The deaf old lady ate her steamed buns, glanced at Yi Zhonghai, and said, "There's nothing I can do about it. What can an old woman like me do? If nothing works, I can only go find Director Wang and see how she arranges for the lonely elderly."

When he heard that they were going to the street office, Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Let's see if we can find a house with people in the yard who can help you clean and give you something to eat."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the deaf old lady knew that he had lost his patience. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go to the street tomorrow to have a look, but I need to arrange for other people, and I need them to buy the grain and oil for me. Zhonghai, please give me the capital."

After hearing what the old lady said frankly, Yi Zhonghai stood up and went into the house, took out some supply books, and finally thought about it, took out 5 yuan from his pocket, put it in the bag and handed it over, saying with a wry smile: "Old lady, there is really no other way. I can't protect myself alone. I'm really sorry."

The deaf old lady also knew it very well. There must be something she didn't know, otherwise why would the two of them divorce without a word? But it was too late now. No one knew where Li Guilan had moved to. Yi Zhonghai was left alone, and there was really no way to take good care of her. He could only wait and see.

The two of them each had their own ideas. The deaf old lady didn't mention the Jia family, and Yi Zhonghai didn't mention it either. One knew that the Jia family was unreliable, and the other knew that the Jia family would not agree even if she mentioned it. Only when she couldn't find anyone and came back, would she accept the Jia family.

The deaf old lady put away her things, looked at Yi Zhonghai, sighed and walked out. Yi Zhonghai did not try to stop her, and he felt helpless as he watched the deaf old lady's slowly moving back.

The original intention of using the deaf old lady was to establish an atmosphere of respecting the elderly in the orphanage, but the plan failed after she lost her position as the eldest master. After serving her for so many years, I have done my best to repay her.

The two of them reached their own ideas. After the deaf old lady went out, she thought for a while and walked towards Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard. Even if she looked down on Liu Haizhong, she had to go find him now;

Arriving at the door, he knocked. Liu Haizhong was sitting in the house, waiting for the second aunt to cook. Seeing the deaf old lady coming, Liu Haizhong stood up and said, "Old lady, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Normally, the deaf old lady was not nice to Liu Haizhong, but today she came to ask him something, so she smiled and said, "Second Uncle, I have something to ask you today, are you free?"

When he was called "Second Uncle", Liu Haizhong felt like he was floating. This old woman usually only had eyes for Yi Zhonghai and looked down on Liu Haizhong in every way. She was the one who said that parents were unkind and children were unfilial. Liu Haizhong raised his head and said, "Old lady, come in and sit down. Tell me what you want to say."

The deaf old lady walked in, sat down in the room, and said to Liu Haizhong: "Second uncle, as you know, Zhong Hai and his wife are divorced. I used to eat with his family, but now there is no one to cook at home. You are the uncle in charge arranged by the street, so I want to ask, how should I solve the problem of eating when I have no labor force?"

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong knew what the deaf old lady wanted. Yi Zhonghai was busy taking care of himself, so how could he take care of her? Besides, he had to go to work, so how could he have time to serve the old lady? He was trying to make up for it here, just because the old lady called him "Second Uncle" a few times;

Liu Haizhong asked, "Old lady, what are your plans? You can also tell me. In the past, we would find a family in the courtyard and you would give them the grain and oil book to cook for you. As for taking care of you, that is what Yi Zhonghai does himself. Now it is difficult to find someone to take care of you in the courtyard. If it is just for meals, it is easy to say."

The deaf old lady thought for a while and said, "Can't you think of a solution? Isn't it always said in the courtyard to respect the old and love the young? I'm so old now, I just want to find someone to take care of me, Second Uncle, please help me think of a solution."

Liu Haizhong could only think of so much, but he was not very interested in money. Besides, the old lady didn't have much money. Even if he added a few more dollars, Liu Haizhong's personality would not let his wife serve others. That would be a loss of face for the leader.

I could only shake my head and say, "Old lady, there is really no other way. If you are willing to pay a little more money, I think there will be someone in the hospital willing to take over this matter. What do you think?"

"I don't have any money. The subsidy I get now is just enough to guarantee my living. Uncle, please help me think of a solution. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for a few more days."

Hearing the threat from the deaf old lady, they must not let her starve to death at home, otherwise both uncles will be criticized. Oh, by the way, there is also a third uncle. Liu Haizhong said, "I have no other choice. I will go and ask the third uncle. He is a scholar with many ideas. Let's see if there is any solution."

After he finished speaking, he shouted to the inside of the house: "Guangfu, Guangfu, go to the front yard and call the third uncle, and tell him that the deaf old lady has something to do and ask him to come over."

