Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Chapter 817 Nursing Home

The following winter

"Uncle, the New Year is coming soon. How are we going to spend the day?"

Chen Dapao was a chatterbox. When he saw Liu Haizhong preparing to fight facing north, he couldn't help but ask a question.

Everyone has worked hard for a year and is looking forward to a day of rest and family reunion at the end of the year!

But this matter hits Lao Liu's fragile heart!

Although he didn't respond and his eyes were still empty and expressionless, his heart was actually already filled with waves.

Every year, it’s sad.

This year has been another messy year.

"Don't mess around in front of me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Chen Dapao had a bewildered look on his face, and looking at his expressionless face in his bangs, it was really confusing.

"Second..." Second Uncle... What's wrong with you? Didn't we write couplets and give out candies together at the end of the year in previous years? What's wrong? Is there not enough funds this year?"

Chen Dapao hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter yet and continued to pester Liu Haizhong for explanation.

But there was an increasing murderous look in Old Liu's sharp eyes!

Chen Dapao was so frightened that he took several steps back, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared...

"Haha, haha...haha, Uncle, what are you doing? You're playing tricks so early in the morning and it's really scary!"

Having said that, Chen Dapao ran away in shame, fearing that he would be caught and criticized by Liu Haizhong.

At this time, Old Liu was like a frightened bird. Don't talk to him. He would look for fire as soon as it happened. One could not help but suspect that he was committing fraud in the yard!

He was guarding the gate early in the morning. So many people were coming and going, but Liu Haizhong seemed to be nailed there, staring in a daze towards the southwest.

No matter who greeted him, he acted as if he couldn't hear anything. It was not until Xu Damao passed by that he saw Liu Haizhong in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

"Hey, what about Second Uncle? Are you imitating Old Man Yan as a door god? He doesn't guard the door anymore. He walks around every day. You should learn from him!"

Liu Haizhong was hit hard by Xu Damao again. He turned back subconsciously and their eyes met. Xu Damao lost everything.

At this moment, Old Liu was like a god of war, his eyes were as cold as swords, as if he was about to charge into battle in the next second and was ready to fight at any time.

"Second uncle...you...what's wrong with you!"

Xu Damao was obviously frightened by Lao Liu's cold eyes!

Just when he was about to explain, the stubborn Liu Da Nao burst into tears the next second.

The contrast between the two was so great that Xu Damao was shocked.

"Don't worry, if others see me, they will think I am bullying the old, weak and disabled! What's going on? How about I help you call Qin Huairu?"

"Need not!"

When asked to call someone, Liu Haizhong waved his hand to refuse.

"Well, Qin Huairu has to be able to cure you!"

"Go to hell Xu Damao, why are you so talkative! I'm warning you, don't look for trouble, I'll tell Qin Huairu later and let him deal with you!"

Liu Haizhong widened his eyes and yelled at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but mutter a few words, "If this happened in the past, you would have been so angry that you fainted. You are old and still think you are young!"

"You think you're the king, the tiger king! Ugh!"

Having said that, Xu Damao left with his bag. Now Xu Damao was free and happy.

In order to do business with Bang Geng, he mortgaged Xu Wood's old house at all costs and made a huge sum of money without any effort.

But fortunately, Banggeng abandoned him and didn't take him to play. Now, he has a huge amount of money in his pocket and lives a happy life every day.

I even quit my job as a propagandist. I don't care if it's a stable job or a porcelain job. I don't care!

How carefree it would be to go to Fairy Island every day without going to work.

Life is so comfortable.

But it has been a year or so now. I have not been working for years and have no source of income. I spend money lavishly and my savings are almost gone.

These days, Xu Damao has been thinking about business opportunities everywhere. He has been accustomed to a wealthy life, so naturally he cannot lower his living standards.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Uncle Chen, everyone come over for dinner!"

In the main house in the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu, wearing an apron, prepared breakfast and called out at the door.

Then there was the sound of the door creaking open.

There were also sounds of clearing throats and coughing.

"Oh, what a nice day today! The sun is shining brightly and it's warm. Let's go eat!"

The person who spoke was none other than Old Chen. Old Chen's eldest son moved away with his family just like Liu Guangqi. The second son was a gigolo. Even after he got married and moved out, he would come back every day to ask for money. As a result, almost all of Old Chen's savings were taken away by the second son.

All that's left is an old house and a monthly pension to live on.

After the Chinese New Year two years ago, my wife suddenly fainted. Even after the treatment, she was paralyzed on one side. Having been taken care of all his life, he was very uncomfortable when suddenly there was no one at home to do his laundry and cooking for him.

For this reason, he had to go to the nursing home opened by Qin Huairu. He gave most of his salary to Qin Huairu for food expenses, and used the remaining small amount to buy medicine for his wife. Life was very difficult.

Qin Huairu is a kind person. From time to time, she would buy some medicine for them and send it to their home, which made their lives more comfortable.

After the old people came into the house one after another and sat around a table ready to eat, everyone looked at each other and took out money from their pockets.

"Huai Ru, this is this month's food allowance, keep it for now, and if it's not enough later, come and tell us!"

The person who spoke was the second uncle. The second aunt smiled awkwardly and stared at a stack of money.

"Uncle, it's not time to get paid this month yet. Do you have any extra money? If you're short on money, you can give it to me later!"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu served the old people porridge, and brought out steaming white steamed buns and pickled vegetable leaves, and then sat down to prepare to eat.

However, as soon as I sat down and picked up the chopsticks, I realized something was wrong. Every day when the restaurant opens, everyone sits down and chats and interrupts each other, but today it was surprisingly quiet.

Qin Huairu looked up and saw that the second aunt's eyes were a little dull and she was staring at the pile of money, so she made a joke.

"Second Aunt, you must be worried about it! It's okay, if you think it's too much, just take some back!"

"Wuwuwuwu... Huairu, Huairu, I'm sorry for making you suffer..."

Second Aunt's sudden crying made everyone lose all mood to eat.

What else is there to eat? Just go back to your old ways and start watching the fun.
