Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

In the large room in the middle of the backyard, the deaf old woman looked at the timid little girl in front of her with gentle eyes, and carefully brushed away the broken leaves stuck in her hair.

"Xiaofeng, don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on."

There are many orphans who have lost their parents these days, but healthy boys are usually adopted early.

The deaf old lady stayed in the orphanage for a long time before finally taking Xiaofeng home.

Xiaofeng is pale and thin, with a frail body. Although he is already eight years old this year, he looks like a five or six-year-old child. He seems so fragile that he would fall down if the wind blew.

The deaf old lady did not dislike Xiaofeng's frailty. As a lonely old woman, she was lucky to have a companion.

Besides, I just sold the jade pendant a few days ago and made some money.

With more than 2,000 yuan in her hand, the deaf old lady is confident that she can raise Xiaofeng into a strong and good child.

Even if she died suddenly a few years later, the money she left behind would be enough for Xiaofeng to support herself until adulthood.

This way there will be no worries.

"Mother-in-law..."

Xiaofeng was still a little uncomfortable with the new environment and was a little afraid of the deaf old lady.

"Don't call her mother-in-law, call her grandma.

From now on you are my granddaughter and I am your grandmother.

Let's live a good life together, okay?"

The deaf old lady squatted down, smiled and spoke softly.

The deaf old lady is quite old and has rich experience, but she has never given birth to a child, let alone any experience in taking care of a child.

Facing the little girl in front of her, she was a little unsure.

"Milk...grandma..."

Xiaofeng didn't dare to resist and obediently called her grandma.

The deaf old lady was overjoyed when she heard this and took out a candy from her pocket and handed it to Xiaofeng.

"My dear granddaughter, can grandma give you some candy?"

Xiaofeng did not take the candy immediately, but looked at the deaf old lady in disbelief.

"For me?"

Xiaofeng certainly doesn’t dislike candy. In that era when people could not even get enough food, candy was the luxury that children desired most.

However, when she was in the orphanage, Xiaofeng was often bullied by other children because she was thin.

Even when the orphanage occasionally distributed candies, she could only watch others enjoy them, and at most lick the candy wrapper afterwards to taste the flavor.

She really didn't expect that she would be able to eat candy on the first day she returned home with the deaf old lady.

“Well, for you.

You are grandma's good granddaughter, grandma will love you in the future."

The deaf old lady rubbed Xiaofeng's head and nodded.

"Thank you grandma."

Xiaofeng's eyes were a little moist. She bowed solemnly to the deaf old lady before taking the candy with both hands.

Seeing Xiaofeng being so polite, the deaf old lady was even more satisfied.

He is so sensible at such a young age. He will definitely be a filial child when he grows up.

By then, the deaf old lady won’t have to worry about her retirement anymore.

The grandparents and grandchildren were getting along harmoniously when the door was suddenly pushed open.

A tall man with a fierce look appeared at the door, and immediately scared Xiaofeng who was holding the candy.

The frightened Xiaofeng swayed and subconsciously shrank behind the deaf old lady, only sticking out her little head to look at the door.

“You are so rude, you come in without knocking first.

Can you afford to scare my granddaughter?"

The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane, shouted at Liu Haizhong at the door.

As the oldest and most senior elder in the courtyard, the deaf old lady is not afraid of anyone, not even the manager.

Liu Haizhong was scolded as soon as he entered the door. He felt very embarrassed and wanted to get angry and fight back, but when he saw the cane in the deaf old lady's hand, he could only remain silent.

It’s not that Liu Haizhong was afraid of the deaf old lady, but he saw that she was old and was afraid that if she started to hurt him, something would happen and it would be difficult to clean up.

"old lady……"

As soon as Liu Haizhong opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the deaf old lady's harsh voice.

“Go out, knock and come back in.

You’re such an adult, haven’t your parents and teachers taught you this?

Do you know how to be polite? "

Liu Haizhong became more and more annoyed. He gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Finally, he forced himself to calm down, walked out of the door, knocked on it a few times, and turned back.

"Liu Haizhong, what are you doing here?

If you have nothing to do, go back quickly and don't get in the way here.

I am busy taking care of my granddaughter."

Liu Haizhong was about to speak, but unexpectedly the deaf old lady took the initiative again.

She held her breath in her chest, and her face flushed red through her bangs. She pointed at Xiaofeng with gritted teeth and said, "Deaf old lady, I just want to tell you about her."

“I’ve already told Yi Zhonghai.

There is nothing more for you to do, you can go now. "

The deaf old lady waved her hand, as if to see the guest off.

The perfunctory attitude once again made Liu Haizhong furious.

Liu Haizhong only realized at this moment how annoying this old woman was. At the same time, he became more and more determined to teach her a lesson.

If we don't teach this bitch a lesson, she will really think she is the ancestor.

"Deaf old lady, the neighbors are against you adopting this child, so you should send her back as soon as possible."

Liu Haizhong's harsh tone, resolute attitude, and ferocious look immediately frightened Xiaofeng, who was standing behind the deaf old lady, into trembling with fear.

Feeling the child's strangeness, the deaf old lady quickly turned around and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, Xiaofeng, your grandma is here, no one can send you away. Don't worry..."

After comforting her little granddaughter, the deaf old lady turned around and glared at Liu Haizhong.

"Liu Haizhong, get out of here right now!

I have completed all the procedures for adopting a child. The orphanage, the street office, and even Director Cheng have no objection. Who do you think you are to speak so brazenly and talk nonsense here?

Get out, get out now!"

The deaf old lady raised her cane and pointed towards the door, not giving Liu Haizhong, the manager, any face at all.

“Deaf old lady, I respect your age and don’t want to argue with you.

But I advise you not to take advantage of your age.

It was the decision of the hospital to send the child back. We have to send him back no matter what. We have to send him back no matter what!"

Liu Haizhong has suffered repeated setbacks since he entered the house. Now the deaf old lady is so arrogant, how can he tolerate it.

"I won't send you off, let's see what you can do.

Liu Haizhong, if you dare to attack me today, I will kill myself here.

Let’s see how you explain it to the police!”

The deaf old lady was also very angry, waving her cane as if she was ready to fight to the death.

The deaf old lady was getting along well with her granddaughter at home, but Liu Haizhong suddenly broke into the house and insisted on sending Xiaofeng away. It was simply unreasonable.

"Ah……"

Liu Haizhong's eyes were bloodshot, he looked around with red eyes, and his teeth made a chattering sound.

The last bit of rationality reminded Liu Haizhong that if he really started fighting, no matter what the result was, he would not have a good ending.

The deaf old lady only has a few years left, and you can ignore her when she goes crazy. But Liu Haizhong is different. He still has decades of good life ahead of him, and he is lucky to have a wife and son.

It's not worth it to fight to the death with a crazy woman.

But Liu Haizhong was so angry at the deaf old lady for humiliating him that he refused to bow his head, so he just stood there, pretending to scare people.

The meaning is very clear. He just hopes that the deaf old lady will be sensible and give him a way out, so that both parties will not end up in a bad situation.
