When they reached the front door of the courtyard house, the cries were already very clear.
Yi Guoqu vaguely heard,'Dongxu, my poor Dongxu!'
His voice was hoarse and full of grief and pain.
This was the sorrowful cry of an old woman. Yi Guoqu felt some sympathy in his heart, but he also felt a little unlucky.
He had just arrived, and someone had already died in this courtyard.
He braced himself and walked into the courtyard. On the way, Yi Guoqu even saw a dark red blood stain on the dry ground. This made his pupils shrink and he subconsciously avoided the middle.
After passing through the front courtyard, he arrived at the middle courtyard. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, Yi Guoqu saw a group of people gathered in a semicircle in the west wing room and muttering.
The wailing continued. Looking in the direction of the sound, a plump old woman sat cross-legged on the ground.
There were two children squatting on either side of her. On the left was an eight-year-old boy with a bowl cut, and on the other side was a three-year-old girl.
At this moment, Yi Guoqu already knew what was going on. The one crying on the ground now should be Jia Zhangshi, the evil granny who was full of love in the courtyard.
Her original surname was Zhang. After she married into the Jia family, she used her husband's family name first and her own surname second.
In this situation, her son, Jia Dongxu, should have just passed away.
Feeling pity, Yi Guoqu heaved a sigh of relief. Everything should be settled by now.
Fortunately, he didn't run into trouble when he just arrived. Otherwise, he would really have to return to the village and come back after a while.
Not only was it inauspicious, but she might also be said to be a jinx or something. Aunties these days were all idle. No one liked to be nagged all day.
Yi Guoqu turned his gaze and saw the young woman crying silently beside him.
She had a big belly, one hand under her belly, and the other hand wiping the tears that kept flowing from her eyes. Her peach blossom eyes were red from crying, and her nose was a little blurry.
Yi Guoqu looked at her seriously. This was Qin Huairu, the female lead who was in love with Siheyuan.
Her current pitiful appearance indeed made people's hearts ache.
Some people said that she was a vampire. She had been hanging around Silly Zhu for so many years. Not only did she ruin his blind date, but she also delayed him for so many years. Later on, they said that she had been cheated on but did not give birth to a child for him. She was a top-notch green tea.
Yi Guoqu also agreed with this. After all, Qin Huairu was pregnant with a small locust flower. She could not possibly bring the child to undergo an abortion.
That was the ring after giving birth. Perhaps it was because life was too difficult and she did not know when she would be unable to take it and make a mistake. She wanted to be safe in advance.
Perhaps there was some kind of py-deal, and he was afraid of an accident.
Maybe it was because of the three children now, and he didn't want to have any more children after marrying Silly Zhu.
Yi Guoqu did not know the reason either. He decided to investigate it in the future.
It wasn't because he was attracted to her, but mainly because he widened his eyes and observed her for a while. He realized that Qin Huairu indeed had big breasts and a big butt. This kind of woman was easy to raise.
"Ding, the system randomly selected, according to your current behavior, the medical sub-category 'Sight' skill level 1.”
Yi Guoqu's expression froze, and he was delighted. He thought to himself,'System, you really understand me. I'm just that serious. I was seriously studying medicine just now!”
At this moment, a round-faced middle-aged man walked out of the crowd. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a small crew cut. He was the eldest son of this courtyard, Yi Guoqu's eldest son, Yi Zhonghai.
When he walked to the side of the crying woman, he reached out and tugged at the woman's clothes. He said in a deep voice," Old Sister-in-law, the deceased has passed away, and we still have to live our lives. Your wife has been standing here for an hour while she was pregnant.”
Hearing this, Jia Zhang-shi cried even more fiercely. She kept talking about Dongxu, dragging out her voice, and it was impossible to hear what she was shouting after.
Yi Zhonghai rubbed his forehead. The pain of losing a son was the loss of the pillar of the family. He knew that he could not stop Jia Zhangshi now.
He looked at the Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and the Third Uncle Yan Bugui, nodded and shouted," Everyone, quiet down.”
Nowadays, the old man in the courtyard was still very prestigious. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he could check the household registration and determine the personnel to prevent the invasion of enemy funds.
Even now, he could still assist the street office in managing the courtyard house and mediating the conflicts between the neighbors.
When everyone heard his voice, they all fell silent and turned to look at him.
Even Jia Zhang-shi, who was originally crying, lowered her voice a little, but she still couldn't stop sobbing.
Yi Zhonghai did not care about the disturbing noise. He turned around and said to everyone," I'm sure everyone knows about the Jia family's situation. Everyone has done their part before, but the consolation money has not been distributed to the factory yet. Their family doesn't even have a single person who can earn money.”
"Let's not talk about the future, we can't even live like this. We're all from the same courtyard, so let's help each other. I'll start with 20 yuan.”
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai swept his gaze across the crowd. Now that someone had died in the other party's house, there was only a widow left. Jia Dongxu was also his disciple, so he naturally had to take the lead and step forward.
Although 20 yuan was a lot, and even rural women could not earn more than 20 yuan a year, for a level-eight fitter, this money was only a week's salary.
Of course, he did not expect everyone to pay so much. He could only say that he wanted the people in the courtyard to do their best. After all, everyone was poor at this time.
However, when he turned to look at the door, Yi Zhonghai's expression suddenly changed. His body trembled and he quickly walked towards the front yard.
Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, had just gotten into position and cleared his throat to pay when he was confused by Yi Zhonghai's strange actions. What was going on?
He looked up and saw a 1.8-meter-tall man standing on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard.
Dark skin, wild hair, and a strong physique. Liu Haizhong could only force back the words in his mouth and silently mutter in his heart," So strong!”
At the same time, the people in the courtyard began to mutter and ask each other who this was. Why had he never heard of such a tall and strong man?
A middle-aged woman's expression changed and she ignored the questions around her.
Then, her expression calmed down. She had not given birth to a child for Old Yi's family. Now that she was forty-five years old, it was even more impossible for her to have a child.
Although his nephew was a fool, he was still very strong!
Even if it was good or bad, if he could find a wife for him, the old couple might still have the chance to look after their children. After all, people had to make plans for themselves when they were old.
At this moment, the first uncle had already arrived in front of Yi Guoqu. He grabbed his sleeve and wanted to walk in, but he couldn't pull him at all. Then, a loud shout shook his head.
"Grandpa!" Yi Guoqu shouted, his voice as hard as steel.
Yi Zhonghai rubbed his temples. He knew his nephew well. He had been mentally prepared to meet him in the past.
This time, because of the urgency of the matter, he was caught off guard and was shocked again.
He looked outside but did not see anyone else. He could only calm down and appease them first before asking in detail how they came over.
Yi Zhonghai said gently," Guoqu, be good. Come into the house with me."”
Yi Guoqu grinned. Fortunately, he was indeed his boss. He did not call him by his nickname outside. Otherwise, he would be dead.
He stared at Widow Qin and said in a deep voice," I heard what happened earlier. Didn't you donate money? He's your disciple. I heard you tell Dad about him. Although I don't have much, I still have 20 yuan. How about I donate 10 yuan?”
At the same time, Yi Guoqu said in his heart, Although you're dead, I acknowledge you as my brother.'
