Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Yi Zhonghai glanced at her approvingly and said, "The total medical expenses will be fifteen dollars. Let's all chip in so that the hospital can arrange the surgery earlier."

"Of course, this donation is completely voluntary, and how much you donate is entirely up to your heart."

"I'll take the lead." Yi Zhonghai took out five dollars and put it into the donation box.

And motioned Liu Haizhong to follow.

Liu Haizhong spat out some melon seeds and simply ignored it.

This old bastard made a fuss about Director Wang last time, and the score hasn’t been settled yet.

It’s just a dream to think that he would stand up for himself!

Uh......

The situation suddenly froze and there was silence.

Everyone laughed secretly and thought that the bangs were cute for no reason.

Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart but his expression remained unchanged.

He glanced at Yan Fugui again. Well, there was no need to count on this guy. It was good enough if he didn't sabotage.

However, whatever you think will come true.

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Yan Fugui said in a deep voice: "Qin Huairu, before you donate, I have a question to ask you."

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement.

Yan Fugui held his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "The factory compensated 400 yuan for Dongxu's accident, and later your family received another 100 yuan for Banggeng's incident, a total of 500 yuan."

"Have you spent all this huge sum of money?"

This question expressed what everyone was thinking. No one is a fool. How could such a large sum of money disappear without a trace?

Everyone looked at Qin Huairu with burning eyes, waiting for her explanation.

Qin Huairu made a bitter face and stammered, "Everyone knows what happened in the past three years. My children didn't have enough food to eat, so I had to go out..."

"After all this time, there was no money left."

Everyone was stunned.

Damn! This spendthrift woman is willing to spend 500 yuan to exchange for high-priced food.

We are not a wealthy family, so what if we starve to death?

It turns out that he has run out of money at home and is looking for everyone to help him.

Although it was for the sake of the children, it was understandable, but they were unwilling to be the scapegoat. They would not donate even a penny of their own money to the Jia family.

Chapter 174 The Conference Ends in Disagreement

Yi Zhonghai quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Everyone, now is not the time to worry about this. Saving people is the most important thing first."

He looked around and said to someone, "Zhu Zi, your family has two working parents with high incomes, so you should express your opinion first."

Before Sha Zhu could speak, Liang Ladi secretly pulled him and said, "Uncle, let me discuss with Zhuzi and let the others come first."

Yi Zhonghai smiled back, "Okay! With this woman here, Datou will definitely have no chance."

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan and said with a smile: "Xiaofan, you are good at work and have strong abilities, so please show some appreciation."

Zhang Xiaofan did not refuse and donated ten cents in full view of everyone.

The character of the Jia family is really hard to praise. This is his greatest gift, and he can't give more.

Qin Huairu's eyes widened. Is this the only wealthy family in the courtyard?

Seeing that a big investor had placed a stake, others stepped forward one after another.

One cent, one cent, one cent... no more, some simply didn't donate.

Sun Dahu remembered the friendship of the Jia family. He donated five cents to their family and returned it double.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes twitched. This group of neighbors is so difficult to deal with!

It was quite different from what he expected.

Alas! We shouldn't have held this meeting. Now we are embarrassed.

As for Pei Guang, needless to say, he will not be in a good situation and might even be attacked back by others.

Pei Guang also stepped forward and donated a cent to show his gratitude.

But Qin Huairu stopped him directly, "Xiao Guang, my mother-in-law was injured because of the swing, shouldn't you be responsible for this?"

Pei Guang spread his hands and said calmly: "I have already said this before. The swing was originally made for our family to play with. I will not be responsible for any accidents. After all, I didn't ask Jia Zhangshi to play with it."

"If you didn't hear it, you can ask other people in the courtyard."

Sun Dahu: "Brother Guang did say that. I have played it several times before and nothing happened."

Zhang Xiaofan: "I heard that, too. That's the truth. It's like a person who kills someone with a knife he bought. Does that mean the seller should be held responsible for it?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Xiao Guang should not be held responsible for this." The neighbors echoed one after another. As expected of cultured people, what they said was pleasant to the ear.

Qin Huairu was speechless, but the medical expenses were far from enough. What should she do?

Following the general trend, almost every household donated money, totaling 5 yuan.

Just one-third of the medical expenses is far from enough.

Yi Zhonghai simply ignored Qin Huairu's pleading look. If he continued talking, he would almost lose face.

After hastily announcing the end of the meeting, he ran back home as if escaping.

Liu Haizhong smiled jokingly, "It's what I deserve! I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to have this day."

This is so embarrassing!

The others followed suit, fearing that they would be entangled by Qin Huairu, and scattered all at once.

Qin Huairu had empty eyes and stood there at a loss.

