"Ouch!"
Cui Juanzi heard her husband's cry and asked anxiously in the yard, "Old Zhu, what happened to you? Did you fall?"
Zhu Wuyong lay on the ground, feeling excruciating pain in his feet and the base of his tail. It was so painful that he didn't want to speak. It took him a while to recover.
"Old Zhu, Old Zhu..."
Cui Juanzi couldn't see Zhu Wuyong through the crack in the door, and when she saw that he didn't answer her, she was so anxious that she kept knocking on the door and shouting.
"Calling your soul." Zhu Wuyong was annoyed by her shouting and yelled in annoyance.
She was in pain and annoyed after the fall, and she kept shouting, which made Zhu Wuyong even more upset.
Cui Juanzi was still worried that 놛놆 might have fainted from the fall, but when she heard 놛놆's full-throated voice arguing with her, she finally felt relieved.
"Old Zhu, did you fall? Are you okay? Is it serious?"
Zhu Wuyong didn't want to pay attention to her. He stood up with his hands on the ground and limped towards the gate.
My feet and butt hurt when I walk.
As I walked to the gate, someone inside handed me a hammer.
Zhu Wuyong took a hammer and hit the lock. It took several hits before he finally broke the big iron lock open.
The gate opened and people in the yard poured out, some going to work, some going to school, and some buying groceries.
Zhu Wuyong entered the yard with the lock and found out that 놛 had twisted her foot. Cui Juanzi rubbed some medicinal wine on her and then 놛늀 went to work.
Li Yunshu also heard from the people who came to eat dumplings that the people in Yard 23 were locked in the yard this morning.
Everyone in Yard No. 23 was locked in the yard, but Qin Ye and Qin Rong, mother and daughter, came out. It was obvious that the people in Yard No. 23 being locked in the yard must have something to do with them.
Then, Li Yunshu asked Qin Ye and Qin Rong what was going on.
Qin Ye then explained the whole process and said, "Don't worry about this, Mom. I can handle it. I'll make sure we're well disciplined and never make trouble again."
Li Yunshu frowned and said, "These people are truly disgusting. When they see others living a better life, they suddenly appear to trip them up. They don't even pretend. They're like a toad on the back of your foot. It's disgusting even if it doesn't bite you."
Everyone knows that there are people in this courtyard who get off work or get out of class late and can only go home after 6 p.m., but other people in this courtyard have to set the rule of closing the gate at 6 p.m., which is clearly targeting those who can only go home after 6 p.m.
Everyone knows that this rule is unreasonable, but they set it anyway. Isn't it true that they don't even want to pretend?
Qin Rong gritted her teeth and said, "It's hard to rent a house now, so I'll move out with Chunbao. I really don't want to live with these people."
Although she had lived in that yard for more than ten years, she really had no feelings for that broken yard. Living with those wicked neighbors would really shorten her life.
Li Yunshu narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and said, "If you really want to move, you can ask around to see if there are any private houses for rent nearby. There are definitely houses like this, but the rent will be a bit more expensive."
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, as the country began to return private property, many Lihua Lanes appeared one after another, and overseas Chinese came to buy houses with the returned private property.
Because the country has a policy that prohibits forcible seizure of houses and evicting tenants, some people ignored the policy and took some tough measures to forcefully take back the houses.
Some choose to increase the rent and continue to rent to a tenant.
She remembered that Courtyard No. 23 also had an owner, and after the landlord received the property back, he simply raised the rent and continued to rent it to tenants.
But in the late 1980s, the owner sold the house.
When the buyer took over the house forcefully, there was even bloodshed.
For a yard like this that is owned by someone, if the owner wants to take back the house, you have to leave. You won't get any benefits from the demolition. Since it's not pleasant to live in and you want to move out, there's no need to keep living there.
Yard No. 18 was different. It had no owner. It belonged to the cotton mill. Later, the housing was renovated, and she and Lin Yong bought the house at a preferential price. Then it belonged to them, and they could get the demolition compensation if the house was demolished.
Qin Rong said, "It's okay if it's a little more expensive. As long as I can live comfortably, it's worth spending a little more."
As Chunbao grew older, she became less and less willing to live in Yard No. 23. There were so many evil spirits there.
Li Yunshu said, "Then you can ask the guests who come to eat dumplings. If you can move to a better place, move. There's no need to waste time with these people and affect your physical and mental health."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Ye and said, "If you don't want to live in No. 23 Courtyard anymore, come move in with me. The living room in the backyard is quite big. You can ask Hongliang to make a glass partition to separate it into a room. The light won't be too dark."
"I think it's okay." Qin Rong clapped her hands and said, "The dumpling shop makes money, and everyone knows it now. It's really not safe for you and Xiaoyu to live in this house. It would be safer at night if there was a man living there."
"I've been asking customers who come to eat dumplings these days. If they can find a suitable house, I'll move in."
Qin Ye was very touched and happy that Li Yunshu could offer to let him live with her, but he also said, "There's no rush. Let's pack up first. I'll move in after Aunt Qin moves out."
Li Yunshu thought about it, nodded and said, "That's fine. Now the people in Courtyard 23 are no longer pretending. Who knows what tricks they will play. If you live in the courtyard, you can also take care of your Aunt Qin and Chunbao."
After Zhu Wuyong went back to work, the pain in his buttocks gradually subsided, but his feet still hurt and it hurt whenever he walked.
My foot was swollen, so I went to the factory clinic to see a doctor. The doctor said that I had injured my ligament and gave me some medicine to apply. He also told me to use less force on my foot when walking, and it was best not to walk on my foot at all.
After applying the medicine given by the doctor, the pain was indeed less severe. Zhu Wuyong walked back home, but his foot hurt again after he got home.
Cui Juanzi climbed up to the sun lounger and applied a hot compress to Zhu Wuyong's feet with a hot compress. "God damn Qin Ye, if you hadn't locked the door, your foot wouldn't have been injured. You should ask me to pay for the medical expenses."
Zhu Wuyong lay on the lounge chair without saying a word, and hated Qin Ye so much in his heart that his teeth were itching.
"Your feet are so swollen, why don't you take two days off and rest at home instead of going to work?" Cui Juanzi said.
Zhu Wuyong nodded and said, "Tomorrow, go to the public telephone station and call the factory to ask for leave for me."
My feet are so swollen that I can't walk to work at all.
"Old Zhu, how about asking Qin Ye to pay for your medical expenses?" Cui Juanzi asked, "You fell over the wall because you locked the door. You must pay for the medical expenses."
Zhu Wuyong chuckled, "If you want compensation, go and ask for it."
Cui Juanzi said confidently: "You will definitely ask for it."
"Wait until that little bastard Qin Ye gets home from get off work and asks for it. If he doesn't give it to you, I'll ask for it tomorrow when the dumpling shop is busiest."
In order not to affect the business of the store, Qin Ye had to pay the money even if he didn't want to.
