Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Since there were a bunch of people watching Wu'er and a dog following her all the time, Wu'er was just playing in the middle courtyard and nothing happened to her.

Just like that, a few more days passed.

To the surprise of everyone in the hospital, the deaf old lady miraculously stood up with the help of a cane that day.

Because everyone is at work during the day, there are not many adults in the hospital.

The deaf old lady kept staring at Wu Juan's house through the window until she saw Wen'er come out in the afternoon, and then she came out of the house.

Because Wu Juan had finished washing a pile of clothes in the morning, she didn't care about Wen'er going out to play. After all, it was summer vacation and there were many children in the yard. With Xiao Yangzi and the others helping to take care of them, she didn't worry too much.

……

When He Lai and his friends came back from get off work, someone told them that the deaf old lady had died in her room.

The people from the street office were handling the funeral arrangements for the deaf old lady, and no one in the yard went over to pay their respects.

He Lai was a little worried and planned to go and take a look.

When we walked into the deaf old lady's house, we saw several staff members from the street office busying around. It was obvious that this was not the first time they had handled the funeral affairs for these lonely elderly people.

"Xiao Laizi, why are you here?" Director Wang was also here.

"Uh...Auntie Wang, I came to see her." He Lai didn't expect Director Wang to be here too, but when he thought about it, it made sense. After the deaf old lady left, the two rooms belonged to the street office. Director Wang naturally had to clean up the rooms before handing them over to the next resident.

"Well, you are a kind-hearted child. No one else wants to see her, but you come to see her off for the last time."

Director Wang said with a sigh.

He Lai smiled awkwardly and came to the side of the deaf old lady.

At this time, there was a strange smile on the deaf old lady's face, and she seemed very happy.

When He Lai saw this smile, his heart suddenly tightened, as if he had a bad premonition. He then saw that the deaf old lady's hand was clenched into a fist.

He Lai stepped forward and tried to open the deaf old lady's hands, but found that the dead person's hands were clenched so tightly.

He Lai did not force her hand open, but used his spatial ability to store the thing in her palm into the space.

But he found that there were a few small black pills in the deaf old lady's palm.

At this time, the person who was serving the deaf old lady next to He Lai said, "This old lady is really strange. She even sat up today, was able to eat and walk. I thought her health had improved, but I didn't expect it to be a last-ditch effort before death!"

His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he ran out immediately.

He Lai immediately returned to Wu Juan's house because Wu'er was with him and might attack Wen'er.

Wu Juan saw He Lai running over in a hurry and asked, "Xiao Lai, what's wrong?"

"Mom, where's Wen'er?"

"He's still sleeping in the room!"

After hearing this, He Lai rushed in immediately and checked Wen'er. He was relieved when he found that there was nothing wrong.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Juan asked puzzledly when she saw He Lai looking nervous.

Wen'er was also awakened by He Lai's rough actions, and he called out "Brother" in a daze.

"Wen'er, did you take anything given by an old lady today?"

He Lai asked immediately.

Wen'er immediately said, "Yes, there are quite a few candies. The old lady also asked me to share them with my sister so that we can eat them together. Do you want some, big brother?"

As Wen'er spoke, he took out several candies from under his pillow.

Because of Wu'er's domineering nature, Wen'er has long since changed from the second brother to the younger brother!

He Lai took the candy from Wen'er's hand and checked it. As expected, he found that there was nothing good inside. It was just wrapped in candy paper.

"Oh, you silly child, didn't your mother forbid you to take things from strangers? Why don't you listen?" Wu Juan picked up Wen'er and spanked him a few times.

"Mom, I just wanted to give it to my sister. Wen'er didn't even eat it." Wen'er hugged Wu Juan's neck and cried.

He Lai immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, otherwise the thing was really given by Wen'er to Wu'er, and the little girl might have eaten it.

Then he thought about whether the deaf old lady would give it back to another child.

After thinking about it, he rushed out and started asking every household, including all the children in the yard.

