Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

On the weekend, Li Qiang came over in the morning. When he saw the vegetables bought by the host, his face turned a little unhappy. With Jia Zhang's personality, how could she be willing to spend a lot of money to entertain guests?

Except for one pound of meat, the rest were all vegetarian dishes. He planned to host four or five tables, with an average of two taels of food per table. When he invited guests, he also said that food was scarce now, and only one person from a family was allowed to come. When he said this, everyone in the courtyard was disgusted.

Yi Zhonghai was the one who mediate again. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui could only shake their heads helplessly. They couldn't just not go. Jia Dongxu had to be sent out tomorrow. Would he really have to be left in the yard to annoy people? It would be enough to clean up the Jia family.

After the banquet that day, those who had connections with the family in the courtyard gave gifts. Master Li only prepared five or six dishes, and only one of them had some meat in it. The diners were disgusted again and had no interest in drinking. They finished their meal in a hurry. It was only the third uncle who was quick and took the loose wine back home.

Jiang Feng had foresight and prepared the ingredients. Together with He Yuzhu's family, they went to the small courtyard over there. However, He Yuzhu still did a favor in the morning and burned a stick of incense for Jia Dongxu as a way of repaying the favor. He also said that he was going to his father-in-law's house, and the whole family went there, so they didn't have any meal. Jiang Feng didn't come at all, and there was no personal interaction between the two families.

This was the first time He Yuzhu came here after the house was renovated. Li Xiaoyan was extremely envious, especially the bathroom at home. She didn't have to go out to use the toilet and could take a shower at home. Even Jiang Feng could feel the resentful look in her eyes.

He Yushui was different. He kept holding on to Jiang Feng and begged him for a room. There was a toilet in the yard anyway. He said to He Yuzhu, "Brother, move my things over when you have time. I'll sleep here on weekends."

He Yuzhu was feeling annoyed, so he said, "Okay, your room is just for He Xiao to live in, and there's nothing else at home, so just move the dressing table over."

Li Xiaoyan hit He Yuzhu, as if she was trying to shoo her sister out. He Yuzhu turned around and said to Jiang Feng, "Xiaofeng, look at this yard. Help me find a yard too. I can just decorate it like you do."

When Li Xiaoyan heard this, she looked at Jiang Feng eagerly. Jiang Feng could only agree and said he would ask someone to inquire. In fact, now is not a good time to buy a house. Wait a few years when the wind blows, and who knows how many people will run away. That will be a good time. He should inquire about it first, and it’s okay to buy a cheap one first.

He Yushui joined in the fun and said quickly, "I want one too, brother. Buy me one too. I don't want one that big. A courtyard is enough. It would be best if you were closer. I usually come over for dinner."

He Yushui is not stupid. In the play, she knew it when she was ten years old. She couldn't change He Yuzhu, so she could only agree with him. At least she could stutter. Didn't you see that she didn't come back after getting married? Don't think that she called sister-in-law nicely. Who knows what she was thinking in her heart?

Naturally, I know that there are delicious foods next to my cousin, and there are better cooking skills next to my eldest brother. It would be best if they were next to each other. My cousin would take the good food and ask my eldest brother to cook it. After dinner, I would go back to my own yard to sleep. That would be a godly life.

Both of them had stern faces. He Yuzhu said, "Why are you joining in the fun? You already have a room at Xiaofeng's place. I'll also reserve one for you at my place. You can live there, so why buy so many rooms?"

Jiang Feng also said, "It's not easy. Brother Zhuzi's is okay. He can say that his family is not big enough. If you buy one house by yourself, the street will investigate. Houses in the city are so tight now. Maybe you will have to rent it out. You should live in our courtyard first and wait and see. We will definitely find you a house then."

Seeing that both of them said so, He Yushui pouted and became unhappy. The two sisters-in-law slapped her in the face and pulled her aside to talk. They all said that she could live in any house she had and that her two brothers would buy her one when the time came. After a while of coaxing, she became happy again, teasing her nephews and nieces, and asking her cousin's wife when she would give birth to a little nephew.

Zhao Xuelin blushed after asking this question. She pushed He Yushui and said, "Girl, why do you ask so many questions? It will come naturally when it's time."

After dinner in the evening, everyone sat down and He Yuzhu took Li Xiaoyan and He Yushui back to the courtyard. He Yushui didn't bring any of his belongings with him, but he would bring his bedding with him tomorrow and he would live here permanently from now on.

On the way back, they went around again and went to see Li Guilan. He Yushui naturally knew about Li Guilan's divorce and applauded.

She comforted Li Guilan and said, "Aunt Li, don't worry. I will come to see you on weekends. I will treat you as my daughter from now on and I will be filial to you. You see, you have only been out for two days and you look much better."

Li Guilan was so moved that she shed tears. She had been nervous since she came out, and was also worried that like Yi Zhonghai said, she would die in the house and no one would know. After hearing what He Yushui said, she felt relieved. She said, "Okay, okay, auntie loves you well. Come and play when you are free. Auntie will make you something delicious."

