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

Yi Zhonghai hurried back to the courtyard after having breakfast in the hospital. As for the mother and son of the Jia family? Who cares about them? It’s good enough that he paid the medical expenses out of kindness. He doesn’t expect them to be returned to him. If Jia Zhang knew what he was thinking, she would have cursed him now. Return it to you? You are dreaming. You should have paid the medical expenses for me. I will return it to you? You didn’t even buy me some food before leaving. You are really a conscienceless person.

"Master, why have you been doing this so early in the morning instead of taking a good rest? Also, why did I find the yard so noisy after buying vegetables?" An aunt asked hurriedly when she saw Yi Zhonghai lifting the door curtain and walking in.

"Don't mention it. The mother and son of the Jia family had food poisoning. I just sent them to the hospital. Oh, by the way, you don't have to send breakfast to the old lady. I just bought breakfast for her." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai lay on the bed and thought. He was exhausted from running around just now. He had to think carefully about how to deal with the White Widow.

"Old Yi, we just sent the Jia family to the hospital. Are you going to pay for the medical expenses again?" An aunt asked while cooking when she suddenly remembered something.

"Well...it's me."

"Old Yi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but haven't we spent enough money on them over the years? Think about it yourself!" The aunt looked at Old Yi with a look of disappointment and said, "Look, what have they brought you over the years? Not to mention buying something for the master during the holidays, they also have to take something home from our house during the holidays, including food. Also, you are old now, do you think he can provide for you in your old age? You have been unable to work recently, and he has not come to see you, so he still has to spend the money of you as his master. Think about it yourself." After that, the aunt didn't wait for Yi Zhonghai to speak, and went to cook with a spatula.

"Hey, Lihua, listen to me, don't be angry." If it was normal, Yi Zhonghai would definitely scold the aunt for being short-sighted. But after helping the Jia family several times, he realized that he was raising an ungrateful person. His uncle was gone, and he hurt his waist while carrying him home, which meant he lost another month's salary. He also subsidized the mother and son of the Jia family to go to the hospital. If this continued, it would seem that he, Yi Zhonghai, was providing for the mother and son of the Jia family in their old age.

Moreover, during this period, he had a back injury and only his wife was busy with his work. He knew that no matter how good he was to the mother and son of the Jia family, it would not be as good as being good to his wife. Yi Zhonghai quickly stood up to comfort the aunt, "Lihua, I know you are angry, but don't be angry. Your health is not good to begin with. It's not worth it to hurt yourself with anger. I will never help them like this again. This is the last time."

"Are you serious? It's not that I don't believe you. You've said it several times, but every time you... Well, I don't want to say it anymore. It's up to you."

"Lihua, it's real this time. I will go find the White Widow soon. With the White Widow around, He Daqing will have to leave. When he leaves, Sha Zhu will be left to me and the old lady to take care of. Then we can just rely on him to take care of us in our old age. I think we should just forget about Jia Dongxu." Yi Zhonghai put his hand on the aunt's shoulder and comforted her.

"Hmph, that's more like it. But can He Daqing really leave this time? He didn't leave even when the situation was so serious. Can the White Widow convince him this time?" asked an aunt curiously.

"Hahaha, don't worry about that. Last time, the White Widow caught He Daqing cheating on her in bed. She has evidence against him. Don't you think that if you accuse him of having an affair now, will he be able to bear it? Losing his job at the steel mill is a small matter. He might even have to eat peanuts!"

"I was wondering how you could make up your mind not to take care of Jia Dongxu in his old age this time. So that's how it is."

"Of course, it's for the sake of having someone to take care of us in our old age. This pillar is getting bigger and bigger. If He Daqing doesn't leave, it's hard for the silly pillar to listen to us in the future. I have to find a way to urge the White Widow at noon. By the way, is there any money at home?"

Hearing Yi Zhonghai asking for money again, the auntie immediately became alert and asked, "Why do you want money?"

"Oh, it's not for the Jia family. Asking Widow Bai to do something must cost money. Is there any money left at home?"

"That costs money. I'll get it for you as much as you want." The aunt said as she put down the spatula and walked towards the storage room.

"200 yuan."

"What? 200? So much? Why doesn't she just rob people?"

"Oh, Lihua, I have brought so much with me, I will definitely not give her 200 directly, so we have to bargain. Don't worry, her cousin works under me, she won't dare to ask for too much."

"Okay, I'll get it for you." After saying that, the aunt took out a small box from the utility room. When she opened the box, there was a bundle of money inside. The aunt counted out 200 yuan and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, you're not working and you don't have any salary now, so let's save some money." The aunt was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would give the money to the Jia family again.

"Lihua, don't worry. I will go back to work when I get better. My monthly salary is enough for both of us to spend for several months. With me here, neither of us will starve." Yi Zhonghai took the 200 yuan and said to the old lady.

"Okay, have a good rest first. There's enough food for both of us at home even if you don't go to work. I'm going to cook, you go lie down on the bed."

"Okay."

Yi Zhonghai went out after breakfast and went straight to Bai Guafu's house. Now he was thinking about getting rid of He Daqing as soon as possible, and then slowly brainwashing Sha Zhu. Then he would have no worries about his retirement.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but quicken his pace. Following the route in his memory, Yi Zhonghai soon reached the White Widow's house.

"Comrade, what are you doing? You don't seem to be from our courtyard." Yi Zhonghai was about to enter the courtyard when an old man stopped him and asked.

"Hello, I'm here to look for Bai Xiao'e from your courtyard. Her cousin Li Chunsheng asked me to come here because he has something to discuss with him." Yi Zhonghai lied without thinking.

"Oh, Xiaobai, turn left after entering the door and it's the innermost room." When the old man heard Yi Zhonghai mention the names of Widow Bai and his cousin, he no longer doubted it and pointed the way to Yi Zhonghai.

"Thank you, Master." After saying that, Yi Zhonghai walked towards the White Widow's house without any delay.

"Knock knock knock, is anyone home?" Yi Zhonghai looked at the closed door and knocked.

"Coming, coming, don't be anxious." The voice of the White Widow came immediately from inside.

"Hey, stop it, someone's coming." The White Widow quickly pushed away a middle-aged man who was talking. The man got up reluctantly. The White Widow put on her clothes while walking, "Hide quickly, and don't make any sound. Do you hear me?"

"Okay, got it." The middle-aged man reluctantly went into the closet.