We soon discovered that there were indeed several children in the backyard who had collected this kind of candy, but because the children were older, they did not eat it when they saw that there was a black object inside the candy wrapper.

When He Lai arrived at the middle courtyard, Xiao Yangzi was lying on the ground playing with a group of other children.

He Lai immediately called them all over.

"Xiao Yangzi, did you receive any candy from the old lady in the backyard today?"

"Yes! Hey! That old lady is lying. This black thing is not candy. We thought it was round, so we rolled it on the ground to play with it!" Xiao Yangzi opened his palm and showed it to He.

He Lai looked at the small pill covered with dirt in Xiao Yangzi's hand and felt tired.

"Give them all to me. Uncle will exchange them for candies for you." He Lai took out a handful of candies and shared them with them.

When the children heard that He Lai was going to give them candies again, they gave all the candies given by the deaf old lady to He Lai. He Lai took a look and saw that there were thirteen candies in total. This deaf old lady was really cruel. She gave one or two candies to almost every child. She actually wanted to harm all the children in the yard.

"From now on, you must never accept anything given by strangers, let alone eat it, do you understand?"

He Lai said.

"Got it, come on, brother (uncle)" the children answered in unison.

"Okay, then, does anyone know who else received this thing?"

He Lai asked.

"I know, I know, Yan Jiedi collected several of them!" Bang Geng raised his hand and answered.

When He Lai heard this, he thought to himself, "Not good. With the stingy style of the Yan family, don't eat the candy!" He quickly rushed to Yan Fugui's house.

Yan Fugui and his family were about to have dinner when they saw He Lai rushing in.

"Hey, little Laizi, what are you doing?" Yan Fugui put down the bowl in his hand and asked unhappily.

"Uncle, where is Yan Jiedi?" He looked around but did not see any trace of Yan Jiedi.

"Jie Di, she said her stomach felt a little uncomfortable and she is lying on the bed to rest."

The three aunts said.

"Which room? Take me there quickly!" He Lai knew as soon as he heard it that Yan Jiedi must have eaten candy.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? You..." Yan Fugui was still asking questions!

"Don't ask any more questions. If you delay any longer, your daughter's life will be in danger!"

After He finished speaking, he started looking for a room for himself.

When Yan Fugui's family heard that his life was in danger, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, especially the third aunt who almost fainted on the spot. Fortunately, Yan Jiefang supported her.

The Yan family’s house was not big, with only three bedrooms in total. He Lai quickly found Yan Jiedi lying on the bed.

Yan Jiedi was already unconscious at this time. Alas, the Yan family was really careless. Even in this state, they still had the mood to sit there and eat.

He Lai quickly checked Yan Jiedi and found that she was only slightly poisoned, probably because she had just eaten the food not long ago.

There was a small pill in her stomach that had not been fully absorbed. He Lai quickly took it away and cleaned out everything in her stomach to prevent it from spreading again. He then put some milk into her stomach and cleaned it thoroughly, which was considered a thorough gastric lavage.

Then they used acupuncture to treat her, and finally Yan Jiedi's condition was alleviated.

Yan Jiedi also woke up at this time and shouted weakly: "Mom, I'm so hungry!"

"Okay, Mom will get you something to eat right away!" The third aunt ran out immediately.

When the third aunt came in with a bowl of corn noodles, He Lai was speechless and walked out angrily.

"Xiao Laizi, Xiao Laizi, wait a minute, is my Jie Di okay? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Yan Fugui hurriedly chased out and asked.

He Lai looked at Yan Fugui's expression of being distressed about the money, and immediately shouted angrily: "It's up to you to give it away or not. If you don't want to raise a child, just give it to someone else! Don't give birth to a disgusting child! Are you blind? What kind of person is he now! He's still eating cornmeal. Do you plan to save the money for your grave? Go to hell!"

After cursing, He Lai left.

When Yan Fugui heard He Lai's rare scolding, his face suddenly turned red. He felt a little puzzled. He didn't know what was going on. How could he be poisoned for no reason?
