Scholars in the courtyard.

Jia Dongxu's return did not attract too many people's attention, or in other words, Jia Dongxu could influence not many people in this courtyard.

Of course, those who are affected by him are not comfortable these days.

The old man is always very upright on weekdays, his eye sockets are sunken these days, his beard has grown and he hasn't trimmed it, and the old lady even runs to Jia's house every other day, rarely saying hello to people in the yard.

Qin Huairu hasn't dried clothes for a long time, and doesn't visit the house anymore, so the wrinkles on her face have never disappeared.

The only thing that remains unchanged is Jia Zhang's sinister triangular eyes, and he will curse at anyone who doesn't like it in the courtyard.

Everyone doesn't know her as well, who made her family unlucky.

She laughed to herself behind closed doors, but she didn't mind either.

After get off work in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the front door, he watched Yan Jiecheng run out angrily, and saw Yang Xiaotao ran out without tilting his head.

Yang Xiaotao looked around, only to realize that Yan Fugui was staring at the coal stove in a daze, thinking that Yan Laoxi was plotting against his son again.

I just didn't know how Yan Jie got it done, and ran out directly.

Back in the courtyard, I saw Qin Huairu washing in front of the faucet with a basin, and Jia Dongxu's clothes were still drying in the yard.

When Yang Xiaotao came over, Sha Zhu was standing aside angrily, comforting him.

"Sister Qin, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Every one of them has no face or skin, and they won't suffer a little bit."

"I'm so embarrassed to go back with such a small amount of money. We donated dozens of dollars and didn't say anything. How stingy..."

As Silly Zhu said, watching Yang Xiaotao come back, he turned his nose and stared again.

Next to her, Qin Huairu was washing her clothes hard, and when she heard footsteps, she looked up at Yang Xiaotao, her eyes were red from crying, and there was a red mark on her cheek.

Then quickly bowed his head and continued to wash clothes.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and ignored it, walking straight past.

However, when passing by the door of Jia's house, I vaguely heard Jia Dongxu's roar, the child's cry, and Jia Zhang's murmur.

Shaking his head and entering the room, he soon found out what was going on from Wang Dashan.

It turned out that the Jia family asked everyone to donate money last time, in the name of amputating Jia Dongxu's limbs, and needed money to save his life.

But now that Jia Dongxu came back, those two legs were still there, and the people in the courtyard had different voices.

Some people came to inquire about the situation, but Jia Dongxu didn't know about the amputation at all, and later heard about it from others, so he made a fuss at home.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, thinking that the Jia family really belonged to the white-eyed wolf.

Not only is he cruel to others, but even more cruel to his own family.

I don't even want to interact with this kind of person in my heart. I go home to light the stove and cook.

In the Jia family, after Jia Dongxu lost his temper, he couldn't hold on and lay on the bed.

Tears kept falling.

He can't stand up anymore, but it doesn't mean he wants to die.

It is better to die than to live.

Over the years, I have also seen disabled people who are struggling to survive and live with their miserable bodies. Even in the alley next door, there are such people.

Isn't that also alive?
But now, it's not enough to be paralyzed, but also die?

For a moment, after knowing the situation, Jia Dongxu couldn't save himself, roared crazily, and even slapped Qin Huairu who was crying beside him.

In the end, it was Jia Zhang who talked and talked to stabilize Jia Dongxu.

However, she did not say that she made the decision not to sign, and she even implicitly shifted the responsibility to Qin Huairu.

After Jia Dongxu vented, he could only accept his fate.

There's nothing he can do if he doesn't accept his fate. Now he can't do anything.

After venting, there was a moment of silence in the room.

Jia Dongxu drove the stick Xiaodang out, and then looked at Jia Zhang solemnly.

"Mother, if my son is gone, take good care of that girl, and don't let him feel sorry for me."

Jia Dongxu said with fierce eyes, if it wasn't for Qin Huairu's support in this family, he would have thought to let this woman go down with him.

