Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Jiang Dalei replied.

"Yes, it's because Fanzi is capable. Dad and your uncle weren't smart people, they were lucky enough to survive. But who can always be lucky?

"If you rely on mountains, they will fall; if you rely on people, they will run away. We don't have luck to rely on; we can only rely on ourselves. Even if you are extremely lucky, it can't compare to your own persistence and hard work."

Jiang Erniu paused and looked at Jiang Dalei with a complicated look. Jiang Dalei was the eldest son who was sensible since childhood and was the most like him.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Da Lei, what I'm going to say next might sound alarmist and selfish. I hope you don't blame me."

"Dad, tell me, I'm old enough now, and it's time for me to take care of the family."

Jiang Dalei didn't know what his father was going to say, but as the eldest son, he should shoulder the burden of the family.

"Da Lei, when our family moves to the city, remember, you have to listen to Jiang Fan more and do whatever he asks you to do.

Even if... there might be danger, great danger, you still have to do it. Just like what Fanzi said today, he needs a few people he can trust.

Although I don’t know what Fanzi will do in the future, people who do great things in this world will encounter many things, both good and bad.

If our family is just farming, then we can farm for the rest of our lives. Dad has worked hard to leave you some good land.

But I feel that if Fanzi is going to do great things in the future, I don’t want you and the second and third brothers to suffer for the rest of your lives.

Farming can support yourself, but that's all you can do. Dad doesn't want you to live like this.

If our family wants to make a name for itself, we can't just rely on our relationship with your uncle's family. Relatives beyond three generations are no longer close."

This was the first time Jiang Erniu had spoken so much to Jiang Dalei since he grew up. Jiang Dalei also understood what his father meant.

If Brother Fan is in any danger in the future, he will stand in front of Brother Fan.

"Dad, don't think too much. It's still early. Brother Fan hasn't graduated yet. Even if he wants to do something big, it won't be now. It may be more than ten years later.

I will have a few children by then. Don't worry too much, Dad. Besides, Brother Fan loves me and may not need me anymore."

Jiang Dalei comforted his father.

"Dad knows. I just feel sorry for you. You are one month younger than Fanzi."

Jiang Erniu now realized that he was thinking too early. Let's talk about the future later. If something really happens by then, won't he still have his life?

If it weren't for my eldest brother's unwavering support, I would have died in that mountain valley long ago. I only have one life, how can I ever repay my eldest brother's kindness?

Chapter 51: The Deaf Old Lady is Discharged from the Hospital

Time goes by.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the New Year.

This day was also the day the deaf old lady was discharged from the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai got up early and went to Sha Zhu's house.

"Shazhu, are you ready? Let's go and get the old lady back as soon as possible."

"All right, uncle, I'm getting dressed."

Sha Zhu's hoarse voice came from the room.

Sha Zhu was wearing a tattered cotton jacket, had a messy hairstyle, had stubble on his face that hadn't been trimmed for days, and his eyes were red.

"Silly Zhu, how did you become like this?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked by Sha Zhu's current appearance. Although Sha Zhu was not very clean before, he was not as sloppy as he is now.

Although Sha Zhu today cannot be said to be a homeless person who walked out of a garbage dump, he is no different from someone who has slept in a garbage dump for a few days.

"Uncle, I'm fine. I just didn't sleep all night."

Sha Zhu yawned, his eyes a little blurry.

"One night? I see you haven't slept for several nights."

Yi Zhonghai was half right. Sha Zhu didn’t just not sleep these days, but he didn’t sleep well.

The kick from Jiang Fan caused his chest muscles to twitch with pain. It wasn't the physical pain of being punched, but the kind of pain similar to that of a mouth ulcer involving the tooth nerves.

These days, he has to take painkillers and apply plasters every night before he can fall asleep. His sleep is very light and the slightest movement will wake him up.

He often tossed and turned all night long, unable to fall asleep. When he finally fell asleep, he would wake up for various reasons.

And because of the medicinal effect of the plaster, it doesn't hurt that much when you apply it, but when the medicinal effect takes effect, it is really hot.

He often woke up at night with sweat all over his head, his clothes wet, and his throat dry as hell.

After all the trouble these days, the fact that Sha Zhu didn't faint from the burns can be considered a testament to his strong physique.

"Uncle, let's go. We are not going to pick up the old lady."

"Are you sure you can handle this? Forget it, come with me to the hospital and get your illness checked out."

Yi Zhonghai supported Sha Zhu, but he didn't expect that Sha Zhu was also a worry. How could such a grown man live like this?

How can such a person take good care of himself in old age? It still depends on Dongxu and Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu can manage the house in an orderly manner.

"Look at you, you're so old, and you're old enough to get married, but you still can't take care of yourself? Where's Yu Shui? Why didn't she take you to the hospital?"

What Yi Zhonghai said was a bit unfair to He Yushui. Sha Zhu's transformation could be hidden from others, but not from He Yushui.

But how could He Yushui, a little girl, take good care of Sha Zhu? She couldn't control Sha Zhu either.

"Yushui said, I don't want to go. It's not a serious illness. I will be fine in two days."

Sha Zhu is still holding on.

"Your mouth is the toughest thing about you right now."

Yi Zhonghai helped Sha Zhu out of the door, called out to him, and sent Sha Zhu to the hospital.

After checking at the hospital, I was found to have a fever, a high one at that, so I got an injection first.

After the injection, Sha Zhu fell into a drowsy sleep.

Yi Zhonghai asked the nurse to help notify Aunt Wu and let her take the old lady back first, while she would stay here to look after Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu slept until three in the afternoon.

