The gate of this courtyard is very huge, and you can tell how magnificent it was in the past.

Wu Xiuxiu followed Ding Hongjuan and Dong Xiaoye to the depths of the alley and came to a big house. She looked at the gate and her pupils dilated a little.

She had never seen such a mansion!

Although the gate is a bit mottled and the area around it looks old due to lack of maintenance, you can still tell how grand it used to be and that it was a mansion.

As I recall, this courtyard house belonged to a prince in the Qing Dynasty. It was a very large courtyard house with four entrances and four exits.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it was bought by a businessman. However, when the New China was established, the government confiscated the courtyard house and distributed it to ordinary people who had no houses.

Because this courtyard is so big, it was divided among twenty families. There are several families in each entrance, and it is very lively.

Her family lived in the last courtyard, which was the fourth courtyard, in the west wing. Her family had two rooms in total, both of which were wing rooms.

These two rooms were allocated to her when her grandfather was still alive. After her grandfather died, they were inherited by her father.

Her father is a worker in a fertilizer factory. The factory has employee housing that can be allocated to her father, but according to regulations, if there is employee housing, one cannot live in the courtyard house. The courtyard house must be returned and given to other people.

There have always been many people who have no place to live, and housing has always been tight.

After discussing with her mother, they decided not to have employee housing and to live in the courtyard house.

This courtyard house, in modern terms, is located in a prime location. There is everything you need around it, and there are all kinds of shops nearby, making it very convenient to buy anything.

The housing for the fertilizer factory employees is in a remote and bad location. It takes half an hour by car to get to a department store, unlike the Siheyuan where there is a department store not far away.

Although my father was allocated two employee housing units, they were far smaller than the two side rooms in the courtyard.

Although her family's house in the courtyard is a wing room, both wing rooms are large and can be divided into several rooms.

The two staff housing units her father was able to get were small and could not be divided into several rooms.

When her brother took over her father's job at the fertilizer factory, he was able to get employee housing, but for the same reason, her brother chose to give it up and let the Wu family continue to live in the courtyard.

"Xiu Xiu is discharged from the hospital!"

Wu Xiuxiu followed her mother and sister-in-law into the gate, walked around the screen wall and came to the first courtyard, where she saw a woman in her thirties picking vegetables.

When the woman saw them, she immediately put down the food in her hands and came over with a smile.

Wu Xiuxiu searched her mind for the woman in front of her and found that she was Widow Lin who lived in the first courtyard.

Widow Lin was a pitiful person. Her husband died in a factory accident two years ago, leaving her alone with two children who were not even ten years old.

Fortunately, her husband's factory took care of the three of them and gave them living expenses every month, so life was not a problem, just a little hard.

After Wu Xiuxiu knew who the other person was, she nodded politely and smiled, "Sister Lin, you are picking vegetables."

"Well, my sister gave me some spinach this morning. I want to pick it out and fry it later. Xiuxiu, how is your health? Are you fully recovered?" Widow Lin said with concern.

She has a good relationship with the Wu family, so she really cares about Wu Xiuxiu.

"I'm completely fine now, thank you for your concern." Wu Xiuxiu replied with a smile.

"That's good. Don't do such stupid things impulsively in the future. If you get caught in the rain and get a fever, it can kill you...

Even if you don't die from the burns, your brain will be damaged. Fortunately, you look normal and your brain is fine." Widow Lin showed a relieved expression.

Hearing this, Wu Xiuxiu's brows twitched slightly, barely perceptible.
