Scholars in the courtyard

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, Ran Qiuye had already taken the food out of the pot and laid it out.

There were too many people in the front yard just now. She looked in the yard for a while and couldn't hear clearly, so she went home to clean up the housework.

Yang Xiaotao peeled off an egg and put it in Ran Qiuye's bowl. He picked one up, rolled it on the table, and talked about what happened in the front yard while eating.

"What? Compensate so much?"

Ran Qiuye felt uncomfortable when she heard that the child was injured, but the compensation was so large that it was really unacceptable.

That's more than a thousand dollars. How can a small family have so much money these days?

"A little more is fine, it's not like we have to pay for one family."

Yang Xiaotao broke off the steamed buns and dipped them in chili sauce to eat. Stimulated by the spiciness, he ate faster.

"Say it again! If you don't teach them a lesson, the beating will hurt, and you might end up causing trouble again."

"You didn't look at it. Those two children were injured, their hands and feet were tied, and they were smeared with medicine. They were itching and uncomfortable. That feeling..."

Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Ran Qiuye felt the same way. Normally, it would be uncomfortable to itch in places that could not be scratched, let alone such a large area.

"I hope I can remember this lesson this time. Don't harm others."

"Who knows, but I think it's so cold today. If there's another wave of people here, we'll probably go bankrupt!"

"There will be others..."

"It's hard to say!"

Yang Xiaotao replied, and suddenly remembered something, "It's broken, I have to let people say hello, but I can't be implicated."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao put on his clothes and shoes, "Daughter-in-law, don't freeze at home. If you have anything to do in the courtyard, wait until I get back."

"I'm going out first!"

After saying that, he drove out and ran out.

"Oh, please slow down..."

In the backyard, Xu Damao returned home in high spirits. Lou Xiaoe waited for him to come back and asked what was going on.

Xu Damao said it again and again, and Lou Xiao'e was shocked when she heard it.

"Is this heater really broken?"

Xu Damao nodded affirmatively, "That's for sure, three people were burned!"

As he spoke, his eyes rolled again, "I think the heating furnace is going to be in trouble this time. If a good steel rolling mill doesn't process steel, how can it build a heating furnace? Let's see how they end up."

Speaking of this, a trace of cruelty flashed in Xu Damao's eyes, "Ezi, hurry up and eat, I'll go out later!"

Lou Xiao'e came to her senses and quickly hid her worries.

After the two of them finished eating, Xu Damao ran out, but before leaving, he still told Lou Xiaoe that no matter who came to borrow money, he was not allowed to give it to him.

Lou Xiao'e agreed that after Xu Damao left, she would clean up and go to the middle courtyard to find Ran Qiuye.

Zhongyuan, Yi Zhonghai's house.

At this moment, there were people on both sides of the room.

Sitting in the middle was Yi Zhonghai, holding a fire hook in his hand, looking at the stove in a daze. The aunt and Qin Huairu sat at the door, both of them silent.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on the kang with eyes wide open, her hands clasped together, her face trembling from time to time.

Beside her, Jia Dongxu also had a bad expression.

The three of them woke up one after another at home and looked at each other with heavy hearts.

After Jia Zhang finished digesting the thousand yuan, she blurted out that she should run away, leave the courtyard, leave Sijiu City, and find a place to hide in the countryside, so that she would not have to lose money.

But after saying this, Jia Zhang regretted it.

Qin Huairu on the side even made sarcastic remarks, where else could he run?

He was probably arrested before he even left Sijiu City.

Besides, after going to the countryside, will you go to work in the fields? Follow the brigade to dig soil?

Without the livelihood of the steel rolling mill, how can we survive?

Jia Dongxu also shook his head. Compensation is okay, but escape is definitely not okay.

Without a job, it would be better to die than live in these four-nine cities.

But they really don’t have so much money!

At this moment, the family came into the house and remained silent...

At the base of the wall, Silly Zhu squatted there, also bowing his head and saying nothing.

Now Yang Xiaotao's voice was still echoing in his ears, and he felt an unspeakable fear in his heart, fearing that someone would come to his door again.

Beside him, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian were also squatting, and they were silent, but their moods were different.

Yan Jiecheng discussed it with Yan Fugui and felt confident.

Liu Guangtian, on the other hand, has no clue at all.

Next to them are Liu Haizhong and his wife.

Liu Haizhong lay half on the chair, raising his head and shaking his chin from side to side, but did not make a sound.

Next to him was Yan Fugui, while the third aunt and Yu Li were waiting at home.

There were about ten people in the whole room, but no one spoke.

bang bang

Yi Zhonghai knocked the fire hook on the stove, and everyone turned their attention, and then heard Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"Don't be dumbfounded!"

"Things have happened, and the most important thing now is to get over it."

"Liu Laoer, you are also being looked at from the roof. This matter can't be solved, and you can't get better either!"

"Also, Lao Yan, you usually have a lot of scheming, so stop hiding it and say it quickly."

Yi Zhonghai called the names one by one and wanted to hear their opinions.

Liu Haizhong still didn't speak. In fact, he had been mentally prepared before coming here.

