The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 45 The final conclusion
Liu Hua readily gave the white envelope of two dollars. Death is the greatest thing. Besides, he had no conflicts with Jia Dongxu or the entire Jia family, and everything was done according to custom.

Jia Zhang fainted from crying twice yesterday. She lost her husband when she was young and her son when she was middle-aged. Liu Hua now understands why Jia Zhang is so annoying in TV dramas.

Everything was forced out. Born in the old society, she had never enjoyed what was called happiness. She had also experienced two such great hardships in her life. Most people would have collapsed long ago. It was not easy for Jia Zhang to recover.

Yi Zhonghai took care of the entire funeral. When the coffin was being closed, Jia Zhang lay on it and refused to let it be closed.

Yi Zhonghai persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this. I know you are sad and you are reluctant to let him go, but the most important thing is to let Dongxu rest in peace."

Jia Zhang pointed at Yi Zhonghai's nose and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you son of a bitch, I handed my son to you and you told me this. My son is dead and I have no hope in this life."

Facing Jia Zhang's yelling and cursing, Yi Zhonghai did not argue. He certainly knew that it was not his fault. He had taught her everything he should have taught, but Jia Dongxu still died. This was fate. He felt no less heartbroken than Jia Zhang.

After a busy day, Jia Dongxu was finally laid to rest. After returning to the compound, everyone was tired and hungry. They ate a few bites and went back to their rooms.

After Liu Hua washed up, he was ready to rest, but there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

Then he saw the door being pushed open, and Yi Zhonghai was holding a bottle of wine in one hand and a small paper bag in the other: "Hua Zi, thank you for troubling me today. Please drink a few sips with me. You should also drink some wine to relieve your fatigue."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "That's strange. Under normal circumstances, you should go to Sha Zhuer for a drink. We are not that close."

"I need to ask you something."

Liu Hua nodded: "That makes sense, otherwise I really wouldn't dare to drink this wine."

Liu Hua took two glasses and poured a little into each of them. He opened the small paper bag and found five-spice peanuts inside. Yi Zhonghai apologized and said, "I came in a hurry and didn't find any snacks to go with the wine at home. This is the only bag of peanuts. Please don't despise it."

"Don't mind. Peanuts and white wine are a perfect match."

The two clinked glasses, Liu Hua ate a peanut, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, just tell me what you want to know. What is it?"

"Some colleagues came to pay their respects today." Yi Zhonghai asked cautiously, "They said that when Dongxu was sent to the hospital, your technical department went to check the machine tool?"

Liu Hua nodded: "Yes, we did check it. Isn't this a safety issue? We need to find out where the mistake was made so that similar accidents can be avoided in the future."

Yi Zhonghai echoed, "That's right. Have you found out the cause?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "After an overall inspection, there is no fault with the machine tool. After our initial judgment, it may be that the fixture is not tightened. We also asked colleagues around us, and according to their responses, Jia Dongxu was a little distracted when he was at work."

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. He didn't know what to say. After a long while, he said, "This is all fate!"

"Don't talk nonsense, uncle." Liu Hua waved his hand: "Your statement is suspected of feudal superstition."

Yi Zhonghai sighed: "I know, but I dare not say it out loud. Since your investigation results show that Dongxu's inattention caused the accident, I don't know this..." "I understand, I understand." Liu Hua said quickly: "You are afraid of affecting your pension and job inheritance, right?"

"Yes."

"This is our preliminary judgment, and there is no actual evidence." Liu Hua shook his head: "So it can't be blamed on Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu was not focused when he was working, so he was mainly responsible. But it also shows that the workshop leaders did not manage well."

Liu Hua took a sip of wine and continued, "So the factory will have to provide a lot of compensation, but your workshop director will probably have to bear the brunt of the consequences. I think you should think of a way to balance things out for your director. After all, he probably won't have any hope of getting promoted in the next few years."

Yi Zhonghai pressed his temple: "I understand, thank you very much."

"You don't have to be polite. I didn't do anything. Everything was done according to the rules and regulations." Liu Hua thought for a moment and then persuaded: "To put it bluntly, Jia Zhang is a tough guy. I'm afraid that if he is not satisfied with the pension, he will go to the factory to make trouble. You have to stop him then."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the Jia family and sighed, looking very embarrassed.

Liu Hua pointed out: "Although the circumstances of the accident are not absolute, the analysis report is in the hands of the factory leaders. If Jia Zhang makes a scene and embarrasses the leaders, it does not mean that we cannot handle the matter impartially."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized: "Okay, I will definitely stop her."

Liu Hua drank a little of the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "Uncle, let's stop here. I'm still young and can't drink much. You've been tired all day, so you should rest early."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the bottle to Liu Hua: "Keep this wine for yourself. Thank you for your trouble."

The next day, Director Yang, Li Huaide and workshop director Guo Dapiezi all came to the Jia family and presented them with pensions, funeral expenses and so on.

As far as Liu Hua knew, the one-time payment was no less than 500 yuan, and the work station was reserved for their family. Before taking over, everyone in their family could receive basic living expenses.

Of course, this situation was only known to the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai, because when the factory leaders came, everyone else had already gone to work.

At lunchtime, Sha Zhu said worriedly, "Once Jia Dongxu leaves, how will the whole family survive?"

"Don't worry about it." Liu Hua pointed out to him, "The organization can't have thought of anything you can think of. The relevant policies have already been arranged. There is no need for you to worry about it. Your top priority now is to get married quickly."

When it comes to marriage, Sha Zhu's eyes light up: "My partner and I are getting along pretty well, I plan to find time to propose."

Liu Hua suddenly asked, "The elders are present at the marriage proposal, how are you going to arrange it? Don't forget, before you get married, don't let other people in the courtyard know, otherwise it will easily fail."

"I remember it." Sha Zhu said with a smile: "I have already met my father-in-law and told him my specific situation. His family is quite understanding. A matchmaker is enough."

Liu Hua smiled and said, "You really have a good father-in-law."

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "Don't worry. When you drink water, don't forget the well digger. When I get married, I'll ask my wife to introduce you to a partner. There are plenty of female workers in their textile factory."
