Jia Zhang was sulking at home. When Qin Huairu and Xu Damao came back, they did not tell anyone about Sha Zhu's arrest.
Qin Huairu didn't dare to say it because she was afraid that Jia Zhang would punish her.
Xu Damao didn't dare to say it, mainly because he felt guilty about what he had done.
So no one noticed that Shazhu did not go home today.
He Yushui happened to go home today to get living expenses from Sha Zhu, but when he got home in the evening, he found no one at home. He waited for a long time but Sha Zhu didn't come back.
Looking at the smoke rising from other people's homes, He Yushui was still hungry. He looked around the house and found that there was nothing to eat. Otherwise, he could have cooked something to make do.
"Knock knock knock!" He Yushui had no choice but to knock on Yi Zhonghai's door.
"It's rain! Is it holiday? Is there anything wrong?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
"It's okay, uncle. I didn't see my brother. Where is my brother?" He Yushui asked.
"Your brother? He hasn't come back yet?" Yi Zhonghai was a little confused.
"No, look at what time it is and he hasn't come back yet!" said He Yushui.
"Yes, he should be back by now. Maybe someone outside asked him to cook for him. You should go back and wait a little longer." Although Yi Zhonghai was nice to Sha Zhu, he didn't want to pay any attention to He Yushui. In his opinion, He Yushui would leave the compound sooner or later, so it made no difference whether he paid attention to him or not.
He Yushui was turned down at Yi Zhonghai's house and had no choice but to go home and wait. Yi Zhonghai had just prepared the meal, but Yi Zhonghai had no intention of letting He Yushui in at all.
He Yushui is not at home usually. Now He Yushui is fifteen or sixteen years old. Since entering middle school, He Yushui has taken the initiative to ask to live in the school. Basically, he rarely comes back except to get money.
After waiting at home for a while, He Yushui couldn't sit still anymore, so he ran to Jia's house to check.
"Sister-in-law, are you home?" He Yushui asked while standing at the door of the Jia family.
Qin Huairu saw that it was He Yushui who came. Thinking of what happened today, she felt a little nervous. She hurried out and walked to He Yushui and said, "What's wrong? Yushui?"
"It's okay, I just want to ask if you have seen my brother come back?" He Yushui asked.
Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. This idiot Zhu was still locked up in the wide-brimmed hat. How could he possibly go home? She didn't expect He Yushui to come back today.
Qin Huairu could only smile and say: "Did something delay you? Why don't you come..."
Qin Huairu was about to ask He Yushui to come home for a meal, but suddenly she thought of Jia Zhangshi and held back her words, saying, "Why don't you go to the old lady's house in the backyard and ask her."
He Yushui had no choice but to nod and leave the Jia family.
But Qin Huairu was also worried. She hoped that He Yushui would not find out about this matter, otherwise her life would be in jeopardy.
After leaving the Jia family, He Yushui went to the backyard again. Lin Tiangang came out of the kitchen and saw He Yushui coming to the backyard and looked at her twice. When He Yushui still lived at home, she rarely went out. Later, she moved to the school and came back even less often.
"Grandma, are you home?" He Yushui knocked on the door of the deaf old lady. After a while, the deaf old lady came to the door.
"What's wrong?" asked the deaf old lady.
"Have you seen my brother?" He Yushui asked.
"No." The deaf old lady thought that Sha Zhu had brought back some delicious food and could share some with her, but it turned out that he came to her to look for someone, the deaf old lady said coldly.
"My brother hasn't come back yet!" He Yushui said to the deaf old lady.
"What? What did you say?" The deaf old lady pretended not to hear what He Yushui said. The deaf old lady didn't want to care about He Yushui. She also thought that Sha Zhu must have been delayed by something and didn't come back. Usually, He Yushui was a nobody in the yard, and the deaf old lady was even more unwilling to care about her, so she started to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"I said, my brother hasn't come back yet!" He Yu Shui shouted. This time He Yu Shui shouted very loudly, but the deaf old lady still pretended not to hear her.
But He Yushui's voice startled Xu Damao.
Xu Damao came out of his house, approached not far away and said in a mean way: "Yushui, your brother must have been involved with some young widow and will never come back!"
"Go away! You are the one who is involved with the widow!" He Yushui retorted.
"Why don't you believe it!" Xu Damao said sincerely.
But when Xu Damao wanted to say something else, he saw that the deaf old lady was no longer looking at him with a friendly look, and even looked like she wanted to fight, so Xu Damao immediately shut his mouth.
At this time, he happened to see Lin Tian busy in the kitchen, so he immediately slipped away and ran to Lin Tian's kitchen.
Lin Tian was just carrying food to the living room when he saw Xu Damao hiding in and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xu Damao lowered his voice and said, "Hide from the deaf old lady. She wants to cause trouble for me."
"Come in and stay inside. What are you doing here?" Lin Tian said with a smile. Xu Damao followed Lin Tian closely and went into Lin Tian's house.
Xu Damao found a place to sit down as if he was familiar with the place, and Lin Tian went back to the kitchen.
When they arrived at the kitchen door, He Yushui greeted Lin Tian. Lin Tian smiled and nodded and asked, "Yushui, is it your holiday? Have you eaten yet?"
He Yushui shook her head sadly. She walked around the compound, but no one wanted to pay attention to her. The deaf old lady pretended to be deaf and dumb for a while and then went back to the house and ignored her.
"Your brother hasn't come back yet?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"No, I don't know where he went." He Yushui said.
"Let's go to my house and have a bite to eat." Lin Tian invited.
He Yushui subconsciously rejected Lin Tian: "No, Brother Lin, I won't go. I'm going home to wait for my brother!"
"Let's go. We don't know when he will come back. If he doesn't come back, won't you eat?" Lin Tian said with a smile.
Finally, He Yushui thought for a while, nodded, and followed Lin Tian into the house.
Seeing He Yushui enter the house, Xu Damao even said jokingly: "Oh, the rain is getting more and more beautiful!"
He Yushui ignored Xu Damao, because Xu Damao always fought with Sha Zhu, and He Yushui didn't like Xu Damao very much, and Xu Damao was always teasing her.
"Yushui, sit down. Damao, stop teasing her. If you haven't eaten yet, let's have a bite together." Lin Tian said.
Xu Damao shook his head: "I have eaten."
"Okay, then we'll leave you alone."
"Bingbing, serve Yushui a bowl of rice." Lin Tian ordered.
Lin Tian felt that He Yushui was a bit pitiful, so it was no big deal to prepare a meal for him when he saw him. This child was also quite pitiful. He lost his mother at a young age, and his father ran away. He lived with an unreliable brother, and was hungry one day and full the next.
Wang Bingbing also knew about He Yushui's situation, so she was quite enthusiastic towards him.
Only Xu Damao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that He Yushui had not found Sha Zhu.
