Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 195 Hope
"Liu, Liu Haizhong... your uncle... needs to be taken care of..."

The deaf old lady spoke and gestured, her eyes staring straight at Liu Haizhong.

Before, Chen Caifeng had always been taking care of him, and Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu would bring her meat every now and then. His life was so comfortable.

Now she has nothing at once. She has to cook and empty the toilet by herself. She hasn't washed her clothes for a long time. How can she live like this?

No matter what, she had to let Liu Haizhong take over the task of taking care of her today. Even if Liu Haizhong disagreed, she had to let the people in the hospital take turns to take care of her.

"What nonsense, deaf old lady, straighten your tongue before you speak. Don't expect me to take care of you. What is our relationship? We are not related at all. It's useless for you to stay here."

Liu Haizhong waved his hands impatiently, not giving the deaf old lady any face at all.

In the past, I gave face to this old man because I was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would say that he did not respect the elderly and loved the young, which would make people in the yard have a problem with him.

Now that Yi Zhonghai has been driven out by him, there is no need for him to care about this old man's face.

"Liu Haizhong, you, you, you must not..."

The deaf old lady was so angry with him that her hand was shaking as she pointed at Liu Haizhong.

She didn't expect Liu Haizhong to dare to speak to her like that. If she wasn't really unable to walk, she really wanted to go to Hu Hongze tomorrow to complain about Liu Haizhong.

But after she returned to the yard, her body began to hurt again. She really couldn't stand such torture. Besides, she couldn't speak clearly now. If she went, Hu Hongze would only lose his patience.

If she were still in good health, she wouldn't let Liu Haizhong boss her around here.

"Okay, if you can't explain it clearly, then don't talk about it. My whole family is still waiting to continue eating. It's not like you can't live like this. You have made it through these few days. Forget about the life you had before."

Liu Haizhong impatiently interrupted the deaf old lady's stammering words, and quickly picked her up before the deaf old lady grabbed the table leg.

After Liang Ladi's fuss, he finally knew how to deal with this old thing. He just picked her up and put her there. It would take her a long time to get up without someone to help her.

Seeing that Liu Guangtian was still standing there, Liu Haizhong shouted at him, "What are you standing there for? Open the door, bring your crutches and help me take the man back. Do you still want to eat?"

"Hey, I'll open the door right away, Dad, you go first, I'll be right there."

Liu Guangtian rushed over and pushed the door open, then turned back, picked up his crutches and followed Liu Haizhong.

On the other side, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were standing at the door. When they saw this scene, they immediately turned back into the house and closed the door.

"What do you think? I'm right, right? This deaf old lady must be driven out by Liu Haizhong. Only a fool like you would rush to be a maid for a deaf old lady. If she really treats you well, would she make you and me quarrel every day?"

Xu Damao crossed his legs and raised his glass proudly.

Take a sip and enjoy it.

"Who are you calling stupid? If you didn't tell me, how would I know? The deaf old lady used to live a better life than so many people. I used to think that she was alone and had no children to take care of her at her age, so I thought about going over to accompany her more. Who knew she would be like this?"

Lou Xiao'e pinched Xu Damao in anger, but there was some discomfort in her eyes.

Before, she always thought that the deaf old lady was kind to her, but she didn't realize that she just wanted someone to take care of her and give her delicious food.

The reason why she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the deaf old lady was not because of what her parents said, but because she knew the experience of the boy who robbed her that night.

There were four younger brothers and sisters in the family. His father died early and his mother was paralyzed in bed. The boy worked in the factory during the day and did odd jobs in the street office at night, but the money he earned was still not enough to cover his expenses. His mother needed to take medicine all the time, and even if the factory would reimburse part of it, it was still a huge expense.

Everything that could be sold at home had been sold, and with no other options left, the idea of ​​robbery came to mind.

She heard these words from the 18 or 19-year-old boy herself, and it was at that time that she understood what real hard times were like.

Therefore, when she saw the deaf old lady again, she felt that she had lived a good life and that what she had done was really too much, and she no longer had the sympathy she had in the past.

Seeing the sadness on Lou Xiao'e's face, Xu Damao sneered and said disdainfully, "Are you thinking about beating up that little thief of yours again? I tell you, he deserves to be in prison for ten years. Do you really believe what he said?"

After hearing what he said, Lou Xiao'e asked in a daze, "What?"

A terrible guess came to her mind. That was the police interrogation room. How could someone so young lie there...

"What else? I mean you were deceived by him. Those things are true, but they didn't happen in his family. They happened to his relatives in the countryside. The family he was talking about has long been broken up. The eldest son had an accident while working, and his paralyzed mother also passed away. At that time, the second child of the family was only fourteen, and she took her eldest brother's job for more than a year, and then encountered those three years. There was really no other way, so the two youngest brothers were adopted by other families, and only the sister was left at home to depend on each other. Isn't this family broken up? Don't you think about it? If he really had a whole family to support, he would be able to come out and rob people. If something happened, the whole family would be finished. There is no such thing as taking over the job when something like this happens."

Xu Damao casually told everything he had found out, looked at Lou Xiao'e's changing expression, and took another sip of wine.

There are so many things like this in the countryside that you don’t feel anything after hearing them so many times.

"how so……"

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Lou Xiao'e felt weak all over and her face turned pale.

She would rather the boy's words were all made up, so that she would just be deceived once, and at least that tragedy would never happen.

"There's nothing I can't do. I won't hide it from you. You let that kid go. When that family was in the most difficult time, he insisted on taking half a bag of sweet potatoes. I told your dad everything I found out. That kid won't be able to leave the farm for ten years."

Xu Damao timely stabbed Lou Xiaoe in the heart again, his words full of amusement.

Miss Lou Xiao'e needs to know more about the sufferings of the world so that she can live a peaceful life with him. Didn't she see clearly the character of the deaf old woman after being deceived by that boy once?

"I……"

Lou Xiao'e sat down on the table and said with trembling lips: "Da Mao, thank you."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said casually: "If you want to thank me, stay away from the deaf old woman. I just want to live a peaceful life."

In the past, he always wanted to go along with Lou Xiaoe, but now he has finally figured it out. He can live with her whether he goes along with her or not, and there is no point in getting divorced.

Instead of spending time coaxing her, it’s better to live a comfortable life yourself.

I'm afraid the yard will be peaceful from now on. The deaf old woman doesn't like anyone, and now there's Liang Ladi from the Jia family who can suppress them.

He also had to live a good life with Lou Xiao'e, otherwise if there was any trouble he would be laughed at by the whole hospital, and Zhou Weimin might even have some ideas about him.

That was his only hope of moving up, and nothing could go wrong.
