Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Wang Hongtao walked to the door of the uncle's house and knocked: "Is the aunt home?"

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was naturally working in the factory, so Wang Hongtao didn't call him, but directly called the aunt.

"Yes, yes, who's looking for me?" An old lady came over and opened the door.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Wang? Do you want to talk to your aunt about something?"

Seeing that it was Wang Hongtao, the aunt was stunned at first, and then warmly welcomed Wang Hongtao in.

The two of them were of different generations, so they were not afraid of gossip: "Come, go inside and sit for a while."

She had no idea why Wang Hongtao would go to her aunt, but she was a kind-hearted person and always greeted people with a smile.

Wang Hongtao followed him in with a smile and sat down on a stool. “I came back today because I have something I want to ask you, Auntie.”

"Well, let's be frank. I'm just asking out of kindness. If I say something wrong and offend you, don't blame me."

"Kid, do you think I can argue with you at this age? Just ask boldly, I won't blame you." Seeing Wang Hongtao so serious, the aunt really wanted to know what he said. Curiosity is something everyone has.

"Okay, then I'll be frank with you next time."

"Auntie, you and uncle are already this old and don't have any children of your own. Have you thought about your future plans?"

The expression on the old lady's face changed, and her originally smiling face was instantly covered with a cloud of darkness.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife are in good health and have no worries about food and drink. Their biggest difficulty is that they have no children. But now Wang Hongtao has pointed it out directly, which makes them feel a little embarrassed.

Seeing the lady's expression, Wang Hongtao quickly explained: "Auntie, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to make fun of you."

"I just feel that the neighbors who have been with you for a long time are too embarrassed to say some things because of face, but I, a new resident, don't have so many concerns and say whatever comes to my mind."

Wang Hongtao paused for a moment, and when he saw that the lady did not refute him, he continued:

"Although I have only moved into the yard for a month or so, I can see some things clearly."

"Usually, the eldest master takes special care of Sha Zhu and the Jia family. Is he planning to rely on them to support you two in your old age?"

The aunt's eyes twitched when she heard this. How could such a deep plan that she and her husband had made be discovered by a young man who had just entered the hospital?

Wang Hongtao pretended not to see it and continued, "In fact, many people in the hospital can see clearly what you two are planning, but due to the status of the eldest uncle, no one is willing to speak out."

"You two are right in what you did. People are all made of flesh and blood. You are so kind to Sha Zhu and the Jia family. If you are too old to walk one day, it will be their responsibility to take care of you in return."

"right?"

The aunt nodded in agreement. Since Wang Hongtao had already said it out loud, there was no point in her hiding it any further.

"If that is what you two are planning, I'm afraid it will probably fail."

"Don't be impatient, Auntie. Let me explain it to you slowly."

"Let's talk about Sha Zhu first. Although Sha Zhu is a scoundrel, he is a man of justice and loyalty. He will definitely not just stand by and watch when you two are old."

"But there is one thing you may have forgotten. All of this is based on the premise that Shazhu's father will not come back."

"His father is here to help people get into trouble, not dead. It's fine as long as he can make money now, but when he gets too old and can't work anymore, will the widow and her children keep him? Won't he still have to come back to find Sha Zhu?"

"With Shazhu's temper, if his father starts crying, making a fuss, or acting pitiful, I will definitely forgive him!"

"So Shazhu has to support three old people! He doesn't even know how to wash his own clothes. Do you think it's realistic for the three of you to rely on him to take care of you?"

The aunt's face became more and more ugly because she knew that her man had done other shameful things behind Sha Zhu's back.

When He Daqing comes back, the father and son will discuss it and decide if they don't have to settle accounts with the couple! (The child support He Daqing sent back to Sha Zhu's brother and sister is ten yuan per month)

"After talking about Shazhu, let's talk about the Jia family. Banggeng was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, and now he has become a troublemaker. He rolls on the ground and makes a big fuss when he is not satisfied. With his grandmother protecting him, he can do whatever he wants."

"Let's talk about his personality. If you ask me, Banggeng is an ungrateful guy. He is impossible to tame. If you treat him well, he will be grateful to you for a while, but if you are not satisfied, he will hate you for the rest of his life. Do you think this is reasonable?"

"No matter how good-tempered you two are, you can't always do what he wants, right? Besides, what would that mean?"

"People like him can kick you out of the house before you get old, believe it?"

The aunt listened in silence. She still remembered the scene of Jia Zhang's confrontation with Qin Huairu a few days ago.

If he could treat his own biological mother like this, how could he treat his neighbor who is not even related to him at all?

For a moment, the old lady looked very sad, her heart felt empty and painful, and she didn't know what to do.

Wang Hongtao saw that the foreshadowing was almost over and started to get to the point: "Actually, I find it quite strange. With the ability of a great uncle, raising two or three children shouldn't be a problem, let alone one. Why didn't he think of adopting a younger child from his family who is in a difficult situation?"

The aunt shook her head and smiled bitterly: "If only it were that simple. I fled to the capital a few years ago and have no relatives here. Your uncle's family... Never mind. This method won't work anyway."

It seemed that the aunt didn't want to talk about their family affairs, but Wang Hongtao didn't care about it. He continued to ask: "Since your family can't do it, have you ever thought about adopting a child from outside? It shouldn't be difficult to adopt a child in this era, right?"

The old lady seemed to have discovered something. Why did Wang Hongtao come to her family in broad daylight instead of going to work to care about their elderly care issues? He must have some other plan.

Why is he so kind when our two families don't usually interact? He can't be coveting my body, right?

The old lady shook off the strange thoughts in her mind. Since she couldn't figure it out, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She didn't have any good intentions. What if that person really had good intentions?

"Xiao Wang, if that's the case, Auntie won't hide it from you. It's not like she hasn't looked for your uncle before."

"Should we go out and spend money to adopt a child? I'm worried. Spending money is a small matter, but what if the child grows up and becomes successful and the parents come back to recognize him? Won't the child be completely ruined? I don't want to be stabbed in the heart when I'm old." The aunt explained with a worried look on her face.

"Let's go to an orphanage? How many children in the orphanage are healthy? There are a few who are not stupid or mean but are particularly naughty. I am scared by their eyes. How dare I take them home?"

Wang Hongtao also expressed his understanding of what the old lady said.

If you buy it from outside, you may be afraid that the parents will come back to recognize you after you find out that you have made it.

It is difficult to find a suitable one in an orphanage because most of the children are either physically disabled or have bad tempers.

The children in the welfare home are not like the protagonists in novels who are all hardworking and grateful. The fact is that it is difficult for good kids to survive there because the strong prey on the weak.

(There was a man near my home who couldn’t have children. In 00, they brought a six-year-old boy home from an orphanage. His mother either ate the fruit snacks she bought for him on the spot or hid them. Anyway, what was given to him was his. If you touched it again, he would bite and scratch you. He was more guarded than a dog. After that, they raised him for a few years but he refused to go to school. Later, he stole money from home and ran away and never came back.)
