Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Liu Guangfu chimed in.

"Dad, does that mean that old man doesn't have to go to work now that he's like this?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Liu Haizhong's eyes.

"Him? He still goes to work?"

"Forget about holding pliers, he probably can't even hold a broom properly now."

At this point, Liu Haizhong paused for a moment.

"Right, then he won't be able to go back to work at the factory, right?"

"In that case, we won't have to clean the toilets anymore, right?"

"Damn it, this old bastard escaped punishment this time."

Liu Guangtian laughed.

"Alright, stop arguing about this. They risked half their lives to get this."

"If the old man had the choice, he would probably rather sweep the floor until retirement than live the life he does now."

..............................................................................

The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane and supported by He Yuzhu, left the courtyard, got on her bicycle, and soon arrived at the Sixth Hospital.

Yi Zhonghai's ward was on the second floor. After the two arrived at the hospital, they were about to go up the stairs when the deaf old lady saw Lou Xiao'e coming out of the bathroom.

"Xiao'e, what are you doing at the hospital?"

Lou Xiao'e has not returned to the courtyard house since she left, and it has been a month and a half since she last saw the deaf old lady.

The two got along quite well when they lived in the courtyard house, so she was quite happy to see the deaf old lady.

However, this place wasn't quite right for them to meet, so she stepped forward and looked the deaf old woman up and down.

"Grandma, I have a bit of a stomachache. I've come to see a doctor to get some medicine."

"You don't look as well as you did when I left. You're at the hospital during the Chinese New Year. Are you feeling unwell?"

Lou Xiao'e spoke frankly, without any of the usual pleasantries, and asked the question directly.

"That's a long story, let's talk about it later, mother and son. I came to see Xiao Yi today."

Lou Xiao'e knew that the "Little Yi" the deaf old woman was talking about must be Yi Zhonghai.

"What happened to the old man?"

Just as the deaf old lady was about to speak, Lou Xiao'e felt a churning in her stomach. She waved to the deaf old lady, covered her mouth, and ran away.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's condition, the deaf old lady couldn't help but become suspicious, and He Yuzhu, who was supporting her, muttered something to herself.

"Even a capitalist's daughter can get food poisoning?"

The deaf old lady nudged Sha Zhu with her cane.

"Watch your mouth, don't say anything carelessly."

"You have no sense of propriety when it comes to your words, you blurt out everything."

After saying that, she asked Sha Zhu to help her continue upstairs, muttering to herself as she went.

"This doesn't look like something bad he ate."

Sha Zhu was close by, so he could hear it clearly.

"Over there, this stomach upset isn't just from eating bad food; it could also be from eating too much good food and having indigestion."

"Why come to the hospital for such a minor illness? Just take a few digestive enzyme tablets."

"A young lady is a young lady no matter where she goes, no wonder Xu Damao can't afford to support her."

The deaf old woman asked.

"Shazhu, when did Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao divorce?"

Sha Zhu pondered for a moment and said.

"I don't really remember the exact date, but it was around the time of my accident, probably more than a month ago."

The deaf old lady nodded.

"A little over a month, maybe that's about right."

Sha Zhu was confused by these words.

"Grandma, what do you mean by 'almost'?"

The deaf old woman shook her head.

"It's nothing, let's go see your uncle first."

........................................................................

An older woman went out to fetch water and had just reached the door when she heard a thud. She quickly pushed the door open and saw Yi Zhonghai already sitting on the ground.

"Old Yi, Old Yi, are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and comforted him.

"It's nothing, I just lost my balance and fell to the ground."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to stand up and walk around the room, but his legs were shaking so badly that he felt very uncomfortable.

He lost his balance and fell down. Luckily, there was a bed right next to him, and he instinctively grabbed it to get down on the floor.

Otherwise, if he had fallen on his butt on the concrete, it would have really hurt him.

An older woman called out to a passing nurse, and the two of them together managed to get Yi Zhonghai back onto the bed.

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, your current condition is not suitable for you to move around too much. You should rest in bed more and do rehabilitation exercises after your body has recovered a bit."

After saying that, the nurse gave the older woman some more instructions.

"Your family members must spend more time with the patient, comfort him, and prevent him from thinking about unnecessary things."

"Try to keep someone by your side at all times to avoid accidents."

After the nurse left, an older woman took a pillow and placed it behind Yi Zhonghai's back, looking aggrieved.

"Old Yi, what sins have we committed in this life?"

“We didn’t compete or fight, and we took good care of the deaf old lady. When she was about to pass away, we arranged all the funeral arrangements.”

"Now that she's alive, she's done you such a terrible thing. I wish she had never come back to life and had just died, so I could have peace of mind!"

Outside the ward, Sha Zhu was furious when he heard this. He was about to go inside and argue with the old lady when the deaf old woman grabbed his hand.

She dragged Sha Zhu away, and Sha Zhu said angrily.

"Grandma, why are you pulling me? Didn't you hear how she cursed you?"

"I absolutely have to go inside and have a serious talk with her!"

The deaf old woman shook her head.

"Forget it, grandson, this isn't your aunt's fault. It's understandable that she's resentful."

"Silly Pillar snorted."

"Even if you harbor resentment, you can't curse the elderly! What is that? That's called the greatest act of filial impiety!"

"They used to talk about filial piety all the time, but where has their filial piety gone now?"

The deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her indignant grandson.

My silly grandson has been brainwashed too much by Yi Zhonghai; he's being overly filial.

The elders would naturally love to have such a child, but it might not be suitable for him personally.

It seems she has to find another way out for her silly grandson; she can't let him go down the same path as Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, the deaf old lady saw Lou Xiao'e walk into the gastroenterology department not far away, and she suddenly felt a renewed sense of hope.

"Grandson, let me ask you, if I found you a wife who already has a child, would you marry her?"

He Yuzhu was stunned when he heard the deaf old lady's words. In the past, if she hadn't said something, He Yuzhu would have immediately turned hostile.

But he knows his own physical condition now. Xu Damao is having difficulty conceiving, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

As for him, as the doctor said, there is no hope at all.

Therefore, he was already thinking about adopting a child when he was considering marrying Qin Jingru.

He Yuzhu helped the deaf old lady to a chair in the corridor and sat her down.

"Grandma, I don't have that many choices anymore."

"But taking care of children is really a bit of a hassle. Wouldn't I just be a sucker, raising someone else's child?"

"That's what the deaf old lady said."
