Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang
Chapter 45: Dysentery
Wenwen refused to leave his arms at all. As soon as he wanted to let go, she looked at him with aggrieved eyes, tears welling up in her eyes.
Qin Dabao's heart, which is comparable to that of an old father, could not bear this. He could only hold her tightly.
This little guy has no sense of security at all. After his parents passed away, he spent the past two days in hunger and beatings. The child is terrified.
There's a knock on the door.
"Wenwen..."
Qin Dabao opened the door and saw the deaf old lady standing at the door with a cane.
This deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household and a family member of a martyr.
There are a lot of families without children in this courtyard, and several families are worried about the issue of elderly care. Needless to say, the deaf old lady has been visited since she moved into this courtyard. Except for the street office, no one has visited her. They said they were the family of a martyr, but no army has ever come to visit them. This is really strange.
Who was the martyr? Was he the deaf woman's father? Her husband? Her son? The records are vague. In times of war and chaos, these records were mostly based on oral accounts, and their authenticity is unlikely to withstand scrutiny.
But Qin Dabao happened to know this. After the storm broke out, he had looked through the materials of this hospital.
The deaf old lady was actually an ordinary citizen. She was from Beijing and originally lived in Daxing. Her husband was captured by the Japanese as a laborer and died of exhaustion in the moat.
She had a son who joined our food delivery team, but later disappeared and has never been found.
This is just an elderly widower. To say she's a bad person, an enemy spy, is an international joke. Who would dare to use a 70-year-old woman with bound feet, memory loss, to pass on information? Is the organization really out of people?
Take Yi Zhonghai for example. He supported a deaf old lady. Firstly, he felt pity for the lonely old woman. Secondly, he hoped that when he was old, there would be someone to take care of him. So the Chinese concept of respecting the elderly was mixed with his own selfish motives and spread in the courtyard, subtly controlling it.
. . . .
"Old lady." Qin Dabao greeted her puzzledly. She was too old and it was hard to tell her generation.
The deaf old lady was a typical old lady with bound feet. She was old and a little shaky. She looked less than 1.5 meters tall. However, this old lady was a clean person and always kept herself tidy.
"Your name is Qin Dabao, right? Why do you always come to our yard? Ahem..."
After all, I'm old and I get out of breath if I talk too much.
Qin Dabao held Wenwen and listened to the deaf old lady talking at the door. He did not interrupt and wanted to see what the old lady's purpose was.
"The Lu family was a good couple. Now that they're gone, this poor child is all that's left.
After much thought, I decided that I had to help this child find a way to survive.
Today, I, the old lady, will make the decision. This child will be given to Zhonghai's family as a godparent. When he grows up, he will be married to a live-in son-in-law to provide for Zhonghai and his wife in their old age."
Qin Dabao's anger flared up when he heard this. This was too much bullying. What kind of marriage? Wasn't this just targeting the Lu family? They wanted to eat up this orphan's family!
Well, something happened at home, and no one in the whole courtyard came to help except Sha Zhu. It feels so good to kick someone when they are down.
Seeing that Qin Dabao didn't say anything, the deaf old lady thought she had a good idea. If it weren't for Qin Dabao's punching and kicking yesterday, the old lady wouldn't have spoken so nicely. This just proved the saying that even ghosts are afraid of evil people.
"This is a happy event that brings two good things together. Wenwen will have parents to take care of her again."
Speaking of adopting Wenwen, the old man has been thinking about this matter since he returned home yesterday. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Wenwen is only 5 years old, which is the right age to raise. As the saying goes, the grace of raising is worse than the grace of giving birth. Just take the child into the house and raise her for ten years. She doesn't even need to find a job. Her parents have two jobs, so they can take over the job and find a chance to change her surname. Wouldn't the retirement problem be solved then?
The couple discussed it and asked the old lady to come forward. Everything she said came true. The old lady was so happy that she was staggering even when walking. When she delivered dinner, she couldn't wait to tell the deaf old lady, and the deaf old lady patted her chest and agreed.
