Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chenhuadian is not acting rashly.

Many people knew that he came from a landlord family, and they stared at him like hungry wolves.

If he showed weakness at this moment, those people would definitely rush up without hesitation and tear him to pieces.

So, he must get the money back this time.

Of course, Chen Huadian would not be reckless. He would choose a capable gangster to do this job.

Chen Huadian thought of Xiao Qiuzi.

Xiao Qiuzi's original name is no longer traceable. Before liberation, he was a famous member of the Green Gang and was a good knife maker. After liberation, Xiao Qiuzi retired from the gang.

However, Chenhuadian has still forgotten how glorious Xiao Qiuzi was in the past.

He pondered for a moment, then pushed his half-worn bicycle toward a large compound in the suburbs of Beijing.

When they arrived at the compound, they saw an old lady sitting by the pool, scrubbing clothes vigorously. Chen Huadian walked up to her and asked politely, "Auntie, where does Xiao Qiuzi live?"

The old lady raised her head, looked at him with a puzzled look, and asked, "Xiao Qiuzi? Who is Xiao Qiuzi? I have lived in this courtyard for so long, and I have never heard of this person."

Chen Huadian was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to explain to the old lady who Xiao Qiuzi was.

Just then, a burly man walked in from outside.

Chen Huadian recognized him at a glance. Isn't this Xiao Qiuzi?
His eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Xiao Qiuzi!"

However, Xiao Qiuzi seemed not to have heard it. He looked straight ahead, pretending not to know him, and walked hurriedly towards the backyard without stopping.

Chenhuadian was not willing to give up and followed closely behind.

I saw Xiao Qiuzi enter a room, and Chen Huadian also quickly came to the door.

He just raised his hand and knocked on the door
With a squeak, Xiao Qiuzi rushed out from inside, his face full of anger, and threatened viciously: "Chenhuadian, I have retired now. If you dare to come to me again, don't blame me for being rude. Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

As Xiao Qiuzi spoke, he clenched his fists.
Chen Huadian was startled and quickly turned around and left.

But Chenhua Store did not give up.
He came to the pool in the middle courtyard, put a smile on his face again, and greeted the lady who was washing clothes.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you again. I just want to ask, who is the man I saw entering the room just now? He looks quite strong."

The old lady stopped what she was doing, looked up, and explained, "Oh, you mean him? His name is Xiao Qi. He's over 30 years old, but he's still single. He works odd jobs in a lumber mill. Although he doesn't earn much, he has a mother who's been sick for years. He's really filial to his mother. He's willing to do any job just to earn some money for her medical expenses."

Chen Huadian listened and nodded.

After hearing this, he already had an idea in his mind and knew how to deal with Xiao Qiuzi.

After the old lady finished speaking, he said with gratitude on his face: "Thank you so much, old lady, you have helped me a lot." After that, he turned around and left the slum with brisk steps.

At this time in Xiao Qiuzi's home, the small and dim room was filled with the aroma of food.

Xiao Qiuzi brought the prepared meal to the bedside and handed it to his mother who was lying on the bed.

The old mother took the bowl tremblingly, looked at the steaming food, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Son, mother is useless, this disease has dragged you down for so long.

If it weren't for mother, you wouldn't be still unable to get married and wouldn't even have someone to help you."

As I spoke, tears rolled down my cheeks and dripped into the bowl.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiuzi hurriedly sat down beside the bed and held his mother's hand: "Mom, don't think like that, you are the closest person to me in this world, and taking care of you is what I should do.

Your illness can definitely be cured. Didn’t the doctor say that as long as you take the medicine on time and keep a good mood, you will get better soon. "

But my mother was still immersed in her own thoughts and continued to nag: "I know my disease is difficult to treat. I have spent so much money and I don't know when it will end.

You work so hard outside every day, and when you come home you have to serve an old woman like me. I feel bad for you."

Xiao Qiuzi patted his mother's hand gently and said patiently: "Mom, don't worry about money. I am young and strong. I can earn more money by working harder.

Besides, I am willing to do anything as long as you can get better. Just focus on your recovery and leave the rest to me."

