Siheyuan: I have a mental illness

Courtyard No. 95 seemed particularly deserted at the moment, in stark contrast to the lively scene in the past. Because no one in the Jia family was at home, the entire courtyard seemed to have lost its vitality.

Yi Zhonghai sat alone in the house, staring at the door. When he saw Aunt Gao coming back, he felt an indescribable annoyance in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He asked in an emotionless voice, "Is the old lady okay?"

Aunt Gao walked up to Yi Zhonghai, nodded slightly, and replied: "It's nothing, maybe she's just greedy. I've asked her to drink some ginger soup and rest for a while. In the evening, I'll ask Zhuzi to cook her her favorite meal. I think the old lady's complexion will be much better by then."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded his head to show his approval. After all, he knew that the old deaf lady was greedy. Although she was not as greedy as Jia Zhangshi, she was almost as greedy.

Time passed quietly, and Jia Zhang finally returned to the courtyard. However, after staying for a while, she left in a hurry. Jia Huzi left earlier than Jia Zhang.

So, what on earth are they busy doing? Hehe, perhaps only a deaf old lady can personally experience the unpredictable and sinister nature of human hearts in this world!

Night fell quietly, and the whole courtyard was immersed in tranquility. At this time, Sha Zhu was busy in his kitchen preparing dinner for He Yushui and the deaf old lady. He cut and cooked vegetables skillfully, and every move seemed so handy.

He Yushui, who was standing by, stared at Sha Zhu quietly, with a faint smile on her face, but her eyes revealed a trace of unspeakable worry. She stood there silently, as if she was lost in thought, without saying a word.

Sha Zhu noticed his sister's strange behavior, turned around, and said to her with a smile: "Sister, what's wrong with you? You are so absorbed in your thoughts and you don't even talk to your brother." His tone was full of concern and curiosity.

When He Yushui heard her brother's question, she raised her head, forced a smile, and replied softly: "Brother, I just want to watch you cook." However, what she really thought in her heart was far from that simple.

In fact, when He Yushui learned that he had to cook for the deaf old lady, he felt dissatisfied because the old lady neither provided any ingredients nor came to help, but just gave orders. But their family had to take out those precious foods that they were reluctant to eat to cook for the deaf old lady.

Despite this, He Yushui chose to bury this dissatisfaction deep in his heart and try not to show it. After all, Sha Zhu has always been the kind of person who loves the Leshan Giant Buddha. If he expresses his thoughts directly, it might hurt his heart that is like the Leshan Giant Buddha.

Sha Zhu didn't realize his sister's true feelings, but was very proud and confident of his cooking skills. He laughed and said to He Yushui: "Sister, look, even though I've been lying in bed for more than a month, my cooking skills haven't declined at all!" After that, he didn't forget to show her the dish he was frying, and the tempting aroma immediately spread.

He Yushui looked at the excited Sha Zhu in front of her, and she couldn't help but feel sad. She smiled bitterly and thought to herself: "What a fool! In your heart, is it that only the deaf old lady is worthy of your careful treatment? Why don't you take the initiative to cook a sumptuous meal for me?" But these thoughts can only be hidden deep in her heart. She knew that no matter what, it is impossible to wake up a fool who pretends to be asleep. So, she forced herself to cheer up and echoed Sha Zhu, saying: "Yes, brother, your cooking skills are great! I believe the old lady will have a very happy meal tonight."

After hearing what his sister He Yushui said, Sha Zhu did not feel anything unusual, but said very proudly: "That's right, your brother's craftsmanship is not exaggerated."

He Yushui smiled coldly and said softly, "Brother, go do your thing! I feel a little unwell and want to go back to the house to rest for a while."

When Sha Zhu heard this, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of worry. He quickly asked, "Are you okay, girl? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Is it serious?"

He Yushui gently shook her head, indicating that it was nothing serious, and explained: "I just got up too early this morning, and I'm a little tired. I should be able to recover after lying down for a while." Before she finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and then added: "Oh, by the way, brother, I have something to tell you. It seems that our school is short of teaching assistants recently, and I may have to go to school for an internship in the next period of time. Therefore, starting tomorrow, I have to report to the school. I'm afraid that my family will not be able to help take care of it."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu showed an indifferent expression on his face and responded carelessly: "Sister, you can go without worry! Your brother is fine, and I don't need you to take care of me all the time." After that, he continued to concentrate on cooking, seemingly unaware of He Yushui's complicated mood at the moment.

He Yushui silently watched her brother who was only busy cooking and didn't care about her going to school. She couldn't help but feel an indescribable pain in her heart. She originally thought that her brother would at least ask a few more questions about her internship at school, such as what she needed to prepare, or why she decided to go to school so hastily, etc. However, the reality disappointed her greatly. Sha Zhu didn't even say a simple word of concern.

Although He Yushui knew very well that this situation was expected, he still couldn't suppress the slight sense of loss and sadness in his heart. After all, family members should have more care and consideration, but now this expectation has turned into a bubble, how can people not feel heartbroken?

Just when Sha Zhu finished preparing the meal, Jia Huzi, Director Wang and two people from the street office arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

On the other side, Jia Zhang was also on her way to the courtyard with several police officers, including Han Yuying and her master Fang Haoran.

Director Wang stood in front of the door of Courtyard No. 95, with a barely perceptible hint of doubt in her eyes, because what Jia Huzi told her was too horrifying?

You know, if what Jia Huzi said was true, she, the director of the street office, would also be implicated.

Director Wang looked at Jia Huzi, his face serious and solemn, and asked: "Jia Huzi, I will ask you one last time, you can't talk about this kind of thing casually, you'd better think it over carefully.

If we don’t find out what you said, do you know what the consequences will be for you?”

Jia Huzi looked at Director Wang, who had a serious face, nodded firmly, and said, "Director Wang, I really saw it with my own eyes. I definitely did not lie to you."
