Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

The conversation that took place between the third uncle and the Jia family also took place at the second uncle's house.

"How did the old lady fall?" The second aunt asked as soon as she saw the second uncle come home.

"It's just bad luck."

"People say that when you're unlucky, even drinking water can make your throat choke. Today I've seen it for myself."

"Speaking of which, I should blame Shazhu for sending such a nice gift of fish."

"Otherwise, this wouldn't happen."

"I'm so thirsty from all this trouble."

The second uncle stopped talking here, grabbed the teacup on the table and drank the water.

When Second Aunt saw Second Uncle picking up the teacup to drink water, she looked at Second Uncle and became more and more curious, wondering why it was all about Sha Zhu.

Seeing that the second aunt was looking at him with confusion, the second uncle drank a few sips of water before continuing speaking.

"It must be about Shazhu."

"The old lady fell down because she ate the fish that Sha Zhu sent her. A fish bone got stuck in her throat. Do you think it has anything to do with Sha Zhu?"

After hearing what the second uncle said, the second aunt finally understood why the old lady fell down and sighed:

"This old lady is so unlucky."

"Yes, the doctor said that if there was someone there at the time, he wouldn't have fallen."

"So, you must not become a family without a son. If the old lady had a child, this would never have happened."

"Okay, time to go to bed."

"I have to get up early tomorrow to report to the neighborhood committee and the street office."

"Hey, the old lady fell down, there are still many things to come."

……

Early the next morning, Cai Quanwu got up and went out to wash up with his toiletries.

As Cai Quanwu walked to the sink, he saw Sha Zhu coming out of the house with red eyes, holding a basin and a towel.

Seeing Sha Zhu, Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment before asking, "Zhu Zi, when did you come back?"

"I came back just after dawn and slept for a while." Sha Zhu answered as he walked towards the pool with his things.

"How's the old lady?"

Cai Quanwu was curious, did Sha Zhu's return mean that the old lady was fine?

"She woke up in the middle of the night, but the doctor checked and said that the old lady had a head injury. Now she is slurring her speech and is paralyzed on one side. She will have to stay in bed from now on."

Sha Zhu put the basin next to the sink and spoke in a low voice.

Cai Quanwu originally thought that the deaf old lady was fine, but after hearing what Sha Zhu said, he felt that it was more painful than death.

Slurred speech and hemiplegia.

Although Cai Quanwu is not a doctor, he knows from watching short videos that this is not a symptom of hemiplegia.

Now that the old lady is paralyzed, she will have a hard time in the future.

It is said that there will be no filial sons for a patient who has been ill for a long time, let alone a deaf old lady who has no children.

It is definitely not possible to rely on the people in the hospital in this situation.

I don’t know how the higher-ups will handle the matter after Lao Liu and Lao Yan report it.

Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu quickly asked Sha Zhu:

"Zhu Zi, have you told the second and third uncles about the old lady waking up?"

The second and third uncles have to go to the street to report.

Now that the old lady has woken up, she must explain everything to the two uncles, otherwise they will go to the street and report that the old lady is in a coma.

Then we went to the hospital and found that the old lady had woken up. That was really a lie.

"I haven't said it yet."

Shazhu didn't know why Cai Quanwu asked this, so he answered honestly.

"Why don't you tell them quickly? They have to report it."

"Don't brush your teeth or wash your face yet. Hurry up and tell them first. You go to the backyard and tell the second uncle. I'll go to the front yard to find the third uncle."

It's still early now, and Cai Quanwu estimated that the two uncles probably haven't gone to report yet.

The neighborhood committee and the street office are both open and closed as usual, and if you go early there won't be anyone there.

When Sha Zhu heard what Cai Quanwu said, he lost interest in brushing his teeth or washing his face and quickly ran to the backyard.

Cai Quanwu put his things down and went to the front yard calmly.

I just told the two uncles and it didn't delay too long.