The old lady wanted to say something else, but just as she opened her mouth, she suddenly started to cough violently. The coughing sounded as if she was going to cough out all her internal organs, and it reverberated throughout the room. Xiao Qiuzi's smile froze on her face in an instant, her eyes full of anxiety and worry, and she hurriedly said, "Mom, don't talk yet, I'll get the medicine right away!"

He rushed to the table and frantically searched for the medicine bottle. In his haste, he almost knocked over the cup on the table.

After finding the medicine, Xiao Qiuzi quickly poured a glass of water, came to the bedside of my mother, carefully helped my mother up, handed the medicine to her mouth, and said softly: "Mom, take the medicine quickly, it will be fine after you take it."

I opened my mouth with difficulty and took the medicine, but there was no sign of relief. My breathing became more rapid, my chest heaved violently, and my face gradually turned blue and purple.

Xiao Qiuzi panicked: "Mom, hold on, hold on!"

He knew in his heart that his mother's illness was serious this time and there was no time to delay.

He stood up suddenly, rushed to the door, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Help! Is there anyone here? My mother is having a seizure, please help!"

Although Xiao Qiuzi used to hang out on the streets, he is very enthusiastic and popular in the compound.

After a while, several young men heard the shouting and ran over from all directions.

The tall guy in the lead asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Qiuzi was extremely anxious and spoke incoherently: "My mother...she is seriously ill, the medicine is useless, she can't breathe, hurry up, help take her to the hospital!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around the bed.

"Everyone, lend a hand, be careful and carry the old lady out."

Several people carefully lifted my mother onto the temporary door panel. Xiao Qiuzi followed closely beside her, constantly reminding her: "Go slowly, don't bump into my mother."

They trotted all the way and took my mother to the hospital.

Xiao Qiuzi paced back and forth at the entrance of the emergency room, staring at the closed door, and kept muttering: "Mom, you must be okay, you must be okay..."

Several young men who were helping stood by and comforted him: "Xiao Qiuzi, don't worry too much, Auntie will be fine."

Just at this moment, the door of the emergency room slowly opened and the doctor walked out.

Xiao Qiuzi rushed over like an arrow, staring at the doctor closely: "Doctor, how is my mother? What is her condition?"

The doctor took off his mask, looking a little tired but with a hint of relief: "Because he was sent to the hospital in time, his life is not in danger for the time being." Hearing this, Xiao Qiuzi's tense body relaxed instantly, and his voice was filled with deep gratitude: "Thank you so much, doctor, thank you so much."

However, before Xiao Qiuzi could recover from this brief joy,
The doctor's expression became serious again, and he continued, "However, your mother's condition has become more serious, and the previous conservative treatment has been difficult to control the condition.

If surgery is not performed promptly, the disease will recur in the future, and when it recurs, the situation will be even more dangerous and life-threatening at any time."

Xiao Qiuzi's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly became heavier again: "Doctor, is the success rate of the operation high?

How much will it cost?

The doctor thought for a moment and replied, "Surgery has certain risks, but with current medical technology, the probability of success is still relatively high. As for the cost, the initial estimate is that it will cost a considerable amount, probably several hundred yuan, and this does not include the cost of postoperative rehabilitation."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiuzi's head buzzed. Several hundred dollars was an astronomical figure for him.

You have to know that he only earned 15 yuan a month as a temporary worker in the sawmill. Even if he worked his ass off and got full attendance every month, he only earned 17.5 yuan.

How can I possibly collect these 500 dollars?

In fact, when Xiao Qiuzi took his mother to see a doctor before, the doctor also suggested surgery, but he had no money.

But without the surgery, his mother would have died.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qiuzi gritted his teeth and said to the doctor: "Doctor, I want to perform surgery on my mother."

The doctor looked at Xiao Qiuzi and said, "You are not a formal employee and cannot enjoy public medical care. According to regulations, you need to pay first before you can arrange the surgery."

Xiao Qiuzi nodded vigorously: "I understand, doctor, I will go and collect the money right away."

Xiao Qiuzi returned to the compound with heavy steps.

He knew very well that the people living in this slum were all poor people who were struggling for life just like him, but at this moment, he had no choice.

He first went to the home of Brother Wang, with whom he had a pretty good relationship.

