Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

"I'm not going to work. I'll be working the day after tomorrow. What's the matter? Haven't you already completed the divorce procedures? Is there anything else you want to do?" Liu Lihua said as she poured a cup of boiled water for the aunt.

"Hi, it's nothing. The deaf old lady said she had to go to the street office, so I asked if you will go to work tomorrow." An old lady said.

"What is this old lady doing? What could she possibly do by going to the street office?" Liu Lihua said with a frown.

"Then I don't know. Don't worry about her. If she wants to go, just take her back." The aunt said with a smile.

"That's fine, I guess it's nothing serious. By the way, sis, your letter will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. You should be able to receive a reply in another three to five days." Liu Lihua suddenly thought of something and said to the aunt.

"Okay, thank you, Chenzi. Then you didn't write my reply address or something, right?" The aunt said to Su Xingchen.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I told him our home address and my name. This letter is specifically sent to me. I'll tell you when the letter arrives." Su Xingchen quickly explained.

"That's good. Thank you for your help. Okay, I won't sit here with you any more. I'll go back first. You guys should go take a shower and go to bed late at night." With that, the aunt went out.

"Hey, big sister, slow down."

"It's okay, you don't have to send me off. It's just a few steps away." The aunt turned around and waved her hand to let Su Xingchen and Liu Lihua go in. Then she pretended to walk to the middle courtyard until Su Xingchen closed the door. She observed that there was no one around. Then she quickly and quietly walked to the firewood in their house, hid her cloth bag at the innermost part of the firewood pile, and then walked to the middle courtyard.

The deaf old lady searched inside for a long time but found nothing. Seeing that it was almost time, she hurriedly walked out of the aunt's room, opened the door, and sat in the main room as if nothing had happened.

A lady came in and saw the deaf old lady still sitting there, and said, "Old lady, I'll get you some hot water, you can take a shower and go to bed."

"Huh? Well, I'm old, how could I fall asleep here?" The deaf old lady opened her eyes leisurely and pretended to have just woken up.

Humph, old fox, I didn't close all my doors just now, why are you still pretending? Auntie knew that the deaf old lady would go to the house to look for photos while she was out, and it turned out to be just as she expected. Auntie was too lazy to expose her, "It's okay, you go to the inner room and sit first, I'll get you some hot water to wash and go to bed."

"Okay, then I'll go in first." As she said that, the deaf old lady walked into her room with her crutches, still thinking about where she had left the thing she had just searched for.

The auntie was carefully observing the front yard just now, but she didn't expect that her actions had been observed clearly by Su Xingchen. He had just locked the door and stretched his body when he saw the auntie quietly walking back through the crack of the door. This couldn't help but arouse his curiosity, so he quietly stepped back two steps and came to the other side of the door. He saw the auntie looking around to see if there was anyone around, and stuffed a cloth bag in her pocket into the firewood pile at home. His first reaction was, could it be that the auntie was sent by Yi Zhonghai to harm his family?

What did she put there so quietly? Su Xingchen frowned immediately, but since the lady was outside, he didn't rush to expose her. If there was something, it would be fine, but if there was nothing, it would be embarrassing. Su Xingchen simply waited for the lady to leave and then took a closer look at what it was.

Seeing the old lady walking away, Su Xingchen waited for a long time before he opened the door and walked out. Seeing that there was no one around, Su Xingchen quickly walked behind the firewood pile and took out the cloth bag that the old lady had just hidden, then went into the house and closed the door.

Although Liu Lihua entered her room, Su Xingchen was afraid that she would suddenly come out, so he simply took the things and went back to his room. He locked the door and then took out the cloth bag from his pocket with confidence, and found a stack of money and a photo inside. Su Xingchen was immediately shocked when he saw the photo. The deaf old lady's identity was questionable! Then why did the aunt bring these things here? If she wanted to let their family expose it, there was no need to be so sneaky. Did the aunt put it here before?

Su Xingchen couldn't figure out why the auntie did this. Oh, the auntie said that the old lady and she were going to the street office, so they must have something to do.

"What can I do at the street office?" Su Xingchen walked back and forth with the photo in his hand, thinking. However, he could basically rule out the possibility that Auntie wanted to harm their family. After all, these things could not prove anything. Auntie and Yi Zhonghai were really divorced. What was the point of Auntie putting this here?

"Could it be that an old lady discovered the secret of the deaf old lady? Oh, house, house! That must be it!" Su Xingchen suddenly thought of something, and everything seemed to make sense.

Everyone in the hospital thought that the old lady was a relative of a martyr, but there was something wrong with this photo. The old lady's family was pure reactionaries, how could they be relatives of martyrs? The first lady must have discovered the old lady's secret. It was not safe to keep these things with her, so she simply put them with Su Xingchen. The deaf old lady could never have thought that the first lady would put these things in such an obvious place.

That must be that the aunt and the deaf old lady reached some kind of deal. The deaf old lady transferred the house to the aunt, and the aunt would not reveal the old lady's identity. Thinking of this, Su Xingchen immediately felt that he had a super brain. It was a pity that he was not allowed to investigate the case with this incredible reasoning ability. That's right, an old lady lived alone in this courtyard a few years ago. Who would believe you if you said there was no problem?

But now this photo is a hot potato, and it is neither right to put it back nor to keep it. Thinking of this, Su Xingchen decided to simply make a copy and put the things back, and wait for the next time when the auntie takes it, he will ask directly what is going on. If he guessed correctly, when the auntie and the deaf old lady come back from the street office, she will definitely come to take these things.

As for the money in the cloth bag, Su Xingchen didn't care at all. What he wanted was the house! Although the house where the deaf old lady lived was not as bright as He Yuzhu's house, it was the largest one in the middle courtyard. He didn't mind paying some money to buy it from Auntie. Presumably, Auntie didn't want to stay in the courtyard anymore. As long as he could offer a reasonable price, Auntie would definitely agree. The money from Yi Zhonghai and the money from the house were enough for Auntie to live well alone, not to mention going to her cousin's house.