From beginning to end, they never thought of asking Wenwen's opinion. Isn't this bullying?
When Qin Dabao saw the deaf old lady finished speaking, he looked down and saw Wenwen tugging at his clothes. Her little hands were trembling and her little head was shaking like a poor puppy, afraid that her brother would not want her.
Qin Dabao touched Wenwen's little head lovingly.
When he raised his head again, his face was full of frost. After dealing with them for a few times, he didn't have a good impression of most of the people in No. 95 Courtyard. They were selfish and self-righteous. Qin Dabao was really worried about leaving Wenwen to them.
Qin Dabao hugged Wenwen tightly and held her little hand with his other hand. Wenwen's little hand was covered in sweat.
"Old lady, you have to be upright. Don't always think about taking advantage of others. Director Wang from the Street Office has said that Wenwen's matter doesn't require you to worry about this useless thing."
When Director Wang was mentioned, the deaf old lady was obviously frightened. Her face was not red or white. She put her hands to her ears and said, "What did you say? Oh, let's talk about it later? Okay, then let's talk about it later."
This is the cleverness of the deaf old lady. When she encounters words that are unpleasant to hear and difficult to answer, she pretends to be deaf and dumb.
She turned and walked away, only to be heard muttering to herself: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences..."
Qin Dabao sneered at her back. Wenwen's parents died, and all her relatives left. These selfish people treated her as a piece of fat meat, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
He thought that this was the end of people's shamelessness, but he didn't expect that something even more disgusting was waiting for this poor orphan...
Wenwen hugged Qin Dabao's neck and whispered: "Brother, I'm hungry..."
Qin Dabao then realized that his stomach was also rumbling. He pinched Wenwen's nose and said, "Then let's call Sister Yushui and go eat some meat buns, okay?"
How could a child resist the temptation of food? Wenwen clapped her hands and cheered.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the central courtyard, he was stopped by Jia Zhang. Jia Dongxu was holding Xiaodang and Qin Huairu was holding his arm. They both looked at Qin Dabao with eager eyes, which scared Qin Dabao. He was really a little surprised.
Jia Zhang's old face seemed to be blooming, and her smile was so creepy.
"No, Sister-in-law Jia, please stop laughing. It makes me feel uneasy. What's wrong?"
Jia Zhang looked around and saw that no one except her family members was paying attention, so she said directly: "Uncle, I just want to talk to you about work."
"What job? What's going on?"
"Wenwen's parents left behind two jobs when they died, didn't they? You only need to keep one, and give the other to my daughter-in-law. That way, she'll have a city hukou."
Qin Dabao was speechless. He didn't expect the Jia family to be so shameless. They actually thought that he helped Wenwen for the job left by Wenwen's parents. Looking at these faces, he suddenly realized that it was not only the Jia family who thought so, but also everyone inside and outside the courtyard thought so, so they were so righteous.
"Aunt Jia, forget about this job. This is what Wenwen's parents left behind, as is the house. No one should even think about it. Also, don't mess around with the relationship. We don't have that kind of relationship."
When Jia Zhang heard what he said, her face immediately fell.
Qin Huairu's face suddenly turned pale.
"Xiao Qin, no matter what, we are relatives. You also know that my family is a family of orphans and widows, and we rely on Dongxu to work and support us. Are you going to watch my family suffer?"
Qin Dabao's face also turned cold. Is this moral kidnapping?
"Don't you understand what I said? I've already said that work is Wenwen's own business, so don't worry about it."
Seeing how stubborn he was, Jia Dongxu's eyes turned cold.
Jia Dongxu was a little excited: "How can you be like this? My family is in such a difficult situation, why can't you lend a hand? Just keep one copy for yourself, and we can pay for the other one."
Qin Dabao picked up Wenwen and looked at the shameless look of the Jia family, feeling furious.
"Stop talking. This job isn't mine. You have no business talking to me. Get out of here."
Qin Dabao thought he had made himself very clear, but now that he had said this, he was completely embarrassed.
