Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"What other identity?"

The aunt became even more confused after listening to this.

"No, I just said it casually. Don't mention it to anyone else."

Yi Zhonghai's face looked solemn.

"No, what you just said was that my sister went to keep an eye on the people who were looking for the deaf old lady?"

An old lady quit.

No one wants to slip away in the middle of a conversation.

I thought I was a three-year-old kid.

"Go ahead and close the door and lock it."

"Let's go to bed early."

Yi Zhonghai moved the teacup a little bit inside.

"No, I won't let you touch me until you explain it to me today."

The old lady pouted.

It seems that acting like a spoiled child and getting angry are all women's privilege, regardless of their status.

"What are you thinking about? No one else can hear this. Get under the covers and talk about it."

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at the aunt. He didn’t have the mood to do that at the moment.

"Ah, oh!"

The old lady's face turned red, and she quickly got up to lock the door, then opened the quilt.

"I suspected your sister wasn't an ordinary person before. After we moved into this courtyard, I always felt something was strange."

"Especially those few times when your sister secretly met with others behind my back... Oh, don't pinch me!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly hid.

"You are still saying bad things about my sister now."

The old lady glared at Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh, I was young at the time, and suddenly I saw her secretly meeting with another man, how could I not have those thoughts?"

"If your sister hadn't been four months pregnant at the time, I might have gone to that man to find out the truth."

However, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was precisely because he had that kind of thought that he neglected more important things.

"Later, I thought that the people your sister met were probably colleagues. They were all underground workers, but I didn't know which side they belonged to."

"Now that I think about it, the person who didn't let me go to meet the deaf old lady was probably protecting me."

"But she is very concerned about this matter."

"Besides, every time I see him, I go out for a while."

"Tell me, is it possible that your sister was originally targeting the group of people who were the deaf old lady?"

Yi Zhonghai expressed his guess.

"what?"

"Why?"

The old lady couldn't fit into the scene that Yi Zhonghai had imagined, and didn't know what was going on.

It's just for fun.

"Because your sister's group and the deaf old lady's group may not be the same group."

"It could also be hostile."

"Now that I think about it, it seems that when we lived in this yard, after several incidents like that happened in succession, we left not long after."

"After that, we moved to another place, and not long after, your sister gave birth..."

Yi Zhonghai fell silent when he said this. Thinking about what happened back then, he felt a little heartbroken.

"So, you think this deaf old lady has something to do with my sister's death?"

The old lady thought about it for a long time and came up with this idea.

"That's just an idea of ​​mine. If there really is another reason for your sister's death, then it's not impossible!"

"But don't mention this to anyone."

"I'll try to find out."

Yi Zhonghai reminded the aunt again.

"Then do you want to talk to Bufan about it?"

"Who knows, Bufan might be easier to find!"

An auntie felt that Yi Bufan’s current status was more popular than Yi Zhonghai’s.

"It's just speculation now, so I won't cause him any trouble."

"Let this child live a good life for a few years first. I will handle this annoying matter."

Yi Zhonghai feels that although his abilities are limited now.

However, you must have the responsibility of a father.

"This child is extraordinary..."

......

"Bufan, I've called you so many times, but this is your first time at Aunt Wang's house."

Wang Tiejun looked at Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran entering the yard with a look of joy on his face.

"Isn't it because I'm afraid of disturbing Aunt Wang?"

Yi Bufan smiled and shook hands with Aunt Wang.

"Auntie Wang, I don't know what you like, so I bought some cigarettes, alcohol, and some fruit for uncle."

"I also weighed two ounces of sugar."

Xu Xiaoran handed the thing over.

"What are you getting from my place? Don't come here if you want to buy something next time."

“This candy is hard to buy!”

Wang Tiejun asked his wife next to him to take the things.

"Fortunately, I work in a supply and marketing cooperative, which gives me a slight advantage."

In fact, this white sugar was slowly obtained by Xu Xiaoran.

"Haha, then I'll keep it."

"Come in and sit down."

Wang Tiejun lives with only her and her husband.

"Auntie Wang, where are the other brothers and sisters?"

Yi Bufan walked in and looked around. The room was not small and it didn't look like there were only two people living there.

"Two sons and one daughter, all married."

"I only come back during the Chinese New Year and other festivals."

"I'm usually busy, so I don't help them take care of the baby."

"They have time on their own anyway."

"Come, sit down, your uncle will cook the dishes in a moment."

Wang Tiejun looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Don't bother. Just eat something."

Yi Bufan also shouted towards the kitchen.

"Don't worry about him. I just have something to tell you."

Wang Tiejun said as he took out a paper bag from the cabinet.

He walked over, closed the door, opened the paper bag, and took out a few sheets of paper.

Yi Bufan took it with some doubt.

"Through your father Yi Zhonghai, I found clues about your mother in some files."

"They should be considered the old residents of the courtyard."

"They moved in later than the deaf old lady and He Daqing, that is, Sha Zhu's family."

"As for the others, they all moved in later."

"After that, your parents left the courtyard."

"Calculating the time, it should be the time when you were born."

Wang Tiejun said this, pointing to some information on the paper in Yi Bufan's hand.

"So what you mean is that my parents left the courtyard because of me?"

Yi Bufan felt that there should be no direct connection.

"I also thought it was impossible. Later, I found out the cause of your mother's death, which was a bit strange."

"It should be said that there is very little information, and some of the information is even encrypted."

"Then investigate from other aspects."

"Finally, some clues led us back to the courtyard..."
