Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Just as I was about to leave, I saw a deaf old lady walking towards me step by step with heavy steps, looking very worried.

When the old lady saw Zhang Xingwang, her eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior. She pointed at him with her cane and shouted:

"Zhang family boy, don't leave yet."

This scorching look scared Zhang Xingwang. If it weren't for his age, he would have run away.

When the deaf old lady came over quickly with small steps, she grabbed Zhang Xingwang's hand and said aggrievedly:

"Xingwang, you are finally back. The old lady has been waiting for you for a few days. Come and have a good chat with me."

Zhang Xingwang was dragged to Sha Zhu's house. Today was a holiday and Sha Zhu was not at home. He said he had gone out to cook for someone.

He has been on a blind date for the past few days and has been eating a lot of delicious food. It is said that he has already emptied his bank account. Now He Yushui is the only one at home. The deaf old lady did not shy away and asked directly:

"Zhang family kid, you have so many bad ideas. Give me an idea. Your brother Zhuzi has been on several blind dates these days, but none of them worked out. I am so worried that I am dying."

Zhang Xingwang spread his hands helplessly after hearing this. It seemed that the old lady was desperate and had come to him to ask for help. Then he said to her:

"Old lady, please stop making trouble. I'm not married and have never been on a blind date, so how can I have any ideas?"

I was thinking, can Shazhu's blind date be successful? Even TV dramas don't dare to play it like this.

The old lady is still too naive. With Shazhu's personality, it probably wouldn't work even if you died and sent a dream to scare him.

And the two of them are obviously not on the same page, one wants filial piety, the other wants a very good-looking girl. The only thing they agree on is that they want someone from the city, preferably with a job.

But Zhang Xingwang dared to give an 83.4% guarantee. Considering Sha Zhu's face and his mouth that loves to read famous books, it is basically impossible for those who meet the requirements to be attracted to him.

Therefore, Zhang Xingwang was too lazy to waste his breath on the deaf old lady. He thought that he would wait for two years until Sha Zhu lowered his standards and see if there was a good-looking rural girl who would fall in love with him just because of his stuttering.

After Zhang Xingwang finished speaking, he ignored the pale-faced old lady and walked towards the propaganda team. After all, he still had important things to do.

It was not yet ten o'clock and the members of the propaganda team had not arrived yet. Only two or three aunts were sewing and mending clothes in the sun.

Zhang Xingwang first went to his uncle Liugen's house in the front yard. Uncle Liugen was not at home, so his aunt opened the door and poured him hot water enthusiastically.

Seeing my aunt's honest face, she looked exactly like Uncle Liugen. I wondered how this family survived in the courtyard.

He shook his head and took out 5 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 5 kilograms of corn from the sack and handed them to his aunt.

The main reason is that I dare not give more at one time, as it will be bad for both families. Ten kilograms is already the limit, and this is the limit for marrying a wife in the village.

No matter what time, people think the same way. If you give less, people will think it is relief and accept it. If you give too much, no matter how you explain, people will still think you have some intention. After all, there is no love or hate without reason.

No matter how good the relationship is, when it comes to money and things, you need a reason to justify it. If I give dozens of kilograms at a time, what if Uncle Liugen thinks that I like the girl in his family who is as dark as my second sister used to be? That would be the end of me.

The aunt was stunned when she saw so much food. She didn't know whether to take it or not. The desire in her eyes could not be hidden, but her pursed lips and slightly trembling hands showed her hesitation.

Zhang Xingwang sighed helplessly. He had never seen such honest people since he moved into the courtyard. The aunt's behavior made him feel that the food was worth it. At least she would not scold the cook after dinner. Then he said seriously:

"Aunt, every family has its hard times. Didn't my family almost go bankrupt before? Besides, my father and Uncle Liugen had a very good relationship when he was alive. This can be considered as helping each other. It's nothing."

The other party accepted it. I guess this aunt originally planned to only take sweet potatoes. It seems that she can only take small amounts and more often in the future.

After delivering the food, I returned to the Central Courtyard and saw that the members of the Propaganda Team had almost gathered. An old lady was picking vegetables nearby, and two children were playing not far away.

Yi Zhonghai had just come out with a cane. It looked like it would take him ten days or half a month to fully recover. When an aunt saw Yi Zhonghai go out, she took her two children a little further away and went to the front yard.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived, Zhang Xingwang took a brick and went to the propaganda team to sign in.

After greeting the aunts and laying the groundwork for a while, before he could even ask any questions, the aunts began to tell Zhang Xingwang all the gossip about the cold war between Yi Zhonghai and his aunt.

Just after saying a few words, Jia Zhang came up to him aggressively, squinting her triangular eyes, pointing at the people who had just spoken, and said with saliva flying:

"You gossipers, you can hardly eat a full meal all day long, and yet you are still gossiping. Do you think you can talk nonsense about my family affairs? Be careful or I will call a meeting of the whole courtyard to punish you one by one. Have you forgotten my kindness? You are a bunch of conscienceless people."

I was just about to continue speaking when I suddenly saw an old lady bringing her child into the central courtyard. She glared at a few aunts with a warning look, then ran back home.

An old lady came to Zhang Xingwang with her child. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes as she looked at Jia Zhang, who trotted home and closed the door and pulled the curtains in one go.

Originally, Zhang Xingwang thought that the aunt would complain to him and ask him what to do, but the aunt continued to pick vegetables and didn't mention the child or her own family at all. It seemed that she also thought that family disgrace should not be made public.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingwang could only add fuel to the fire and whispered to the aunts:

"You said that the Jia family's aunt was so aggressive and unforgiving just now, but now she is like a mouse seeing a cat when she sees the first aunt. Could it be that the first aunt and the first uncle are having a quarrel, and there is something about Jia Zhang's matter involved?"

As my cousin spoke, he noticed the unnatural expression of the aunt and the messy dishes she had chosen. He felt that Yi Zhonghai was in trouble, so he continued:

"According to the character of Aunt Jia, I'm not saying that she is a person who makes trouble for no reason. What do you think?"

The aunts all nodded in agreement, and then heard Zhang Xingwang say:

"You can figure it out without guessing. Before I left, the uncle and the aunt had just reconciled. Now it has become like this. Needless to say, Jia Zhang must have played a huge role in it, and she definitely didn't do anything good. Her performance just now clearly shows that she is guilty, and it seems that she has done something bad.

Everyone knows the temper of a middle-aged woman. It is impossible for her to get into such a fight with a middle-aged man over such a small matter. So there is only one answer, which is..."

At the end, Master Zhang smiled mysteriously and did not give his final guess, because he couldn't guess what had happened. Anyway, there was already very little room for the propaganda team to speculate, and the only thing left was to say that the two were having an affair.
