Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 52 1 Auntie goes to work

In the following days, Li Pingan occasionally went to the factory to hand in tasks and accompany Yu Li. He spent the rest of the time practicing in the space. He didn't care much about other things.

That afternoon, Li Ping'an was practicing boxing in the yard, and Yu Li was cleaning the house for him.

I heard a messy noise outside. I opened the gate and saw He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng carrying Yi Zhonghai in. An old lady next to them was holding something and kept asking me to be careful.

After a group of people went in, Li Pingan saw the third uncle Yan Bugui standing nearby. He went up to him, handed him a cigarette and asked, "Third uncle, what's going on? Why did the first uncle come back when he didn't look well?"

Yan Bugui took the cigarette, lit it and said, "Alas, Lao Yi is finished this time. He is awake, but the doctor said that his nerves are compressed and he is paralyzed on one side. He may have to lie in bed for the rest of his life."

Li Pingan was also quite surprised to hear this. He had not expected this result. He thought Yi Zhonghai would just lie down for a few days like last time, but who knew it would be so serious this time.

But think about it, it's better to lie at home than to go out and cause trouble for others.

Li Pingan also pretended to be surprised and said, "Why is it so serious? Didn't it heal quickly last time?"

"I heard that it was more serious after the relapse, and he almost became a vegetable and couldn't wake up." Yan Bugui said and looked at Li Pingan deliberately. Who made Li Pingan angry when Yi Zhonghai got into trouble twice?

Li Pingan also understood what Yan Bugui meant and said, "Third Uncle, this is none of my business. First Uncle has this problem himself, and it's the result of his own anger. It has nothing to do with me."

Yan Bugui nodded and said, "That's what the doctor said. Old Yi is old, so it's normal for him to have some cerebrovascular problems. Otherwise, do you think they wouldn't come to you? Even if they don't let you be responsible, at least you can get away with the medical expenses."

The two chatted for a few minutes and then went home. Yu Li also found out during dinner. But she was not familiar with the people in the courtyard and didn't care at all.

Here, Yi Zhonghai was moved to the bed, and most people came to take a look and then left.

The deaf old lady sat beside him, looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was drooling and speaking incoherently, and she shed tears sadly.

Then he said to the old lady who was wiping her tears, "Mr. Yi, don't be too sad. We still have to live our lives. We still have to think about the future."

Auntie is a little bit at a loss now. As a woman from a feudal society, she has always regarded her man as the most important person. Now that Yi Zhonghai is like this, what can she do?

The deaf old lady is also very experienced. Although she can't hear now, she understands it very well in her heart.

"Old Yi, you see Zhonghai is in such a bad state now that it will not be cured for a while, but this

The family cannot be broken up. Go to the factory to take over Zhonghai's shift in a few days. I'll find someone to help you find an easier job. This way the family can have some income."

The deaf old lady took the hand of the aunt and patted it, then continued, "Look, something like this happened at home, and no one from the Jia family came to visit. I think Jia Dongxu is unreliable. I told Zhonghai about this a long time ago. With Jia Zhang in the Jia family, Jia Dongxu is unreliable. But he didn't listen. Now you have seen it, so don't count on him in the future."

After hearing this, the aunt nodded in agreement. She also told Yi Zhonghai about this, but Yi Zhonghai just wouldn't listen.

Seeing that the old lady agreed with her, the deaf lady said, "What I mean is that you should adopt a child. While I am still able to move, you go to work and I will help you take care of Zhonghai and the child at home. In a few years, the child will grow up, and then you can enjoy the filial piety of the child."

The deaf old lady also thought about letting He Yuzhu take care of her. This would be possible if Yi Zhonghai was well, but now Yi Zhonghai will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Will He Yuzhu be able to take care of Yi Zhonghai after he gets married and has children?

There is no dutiful son in bedside for a long time.

So she could only ask an aunt to adopt a child.

Two days later, an old lady brought back a little boy of about three or four years old. He looked chubby and cute.

At night, an old lady took her child to visit every household to get to know the child. The deaf old lady gave the child the name Yi Xingwang, a name with a good meaning.

So, after Yi Xingwang was settled, the aunt took the deaf old lady to the factory and asked the aunt to take over Yi Zhonghai's job. Because the aunt was old and had little education, she was transferred to the cleaning department to clean.

Li Pingan didn't know until all these things were done and the old lady went to work. At the same time, he secretly sighed that the old lady was indeed a wise old woman. Those who survived several turmoil were not simple.

Now Yi Zhonghai's family is completely settled. The first aunt goes to work during the day, and the deaf old lady comes to the house to take care of Yi Zhonghai and Yi Xingwang. At noon, she heats up the food left by the first aunt. In the evening, the first aunt comes back to cook and clean the house. Although she is tired, because she has her own child, the first aunt slowly shows a happy smile on her face.

