Siheyuan: The Cellar

As soon as the deaf old lady entered the door, she saw a large plate of scrambled eggs and braised pork on the table.

For a moment, she almost forgot about her toothache.

With a hint of excitement in her tone, she said, "Zhong Hai, Xiao Gao. You two are really filial! You know that I, the old lady, have been craving for meat recently, right?"

After saying that, without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak, he sat down and picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and started eating.

As for the constipated expressions on Yi Zhonghai and Gao Huilan's faces, she chose to turn a blind eye.

If a person wants to live a comfortable life, he has to be shameless.

The deaf old lady who had experienced many ups and downs naturally knew this truth. She had no psychological pressure at all when eating.

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and said, "Old lady, are you still going out to buy meat by yourself?"

"Yeah, didn't I just tell you? I've been craving meat lately. If I had known you had it today, I wouldn't have gone to buy it!"

Yi Zhonghai was even more unhappy when he heard this. "Why don't you listen to it yourself? Are you talking like a human being? You are taking advantage of me."

In the short time it took me to lose consciousness, half of the eggs were gone, and the braised pork was almost gone.

Yi Zhonghai watched so hard that the veins on his forehead almost popped out.

"Old lady, please eat slowly and don't choke. No one is going to snatch the food from you."

For the sake of the meat brought by the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai once again suppressed his anger and spoke patiently.

"Don't worry! I know what's going on. Hey, you two, stop talking to me! Eat too."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two plates with only a little leftovers and immediately fell into deep thought: What are you asking me to eat?

But it’s okay today.

What made Yi Zhonghai happy was that the old lady actually knew that he had brought a piece of meat today.

It’s not too late to eat in the evening.

However, after the deaf old lady had eaten and drunk her fill and returned to the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the house and immediately transformed into Brother Crow.

The table was overturned with a loud bang.

"Bandit, she is simply a bandit, even worse than a bandit."

It was at this time that Yi Zhonghai began to learn how to use the moral law, and he suffered a considerable setback when he used it for the first time.

The skill of natural qi cultivation has not yet reached the level of more than ten years later.

At this moment, he was so angry at the deaf old lady that he broke down.

He took a piece of meat to eat at home, and then after he finished eating his own meat, he just took the meat he bought and left.

Yi Zhonghai asked the old lady if she wanted him to help her prepare the meat in the evening and then come over to eat.

The deaf old lady looked at Yi Zhonghai and his wife warily and asked, "Are you two going to eat the meat that the old lady bought?"

Moreover, the voice was so loud that Yi Zhonghai was embarrassed. He could only send the deaf old lady out in a gentle manner.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai smashing things at home, Gao Huilan felt a little uncomfortable, but she could only clean up the house helplessly.

"Who told you to associate with this old man? He's just a bandit, even worse than a bandit."

Yi Zhonghai, who was furious, turned the tables and threw all the blame on Gao Huilan as soon as he opened his mouth.

"How would I know she was this kind of person? She looked kind and gentle before. And didn't you say you would take care of her in her old age? Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to rely on our family."

Compared to Yi Zhonghai's rage and frustration, Aunt Gao Huilan's mood was obviously much more stable.

First, he calmly explained why he was not good at judging people, and then he also explained why he was associating with the deaf old lady. It was all because Yi Zhonghai said he would take care of her in her old age.

I just want to say directly that I don’t take the blame for this.

"You dare to talk back? Are you rebelling? You! I must teach you a lesson today!"

How could Yi Zhonghai tolerate seeing that the old lady refused to take the blame?

She had to get the hang of it, otherwise she wouldn't know that the pot was actually made of iron.

"Oh, then why don't you go pick up a stick by the cellar?"

Hearing the calm words of the aunt, Yi Zhonghai, who had already rolled up his sleeves, was suddenly stunned.

Cellar? What cellar? Did she know what happened last night?

Then, Yi Zhonghai remembered that two days ago, he and Jia Zhang were locked in the cellar by some wicked guy, and then after a while he went to open the door, and it miraculously opened again.

He didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that the door was in disrepair, so it didn't open the first time.

But now it seems that this is not the case!

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai said uncertainly: "Were you the one who opened the door two days ago?"

On the other side, the deaf old lady who had just walked into the backyard naturally heard the noise and scolding in Yi Zhonghai's house.

But he pretended not to hear anything and continued to walk slowly towards his home.

But the crooked old dragon king-like smile on her lips betrayed her and proved her inner joy.

Because what does it matter? As long as Yi Zhonghai wants to raise an old man in this courtyard, he will not fall out with her. Instead, he will treat her well.

Spend your entire life to support her.

Otherwise, if he hasn't done a good job of proofing himself and hasn't created a good image for others to see, how can others feel at ease to support him in his old age?

Respecting the old and loving the young is not just talk. It needs to be done in person. Even if it is just a pretense, you have to pretend to be like this so that others will believe it.

As a reward, the deaf old lady said that as long as Yi Zhonghai provided her with food and clothing, she would not mind doing him a small favor.

For example, he had always liked Doctor Liu. As for her son? He was definitely not a reliable candidate for old-age care.

Logically speaking, since the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai have common interests, she shouldn't go up and make things difficult for Yi Zhonghai.

But the deaf old lady had her own reasons for doing so. As a native of Sijiu City, she had never experienced such a hard life before settling down in this courtyard.

Ordinary simple meals could not satisfy her appetite at all.

Besides, she had never cooked before, so the food she cooked was just so-so. In addition, her health was not very good, which made her even more lazy to cook.

After all, cooking for yourself is not as convenient as eating ready-made food.

In this situation, she would naturally look for a sucker to eat for her.

Except for a few families, the people in the courtyard were basically very poor. They were lucky enough to ensure that their family members did not starve to death. How could they have any extra food for them to eat and drink?

Of course, the first place she thought of was actually Liu Li's house, for three reasons. First, the two families were close, so she could better grasp the other party's cooking progress and the time of her visit.

Second, she had been in contact with Liu Li for a long time and knew that although Liu Li was a bit aggressive, she was a kind person and would not refuse a small request from a lonely old woman like her.

As for the last point, it is also the most important. She has done a favor to Liu Li's family, and she knows that Liu Li earns more money and can eat meat more often.

But later she found out that Liu Li's job didn't seem to work out. If she followed her family to eat, she would probably go hungry for nine meals out of three days.

It was at this time that Yi Zhonghai came to the door himself.

There was no reason for the deaf old lady to let go. After weighing the pros and cons, she decisively sold Liu Li.

He also personally made a plan for Yi Zhonghai to divide up Liu Li's house and property.

If it weren't for Chen Guoliang's antics that ruined the plan.

I think Yi Zhonghai wouldn't be disgusted with her just because she ate some meat!