Knowing that is to collect money, but who has more and who has less can be clearly divided.

On the face of it, their family earned the most from the heating stove this time, but in fact, after his investigation, Jia Dongxu was still the biggest earner.

Moreover, if we really want to hold people accountable, there is something wrong with the materials Jia Dongxu produced.

No matter what, Jia Dongxu has to bear most of it.

The bangs center was paying attention and did not say anything, just waiting for everyone to speak.

Yan Fugui also had his own thoughts. They were just helpers here, and at worst, they would spit out what they ate in their mouths, just to teach them a lesson.

Therefore, Yan Fugui did not say much.

The room was still silent.

Yi Zhonghai called the names to no avail and felt depressed.

"Okay, don't even say yes."

Yi Zhonghai stood up and looked around, finally seeing Jia Dongxu.

I sighed in my heart, after all, it was the person I chose, so I had to help with this hurdle!

But how to help requires strategy.

Not only did you help, but you also wanted to make him feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Otherwise, why don't you feed the white-eyed wolf?

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly in his heart when he saw that no one had any intention of speaking.

Since he didn't say anything, why did he do this?

After all, this matter has nothing to do with him!

Yi Zhonghai slowly sat back down, "Since you don't want to say anything, it seems you all have your own ideas."

"I don't care about this matter anymore, you can just do it!"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he was about to see the guests off.

At the door, Qin Huairu immediately lost her temper. She came to their house this time to discuss it, just to ask Yi Zhonghai to help and let everyone chip in the money. It would be best if their family could spend less. If they broke up on bad terms, What about their family?

"Master, you are a highly respected master in the courtyard, so you cannot ignore this matter!"

"How can we people pay any attention? We're all waiting for you to make up your mind!"

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Dongxu, winked, and shouted to Silly Zhu who was squatting beside him, "Really, Zhu Zhu?"

As soon as Qin Huairu said it, Jia Dongxu and Shazhu immediately agreed.

"Yes, Master, you are usually in charge of all the big and small things in this yard, but now it's your turn to make the decision!"

"That's right, sir, don't talk nonsense. I'll do whatever you say."

Silly Zhu raised his head and said, knowing in his heart that the uncle would definitely not let himself suffer.

When Qin Huairu and others heard what Sha Zhu said, they looked at the others without any trace.

Yi Zhonghai still lowered his head, but he felt very relieved and wanted to get up and speak.

At this time, Yan Fugui suddenly sighed, shook his head and stood up.

"Blessings come from misfortunes!"

"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, I have something else to do, let's go first!"

After saying that, Yan Fugui got up and walked out. When passing by the door, Yan Jiecheng also quickly got up and followed him out.

Yi Zhonghai, Jia Jia and others were stunned.

Liu Haizhong's eyes flashed, he closed his eyes and sighed, "Forget it, that's it for today."

After saying that, he also got up and left with the second aunt and Liu Guangtian.

There were only three families left in the room, looking at each other even more deserted.

well!

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team!

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart.

After so many things, this courtyard is no longer the one that once united to advance and retreat together. Even the three uncles have begun to drift apart. There is a gap and they can't get along. How can we exert our strength?

Yan Fugui has been a shrewd person for many years, but he left when he saw that the situation was not going well.

Their family dared to leave because Yan Jiecheng worked for others. A helper could make him responsible for quality issues?

Yan Fugui saw through this and did not get involved.

Because in the final apportionment, not much will come to their house.

But can it be the same in your bangs?

Not only did someone in your family participate in the construction of the heating furnace, but also someone participated in the installation. The majority of the benefits belong to your family.

In this case, shouldn’t the person with more money bear the main responsibility?

If you don't think of a way quickly, why are you hiding?

Hands off the shopkeeper? Waiting to sit down?

Yi Zhonghai scolded Liu Haizhong in his mind for not having any ability and acting like an uncle.

No one in the room spoke.

Qin Huairu sat at the door. The other two families had left. The only one he could count on was Yi Zhonghai!

This is more than 1,000 yuan. If the four families are divided equally, each family will have to pay nearly 300 yuan. If their family pays so much money, it is not equivalent to cutting off their flesh.

Qin Huairu still wanted to say a few words, but Jia Zhang, who had her hands in her sleeves, spoke first, "Master, our family has no money!"

"In such a family, Huairu still has a baby in her belly, and Banggeng is still lying in bed. Our whole family depends on Dongxu to support us. We finally made some money, but it is not enough for daily expenses. We have to pay back the money. Not that much!”

As he spoke, Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes, "Besides, everyone is involved in this heating stove and has shared the money, so we should share it together anyway."

"Master, you are Dongxu's master, you can't just die without saving him! Otherwise, how can our family survive?"

As he spoke, he wiped his tears and observed Yi Zhonghai's movements.

Qin Huairu heard what Jia Zhang said and cursed a stupid pig in her heart.

It's obvious that I want to help, but if you still say that, aren't you chasing others away?

Can the desire to rush and the desire to seek be the same?

I just want to help, but you are chasing me away!

What a stupid pig.
