Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 166 1 Aunt

He family

"Xiao Laizi, do you want to go back to the countryside with your parents tomorrow?" He Zhan asked.

"Dad, you guys go ahead. I'm about to graduate and I still have a lot of things to do. I haven't even asked for leave today."

He Lai didn't want to disturb them. He would probably be scolded if he returned to the countryside, so he didn't want to take the blame.

"Okay, there's plenty of time later anyway, so go to bed early."

He Zhan didn't force it. He would probably be criticized if he went back anyway, so he might as well not take his son with him.

When He Lai heard this, he quickly returned to his room.

Wu Juan looked at He Lai's quick movements, afraid that he would delay her, and smiled.

"Boss, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

Wu Juan said to He Zhan with a smile, and that look must have made He Zhan eat it up.

He Zhan thought of what happened in the afternoon and his legs trembled, but Wu Juan still pulled him into the room.

He Lai listened to the noise coming from next door and felt mixed emotions. No, I can't sleep here anymore. Who can stand this?

He Lai quickly locked the door. Fortunately, there was still some space in his own space, so he quickly hid in it and lay down for a while.

It's warm in winter and cool in summer and quite comfortable, but the space is a little small. It would be better if it was bigger.

……

When He Lai opened the door, Wu Juan and the others had already left.

He Lai packed up and pushed his bicycle out of the yard. Many middle-aged women in the middle yard were sitting together chatting about gossip.

"Xiao Laizi, go back to school." The second aunt spoke first.

"Yes, Second Auntie, you guys are chatting." He Lai replied, looking at the aunties.

Jia Zhang was also inside, smiling, because Zhang Guihua had finally been converted to a regular employee after working as a temporary worker for several years and had a city hukou.

Jia Dongxu also successfully passed the exam and became a third-level worker. With the addition of a great joke, the pressure of life was suddenly relieved a lot.

The only regret is that Zhang Guihua was unable to have another child!

As for the first lady, she didn't say anything either, just stayed there quietly. It seemed that she was talking less and less, and He Lai thought that the first lady must be a little tired physically and mentally.

He Lai parked the car, came to the side of the lady and decided to take a look at her.

"Auntie, I have learned a lot of medical skills recently. I see that you don't look well. Come, let me feel your pulse."

"Yes, let your first aunt take a look. I also think that there is something wrong with her not talking all day. Now she can only smile. Let’s take a look at her quickly." The second aunt said quickly.

"Well, I just need to listen to you." said the aunt with a smile.

He Lai also squatted on the ground and pulled the old lady's hand out and lifted her up.

He Lai held her hand for a long time before he withdrew his hand. He Lai found that the lady did have some heart problems, and he didn't know if it was caused by excessive sadness.

"Auntie, it's nothing serious. I'll prescribe some medicine for you tonight and we'll talk about it later."

He Lai decided to have a detailed chat with the aunt in the evening.

"Okay, I'll come to see you that night." Auntie said to He Lai with a smile.

"Okay, ladies, I'll leave first." He said.

"Xiao Laizi, you are really good at treating illnesses. How about you help everyone?"

"Next time, definitely next time." He Lai pushed the cart away.

He Lai was thinking about Auntie in the classroom. According to He Lai's diagnosis of Auntie's pulse, she was fertile. What was going on? Could it be that Yi Zhonghai was infertile?

He Lai shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He would first prescribe some tranquilizers and blood-replenishing medicines for the old lady and then check back later.

"Come on, something doesn't seem right today, what's wrong?" Zhang Zhiwen asked when he saw that He Lai was not in good shape.

"I didn't sleep well last night, I'll be fine after a good sleep later. By the way, I'm going back to the courtyard tonight."

He Lai responded with one sentence.

"Okay, I see."

……

He Lai went to the clinic, got some medicine, and then returned to the courtyard.

When he saw Yu Shui and Chun Er on the road, he quickly asked Yu Shui to call the old lady to his house.

He Lai sat alone in the room thinking about how to best talk to the aunt.

"Brother Lai, I brought Auntie here." The sound of rain rang in his ears, and He Lai came back to his senses.

"Auntie, please sit down. Yushui, go get a cup of honey water."

He Lai quickly greeted.

"Xiao Laizi, just tell me straight, what's wrong with my body?" The aunt also knew that she was not in good health.

"Let's talk about this later. Auntie, let's talk about other things first." He Lai changed the subject.

"Auntie, why haven't you thought about adopting a child?"

"I would like to do this, but Lao Yi doesn't agree, so I have no choice."

The aunt sighed again.

"Why? Are you planning to live like this?" He Lai was also very puzzled.

Since Yi Zhonghai is unable to have children, there is no reason why he would not want to adopt one. Is he really like in the TV series, thinking that Jia Dongxu will take care of him in his old age?

"Old Yi wants Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age. I can't do anything about it."

Although Auntie looked down on the Jia family, she could not refute her own head.

"Well, Auntie, if I tell you that you can have children, what will you do?"

He Lai realized that adopting a child was not feasible, so he just gave up directly.

"What? I can give birth! How, how is this possible!" The aunt was stunned for a moment after hearing what He Lai said.

If I can have children, why haven’t I had any in all these years?

"Xiao Laizi, explain to Auntie clearly what I mean by I can give birth!"

The aunt became extremely excited.

"Auntie, don't get excited. Sit down first and I'll talk to you slowly."

He Lai quickly asked Yu Shui to push the old lady onto the chair.

"Auntie, when I took your pulse at noon, I found that you had a little problem with your heart, and there might be some signs of depression."

“What is depression?”

"Depression means you feel like you can't muster the energy to do anything, your mood is low, your sleep is shallow, and you wake up at the slightest noise."

When the aunt heard this, she felt like this herself and her face became much uglier.

"What about the heart? Can it be cured?"

"Your heart condition isn't serious right now, but if you continue in this state, it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

He Lai felt that the early heart problems of Auntie might have something to do with the fact that he had destroyed Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan.

Now the Jia family can stand on its own feet and does not need Yi Zhonghai at all, which leads to Jia Dongxu not relying too much on him now.

"Okay, Auntie, I know. Now tell me what does it mean that I can have children?"

The aunt returned to the original question.

"It's just that maybe there's something wrong with your uncle. There's nothing wrong with you having children."

He Lai still told her the truth.

"It's impossible, at that time... at that time..." The old lady began to recall what the doctor had said before.

"Scammers, they are all liars... woo... woo..." An old lady lay on the table and burst into tears.

Yu Shui hurried forward to comfort her, her eyes were red, and she didn't know how to start, so she could only look at the old lady with heartache.
