Siheyuan: Get the system at the beginning

Chapter 67 What’s the hurry?

He Yuzhu's appearance dumbfounded the old lady and Yi Zhonghai and his wife who had not had time to act. It was obvious from his appearance that Zhuzi would not wait to borrow a cart. Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he cursed inwardly and pulled his wife to catch up.

"This idiot, let's hurry up and leave. The hospital is not far away, but he has to carry the old lady by himself. Don't let her fall."

"Hey, what's going on? Why is Silly Zhu running out? What's wrong with the old lady?"

Yan Fugui and his son were pasting spring couplets for every household that had been given melon seeds and peanuts. When they finished pasting in the front yard, they came to the middle yard and saw He Yuzhu running out like crazy. The three of them were so scared that they quickly made way. Yan Jiefang didn't even bother to pick up the ladder and dropped it directly to the ground.

"You better be more careful! You can't even hold the things properly. Why don't you pick them up quickly? If they break, the wood will be wasted."

Yan Fugui complained casually, but before he could look away, he was about to say something else when he saw Yi Zhonghai and his wife hurried out.

"What's the hurry?"

Yan Fugui quickly stopped the man and asked anxiously, after all, he was the third uncle in the courtyard, how could he not take care of the neighbors when something happened in the courtyard.

"I don't know what's going on. The old lady can't speak or move. Shouldn't she be sent to the hospital?"

"So are we still going to have the group worship today?"

The second uncle Liu Haizhong came over with a big belly. He just happened to come and heard what Yi Zhonghai said.

It was such a late hour and he was still thinking about these things. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai and the third uncle Yan Fugui looked at him speechlessly, and the first uncle just ignored him and walked away.

Liu Haizhong's face suddenly turned dark. He already had a grudge against Lao Yi. After all, the two were about the same age. The other was a seventh-level worker in the factory, while he was a sixth-level worker. In the yard, he was the second in command and the other was the eldest. He was really superior to him both in public and in private, but he ignored him when he asked him. This was really looking down on him!

Liu Haizhong always felt that the other party had hit him in the face and his face turned black.

"You've heard that the old lady is seriously ill. The couple is very worried now. I think we should forget about the reunion party! By the way, I have selected a very good couplet for you. Why don't you listen to it? I will paste it on your door later."

Yan Fugui sighed inwardly. It was New Year's Day and he didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he had to try to smooth things over.

"That's fine! Why don't you go to my house now and put it up first? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really not kind. When putting up spring couplets, of course you should start from the backyard and go from the inside to the outside. How can you do it the other way around?"

Liu Haizhong's attention was diverted immediately, and he complained with a bit of displeasure on his face.

When Yan Fugui heard this, he wanted to smear paste all over his face, but he didn't want to argue with him on New Year's Day, so he followed his words and ran to the back with his two sons.

"Mom, should we go check it out?"

Jia Dongxu wanted to go outside when he got up in the morning because the toilet was outside the compound. As soon as he lifted the door curtain, he heard the conversation outside. He quickly lowered the curtain and turned around to talk to Mrs. Jia who was sitting on the kang.

Even though Mrs. Jia couldn't speak now, her routine was still there, which was to sit at the window and look outside every day when she was awake. So she saw and heard everything that happened in the yard just now.

In her heart, she was laughing at the deaf old lady's experience, and even cursed her that she would not be able to leave the hospital and die outside, so that she could snatch the two rooms in the old lady's house for her grandson. So after hearing what her son said, she shook her head. After a few days of getting along, even though they couldn't speak, the mother and son still had some tacit understanding.

"But if I don't go, will my master have any objections? He will think that I am an unfilial person. If he replaces me with another apprentice to take care of him in his old age, then we will never be able to take advantage of him again."

Qin Huairu was not at home, so he made it clear. Mrs. Jia thought that this made sense, but she also thought that she would have to bring things when visiting the hospital. Why should her family's money be given to that old woman?

So he nodded, then raised his two paws, scratched them, and then shook them.

But Jia Dongxu, as his son, understood this action.

"Don't worry, Mom. Everyone in this hospital knows that our family is in financial difficulty. Even if I want to buy something, I can't afford it! Then you just stay at home and I'll go to the hospital first. Huairu will steam a bowl of egg custard for you later. This is what I promised her before. I can't let you go hungry during the New Year. But don't forget to take your medicine!"

Jia Dongxu naturally knew how greedy his mother was. In order to prevent her from making a fuss on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had to make something delicious. Then, without caring whether she was satisfied or not, he turned around and left with his hat and coat.

Mrs. Jia was naturally not satisfied, as she had been given this to eat on the morning of New Year's Day. But now she could not speak, and her son had run away again. She could only angrily scold her daughter-in-law for having no good eyesight, and wait for her to make the egg custard and bring it to her.

"What did you say, doctor?"

Yi Zhonghai felt his head buzzing. How could he, a middle-aged man without children, be so kind to the same old lady for no reason? He had a purpose in letting his wife take care of her. Although the old lady was a lonely old lady, she had a good status and a large network of relationships, which would be good for his control of the right to speak in the courtyard. Naturally, he rushed to help.

But what use is there to him now about an old lady who can't speak and is paralyzed?

The lady next to her also had an extremely ugly expression on her face. After all, she had been taking care of this old lady all along. If it weren't for her own retirement plan and the old lady's private collection, how could she have been so submissive and taken care of this old lady? Because only she herself knew how mean this kind-looking old lady was in private.

After hearing what the doctor said, she felt relieved for some reason, but after seeing Zhong Hai's expression, a deep worry lingered in her heart again, making her heart ache. Her face changed instantly and she put one hand on her chest.

"Comrade, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, Nurse Zhou, come and help put him on the bed."

The doctor was still talking about the old lady's condition when he noticed that the face of the woman opposite him was slowly changing. Just as he was thinking that she was sick, she fell backwards. He quickly stood up from his seat and called for the nurse.

Yi Zhonghai was totally out of his mind and wondered if there would be any problems with his plan. He waited until the old lady and the deaf lady were settled in the same ward before he came to his senses. Looking at the two people lying on the bed, Yi Zhonghai took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but the nurse who was checking the ward saw it and stopped him.