She began to resent the old hag in her heart. It would have been fine if she didn't share the pressure with her, but she just kept causing more trouble.

I can't live this day!

In a ward of Red Star Hospital.

After listening to the whole story, Jia Zhang groaned and almost vomited blood in anger.

Yi Zhonghai donated five dollars and the neighbors donated thirty-eight cents?

Is she, Jia Zhang, so hated by everyone?

Things have come to this point, with no other choice, Jia Zhang reluctantly tells the whereabouts of the ten dollars she had hidden.

Sure enough, outsiders are unreliable after all. Fortunately, she had a hidden trick.

otherwise......

This time it was Qin Huairu's turn to be so angry that she was bleeding. She had worked so hard for this family, but in the end, Jia Zhang was still playing tricks on her?

......

Two days later, a rustic girl came to the city.

Looking at the wide roads, the colorful buildings and the beautifully dressed people, I was intoxicated for a moment.

He looked around with a pair of big eyes, finding everything new and interesting.

So this is the life of city dwellers, so envious!

After asking along the way, she finally arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"Jingle Bell!"

Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a man and a woman riding bicycles slowly approaching her and stopping right beside her.

"Wow! This sister is so beautiful, like a fairy who has come down to earth." Her first feeling.

Pei Guang took a look at the girl and felt familiar with her.

Oh my god! Isn't this Qin Jingru?

She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with two pigtails, rough, hungry and yellow skin, and a skinny body. He almost didn't recognize her.

Her facial features are quite pretty, and if you raise her, she can become a pretty beauty.

He neither disliked nor liked this girl. A woman who hoped to get out of poverty through marriage was too utilitarian. After marriage, she worked hard and obeyed her husband.

This is already better than most women in later generations.

Maybe his current state of mind is still uncertain, but it has nothing to do with him anyway.

Looking at the large and small bags, it seems that they are planning to live here permanently? I guess there is no one in the Jia family to take care of the children, so they were pulled here to serve as soldiers.

Zhao Maimai asked doubtfully, "Little sister, are you here to look for someone?"

Qin Jingru grinned and said, "My name is Qin Jingru. I'm here to look for my sister Qin Huairu. She should live in this courtyard."

Uh......

When Zhao Maimai heard that it was a relative of the Jia family, she immediately stopped smiling.

The speed of change is like a storm, catching people off guard.

She said calmly, "Qin Huairu lives in the middle courtyard, just follow us in."

"Oh oh!" Qin Jingru was confused. She was smiling just now, but her expression changed instantly.

City people are so strange!

When they arrived at the central courtyard, Zhao Maimai pointed in the direction to Qin Jingru and then turned and left.

Looking at the two people's backs getting close to each other, Qin Jingru did not hide the envy in her eyes.

This family is so rich that they even have two bicycles, beautiful clothes, and soft skin...

At this moment, she made up her mind that she must marry into the city in the future.

She never wanted to live the hard life in the countryside again.

.........

Chapter 175 Recovery and Recruitment

With a creaky sound, the door of Jia's room opened and Qin Huairu came out holding two aluminum lunch boxes.

Looking at my cousin standing there in an idiot state, I was suddenly filled with surprise.

"Jingru, you're finally here. What are you daydreaming about?"

Qin Jingru came back to her senses and felt a little embarrassed. She reached out and touched her little face, which was burning hot.

Oh! I am so embarrassed to be thinking about getting married right now.

After entering the house, Qin Huairu poured a glass of water for her cousin and said with a smile: "Jingru, I asked you to bring some food home, you didn't forget it, did you?"

Qin Jingru lowered her head with an embarrassed look on her face, "Sister, I wanted to bring it with me, but my uncle said there was no extra food, so he took it all to the town to exchange for things."

Qin Huairu suddenly felt as if she had eaten ice in the coldest days of winter and her heart was chilled to the bone.

No wonder they often say that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, and no one will remember her feelings for her anymore.

She forced a smile and said, "Forget it, just clean up first and we'll be able to eat soon."

Looking at the small amount of steamed bread and corn porridge on the table, Qin Jingru couldn't help but say, "Sister, this is all we eat for dinner at home. It's not even enough to fill me up."

To be honest, it's not as good as my hometown in the village.

Qin Huairu sighed and said helplessly: "Jingru, the city's rations have not been restored yet, and they can't compare to the surplus in the village. You have to make do with it for now."

According to her observation, as the supply relationship of black market grain changes, grain prices have gradually tended to decline.

This made her more convinced that the day when the difficulties would end would not be far away.

Qin Jingru lowered her eyes and said nothing more.

Every time I see my cousin coming back home, she is always glamorous and generous, and I am so envious.
