Chapter 85: What I See at Night

Chapter 85: What I See at Night
Jia Dongxu was really scared this time.

Now that Jia Zhang is not at home, he has lost his backbone.

He was a little bit drifting before, but after this incident, he went to the other extreme.

Now Jia Dongxu doesn't even have the slightest idea of ​​being independent.

He never expected that his good life would be completely overturned without him noticing.

So in response to Qin Huairu's refusal, Jia Dongxu did not insist on saying yes, but turned sideways and fell asleep with fear and panic.

I think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Jia Dongxu slept very deeply, but not very peacefully.

In his dream, he was fired from the factory because he failed the assessment, and the courtyard house was taken back by the street.

Qin Huairu, with tears in her eyes, still wearing her wedding dress from that day, pointed at his nose and called him a waste, saying that she wanted to go back to her parents' home and remarry.

Jia Dongxu woke up from his dream and found that he was covered in cold sweat.

Jia Dongxu reached out his hand to touch the side and felt the familiar fragrance and softness, then he felt relieved.

He recalled the scene in his dream and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Jia Dongxu knew that some things in his dreams would never happen. For example, even if he lost his job, the street would not drive him out of the yard.

Because his household registration is already in Nanluoguxiang Street.

And Qin Huairu should not leave, after all, she is his legally married wife.

As he was thinking, Jia Dongxu stood up, groped in the dark, opened the door and went out.

The creaking sound of the wooden door bearing woke Qin Huairu up. Qin Huairu murmured, "Dongxu? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to pee." Jia Dongxu answered casually.

At this time, it should be around twelve o'clock in the night.

Nowadays, every household has a toilet.

But men still have the habit of putting a urine bucket in the yard to prevent the house from smelling.

Of course, emptying the urine bucket is basically a task that neighbors in the same yard take turns to do, and there is nothing special about it.

In fact, Jia Dongxu came out not just to pee, but also to get some fresh air. The dream just now made Jia Dongxu feel a little depressed.

The urine bucket in the middle courtyard was placed at the corner of the crescent gate leading to the backyard. This was also the reason why Xu Damao used peeing as an excuse when he was accused of eavesdropping by the deaf old lady last time.

Jia Dongxu stood in front of the urinal, but he no longer felt like peeing. This is how he is. If he fails to pee, he will feel uncomfortable everywhere.

It's that feeling of regret that you clearly feel it has it, but when you take out the thing, it's not there.

Jia Dongxu stopped where he was, looking around randomly. The yard was pitch dark, but there was a faint light in the backyard.

Although the windows covered with newspapers were closed tightly, on a night like this, it was impossible to block out the light in the house at such a close distance.

Jia Dongxu didn’t think much about it. It was normal for an old man to not be able to sleep at night.

Jia Dongxu felt temporarily at peace as he listened to the rustling of the wind across the roof and the snoring coming from the nearby neighbor's house.

However, unexpectedly, at this moment, the cry of a wild cat broke the peace.

"Who?" A deep and hoarse voice came from the deaf old lady's room.

"Don't be startled, it's the cry of a wild cat." This is the voice of a deaf old lady.

Jia Dongxu was stunned. He felt like he was hallucinating. He actually heard a man's voice from the deaf old lady's room.

Jia Dongxu subconsciously hid in the corner, but at the moment he hid, a ray of light came out through the door of the deaf old lady. Jia Dongxu didn't dare to breathe, and he didn't dare to look out even though he was hiding in the corner.

He didn't know what he was afraid of. It was obvious that as long as he shouted at this moment, all the neighbors in the yard would come out. Even if bandits entered the yard, everyone would stop them together.

What's more, it might be some distant relative of the deaf old lady who stops by her house after dark.

But Jia Dongxu just felt scared.

If he stuck his head out to take a look at this time, he would see a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit with shifty eyes and a sallow face sticking his head out and looking around.

The middle-aged man was still chewing something in his mouth.

This person's clothes are in stark contrast to his appearance.

The man opened the door and didn't close it. He went in with a few rustling noises, then opened the door a little and squeezed out.

The middle-aged man was carrying a black package, but he turned around and whispered to the door: "Godmother, do you have anything else to say to my godfather?"

There was a sigh from inside the door, and the deaf old lady said with a hint of sadness: "Let Old Huang run away if he can! Go far away. He is already this old, what's the point of doing such a thing?

His health is not good either. He follows you guys into the mountains every day. What if...

Ugh!
Don’t come here again in case you get bumped into by those people on the street someday.

The godmother has to see her son off before her.

Let's go, let's go, and be safe.

If you know your godmother is gone in the future, you can burn more paper money for her if you feel like it."

The deaf old lady might have been really moved, or she felt that no one was watching her in the middle of the night, so although she spoke in a low voice, she spoke openly while standing at the door.

Jia Dongxu was completely confused.

What is Old Huang, the godson and godmother?
Why would the deaf old lady get involved with Yi Zhonghai's family if she has this relationship?
The middle-aged man nodded, put down the package, and kowtowed three times to the deaf old lady.

He stood up, tied the package behind his back, took a running start, jumped into the air, and with his hands he had already grabbed the two-meter-high wall in the backyard.

With one stride, he was already on the wall.

With another light leap, the sound was very small, and the gray Zhongshan suit blended perfectly with the night.

Jia Dongxu waited until he could no longer sense the light in the backyard before taking two deep breaths.

He didn't understand the conversation between the two, but he instinctively felt that neither of them was a good person.

Thinking about the stories he had heard on the streets recently, Jia Dongxu became a little excited.

Jia Dongxu was excited not because of anything else, but because of the time he spent visiting Jia Zhangshi and the future that Jia Zhangshi had planned for him.

According to what Jia Zhang said, the He family's plan must not work. Given He Yuzhu's vigilance against the Jia family and the He family's connections in Sijiu City, He Yuzhu might really punish Jia Dongxu, and the Jia family could not compete with the He family.

But Jia Dongxu can count on the deaf old lady. He doesn't have to do anything bad. He can just wait and see the deaf old lady die.

By then, the deaf old lady's house should be handed over to the Yi family, which means it will belong to the Jia family.

What Jia Dongxu is excited about is tonight's event, which may speed up the progress.

If we can seize this opportunity, for example, if the deaf old lady's godson comes again and reports to the police station directly, we might be able to take the house from the deaf old lady in advance.

It can only be said that in the face of interests, many people forget the risks behind it.
