Siheyuan: I can change size at will

Cao Zhengshuang comforted others with his unique open-minded attitude, with a bit of lightness and humor in his words: "Hey, don't take it to heart, the sky won't fall just because you don't get married.

Taking a step back, even if you really become paralyzed, you still have to live your life. Look, the deaf old lady is facing the same dilemma, isn't she?

Didn’t our comrade Xu Damao take good care of them?”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Damao felt a mixture of emotions, as if he had swallowed a fly. The feeling was unpleasant and indescribable.

These days, the reason why he tried so hard to win over Sha Zhu, who seemed honest but was actually kind-hearted, was that there was an unknown thought behind it.

It turned out that the task of taking care of the deaf old lady was a physically and mentally exhausting test for him.

The deep friendship between the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, as well as the good relationship between Sha Zhu and the two of them, gave Xu Damao a flash of inspiration and an idea emerged - if he could let Sha Zhu take over this heavy responsibility, wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone?

On the one hand, it can reduce my own burden, and on the other hand, it can ensure that the deaf old lady is properly cared for.

Anyway, it is Shazhu who suffers in the end, so it's all right as long as he can free himself.

Looking back on the days of taking care of the deaf old lady, Xu Damao did everything himself, from taking care of the excrement and urine every day to delivering meals and washing clothes on time. Every trivial but necessary task made him feel unprecedented despair.

He couldn't help but sigh that the life in the past few days seemed to condense all the bitterness of life, and every day was an extreme challenge to patience and murderous intent.

That’s right, Xu Damao was forced to come up with the idea of ​​killing the deaf old lady.

However, Cao Zhengshuang's words not only made Xu Damao feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, but also shocked Liu Guangqi who was standing beside him. He felt as if he had been pricked by a needle and could not believe it.

He never expected that Cao Zhengshuang would so directly compare their plight with that of the deaf old lady. This sudden comparison made Liu Guangqi feel mixed emotions and even a hint of despair.

In sharp contrast, Liu Haizhong was deeply encouraged after hearing it, as if he saw a ray of light in the haze.

He looked at Cao Zhengshuang approvingly, his eyes full of admiration: "Cao Zhengshuang, you are indeed the best of the younger generation in our courtyard. Your optimism and positivity are like a force that cannot be underestimated, inspiring each of us."

Liu Haizhong's words were full of sincere appreciation. He believed that it was this positive energy that could lead everyone to overcome difficulties.

Hearing this, Cao Zhengshuang's smile was still warm and confident. He waved his hand and said modestly: "This is nothing. Neighbors should help each other.

I have an idea. Why not call a meeting of all the neighbors in the community tonight to discuss how to raise funds and supplies for the second uncle's family.

After all, the second uncle's home was severely damaged by Yan Jiecheng, and Liu Guangqi's subsequent medical expenses and living expenses must not be a small amount. "

These words were like a gentle spring breeze, warming the hearts of everyone present.

Liu Haizhong was deeply moved by Cao Zhengshuang's proposal. His eyes were slightly wet and his voice was slightly choked with sobs: "Cao Zhengshuang, thank you so much. You are really a great benefactor to our whole family!"

He knew very well that at this critical juncture, any help would be like timely assistance, and Cao Zhengshuang's initiative was undoubtedly the most timely and powerful support.

Cao Zhengshuang still maintained that simple smile, shook his head gently and said, "No, no, you are too polite, Uncle. We are all neighbors living together in the same courtyard day and night, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Cao Zhengshuang and the other two stayed in the hospital for a while before returning to the courtyard. He instructed the two of them, "Quickly go and inform everyone in the hospital that there will be a general meeting tonight."

"Okay." Although Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were unwilling, they knew the consequences of disobedience and could only obey.

They began to go door to door to spread the news of Cao Zhengshuang's meeting.

There was a series of rapid and powerful knocks on the door, "Dong Dong Dong...", followed by shouts: "Open the door, there is an emergency meeting of the whole courtyard in the front yard, and those who are absent will bear the consequences at their own risk."

"Cao Zhengshuang is going to hold a meeting for the entire hospital. It's in the front yard. Everyone, hurry up and don't miss any important news."

"Everyone, hurry up. I heard there is something important to announce. Don't be late and regret it."

As time went by, the residents of the courtyard gradually gathered in the front yard, and everyone's face was filled with impatience and confusion.

The complaints were like summer flies, buzzing: "Why another meeting? How long has it been since then?"

"I'm afraid that all the meetings for the year in our courtyard have been held ahead of schedule."

"It's all Cao Zhengshuang's fault. He has the final say now. We'd better be careful."

The front yard gradually became crowded, the whispers among the crowd formed an invisible web, and the tension and uneasiness quietly spread in the air.

Yan Bugui's family was naturally swept up in this torrent and became the focus of everyone's attention.

After all, his son Yan Jiecheng had just beaten Liu Haizhong's family into the hospital.

He was nervous and terrified. He had a premonition that the whole school meeting tonight might be aimed at him.

Cao Zhengshuang looked around and confirmed that everyone was basically present. Then he spoke in a deep voice, his tone mixed with regret that was difficult to conceal: "I believe everyone present has heard about the sudden disaster that Second Master's family suffered recently.

No one in their family was spared and all suffered injuries to varying degrees, but the worst hit was Liu Guangqi.

A young man who was once full of energy is now confined to bed, completely paralyzed. He may never be able to stand and walk again in his lifetime."

Having said that, Cao Zhengshuang shook his head, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and the air around him seemed to become heavy because of this unfortunate news.

Upon hearing this, the residents in the courtyard exchanged sympathetic glances and sighed one after another.

"Alas, Liu Guangqi has such a tragic fate," an elderly woman said with emotion, "He is in his prime, but he has to endure such a heavy blow."

"Yes," a middle-aged man next to him took over the conversation, "He is paralyzed in bed at such a young age. His life will be very difficult. Marrying a wife and having children, which are common things in the eyes of ordinary people, may have become a luxury for him."

Another woman sighed, her voice full of helplessness: "What girl would be willing to marry a man who can't take care of himself? Even if he's from the countryside, he still has to think about his future. Such a marriage is too bitter."

"Liu Guangqi is usually kind and helpful to others. He really lives up to the old saying, 'Good men don't live long, but bad men live for a thousand years.'" A neighbor who usually gets along well with the Liu family shook his head and sighed, his words full of indignation at the unfairness of fate.

"However, fortunately, Old Liu still has three other sons," someone tried to find a glimmer of comfort in the sadness, "Even if Liu Guangqi can no longer take on the responsibility of carrying on the family line, the bloodline of the Liu family will not be cut off.

Things are unpredictable, I hope that their family can get out of the haze as soon as possible and find hope in life again."
