Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

The next morning, in the middle courtyard, Yi's family.

Just as the sky was getting light, an old lady named Tian Guixiang suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and quietly searched for something in her husband's clothes.

Soon, Tian Guixiang found a stack of money, which was the money she gave to her husband yesterday. She didn't have time to count it and put the money directly in her pocket.

Then, the aunt got up and tiptoed out.

It was not until the moment she closed the door that she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked back with her bloodshot, red and swollen eyes, spat, gritted her teeth and cursed in a low voice:

"Now let's see how you two, a pair of dogs, can continue to flirt with each other!?"

After Han Li provided an idea yesterday, Tian Guixiang began to awaken and became more inclined to a possibility she had never thought of: it was Yi Zhonghai who was infertile, not her!

She thought it was her own fault that she couldn't have a child, and she always felt sorry for her husband for this. She endured it in the Yi family and became a nanny who obeyed her husband in everything.

Even when faced with her husband having an affair with another woman, she could only swallow her anger and cover up for the couple.

It was not until yesterday that she suddenly realized that it might not be her problem or her fault that she could not have a child!

So, at this moment, all the grievances, accusations and insults that I had suffered during these years of marriage came flooding into my heart like a volcano erupting.

Especially last night, that pair of dogs got together again. This deeply hurt Tian Guixiang's already broken heart and made her feel like she was about to suffocate.

Finally, in order to stop enduring this humiliation and not to be so angry that she felt short of breath, she resolutely decided to escape, so that those two dogs could not continue to mess around so blatantly.

You know, during the long night, Tian Guixiang had the idea of ​​quitting many times, but when she thought that she was not wrong but still suffered such a great injustice, she was very unwilling to accept it.

Why? Why am I always the one who gets hurt even though I am not the one who made the mistake?!

What's more, if he really died in such a cowardly way, wouldn't it just make room for that couple of dogs!

In the end, Tian Guixiang decided to follow the doctor's advice and escape from this suffocating place to relax and relieve her depression.

When leaving Courtyard No. 95, Tian Guixiang suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief, as if the heavy burden on her back had been lifted, or as if the shackles on her body had been untied.

After arriving at the street, Tian Guixiang went straight to a steamed buns shop and said generously: "Give me three meat buns and a bowl of bean juice!"

She didn't eat much yesterday and was starving now. How could she treat herself badly?

What's more, half of the money given to Yi Zhonghai yesterday has already been spent. This bastard spends so much money in a day, so what does it matter if she eats a few buns!

After eating and drinking, Tian Guixiang went to buy some candy and food and walked towards the station.

No. 95 Siheyuan.

When Yi Zhonghai woke up, he felt hungry and called out in a daze, "Is the meal ready?"

Not hearing any response, nor smelling any breakfast, Yi Wanhua's heart sank and he sat up suddenly with startle, having a very bad feeling.

When he got home from get off work yesterday, he felt that his wife was acting a little strange and hardly spoke a word, but he didn't take it seriously and just thought she was expressing her protest in this way.

However, at this moment Yi Yinbi thought of an extremely serious problem. If his wife could not bear the consequences and committed suicide, the good reputation he had painstakingly accumulated would collapse in an instant.

Immediately, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly got up and searched the house, but fortunately it was not there.

"I guess I'm overthinking it. How could that useless woman commit suicide?"

Yi Zhonghai curled his lips with disdain, but after seeing the cold stove, he couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"You haven't cooked yet at this hour. Are you trying to be disrespectful to me? Do you really think I can't live without you? "

Because he had money in his pocket, Yi Wanhua was not panicked at all. He was still thinking that he was very tired from the work last night and he would go have a bowl of fried liver to replenish his energy later.

Thinking of the money, Yi Yinbi suddenly turned around and looked at the bed, then ran over quickly and hurriedly searched for the money in his clothes.

However, after searching his clothes inside and out and everywhere under the bed, he couldn't find any trace of money.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai felt like he was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze and took a long time to recover.

