Ma Hua was unaware of all this. After Ma Hua finished eating, he rode his bicycle to the entrance of the alley and saw He Yushui standing blankly in front of the alley.
At this moment, He Yushui's face was gloomy. She turned around and saw that it was Ma Hua. She then smiled bitterly and said, "Ma Hua, did you already know?"
Ma Hua merely glanced at He Yushui with pity; it seemed He Yushui already knew.
"It's alright, this is my fate," He Yushui sighed, then stopped talking, her face still contorted with grief, and turned to continue walking towards the courtyard house.
In Ma Hua's eyes, that frail figure looked so pitiful and thin. Alas, what can I do? You're Sha Zhu's sister, so there's nothing I can do about it.
When Ma Hua arrived at the courtyard house, he saw Uncle Yan Bugui, the third uncle, standing at the door pretending to water the flowers. Upon seeing Ma Hua, he...
He immediately walked up to Ma Hua and asked in a low voice, "Ma Hua, I heard your factory was quite lively today?"
"What's wrong, Uncle? Just say what you need to say." Ma Hua looked impatient. This old man Yan must have something to ask him; otherwise, why would he be grinning so lewdly?
"Ahem, so what exactly happened between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao?" Third Uncle Yan Bugui said quietly, glancing around to make sure no one was watching.
"Oh, what's wrong? Is there something your third uncle doesn't know?" Ma Hua looked at Yan Bugui with a half-smile.
"You little rascal, you're just making fun of me. I won't listen for nothing. I'll exchange it for the secrets of our compound," said Uncle Yan Bugui, pushing up his glasses and speaking mysteriously.
"Oh, a secret about our institute? Tell me about it!" Yan Bugui's words piqued Ma Hua's interest.
"People leaving the factory all say that Sha Zhu loves to eat shit. When he was eating it, Da Mao not only discovered it, but also kicked him inside. I don't know how the old lady found out about it."
"The old lady was throwing a tantrum in the yard just now, and she smashed all of Xu Damao's windows," said Uncle Yan Bugui with a regretful expression. "Why smash them? They would have been so nice to have given them to me. Such good glass, what a waste."
"And then?" Ma Hua asked, looking surprised.
"Ah, that's all? Isn't that a big deal? Oh right, Lou Xiao'e has gone back to her parents' home again," Uncle Yan Bugui said after a moment's thought.
"Uncle, aren't you being a bit dishonest? I could have known this as soon as I entered the hospital. Are you trying to fool me with this?" Ma Hua's ambiguous gaze fell on Yan Bugui, as if he thought it was some big secret.
Yan Bugui's face flushed red. What could he do? That was all he knew. This brat, how could he be so hard to fool? "Ahem, just tell me clearly, or how about this..."
Ma Hua, I see you're not getting any younger. Let me tell you, our school just got a new teacher, she's incredibly beautiful, comes from a wealthy family, and is also very virtuous. Why don't I introduce you to her?
"Uncle, you should keep it for yourself." Could this be Ran Qiuye? I can't afford her. She's a returned overseas student and a teacher, her buffs are maxed out.
However, Ma Hua still told Yan Bugui the news he had overheard in the kitchen. After hearing it, Yan Bugui was somewhat disappointed and muttered, "How could that be? Didn't they say that Sha Zhu was eating shit in the toilet? Oh, is that all?"
Ma Hua suppressed a laugh and exchanged a few pleasantries with Uncle Yan Bugui before heading home. While Ma Hua was home, things were quite lively at Sha Zhu's house.
As soon as He Yushui arrived home, Shazhu followed her over. After all, Yushui had only returned yesterday: "Yushui, why are you back again today?"
When He Yushui saw Sha Zhu, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes. She had a thousand grievances in her heart, but when she saw Sha Zhu, she swallowed them all down. No matter how much of a jerk Sha Zhu was, he was still the brother who raised her.
"It's nothing. The factory notified us that we'll be working overtime starting next week, so I came back to check on things since I had some free time," He Yushui said to Sha Zhu with a forced smile. What else could she say? "You're a habitual thief, and my boyfriend doesn't want me anymore?"
He Yushui's girlfriend's mother already looked down on her somewhat, because He Yushui's family background was just too terrible. She grew up without a mother, her father ran off with someone else, and she had a good-for-nothing older brother.
If it weren't for the fact that her son genuinely liked her, and that He Yushui was not only educated (a high school graduate) but also worked in a textile factory, and that Yushui was a diligent, obedient, and good cook...
He reluctantly agreed, but as fate would have it, the policeman who came with Chief Zhang yesterday was He Yushui's girlfriend. Seeing Sha Zhu's reaction, and after telling his mother when he got home...
There was no other way; who could manage a family like that? Marrying a habitual thief's sister, how could he possibly keep his job at the police station? The only option was to break up with He Yushui.
He Yushui had already made plans with her boyfriend today; she was going to his house to cook after work. Unfortunately, when she arrived, she wasn't even allowed to enter. Instead, she was greeted with the words, "Let's break up."
He Yushui finally understood what Ma Hua had meant yesterday. What could she do? She had tried so hard to leave this hospital, and heaven knows how such a coincidence could happen. What else could she do?
Sha Zhu then realized that He Yushui was indeed thin and frail. He had originally wanted to give her some money, but when he checked his pockets, he discovered that he didn't have a single penny left.
Two fines plus the constant financial support given to Sister Qin had already left Sha Zhu's already struggling family penniless.
Sha Zhu rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, and said, "Have you eaten? How about I make you something?"
"Thanks, brother, but I'm not hungry," He Yushui said expressionlessly. She really had no appetite and didn't want to do anything. Her mind kept replaying the fact that her boyfriend had broken up with her.
