Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

Since he doesn't have to work on weekends, Yi Zhonghai can rarely spare time to take care of his son.

Yi Cunxiao, who was over one year old, had just started to learn to speak. After Yi Zhonghai’s patient instruction, he could finally make the vague sound of “ba ba”.

Hearing his son calling him dad, Yi Zhonghai, who had always longed for family affection, was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He hugged his little darling and kissed and rubbed him again and again. He cherished him so much that he wanted to take him out to show off to everyone.

However, Yi Zhonghai's hard beard scratched the baby's tender skin, which was very irritating. Yi Cunxiao, who was hurt, couldn't help but burst into tears.

Yi Zhonghai reacted quickly and stopped, rocking the baby in the swaddle and soothing him softly. After a long period of frantic work, he finally coaxed the child to sleep.

"Whoo~"

Seeing Yi Cunxiao calm down, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He was a grown man, a rough man who swung a hammer in a steel mill. He had no problem dealing with cold steel, but he was not good at taking care of children.

It turns out that children should be raised by careful women.

It would be great if the aunt could be released from prison sooner.

Looking at the cute baby in his arms and thinking of his wife who was alone in prison, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but think of taking the little one to see an old lady.

The father and son have been living together in the yard for a while and have gradually become familiar with each other, but the little guy has never seen his mother, so it will be easy for him to become estranged from her when he grows up.

It’s better to meet as soon as possible and get to know each other.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to take the child out, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Uncle, someone is looking for you outside, please come out quickly."

Yi Zhonghai could tell from the voice that the person who reported the news was Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of Yan Bugui. He quickly responded and said, "I got it. I'll be right out."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai reluctantly put his son back into the cradle and left the room to check.

Yi Zhonghai didn't have many relatives in the city, and his social circle was mainly concentrated in the steel mill and the courtyard. Apart from that, he didn't have many acquaintances. For a moment, he really couldn't guess who was visiting.

When he arrived at the front yard, Yi Zhonghai did not see Yan Bugui, the gatekeeper. Instead, he saw Liu Haizhong standing at the door, chatting with a thin man with shabby clothes and a stubble on his face.

Yan Jiecheng, who was leading the way, called out to the man, "Chen Fugui, the master is here."

Hearing the voice, Liu Haizhong and the man named Chen Fugui turned their heads together and looked at Yi Zhonghai who was approaching.

As Yi Zhonghai walked, his heart tightened and his brows raised, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know Chen Fugui, so why did a stranger come to the hospital to look for him?

Life is back on track and everything is moving in a good direction. What Yi Zhonghai fears most now is something unexpected happening.

"Are you Comrade Yi Zhonghai?"

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to think about it, Chen Fugui quickly stepped forward, eagerly shook his hand, and said excitedly: "Great, I finally found you."

Yi Zhonghai was confused and broke free from Chen Fugui's hand. His eyes trembled and a hint of contempt appeared on his face.

This man has dirty hands and doesn't look like a respectable person at first glance.

"Comrade Chen Fugui, what do you want from me?"

Yi Zhonghai went straight to the point and wanted to find out the reason as soon as possible so that he could send Chen Fugui away.

After Chen Fugui's excitement faded, he scratched the back of his head, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing that Chen Fugui couldn't utter a word, Yi Zhonghai was about to ask again, but unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong suddenly interrupted and said, "Comrade Chen Fugui is here for the child's matter."

Hearing the word "child", Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, his face darkened, and he looked at Liu Haizhong and asked anxiously, "What child?"

Liu Haizhong took a few steps forward and stood side by side with Chen Fugui. He put his hand on Yi Zhonghai's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "It's the child you adopted a few days ago."

At this time, Chen Fugui, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to finally be unable to hold back and suddenly interrupted, saying: "The child's name is Gou'er, and I am his father. Three months ago, my wife was sick, and the family had no money to treat the illness, let alone raise a child, so I made up my mind and put him at the door of the orphanage early in the morning.

I hope the orphanage can help raise the child for a while and take him back after my family gets through the difficult times.

I didn’t expect that three months later, he would be taken away by you…”

Chen Fugui became more and more anxious as he spoke, and his voice became unclear with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were moist and red, as if he would burst into tears at any time.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the first sentence, he felt like he was struck by lightning. His body stiffened and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

After stabilizing himself, Yi Zhonghai said in a heavy breath, "Impossible, this is impossible! What evidence do you have to prove that he is your son!"

Yi Zhonghai lost his composure not because Chen Fugui's performance was realistic and convincing, but because the time he reported was consistent.

The condition of Yi Cunxiao's parents is unknown, but they were indeed abandoned at the gate of the orphanage on the morning three months ago.

The time and place are right, which makes people have to take it seriously.

“There are three black moles on the left side of the dog’s buttocks.

Why don't you take the child out and test it on the spot?"

Chen Fugui wiped away his tears and spoke with a sob.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the words “three black moles”, his body shook even more violently, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Yi Cunxiao does have three black moles on his left buttock. Such a secret would never be known unless one is close to him.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but wonder, could the man in front of him really be the child's biological father?

"Really?"

Liu Haizhong glanced at Chen Fugui, then at Yi Zhonghai, and said, "Old Yi, why don't you go back and get the child out to have a look. Maybe he got the wrong person."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai losing his composure, Liu Haizhong showed concern on his face, but in fact he was already very happy in his heart.

I have to say that Yan Bugui did a great job and the acting skills of the people he hired were impeccable.

If he hadn't known the inside story beforehand, even Liu Haizhong would have believed it.

As for why Chen Fugui was so familiar with all the information about Yi Cunxiao, it was naturally because Liu Haizhong had just revealed it to him personally.

Yi Zhonghai spent all day showing off his baby in the yard, inadvertently revealing a lot of information to his neighbors.

This unintentional action gave Liu Haizhong an opportunity to take advantage.

It can be said that Yi Zhonghai shot himself in the foot.

"Impossible, impossible, how could it be such a coincidence..."

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head, his eyes gradually lost focus and his vision became blurred.

He finally made up his mind and took the risk to adopt a child from an orphanage. Not long after he started enjoying the joy of family life, the biological father of the adopted child came to his house and wanted to take the child away.

It was as if God was playing a joke on him.

Yi Zhonghai thought of his infertility and then looked at Chen Fugui in front of him. Suddenly, a feeling of despair and suffocation came over him.

Is he destined to be childless, to be alone in old age, and to be lonely and helpless?

Is the Yi family destined to be extinct?

"Comrade Yi Zhonghai, thank you for taking care of my dog ​​during this period.

I will remember this kindness forever.

I am short of money now and have no money to pay you back, but I can write you an IOU and I will definitely pay off the child support in the future."