Brother Wang was repairing a worn-out bicycle in the yard. When he saw Xiao Qiuzi coming in, he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Xiao Qiuzi, what's wrong? You don't look well."

Xiao Qiuzi stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, I...I want to borrow some money from you.

My mother is very ill. The doctor said she must have surgery, otherwise...it will be dangerous."

After hearing this, Brother Wang showed a sympathetic look on his face: "Ah, Xiao Qiuzi, I know it's not easy for you. But you can see that my family is in such a bad situation. My children need money for school, and my elderly family members get sick from time to time. I really can't lend you any money. How about... I can give you a dollar or two, is that okay?"

Xiao Qiuzi felt a pang in his heart and nodded: "Okay, Brother Wang, thank you, one or two yuan is also a token of my appreciation."

Then, Xiao Qiuzi went to Aunt Li's house next door.

Xiao Qiuzi stepped forward and said, "Aunt Li, my mother is seriously ill and needs surgery. Can you lend me some money?"

Aunt Li raised her head and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, my family is not well off. Your eldest brother works in a factory and his salary is not high, and there are a lot of expenses at home.

But your matter is too urgent, so I will give you fifty cents, I hope it can be of some help."

Xiao Qiuzi took the wrinkled fifty cents and was speechless. He could only bow deeply to Aunt Li.

In this way, Xiao Qiuzi went from house to house to borrow money.

After one round, Xiao Qiuzi was exhausted and out of breath.

He returned home and carefully counted the money he had borrowed. It was only thirteen dollars in total. Compared with the several hundred dollars for the surgery, this amount was a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Qiuzi didn't blame the residents at all, as they also took out all the money they could.

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

Xiao Qiuzi stood up, opened the door, and saw that it was Chen Huadian standing outside.

His face instantly darkened: "What are you doing here? Get out of here right now!"

Chen Huadian was not in a hurry. With a seemingly kind smile on his face, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.
He shook the money in his hand and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, I already know that your mother is ill. Although I am not a wealthy man, I am kind-hearted and willing to help you."

There was a trace of struggle in Xiao Qiuzi's eyes. One hundred yuan was too attractive to him.

But he quickly regained his vigilance, stared at Chenhua Store, and asked, "Are you so kind? Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Chen Huadian was slightly stunned, then his smile widened, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Xiao Qiuzi, you are really smart and you understand everything at once.

Actually, it’s not that difficult, I just want you to help me teach a few people a lesson…”

"I've known for a long time that you had bad intentions! I tell you, I don't dare to do such a thing anymore." Xiao Qiuzi waved his hand and wanted Chenhuadian to get out.

Seeing this, Chen Huadian's smile instantly disappeared, replaced by a stern expression.
"Do you really not care about your mother anymore? She is lying in the hospital and urgently needs money for surgery, but you are being so arrogant. Do you think you can save her? Let me tell you, no one can help you except me now."

Xiao Qiuzi was stunned. Chen Huadian's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

Seeing that Xiao Qiuzi was wavering, Chen Huadian continued, “The people I want to teach a lesson to this time are not good people. They are people who cheated me of a large sum of money.

As long as you can help me get the money back, I will not only give you the hundred dollars, but I will also pay for your mother's surgery and the subsequent rehabilitation expenses."

As he spoke, he shook the money in his hand again.
Of course, Chen Huadian is not a fool. Xiao Qiuzi's mother's medical treatment will cost at least several hundred yuan, so he will not spend so much money.

However, as long as Xiao Qiuzi makes a move again, he will no longer have a say in the future.

In fact, Chen Huadian has had enough of the dormant days for so many years, and he really needs Xiao Qiuzi's helper.

Xiao Qiuzi hesitated.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked with difficulty: "Who do you want me to teach a lesson?"

Chen Huadian’s eyes flashed with a gleam of success, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said two names: “Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai.

These two people colluded with each other and cheated me of my betrothal money. I will never let them go. As long as you help me get the money back, I promise to fulfill my promise and let your mother get the best treatment. "

Xiao Qiuzi nodded: "Don't worry, these two people are just ordinary people. I will help you get the money back, but I need to do it my way, so it will take some time."

"I feel at ease when you do the job!" Chen Huadian raised the corner of his mouth.
