Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

Chapter 25 The Deaf Old Lady's "Apology"

Lou Xiao'e followed behind Xu Guangfu, keeping pace with him.

Very curious, he asked, "Xiao Xu, is what you said true? Is the deaf old lady really that?"

Xu Guangfu looked at Lou Xiao'e who was incredulous and said calmly: "What do you think?"

"I don't know either. I think the old lady looks kind and gentle, and she's quite old, so I go to her whenever I have nothing to do. But she is indeed greedy."

"Then think about it carefully! Sister Lou, I'm going to the hospital first, we can talk later!"

Xu Guangfu hurriedly rode his bike to Yu Shui's unit to ask for leave for Yu Shui. After returning to the hospital, he bought some porridge on the way and carried a few big meat buns in his hand.

In the hospital, Yu Shui's fever had subsided. Xu Guangfu sat beside the bed, eating buns and watching Yu Shui sleeping.

Perhaps it was the smell of the meat buns that made Yu Shui moan and slowly open her eyes.

"Yushui, you're awake!" Xu Guangfu looked at Yushui with pity, "How do you feel? Are you hungry?"

Yu Shui looked at the nervous Xu Guangfu and smiled.

"I'm fine! Brother Guangfu, I'm a little hungry!" Yu Shui said in a hoarse voice.

"I bought you some porridge. I'll feed you."

Yu Shui looked at Xu Guangfu who was blowing the porridge carefully and smiled happily.

After drinking the porridge happily, Xu Guangfu went to wash the lunch box.

Yu Shui was staring blankly at Xu Guangfu's departing back, smiling foolishly.

Lou Xiao'e came to Yushui's ward and saw Yushui with a silly smile on her face and teased, "Yushui, who are you looking at?"

Yu Shui was startled when he heard the voice and then he found Lou Xiao'e standing in front of the bed.

"Sister Xiao'e, why are you here?"

"I came to see you. Who knows what you were thinking? You didn't even notice someone was next to you!" Lou Xiao'e looked at the rain meaningfully.

Yu Shui blushed upon hearing this, and said hesitantly, "No... I wasn't thinking about anything, I was just daydreaming."

Xu Guangfu returned to the ward and saw Lou Xiao'e and Yu Shui chatting animatedly, so he said, "That's great! Sister-in-law Xiao'e, please accompany Yu Shui. I have something else to do and need to go out for a while."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "It's okay! Go and get busy! I'm bored at home anyway, so I'll stay here with Yu Shui."

Yu Shui also said, "Brother Guangfu, I'm fine! Go and do whatever you want first!"

"Okay, I'll bring you lunch at noon!" After saying that, Xu Guangfu left.

Xu Guangfu came to the street office and found Wang Xiuhua: "Auntie Wang, I have something to ask you!"

"What's wrong, Guangfu?"

"I want to see the file of the deaf old lady in our hospital!"

Wang Xiuhua was a little hesitant when she heard this. "What happened? I asked you to look at the file..."

Xu Guangfu smiled and said, "Auntie Wang, I won't make it difficult for you. I will watch in your office and you can watch it yourself. Besides, I am a police officer, are you afraid of violating discipline?"

Wang Xiuhua nodded, "Xiao Xu, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? That old lady is not simple! She knows a lot of people, and the five-guarantee households were all set up by the district leaders!"

"It's okay, Aunt Wang! Don't worry, I know what's going on! Besides, I'm not simple either!"

Wang Xiuhua went to the archives to get the deaf old lady's file, and Xu Guangfu began to read it carefully in Wang Xiuhua's office.

The deaf old lady was originally named Wu Jinlian. According to archive records, she was born in 1887 and bought a house in 1913 and settled in the courtyard. During the Anti-Japanese War, she made great contributions to the cause of the war. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was classified as a poor peasant and was granted the qualification of a five-guarantee household.

Xu Guangfu looked at the file, sneered, and returned it to Wang Xiuhua.

"How is it? What discoveries?" Wang Xiuhua asked.

"Auntie Wang, please take a look! This file is too simple!"

"Making great contributions to the war of resistance?"

"What kind of contribution is that? Just such a general statement?"

