Chapter 337 Wife, Don’t Scare Me
"correct!"

After a while, Sha Zhu suddenly seemed to think of something, and hurriedly continued, "Uncle, the old lady mentioned it to me a few days ago, saying that she had given some things to Auntie before. Could those things be what you said, that the old lady specially left for me?"

"Forehead"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was stunned.

Then, without even thinking about it, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, if she wants to give it to you, she can just give it to you directly! You are not a three-year-old child, there is no need for her to hand the things over to your aunt."

"hey-hey!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, then couldn't help but scratch his head, smiled foolishly and said, "Then I must have misunderstood."

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth. Soon he passed out drunk on the dining table.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, his face suddenly darkened and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Since Sha Zhu never lied in front of him, he never suspected that what Sha Zhu said was false.

It is true that you can guard against thieves day and night, but you can never guard against thieves in your own home!

No matter how he thought about it, he never imagined that the deaf old lady would actually leave her most precious treasure to his daughter-in-law, the aunt.

No wonder when he asked the old lady to secretly find the things while the deaf old lady was paralyzed in bed and unable to move, the old lady kept making excuses!
It turns out that this is because she has already taken the things!
He also found it a little strange at first. Logically, it was the aunt who served the deaf old lady every day. If the deaf old lady really hid something, how could she have hidden it from the aunt?
Now thinking back on it, it all makes sense.

The only answer is that the deaf old lady had already promised to leave the things to the aunt, so the aunt deliberately pretended to be confused in front of him.

The purpose is to protect him from being abandoned if he gets sick or paralyzed in the future, leaving him with no one to take care of him.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger suddenly surged in his heart, and then he stood up and quickly returned to his home.

"Old Yi, you're back!"

When an old lady saw Yi Zhonghai push open the door and walk in, she quickly stood up and greeted him.

Afterwards, she was just about to drag her tired body to pour Yi Zhonghai a cup of tea and ask who the deaf old lady's treasure was given to, when she was suddenly frightened by Yi Zhonghai's gloomy and dark face.

"Tell me quickly, where did the old lady put the things she left for you?"

"no!"

After hearing this, the aunt came to her senses and said hurriedly, "How could the old lady leave anything for me?"

"Humph!"

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, then said with an unhappy face: "Shazhu just told me that the old lady left you something a few days ago. Do you still want to lie to me now?"

"I"

The auntie glared at him, then quickly defended herself: "I didn't, if I really did, I would have told you a long time ago, you..."

"Don't talk nonsense to me, just take out the things for me!"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to listen to the aunt's explanation at all. Before the aunt finished speaking, he interrupted her in a harsh voice.

"I don't have it, where can I get it for you?"

When an old lady saw Yi Zhonghai like this, she couldn't help but shout out in grievance.

"Snapped!"

"I think you really don't want to drink the wine, so you have to drink the wine for punishment!"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that the lady was still being stubborn, he slapped her in the face and angrily yelled, "If you don't bring the things out to me today, I will beat you to death!"

"Woo~wuwu~"

The aunt covered her burning cheek with her hands, thinking about how she had endured humiliation and worked hard to serve Yi Zhonghai for so many years, but in the end she got such an indiscriminate slap in the face. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.

"Cry, cry, cry!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned upon seeing this, and then he started to scold impatiently: "You only know how to cry. You haven't given me a child in all these years, and now you dare to hide something from me. What do you think I need you for?

If I were you, I would just run into a wall and die!"

Hearing this, the aunt first looked up at Yi Zhonghai with a face full of grief and anger, then suddenly turned over and jumped off the bed, ran a few steps quickly, and rushed towards the corner of the eight-immortals table.

The next moment, in Yi Zhonghai's extremely shocked eyes, a flower of blood quietly bloomed, and then a series of "ping-ling-bang-clang" sounds were heard, and finally an old lady was seen lying on the ground with a bloody face.

[How could this happen? How could it suddenly become like this? ]

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai couldn't think straight for a moment, and his face was full of fear.

He never imagined that an old lady would actually do something like hitting her head against the wall and killing herself.

It was obvious that no matter how he scolded the old lady in the past, she would just accept it. Not to mention banging her head against his chest, she didn't even dare to talk back. Why is it suddenly different now?

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered that the deaf old lady was now gone. An epiphany suddenly came to his mind, and then he showed a look of great regret.

In the past, every time after he scolded or beat an old lady, there would be a deaf old lady to clean up the mess for her, and naturally she would not let the old lady go to a dead end.

Even the illness of an old lady was covered up by the deaf old lady who often helped him PUA the old lady.

Now that the deaf old lady is gone, naturally there is no one to help him clean up his mess anymore.

In addition, the aunt was already greatly traumatized by the death of the deaf old lady, so it is not surprising that she became so excited and did such a thing.

If Li Guoqiang saw this scene, perhaps he would understand why in the original drama, the deaf old lady passed away not long after the old lady passed away.

There is a reason for all this.

As the saying goes, cause and effect will always come true.

Soon after, Yi Zhonghai came to his senses, ran forward, helped the old lady up and held her in his arms, and shouted in panic:

"Wife, wife, wife, don't scare me, wake up quickly!"

However, no matter how he shouted, all he got in response was the blood slowly flowing down the old lady's forehead. Seeing this, he was about to run out and call for help, but when he saw the bloody corner of the table, he stopped immediately.

【no!
I can’t let anyone know that I forced my own wife to commit suicide!

