Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

After the deaf old lady dragged her slightly tired body slowly back to the house, she found it difficult to calm her inner restlessness and anxiety, let alone fall asleep peacefully or take a short rest. Even if she just sat quietly on the chair, she could not calm down.

The deaf old lady herself was also very confused. Why couldn't she calm down? This inexplicable confusion was like countless ants gnawing at her heart, which was really unbearable. This strange feeling was something she had never experienced before.

While the deaf old lady was thinking hard, time did not stop for long. Not long after, Aunt Gao came into the deaf old lady's house with a bowl of steaming ginger soup in her hand. When she saw the deaf old lady's ugly face, she could not help but frowned slightly and asked with concern: "Old lady, are you still not feeling well?"

The deaf old lady raised her head and her eyes fell on the concerned lady in front of her. She nodded gently and responded with a slightly worried tone: "Yes, I don't know why, but I have been feeling flustered all day today and it's hard for me to calm down."

After hearing this, Aunt Gao smiled faintly and consoled her, "Old lady, I think you are probably craving the food Zhuzi made for you! Although Zhuzi's legs and feet have not fully recovered yet, it should be no problem for him to cook a delicious meal for you, old lady.

"After drinking this bowl of ginger soup, you can rest peacefully in bed. I will go and greet Zhuzi and ask him to prepare a meal for you. When you wake up, you can immediately taste the delicious food cooked by Zhuzi!" Aunt Gao handed the ginger soup to the deaf old lady.

After the deaf old lady heard what Aunt Gao said, her heart, which had been restless because of certain things and as rough as the sea, gradually calmed down, just like the surging waves finally receding slowly.

She stretched out her hand tremblingly and took the bowl of steaming ginger soup carefully handed over by Aunt Gao. Holding the bowl, the deaf old lady raised her lips slightly, revealing a gratified smile. At this moment, she thought to herself: "After a short rest, I can taste the delicious food made by Sha Zhuzi himself!" When she thought of this, the smile on the deaf old lady's face became even deeper.

However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. No one would have expected that the deaf old lady would not be able to enjoy the sumptuous meal prepared by Sha Zhu, which should have been a feast for her. It was as if an invisible force in the dark mercilessly took this beauty away from her...

No, it’s not an invisible force, but the power that comes from Ye Fan.

Aunt Gao walked out of the dim house of the deaf old lady with heavy steps. The amiable and warm smile on her face seemed to be swept away by a sudden cold wind, disappearing without a trace in an instant, replaced by an indescribable solemnity and worry.

The exhaustion and pressure in her heart were like a heavy mountain, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. And the source of all this was Yi Zhonghai - the once strong and reliable man, who seemed to have become a different person since he lost his male function. He became extremely moody, and his mood was as unpredictable as the weather in June. Sometimes, he would suddenly let out a sinister sneer that was creepy; at other times, he would look gloomy and snort coldly, and his cold eyes seemed to penetrate people's souls.

All these changes were seen by Aunt Gao. She endured it all silently, trying to understand and tolerate Zhonghai's pain, but she could not get rid of the deep fear and anxiety in her heart. This constant state of tension had begun to gradually erode her spirit and body.

With a lot on her mind, Auntie Gao unknowingly walked to the front of Sha Zhu's house. Sha Zhu, who was sitting there in a daze, stood up immediately as if by reflex when he saw Gao's figure, with a simple smile on his face, and said with a chuckle: "Auntie, why are you here? If you have anything to say, just call me!"

Aunt Gao looked at the smiling and honest Sha Zhu in front of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She smiled and replied: "Zhu Zi, I just want to see if your leg injury has healed. By the way, can you help me cook dinner?"

After hearing what Aunt Gao said, Sha Zhu hurriedly responded: "Oh, cooking a meal for an old lady is no big deal! Look, I don't even need a cane. Although I still have a slight limp when I walk, there is absolutely no problem cooking a meal!" He patted his chest and made the assurance as he spoke, with a confident smile on his face.

Aunt Gao, who was standing there, stared at the slightly crooked Sha Zhu in front of her, with a look of worry and concern. She asked again, "Zhu Zi, are you sure you're okay?" Her tone was full of worry.

Sha Zhu nodded vigorously and answered firmly: "Hey, Auntie, I'm fine! Nothing happened. If you don't believe me, I'll jump around here a few times for you to see." Before he finished speaking, he was ready to jump up.

Seeing this, Auntie Gao hurriedly reached out and grabbed Sha Zhu, and shouted anxiously: "Okay, Zhuzi, Auntie believes in you, isn't it enough that Auntie believes in you! Stop messing around." While holding Sha Zhu tightly, she kept shaking her head and sighing.

Looking at Sha Zhu like this, Aunt Gao couldn't help but feel helpless. Sha Zhu is always like this, as if he will never grow up, just like an innocent child. However, it is precisely because of this innocence and straightforwardness that Aunt Gao likes Sha Zhu so much. Otherwise, why would she keep telling Yi Zhonghai that she would rely on Sha Zhu to take care of her and her husband in the future?

After talking to Sha Zhu, Aunt Gao left Sha Zhu's house. When she saw her own home, she felt a little reluctant to go back.

Because she didn't know how to face the current Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, He Yushui came out of his room and looked at Aunt Gao and asked, "Aunt Gao, did you just come out of my brother's room?"

Aunt Gao turned her head and looked at He Yushui, forcing a smile and said, "Yushui! Well, I just came out of your brother's room and asked your brother if he could cook a meal for the old lady. The old lady is greedy."

He Yushui snorted in her heart after hearing what Aunt Gao said, but she still smiled and said, "Of course I can, Aunt Gao, you should go back and wait! I'll call you when my brother has finished cooking."
