Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

The box held by the deaf old lady was a dressing box commonly used by women during the Republic of China.

It is usually a place where women put some jewelry and watercolor rouge.

There must be a few bats on the surface of the box. I don’t know when this thing has represented blessing.

The surface was already swollen to the touch. It can be imagined that for countless days and nights, the deaf old lady had to hug this thing to sleep.

The deaf old lady opened the lid of the box in front of Li Yun. This thing was not one layer, but had several layers like a drawer, and the deaf old lady showed Li Yun only the top layer.

On the upper floor, in addition to a small stack of bundled tickets, there were also a few small items wrapped in handkerchiefs.

Li Yun heard from Yi Zhonghai that this old lady was the widow of a small businessman. It turned out that after the small businessman died, the old lady had no other income and could only make a living by selling the goods.

As for the reason why Yi Zhonghai wanted to take care of the deaf old lady, Li Yun didn't know clearly.

According to Li Yun's idea, the two families are not related, so if there is something delicious, they will give each other a bite, but if there is nothing delicious, each family will have their own meal, so there is no need to serve them like ancestors.

But this idea did not pass Yi Zhonghai. According to Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady had something in her hand that could save the couple's lives.

Li Yun didn't take it seriously at first, until that day Si Zhu and his sister broke into Yi's house, asked Yi Zhonghai for the money that He Daqing had sent back over the years, and beat Yi Zhonghai.

Li Yun thought his family was doomed if the Shazhu brothers and sisters sent Yi Zhonghai in. So it is conceivable that even if she can survive in these days, as a woman with no income, she will not live well.

But I didn't expect that after the quarrel between the Silly Zhu brothers and sisters, there was no follow-up.

Yi Zhonghai said that this was because the deaf old lady had something to protect their lives.

After that day, Li Yun was kind to the deaf old lady for a few days.

But this is the case. If the biological parents are no longer able to make money, don't expect their children to be filial.

What's more, Li Yun is an outsider?

~~~····

Li Yun thought that the deaf old lady wanted to get her some food stamps or something, but he didn't expect that the deaf old lady didn't.

Instead, he took out something wrapped in a smaller handkerchief, with a pained expression on his face, and carefully opened it layer by layer.

When a flash of golden color appeared in front of Li Yun, Li Yun couldn't help but breathe quickly.

This color, this look, is something that women like.

Sure enough, when the deaf old lady opened all her handkerchiefs. What was displayed in front of Li Yun was a pair of magnificent earrings.

It’s not that big, but the shape is beautiful.

But it’s not something Li Yun, who comes from a small family, can see often.

The deaf old lady felt a rare sadness. She looked at the earrings and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, the deaf old lady put all the handkerchiefs and gold earrings into Li Yun's hands.

Li Yun couldn't help but shrink back as if his hand was hot.

The deaf old lady smiled, took Li Yun's hand again, and forced something into Li Yun's hand.

The deaf old lady said softly: "Yun, old lady, I have no children. You and your wife are the only ones in the yard who treat me as an elder and serve me every day."

Old lady, I am not a heartless person. I have always treated you as my own daughter. Old lady, let me tell you the truth, as long as you and your wife take good care of me, after a hundred years, these things will..."

The deaf old lady patted the dressing box gently and continued: "...These things are all yours."

Without waiting for Li Yun to answer, the deaf old lady placed the small stack of tickets in Li Yun's hand.

The deaf old lady said: "The emperor does not need hungry soldiers, these are considered as the food expenses paid by my old lady."

Li Yun's words were confused, and her thoughts were all about the gold earrings.

Li Yun said: "Mom, you will be my biological mother from now on. Don't worry, Zhong Hai and I will take good care of you from now on."

The deaf old lady also smiled kindly, showing deep love between mother and daughter!

Coming out of the backyard, Li Yun held the handkerchief tightly with one hand, as if he was afraid of dropping it halfway.

In just a few dozen steps, Li Yun felt more worried than before.

This is a considerable burden for Li Yun, who has a poor heart.

After entering the house, Li Yun quickly locked the doors and windows, not caring about Yi Zhonghai's stunned look.

After everything was done, he took out the handkerchief and opened it in front of Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at a pair of earrings and said with an inexplicable expression: "The old lady gave them to you."

Li Yun said with blurred eyes and joy: "Well, the old lady also said that those things will be mine from now on. By the way, there are also these..."

After that, Li Yun took out the various tickets given to her by the deaf old lady from his pocket and placed them in front of Yi Zhonghai. Then he continued to play with the earrings in front of him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the golden earrings and sneered, and said, "The old lady is just laying bait."

Li Yun raised his head in confusion and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Yi Zhonghai pointed at the earrings with the chopsticks in his hand and said with a smile: "Isn't this just bait? It's holding us and my wife to be filial to her."

"But, but the old lady said that all those things will belong to us from now on? There are quite a few of them." Li Yun said in confusion.

Yi Zhonghai was not in a hurry to answer, but took a mouthful of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth, took another bite of the white flour bun and said, "Then did you see what those other things are?"

Li Yun shook his head, and then asked as if he understood: "You said the old lady's things were an empty city strategy?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but if the old lady really treats us as her children.

At this time, it’s time to hand over the grain book to our family, and those things should be shown in front of you.

She is like this just because life is difficult now. I thought that we should take care of our family first and get through this period of time.

When things get better in the future, what will happen?

The old lady is not a generous person. "

"Ah?" Li Yun was shocked by what Yi Zhonghai said, and asked again: "Then, head of the family, how should we treat her in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai paused after hearing this, forgetting to chew the food in his mouth. He thought for a moment before sighing: "From now on, let's make her a meal of white flour steamed buns every now and then! We can't really make the old lady feel cold. That's what the He family did Boss, we still need the old lady to keep us safe."

Li Yun became curious after hearing this and asked: "Master, you keep saying that the old lady has something in the He family. What is it?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said: "I don't know, but back then I planned for He Daqing to elope with the widow. He Daqing must have figured it out and took the opportunity to run away.

He was just afraid that the thing in the old lady's hand would harm him.

Before leaving, He Daqing prepared everything, arranged work for Shazhu, sent me money, and took the house deed with him.

Except that I didn't figure out that it was me who plotted against him, everything else was arranged perfectly. "
