The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui also talked about this matter with Yu Li at home.

The two of them sat together, with Yu Li resting her head on Liu Minghui's shoulder.

"Is this true or false? Is the old lady really that rich?"

Yu Li asked Liu Minghui out of curiosity. In her opinion, this matter was most likely false and someone was just playing tricks.

Liu Minghui heard this and said cheerfully, "It's hard to say. The deaf old lady doesn't socialize much with the people in the courtyard. Think about who was the first person to move into this courtyard?"

"old lady?"

Yu Li asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's the deaf old lady. The uncles all moved in later, so no one knows whether it's true or not. Maybe her previous identity was not simple."

As Liu Minghui spoke, he also began to think. Liu Minghui was not lying. Apart from He Daqing and his son, Liu Minghui knew best in the courtyard that the deaf old lady's house did have a lot of valuables hidden.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for a deaf old lady to have these things.

But there are exceptions, such as what Liu Minghui just said, that is, the deaf old lady had an unusual identity in the past, maybe she was the mistress of some wealthy family.

As for why she didn't say that the other party was from a wealthy family, Liu Minghui felt that it was impossible. He thought that a childless old lady like the deaf lady was most likely the mistress of a wealthy family in the old times.

Because there must be a reason for not having children.

Because in the old society, although a man could marry several women, he could only have one wife, so the status of the wife was very high. As long as she was married into the family in a formal way, she had the right to restrain the man.

What if the wife is not happy for the man to take a concubine? The man will then find a house outside to accommodate the woman he likes.

The status of a mistress in a wealthy family like this is even lower than that of a concubine. After all, a concubine has to marry into the family and can still give birth to children. However, for a mistress, the wife will generally take more extreme measures to prevent her from giving birth, just to ensure the stability of her status.

That is why Liu Minghui asserted that the deaf old lady used to be the mistress of a wealthy family.

"Oh, so that means this could be true?"

Yu Li said belatedly after listening to Liu Minghui's story.

Liu Minghui didn't say anything, but just smiled mysteriously. He couldn't say that he knew who spread the news.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was drinking alone at home.

"Why are you still drinking? Don't drink too much later. It will be very tiring for me to help you up."

Li Guihua saw this and said unhappily.

"Haha, I'm happy today, so I'll drink a few more glasses."

Xu Damao said with a proud smile.

In his opinion, He Daqing's family would have a headache today. After all, Xu Damao had seen that many neighbors who had never entered the backyard secretly ran in and took a look around.

The purpose is self-evident, it is aimed at the deaf old lady.

Fortunately, the weather has been good recently and the deaf old lady rarely goes out, so these things did not happen.

However, Xu Damao could imagine that He Daqing would definitely tell the other party later, and then Xu Damao could watch the show secretly.

"What are you so happy about? Are you planning to hook up with a deaf old lady?"

Li Guihua asked curiously. She had also talked to several neighbors while working in the yard today. She was shocked by the news she heard today.

With her knowledge, how could she know what it feels like to have so much money?

It is impossible to say that I am not envious.

Hearing his wife say this, Xu Damao retorted angrily, "What are you thinking? Even if the He family members are not happy, that damn old woman will not like me either."

Xu Damao saw all this very clearly. At most, he was just causing trouble for He Daqing. As for the delusion of replacing the other party, he had no intention at all.

Who could have made it so that when Mr. Xu was still living in the courtyard, they and the deaf old lady would not be happy?

When Yi Zhonghai called him the ancestor of the courtyard, Xu's father immediately refuted him. I believe that the other party must not have a good impression of him.

"Ah, I thought our family had hope, after all, we live so close."

Li Guihua said with disappointment after hearing this.

Just as Xu Damao thought, through the crack in the door, Xu Damao saw He Daqing hurriedly going to the deaf old lady's room. Not long after, he heard a lot of noise coming from the other room, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Deaf old lady's house.

Looking at He Daqing in front of her, the deaf old lady's face was stiff, and her shriveled palm held the crutch tightly, which was fortunately of good quality, otherwise it might have been crushed.

"He Daqing, why are you showing off? Aren't you trying to hurt me?"

The deaf old lady looked at He Daqing with doubt. In her opinion, He Daqing was causing trouble for her. It had been agreed before that He Yuzhu would be her godgrandson, but now it has been almost a month and there is still no progress.

She also received a piece of news that made her famous.

He Daqing had an embarrassed expression on his face. He didn't know either. It was obviously a very private place and someone could hear it.

"Old lady, swear to God, I really didn't know anyone would eavesdrop, and what if I didn't tell my stupid son?"

It didn't take long for He Daqing to go from feeling guilty to feeling righteous and confident.

In He Daqing's opinion, his He family has no hope. The matter of the deaf old lady has spread too widely. The street office may come to inquire about what happened in a few days. He Daqing is planning to back off and does not want to get involved in this matter. After all, the He family is doing well now, and it is not advisable to take risks.

After all, money makes the world go round, not to mention such a huge amount of money. He Daqing couldn't believe it. What if some thief with bad intentions knew about it and stole it into the yard?

He Daqing was right. At the end of the year, many people around here had taken holidays one after another. The big-character poster posted by Xu Damao had spread throughout Nanluoguxiang, and many people had already heard the news.

The deaf old lady took her cane and smashed it at He Daqing.

"Hey, old lady, why are you hitting me? As long as we come from a legitimate background, we have nothing to fear."

He Daqing didn't intend to get involved in this matter at this time. Instead, he smiled and comforted the other party.

"Get out of here, you ungrateful bastard."

The deaf old lady couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought about her belongings. She knew that it wouldn't be long before people from the street office would come to look for her.

Thinking about how she worked hard all her life but ended up not having any children, she blamed herself in her youth for taking advantage of her youth and beauty to become a mistress of some family.

Now, because of that man’s wife, she was unable to bear children and eventually became old and ugly. The other man’s family left the mainland, and she only found out about it later.

That is to say, the other party left something before leaving.
