The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

While He Yuzhu was telling He Ping'an about the past events of the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and his wife, as well as the deaf old lady from the backyard, were also discussing the affairs of the He family.

"Old lady, what do you think we should do now?" Yi Zhonghai asked with some concern on his face after he told the deaf old lady about the hospital meeting this evening.

"From He Daqing's father to He Yuzhu, three generations are all brainless. I didn't expect that there would be such a smart guy as He Ping'an." The deaf old lady sighed after listening to Yi Zhonghai's story.

"This is not the time for old lady to feel sentimental. He Ping'an is not He Yuzhu. We can't hide what we did to He Yushui. Let's discuss what to do?"

The aunt was a little annoyed when she saw the deaf old lady still sighing, but when she thought that if things went wrong she would have to use the support of the deaf old lady, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked anxiously.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What have we done to He Yushui? I just want her to feel sorry for her brother. What's wrong with that?" The deaf old lady said slowly

When the aunt heard the deaf old lady talking like this, she cursed in her heart: You old woman, He Daqing was very good to you, but after he left, you didn't remember their friendship and took the initiative to help us plot against the He family. Now that He Ping'an is back, you want to rely on the He family again. You're dreaming about making me take the blame.

"Will the He family believe what you said, old lady? After all, you ate all the flour that Zhuzi gave you. Other people in the courtyard may not know about this, but the Xu family must know it. Today, the father and son of the Xu family offended He Ping'an. If they want to protect themselves, they will definitely tell others." The eldest lady hurriedly shirked the responsibility.

The deaf old lady listened to the threat from the aunt but did not get anxious. Instead, she looked at Yi Zhonghai meaningfully.

After all, Yi Zhonghai was a man and had seen some of the world. Feeling the gaze of the deaf old lady and thinking about what she had just said, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head and he yelled at his wife, "Shut up!" Then he smiled at the old lady.

"Old lady, what you mean is that Zhuzi is too young to educate children and is too doting on He Yushui. So we are being a little harsh on her for the sake of He Yushui's growth?"

After hearing this, the deaf old lady also smiled and nodded.

"Although Zhuzi can earn money, he is not yet 18 years old. He is still a child. How can he educate children? We have watched the He brothers and sisters grow up. We will help them if we can."

"But, what about the food? Many people in the courtyard have seen you eating white flour." The aunt felt more at ease after listening to the conversation between her husband and the deaf old woman, but she still asked fearfully.

"Zhu Zi will be eighteen years old in another month. In the past, he would have had children and it would have been time for him to get married. There is no rush for Zhu Zi, but we, as his elders, cannot help but think about him. I, an old lady, don't have much ability, so I can only save my own food rations for He Yushui, and save the food given by Zhu Zi for his future marriage." The deaf old lady did not pretend to be profound this time, and spoke directly.

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Yi Zhonghai thought: No wonder you, a lonely old woman, can survive in troubled times. You are so cunning. It seems that I have to remind my wife to be careful of this old woman in the future so that she won't sell her out. He calculated the price of food in his mind, thinking that he would need to ask the deaf old lady for help later, so he said

"The old lady still has an idea. I calculated that the grain harvested from He Yuzhu in the past two years is more than 1000 kilograms of corn and flour. Let's use 200 kilograms. The price of flour is 85 yuan per kilogram, and the price of corn flour is less than yuan per kilogram. So, you can get yuan and give it to the old lady." After saying this, he said to the deaf old lady

"Then please, old lady, deliver the pillar to me tomorrow."

The deaf old lady knew that Yi Zhonghai looked honest but was actually full of thieves and prostitutes like Xu Fugui, and was also a guy who would not do anything without profit. When she heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted to pay for her, she knew that he was asking for something from her, so she hurriedly said

"Yi family, don't be anxious. Zhong Hai, although I am old, I am not stupid. Do you want me to help the Jia family? Or are you hiding something from me about the He family?"

"Old lady, you are wise. Although I was the one who mediated the Jia family's affairs, it can all be put on the table. Others will at most say that I am biased. It's no big deal." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, then paused and said carefully.

"After He Daqing left, you discussed with us that we would take care of you in your old age, and you would find a way to let Zhuzi help us in our old age. Originally, I was thinking of Jia Dongxu, but considering Jia Zhang's temper, I was a little worried, so when you made this suggestion, I agreed." Yi Zhonghai looked at the deaf old lady and continued

"You know, the reason why I let Jia Dongxu take care of me in my old age is, firstly, our two families have a good relationship, and secondly, and most importantly, Jia Dongxu has no father and a mother like that, and he has no skills, so he can only rely on me to make a living, otherwise he would not have worshipped me as his master. But He Yuzhu is different. Before He Daqing left, he arranged for him to work in a steel rolling mill with a monthly salary of more than 20 yuan, and He Daqing would mail He Yushui 10 yuan for living expenses every month. In addition, with the honor plaque on the door of the He family, no one in our courtyard lives better than his family. In this situation, even if He Yuzhu is kind, it is impossible for him to take care of me in my old age."

