Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

the next day,

Yi Zhonghai first went to the street office and reported to Director Wang that two of his family members had to recuperate for the next six months and could not take care of the deaf old lady. He asked her to find someone else to take care of her and that he would no longer take care of the deaf old lady.

He went to the steel rolling mill again and applied for leave. The factory did not dare to reject his application because Yi Zhonghai was already a level 7 fitter. After all, every factory was in need of such master craftsmen, so they approved it within half a year.

Just like that, Yi Zhonghai said hello to Liu Haizhong, went back to pack up his things, and left the compound.

Not long after, Director Wang brought people to the deaf old lady's home.

"Old lady, this is what happened. Yi Zhonghai told me that he and his wife are sick and need more than half a year to treat their illness. They can no longer take care of you."

"What!" The deaf old lady was shocked. Yi Zhonghai and his family had gone to recuperate. What happened? No wonder they didn't come to deliver food yesterday.

Director Wang took a breath and continued.

"That's the thing. Our street office can provide you with several options. One is that we can find a family to take care of you. What do you think?"

"Then do you want to live in my house?" asked the deaf old lady.

"Yes, after all, there are no extra houses available now." Director Wang also felt that it was completely fine for an old lady like her to live in two rooms with a few more people.

"What about other options?" The deaf old lady refused directly.

"Also, you can live in a nursing home. We have someone to take care of you. What do you think?"

"Are there any others?"

"Then you should ask if there is anyone in your hospital who can take care of you."

Director Wang was a little unhappy because she was an old lady in her seventies with no one to take care of her and no income, which was really pitiful. And with Yi Zhonghai's intercession, he reluctantly gave her a five-guarantee household.

Strictly speaking, she does not meet the requirements. After all, the deaf old lady has her own private property, so this one requirement is not enough!

"Then please help ask." The deaf old lady was reluctant to leave.

"Okay, when everyone gets back from get off work, I'll ask Secretary Sun to help you open it."

Director Wang left after he finished speaking. He no longer had a good impression of the old lady. It was obvious that she was reluctant to give up the house and only wanted to take advantage of her.

The deaf old lady's face was livid. Treatment? What disease? She went to get treatment without telling me anything? Was she discovered?

……

Xu Damao and his son came back with Qin Yuru and Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao was very happy because he had obtained a marriage certificate and had a beautiful wife.

"Yuru, we can hold the wedding banquet after the He family comes back. Can we give out some wedding candies first?"

Xu Damao said to Qin Yuru with a smile.

"I'll do whatever you say." Qin Yuru was still a little shy.

"Zhaodi, take Jingru to play at home for a while. Your sister-in-law and I will go to distribute the wedding candies." Xu Damao instructed Xu Zhaodi.

"Brother, give me some candy first." Xu Zhaodi ran over and said with a smile.

"Here you go. Don't go out of the backyard, okay?" Xu Damao took a handful of candy and gave it to Xu Zhaodi.

Xu Zhaodi immediately took the candy and ran away with Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao also went to distribute wedding candies happily.

Soon, the workers came back from get off work.

Secretary Sun, together with Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, convened a meeting.

Everyone sat in a circle, with the deaf old lady sitting in the center.

Secretary Sun and the two old men stood in the circle. Since the street office had arrived, they didn't dare to do anything tricky.

Yan Fugui spoke first.

"I called everyone here today because Director Sun has something to say. Welcome everyone."

After he finished speaking, he led the applause, and Secretary Sun quickly interrupted.

"Alright, alright, Uncle, there's no need to go through all this formality. I'll just get straight to the point.

It's like this. The old man and his wife are both sick and need to spend more than half a year to receive treatment, so there is no one to take care of the deaf old lady.

So, let's discuss with the deaf old lady and see if anyone is willing to come out and take care of her."

After Secretary Sun finished speaking, everyone fell silent. But no one was willing to take care of the old lady.

"That Secretary Sun, is this just for nothing? Who would do it if there is no benefit? Don't you think so?"

One resident said.

"Yes, only the uncle is so open-minded and has taken care of me for so many years!"

"What do you mean by uncle? It's the aunt who takes good care of us."

……

Everyone started discussing.

"Okay, okay, let's discuss this later. Now I'm asking if anyone is willing to take care of it?"

Secretary Sun spoke up.

The grandson wanted to stand up but was stopped by Aunt Li. Aunt Li whispered something in his ear and soon the grandson became quiet.

"What do you say, deaf old lady? No one wants to." Secretary Sun looked at the deaf old lady, hoping that she could give him something.

The deaf old lady saw that there was nothing she could do and could only speak.

"Zhu Zi, are you willing to take care of an old lady like me? I will give you the house then."

When Sha Zhu heard the word "house", his heart was moved. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Huairu spoke.

"Old lady, there is no one at home now, how can we take care of it? You see, we have asked our relatives in the countryside to take care of it."

Qin Huairu said, and pushed Qin Jingru forward. Qin Jingru stood in front of Qin Huairu at a loss, lowering her head and not speaking.

The deaf old lady had no choice but to listen to Qin Huairu's words, as this was the truth.

The deaf old lady glanced at the backyard in the direction of the Li family, and seeing that they were unwilling, she let it go. She didn't care about other people.

"Then Secretary Sun, you decide. This is the only house I own. Whoever is willing to take care of it can take it. But you can only get the house after I die."

The deaf old lady finally said these words.

"Okay, now is there anyone willing to meet these conditions? Please raise your hands."

After Secretary Sun finished speaking, everyone started discussing again.

But few families were willing to do so, after all, unlike Yi Zhonghai's family, which only had two people.

At this time Yan Fugui raised his hand.

"Secretary Sun, I want to ask a question."

"ask."

"That old lady, are you going to hand over your food allowance or something?"

Yan Fugui is indeed a very good planner. He even thought of this.

According to the plot of the TV series, the deaf old lady should have kept the food grain herself, otherwise she would not have had food coupons to sell.

The deaf old lady became anxious when she heard this. She had little money now and had to rely on her food coupons to eat good food. What else would she eat if she paid the tax?

"I pay as much food as I eat."

"Is that so? I'll think about it."

Yan Fugui stopped talking immediately. Who knew how long the deaf old lady could live? The problem was that his eldest son was about to get married and needed a house, and in a few years his two younger sons would also want one, and he couldn't afford to wait.

If the deaf old lady lives for another ten years, it will be a big loss for me. What use will the house be to me by then? It is better to let them figure it out by themselves.

Everyone was thinking about it and didn't dare to take on this hot potato.

In the end, Li Gensheng's family from the Intermediate Court took it over, but they had to sign a document. Otherwise, what if they had to take care of the old deaf lady by themselves and she refused to recognize them?
