Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 14

Backyard, Xu Damao's house

"Brother Jia, you can't say that. Firstly, I didn't say it. Secondly, you have no evidence. Thirdly, I didn't do anything. You still beat this person."

Facing Xu Damao, Jia Dongxu was no match at all and was filled with anger.

After struggling for a long time, Xu Damao reluctantly agreed to lend [-] to Jia Dongxu as a neighbor's help. In fact, Xu Damao hoped that Jia Dongxu could pay the money in time and settle the matter, so that he could calm down and feel at ease.

Jia Dongxu returned home dejectedly. Qin Huairu hadn't come back yet. He looked at the door and saw that the lights at Shazhu's house had been turned on.

Wait a minute, it's only twenty, and I'll have to find a big man soon. How much do I need to ask for?One hundred probably won't work. If this were the case, the old guy would feel that he had contributed too little, and he might not be willing to help.

Middle Courtyard, Shazhu’s House
"Sister Qin, why are you here?" Shazhu showed a hint of surprise, put on his shirt and opened the door.

"Come in quickly. I can still talk to you at the door. If you have anything to say, you can speak."

Silly Zhu bent over and let Qin Huairu into the main room. He followed behind, looking at the swaying figure and the smell of the wafting pancake, which was so charming.

Qin Huairu sat directly on the bed.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's getting late, so I'll keep the story short. Don't mind me. Our family is in trouble. My sister is the first one to think of asking you for help."

Silly Zhu understood that it was okay not to go to the Three Treasures Hall. This was a matter tonight and needed to be resolved urgently.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. What does Sister Qin have to do with us? It's impossible."

Sha Zhu raised his head, Qin Huairu was looking at him, his peach blossom eyes were watery, Sha Zhu seemed to be sunk in, and his head felt hot.

"Sister Qin, I know your family is in trouble. That little thing is so inhuman. You name it and I will definitely help."

"Don't you want to pay Xiao Zhu's family one hundred and seventy-seven? You also know the situation of our family. We really have no money, so we have no choice but to borrow it shamelessly."

"Look, brother Zhuzhu, can you lend me 50 yuan? We'll figure out the rest later." Qin Huairu stood up and slowly moved to Shazhu's side.

He gently grabbed Sha Zhu's hand and said, "Brother Zhu Zhu, if you don't help me, no one will help me."

Looking at the charming Qin Huairu, with a haggard look on her face and tears in her eyes, it makes people feel pity for her.

Silly Zhu was no longer vague, reluctantly took out his hand, rummaged in his pocket for a while, and found more than 20 pieces of large and small pieces. He took out a small hand towel from the cabinet, looked through it, nodded, hesitated for a moment, and handed it over. Gave it to Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, this is 36 yuan and eight cents, that's all. Last time..."

"Thank you Brother Zhuzhu. I still remember the 14 yuan that Xiaodang paid for medical treatment last time. I will pay you back together when I have the money."

Qin Huairu's face was full of joy, her smile was like a blooming peony, as beautiful as drops of beauty, but there were still tears in her eyes. She was so shaken that Silly Zhu was confused for a while, and he stepped forward and grabbed Qin Huairu's hand. It was so soft, and he couldn't help but rub it gently. Two times.

Qin Huairu smiled angrily and said, "Brother Zhuzi, thank you, sister. I have to get some more quickly. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he gently pulled out his hand and turned around to leave. Silly Zhu raised his hand and smelled it carefully for a while before he came to his senses and said, "It's bad, my sister will come back this week, and all the living expenses for the next month will be given to Qin Huairu."

Seeing Qin Huairu coming back, Jia Dongxu asked eagerly, have you got it?
"Si Zhu is only 36, give them all to me."

"Xu Damao just gave me twenty, which is not enough."

"My master is probably worth seventy or eighty yuan. I can't say it's more than 100. Otherwise, he'll be in trouble if he doesn't help."

"Daughter-in-law, let me go to the uncle, and you go to Zhu Xuefeng and ask him to make more concessions. Just say that you really have no money."

Now that everything is like this, can we still talk to Zhu Xuefeng?Qin Huairu expressed doubts. The last experience gave her a warning.

"It's more or less a thought for you to go out again. If something happens, wife, you go ahead and I'll go find the uncle."

