hole family because of how that Jia's mother acts."Of course, there's definitely more than just me, He Yuzhu, with a soft heart in this courtyard. Your family Xu Damai has compassion too. The day befo...When He Yuzhu came over with the meat, Lao Tai was very happy: "Grandson is here! Xiao E and I just shared a scallion pancake, and I thought we were full. Now that Grandma sees this piece of meat in your hand, my stomach is hungry again!"

He Yuzhu grinned and said, "That's great then. I came here specifically to cook dinner for you. If you're full after eating, wouldn't it make me seem like I'm being too pushy Just wait a moment, it won't take me long to get this ready!"

Lou Xiao'e on the side rolled her eyes and snorted, "No good deed goes unpunished. You must either be a thief or have ulterior motives."

He Yuzhu didn't stand for her either. He immediately retorted, "Lou Xia'e, it's only because of the old lady's face that I tolerate you. Otherwise, with your family Xu Damai's worthless character, I wouldn't even deign to stand under the same roof as you! What kind of person are you!"

"Shazhu! You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth!"

He Yuzhu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, you can spit out ivory from your mouth. You just talk about Silly Zhu all day long. Before you speak, don't look in the mirror. How much better can you be than me"

The deaf old woman saw the two of them glare at each other as soon as they met, so she quickly reached out and pulled Lou Xia e to sit beside her. She said earnestly, "Zhuzi is quite good at cooking! You've always been unconvinced, haven't you Today, you might as well try his cooking. That way, you won't keep saying that I, an old woman, am bragging about him!"

Lou Xia'e pouted and said, "Grandma, don't talk like that! You're just defending him! He just insulted me!"

The old deaf woman continued to play favorites: "That's because you said bad things about him first, isn't it Let's sit down and have a good meal together. Is there anything we can't talk about calmly"

Seeing Silly Zhu strut towards her with a smug look, Lou Xia'e snorted again. “Silly Zhu, don’t be cocky! Let me tell you the truth, your cooking skills are nothing to brag about! I've had my share of good food, so I can tell if it's any good or not. We'll see who's better in a while!”

Lou Xiaoe wasn't exaggerating. Her mother, Tan Qingrou, is a genuine descendant of the Tan family cooking tradition. When it comes to food, the Lou family are true experts!

He Yuzhu shrugged: "Alright, today I won't show you my skills. You wouldn't really know how many eyes the Horse King has!"

“But we'd better draw the road first. If my cooking skills are still up to your standards later, you’ll have to drink three cups as a penalty!”

What's with all the Big Bad Wolf talk

Even the Minister praised her cooking, and you're not satisfied with that You want something more than this, little bourgeois girl

Not to mention that the current ingredients are all systematically modified, they're not even comparable in deliciousness!

Lou Xiaogui disbelieved it, and puffed out her chest, saying: "Fine then! If your cooking isn't good enough, I won't even ask you to punish yourself with three cups. Just call me Auntie once, and this matter is settled!"

Looking at her bulging shirt, He Yuzhu stuck out a big thumb: "Good job! Authentic enough! Come here quickly!"

Lou Xia'e was taken aback: "What"

He Yuzhu said speechless, "So you really want to eat for free The old woman is the ancestor of our courtyard. It's fine for me to eat ready-made food, but you are a guest who is eating here and have to work!"

As he spoke, he flipped his wrist, and like a magician, two beautifully shaped potatoes appeared in his palm. "Come here quickly and peel these potatoes for me!"

Seeing this, Lou Xia'e couldn't help but her eyes light up: "Hey, Shazhu, how did you do that just now"

He Yuzhu raised an eyebrow: "You want to learn"

Lou Xiao'e nodded. She didn't really have high hopes for her cooking skills, but this trick was indeed interesting.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "No way! This is a trump card, I'm keeping it to tease my future wife. Teaching you would be out of the question!"

Lou Xia'e was furious: "If you're not going to teach me, what are you showing off for"

He Yuzhu put on the kettle and retorted, "Who are you to tell me what to do You're not my wife!"

Lou Xia'e was furious. She spat at him, snatched the two potatoes, and huffily ran to the windowsill outside the house to look for broken porcelain shards.

These days, ordinary people don't have proper vegetable peelers in their homes. Nobody buys those things. When a bowl breaks, they pick out two pieces of the broken porcelain that are relatively even and use them. It's not pretentious at all!

Though the two seem to be arguing, there's actually a playful banter between them. The old deaf woman nearby chuckles with delight.

After a few days apart, this good grandson has grown quite a bit. It seems like he's starting to get smarter

For a while, I'll have to play matchmaker. Hopefully, I can get these two together and help them tie the knot! Then I'll finally have something to look forward to!

Nobody in the courtyard knew about Lou Xia'e's secret but Deaf Old Mrs. knew all about it.

At the beginning when Xu Damao married Lou Xiaogang, she truly admired him. Wasn't Xu Damao's father-in-law wearing a Zhongshan suit just the once famous Lou Bancheng

Although it is a new society now, we do not advocate for the old ways of landlords and exploiting people.

Although a starving camel is bigger than a horse, it's still just a dying animal.

This Lao Lou family has so many businesses, even if they retire to the background and become a small shareholder, it's still an incredible amount of money.

Ahead of her eyes, there was only Lou Xiaoe, her one and only daughter, leaning beside her. In the end, wouldn't those family assets still fall into the hands of others

So, ever since Lou Xia'e entered the courtyard, Deaf Old Madam frequently showed her kindness.

When she was just a new bride and couldn't even manage the most basic household chores, Grandma Deaf never failed to lend a helping hand.

Whenever Xu Damao had a dispute with her, Deaf Granny would unconditionally stand on her side and carefully instruct her that there was nothing good to socialize with the people in this courtyard except for a few scattered ones. Their morals were one by one worse!

Lou Xiaoe also secretly kept an eye on things. She didn't fully listen to or believe the deaf old woman's advice, but after observing for a while, she found that the old woman was truly not making things up!

Let's not talk about those. There are two crooked and twisted ones among the three grandpas in this courtyard! The eldest grandpa's family is so stingy that they even have a family motto about it. As for the second grandpa, he's simply an official addict. Since he can't get promoted or make money, he takes all his anger out on his two younger sons!

Where is the old deaf woman's deafness People have sharp ears and eyes, seeing people clearly!

Otherwise, wouldn't Lou Xiaoxia be more willing to get close to her with so many people in the courtyard

However, every time the old woman said that Xu Damai wasn't a good man, the young wife who was in love with him chose to ignore it strategically....

In the deaf old woman's heart, although the fool Zhu has mixed a bit, he is kind and honest.

If these two young people who both caught her eye were to get together, one with wealth and the other with cooking skills, and they both respected her, wouldn't her life take off!

As soon as she thought of this, the old deaf woman chuckled gleefully and took out the last two bottles of Fenjiu from the innermost part of her cabinet.

Today is also a coincidence. This obedient grandson ran over to cook for himself, and Lou Xiaogua was there too. Just as Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, it can be said that this is a rare opportunity for solitude.

She'd better seize this opportunity and work hard with the two of them to get things done!tlights, and standing under this pitch-black locust tree, one couldn't tell there were two people huddled together unless they came closer.Feeling the soft pressure on his chest, He Yuzhu couldn't hel...
