"Alright, we'll listen to you," Liu Xiaoyue said, darting up from behind.
"Brother, I'm fine!"
"Sister-in-law is too tired taking care of two children alone. I've wanted to share some of the burden with her for a long time!"
"Haha!"
Liu Kai Xuan patted Liu Xiaoyue's shoulder and laughed, "Alright, you little brat!"
"You're still a child yourself, so don't pretend to be an adult all day!"
"Brother knows you're a sensible and good child, but no matter how sensible you are, you're not grown up yet!"
"As long as you study hard and maintain good grades, brother will be very satisfied!"
Liu Xiaoyue replied solemnly, "Brother, don't worry, I promise to complete all the tasks you've assigned me!"
"In the next exam, I'll get first place in the class again!"
"That's right!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "As expected, my sister is the most sensible!"
"Hehe, I've always been very sensible!"
This girl, Liu Xiaoyue, was quite a credit to her family at school.
Her exam results were consistently among the top in her class, and she was also very sensible at home.
She often helped with household chores voluntarily and never caused trouble for the family.
...
The next afternoon, Xu Da Mao, as usual, went to visit Yi Zhong Hai.
As soon as he entered the room, he was hit by a sickeningly foul odor.
"Gulp..."
Xu Da Mao almost threw up on the spot.
Yi Zhong Hai's legs were broken and he couldn't move.
Not only could he not eat or drink, but he couldn't even get out of bed to relieve himself.
He had a bucket set up inside for convenience, which was utterly disgusting.
Xu Da Mao, feeling extremely nauseated, intended to leave.
Yi Zhong Hai shouted, "Da Mao, don't go, please, I'm begging you!"
"I'll give you two yuan every day, stay and take care of me!"
Xu Da Mao covered his nose and mouth, and said with extreme disgust,
"Yi Zhong Hai, this is too disgusting!"
"I don't want to do it even for two yuan a day, it's at least three yuan!"
"You're price gouging!" Yi Zhong Hai was so enraged that he coughed up blood.
"I'm too lazy to deal with you!" Xu Da Mao had no time to waste chatting nonsense with Yi Zhong Hai.
Without another word, Xu Da Mao got up to leave.
At this moment, Yi Zhong Hai shamelessly said, "Three yuan it is, Da Mao, don't go, I'm begging you!"
"Wouldn't it have been better if you had agreed earlier?"
Xu Da Mao gave Yi Zhong Hai a disgusted look and said irritably, "Even your wife doesn't want to take care of you now!"
"I'm willing to stay and take care of you, but it's all because we're old neighbors!"
Xu Da Mao's words were grand and noble, but Yi Zhong Hai at this moment truly wished he could pounce on him and bite him to death.
Xu Da Mao's actions were clearly taking advantage of his misfortune.
The crucial point was that Yi Zhong Hai's legs were broken, and he could only be at the mercy of others lying in bed.
Wife?
His wife, Qin Huai Ru, was now eagerly hoping for Yi Zhong Hai to die soon.
After all, Qin Huai Ru was still married to Yi Zhong Hai.
As soon as Yi Zhong Hai died, it would be peaceful and perfect.
Bang Geng's deep hatred would be avenged, and Qin Huai Ru could happily inherit all of Yi Zhong Hai's property, which would be too satisfying.
If Xu Da Mao hadn't jumped out to "disrupt" things, Qin Huai Ru's plan would have succeeded.
With the care of Xu Da Mao, the "warmhearted special nurse," Yi Zhong Hai finally didn't have to lie in bed waiting to die.
Furthermore, with Yi Zhong Hai and Xu Da Mao spending time together day and night, they naturally wouldn't discuss "good things."
...
Time passed quickly, and two months later.
One evening, Liu Kai Xuan's family received a notice that an all-courtyard meeting would be held that night.
The main purpose of this all-courtyard meeting was to discuss the ownership of the Deaf Old Lady's house.
Yi Zhong Hai's will had been invalidated by the neighborhood committee, and Yi Zhong Hai disagreed with their decision.
At the same time, Sha Zhu was also coveting the Deaf Old Lady's house.
Although Sha Zhu was still in prison, don't forget that Sha Zhu's sister, He Yu Shui, was still outside.
The Deaf Old Lady's house was very valuable!
If Sha Zhu hadn't gone to prison, according to the original plot of the courtyard, this house would have ended up in Sha Zhu's hands.
Of course, the Jia family leeching the house from Sha Zhu was a story for later.
At least after the Deaf Old Lady's death, Sha Zhu was the most qualified to inherit the house.
He Yu Shui, during her visit to the prison, told Sha Zhu about the Deaf Old Lady's affairs.
Sha Zhu then urged He Yu Shui to make sure she got the house.
Yi Zhong Hai, after months of recuperation, although his leg injury had not fully recovered, he had regained some mobility.
He could walk with a cane, limping along, and he attended the meeting that evening.
When everyone had gathered, the First Elder, Wang Da Peng, spoke.
"The situation is as follows!"
"Comrade Yi Zhong Hai believes that his will is still valid and that the Deaf Old Lady's house should still be inherited by him!"
"Sha Zhu believes that he fulfilled his filial duty to the Deaf Old Lady!"
"The Deaf Old Lady had clearly stated before her death that after she passed away, the house would be inherited by Sha Zhu!"
"Sha Zhu believes that since Yi Zhong Hai's will has been invalidated, the house should belong to him!"
"Although Sha Zhu himself is still in prison, he has authorized Comrade He Yu Shui to handle this matter on his behalf!"
"However, this matter is of great importance, and before a final decision is made, we need to get everyone's opinions."
After Wang Da Peng finished speaking, he gestured for the people in the audience to speak.
But the neighbors in the audience were silent, no one spoke.
Unable to help himself, Wang Da Peng had to say, "Next, please Director Liu Kai Xuan express your opinion!"
Flattery and seeking favor were in the nature of most people. Liu Kai Xuan had too much prestige in the courtyard, it was truly difficult to be low-key.
At Wang Da Peng's invitation, Liu Kai Xuan stood up and said, "Since the will in Yi Zhong Hai's hands has been declared invalid by the neighborhood committee!"
"Then it's not something our courtyard can change!"
"If Yi Zhong Hai is dissatisfied with this matter, he should go to the neighborhood committee to report the situation!"
Yi Zhong Hai explained with a forced smile, "I went to the neighborhood committee this morning to report this matter!"
"The neighborhood committee said that invalidating the will was the decision of the courtyard's neighbors!"
"If I want to inherit the property, I need to convince the neighbors in the courtyard first!"
"So I hope..."
Before Yi Zhong Hai could finish his sentence, Liu Kai Xuan interrupted him, "Then let's vote!"