"Son, don't worry. As long as mother is here, this little rascal won't think about anything."

"Yeah. Take good care of her. In this life, she will be born as a member of our Jia family. She will be a cow and a horse for our family. After death, she will also be a ghost of our Jia family. Go down and serve me."

"Yes, don't worry, from now on, the family's money will not be given to her, it will all be in mother's hands."

Jia Zhang said fiercely, and Jia Dongxu nodded happily.

"Also, keep an eye on her, don't let her get too close to Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai."

"Silly Zhu, uncle?"

Jia Zhang was confused, these two people helped her family the most, shouldn't the beast Yang Xiaotao be the most wary of?

Jia Dongxu let out a long sigh.

As Qin Huairu's man, he knew very well that on the surface, this woman looked peaceful and self-sufficient, but she looked different when the lights were turned off.

At least his body can't stand it at all.

Because of this, he understood how much damage a woman like Qin Huairu can do to Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

"Mother, that bastard Yang Xiaotao won't take a fancy to her. That guy has high vision. After so many things in these years, he won't even touch her. Don't worry about that."

"On the contrary, it's Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai. One doesn't have a woman, and the other woman can't have children. These women are not only tall, but also easy to have children. Do you think they can hold back?"

Jia Zhang suddenly realized, and the look he looked at Jia Dongxu was even more incredible.

Unexpectedly, her son also has this shrewdness.

"Dongxu, mother knows, you should rest well."

Jia Dongxu talked for a while, and his body was a little bit hard, so he lay down slowly, closed his eyes and said nothing,

When Jia Zhang saw her, she felt guilty, but then put her hand in her pocket, which was the last property of their family.

"Where should I put it..."

Yang Xiaotao was cooking, and there was another shout from the yard.

Looking out the window, the sound came from the front yard.

After listening carefully for a while, it should be the Third Master's family who quarreled.

"Another bunch of bullshit."

forecourt.

The third master's face was ashen, and Yu Li and the third mother were arguing in front of him, and the two of them almost made a move.

Yan Fugui didn't say a word, and it was embarrassing to be talked back by his daughter-in-law back then, but if he quarreled with his daughter-in-law, it was not a loss.

Yan Jiecheng was equally angry at the side, as for the other little ones, they hid from a distance and watched coldly.

"Stop making noise, let people listen to it, it will only increase the number of jokes."

Finally, Yan Fugui couldn't help but stop him, and the two women were tired, so they sat back beside the man.
Yu Li kicked Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng looked up at his wife, then at his parents next to him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "I paid the salary as soon as it was paid, so there is still money?"

Yan Fugui shook his head, "You know the situation at home, first you lose money, and then you donate money. It's getting colder every day. If you don't buy some coal, you'll freeze to death at night?"

"As a family, we paid for the coal together. This is the case in previous years, and it should be the case this year."

"Family, Dad, you didn't say anything when you donated money yesterday."

Yu Li listened to the flames, if Yan Fugui said something, could she give me fifty cents?

Yan Fugui's expression froze, and he felt a little regretful.

Jia Dongxu is back today, it's quite miserable, but his legs are still there.

Isn't this deceiving people and defrauding money?

The three mothers on the side quickly diverted the conflict, "Old man, you have to ask about this matter, so many people in the courtyard have opinions, what is the donation for?"

A bright light flashed in Yan Fugui's eyes, if they could get the money back, then they would have enough coal money for this year.

"You're right, I'll go to the backyard and talk to Lao Liu."

After saying that, he got up and went out, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li looked at each other, and were very happy for the victory of this resistance.

Yan Fugui trotted all the way, and when he passed by the middle courtyard, he glanced at Jia's house, and he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

However, when the cold wind blew, he immediately put this sympathy aside, and his own affairs were the most important.

At the entrance of the alley, a car slowly stopped.