As for the Jia family, ever since Jia Zhang became mute, they could no longer make trouble. She could see that Bang Geng often looked at her with disdain. Even Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu would occasionally show such a look.

Now she was much more diligent at home and didn't dare to cause trouble to Qin Huairu anymore, for fear that Jia Dongxu would send her back to her hometown.

The family now had no source of income, and Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were both starving and emaciated.

Ever since Auntie adopted Yi Xingwang, they knew that they would no longer receive help from Yi Zhonghai's family.

So Jia Dongxu has been working hard to exercise recently so that he can recover and go back to work as soon as possible.

But he didn't think about whether Li Ping'an could help him recover?

He had beaten the original owner to death with a club. This vengeance was not so easy to settle.

Although Li Ping'an has been very relaxed recently and doesn't pay much attention to what's going on in the compound, he still occasionally observes the object of his special attention.

When he saw that Jia Dongxu was gradually showing hope of recovery, he was also looking for an opportunity to let him lie down for a few more years.

Finally one day, when he saw Jia Dongxu wanted to give up his crutches and get off the bed by himself, he used an invisible needle to pierce Jia Dongxu's injured knee.

Jia Dongxu was struggling to support his body with both hands and move down, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his leg. He fell off the kang. With a "crack", his entire leg was deformed.

Such pain made Jia Dongxu scream "Ah". Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu outside heard the scream and ran in quickly.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's deformed legs, Qin Huairu was also terrified. Seeing her son's appearance, Jia Zhang ran over and helped him up.

He kept gesturing towards Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to delay seeing this situation, and ran outside quickly. Seeing He Yuzhu just coming back with a lunch box, she hurriedly shouted: "Zhuzi, come and help me quickly. Your brother Dongxu fell to the ground and broke his leg. Help me take him to the hospital quickly."

When He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu so anxious, he quickly followed her into the house.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's appearance, he knew there was no time to waste, so he put the lunch box in his hand on the table, went over and carried Jia Dongxu to the hospital.

Qin Huairu also handed Xiaodang to Jia Zhang and went to the hospital.

The two men came to the hospital, sent Jia Dongxu into the operating room, and waited there.

After a while, a nurse came over with a list and said, "The patient's condition is very serious and he needs surgery. Go and pay the fee first."

Qin Huairu stood there in a dilemma, holding the bill, which showed more than 20 yuan. She didn't have that much money.

So she looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, your brother Dongxu hasn't been working for a while, and our family is really out of money. Can you lend me some money? I'll pay you back when Dongxu gets a job."

Seeing Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance, He Yuzhu quickly said, "Sister Qin, I left in a hurry and didn't bring that much money. Why don't you wait for me to go back and get it."

After telling the nurse that he would pay the fee later, leaving Qin Huairu alone to wait here, He Yuzhu quickly ran home to get the money.

Besides, He Yuzhu was anxious to send Jia Dongxu to the hospital, so he left the lunch box at Jia's house. After he left, Jia Zhang opened the lunch box. Seeing braised pork and chicken nuggets inside, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng, who had not eaten meat for several months, drooled all over the floor.

The two looked at each other and immediately started to eat voraciously.

Soon, they were eating until their mouths were full of oil and the food in the lunch box was finished.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he saw his sister He Yushui still waiting for him to cook. Then he remembered that the lunch box was still at Jia's house.

When he ran to Jia's house, he found that the lunch box was already empty. He Yuzhu was so angry that he didn't know whether to beat or scold them. After all, one was a child and the other was mute. If someone heard it, they would say that he was bullying the weak.

There was no choice but to rush to the hospital again.

So he took the money and took He Yushui directly to Li Ping'an's house.

When I arrived at Li Ping'an's house, I saw him eating. I quickly said, "Ping'an, I have something to do right now and I don't have time to cook. Let Yu Shui eat something at your place, and I'll treat you to a drink later."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Ping'an's consent, he gently pushed He Yushui in and ran out.

Seeing He Yuzhu's anxious and flustered look, Li Ping'an was helpless. It seemed that he had fallen into Qin Huairu's trap and began to ignore Yu Shui.

He pulled He Yushui into the house and served her a bowl of porridge. Then he said, "Eat, Yushui. When your brother is busy in the future, come to Brother Ping'an. I can't let you go hungry."

He Yushui nodded obediently and said while eating: "Thank you, Brother Ping'an, my brother doesn't do this often. I took Brother Dongxu to the hospital today, so I didn't have time to cook."

Li Pingan touched He Yushui's head and thought, "Silly girl, you will know that this is just the beginning. I don't know what your life will be like in the future."
