Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

An old lady with a smile on her face introduced the situation to Ran Qiuye in simple and clear words: "This deaf old lady doesn't have many relatives in our courtyard now. But she is really a kind-hearted old woman, and she treats all of us as her own children. Whenever there is something delicious at home, everyone will always think of sending her a portion to taste."

The aunt knew that Gu Nan had a bad attitude towards the deaf old lady because the deaf old lady sided with He Yuzhu, but she still had to educate her. After all, if Gu Nan's family took care of it, she would save a lot of trouble.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye smiled knowingly, expressing her understanding. But then she couldn't help but frown and said in confusion: "Yes, Auntie, you are right. But I don't know why, I always feel that this old lady seems to be particularly close to He Yuzhu from the He family, but treats my Gu Nan as if she sees an enemy. What's going on?"

Facing the question raised by Ran Qiuye, the aunt seemed a little hesitant, her eyes flickering, and she answered hesitantly: "Oh, Qiuye, the saying is right, when people get old, they are just like children. Sometimes their tempers and personalities may become a little strange. Maybe because of this, the old lady treats your Gu Nan differently..."

Ran Qiuye didn't say anything more after hearing this, but just nodded slightly, then changed the subject and chatted with the aunt about other things. The two talked about everything, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After a while, the old lady suddenly looked out the window and said thoughtfully: "Qiuye, it's getting late. I think I should go home first! There is still room for me to clean." As she said that, she slowly stood up.

Ran Qiuye quickly stood up to see her off and said politely, "Okay, Auntie. Take care, and remember to come to my house again when you are free!"

The old lady responded, picked up the cotton jacket beside her, put it on, and walked out the door.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, a gust of cold wind blew in her face, making her shiver.

She sighed inwardly, "It's still warm inside Gu Nan's house! But there's nothing I can do. I still have a lot of things waiting to be done at home. I can only go back quickly!" Then, she wrapped her cotton jacket tightly, quickened her pace and left Gu's house.

In fact, ever since she came out, Auntie has been thinking about whether she can find Ran Qiuye and ask Gu Nan to build a house for her family. But she thought about the bad relationship between her own Yi Zhonghai and Gu Nan, and it would be difficult to handle this matter. But Gu Nan's family is really warm.

Ran Qiuye closed the door gently, her movements were cautious, as if she was afraid that the warmth would slip away. She thought to herself that she had to keep the warmth that she had accumulated with great difficulty.

Ran Qiuye was not a fool, so he naturally knew what the old lady was here for. She just wanted to see if her home was really warm.

Ran Qiuye shook his head and went to prepare for the lesson. After all, it would take a few days, so he would have to speed up the progress.

Jia Dongxu, who was in the house, saw an old lady walking in from outside, and quickly said, "Mom, why don't you go out and take a look? The old lady has already come out, you should go and ask what's going on!" As Jia Dongxu spoke, he gestured towards the door, his face full of anxiety.

Hearing her son's urging, Jia Zhang hurriedly put down the soles she was sewing and ran out of the house. When she saw the aunt standing in the yard, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is it really that warm over there at Gu's house?" There was a bit of doubt and expectation in her voice.

When the aunt heard this, she immediately perked up and said excitedly: "That's right! As soon as I entered the house, I was so hot that I couldn't wear my cotton-padded jacket, so I took it off and threw it aside. The room was so warm, it was so comfortable!" As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make Jia Zhang feel the warmth more intuitively.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang nodded repeatedly, with a trace of envy and desire in her eyes, and murmured to herself: "It seems that we have to find a way to let Gu Nan install such a set for our family..."

However, the auntie at the side just smiled and didn't respond. She thought, doesn't the Jia family know their current position in Gu Nan's heart? They actually want others to take the initiative to install a heating device for their family. It's just a foolish dream!

I am just thinking about it, but your Jia family also wants to think about it. It's really interesting.

Jia Zhang was originally full of joy and wanted to talk to Ran Qiuye about asking Gu Nan to install a heating device for her home, but she knew very well that with her current status in the courtyard, people might not pay attention to her. Thinking of this, Jia Zhang couldn't help but get angry, muttering curses and turning around and going home angrily.

In fact, what Jia Zhang was most afraid of was the big black dog from Gu Nan's family. It would be terrible if it bit her. Even Yan Bugui had been bitten, so maybe she wouldn't have been bitten if she went there.

As soon as she entered the house, Jia Dongxu came up to her and asked expectantly, "Mom, what did Auntie tell you?"

Jia Zhang nodded heavily and said unhappily, "Humph! That lady said that the Gu family is indeed quite warm. But we want Gu Nan to install one for our family, too. What should we do?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes rolled, and he came up with a plan. He hurriedly said to Jia Zhang: "Mom, in my opinion, you might as well publicize this matter in our courtyard. When everyone knows that Gu Nan's family has such a good heating device, they will definitely run over to take a look. By then, everyone in the courtyard will be watching. Can Gu Nan still have the audacity to refuse us?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, my son is so smart and thoughtful! All right, then I'll go out and talk to everyone, to see if Gu Nan can find any way to shirk this time!" With that, Jia Zhang rushed out again, ready to make a big announcement in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang didn't feel cold either. She first came to the front yard and then to the back yard. There were some women in the yard now. Although she knew that Gu Nan's house was warm, because Heizi was guarding the door, she planned to wait for her husband to come back and take a good look at Gu Nan's house. After all, if it was really so warm, she should have one at her own house as well.

Everyone in the courtyard was thinking that Gu Nan lived in the Siheyuan after all, so if they begged him, he would definitely install it for them.

Gu Nan didn’t know all this. At this moment, Gu Nan was in the kitchen.