Liu Guangfu came out of the house and took a look at the old man's face. It was not bad, so he should not be beaten today. He agreed and went to the front yard.

After a while, Liu Guangfu followed Yan Fugui in. Yan Fugui looked at the deaf old lady and greeted her first, then found a place to sit down. Liu Haizhong repeated what the old lady had just said.

Yan Fugui rolled his eyes and asked, "Old lady, how much money can you give? You need food and oil coupons to eat. Can I ask someone for you?"

Yan Fugui wanted to ask first to see if there was any advantage to be gained. If possible, his family could take over. The deaf old lady looked at Yan Fugui and knew what he was thinking.

He said, "I have the food and oil book here, but I only have the 5 yuan subsidy. I can hand over the money and the food and oil book. Just take care of my three meals a day and help take care of me on a daily basis."

After hearing this, Yan Fugui shook his head and said, "This is difficult. What you gave is only enough for one month's food expenses. You still need someone to take care of you. I guess no one in the hospital is willing to do that."

The deaf old lady is now in a dilemma. She originally wanted to plot against Yi Zhonghai, but she didn't know that Yi Zhonghai already had a plan. Even if she were to eat with the Jia family, she couldn't speak first.

The two uncles refused, so the deaf old lady could only say: "Second uncle, third uncle, please help me. This is all I have. How about we hold a meeting next time and see if anyone is willing to help?"

The two looked at each other, and Liu Haizhong understood. He nodded and said, "Okay, notify them and hold a meeting later to discuss the support of the deaf old lady. If there is really no one to take over, we can only report it to the street office and see how they deal with it."

Liu Haizhong saw that the matter was settled, and shouted to the room: "Guangfu, send the old lady back." He turned around and said: "Old lady, wait for my notice. We will have a meeting this afternoon to discuss your matter in detail."

The deaf old lady knew that the two old men disliked her, but she had always been taken care of by Li Guilan, so she never thought about easing the relationship with them. She didn't dare to stay, otherwise they would really abandon her. She stood up and followed Liu Guangfu, slowly walking into the house.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had no intention of inviting anyone to dinner, Yan Fugui stood up and said, "Second Uncle, I'll go home first. The meeting starts at a certain time this afternoon. I think we should finish our meal."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Then let's notify them separately. You are responsible for the front yard, and I will notify the middle and back yards. After dinner, everyone should come out for the meeting. If we finish early, we can rest."

Yan Fugui nodded, turned around and walked out. After a while, he heard the voices of Yan Jiecheng, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu notifying everyone from house to house that He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng were both at home for dinner today, and they said they would bring some things over for He Yushui and would be there in the afternoon.

They heard that a meeting had started, so they decided to see what the meeting was about. Everyone hurried to eat. Jiang Feng was also urged by Zhao Xuelin to eat quickly, so he could only take two bites at a time and finish his meal first. After Zhao Xuelin cleaned up the dishes, she took Jiang Feng, closed the door, and went to He Yuzhu's house.

He Yuzhu was still eating slowly. There was no rush anyway. He was sitting at the doorstep and could see how many people had come. He could leave after eating enough. After sitting for a while, he saw people from each family in the yard slowly coming out and the tables were moved in. He Yuzhu and Jiang Feng moved the benches from home and found a place to sit in front of the house.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui came over, but behind Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangfu also came out supporting a deaf old lady. Jiang Feng knew what was going on when he saw it, and whispered a few words to He Yuzhu, who nodded, and the two of them sat there steadily.

Liu Haizhong knocked on the table first, said quiet, then coughed twice, and said: "Today's meeting is mainly about the deaf old lady in the backyard. She used to live with Master Yi's family;

Everyone knows that Master Yi had some problems at home and could no longer take care of the old lady. Today, the old lady came to me and Uncle San to ask if there was anyone in the hospital willing to take over and take care of her. "

Yi Zhonghai sat down below, his face dark. You can have a meeting, why bring up my family affairs? People in the yard also started to discuss, mainly talking about Yi Zhonghai's divorce. Liu Haizhong looked around, knocked on the table and said, "Don't discuss things that are not related to the meeting. Today's main topic is the deaf old lady's matter. If you have any ideas, you can raise them in person."

The neighbors in the yard looked at each other, but when they saw the old man sitting upstairs didn't say anything, they all knew that there was no advantage to be gained, otherwise this matter would not have come to the point of a meeting.

Seeing that no one stood up, the two old men could only state the deaf old lady's conditions and what they could give. People in the orphanage just listened. It was just a minimum living guarantee, and the key was that they had to serve others, which people were unwilling to do. Who knew if the old lady would cause trouble? There was no point in doing it.
