Chapter 168 Glass Marbles

And the Qin family in the west wing of the central courtyard.

The Qin sisters and Qin Huairu's two daughters were also eating. Qin Jingru came a few days ago to escape the disaster.

Xu Damao's parents went to Qin Jingru's home in the countryside to make a fuss, and insisted that Qin Jingru go to the northwest to accompany Xu Damao. If she refused to go, they would stay at Qin Jingru's home and not only eat and drink for free, but also cry and make a fuss.

Qin Jingru's parents were also furious. Only then did they realize that such a big thing had happened to their daughter, and Qin Jingru had been hiding it from them. So, without even bothering to deal with their daughter, they started fighting with Xu Damao's parents.

Qin Jingru could no longer stay in the village. Her reputation had been spread by Xu Damao's parents to several surrounding villages, and she could not marry into a good family, so she had to move to the city to join Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu didn't want to take Qin Jingru in either. After all, everyone had a fixed amount of rations. If Qin Jingru ate one more bite, she and her daughter would eat one less bite, and Qin Jingru didn't have a job yet.

But Qin Jingru had nowhere to go now, and she couldn't chase them out immediately. If something happened, she wouldn't be able to explain to her uncles from her mother's side, so Qin Jingru stayed in the courtyard.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu and her daughter are both women and children, so they can save a bite of food for Qin Jingru, but this is not a long-term solution.

……

After breakfast, Li Xiuyuan rode his bike to Ding Qiunan's house, put down a pile of food, and saw that Ding Qiunan and the children were fine. He sat for a while and then left.

When they arrived at the park near Lou Xiao'e's home, he saw the sign Lou Xiao'e left for him, saying that she had something to do today and would not come.

Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to turn around and go back to the courtyard.

In the front yard, many women were washing clothes by the pool. Some took out their quilts to dry in the dry in the good weather. After finishing everything, everyone sat together in the sun, basking in the sun and chatting and laughing.

I have to say that in this age without mobile phones and the Internet, relationships between people are very important. Otherwise, it would be boring to stay at home, and no one would care about you when you go out.

Just like Qin Huairu now, after her family's reputation became ruined, she seldom came out to chat with people and could only stay in the house.

The pool in the middle courtyard was deserted, with Qin Jingru the only one washing clothes. When she saw Li Xiuyuan coming in, she quickly lowered her head. She was already feeling inferior, and now she felt even more inferior.

In the yard, the four children of Liang Ladi's family were playing with glass marbles not far from their doorstep, while Xiaodang and Huaihua of the Jia family could only stand at the door and watch with envy, because their mother would not let them play with Damao and his sister.

At this time, the deaf old lady came out of Yi Zhonghai's house. She walked slowly with a cane, and looked here and there from time to time to see when the leaves on the trees would turn green...but she didn't know that she was standing not far from the marble hole at the moment.

At this time, Ermao was about to flick the marble into the hole. He aimed at the hole and fired the marble... But he missed the target and fired too hard, causing the marble to fall right under the feet of the deaf old lady...

Li Xiuyuan happened to see this scene, and saw that the deaf old lady's feet had been raised and were about to fall. If she was unlucky, she might slip on the marbles, and then the children would be in big trouble!

Ermao and the others also saw the marbles rolling down to the feet of the deaf old lady. They opened their mouths in surprise and wanted to shout, but it was too late.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't bear to see these children suffer, so he took the marbles from under the deaf old lady's feet.

The children breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old lady land on the ground and was fine.

Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady was really unlucky. One of her feet was no longer in danger, but her other foot happened to step on a raised brick. She lost her footing and fell to the ground...

When the children saw this, they were immediately frightened. Da Mao quickly ran into the house and called his mother...

Liang Ladi came out and saw the deaf old lady crawling on the ground and crying "Ouch!" She quickly went forward to help her up...

Qin Jingru, who was by the pool, also dropped her clothes and ran over to help Liang Ladi support the deaf old lady.

Aunt Yi in the east wing also heard the noise in the yard and hurried out, and saw Liang Ladi and Qin Jingru helping the deaf old lady up together.

"Ouch! Old lady, what happened to you? Why did you fall?" Aunt Yi shouted.

The deaf old lady was helped up, but as soon as her feet touched the ground she started screaming again, and her body kept sliding down. Liang Ladi and Qin Jingru could only hold her up with all their strength.

"Old lady, what's wrong with you? Does it hurt?"

"My foot... my foot hurts... it seems to be broken!"

"Ah!" everyone was shocked!

Aunt Yi was also a little panicked at this moment. Yi Zhonghai was not at home. What should she do? She had to send the old lady to the hospital.

Liang Ladi was calmer. She said, "Hurry up and find a car to take the old lady to the hospital." Shazhu was not at home either. Where did he go? The men were not at home, so only the women could make the decision.

Aunt Yi thought it was right. She saw Li Xiuyuan standing beside her and shouted, "Xiao Li, can you use your car to take the old lady to the hospital?"

Li Xiuyuan felt it was unlucky, but if he didn't agree, it would be hard to justify himself.

"Then you have to hold on tight, the seat is very high..." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw people from the front yard gathered around. Li Xiuyuan quickly called Yan Fugui: "Second uncle, the old lady's leg is broken, please find a tricycle quickly, my tricycle is too high, it's not safe for the old lady to sit on it, please hurry up, don't delay the old lady's treatment!"

When Yan Fugui heard this, he quickly sent his eldest son Yan Jiecheng to find a car, and sent his youngest son to find Lao Yi. He couldn't take the lead in this matter, so he had to find the old lady's godson. What does a godson do? It's used at this time.

After a while, the tricycle was found and Yi Zhonghai was also found. He, Aunt Yi, and Yan Fugui took the old lady to the hospital together.

After the old lady left, Liang Ladi asked the children how the old lady fell.

The children told Liang Ladi what they had seen, and she thought it was none of her children's business. But Sha Zhu treated the old lady as a relative, so she had to go to the hospital to check on her.

She first went to the place where the old lady fell and saw a protruding brick. The brick was loose, so it was no wonder that she tripped. It seemed that she really didn't want her children. Liang Ladi was relieved at this time.

She was afraid that the old lady fell because of her child, and that idiot would really eat her.

Originally the ground of this yard was paved with bricks, but later due to years of disrepair, the bricks broke and some of them emerged from the soil.

Liang Ladi was afraid that someone would trip again, so she picked up a brick and threw it into the corner, and leveled the ground. She did her job well to prevent anyone from tripping.

All this was seen by Qin Jingru and Li Xiuyuan who were washing clothes. Also seen was Qin Huairu who was in the west wing. She didn't come out at all when the old lady fell down. She hoped that the old lady would fall to death instead of being kind enough to come out to help her.

Liang Ladi quickly packed up the house and was about to go to the hospital to see the old lady. Before leaving, she told Damao to take his younger brothers and sisters to play at home, "There are steamed buns on the dining table in the room. When you are hungry, heat them up and eat them with your brothers and sisters." She was afraid that she would come back late and the children would be hungry, so she had to make arrangements in advance.

After Liang Ladi left, Ermao started looking for his marbles. However, he searched the ground for a long time but couldn't find his glass ball. He clearly bounced it here, so why couldn't he find it?

Then he mobilized his elder brother and Sanmao to look for it together, but they still couldn't find it.

Damao said unhappily, "These marbles were bought for us by Uncle Nanyi. You lost them. What are we going to play with in the future?"

Ermao lowered his head guiltily and accepted his elder brother's criticism.

When Li Xiuyuan returned home, he took the marble in his hand and looked at it, but decided not to return it to Ermao because he felt that this thing would bring him trouble.
