Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Chapter 257 The old deaf man is dying

In the evening, the Jia family finished their meal.

Jia Dongxu repeated Yi Zhonghai's words to Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu said anxiously after hearing this:

"No! I don't agree! Dongxu, this is our child. How can you just agree to give our child to someone else?"

"Huai Ru, don't be anxious. I haven't agreed to my master yet."

Seeing Qin Huairu's big reaction, Jia Dongxu explained somewhat embarrassedly.

Although he was very tempted by Yi Zhonghai's proposal, after all, it would mean giving his child away, so Jia Dongxu was somewhat resistant.

"Anyway, I strongly disagree with this. No matter how difficult it is, there is no reason to give the child away."

It's rare for Qin Huairu to be tough at home.

After all, it was me who gave birth to the child after ten months of pregnancy.

When Jia Dongxu heard his wife say this, he thought there was no hope for this matter.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang, who was lying on the bed, suddenly said:

"Dongxu, I don't think this is a bad idea."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu was very surprised.

He originally thought that the biggest obstacle in this matter was his mother.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang was willing to adopt the child to Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu became anxious when she heard her mother-in-law say this.

"Mom! How can you say that? I'm carrying the blood of the Jia family."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and said disdainfully:

"What do you know? Who said I would really give the child to Yi Zhonghai?"

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

Jia Dongxu came over curiously and asked in a low voice.

"Dongxu, since your master who has no descendants wants a son, let's just go along with his wishes. When Huairu is born, she will take his surname.

But this child needs milk after he is born, and Huairu has to do this. This child will be close to whoever feeds him. Anyway, Yi Zhonghai will not be able to take the child back in a few years.

As long as the child is close to us, when Yi Zhonghai dies, we can change the child's last name back to his. In this way, Yi Zhonghai's money, house and even job will all be ours."

Jia Zhang's words made Jia Dongxu's eyes light up.

Yes, when the time comes all we have to do is let the child change his surname back.

Even Qin Huairu who was standing by fell silent.

Although she was still a little reluctant.

But when I thought about the benefits my children would get in the future, I just agreed.

The next day, Jia Dongxu told Yi Zhonghai about this.

Yi Zhonghai was so excited when he heard the news that he almost cried.

He took out twenty yuan and gave it to Jia Dongxu on the spot, and asked him to buy some food for Qin Huairu to nourish her health.

When Jia Dongxu took the money, he suddenly realized that adopting the child to Yi Zhonghai was indeed a good choice.

Didn’t you see that the usually stingy master actually took out twenty yuan and gave it to him?

This money can solve Jia Dongxu's urgent needs.

Because Yi Zhonghai also said that he would give the Jia family 20 yuan every month in the future.

Yi Zhonghai was really worried about this child.

It's a pity that people are not as good as God.

Yi Zhonghai could never have imagined that Qin Huairu would also give birth to a daughter this time.

This baby was even Jia Dongxu's posthumous child.

As the Chinese New Year approached, the old deaf man's health became worse and worse.

You may not even eat one meal a day.

Seeing her condition, Zhao Guilan knew that the old deaf woman didn't have much time left, so she began to prepare funeral clothes for her.

Although Zhao Guilan had been serving the old deaf man, the person he kept muttering was indeed Sha Zhu.

That day, Zhao Guilan came to the backyard with food as usual, but saw the old deaf man sitting on the bed, wearing neat clothes and with his hair combed meticulously.

Seeing the old lady like this, Zhao Guilan's heart skipped a beat.

It is said that people will have a moment of enlightenment before they die.

The old lady usually had difficulty getting up, but now she actually got up and dressed herself.

"Old lady, please eat something."

Zhao Guilan felt bad, as the old lady would probably only live for another day or two.

"Gui Lan, today is Sunday, right?"

"It's Zhou Tian. Zhong Hai is at home. Do you want me to ask him to come over?"

The old deaf man shook his head and continued:

"Please help me call Zhuzi and tell him that I want to see him one last time."

"Old lady, Zhuzi..."

The old deaf man sighed and said:

Zhao: "Go ahead. If he really doesn't want to come, forget it."

"Then I'll give it a try."

Zhao Guilan sighed and walked out.

Arriving at the central courtyard, Zhao Guilan looked at the tightly closed door and hesitated for a moment before knocking on Sha Zhu's door.

When Sha Zhu opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Guilan, he couldn't help but frown.

He didn't have such deep malice towards Zhao Guilan.

But I definitely don't have any good feelings about it.

"Zhu Zi, the old lady is dying. She said she wants to see you before she dies."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu frowned even more tightly.

"Why is the old lady suddenly dying?"

"She fell down before, and her health has been getting worse in the past six months. Zhuzi, I know Zhonghai and the old lady plotted against you before, and I can understand that you hate them. But the old lady has been talking about you every day in the past six months.

Even if I beg you, Zhuzi, please go and meet the old lady, and don't let her leave with regrets."

Sha Zhu was silent for a while before he spoke:

"Okay, I'll go there now."

When Sha Zhu followed Zhao Guilan to the old deaf man's house, the old deaf man was so excited that he wanted to stand up when he saw Sha Zhu.

"Old lady, please don't get up. If you are not feeling well, take more rest."

Sha Zhu felt very upset when he saw the skinny old deaf man.

If there is anyone in this courtyard who is sincere to him, it has to be the old deaf man.

How much Sha Zhu wished that the deaf old lady had never plotted against him.

Seeing the old deaf man's expression, Sha Zhu put aside the hatred in his heart and sat at the head of the bed to talk to the old deaf man.

"Madam, you look so thin. Have you not eaten well recently? Do you want me to make you something to eat?"

"Okay, I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. Zhuzi, please make me a bowl of braised pork. The old lady has bad teeth, so remember to stew it until it's tender."

The old deaf man's eyes narrowed into slits from laughing.

"You are really picky. You still want to eat braised pork in this day and age. Just wait and I will find a way to get you some meat."

Although Sha Zhu complained, he still went home, took out the meat coupons and money he had saved, and went to the vegetable market to buy meat and some steamed buns.

After Sha Zhu finished making the braised pork, he brought it to the deaf old lady.

The old deaf man had a big appetite and finished a bowl of braised pork and two steamed buns in one meal.

"Ma'am, it tastes okay, right?"

"Delicious, delicious. The food cooked by my eldest grandson is delicious. I haven't had such delicious braised pork in a long time. Please make something else for me when you have time in the future."

"Hey, you old lady are really picky. You can't eat good things every day. I'll make them for you when I have the chance."

"Haha, then we have a deal. I, an old woman, take your words seriously."
