Rebirth He Yuzhu stays away from troubles

As Liang Ladi often brought He Daxiang and He Dalin to Liang Laigeng and Yu Li's house to play, they would inevitably often meet Aunt Yi and Pan Meili, who took care of the deaf old lady's daily life.

Before Liang Laigeng and Yu Li came to the courtyard, the adults in the He family were basically at work, and the children were either in kindergarten or taken care of by Liang Ladi's mother. It can be said that they had little contact with the people in the courtyard and basically had no intersection.

Aunt Yi Pan Meili looked at He Daxiang and He Dalin and saw how well behaved they were. When the two children played together, they were able to express their needs and preferences without making any noise or quarrel.

The eyes of the two children are full of smartness and intelligence. Their innocence, liveliness and cuteness make people want to love them.

Look at the two children of the Jia family, Banggeng and Xiaodang. They are either wandering around the courtyard doing nothing, or rolling their eyes and making unreasonable troubles.

Aunt Yi has never had a child, and she has always believed that being disrespectful, throwing tantrums, and not giving up until one achieves one's goal is the nature of children. But since she has been in contact with He Daxiang and He Dalin more often, she naturally began to compare and think about them.

Combined with the fact that during this period of time, the aunts and grandmas in the courtyard were all chatting: the farce caused by the two children of the Jia family at the wedding banquet of Yan and Liu, and they all said that the Jia family really could not produce a good person.

For Aunt Yi, who doesn't have any children and has always liked Banggeng and Xiaodang, this is a bit hard to accept and a big blow.

Whenever there is something delicious, the banggeng and xiaodang will always appear at the right time. They will climb onto the table and eat as much as they can. If they don’t leave some for themselves in the kitchen, they won’t be able to eat it.

For the sake of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai lost his eighth-level job and is now only at level 7. Even so, Yi Zhonghai still often helps the Jia family with corn flour. Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu often come to borrow some white flour, eggs, money...

Thinking about how Jia Zhang would throw a tantrum whenever she was unhappy, thinking about Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu sucking their blood, thinking about how Bang Geng and Xiao Dang looked like this at such a young age...

Aunt Yi, who had been obedient to Yi Zhonghai since she was introduced by a matchmaker when she was young, now feels that her old age is filled with countless uncertainties, which makes her see no hope...

All these things made Aunt Yi Pan Meili depressed and upset. She seemed listless all day long and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing the condition of Aunt Yi Pan Meili, after all, they lived together day and night and benefited from Aunt Yi taking care of her daily life, so the deaf old lady wanted to enlighten her.

"Meili, if you feel unwell, go to the hospital."

"If you are jealous of other people's children, go and adopt one before you turn 50. You should raise the child when he is young and treat him well. When he grows up, he will remember your kindness and repay you."

"Life in the countryside is tough these days. You can go to your mother's village and take a look. You'll know your roots well and won't cause any trouble."

"As for the Jia family, you and Zhong Hai should forget about it. Give up as soon as possible."

"I know you can't let me go. If you leave for a while, Yu Li next door can come and help you. Go back to your mother's village and visit her."

...

The deaf old lady looked at Aunt Yi who was at a loss, and kept muttering.

When Aunt Yi returned home, she kept thinking about the deaf old lady's words.

"Well, I'd better go to the hospital and have a check-up first. It's not a good thing to feel weak all day long." Aunt Yi thought to herself.

After Yi Zhonghai went out to work, Aunt Yi hurried to the nearby Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Affiliated Hospital, thinking that it was closer and she could go back earlier after the examination.

The doctor looked at the various examination indicators and warned Aunt Yi: "You have been depressed for many years, and your heart may have some problems. You should pay attention to rest. You are in menopause, and there is some inflammation somewhere."

"I usually exercise properly and maintain a happy attitude. I don't have any other diseases."

Aunt Yi blurted out, "Is there any problem with my fertility?"

The doctor looked at Aunt Yi in surprise and consoled her, "Don't have another child at your age. It's very dangerous for older mothers to have children."

"Can I give birth?" Aunt Yi seemed to be talking to herself, but also seemed to be asking the doctor.

The doctor thought, "These days, many families have given birth to more than a dozen children, and they still want to have more." He advised with a little anger, "At your age, don't have any more children. You have to be responsible for your own life."

Aunt Yi thought about the scenes of the past 20 years in her mind. She walked all the way in a daze, not knowing how to get home.

"After being married for several years without having a child, Yi Zhonghai and her went to see an old Chinese doctor, who said it would be difficult for her to get pregnant and that she needed to take Chinese medicine to regulate her body. This regimen lasted for more than 20 years."

"Every time I persuaded Yi Zhonghai to divorce me because of the child and let him marry someone else; Yi Zhonghai always comforted me not to think too much, and that I would have a child after I got well."

"Because I didn't give birth to a child for the Yi family, I felt guilty towards Yi Zhonghai and I have always obeyed Yi Zhonghai and followed his every command."

...

When Yi Zhonghai got home from get off work, he saw his wife lying in bed. The kitchen was empty and no dinner was cooked. Thinking that his wife was not feeling well, he just made something to eat.

Listening to her husband finish his dinner, wash up and go to bed, and watching him fall asleep, Aunt Yi couldn't fall asleep. The past scenes appeared in her mind.

"The Yan family is calculating in their lives, the Liu family is doting on their eldest son, the He family, the Jia family..."

"Jia family, when Jia Zhang first entered the courtyard, she was quite pretty. When Old Jia was alive, she treated Old Jia docilely."

"No... Ever since Old Jia passed away, Jia Zhang gradually became unreasonable, and later on, she would throw a tantrum whenever she was not satisfied."

"Yes, every time Yi Zhonghai would speak for her and help her make big things small and small things disappear."

"Later, Jia Zhang became fatter and fatter. I really don't know where she got the money to run a private kitchen."

"Jia Dongxu is 18 years old. Yi Zhonghai, who often mentions Jia Dongxu, took the initiative to accept him as his apprentice."

"Jia Dongxu is getting married, and Yi Zhonghai is buying a sewing machine for the Jia family."

...

Aunt Yi forced herself to stop thinking and fall asleep, but she still couldn't fall asleep. She thought that she and Yi Zhonghai were also at the same age, so she just had to make do with it.

But looking at how enthusiastically Yi Zhonghai treats the Jia family, isn’t it because there is no child at home?

Yes, a child! Go and adopt a child who knows his background well. With a child at home, Yi Zhonghai will focus on his family and will naturally become estranged from the Jia family.

I fell asleep while thinking, and when I woke up, Yi Zhonghai had already gone to work.

Aunt Yi prepared breakfast and took it to the deaf old lady's room. Watching her eating, she asked, "Grandma, I want to go back to my natal village and adopt a child. Will Zhonghai agree?"

"Why doesn't he agree to rely on the Jia family for his old age? Don't let him be left with nothing."

"You should have made a prompt decision. It's not a good idea to just follow Zhong Hai's lead!"

"I'm old and useless, but I'm still worried about you!"

...

Seeing the deaf old lady still muttering, Aunt Yi stopped struggling in her heart and made up her mind and said, "Old lady, I will go back to my hometown for a few days. You have to take care of yourself."

When he returned home, Aunt Yi left a note on the table, telling Yi Zhonghai that she had to go back to her parents' village for important matters and would be back in a few days.

After leaving the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Aunt Yi and Pan Meili hurried to the bus station...