The two went out again and split up.Jia Dongxu easily borrowed 70 yuan from Yi Zhonghai's family. He really couldn't ask for more, and he couldn't let anyone pay the big buck. There would probably be no next time.

It's close, but it should be about the same. If Zhu Xuefeng agrees to pay less, or let his wife pay more from her mother, that should be fine. Jia Dongxu thinks there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"Lao Yi, he just asked for eighty, so I asked him one more question, and he changed it to seventy. Can he get enough?"

"Honey, don't worry about it. My mother probably collected some money. Jia and Zhang should have a lot of money. When Lao Jia left, all the money was given to her. The gift money she received for doing things alone was 100. many."

"Forget it, go to bed, it's getting late." Yi Zhonghai's headache got better and he took the time to sleep.

Front yard, Zhu Xuefeng’s house

Qin Huairu sat timidly on the chair, while Zhu Xuefeng leaned against the kang.

Qin Huairu is supposed to be the mother of two children, and Banggen is eight years old. Especially since their family probably doesn't have enough food or clothing, but her face is quite plump, with rosy lips, and her facial features are still delicate.

There is no trace of family difficulties at all. Although she is pregnant now, she is not out of shape at all. She does not look like the mother of two children. No wonder Silly Zhu is stuck in it and cannot extricate himself.

"Sister Qin, there is no need to discuss this matter. You have also seen that the initial treatment costs are real money. I gave you a lot less."

"Don't talk about what will happen in the later stage. If you don't pay enough, I won't have enough money for treatment in the early stage. How can you ask me to give you more concessions?"

Zhu Xuefeng was very upright and refused to give in. Qin Huairu's skills were ineffective on him, so he had to return to Jia's house disappointed.

I wanted to give Qin Huairu a few words, but after thinking about it, I decided to let it go. Now is not the time. It's too early to say it. People will be bored. Besides, you still have to observe whether he is that kind of person.

Now it seems that this little daughter-in-law actually doesn't have any serious problems. The situation of taking advantage of her has not yet appeared. It should be that the situation has not worsened yet.

After a lot of effort, Zhu Xuefeng didn't agree to give in, so it was a bit troublesome, and Jia Zhang had to get another fifty.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu and pursed his lips in the direction of Jia Zhang.

Looking at Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu understood what the man was thinking. There was nothing she could do, she really couldn't count on her man when something happened.

It's a pity that Mrs. Jia Zhang refused to say anything and asked for money. She finally said, it's so late, why bother? It will be the same tomorrow morning. Isn't it possible for the person named Zhu to go to the hospital to see a doctor at night?

After listening to Jia Zhang's words, Jia Dongxu still felt that what his mother said made sense, and he was relieved. Indeed, it was not an emergency. Who went to the hospital at night and lay down peacefully.

.........

The next day, Sunday, Zhu Xuefeng rode his bicycle straight to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill at dawn.

There were no people on the road in the early morning. There were only a few sanitation workers cleaning the streets, and a few sanitation garbage transport trucks making a loud noise on the road.

Arriving at the gate of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, the guard in the duty room had just finished his shift. Zhu Xuefeng said he was here to report a crime, and was then taken to the security department.

Public security management at this time was very unique. There were police stations in the society, and each major unit had its own security department, which was responsible for the security of the unit and could also manage the security of the unit's family area.

The power is more powerful than that of the police station. They need people, people, and cars, and the weapons are extremely powerful. Semi-automatic and light machine guns are common. Key units also have anti-aircraft machine guns, and some also have small cannons.

The steel rolling mill is a department-level unit directly under the industrial control, which is a higher level, so the security department is also improving, with well-staffed and well-equipped personnel.

Management is also very strict. We work normally during the day and patrol at night to prevent sabotage. After all, it is a key unit. Overtime shifts at night must be led by cadres. In fact, this system is still implemented decades later.

Section Chief Ma of the Security Section was in charge last night. He just got off work and has not returned yet. Section Chief Ma personally received Zhu Xuefeng, understood the situation according to the procedures, checked the injuries, and left all the receipts as physical evidence.

After signing the materials and fingerprinting, Section Chief Ma asked Zhu Xuefeng to go first, saying that the security department's personnel would be there in a minute.
