Chapter 149 The Deaf Old Lady's Plan
After having a child, Li Shengli's life became much more regular. He usually goes to work on time and teaches his two apprentices in the cafeteria.

Han Qiuyun also started working after her maternity leave ended. Li Shengli gave his bicycle to Han Qiuyun because Han Qiuyun had to come back from time to time to feed the child, and the child was usually taken care of by old lady Han.

In the blink of an eye, the weather began to get cooler.

"Where's grandma?" Li Shengli asked in surprise when he came back from the factory and saw that only Han Qiuyun was at home.

"In the backyard, grandma is chatting with the old lady in the backyard. I don't know what they are talking about right now." Han Qiuyun was holding the child, and it seemed that she had just coaxed the child to sleep.

Li Shengli took off his coat and prepared to go over and hug his child.

"Go, go away, you're full of cold air, and the child just fell asleep." Han Qiuyun turned her body to Li Shengli and said coquettishly.

"Alas, my status in the family has plummeted since I had a child." Li Shengli sighed in a fake manner.

Han Qiuyun rolled his eyes at Li Shengli. Li Shengli was not a serious person usually. Li Shengli raised his eyebrows when he saw Han Qiuyun's rolled eyes, then he moved closer, hugged Han Qiuyun and started to do bad things.

After the two of them laughed and joked for a while, Han Qiuyun pushed Li Shengli away and said, "Okay, stop making trouble. Grandma will be back soon."

"I didn't see anything." As she was speaking, Old Mrs. Han came in from outside.

"Grandma!" Han Qiuyun shouted and glared at Li Shengli. Li Shengli was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear.

"Grandma, what does the old lady in the backyard want to see you about?" Li Shengli was curious about why the deaf old lady wanted to see old lady Han. Was she trying to reminisce about the glorious past?

"Yes." Han Qiuyun also nodded curiously and looked at Old Mrs. Han.

Both of them are usually busy, and when they have free time, they go out on dates and almost never go into the backyard. Only sometimes Han Qiuyun will go to Lou Xiao'e's house to chat with her. After they had a child, it was usually Lou Xiao'e who came to look after the child.

"The old lady didn't say anything. She just talked to me about some things in the yard." Old Mrs. Han didn't understand what the old lady in the backyard wanted to say for the time being. Maybe the old lady had been alone all the time and was a little lonely.

Li Shengli didn't care about Mrs. Han's relationships, he just wanted the old lady to be more careful.

"By the way, Shengli, are the Yi Zhonghai family in this yard taking care of the old lady in the backyard?" Old Mrs. Han was a little surprised. She saw Yi Zhonghai's wife often emptying the urinal for the old lady in the backyard.

"Yeah, it seems like an old lady goes to empty the urinal for the old lady in the backyard every day. She has been doing this for quite a while now." Li Shengli thought about it and it seemed that it was after Yi Zhonghai became a uncle that he started asking an old lady to empty the urinal for the old lady.

"Isn't your courtyard pretty good?" Old Mrs. Han is an old lady herself, so she can understand if she puts herself in her shoes.

"Grandma, I didn't say that Yi Zhonghai is a bad person." No matter what Yi Zhonghai's purpose was, Auntie did take good care of the old lady in the backyard, and sometimes Yi Zhonghai also gave the old lady some fine food.

Just like Yue Buqun, wasn’t he a good man before he castrated himself to practice swordsmanship?

"Grandma, what else did the old lady in the backyard say?" Li Shengli was curious now.

"Nothing else was said, except that Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu from the middle courtyard were taking care of him, and that Sha Zhu was kind-hearted and often helped people in the courtyard." Old Mrs. Han didn't think much about it. She hadn't dealt with many people in the courtyard, but she knew that Yan Bugui was calculating, because Yu Li said so. She knew that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were mortal enemies, because Lou Xiao'e said so. Li Shengli understood now that the deaf old lady was trying to tell Old Mrs. Han about Sha Zhu's goodness in various ways. What was she trying to do?

Li Shengli was not worried that she would say bad things about him and destroy the relationship between him and Han Qiuyun. The relationship between him and Han Qiuyun was obvious to everyone in the compound.

After thinking for a while, Li Shengli probably guessed what the deaf old lady was thinking. Could it be that the deaf old lady wanted Old Lady Han to introduce Han Qiuyu to Sha Zhu?

Thinking of this, Li Shengli almost dropped his jaw in shock.

"Shengli, what have you thought of?" Seeing Li Shengli's surprised look, Han Qiuyun also became curious.

Li Shengli expressed his guess.

"No way?" Old Mrs. Han was also a little surprised.

Han Qiuyun opened her mouth wide in surprise.

"It's hard to say. The deaf old lady in the backyard loves Shazhu the most. Shazhu is already over 30 years old and still hasn't gotten married. It seems that the deaf old lady is getting anxious." Li Shengli touched his chin and analyzed, and his analysis was quite reasonable.

"That's impossible." Han Qiuyun really didn't expect this.

"Qiuyu will never fall for Shazhu." Han Qiuyun said firmly.

"I also think Qiuyu doesn't like Shazhu." Li Shengli also nodded, "Although Shazhu is not a bad person, his mouth is too foul and his appearance is not good either."

Thinking of Sha Zhu's temper, Li Shengli couldn't help but shook his head.

"Besides, even if Qiuyu wants to find someone, he can't be worse than me." At the end, Li Shengli's words were the key point.

Han Qiuyun rolled her eyes when she heard Li Shengli's last words.

"Grandma, you just need to be a little more careful." Li Shengli didn't care. Judging from Han Qiuyun's marriage, Grandma Han was a sensible person. Besides, Grandma Han had lived in this courtyard for quite a while. She could see that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were enjoying the flirting.

"Qiuyu's marriage is her own decision. I won't interfere. I won't go to the backyard next time." Old Mrs. Han also understood the deaf old lady's plan.

"That's not necessary. Just do what you need to do." Li Shengli did not intend to stop Mrs. Han from dealing with the deaf old lady in the backyard. "Just don't agree to let Qiuyu and Shazhu watch everywhere."

To be honest, Sha Zhu is a bit of a scumbag. While he enjoys flirting with Qin Huairu, he keeps looking for blind dates with people who are so ugly. Li Shengli wonders if Sha Zhu treats Qin Huairu as a backup, and if Sha Zhu can't find a beautiful wife himself, he will marry Qin Huairu.

The daughter of Liu Cheng, a steel mill worker introduced by an old man in the play, represents the aesthetic characteristics of that era. Although she is fat, she is a formal employee of the factory, and her parents are also employees of the steel mill. If Sha Zhu married Liu Cheng's daughter, with both of them working and no elderly people to support, this would have been an enviable thing at the time.

"Okay, let's eat." Han Qiuyun put the child down and brought the food in the pot to the table. The three of them ate together while chatting and laughing.
