The life of a villain in a courtyard

Through word of mouth from several aunts, the news of Chen Li's pregnancy quickly spread throughout the courtyard, and everyone was talking about it after get off work that evening.

There were also several middle-aged women who had a good relationship with Chen Li who came to congratulate her.

When Aunt Cui heard that Chen Li was pregnant, she sat alone by the bed, not saying a word, just staring out the window in a daze.

Yi Zhonghai knew that this was a worry in her heart. Every time she heard that someone in the yard was pregnant, she would do this and sit for hours.

In the past, he would go up to her and give her some advice, then let her slowly resolve the knot in her heart.

But this time he also fell into deep thought. What should he do in the future? The Jia family was no longer reliable. Sha Zhu broke up with him again. No one would take care of him in his old age.

What should I do in the future? Should I wait until I can no longer move and then be eaten by others? No, absolutely not.

When Yi Zhonghai was young, he was farming in the countryside. There was an old man in the same village who had lost his family. In the end, his house and land were occupied by people from the same village. Later, it was heard that the old man had frozen to death on a cold winter night.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to end up like this in the future, so he thought about adopting a child.

Anyway, I am not too old now and can still work in the steel mill for another ten or eight years. By then, I will retire and my children will have grown up, and they can provide for me in my old age.

So he told his wife about his idea.

Aunt Cui had this idea a long time ago and had told him several times, but at that time Jia Dongxu was still alive and Sha Zhu had not broken up with their family. Yi Zhonghai didn't want to go through the trouble of raising a child and just wanted to pay less, so he rejected her idea.

"Okay, old man, let's find some time to go to the orphanage and find a child that we like and raise him so that he can take care of us in our old age."

Aunt Cui stopped being in a daze and ran excitedly to cook, while fantasizing about her future life.

At the same time, Sha Zhu sat at home, without even eating, and stared at He Daqing.

He Daqing was a little scared: "What's wrong with you today? You stare at me as soon as you get home from work. I have flowers on my face. If you have time to look at me, why don't you find me a daughter-in-law?

Look at Su Yun, he is seven or eight years younger than you and is about to become a father. You are the only one in this yard who is your age and still single. I feel ashamed to tell others about it."

"Dad, you only have two children, me and Yushui?"

Sha Zhu didn't respond, but suddenly asked this question without any context, confusing both He Daqing and He Yushui.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Of course we are the only two children of Dad."

Sha Zhu said nothing and continued to stare at He Daqing.

"What's wrong with you today? You're talking nonsense."

Shazhu still didn't say anything.

In the end, He Daqing couldn't stand Sha Zhu staring at him anymore, so he chose to leave and go out for a walk to digest his food.

Not long after He Daqing left, Sha Zhu also got up and left the house. He was determined to find out what was going on.

So he came to Su Yun's door and knocked hard.

"Brother Zhuzi, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

"Yes, I have something to talk to you about."

Sha Zhu's face flushed red, and it was unclear whether it was because of excitement or fear.

"Let me ask you, who was the person who came to the factory cafeteria to look for you today?"

"Did you see him?"

Su Yun had a strange expression on his face. No wonder Sha Zhu looked like that. Suddenly seeing a man who looked exactly like He Daqing, anyone would feel strange and doubt the relationship between the two.

"That man's name is Cai Quanwu. He used to work as a waiter in a grain store. Now he's married to the owner of the Zhengyangmen Tavern and works there."

"A tavern in Zhengyangmen? I see."

After saying that, he turned around and left. He wanted to go to the tavern while it was still early. He had to figure out what happened today, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

That night, a new guest came to the tavern, his name was Sha Zhu.

He ordered three or two glasses of wine and a few side dishes, and then drank while constantly looking at the people in the tavern.

Finally, he found the target of this trip—Cai Quanwu.

"Dude, why are you staring at me? I guess we haven't met before."

Cai Quanwu noticed Sha Zhu's gaze and simply walked over and asked him directly.

Sha Zhu didn't expect the other party to be so perceptive. He was discovered by him after just looking at him twice.

"I noticed that you looked a lot like someone I know, and I couldn't help but take a few more glances."

"Oh? Looks like me? Who is it?"

Cai Quanwu had already sat down at the table, and he didn't believe a word Sha Zhu said.

"Speaking of this, I would like to ask you, do you know a man named He Daqing?"

"He Daqing? I don't know him."

Cai Quanwu thought about it and realized that there was indeed no person named He Daqing in his memory.

"You really don't know him? You look exactly like him!"

"My dear, we have no grudges in the past and no hatred today. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There is no need to make up stories to lie to me."

At this moment, several people had gathered around and surrounded Sha Zhu.

These people were all employees of the pub, and they thought Shazhu was here to cause trouble.

Sha Zhu noticed that the atmosphere around him was not right and wanted to leave.

But it was too late, but coincidentally Su Yun came.

Chen Li's bicycle was still in the shop and he came to pick it up.