The car door opened, and Lou Xiaoe got out of the car.

Looking at the courtyard house in the alley, the expression on his face is mixed with reluctance, nostalgia and relief.

She spent her youth here and left many deep memories here, some beautiful, but more sad.

There are all kinds of people here, and each of them is still fresh in her memory.

There are so many strange things here, and every thought is interesting.

But she knew that with her identity, she still couldn't integrate into it.

"Miss, shall we go in with you?"

The driver got out of the car and spoke, but Lou Xiaoe shook her head.

"No, there are not many things, just wait."

The driver returned to the car, Lou Xiaoe wrapped the scarf and walked quickly to the courtyard.

The three mothers in the front yard are easing up with Yu Li, and they don't look red-faced and thick-necked at all.

When Lou Xiaoe walked into the gate, the two saw it and looked at each other.

"Mom, Lou Xiao'e is back at this time, you say, those people from the Jia family..."

"Hey. Just right. Get the money back later."

The two smiled, but Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and curled his lips.

As for that old godmother of Jia's family, it's no wonder she wants to come back.

Lou Xiao'e walked to the middle courtyard, just in time to see Shazhu finished cooking and sending it to the deaf old lady in the backyard. When she saw it, she immediately yelled, "Isn't this silly Mao's daughter-in-law, she is willing to come back."

Lou Xiao'e glanced at it, and left quickly without saying a word.

Silly Zhu followed, talking non-stop.

"Oh, I'm talking to you."

"Okay, it's okay if you don't come back, but there is something going on in the courtyard, and you just came back, so you should donate the money on behalf of Shamao."

"Donate what money?"

Lou Xiaoe stopped and stood in front of the Moon Gate.

Just at this time, Qin Huairu came out with another basin of clothes, and smelled a bad smell from afar, and many people in the yard avoided it.

Looking at Jia's house again, under the lights, Jia Zhang ran out vomiting, with the same ugly face.

After eating tung oil by mistake last time, there was a shadow in the hearts of the two of them. When they smelled this smell, they couldn't help but think of the scene at that time.

Xiao Dang ran out and dared not stay at home.

Lou Xiao'e saw it strangely. Didn't something big happen in these two days?

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's appearance, felt sorry in his heart, and urged Lou Xiao'e, "Jia Dongxu's body has suffered, and the compound has raised money to donate, so it's up to your family."

"Have suffered a crime? What crime? Still have to donate money?"

"It's a serious crime. Don't ask, if Sha Mao didn't come back, you are the master of this family, just take the money quickly."

"Our big guys have taken a lot, don't embarrass the Xu family."

Silly Zhu said, but Lou Xiaoe sneered, "You should ask Xu Damao to go with the money."

Say, go home.

"Hey, why can't you listen to what you say, we are in the same courtyard, you can't see up and down, you..."

Lou Xiaoe stopped suddenly, looked at Shazhu every word, gritted her teeth and said, "From now on, I won't look up to see you!"

Silly Zhu was stunned.

Lou Xiaoe returned home and began to pack her things.

Silly Zhu went to the deaf old lady's house, put down his things, and told the story again.

The deaf old lady hurried out to Lou Xiaoe's house, and saw Lou Xiaoe packing up.

You can tell at a glance that this is not going to come back.

"Ezi, you are..."

Lou Xiao'e glanced back and continued to pack her things, "Go back to my mother's house!"

"Didn't you just come here? Why did you go back?"

"Will not come again in the future."

The deaf old lady was surprised, and then she wanted to understand something, and hurried up to ask, "Are you making up your mind? Are you leaving?"

Lou Xiaoe paused for a moment.

Definitely nod at the end.

The deaf old lady was very happy. Without Xu Damao, her grandson Shazhu would have a chance.

"It's good to leave, it's good to leave!"

Outside the door, Sha Zhu looked confused, and then laughed heartily.

Silly Mao, haha, you have today too.