"So you used your connections to get He Yuzhu fired from his job, and you also withheld He Daqing's living expenses. Is that right?" The deaf old lady interrupted Yi Zhonghai before he could continue.

"You thought about cutting off He Yuzhu's source of livelihood, and then you took action when he was unhappy, and asked him to do you a favor. For this, you spent a lot of money to bribe the people in the street office and let them deliberately forget He Yuzhu, a military family member, right?" The deaf old lady said too many words in one breath and was a little out of breath. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly patted the deaf old lady on the back and asked in surprise

"Old lady, do you know everything?"

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it. I'm not really deaf. If I didn't have this ability, I would have died long ago!" The deaf old lady said angrily.

"Old lady, please help me. From now on, you are my real mother. When this is over, I will hold a banquet in the yard and recognize you as my godmother and take care of you in your old age." Yi Zhonghai quickly expressed his loyalty.

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of her and thought of her own sadness: If it weren't for the sake of retirement, who would be willing to calculate all day long? Then she said

"Knowing that you are filial, I won't have a banquet. I will help you get through this first!"

"As for He Yuzhu's work, take me to the steel mill tomorrow. I will use my connections to arrange for someone to help you to go to the south. As for Director Wang of the Street Office, she is a smart person. As long as you don't say anything, there will be no problem with her." The deaf old lady continued

"The most difficult thing is He Yushui's living expenses. 10 yuan a month, 240 million yuan in two years, enough to be executed."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy when he heard the first half, but when he heard that he was going to be shot, he hurriedly said

"Old lady, you have to help me!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? If He Ping'an knows about this, it will definitely not be resolved peacefully. Wait! Didn't He Ping'an change his job? Let's see what his specific treatment and job are. If he is just an ordinary worker, then we can just pay him more money. But based on his high school diploma, he is most likely a cadre. Alas, I don't know how useful those connections are." The deaf old lady sighed as she spoke

Yi Zhonghai came here tonight for the connection behind the deaf old lady. After hearing the deaf old lady's assurance, his uneasy heart finally settled down. After that, the two of them didn't speak again, and the room seemed particularly quiet.

"Boss, this is 85 yuan." After a while, a middle-aged woman came in with the money.

"Why give it to me? Give it to our mother." Yi Zhonghai looked at Auntie and complained in his heart: If you hadn't been unable to give birth to a child, I wouldn't be like this. Thinking of this, he said to Auntie in a bad mood.

"Godmother?" Although the aunt was puzzled, she did not dare to say anything more when she saw the gloomy faces of the two people in the room, and hurriedly handed the money to the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady took the money and said with a half-smile, "After so many years, I finally received a gift from my younger generation." Then, as if she had thought of something, she said with a bit of boredom,

"Old lady, I'm tired. You guys go ahead! Zhonghai will be at work later tomorrow, come and pick me up." After saying that, she ignored Yi Zhonghai and his wife and lay down on the bed to rest.

Yi Zhonghai and the other man said nothing more and returned home.

Xu Family, Xu Damao looked at Xu Fugui lying on the bed and complained

"Dad, what happened to you today? Not only did you not fight back after being beaten, but you also paid so much money."

"Shut up. I thought He Ping'an was dead outside, so I didn't care when you bullied He Yuzhu and his sister. But He Ping'an is back. If you dare to provoke the He brothers and sisters again, I will beat you to death without He Ping'an, so that you won't implicate your family." Xu Fugui looked at Xu Damao and said angrily

Xu Damao saw the danger in his father's eyes and knew that his father was serious, so he quickly responded

"I know, Dad! But even if He Ping'an is a soldier, you shouldn't be so afraid of him, right?"

"Shut up, what do you know?" Xu Fugui saw that his son had agreed with him verbally, but he was not convinced in his heart. He was afraid that he would really cause trouble, so he could only explain in a bad mood.

"Did you know that He Ping'an was arrested and imprisoned in 48 and was almost beaten to death?"

"I know. Lou Bancheng was released because of He Daqing's request. For this, Lou Bancheng was allowed to work in the steel mill for ten years. My mother was a servant in the Lou family at that time. She heard it with her own ears. What does this have to do with He Pingan?" Xu Damao asked in confusion.

"Why are you so anxious? He Ping'an has become a different person since he was released. Although he still speaks and acts the same as before, as a projectionist, I am well-informed. I felt that something was wrong with He Ping'an. Sure enough, after he recovered from his injuries, he went straight to the then police chief. The two people who harmed him at noon that day were determined to be Japanese spies and were shot on the spot."

"He Ping'an is also related to the Kuomintang?" Xu Damao asked with surprise after hearing this.

No one knows a son better than his father. When Xu Fugui heard Xu Damao ask this, he knew what he was thinking and said unhappily:

"Don't think about those nonsense. The police chief even received praise from the Communist Party for this matter. If you want to report it, you should sever ties with your family first to avoid implicating them."

Xu Damao became depressed again after hearing what Xu Fugui said, and then urged Xu Fugui to continue.

