Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 121 Fainting
At the same time, inside the courtyard.

He Daqing came back from outside the yard carrying two packages of snacks and a roast duck wrapped in four oil-paper bags.

In order to treat Zhou Weimin to dinner tonight, he spent a lot of money. Just a roast duck cost eight yuan, and if he was a little frugal, it would be enough for two people's food for a month.

"Hey, Lao He, how much money did you spend to buy so many things?"

Aunt Yan faintly smelled the fragrance coming from the oil-paper bag and subconsciously struck up a conversation with He Daqing.

"It's not much money. Weimin helped Yushui a lot before, so I have to prepare some decent dishes when I invite him to dinner."

He Daqing smiled slightly, said something casually, and went straight back to the house.

"It seems that He Daqing has saved a lot of money in Baocheng. From what he said, he should not cause trouble for our family."

Aunt Yan looked at his back as he left, muttered a few words to herself, and then went back to her own business.

He Daqing put down the things in his hand and went out again.

He closed the door casually and walked towards the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai's wife was there, and the deaf old woman should have known about the fact that he beat Yi Zhonghai yesterday.

It was just the right time to go there. Before, this old woman had teamed up with Yi Zhonghai to plot against him. Now that he couldn't fight her, he could still vent his anger.

"Old lady, I came to see you, why are you lying in bed again?"

As soon as he opened the door, He Daqing saw the deaf old woman lying in bed in pain, and he felt relieved.

Aunt Yi, who was tidying up the house, stopped what she was doing upon hearing this and advised with some helplessness: "Old He, please stop talking. The old lady has been feeling unwell these days, so please don't make things difficult for her."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to cause trouble. You don't know, when I was in Baocheng, the family next to the house lived there, and there was an old lady lying in bed all the time. She was fine before when she was walking around, but she felt uncomfortable after being blown by the cold wind. She died after lying in bed for a month or so. It's not good for people to lie in bed all the time. Old lady, if you can move, you can get out of bed and take a few steps. It's better than lying down."

He Daqing's words had hidden meanings, but when he said them, he acted as if he was doing it for your own good, and it was hard to find fault with him.

The deaf old lady listened to He Daqing's sarcasm, forced herself to sit up, and said coldly: "He Daqing, I know you are angry with me, but you should never come back. I was able to suppress the matter at the beginning, and now I can also expose it again."

"Oh? So you all know about this. I was really stupid back then. Didn't Chen Caifeng tell you that Yi Zhonghai embezzled the money I sent back over the years and also withheld the letters I sent back?"

He Daqing was still smiling, his words full of sarcasm.

One by one, they used that incident as a bargaining chip to threaten him. Not to mention that he had the leverage over Yi Zhonghai, even if he didn't have it, he would never compromise because of this matter.

I left before because of Shazhu's future. If possible, who would be willing to leave their hometown?

But what he saw now was that if he hadn't come back, I'm afraid that Sha Zhu would have been eaten by these people until not even a bone would be left.

"Lao He, what do you mean by this?"

Chen Caifeng, also known as Aunt Yi, grasped the key point of the words and walked eagerly to the bedside of the deaf old lady.

Something was wrong with her husband after he came back yesterday. No matter how she asked, he said he was fine. She was afraid it had something to do with the letter He Daqing had mentioned. "Hahahaha, Yi Zhonghai didn't even tell you. How ridiculous. Old lady, why are you still pretending? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the police and when you die, no one will collect your body?"

He Daqing showed no mercy and looked straight at the deaf old lady, still with a smile on his face.

He didn't know whether the mastermind behind the incident back then was Yi Zhonghai or this deaf old woman, but it didn't matter, they both had to be dealt with anyway.

"He Daqing, what do you want to do! If you dare to touch Xiao Yi, I will hang myself at your doorstep. I, an old woman, won't live for many days. If you don't believe me, just try it!"

The deaf old lady was in a trance for a moment, and she remembered the mass graves in the suburbs before liberation.

It is now impossible for Sha Zhu to help her deal with her funeral. If something happens to Yi Zhonghai again, she is afraid that she will really have to go to a mass grave!

She knew that being a ghost wouldn't scare He Daqing, and now she was the only life she had that could still make He Daqing afraid of her.

Having lived to such an old age, she is more afraid of no one taking care of her affairs after her death or burning paper for her than dying.

"Old lady, since you said so, I can't help but show some appreciation. How about this, as long as you hang yourself at my doorstep, I won't do anything to Yi Zhonghai. Since you are not afraid of death, you will not ruin Yi Zhonghai's life out of fear."

"Hahahahaha..."

He Daqing smiled happily, turned around and walked out of the house.

He knew this deaf old lady too well. She only said nice things to him. If he really asked her to die, she wouldn't have the courage to do so!
"You! You! He Daqing, He! Da! Qing! You will not have a good death!"

The deaf old lady was furious. She raised her trembling hand and pointed at the door, screaming hysterically.

His body, already weak from excessive fatigue, could no longer hold on and he fainted from anger.

"Old lady, old lady! Someone come quickly, the old lady has fainted!"

When Aunt Yi saw that the deaf old lady suddenly stopped moving, she shook her body twice in panic. Seeing that she still didn't respond, she hurriedly ran out of the house and shouted loudly in the yard.

The courtyard was in chaos for a moment. The people who stayed in the yard hurriedly put the deaf old lady on the cart and hurried to the hospital.

Lou Xiao'e walked in front of the cart, clearing the way with an anxious look on her face, tears still on her face.

The deaf old lady was the best person to her in the yard, so how could she suddenly faint? I hope nothing happened to her.

……

Soon, people who were working in the yard rushed to the hospital.

Just now, the hospital issued a critical illness notice for the deaf old lady. Since she had no relatives, the hospital contacted Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle in the hospital.

After receiving the news, Yi Zhonghai asked Zhu Shunming to bring the news to all the people in the factory, and also asked Zhu Shunming to go to the school and ask Yan Bugui to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

Although the retirement plan here at Shazhu is almost hopeless now, the culture of respecting the elderly and loving the young must still be maintained.

After Sha Zhu is gone, he can still find someone else to take care of him in his old age, but the culture of respecting the elderly and loving the young has disappeared in the yard. His words in the yard will not be so effective in the future, and that will directly affect his life!
