Chapter 1 Life is a mess

In the new century, at the gate of No. 95, Luoguxiang, South Luoguxiang, Sijiu City, Shazhu walked out of the yard wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and swinging his arms.

Now everyone in the yard has the surname He or Jia. The reason I say this is because several old guys in the yard have passed away.

According to the original agreement when hosting the nursing home, after Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui left, the houses of several families were all given to the He family.

Of course, it only belonged to the He family in name, but Jia Geng’s name was actually written on the property title.

Sha Zhu actually knew what was going on. Ever since the widow Qin started washing clothes for him, Sha Zhu knew that Qin Huairu had set her sights on his house.

But Sha Zhu doesn't care. Even his own father abandoned his family. Why should Sha Zhu live seriously?
After all, you'll just muddle through your whole life.

In recent years, as the restaurant was handed over to Jia Geng and the house was given to the three children of the Jia family, Qin Huairu became more and more indifferent to him.

Now the two of them sleep in separate rooms. The entire central courtyard and backyard belong to the Jia family, while Sha Zhu has moved to the front yard which used to be the Yan family's house.

If you ask Sha Zhu if he has ever regretted it, the answer is yes. After the reform and opening up, Lou Xiao'e brought her son back and he could have changed his life.

But at that time he was already accustomed to Qin Huairu's dependence and gentleness, and coupled with the moral blackmail of several old guys in the courtyard, Sha Zhu finally did not have the courage to take that step.

Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao had exhausted all their emotions on him, and the mother and son returned to Hong Kong Island heartbroken, not willing to waste any more time in this quagmire.

At that time, He Yuzhu felt that it was a good thing. His life was over and he didn't have the mood to embrace a new life.

But Lou Xiao'e and He Xiao are people who can have happiness.

He Yuzhu was not completely unprepared. Before Xu Damao died, he transferred the house to him. In addition to his own house, He Yuzhu had never handed over the property rights to the younger members of the Jia family.

This is also the reason why, even though it is useless today, the three children of the Jia family still have to call him "Dad", even though there is a "silly" character in front of the word "Dad".

Shazhu understood this lying down as revenge against those people.

He Daqing, He Yushui, the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, and Qin Huairu.

These people whom he once considered the closest to him in his life, none of them treated him sincerely.

Sha Zhu was also planning to play a big game with those who were still alive before he died.

At that time, he will donate the house. The Jia family wants to occupy the yard completely, grandma.

Sha Zhu waved his arms at the door and greeted acquaintances passing by with a smile.

Everyone else was wearing all kinds of high-end down jackets, but he was still wearing the old cotton-padded jacket he wore when he was young.

At this time, an old neighbor moved over in a somewhat obscene manner.

This is Lai's Xiaowu from the other end of the alley. He is more than ten years younger than He Yuzhu. When he was a child, he was always bullied when fighting with others. Back then, Shazhu helped him because they lived in the same alley.

So in this whole alley, Lai Wu was the only one who addressed Sha Zhu without the word "sha" in his name.

Lai Wu smiled before he spoke, and said, "Mr. He, are you taking a walk?"

He Yuzhu didn't say anything nice when he opened his mouth, and directly replied: "I'm not taking a walk, I'm just sitting here starving.

I say, Xiaowu, you are a grandfather now, why are you still so wretched? No wonder you were always beaten when you were young. I can't help but want to kick you. "

"Master He, you kicked me. It's my blessing. I have something to ask you today. Sister Yushui left. Did you know that?" Lai Wu carefully probed. Sha Zhu's body stiffened for a moment. He understood, but pretended not to understand and said, "Yushui? Where did Yushui go?"

Sha Zhu himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling when he said this.

Lai Wu probably also heard that Sha Zhu was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He stole a glance at the courtyard and sighed and said, "Hey, Master He, you've been called Sha Zhu your whole life. Are you really stupid? Don't you understand what I mean?
My sister Yu Shui underwent chemotherapy for stomach cancer a few years ago, but it relapsed some time ago.

No matter how much you two don't get along, she is your only sister.

well····"

Hearing the news of He Yushui's death from the neighbors was a great irony for Sha Zhu.

I had to hear the news of my own sister's death from someone else's mouth.

Sha Zhu knew that Yu Shui probably never forgave him until her death. After all, her stomach disease was caused by hunger. But it was Yu Shui who lent the meal ticket to Qin Huairu. He was just careless, not a beast. It was impossible for him to cut off Yu Shui's food supply and instead subsidize other people's families.

Sha Zhu supported the decapitated lion beside him to make himself look less weak. He said to Lai Wu with a pale face: "Xiao Wu, I understand. Thank you. You are the only one in the whole alley who treats me as a human being."

Lai Wu looked at the former courtyard god of war, who now looked like a hero who had fallen from grace, but shook his head and said nothing. Instead, he reminded him before leaving, "Master He, you must not tell your family about what I told you today. I'm afraid they will make trouble with me. Those little brats in your family, tut tut tut..."

Sha Zhu nodded, and a strand of white hair fell over his eyes.

The whole world suddenly became unclear.

Sha Zhu went to his brother-in-law Liu Wei's house. It was also an old tube-shaped building with red brick walls and cement pillars, just as mottled as He Yuzhu's life.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yu Shui’s portrait hanging on the wall. He had a smile on his face and looked kind.

Liu Weiguo saw Sha Zhu and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

Sha Zhu's lips trembled, tears obscured his vision, and he whispered, "Why? Why? Why didn't you tell me to see you for the last time?"

Liu Weiguo was startled when he heard this, and blurted out, "When Yushui's stomach cancer relapsed, we called your family. Sister Qin answered the phone and said she had notified you. Later, when you didn't come, Yushui said forget it, saying that you still blamed her."

"No, no, no one told me." Sha Zhu felt desolate inside, he knew very well what was going on.

Liu Weiguo also knew the situation in his eldest brother-in-law's family and knew that there was a misunderstanding, but he was unwilling to get involved in such matters when Yu Shui was around, let alone now that Yu Shui was gone.

Liu Weiguo said awkwardly: "Or you can sit down and I'll pour you a glass of water."

Sha Zhu shook his head, unable to express his sorrow. He walked out expressionlessly. When he reached the door, he hesitated for a moment and said with difficulty: "I never blamed Yu Shui. I thought she always blamed me, so I didn't dare to contact you more."

Night, a bottle of leftover wine, a plate of untouched peanuts, and a heartbroken person.

Sha Zhu listened to the laughter coming from the central courtyard, then looked at the deserted room he had in his own room and fell into a sound sleep.