If people knew about this, the good reputation I have accumulated throughout my life would be completely ruined.

What should I do? What should I do? 】

Soon, Yi Zhonghai thought of a good idea. He hurriedly picked up the old lady and placed her on the edge of the bed. Then he poured some water to wet the rag and wiped the corners of the eight-immortals table and the ground next to it clean.

When he couldn't see anything wrong, he got some blood and smeared it on the corner of the bed, making it look like an old lady accidentally fell and hit the corner of the bed, then he ran out, shouting:

"Someone comes quickly! Someone comes quickly!"

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Uncle, what happened?"

Soon, neighbors who heard the shouting ran out of their houses. The one who ran the fastest was Qin Huairu who lived opposite.

It was the first time she saw Yi Zhonghai with such a panicked look on his face. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to make Yi Zhonghai look like this?
"Your aunt accidentally fell down and hit her head on the corner of the bed. She is bleeding all over the floor. Please come and help take her to the hospital!"

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu, he hurriedly told her what happened with some panting, then grabbed Qin Huairu and ran towards his home.

When the others saw what was happening, they followed and were soon frightened by seeing an old lady lying on the ground with blood all over her face and bleeding profusely.

Then, without any time to think, they rushed forward and, together with Yi Zhonghai, lifted up the old lady, then hurried out of the yard.

Only Qin Huairu had sharp eyesight and immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the old lady's posture.

But she didn't think much about it.

After all, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were well-known for their love in this courtyard. No matter how she thought about it, she could not imagine that Auntie would commit suicide.

At most, she was just curious about how the old lady fell into this state.

With the help of everyone, it didn't take long for the old lady to be put on a cart, and then, with the crazy running of the cart owner, she was hurried to the nearest hospital.

Fortunately, the cut on the old lady's head, although it looked a bit scary, was actually not too serious.

After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, he was placed in a ward.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this situation, his heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down. He hurriedly thanked the neighbors who came to help, and then used the excuse that the old lady needed to have a good rest, and persuaded them all to go back, leaving him alone in the hospital to look after the old lady.

He sat in front of the hospital bed, looking at the gauze wrapped around the old lady's head, and an extremely complicated look slowly appeared on his face.

There was guilt, annoyance, and a hint of disgust.

In fact, it’s not that he is 100% incapable of having children, but the chance is very slim.

If he could meet a woman who was fertile enough, he might still have a chance to have a child.

However, in the war years, he simply did not have the ability to marry so many women for experiments. By the time he became capable, the social environment no longer allowed it. In addition, he did not want to be known as infertile, so he could only live with an old lady and hold on to a glimmer of hope.

Just like this, so many years have passed without him noticing. Even if he wants to change now, it is too late.

Therefore, he could only place his hopes for retirement on Jia Dongxu.

But it seemed as if God was deliberately against him and took Jia Dongxu's life away directly.

In desperation, he had to activate the backup plan and turned to cooperate with the deaf old lady to train Sha Zhu to be his successor in her old age.

Today, the deaf old lady has accomplished her mission, but he still has no whereabouts and was even backstabbed by an old lady.

This was also the main reason why he couldn't control himself and got so angry at the old lady.

At this point, he was a little confused as to whether the treasures left by the deaf old lady were secretly hidden by an old lady.

If so, then why did the old lady commit suicide?

If not, then in whose hands would these treasures be?
Could it be that the deaf old lady had already exchanged those treasures for money?

As he was thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered that the deaf old lady had always been greedy, and he couldn't help but wonder if the deaf old lady had secretly taken those treasures outside to exchange for food with others.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why those treasures suddenly disappeared.

Just when he was feeling somewhat angry about this, he suddenly saw the old lady slowly opening her eyes. He did not have time to think about it anymore and hurriedly apologized to the old lady, begging her not to tell the truth.

However, the aunt seemed to be completely heartbroken. No matter what he said, she just stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Helplessly, he could only speak in a deep voice: "Wife, you also know that the things left by the old lady are the guarantee of our future retirement. Now that we can't find them, do you think I can be anxious?

Besides, if we hadn't had any children in all these years, I wouldn't have to live such a hard life!"

After hearing this, the aunt finally reacted.

She slowly turned her head to look at Yi Zhonghai, tears streaming down her cheeks, and then she said with a guilty look on her face: "Old Yi, please stop talking. I am the one who has let you down. Please stop caring about me and let me fend for myself!"

"Look what you said!"

Yi Zhonghai glared, then said seriously: "You are my wife, how could I ignore you! I hope that we can grow old together and become a model couple in our hospital!"

"Lao Yi!"

When the aunt heard this, she was so moved that she burst into tears.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly struck while the iron was hot and spoke a few words of comfort, successfully making the aunt return to her former state of being obedient to him in everything.

Afterwards, he did not ask where the treasure left by the old lady was, but planned to wait until he returned and then observe it slowly.

Because he believed that if the old lady really took the things, she would definitely be exposed later.

Moreover, he now had some doubts as to whether the deaf old lady deliberately told Sha Zhu that she wanted to leave the things to the aunt, in order to cover up the fact that she had already exchanged the things for food.

While he was secretly cursing the deaf old lady for being so unkind, on the other side, Li Guoqiang was also in Xiangmi Zhai, discussing with Shang Xiuzhen, Shen Fengxia and others about making a trip back to Jinshanbao in the near future to report on their work and collect honey.
