Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 344 A woman's voice came from outside the door

Liu Haizhong coughed for a long time before he recovered. He waved his hands weakly, signaling Sha Zhu to help him up. Sha Zhu hurried forward, carefully helped him up, and let him lean against the head of the bed.

"Silly Zhu," Liu Haizhong said in a hoarse voice, "I... I want to go home..."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment. He knew that Liu Haizhong’s current condition was not suitable for discharge from the hospital, but looking at the deep despair and longing in the old man’s eyes, he really couldn’t bear to refuse.

"Uncle, you are still very weak. The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time..."

"No, I don't want to stay here..." Liu Haizhong interrupted Sha Zhu, "I want to go home... I want to die in my own bed..."

Sha Zhu was silent. He knew that Liu Haizhong was disheartened. These two unfilial sons had completely broken his heart.

"Okay, Uncle Er," Sha Zhu sighed, "I'll go talk to the doctor right away."

When the doctor heard that Liu Haizhong was going to be discharged, he was naturally against it. But Liu Haizhong was determined and even threatened to die, so the doctor finally had no choice but to agree.

Sha Zhu helped Liu Haizhong complete the discharge procedures, then called a tricycle to take him back to the courtyard.

After returning home, Liu Haizhong lay on the bed, not saying a word, just staring blankly at the ceiling. Sha Zhu knew that he must be feeling very uncomfortable.

"Uncle, are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat." Sha Zhu asked softly.

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said nothing.

Sha Zhu sighed and walked out of the room. He came to the yard and saw Yi Zhonghai sitting at the door smoking with a gloomy face.

"Uncle, why are you sitting here?" asked Sha Zhu.

"What else can I do?" Yi Zhonghai said unhappily, "It's all because of your second uncle! These two unfilial sons really piss me off!"

Sha Zhu nodded. He knew that Yi Zhonghai had always cared about Liu Haizhong.

"Uncle No. 1, don't be too angry," Sha Zhu advised, "Uncle No. 2 needs to rest now. If you get angry again and get sick, there will be no one to take care of him."

Yi Zhonghai sighed, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot. "You're right, Shazhu, I have to calm down. These two unfilial sons will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"

In the following days, Sha Zhu visited Liu Haizhong's home every day, cooked for him, and chatted with him. Liu Haizhong's health improved day by day, but his mental state was still very bad. He rarely spoke, and his face always had a deep loneliness and sadness.

Sha Zhu saw it with his own eyes and felt pain in his heart. He knew that the wound in the center of his bangs would not heal in a short time.

One night, Sha Zhu prepared a meal and brought it to Liu Haizhong's room. Liu Haizhong was lying on the bed, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

"Uncle, it's time to eat." Sha Zhu said softly.

Liu Haizhong slowly turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Silly Zhu," he said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time..."

"Second uncle, what are you talking about?" Sha Zhu said with a smile, "We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Liu Haizhong shook his head, "No, Shazhu, I know that your kindness to me is not just ordinary neighborly love..."

Shazhu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Liu Haizhong meant.

Liu Haizhong sighed and continued, "Shazhu, I...I want to leave my house to you..."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was shocked. "Second uncle, what are you talking about? How can this be possible!"

"Shazhu, listen to me," Liu Haizhong grabbed Shazhu's hand, his eyes full of pleading, "I can't rely on my two sons. After I die, they will definitely sell my house, divide the money, and go their separate ways. I don't want my house to fall into their hands... I want to leave it to you... I know you will take good care of it..."

Sha Zhu looked at Liu Haizhong's pleading eyes, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't know what to do.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" asked Sha Zhu.

"It's me, Qin Huairu." A woman's voice came from outside the door.

Sha Zhu opened the door and saw Qin Huairu standing at the door with a basket in her hand.

"Sister Qin, why are you here?" Sha Zhu asked.

"I came to see the Second Master," Qin Huairu said, "and bring him some food."

Sha Zhu quickly moved aside to let Qin Huairu in. Qin Huairu walked to the bed and put the basket on the bedside table.

"Second uncle, how do you feel?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.

Liu Haizhong looked at Qin Huairu, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. "Huairu, you're here..."

Qin Huairu nodded and smiled. "Second uncle, take good care of yourself and don't think too much."

Liu Haizhong suddenly grabbed Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Huairu, I...I want to leave my house to you..."

Sha Zhu watched from the side, stunned.

Qin Huairu's words were like a bolt from the blue, and Sha Zhu was completely stunned. He looked at Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu in disbelief, feeling that his mind was in a mess.

"Second uncle, what...what did you just say?" Sha Zhu asked stutteringly.

Liu Haizhong tightly grasped Qin Huairu's hand, as if grasping a life-saving straw. "Huairu, I...I want to leave my house to you...Are you willing to accept it?"

Qin Huairu showed a pleasant smile on her face. "Second uncle, I...of course I am willing!"

Sha Zhu felt as if his heart was cut by a knife, the pain was unbearable. He always thought that Liu Haizhong treated him like his own son, but he didn't expect that in the end, he left the house to Qin Huairu.

“Second Uncle, you…why are you…” Sha Zhu’s voice was trembling and he could hardly speak.

Liu Haizhong looked at Sha Zhu, his eyes full of apology. "Sha Zhu, I know you've been so good to me, and I remember it in my heart. But...but Huai Ru...she's a woman with three children, it's not easy...I...I have to consider her..."

Sha Zhu couldn't hold back his tears any longer. "Second Uncle, you...how could you do this to me..."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly said, "Shazhu, don't get me wrong, Second Uncle is doing this for my own good... I... I will take good care of Second Uncle..."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's hypocritical smile and felt even more uncomfortable. He knew that Qin Huairu approached Liu Haizhong not to take care of him, but for his house.

"Qin Huairu, stop pretending!" Sha Zhu roared, "Don't I know what you are thinking? You are just after Second Master's house!"

Qin Huairu's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Silly Zhu, you... you are slandering me!"
