Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

He Lai's angry curses caused people in the yard to talk about it. Yan Fugui was so ashamed by the contemptuous voices that he wanted to crawl into the ground. In the end, he asked his son to send Yan Jiedi to the hospital.

He Lai returned to his room, with a rare sullen look on his face and no words. He picked up a bottle of Moutai, opened the cap and took several gulps. He drank most of the Moutai and then slammed the bottle heavily on the table.

Yu Shui quickly took the bottle from He Lai and said worriedly, "Brother Lai, don't do this, I'm scared!"

"Well, I'm just angry! How can a man like him be worthy of being a father!"

He Lai exhaled a breath of alcohol and said angrily.

Recently, because of the He Lai plug-in that often releases fish fry into Shichahai and Beihai, there are a lot more fish in the lakes, and many anglers have benefited from it.

Naturally, Yan Fugui, who often went fishing, always caught a lot of fish. Unfortunately, the food in his family was not much better. It was either cornmeal, sweet potatoes, or at worst wild vegetable dumplings.

If they wanted to eat flour, they basically had to wait until the New Year or other festivals, not to mention meat, so the children of the Yan family were all thin. Yan Jie Di, a girl who was one year older than Xiao Yangzi, looked about the same height as Xier.

"Brother Lai, don't think about what's happening at the Third Uncle's house. Let him do whatever he wants." Yu Shui comforted him softly.

He Lai looked into Yu Shui's eyes and immediately realized that he had overreacted.

Alas, his saintly heart is overflowing again. Let others do whatever they want. Why should he, an outsider, worry so much about it?

At this time, the effect of the white wine was also taking effect, making He Lai dizzy. He almost passed out and fell on the table.

Liquor with an alcohol content of over 50 degrees is no joke. Even if He Lai has a good physique, people who don't drink often will still get drunk.

In the past, he always used his spatial ability to transfer wine, but this time he actually drank several big gulps and regretted it.

At this time Wu Juan also came over. Seeing He Lai drunk, she found it funny. She had thought He Lai had a good alcohol tolerance!

After all, He Lai drank a lot of alcohol when he got married, but he still looked calm and composed.

"Mom, please help me lift Brother Lai to the bed." Yu Shui said.

Wu Juan did not refuse. She lifted one of He Lai's arms and helped him onto the bed.

"This child is destined to be a worry!" Wu Juan sighed.

Of course, she had heard about He Lai's situation in the Yan family just now. Although she also looked down on Yan Fugui's behavior, it was someone else's family affair after all, and it was not someone else's turn to interfere.

"Mom, this is the first time I see Brother Lai drunk! His face is so red." Yu Shui joked with a smile.

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen him like this. He didn't drink much before. The only time I saw him drinking was when you two got married. I saw him drink a lot, but he was fine, wasn't he? How come he passed out after drinking half a bottle today?"

Wu Juan sat on the bed, covered He Lai with the quilt and said.

"Mom, what Lai Ge and I drank that day was actually water, not wine. Lai Ge changed it, and I only discovered it when I was drinking it." Yu Shui said quietly.

"Ah? It's water! No wonder, my little Lai is so smart." Wu Juan touched He Lai's face and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Lai is so smart. I didn't even know when he changed the water!" Yu Shui said with a smile on his face.

The two of them sat on the bed and chatted.

This incident caused quite a stir, and even Director Wang, who was handling the funeral arrangements for the deaf old lady, was alarmed.

After learning that the deaf old lady had dared to poison the children in the orphanage, he was so furious that he wanted to sink her body into the moat!

In the end, they decided not to follow the deaf old lady's will and just have the body taken to the crematorium for cremation and the ashes placed randomly in the cemetery.

Anyway, no one will worship her, and there is not even a tombstone.

Because the street office often searched rooms before. After all, there were many enemy spies in the past. After they were caught, their rooms would be carpet-searched.

The deaf old lady actually did such inhumane behavior, so of course the room had to be checked.

Soon, people from the street office found a lot of things, including a box of gold and silver jewelry underground, and letters and photos in a secret box.

After reading the letters and photos, I finally knew who the deaf old lady was. Director Wang originally thought that the deaf old lady was just an old lady who was abandoned by others and left behind only a courtyard house.

Unexpectedly, she was actually the mistress of a traitor, or a concubine. The traitor did many evil things when he occupied the city.

After Xiaozi was defeated, the traitor knew that he could not escape the country's judgment, so he immediately fled the city. Unfortunately, the traitor ran in such a hurry that he only took his children and belongings with him, but did not take her with him.

The letter was also written to her by her son who was abroad when China was in the civil war.

But now the deaf old lady is dead, and Director Wang can't do anything like whipping the corpse. He can only deal with the matter hastily without making any announcement, as if the deaf old lady had never appeared.

……

At the Yan family, Yan Jiedi was first treated by He Lai and then diagnosed and treated by the doctor. She was detoxified and discharged from the hospital within a few days. Fortunately, she did not have any sequelae.

However, Yan Jiecheng's wife Wu Xia also started to think after hearing what He Lai said.

During these years in the Yan family, she also saw through Yan Fugui's character. He was calculating! He was really good at calculating, but she and Yan Jiecheng also learned his skills.

Especially Yan Jiecheng, who was even worse than before. He had a very serious face. Now he was a formal worker in the coking plant, which was enough to support his and Wu Xia's small family. Besides, Wu Xia was also actively working as a temporary worker, so the combined salary of the two was not small.

Now Yan Jiecheng not only listens to Wu Xia, but also argues with everyone he talks to, and no one will dare to let him suffer any loss.

Wu Xia also became like Yu Li and started to become mean. Due to financial difficulties in recent years, she never agreed to have a child with Yan Jiecheng. After all, with Yan Fugui's family style, she knew that even if she gave birth to a child, she would suffer.

When Yan Jiecheng was completely obedient to her, she started to make trouble for the separation of the family and decided not to pay any more food expenses to the family.

In this way, Yan Jiecheng and his wife joined forces with the bachelor Yan Jiefang to begin planning how to split the family property.

Yan Jiefang has not converted temporary workers to regular employees for all these years. After all, in this era, the workforce is being streamlined and each worker's position is unique. It is very difficult for unskilled workers to become regular employees.

As a result, he hasn't found a good partner in all these years, but Yan Fugui didn't care. Instead, he talked to Yan Jiefang about freedom of marriage and asked him to find one on his own.

Unfortunately, when Yan Jiefang mentioned things like bride price, Yan Fugui said that he had no money to take care of it and asked Yan Jiefang to figure it out himself. The most he could do was to go to the street office and ask if he could rent a house.

After all, Yan Fugui knew that ever since the incident at Yan Jiecheng's wedding last time, his hopes of collecting wedding gifts had been shattered. Since then, he has been very averse to the idea of ​​wedding banquets. He has always said that a simple wedding is fine, as long as Yan Jiefang can find a good family.

After listening to what Yan Jiecheng and his wife said, Yan Jiefang immediately agreed. Anyway, he wanted to get married as soon as possible, and by then he would not be able to live with Yan Jiekuang, so he had to have his own house.