When Sha Zhu opened his eyes, he felt that his mind was extremely clear. He had never felt so good in his life.

"Silly Zhu, are you awake? How do you feel?"

When Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu open his eyes, he quickly asked with concern.

"Uncle, I'm much better now. My chest still hurts a little, but I'm feeling refreshed now."

Sha Zhu stood up, took a few steps, and jumped again.

"Look, uncle. I can still walk a few steps now, hehe."

Shazhu was as happy as a child.

"I'm glad you're okay. Walking more is good for your health."

Yi Zhonghai smiled happily when he saw Sha Zhu getting better. Sha Zhu had just received an injection and fell asleep today, and all the money he had used was his pension money.

"Grumpy"

Sha Zhu's stomach suddenly growled. He hadn't eaten properly in the past few days, and his body had been protesting for a long time.

"Uncle, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let me treat you to a meal."

Shazhu scratched his head, and pieces of dandruff flew down.

"Okay, let's go eat, Shazhu. The doctor said you have to abstain from alcohol, spicy food, and greasy food for the next few days."

Yi Zhonghai remembered the doctor's instructions and told Sha Zhu these precautions.

"I've remembered all these dietary restrictions. Wait a minute, uncle. I need to go pee."

……

Let’s talk about the old lady and the deaf lady.

After learning that Sha Zhu was ill, Auntie was a little worried about his health. She still had some genuine feelings for Sha Zhu and He Yushui.

Especially He Yushui. When He Daqing left, He Yushui was only 6 years old. Sha Zhu went out to work, and He Yushui was mostly taken care of by her at home.

The aunt took the deaf old lady back to the courtyard by car.

In the yard, everyone greeted the deaf old lady politely when they saw her.

However, the deaf old lady seemed to be in a bad mood and ignored everyone. An old lady followed behind her and apologized repeatedly, saying that the old lady was in a bad mood.

Everyone knew that the deaf old lady was deaf, and they understood that she was in a bad mood at the time, so they didn't care much.

When he returned to the backyard, Xu Damao saw the deaf old lady and immediately ran home to get a few strings of firecrackers.

When the deaf old lady came in, Xu Damao lit firecrackers and threw them into the air.

The crackling sound of firecrackers rang out, welcoming the return of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady looked through the window at Xu Damao's joyful expression, and the expression on her face became increasingly gloomy.

There are four families in this courtyard who are at odds with her. Needless to say, the Jiang family has repeatedly disrupted her and Yi Zhonghai's plans.

When He Daqing was still alive, the He family didn't get along with her. He Daqing was such a shrewd person. If he hadn't been blinded by beauty, she and Yi Zhonghai would not have been able to plot against this father and son.

There is also Liu Haizhong's family. Because Liu Haizhong cannot provide for her in her old age, and she is close to Yi Zhonghai, she used to take advantage of her seniority and often favored Yi Zhonghai, so Liu Haizhong also doesn't get along with her.

Finally, there is the Xu family. Xu Wude is a guy who is no worse than He Daqing. He is good at dealing with people, planning, and being insidious and cunning.

Xu Wude is one of the people in this yard who dares not to give face to the deaf old lady.

Xu Wude is a bad seed in the eyes of the deaf old lady, and Xu Damao is also a little bad seed in her eyes.

In the plot, after getting close to Lou Xiao'e, he spoke ill of Xu Damao to her every day, trying to sow discord between the couple.

The deaf old lady took half the credit for Lou Xiao'e's divorce from Xu Damao. She then framed Lou Xiao'e and made her fall in love with Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu also worked hard and succeeded in one try, making Lou Xiao'e pregnant with his child.

Some people say that from Sha Zhu's perspective, the deaf old lady was a good person and left Sha Zhu with a child.

But what about Lou Xiao'e? Who can think about Lou Xiao'e?

In the end, Lou Xiao'e brought her child back to find Sha Zhu. She originally wanted to rekindle their old relationship with Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu fell into Qin Huairu's arms in a daze.

Lou Xiao'e was wronged. She spent money and effort, and almost lost her son.

Chapter 52 Yi Zhonghai Gets a Promise

After Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai came back, they immediately went to the deaf old lady's room.

"Grandma, are you okay?"

The deaf old lady couldn't hear what the two people were saying, but she could guess that they were asking her how she was doing.

"Zhonghai, Zhuzi, I'm fine. Zhuzi, why are you so sloppy? How can you find a wife like this? How can you let your grandma hold her great-grandson?"

Sha Zhu's mental state is better now, but the scraggly marks on his body are not deceptive.

"Grandma, I'm worried that you haven't slept well these past few days. I'll go get a bath ticket and go to the bathhouse to take a bath. Oh, you can't hear me even if I tell you this!"

After Sha Zhu said a few words, he suddenly remembered that the old lady was deaf and could not hear anything.

"Silly Zhu! Even if the old lady can't hear you, you should still say a few more words. The old lady treats you as her own grandson, so you have to be filial to her."

Yi Zhonghai immediately educated Sha Zhu and told him to be a filial child.

"I understand, uncle. How can I not be filial to grandma?"

"I know you are a good and filial child. Buy some meat in the evening and make something delicious for the old lady."

Yi Zhonghai nodded. He was still able to control Sha Zhu.

"Uncle, I would like to buy some, but I used up all my meat coupons during the Chinese New Year."

Sha Zhu gave a bitter laugh. He had used his meat coupons to buy meat during the Spring Festival, and all of it was on Yi Zhonghai's family's table. Now he didn't have even a single ounce of meat coupons left.