"Also, before 49, the city was under enemy occupation. How did she, a woman, live before liberation? How did she make a living?"

"Also, how did she get the title of Five Guarantees household?"

"Auntie Wang, I will investigate this matter thoroughly! There is a serious problem with this file!"

Wang Xiuhua was a little worried and said, "I'm afraid this will involve a lot of people. You...Xiao Xu, why don't you just forget it!"

Xu Guangfu shook his head and said, "It's okay! I'm not someone you can mess with! If you push me into a corner, no one will be able to survive!"

"Auntie Wang, thank you for today! I'm leaving first!"

Xu Guangfu said hello and left the street office.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xu Guangfu found a small shop, ordered a few dishes and a bowl of chicken soup, and then returned to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, Yu Shui looked much better.

After the three of them finished their meal, Xu Guangfu went to ask the doctor.

The rain situation is not a big deal and you can be discharged from the hospital after the IV is finished.

The doctor prescribed some medicine and explained the precautions. Xu Guangfu paid for the medicine and returned to the ward to tell Yushui that she could go home soon.

The three of them were chatting in the ward. After the IV was finished, Xu Guangfu wrapped himself tightly in his military coat and was discharged from the hospital.

Yu Shui was still a little weak, so she sat on the bicycle. Lou Xiao'e supported Yu Shui, and Xu Guangfu pushed the bicycle, chatting and laughing as they walked home.

When he returned to the yard, Yi Zhonghai had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Xu Guangfu, he ran over and greeted him warmly: "Yushui is back? How is he?"

Yu Shui shook her head: "It's okay! Thank you for your concern!"

After sending Yushui home, covering her with a blanket and letting her lie down, and helping her light the stove, Xu Guangfu left Yushui's house.

Lou Xiao'e went home and put away the medicine she bought. After taking it, she came to Yu Shui's room to chat with Yu Shui.

When Xu Guangfu returned home, he found that not only had the glass been replaced, but even the glass shards had been cleaned up.

After Xu Guangfu sat down, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and entered the room.

"Xiao Xu! The old lady was wrong in this matter! The old lady is old and sometimes her mind is a little confused. Xiao Xu, you are a magnanimous person. Don't argue with the old lady!"

"Besides, the old lady is so old. It would not sound good if a young man like you bullied an old lady!"

"The old lady has already had the windows repaired and the broken glass cleared away. There is not a single shard of glass left! Look, the old lady has already apologized, so don't pursue the matter!"

Xu Guangfu looked at Yi Zhonghai coldly and said, "Master Yi, you can leave now!"

"Yu Shui is in the hospital, but she feels at ease! Is this about the window? Apology? I don't need it! And if I'm not mistaken, you did all this work!"

"She didn't even show up to apologize. She's so arrogant!"

After saying this, Xu Guangfu said no more and started drinking his tea.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai realized that it was useless to say more and turned away.

Soon, Sha Zhu came to Xu Guangfu with a pot of chicken soup.

"Xiao Xu, I heard that Yu Shui was sick, so I specially stewed an old hen to nourish Yu Shui's body." As he said this, he put the chicken soup on the table.

Then he said, "Xiao Xu! Look, the rain has returned. I guess the problem isn't that serious!"

Sha Zhu rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "Why don't we just forget about it!"

Xu Guangfu lit a cigarette and sneered, "Your sister was murdered and is in the hospital, and you didn't even look at her. You come to tell me this? Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu! You are such a good brother!"

"Go away! I don't want to talk to you!"

Sha Zhu didn't say anything for a long time, and finally sighed, "Remember to let Yu Shui drink the soup."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

After a while, Yan Bugui came to inform Xu Guangfu to attend a meeting.

Xu Guangfu served the chicken soup to Yushui and Lou Xiaoe, asking them to drink it first. Then he went out to attend a meeting.

At the meeting, Liu Haizhong severely criticized the deaf old lady for smashing the glass of Xu Guangfu's house. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai apologized on behalf of the deaf old lady and promised that she would not do it again. He also expressed the hope that Xu Guangfu would be magnanimous and forgive the old lady for her momentary confusion.

The deaf old lady still did not appear.
