After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Aunt Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but she also understood the interests involved. She nodded, indicating that she understood what the deaf old lady meant. The two chatted about some family matters, and then Aunt Yi left the deaf old lady's house. In the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e slept until almost noon, and her stomach growled with hunger. She got up only when she couldn't stand it anymore. After getting up, she simply washed up and planned to go out to buy some food. At this time, everyone in the courtyard had already started to get busy, some were cooking, some were washing clothes, and some were chatting. Looking at this familiar scene, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in her heart. Lou Xiao'e sighed. She was not good at cooking. Usually Xu Damao cooked for her. She only needed to heat it up to enjoy it.

If no one helped, she would have to be self-reliant. Besides, Li Chenyu had to go to work every morning and could not wait for her to eat together. So she could only wait until the evening to improve the food.

Just as she was about to go out to buy some food, her eyes accidentally fell on the upside-down small bamboo basket on the table. Curious, she opened it and looked surprised.

Under the bamboo basket was a plate of fragrant chicken, a few steamed buns, two eggs, a plate of fried cabbage, and even a plate of exquisite snacks.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help laughing. She knew who made these delicacies, and she felt sweet. She quickly heated the food again and tasted it happily.

Because she was in a good mood, she ate a little too much without realizing it, so she put the snacks aside and planned to eat them slowly when she was hungry.

Lou Xiao'e packed her clothes and went out to the street office. Because she had promised Sister Zhang yesterday that she would go to help them distribute supplies this afternoon.

Unexpectedly, she was stopped by the deaf old lady as soon as she went out. The deaf old lady said to her: "Xiao'e, get up! Why did I hear from the old Yi family that you had dinner at Li Chenyu's house last night, right?

I'm telling you! That kid is not a good person. Don't eat at his house in the future, let alone deal with him. That kid has a lot of tricks. Be careful that he will plot against you."

Lou Xiao'e was immediately unhappy when she heard the deaf old lady say this about Li Chenyu. Why did she say this about Li Chenyu! She knew what kind of person he was, but she couldn't tell others.

Then she showed a look of dissatisfaction on her face, but looking at the deaf old lady, knowing that she was concerned about her, she could not say anything unpleasant, and sighed and said:

"Old lady, you misunderstood, you know, although I can't cook, I just stutter. In our courtyard, only Li Chenyu's cousin cooks delicious food!

I just want to eat with them, and I paid them a month's money, it would be a pity not to eat!"

The deaf old lady heard this and said in disbelief: "Oh! So that's the case, Xiao'e, then don't be fooled! I heard that you went to Li Chenyu's house for dinner, and I was afraid that you would suffer a loss. I'm relieved that you are fine."

Lou Xiao'e's face turned red, isn't it a loss? It's not a small loss, but a big loss. But she was very happy.

She blinked her eyes and nodded seriously: "Really, old lady, don't worry! I know what's going on."

Then the deaf old lady's eyes flashed, and she looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile, and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Xiao'e! If you like to eat delicious food, you can consider eating with Sha Zhu! Sha Zhu is a famous chef in our courtyard!

The food he cooks is so delicious, not worse than that of Li Chenyu's cousin! Don't worry, when Sha Zhu comes back, I will talk to him for you and let you two eat together. With me, an old lady, in charge, Sha Zhu will definitely not refuse."

When Lou Xiao'e heard the words of the deaf old lady, she couldn't help but feel irritated. She was speechless to the extreme, and secretly thought: Who wants to eat with Sha Zhu, who smells like shit and is sloppy?

Just thinking about it made her feel sick, not to mention really sitting down to eat with him.

So, she waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, old lady, but it's really not necessary. I feel comfortable eating at Li Chenyu's house, and I am very satisfied. I don't want to change to another family, that would be too troublesome."

The deaf old lady listened

Lou Xiao'e's words made her mutter in her heart: "Why is this little girl so stubborn? But since she doesn't want to, forget it."

So, she smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay, Xiao'e, if you change your mind, you can come to me at any time, I'll go and talk to Sha Zhu."

After that, Lou Xiao'e nodded indifferently. She didn't want to continue listening to the deaf old lady's nagging. After all, she couldn't say anything to the old lady.

She said to the deaf old lady with a helpless look: "Okay, old lady, I promised Director Wang today that I have to go to the street office to help in the afternoon. I have to go first. When I come back, I will go to the backyard to chat with you!"

Lou Xiao'e was used to it, and she told the deaf old lady about her whereabouts. The deaf old lady heard that she was going to the street office to help.

She immediately wanted to hint to Lou Xiao'e that the little meat that the aunt made at noon today did not make her full. She also knew that Yi Zhonghai and his wife were usually reluctant to eat, and it was good enough for them to buy so much for her.

If she really wanted to eat well, she had to rely on Sha Zhu. But Sha Zhu was really hard to describe. She had so much money before, but it was all fooled away by Qin Huairu, and there was nothing left.

Fortunately, Director Wang helped with the incident at the Jia family last night, so Sha Zhu's money was recovered.

But she also had to guard against Sha Zhu being deceived by Qin Huairu again, so she was eager to let Sha Zhu marry Lou Xiao'e.

Otherwise, if she saw that Sha Zhu had no hope, she could only rely on Lou Xiao'e. Xiao'e seemed to look down on Sha Zhu, which was also a big problem.

The biggest problem was Qin Huairu. Sha Zhu was fascinated by him, and she had to think about it carefully, otherwise it would be difficult for Sha Zhu to marry Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly ran out of the courtyard. She didn't want to listen to the deaf old lady's words again. It was too scary.

Along the way, she felt particularly happy, thinking that she had finally gotten rid of the entanglement of the deaf old lady. However, she didn't care about these things, as long as she was happy.

The deaf old lady stood there, looking at Lou Xiao'e's back as she left, and sighed in her heart. She originally hoped to help Sha Zhu to make connections, but now it seems that this plan may fail.
