Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

After returning to the courtyard, He Lai learned a piece of news from Yu Shui that the deaf old lady had returned. It was said that she was dying and wanted to return to her hometown.

He Lai sighed, it turned out that most elderly people could not survive the natural disasters of the past three years.

Without the careful care of the aunt, without the ancestor persona that Yi Zhonghai created for her, without the respectful attitude of the entire courtyard towards her, in this era of food and clothing shortages, it would be difficult for her to live in a nursing home until the 1970s in the original drama.

In the original drama, she was in her eighties, still very strong, and could even scold this and that while leaning on a cane.

He could use a cane to beat Jia Zhang; he could secretly go out to exchange food coupons without anyone knowing; he could secretly break up Xu Damao and his wife, and bring Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu together; he could smash the glass at Second Uncle's house and curse Second Uncle and his wife, saying that the parents were unkind and the children were unfilial!

He Lai found it funny just thinking about it. Was it really too much for Liu Haizhong to beat his son? It was true that he was partial to Liu Guangqi. However, if the readers were from the rural areas in the 1980s, they should know that stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork was definitely not just talk. Almost every child had been beaten during their childhood.

Does Liu Haizhong really not care about his two brothers? Not necessarily. At least after Liu Haizhong became the head of the inspection team, his affairs included those of his son Liu Guangtian, such as his work, which put pressure on Yu Haitang for Liu Guangtian and she tried every means to get her to marry Liu Guangtian.

Although his method was wrong, at least he did what a father should do for his remaining two sons.

If it comes to favoritism, which parent is not partial? The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is deeply rooted. Most families will favor their elderly parents. Isn't it the same in Liu Haizhong's eyes? Just like in "Silly Spring", the only male Ding Sujue was almost favored by the mother Xu Minrong and took away everything from Silly Chun.

Liu Guangqi was so dazzling at that time. Whether he was a technical secondary school student, a small leader, or a good wife, Liu Haizhong was naturally willing to entrust the rest of his life to Liu Guangqi.

The kind of people like Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu at that time were so lazy that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were sloppy. Every day they would make sarcastic remarks about Liu Haizhong being partial to someone, and Liu Guangfu even married into the woman's family.

When their life got better and they got a new house, they emptied out Liu Haizhong's stuff overnight. They were so angry that Second Aunt was hospitalized, but they didn't care. When they saw that Liu Haizhong had built an earthquake house after the earthquake, they moved back. When they lost the earthquake house, they moved away without looking back. Later, Liu Haizhong got rich again with the help of Director Lan, and the two brothers Liu Guangtian came to serve Liu Haizhong. Finally, when they heard that the courtyard house was going to be demolished, they ran back immediately!

He Lai found it funny. It was the same old routine over and over again, and it simply brought the profit-seeking face to the extreme.

If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Haizhong for being uneducated. He is too easily misled and cannot tell the difference between right and wrong.

He Lai went through this over and over again. Sometimes when he watched the TV series "Love in the Courtyard", he kept wondering why such a TV series that shocked the world could be made and why so many people liked to watch it.

There are almost no good people in this courtyard. No, it should be said that there are no normal people. Every family is portrayed in a very weird and confusing way.

Obviously, they all have money and children, but in the end, they are all raised by Sha Zhu. They even took a family photo of the whole hospital, which really blew people's minds.

Qin Huairu is a woman who got an IUD removed as soon as her husband died; a widow who dared to hide in a small warehouse for a few steamed buns; and a woman who dragged her feet for eight years on the excuse of Banggeng's words. She is the bitch who is both a hypocrite and a hypocrite!

Whenever there is a problem with money, it always falls on Sha Zhu. Qin Huairu, the greedy person who only takes in money but never spends out, is portrayed vividly. She has been taking Sha Zhu's salary for so many years, but still requires Sha Zhu to spend his own money on buying things every day, wishing she could leave all the money to her son.

In this drama, Qin Huairu's methods are so high and she portrays the modern widow so well.

Knowing Sha Zhu's character well, he just went along with him and set traps for him one after another!

It is said that Yan Fugui's family has a positive outlook on life. He Lai despises this kind of family the most. They are a family that is always stingy, asking for money, and scheming to death!

He has so many sons who can earn money to support the family, but he complains about being poor every day and lives as if he is really poor.

Seeing that he took Shazhu's local specialties and did nothing, and even said bad things behind his back, He Lai really wanted to beat this old guy up through the screen! What the hell!

For a person like him, there are actually people who whitewash him in novels and portray him as a good person with positive values. He Lai feels sick just thinking about it.

Everyone says that Yi Zhonghai is a bad guy, but is he really that bad? Not necessarily. He Daqing's escape is all fantasy in the novel. No one knows what the real truth is.

No one knows whether He Daqing really abandoned his children for the widow or there was some other hidden story.

Although it is very likely that Yi Zhonghai was involved, after all, the child support was in Yi Zhonghai's hands, but who can say for sure? At least He Daqing trusted Yi Zhonghai back then and believed that he could take good care of Sha Zhu and his sister for him.

Thinking back, an old man without children who relies on others to support him in his old age would naturally do something extreme. He knew that after Jia Dongxu's death, Sha Zhu would be his pension tool, and he had to keep Sha Zhu so that he could live a stable retirement life. Besides, he, Yi Zhonghai, actually took out his own pension money.

As for the issue of alimony, it was not difficult to see that Sha Zhu should know about it when he calmly took the alimony passbook from Yi Zhonghai.

Whether Yu Shui knew about this money or not is up to the readers to figure out. Maybe Sha Zhu didn't want Yu Shui to know and wanted to keep the money for himself since he was supporting Yu Shui. Or maybe Sha Zhu didn't know about it at the beginning and found out later. Or maybe there is some other hidden story. It is unknown.

……

He Lai brought Yu Shui to Wu Juan's house and saw Wu Juan holding a feather duster while Wu'er was standing beside her as punishment.

"Brother! Save me!" Wu'er shouted with tears in her eyes when she saw He coming.

"Uh... Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you arguing with Wu'er again?"

He Lai asked with amusement.

Wu Juan rolled her eyes at He Lai and said unhappily, "What do you think of this damn girl? Didn't I tell her to stay away from the deaf old lady's room? But she ran into that room as soon as she ran out of the door? What does that mean? Does she think my words as a mother are just for show?

I have to make her stand still today! If she dares to move, I will beat her! No one can persuade her!"

As Wu Juan spoke, she pointed at Wu'er beside her with a feather duster.

He Lai suddenly realized what was going on when he heard it. So that's what was going on. Wu'er was really courting death.

The deaf old lady was a dying person, so Wu Juan naturally didn't want her children to get involved with her. After all, everyone in the hospital knew about the deaf old lady's affairs, and they all avoided her.
