Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 260 She Was Really Mentally Ill
When Qin Huairu entered the west wing, the aunt said: "You guys should go and play, Sini, come to aunt's house for dinner at noon?"

"No need, aunt." Yan Jiedi said with a smile.

Today is the first day of the new year, and I usually eat at my own home, so Da Ma didn't insist anymore.

The aunt smiled and said, "Sini, I will come to aunt's house to play when I have free time, and aunt will cook something delicious for you."

"Thank you mom."

Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi went to the backyard to play.

The uncle returned home and found a bottle of Dieda wine and gave it to the eldest mother:

"You go and send it, and see how Mrs. Zhang is doing by the way."

"Well, that's fine too."

The aunt thought about it and said: "How about I bring some meat to make life easier for their family."

"Alright, you can pick up fatter ones and send them away."

Whether right or wrong, Yi Weidong kicked Mrs. Zhang twice, Yi Weidong had nothing to do, so the aunt wanted to send something over, so that Qin Huairu would not hold grudges, and lived in the same yard, looking down every day. , Annoyed and embarrassed to meet.

Besides, Mrs. Zhang is mentally ill, so she can no longer care about the past.

The aunt came to the kitchen with Dieda wine and took a piece of pork and a piece of donkey meat from the cupboard. After thinking about it for a while, she took two packs of pastries from the cupboard and put them in a bamboo basket. Entering Xiaodang and Huaihua's belly, the first mother still likes these two little girls.

The aunt walked into the west wing with a bamboo basket in a few steps, and saw Qin Huairu sitting on the ground, her face was pale, she put the bamboo basket on the table next to her, stepped forward to help Qin Huairu up, and said said:
"What's the matter with you? Mom, you're freezing yourself up by sitting on the ground in winter."

As he spoke, he patted the mud on Qin Huairu's buttocks, and helped Qin Huairu to sit on the chair next to him.

Qin Huairu pointed to the old woman he lost and said intermittently: "My mother-in-law is mentally ill. She has a seizure."

The first mother turned her head to look at Mrs. Zhang who was sitting by the bed. Mrs. Zhang still had her eyes blank, and repeated in a low voice with no expression on her face:
"Yi Weidong, return my money, it's all my hard-earned money."

Isn't this the same as when I was outside?Why did Qin Huairu sit down on the ground in fright?
The aunt waited for a while, but Mrs. Zhang remained unchanged, and said:

"Mom, isn't sister-in-law Zhang the same as before? I don't see any difference."

"is it?"

After asking, Qin Huairu remembered that her old lady had been pretending to be mentally ill before, and no one else knew she was faking, but she had tried it just now, and if there were no outsiders, she would stop pretending to be mentally ill.

It's just that this seems to be really mentally ill!Yesterday, I personally told Qin Huairu that she was faking her mental illness. How could she really become mentally ill?

Qin Huairu couldn't tell that Mrs. Zhang was pretending before, but now she was really mentally ill and frightened herself.

Could it be that the old woman really had a mental attack after seeing Yi Weidong?
Qin Huairu stabilized her mind, now is not the time to think about it, and said: "Auntie, I was just frightened all of a sudden for some reason, and I feel much better now."

Seeing that Qin Huairu's face had returned to color, the aunt thought it was Qin Huairu who didn't sleep well at night, and persuaded her, "Mom, it will not be easy for you in the future, and you have to take care of yourself. If something unexpected happens, who can you count on this day?"

Although Xu Damao is now married to Qin Huairu, the first mother is not optimistic about Xu Damao's ability to take care of Mrs. Zhang and Qin Huairu's two children, so she should rely on Qin Huairu to do everything by herself.

Qin Huairu sighed, "Thank you aunt, I know, I will take good care of my mother-in-law and children."

Qin Huairu also knew that Xu Damao could not be counted on, the two wanted to divorce in the next year, and the Jia family would have to support themselves in the future!
The aunt said: "I'll bring you some pork and donkey meat, and two catties of pastries for you to give Sister Zhang and the child a boost."

The aunt took out all the things from the basket, Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Auntie, no need, I bought them all, and the two children are not short of food."

Although she said words of refusal on her lips, Qin Huairu didn't show much humility. The aunt said:
"Mom, we've been neighbors for decades, so you don't have to be polite, just let me know if you have any difficulties later, and everyone won't ignore you."

At this time, it is different from later generations. You may have lived in the same unit for many years without knowing each other. At this time, the door is connected to the door. The family cooks, the yard is full of fragrance, life is not rich, and the neighbors support each other. No one knows which cloud in the sky will have rain, or who will have a bad day and need a neighbor's help.

Qin Huairu said: "Thank you aunt, I will inevitably trouble you in the future."

Qin Huairu got up and sent the first mother outside the house, the first mother said: "Go back to the house quickly and spend more time with Sister Zhang."

"Well, go slowly, auntie."

