Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 17 It’s easy to leave without seeing him off

Li Huifang walked to the door and heard everything Li Youquan said to the deaf old lady when she was sitting in the room.

Taking advantage of the accusation of the deaf old lady, Li Huifen also smiled and said:

"Don't mind me. Youquan has just recovered from a serious illness and has had a high fever for the past few days. His mind is still not very clear and he speaks in a somewhat disrespectful manner."

"If Youquan's words offend you, I hope you can forgive him and not take him seriously."

"You are the ancestor of our compound, the person with the highest seniority in our entire compound. Why would you bother with a junior?"

Li Huifen said this with an apologetic smile on her face.

The implicit meaning of the words is to tell the deaf old lady.

Youquan is still young. Why should an old lady like her make things difficult for a younger person?

Facing the deaf old lady's accusations against Li Youquan, Li Huifen, as Li Youquan's aunt, still stood on his side.

The deaf old lady has lived for so many years and is a very experienced person. She has seen all kinds of people and things over the years.

Now hearing what Li Huifen said, she immediately understood the implication in Li Huifen's words.

The deaf old lady frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Li Huifen, what do you mean? If you say so, I heard that your Youquan is sick! I was worried about him and came to see him! This matter is still my fault!"

Listening to the deaf old lady's questioning, Li Huifen still had a smile on her face.

She spoke slowly and calmly:

"How dare I say that it is you, old lady, who is wrong! But some things Youquan said are indeed correct!"

"Youquan has been ill in bed for half a month and you didn't even think of visiting him. Now that he is seriously ill, why are you thinking of coming to visit him?"

"If you really miss him, you wouldn't wait until now to visit him. Of course, I'm not saying that you're wrong..."

"After all, your body can't stand the constant tossing and turning. Now that Youquan is well, I won't bother you to come and see him!"

"Then I'll take you home to rest! If you're worried about Youquan, wait a few days until he's fully recovered! I'll have him come to your house to chat with you in person!"

"If you have a problem with your legs and feet, don't walk around here. It would be bad if you bump into something!"

Li Huifen used both soft and hard tactics, and used a set of yin and yang rhetoric to mock the deaf old lady everywhere, but she could not find any mistakes.

After all, these words sounded like they were harassing her, but if you looked more closely, it was possible to understand them as caring about her.

If she were to find fault with what Li Huifen had said, Li Huifen could easily say that she was making trouble.

If this matter gets out of hand, it will attract residents from the surrounding areas to come and watch.

Maybe the image of myself, a respected old lady in the courtyard, would be affected by her few words.

Seeing that Li Huifen and Li Youquan were both tough guys, the deaf old lady couldn't vent her anger.

Her wrinkled face gradually turned red.

Originally, she wanted to have a meal at Li Youquan's house, but now Li Huifen said filial words and wanted to send her home.

The deaf old lady was unwilling to give in and was thinking about how to respond to Li Huifen so that her trip would not be in vain.

At this time, Li Huifen had already walked around Li Youquan who was standing at the door, grabbed the deaf old lady's arm, and helped her walk towards the deaf old lady's home.

The deaf old lady could not find any fault with Li Huifen, so she could only keep all her resentment in her heart and said:

"Okay! I'm glad you have this intention!"

"In that case, let Youquan come over to chat with me some other day after he gets better."

Li Huifen, who was helping the deaf old lady to take her home, smiled and nodded after hearing what she said:

"I understand! Don't worry!"

As he said this, he sent the deaf old lady who came to their house for a free meal back home.

After returning home, the deaf old lady sat on her bed in annoyance.

Over the years, she has been relying on her status as an old lady in the compound to eat and drink for free, and she has never failed!

Today, she finally managed to catch Li Youquan's family for a big meal, but she didn't expect that she was sent back by Li Huifen before she even entered Liu Youquan's house.

Thinking about what Li Youquan and Li Huifen said, the old lady felt her anger rising.

She clenched her fists and pounded the bed helplessly.

In the end, he covered his empty stomach and walked to the dining table to eat the steamed buns with vegetable soup that Yi Zhonghai had prepared for him.

……

After sending the deaf old lady away, Li Youquan and Li Huifen returned to the dining table to eat again.

In the past, Li Youquan had the impression that Li Huifen was always a gentle aunt.

Li Youquan didn't expect that his aunt had such a side.

Perhaps it was because their previous incarnation was cowardly and would never take the initiative to offend anyone in the compound, so their family has always had a low presence in the compound.

In the past, even if someone suppressed them, Li Youquan would compromise.

So he never knew that Li Huifen had such a personality.

But come to think of it, if Li Huifen is also the kind of person who allows herself to be bullied.

She was a widow with two children, and she would have probably been eaten up by those beasts in the compound long ago.

Li Youquan thought silently in his heart and couldn't help but admire his aunt.

Soon, several people were full and satisfied.

Li Huifen cooked a lot of food tonight, and there was a lot of vegetables and meat left after the meal.

Li Huifen said gently while cleaning up the empty plates:

"Youquan, there is still some food left on this plate, let's not keep it for ourselves."

"Many people in our hospital have helped our family during your illness. We must repay these favors."

"You know the family conditions of Mr. Zhou, the carpenter in the middle courtyard! His son and daughter-in-law passed away a few years ago. He and his grandson depend on each other for survival. Their life is not much better than ours, but he still gave us some steamed buns when you were sick."

"And there's Old Gong in the front yard. His family is a notorious poor family in our compound. They make money by picking up scraps! You borrowed some medicine from him this time when you were sick."

"Put these leftovers in bowls and send them to them later. I just steamed some steamed buns for you to return to the Zhou family. We have some money on hand now, and it's time to pay back the money we borrowed from the Gong family. You can help him send them together later!"

"Remember to thank them. Without their help, we might not be able to make it through!"

Li Huifen spoke seriously, and Li Youquan nodded immediately after hearing it:

"Aunt Cheng! We have to thank them very much! I'll get the bowls to serve them rice now!"