On the way back, He Yushui and He Yuzhu also discussed what to do with Li Guilan in the future. In fact, it was mainly He Yushui who had a deeper relationship with Aunt Li and often took care of her when she was a child. He Yuzhu was older and was grateful to Aunt Li, but he would not rely on her.

After listening to He Yushui's words, he didn't say anything, but just said to wait and discuss it with your cousin to see if there is any solution. Although he knew that there was money divided in the divorce, he didn't ask how much. It is not a solution to just live off the money. You have to find something to do to pass the time and earn some income.

Yi Zhonghai was busy with the Jia family's affairs these days, and the deaf old lady was miserable. From the day after Yi Zhonghai divorced, no one cared about the family affairs. Yi Zhonghai was busy with the two widows and didn't pay much attention to the deaf old lady.

Normally, I would just have a quick bite at home and remember to send some to her. It was not until today when the Jia family held a banquet that I came out to have a proper meal. The food wasn't great, but it was enough to fill me up.

The deaf old lady also knew that Yi Zhonghai was divorced. She looked at Yi Zhonghai as if he were a fool. For the sake of two widows and his own retirement, he just abandoned his wife of several decades without even thinking about how he would live his life now.

However, the deaf old lady didn't know that after Li Guilan took out the medical report, Yi Zhonghai had sentenced Li Guilan to death in his heart. He wanted to send her far away. If she stayed in the hospital, she might explode one day.

The deaf old lady had no one to take care of her. In just a few days, her body and her house were in a mess. Usually, Li Guilan helped with the cleaning so that the old lady could keep her house clean every day. Now Yi Zhonghai himself didn't understand what was going on and the house was a mess. How could he take care of an old woman?

After these few days, the deaf old lady also panicked. Without Li Guilan, Yi Zhonghai had no time to come over. She might really starve to death in the house one day and no one would know. She had to find a way to save herself. Yi Zhonghai could not be relied on, but she still had to talk to him. If it didn't work, she had to get her grain and oil book back.

While the deaf old lady was thinking about her own problems at home, Yi Zhonghai was not idle either. He was very busy these days. He did not pay attention to the rumors about divorce in the yard. There were all kinds of rumors, but the most true one was that he divorced his wife for two widows, and his reputation was terrible.

Early on Sunday morning, Qin Huairu prepared a large pot of porridge and two-grain steamed buns. There were more people coming today. More than ten people ate and drank their fill, waiting for the stick to break the basin. Then, with a shout, they carried the food out the door.

Someone outside the door set off a small string of firecrackers, and Jia Zhang followed him out with a stick. Yi Zhonghai was also there. Qin Huairu fell down crying in the house when the coffin was carried out of the house.

When they came back, it was already past ten in the morning. Jia Zhang didn't say anything about the arrangements, and the people who helped knew that there was nothing good to eat, so they put down their food and went back to their own homes. Only the Jia family was left in the house;

Yi Zhonghai also knew that no one mentioned lunch at all. But it was not bad. There were extra steamed buns made in the morning, so Qin Huairu gave Yi Zhonghai a few, which was a simple meal.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, sat there, poured himself some water, looked at the deserted room, and felt extremely confused. Over the past few days, as time passed, Jia Zhang's solid state slowly sprouted;

If Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had not given instructions before leaving today, and Yi Zhonghai had not followed the whole way, Jia Dongxu might have been abandoned halfway. It was only when Yi Zhonghai promised each of them a pack of cigarettes that the matter was settled.

Thinking about this, Yi Zhonghai didn't know whether he was right or wrong. He had paid out some money in the past few days. It wasn't much, but the Jia family never said they would give it to him. He took it for granted and thought that since Jia Dongxu had given it away, everything was fine.

Yi Zhonghai's gloomy eyes became firm. He said, "Try it again, try it again." However, when he looked at the steamed buns on the table, his expression relaxed again. Qin Huairu was still thoughtful.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting there thinking about his problems. The deaf old lady was really too hungry to bear it anymore, so she walked out by herself and slowly moved to Yi's house. She looked at Yi Zhonghai sitting there and reached out to knock on the door. Yi Zhonghai looked up and saw that it was the deaf old lady. He frowned, then stood up and helped the old lady in.

The deaf old lady looked at the steamed buns on the table. Yi Zhonghai slapped his head, turned around, poured a glass of water for the deaf old lady, took out a plate of pickles from the house, handed the chopsticks to the deaf old lady and said, "Oh, old lady, you see I have been so busy these days that I forgot about it. You can eat something first, and I will cook some porridge for lunch later."

The deaf old lady didn't bother to answer. She picked up the steamed bun and started eating it, drinking some water while eating. After finishing one steamed bun, she felt better. The deaf old lady picked up another one and started eating it slowly.

Yi Zhonghai watched the deaf old lady eat, and his mind was full of thoughts. He thought that he would not be able to take care of her in the future, and the deaf old lady would not be happy. Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai asked, "Grandma, now that Guilan is gone, it's okay for me to be alone, but how do you plan to arrange your meals?"