Qin Huairu turned around and went into the room. The two pieces of meat and two catties of pastries on the table couldn't make Qin Huairu happy, so they put them away first, and came to the old woman, and shouted again after she regained her composure.

After struggling for a few minutes, Qin Huairu had to face the reality that her old lady was really mentally ill.

What's ridiculous is that I really believed the old woman's words, thinking that the old woman's mental illness was just pretending, and she was able to hide it from the professional doctors in the prison, and laughed at them for being cheated by an old woman.

Qin Huairu laughed at herself, fortunately only Xu Damao knew about all this, but how could she tell Xu Damao about this?Yesterday he told Xu Damao that he was pretending to be mentally ill, but now he said he was really mentally ill, so would Xu Damao still dare to sleep in this room?
After thinking about it, Qin Huairu decided to stop talking about it, and let's talk about it later, maybe it can last until Xu Damao didn't find out that he was really mentally ill when the two divorced.

When Qin Huairu saw that the old woman was just whispering to ask Yi Weidong for money, she guessed in her heart that it was because of Yi Weidong, the enemy who cheated the old woman of money, that she got sick and asked Yi Weidong to settle accounts. If she didn't see Yi Weidong, maybe there would be no problem , this conclusion can only be observed more.

Life has to go on, doesn't it?Qin Huairu got up and went outside to continue washing the vegetables.

Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi returned to the backyard, and Yan Jiedi urged: "Weidong, quickly take out the little frog and let me play for a while. If you don't play, you will go home for lunch."

Yi Weidong first found out the tin frog from the net bag and handed it to Yan Jiedi. Yan Jiedi gave it to Yan Jiedi first, then put it on the table and watched the frog jump up and down, with a pure smile on his face.

Yi Weidong shook his head, put the things in the net pocket into the cupboard first, then turned back and said, "Xiedi, come to the backyard and walk in front of the uncle's door, and stay away when you see Mrs. Zhang, don't stand around stupidly." move."

Yan Jiedi played with the tin frog without turning her head and said, "I see, it's really long-winded, you are the fool."

Yi Weidong sat over and looked at Yan Jiedi and asked, "Have you never heard the story of the little tadpole looking for his mother?"

At that time, there was no such article in the Chinese textbook, so Yi Weidong asked this question.

Yan Jiedi said, "No! Brother Wei Dong, tell me about it."

Yi Weidong said, "Once upon a time, there was a group of tadpoles with big heads and long tails. They swam around in the water."

After listening to Yi Weidong's story, Yan Jiedi said, "It's not funny at all, it's not too funny to tell to children of a certain age."

Yi Weidong thought this was the most fun thing in the world.

It's just that I am not yet an adult, and I don't even have the qualifications to play.

Yan Jiedi played with the tin frog for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, she reluctantly said, "Brother Weidong, I'll come over to play this afternoon."

"Okay, just come here."

When Yi Weidong went to the old man's house, he didn't see anyone else. The old lady said, "The old lady ate in her own room. Your brother will go to Ezi's house and come back tomorrow. Your sister was also picked up by Zheng Aimin."

Good guy, the dog food was scattered all over the place in a blink of an eye, and Yi Weidong almost couldn't eat anymore. During lunch, the uncle and aunt told Yi Weidong again, saying that Mrs. Zhang is getting old, so she should stop talking to her in the future If there is a conflict, just run away when you see her.

"Don't worry, I know that, I don't want to hit her either, I'll just hide and walk away from now on."

Yi Weidong also didn't want to beat Mrs. Zhang every day. If he was old enough to beat him up, it wouldn't be enough to lose money if he lost an arm or a leg.

If it comes a few more times, his reputation will be rotten, and it will be troublesome if it spreads that Yi Weidong beats the old man.

After eating, Yi Weidong took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, and then went into the room to chat with the uncle and aunt.

It didn't take long for the sound of fights to be faintly heard in the front yard. On the first day of the new year, there were people fighting here, and it was lively again.

Yi Weidong said: "Uncle and Auntie, I'll go to the front yard to see what's going on."

The uncle smiled and said: "It's hard for you to chat with us, go and have a look, and call me if things get serious."

Yi Weidong ran towards the front yard as soon as he agreed. The first day of the new year was still full of excitement, so there was really no one else.

After passing the Moon Gate, I saw Yan Jiekuang waving a wooden stick and chasing his second brother Yan Jiefang all over the yard, while Yan Jiedi stood in front of the gate and shouted to cheer for his third brother.

Most of the residents in the front yard came out and yelled for Yan Jiekuang to stop, and people in the back yard also came to watch the excitement one after another.

Yi Weidong walked up to Yan Jiedi who was cheering and said, "What's the matter with Jiedi? Your third brother beat your second brother, and you didn't know how to persuade him, so you cheered up the third brother."

Yan Jiedi turned her head to see that Yi Weidong was coming, and said, "My second brother deserves a beating for stealing my third brother's money."