But he understood one thing clearly: the useless woman ran away with the money!

Yi Wanhua was so angry that he wanted to catch the woman who couldn't lay eggs and give her a severe lesson immediately.

But he also knew very well that such a shameful thing must not be made public, otherwise he, as an old man, would become the laughing stock of the people in the courtyard, or even the entire alley.

Once the news that "my daughter-in-law ran away with the money" spreads, all kinds of outrageous speculations will soon arise.

For example, why did his wife run away? Was she wronged or was she seduced by another man?

When that time really comes, even if Yi Wanhua had ten mouths, he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly.

After calming down, Yi Zhonghai pretended as if nothing had happened and continued doing what he was doing.

Whenever someone asked about his wife, he would respond with a frank smile: "My wife said that her parents came to her in a dream last night, saying that her eldest brother was not in good health. So she went back to her parents' home early this morning."

This reason is sufficient and no one doubts it.

So, the story of the disappearance of an old lady was revealed.

Front yard, east wing.

After breakfast, Han Li began to assign tasks to the Lin brothers and sisters: "Yong'an, you continue to copy new words later. Yongping, you and Xiaoxiao recite poems. I will take you out for a walk when I am free."

The reason why the Lin brothers and sisters were allowed to come to the city was not to enjoy themselves, but mainly to teach Lin Yongan medical skills, and at the same time the brothers and sisters' studies could not be left behind.

With two younger brothers, the elementary school bully He Yushui, and Han Li teaching by the side, the study conditions here are much better than in the countryside.

At this moment, Lao Xu's pretentious voice sounded outside the door: "Han Li, come out for a moment, I have something to talk to you about."

"I'm coming." Han Li responded casually, but he couldn't help wondering in his heart. It was no good when Xu Damao came last night, so he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Old Xu to come this time?

After going out and seeing Xu Wude, Han Li smiled politely and greeted him: "Uncle Xu."

Xu Wood seemed not to hear it and looked at the east wing.

Han Li walked up to him and asked directly, "Uncle Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xu Wood's tone was completely devoid of enthusiasm, and he asked in a strange tone: "Han Li, are you planning to buy this east wing?"

The person who came here didn't have good intentions! You know, when the two of them got along well before, Lao Xu always called Xiao Han, but now this name seems much more distant.

Han Li smiled bitterly and said, "Well, how can my family afford to buy a house?"

"If I hadn't seen that you already had a bicycle, I would have thought that you must have made a lot of money recently, and buying a house would be within your reach."

When Lao Xu said "I've made a lot of money", he deliberately emphasized his tone, looked around the east wing, and said slowly:

"My son Damao is almost old enough to get married. My house only has two rooms, which is obviously not enough. I am thinking of buying two more. Among the unowned houses in the courtyard, the two in the east wing are the best."

After saying that, Lao Xu lowered his gaze and looked at Han Li indifferently: "So, do you understand what I mean?"

I used the purchase of the east wing and the ear room in the front yard to pressure Han Li, meaning, if I can let your family move from the outer yard to the front yard, I can also let your family move from the front yard back to the outer yard!

In Xu Wude's opinion, if he had not sold the precious ginseng to help the old Han family, the family of six would still be squeezed in the two back rooms in the outer courtyard!

Lao Xu patted Han Li's shoulder, smiled helplessly and said, "Han Li, I hope you can understand my difficulties."

Worried that Han Li didn't understand what he meant, Xu Wude sighed again:

"I also want to buy a better house, but unfortunately the money I have can barely afford the house in our yard! Think about this matter carefully. If you can't figure it out, we can talk about it when I get back from get off work."

Watching Xu Wude's figure quickly disappear at the door, Han Li sneered and murmured to himself: "There are really no eternal friends, only eternal interests!"

After sighing, Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression turned stern: "Since you don't like me, I have no choice but to ask you to move out!"