After about five minutes, the two returned to the middle courtyard and began to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

After they brushed their teeth and washed their faces, Cai Quanwu asked Sha Zhu, "Zhu Zi, are you going to work today?"

"go to work."

"The old lady woke up, and the doctor said that more people would be useless."

Sha Zhu looked at Cai without answering.

"Okay, then go to work."

As soon as Cai Quanwu finished speaking, Sha Zhu nodded, took his things and went home.

Unexpectedly, Cai Quanwu came back with Sha Zhu carrying toiletries.

"Uncle, is there anything else?"

When Sha Zhu saw Cai Quanwu following him home, he asked in confusion.

Cai Quanwu did have something to say to Sha Zhu.

However, some things were difficult to say in the yard, so he followed Sha Zhu back to the house.

"It's something."

"Time is limited in the morning, so I'll keep it short."

Hearing that Cai Quanwu really had something to say, Sha Zhu became serious.

"Uncle, tell me."

"Ah."

"I think there will be a meeting in the courtyard tonight regarding this matter of the old lady."

"Don't take on too much responsibility when the time comes."

Cai Quanwu knew Sha Zhu's temper. If people from the neighborhood committee and the street came to talk about unity, friendship, and mutual help, Cai Quanwu was afraid that Sha Zhu would get carried away and take on the task of taking care of the deaf old lady.

This is different from delivering meals every now and then.

People who are paralyzed in bed have a lot of things to deal with.

Not only do you need to change your baby's diapers, but you also need to turn him over frequently, wipe his body, and change his clothes.

Are you kidding? If Shazhu takes this job, who will do it?

"No, uncle, we are all from the same courtyard, isn't it my duty to take care of you? How can one be so selfish?"

Sha Zhu did not agree with Cai Quanwu's words, and used Yi Zhonghai's old saying that people should not be too selfish to refute Cai Quanwu.

Hearing Sha Zhu say that people should not be too selfish, Cai Quanwu immediately flew into a rage. He held a washbasin in one hand and hit Sha Zhu hard on the head with the other hand, cursing:

"You don't understand what people are saying."

Sha Zhu was hit and he quickly backed away, touching his head.

He was known as the God of War in the Siheyuan Courtyard, but that was towards outsiders. How could he dare to show off in front of Cai Quanwu?

I saw Sha Zhu retreating while shouting, "Uncle, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hitting me?"

"What happened if I hit you?"

"Dissatisfied?"

"How about we practice?"

Faced with Tsai Quanwu's aggressiveness, Sha Zhu quickly backed down.

"Uncle, no, no, I dare not fight with you." Sha Zhu had no choice but to apologize with a smile.

When Cai Quanwu saw that Sha Zhu had admitted his mistake, he was just thinking about continuing the previous topic when the second uncle walked in from outside the door.

As soon as the second uncle entered the door, he said:

"No, Shazhu gave the fish to the old lady out of kindness, but he did something bad with good intentions. Please give me some face and give her a few slaps to teach her a lesson."

When Cai Quanwu heard what the second uncle said, he was stunned, then he realized that the second uncle probably heard Sha Zhu's words "Why did you hit people" and had a misunderstanding, so he ran over.

It might be because the last time the second uncle beat Liu Guangtian, Cai Quanwu went to the second uncle’s house to persuade him.

This time, after hearing what Sha Zhu said, the second uncle thought of following suit and also persuade Cai Quanwu to show his presence.

After figuring it out, Cai Quanwu followed Second Uncle's thoughts and shouted at Sha Zhu: "Second Uncle pleaded for you this time, so I will spare you. If it happens again next time, you will see how I will deal with you."

Cai Quanwu's words were ambiguous. When the second uncle heard that Cai Quanwu was giving him face, he was in a good mood. He took out a cigarette and handed it to Cai Quanwu, saying with a smile:

"Although Shazhu had good intentions but did something bad this time, his spirit is still worth promoting."

"Fortunately, the old lady was rescued in time and is now awake. No irreversible consequences were caused. This is a blessing in disguise."