"Your second brother stole Yan Jiekuang's money?" Yi Weidong asked again.

"Yeah, it's the money we sell fish. The second brother is too bad. He secretly took it and spent it, and even accused me of stealing it. So I want to cheer for the third brother and beat this bad second brother to death."

Yan Jiekuang, the second eldest in the Yan family, was still in school and had no money at hand. He accidentally found money hidden by the third son Yan Jiekuang at home, and secretly took two yuan to spend. Yan Jiekuang’s money was hidden separately. It was ten yuan, and today I found that the money was two yuan less. Don't think too much, it was the second brother Yan Jiefang who stole it.

It's very simple. If the third master and his wife would take all of them, Yan Jiedi has more money than Yan Jiekuang, and he wouldn't come to steal two dollars. The elder brother is married to Yu Li and has his own house, and he won't come to turn Yan Jiekuang's bed.

The angry one was that when Yan Jiekuang questioned Yan Jiefang why he wanted to steal the money, Yan Jiefang denied it and dragged Yan Jiedi out to blame him, saying that Yan Jiedi might have stolen it, and Yan Jiekuang quarreled with his second brother angrily.

Yi Weidong said with a smile: "Yan Laoer deserves it right, and it doesn't hurt to be killed, but it's just that it's not okay to be killed this New Year's Eve!"

Yan Jiedi burst out laughing and said, "You can't beat my second brother to death if it's not the New Year's Eve, you really want to kill him!"

In the yard, Yan Jiekuang was still chasing his second son, Yan Jiefang, but he was younger after all, and he couldn't catch up with Yan Jiefang at all, and he was still out of breath.

Yi Weidong asked: "Xie Di, have you hidden your money? Will it be found out?"

Yan Jiedi looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "I hid it in the pillow, and it hasn't been found yet, but I don't know if my mother will rummage through my private money."

Yan Jiedi thinks about it, since the second brother will find Yan Jiekuang's money today, but maybe he will find his own money tomorrow. It doesn't matter if the pocket money was only one or two cents before, but this is more than 40 yuan, which is more than one dollar for his father. The monthly salary is still high, if my mother finds out and confiscated it, it won't be a loss!
It's just that the money needs to be hidden, so I have to think again.

Yan Jiekuang in the yard chased him a few more laps, and when he saw that he couldn't catch up with his second brother Yan Jiefang, he cried angrily, panting heavily, and threw the stick away, Yan Jiekuang cried and said, "Second brother Yan, you Just wait for me, our business is not over."

Wiping his tears and entering the house, Yan Jiefang was also very tired, and sat down on the steps, panting heavily.

Yan Jiedi yelled at Yan Jiefang: "You are not my second brother either, hmph, don't come in."

After speaking, he dragged Yi Weidong into the house, and those who came to watch the excitement saw that there was no fight in the end, and the parties went home crying angrily, so they went home after the show, leaving Yan Jiefang sitting on the steps directly panting. gas.

Yi Weidong entered the third master's house, the most obvious thing was the iron school-style bunk bed facing the big bed, and Yan Jiekuang was laying down on the lower bunk to drop golden beans.

Yi Weidong came in and sat beside him and said, "Yan Laosan, why are golden beans worthless?"

Yan Jiekuang wiped away his tears, turned around and sat up, looked at Yi Weidong and Yan Jiedi who were smiling, his face blushed, feeling that he must be crying ugly now, and it would be embarrassing to be in front of them, so he took out a handkerchief and wiped away his tears , said:
"Weidong, you are here. My brother stole two yuan from me, and he still refused to admit it. In the end, he said that Sini stole it."

Yi Weidong smiled and said: "Okay, what a big deal, isn't it just two fish, we go fishing again later, won't the money come? Now you have collected all the money, don't be caught Found."

"Yeah, I'm going to hide the money in another place, or when my dad comes back, that penny won't be mine."

Yan Jiekuang didn't care about crying anymore, and took out some money from under his pillow, his books, and old shoes, and Yi Weidong was speechless for a while.

But soon Yan Jiekuang was going to hide the money, Yi Weidong dragged the reluctant Yan Jiedi out, and Yan Jiefang didn't know where he went.

Yi Weidong said:
"Xie Di, where else do you want to see where your brother hid the money!"

Yan Jiedi smiled and said, "Actually, I know where my brother is hiding, but now I don't."

"You just hide your money well, and I'll go back if you don't see the excitement."

"Brother Weidong, you are good or bad, come to our house to watch the excitement."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "I didn't know it was your brother who was fighting when I came here!"

Yi Weidong didn't stay too long, and went back to his room through the moon gate. At this time, there were really few pastimes. The only home appliances that counted as entertainment now had a storytelling or Peking opera excerpts on the radio at most. Why don't you just read the novel!

Yi Weidong stayed there for a while, when Qin Huairu opened the door and came in and shouted, "Is Weidong at home?"