"After Huang Song and Shi Lin, the two people who harmed He Ping'an, died, word suddenly spread that the Japanese were still finding spies in China because they were looking for a batch of treasures left behind when they invaded China, and Huang Song and Shi Lin were responsible for transporting the treasures. As a result, the Huang and Shi families were destroyed by this rumor."

"This was done by He Ping'an. He is too cruel!" Xu Damao said in surprise. He didn't expect that He Ping'an, who looked so amiable, could be so cruel.

"Okay, stop wasting time. In short, don't mess with the He brothers and sisters. It's best to find a way to befriend He Ping'an," Xu Fugui instructed.

"I just don't want to offend anyone, why would I want to make friends with them?" Xu Damao said unconvinced

"He Ping'an joined the army when he was in high school. Nowadays, high school graduates can become cadres, not to mention the army in 48!" Xu Fugui looked at his stupid son and had the idea of ​​having another child.

"You mean He Ping'an is now the head of the army?" Xu Damao asked unwillingly.

"Otherwise, why do you think Yan Bugui, the most calculating man in the hospital, didn't say anything during the meeting today? Don't forget that when He Ping'an returned home this afternoon, Yan Bugui was the only one in charge in the hospital."

"Well, Dad is right. It seems that He Ping'an is really an official, otherwise Yan Bugui would not be so honest." After Xu Damao finished speaking, he suddenly became happy again. Xu Fugui looked at his son

"What's wrong with you? Why are you crazy?"

"Dad, He Ping'an is back and has become an official. Now the uncle, the Jia family, and the old lady next door are going to be in trouble!" Xu Damao said excitedly.

Xu Fugui nodded unconsciously after listening to this. "Given He Ping'an's temper, I'm afraid he won't be able to let it go. Don't get involved. Just wait and watch the fun. It has nothing to do with our Xu family."

After saying this, he felt pain all over his body again and quickly asked Xu Damao to continue applying medicine.

Jia Zhang from the Jia family in the central courtyard had not slept all night. A widow with no skills could raise her son in the old society. She was certainly not a fool who only knew how to curse and make trouble.

Jia Zhang knew about what happened to He Ping'an in 48. In fact, all the old people in the courtyard knew about it, otherwise the Xu family's father and son and the two uncles would not have admitted their mistake so easily today.

In fact, she had regretted it when she saw He Ping'an this afternoon. She thought that what happened in the evening would cause some trouble for He Ping'an, but she didn't expect that He Ping'an would resolve it with just a few words. Thinking of the lights that had just been turned off in the He family, she was afraid that He Ping'an had already known what she had done. Thinking of this, Jia Zhang had a headache and didn't know what to do. So she woke up Qin Huairu who was sleeping soundly and scolded her.

"If it weren't for you, the unlucky star, how could our Jia family get into such a big trouble!"

After Qin Huairu was woken up by being strangled, she listened to Jia Zhang's words and cried aggrievedly, "Mother-in-law, I have been working hard all day since I married into the Jia family. I have never been idle. Why do you call me a jinx?"

"If it weren't for you, why would I take advantage of the He family? Why would I say that He Ping'an died on the battlefield when I was arguing with He Yuzhu? If you weren't pregnant with the Jia family's grandson, I would have asked Dongxu to divorce you and send you back to the countryside." Jia Zhang said viciously.

"Mom, don't blame Huairu for this. If I hadn't been incompetent, you wouldn't have thought of taking advantage of the He family." Jia Dongxu said after being woken up.

"Mother-in-law, I think Uncle He is quite kind. Besides, he is a soldier after all. We can't just go against our will. Tomorrow our family will go to his house to apologize and pay some money. It shouldn't be a big deal," Qin Huairu said easily.

Looking at the couple who spoke so easily, Jia Zhang reluctantly told them what He Ping'an had done in 48. After listening, Jia Dongxu and his wife fell silent.

After a long while, Qin Huairu said, "Well, tomorrow I will go and test He Ping'an's attitude to see if he can pay some money to settle the matter. If not, we will ask the first uncle for help. Everyone knows how the first aunt and the deaf old lady treated He Yushui. Now that He Ping'an is back, even if the He family and the Yi family are not enemies in the future, I'm afraid they will never have anything to do with each other. Everyone knows what the first uncle is thinking, it's nothing more than the issue of retirement. Now that the He family has no hope, only our family is left. I think the first uncle will not ignore Dongxu."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, the mother and son of the Jia family also felt that it made sense. Jia Zhang said unwillingly:

"That old, poor man wants my son to take care of him in his old age, which is just a dream."

"Mom, even if the He family incident hadn't happened, as long as we still live in the courtyard and I'm still learning from the eldest master, I have to take care of him in his old age. Didn't we know this when I decided to become his apprentice? Otherwise, why would the eldest master accept me as his apprentice and help us in the courtyard?" Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang and persuaded

"That old man is a good choice." Jia Zhang knew that this was the only way out, so she could only agree. After putting her mind at ease, Jia Zhang lay down and snored soon. Jia Dongxu and his wife looked at each other and lay down to sleep.
