With the support of her mother's family, Yu Sui smiled happily.
After dinner, Yu Haichao and Sun Yuying went out.
Yu Sui wanted to wash the dishes, but Yu He Miao refused: "You take a break, I'll do this little thing. Besides, you're wearing new clothes for a visit today, don't get them dirty."
Yu Sui looked at her pink Dacron shirt and said, "That's right. If I had known that woman Afen was like that, I wouldn't have needed to wear new clothes. She wouldn't have treated me as a guest. Sister, let's do it together. You wash and I dry. You're not our babysitter. We all have to do the housework."
"I just want to love you. You are already a married daughter, but Xia Lin is special, so you still live in her house. If it were someone else, they would have gone to their husband's house long ago. Now that you have a place to live, stay at your parents' house. I will take care of you."
"Hahaha, my sister is so nice."
Yu Sui hugged Yu Hemiao's shoulders and acted coquettishly. The two sisters talked for a while. Yu Hemiao was going to cut grass for the pigs and asked Yu Sui to help take care of Lanlan and Guoguo.
Yu Sui said, "Sister, if you don't go today, let me go. You know, I want to secretly check on those old guys."
Yu Hemiao was a little worried, but Yu Sui was decisive. He immediately went back to his room to change into a homespun dress and a pair of homespun shoes, and then put Sun Yuying's tattered straw hat on his head. He looked like an urban intellectual youth just now, but now he looked like a veteran official.
She carried the bamboo basket she used to cut grass for the pigs on her back and said, "Sister, I'll give you a day off. Go home and spend time with the kids."
In the afternoons of mid-June, the village is very quiet. Most people's homes are empty. The elderly and children who are left at home in a few places will also choose to take a nap at this time. The village alleys are also particularly deserted.
Yu Sui deliberately went from the back of the village and quickly got to Yu Laojiu's house.
This was one of the three elderly people who participated in the packaging according to the attendance record on the day when the defective product appeared in the factory.
The old man is in his seventies. When he was young, he went to the docks in Shanghai to do hard labor to earn money. He injured himself and his back was hunched, making it impossible for him to do any work. His wife passed away a few years ago, so he has been living in the homes of his two sons in turn.
However, his two sons did not have a good relationship with him, and his daughter-in-law even despised him for not being able to work and earn money, so she did not give him any food after cooking. The old man had to go from one meal to the next, and he could only live in an extra house that was similar to a pig shed.
Fortunately, Zhang Caifeng, who had the attentiveness and kindness of a female cadre, managed to get him a packaging job in the factory.
In this way, any leftover scraps from the factory would be shared with him, and he could earn a little money. His two sons became much more friendly, and his daughter-in-law was also willing to give him a bowl of rice.
Among the old men who worked in the packaging factory, Yu Laojiu was relatively the most kind. He often praised Zhang Caifeng and was sincerely grateful to her, so Yu Sui wanted to start the investigation with this old man.
Yu Sui casually cut some grass from the roadside and stuffed it into the basket on his back, then leaned his head behind Yu Laojiu's house to listen to the sound.
The room was so quiet that it seemed empty.
Just when Yu Sui was feeling disappointed and wanted to leave, she heard a sigh and faint suppressed crying.
It was the cry of an old man.
Yu Sui frowned and thought for a while, then looked around and found that there was no one nearby, so she hid in the space.
Looking from space, you can see a figure floating in the air across a wall.
This is actually the spatial image of a person sleeping in bed.
From this video, it is obvious that Yu Laojiu was really crying, as he was lying on his side with his knees bent and his shoulders shaking violently.
Alas, why is it so painful to watch an old man cry?
What's wrong with the old man?
Should she knock on the door and ask?
Yu Sui hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to buy some things in the space before going to knock on the door.
She chose from one item to another in front of the screen, and finally chose a large bag of compressed biscuits.
The old man has lost his job now, and it is very likely that he will return to the situation of having no food to eat again. So I gave him some compressed biscuits to help him fill his stomach for a while. Anyway, these biscuits are wrapped in aluminum foil. As long as the outer wrapping paper is removed, no one will know where they came from.
It took no more than three minutes to buy the cookies. Yu Sui had just received the cookies and was trying to see if anyone else was going out nearby when she suddenly discovered that the only image outside had changed from floating horizontally to floating vertically.
It was rare to see such a situation, and Yu Sui was stunned: Huh? What's going on?
The next second, she rushed out of the space, walked around to the front of Yu Laojiu's house and kicked the door: "Yu Laojiu, what are you doing! Don't do anything stupid!"
The door was not locked. Yu Sui kicked it and it opened by itself. Yu Sui almost fell apart. In order to steady herself, she hit her shoulder against the door frame and it hurt.
But when she saw the person inside was already hanging from the beam, Yu Sui no longer cared about her shoulders and rushed over to hug the two dangling feet: "Hey, hey, hey, Yu Laojiu, you can't do this, come on, I'm holding your feet, get down!"
The old man had just been hung up and was still conscious. He struggled violently at first, trying to get rid of Yu Sui.
Yu Sui held on tightly and tried her best to pull him up to prevent him from hanging to death.
"Yu Laojiu, you can't die. I still want to ask you to help investigate Zhang Caifeng's case. If you die, Zhang Caifeng, such a kind-hearted person, will have even less people to help her. Don't die. Yu Laojiu, I tell you, good days are coming. Things will get better in the future. An old man like you can live a good life too. Believe me, old man, don't die. I see you like this now. If I let you die, won't others blame me? Don't die yet..."
Yu Sui's mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what she was saying.
But after talking for a while, Yu Laojiu finally stopped struggling.
Yu Sui held on to his feet tightly, and the old man grabbed the rope and freed himself.
But he had no strength left, and his hands loosened, and his body fell heavily on Yu Sui.
No matter how old a man is, he is still bigger than a little girl like Yu Sui.
Yu Sui was forced to kneel down by the old man for a while, but she still slowly and steadily put the old man down on the ground.
The old man lay on the ground, rubbing his throat with his hands, sobbing, but it seemed that he could not cry anymore, looking very miserable.
Yu Sui got up and went to get the bag of compressed biscuits that had been thrown outside the door. "Uncle Laojiu, why did you hang yourself? They say it's better to live a miserable life than to die. You must be sixty years old and don't understand this truth. What happened? Did you miss your meal? I have some biscuits here. Have some."
The old man cried even louder, looking aggrieved like a child.
Yu Sui felt that she guessed right.
She looked around and saw a broken bowl in the corner of the dilapidated house with a little water in it. Yu Sui took it and gave it to him along with the biscuits: "Eat it, eat it first and we'll talk later."
