Siheyuan: The Cellar

Yi Zhonghai slowly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Where the hell did my mother come from?

"What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard?"

"Hey, Master Yi, don't worry about these details! And I'm not wrong. Aren't you going to take care of the deaf old lady in the backyard? Isn't she your mother?

Now that he's gone, shouldn't I inform you first?"

Yi Zhonghai, who was originally furious, suddenly calmed down when he heard that the deaf old lady had died.

It's retribution, retribution. The old rogue, the old bandit is dead.

Then her house will be mine.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to argue with Chen Guoliang anymore and hurried to the backyard.

"Master Yi, you go first! I still have to notify the neighbors in the front yard! The deaf old lady is your mother, and we are all neighbors, so we must be there."

Aunt Gao Huilan always felt that there was something wrong with what Chen Guoliang said. But seeing Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard, she was too lazy to ask any more questions and followed her man's footsteps.

"Someone come, Yi Zhonghai's horse is gone. Everyone, go and see!"

.......................

After Chen Guoliang notified Yan Bugui and others in the front yard and led a large group of people to the backyard to help, he had just stepped into the backyard.

Everyone heard Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"The old lady just fell asleep. Chen Guoliang, that bastard, is talking nonsense. Let's all go away!"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Xu Fugui's voice rang out.

"Old Yi, do you believe what you said? Who would lie on the ground and sleep like a good person? Why don't you help him up and check where he is injured?"

Chen Guoliang walked through the crowd and came to the front. At this time, the light in the deaf old lady's room had been turned on.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Chen Guoliang was still shocked by the scene before him.

The deaf old lady had her pants half pulled up and was now sleeping quietly on the ground.

Half of his face was lying in a small puddle.

As for where the puddle in the house came from, Chen Guoliang didn't know.

At this time, everyone in the yard formed a semicircle a few meters away from the door of the deaf old lady's house.

Yi Zhonghai was squatting beside the doorstep and hiccuping.

"Okay, Lao Xu, let's stop arguing. Isn't Doctor Liu here? It would be best to let her do the check. After all, she is a professional. People like us don't understand, so don't be so kind as to make things worse."

Yi Zhonghai saw that everyone was looking at him and thought it would not be a good idea to let the deaf old lady lie on the ground.

But when he was asked to carry someone to the hospital for a check-up, he felt sick.

The point is that just now when he heard Chen Guoliang's words and came over and saw everyone gathered here, he thought everyone was going to rob the deaf old lady's things.

In a rage, the curses were very unpleasant.

But when he got closer, he found that things didn't seem simple.

After seeing the scene inside the house clearly, Yi Zhonghai wanted to slap himself twice.

Why are you speaking so quickly? Don’t you know to confirm it first?

But the words were already spoken, and now he was putting himself in danger.

In the end, he could only lie with his eyes open, saying that the deaf old lady had fallen asleep. At least this way he didn't have to be helped up.

If he died because of this, it didn't matter. Everyone was watching, so who could blame him?

Although Liu Li had never seen such a scene, as a doctor, she naturally took the lead.

But this time, just as you took a step forward, you were stopped by Chen Guoliang again.

"I think what Master Yi said is right. Professionals should do this kind of professional work. The problem is that my mother is not a professional at this either!

If this goes wrong, what will happen in the end?

Master Yi, I think you have to do this yourself. After all, she is your mother. You don't even care about your own mother, you are unfilial!"

As soon as Chen Guoliang finished speaking, everyone in the courtyard started talking.

But the topic of discussion is somewhat off the mark.

"Is the deaf old lady Master Yi's mother? How come I don't know?"

"Yeah, I don't know either. Then why don't they recognize each other?"

"Maybe it was only recently that I discovered that they are related."

"Well, to be honest, I've always thought they look alike. I just never dared to say it."

Yi Zhonghai listened to the discussion going off the track, and his face turned black and purple.

"Chen Guoliang, what nonsense are you talking about? My mother? My mother died a long time ago. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Ah, isn't it? But didn't you call a meeting some time ago and say you wanted to provide for the old lady?

Isn't this a manifestation of the mother-son relationship? Just like me, I will provide for my mother in her old age!"

As he spoke, Chen Guoliang pretended to be innocent and turned to Liu Li and asked, "Mom, can I provide for someone else's old age even if we are not related by blood?"

"Xiao Chen, Uncle Xu is telling you something. Normally, our sons take care of us in our old age. But the deaf old lady has no sons. So she can only ask other people's sons to help her in her old age.

So, what you said is not wrong. There is nothing wrong with saying that the old lady is his mother.

Your Uncle Yi is a good man! You should listen to your Uncle Yi's teachings more in the future. Be a good person, too, okay?"

When Xu Fugui heard Chen Guoliang asking such an interesting question, he couldn't help himself.

You, Yi Zhonghai, scolded me just now, and I'm going to make you sick to death.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Uncle Xu. If I listen to Master Yi in the future, will Master Yi also take care of me when I am old?"

Chen Guoliang still pretended to be confused. But these words made Xu Fugui completely confused.

How old are you? How old is Yi Zhonghai? Are you treating him like an old turtle?

Liu Li's mouth twitched when she heard Chen Guoliang's words. If she hadn't been concerned about the large crowd, she would have really pinned Chen Guoliang to the ground and beat him up.

This guy really deserves it!

But he could only say awkwardly: "The child is still young, so he can say whatever he wants. Please forgive me, everyone."

Just when Yi Zhonghai was about to be angered by Xu Fugui and Chen Guoliang's singing of the same tune.

Someone suddenly said, "Hey, the old lady seems to have moved."

The crowd finally ended the extremely explosive topic of elderly care and turned their attention to the house.

The deaf old lady turned over with great difficulty. Then she said weakly, "Zhong Hai, please take me to the hospital. The old lady is dying."

In this regard, Yi Zhonghai could only smile bitterly.

The double act of Chen Guoliang and Xu Fugui just now was a fatal blow to him. Elderly care is to support one's own parents. How can it be considered as supporting others?

Didn’t you see that the expressions of his apprentice and Sha Zhu changed after hearing what the two said?

If I don't set an example now, I'm afraid the flame of respecting and treating the elderly well in this courtyard will be extinguished.

If everyone only takes care of their own parents in the future, then who will take care of him?

Others have sons to take care of them in their old age, but he doesn’t!

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Yi Zhonghai could only endure the nausea and carry the deaf old lady on his back and go outside.
