" Sha Zhu said helplessly.
The deaf old lady got angry and shouted, "I don't care, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat! You go and get it for your grandma! If I can't have this bite of meat, your grandma will die with regrets!"
When Sha Zhu heard the deaf old lady say that, he could only raise his hands and said, "Okay, okay, grandma, please don't say that. Can't I go get you some meat?"
"Don't say anything else. I'll go and get it done!" Sha Zhu had no way to deal with the deaf old lady, so he could only run to the central courtyard.
“Boom boom boom!”
Sha Zhu could only knock on Yi Zhonghai’s door.
Originally, Yi Zhonghai was waiting for the deaf old lady to die. Although she fell asleep, she did not sleep soundly at all.
When he heard Sha Zhu knocking on the door, Yi Zhonghai sat up suddenly and ran out without delaying for a moment.
"Creaky." Yi Zhonghai quickly opened the door for Sha Zhu.
"Zhu Zi, has your grandmother passed away?" Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously.
Sha Zhu didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to say that as soon as he opened the door, and said angrily: "What do you mean she died? My grandma is fine! She just woke up and asked me to cook for her, and she wants meat. Where can I get meat in the middle of the night?"
"What?" Yi Zhonghai never expected that things would turn out like this.
"Come on, follow me and take a look!"
Yi Zhonghai took Sha Zhu to the backyard. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw the deaf old lady sitting on the stool that Sha Zhu had just moved out of the yard with crutches.
Both Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were shocked. How did this old lady get into the yard?
"Grandma, why are you coming out? You're not... you're not..." Sha Zhu was so shocked that he never expected things to be like this. The deaf old lady was already paralyzed, so how could she get out of bed by herself now?
When the deaf old lady saw Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu coming over, she said to Yi Zhonghai: "Xiao Yi, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat!"
"Oh, yes, meat, meat!"
Yi Zhonghai responded somewhat bewilderedly. At this point, Yi Zhonghai began to understand what was going on. The deaf old lady might be having a last burst of vitality, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly recovered from her severe paralysis.
"Uncle, where can I get meat in the middle of the night?" Sha Zhu said reluctantly.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and scolded Sha Zhu, "Go as soon as I tell you to go. Go and cook. As for the meat, I'll find a way."
After talking about Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at the deaf old lady and said, "Old lady, why don't you go into the house first! I'll help you in!"
The deaf old lady stood up from the chair by herself with a cane, shook her head and said, "No need for your support, go get me something to eat! I can do it myself, old lady, I'm going to go back and change my clothes."
After saying this, the deaf old lady really walked into the house step by step.
After the deaf old lady entered the room, Sha Zhu said helplessly: "This old lady, why is she changing clothes in the middle of the night!"
"Shut up! Your grandma asked you to cook, why don't you go and cook?" Yi Zhonghai scolded Sha Zhu harshly.
It was the first time that Sha Zhu saw Yi Zhonghai get so angry.
Yi Zhonghai also realized that his condition was not right, so he patted Sha Zhu gently and said, "Zhu Zi, grandma loves you so much, you should go and cook for her. As for the meat problem, I will think of a way later!"
"Okay then, I'll go cook!" Sha Zhu replied.
Yi Zhonghai was also a little helpless. Where could he get meat to eat in the middle of the night?
"Is there any meat left in our house?" Yi Zhonghai first went home and asked the aunt.
The lady shook her head and said, "No more. It's been a long time since we bought meat at home!"
"Why are you still looking for meat in the middle of the night?" An old lady didn't quite understand why Yi Zhonghai was looking for meat in the middle of the night.
Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and told the aunt about the deaf old lady's last breath.
"Oh, then the deaf old lady must be able to eat. It will be troublesome if she can't!" The aunt was also a little worried.
"How about this, let's go door to door and ask who can sell us some!" Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt.
The aunt turned around to look at her child who was sleeping soundly, and quietly left the house with Yi Zhonghai.
