Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Yan Bugui ignored the gazes of others and walked into the house. Deep down, he was unwilling to pay, but under the current situation of Banggeng, he probably had no choice but to pay.

Not only the people in the hospital, but even the steel mill may have to show their support. In this era, solidarity and mutual assistance are a must. If you don't lend a hand to others when they are in trouble, it means that you are not conscious enough and may make a big mistake.

Alas, there is nothing we can do about having a neighbor like Qin Huairu!

Yan Bugui squatted down and took out a ceramic jar for pickling pickles from a jar under the bed. He blew away the dust on the lid and fumbled out a pair of worn underwear from it. After unbuttoning it, he found a pair of worn socks inside. After opening the socks, he found a stack of banknotes inside.

"One cent, two cents, three cents..." Yan Bugui counted several times, and under the urging of the third aunt, he reluctantly returned to bed.

Tomorrow, part of this money will no longer belong to him, which makes his heart feel like being stabbed by needles.

Yan Bugui took out a 10-jin quilt from the cupboard. He could cover himself with it and cry at night without worrying about disturbing Yan Jiefang.

Just as he lay down and covered himself with the quilt, he heard Yan Jiefang's sorrowful voice from next door: "My Yu Li, my Cuihua..."

The next morning, the neighbors had just gotten up, some were brushing their teeth, some were washing their faces, and some were teaching their children.

"Everyone gather in the middle of the yard. Banggeng needs money for hospitalization. Let's all contribute!" Yi Zhonghai called everyone together for a meeting.

There was only one theme, which was to donate money to Qin Huairu's family. Yi Zhonghai took the lead and donated 20 yuan, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui each donated 5 yuan. Most of the others donated 30 cents, 50 cents, and the most was 1 yuan. He Yuzhu ignored He Yushui's dissuasion and donated 10 yuan in the name of his brother and sister. To him, Banggeng was like his half son, and now that he was in trouble, he had to donate more.

When it was Li Weidong's turn, he discussed with Yu Li and decided to donate ten yuan, just like He Yuzhu. Donating too much is meaningless, and donating too little is easy to cause gossip. Li Weidong grew up in a courtyard house and knew the habits of his neighbors. They liked to give alms. And Qin Huairu would definitely come to them privately, and then they would ask for donations again, so it was better to be careful.

When it was Xu Damao's turn to donate, he was reluctant but still gritted his teeth and donated ten yuan. He just wanted to not lose to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu had been making sarcastic remarks just now. How could Xu Damao lose to him? Yan Bugui counted the total amount of donations, announced it in front of everyone, and handed the money to Yi Zhonghai, asking him to take it to the hospital and give it to Qin Huairu.

When Yi Zhonghai arrived at the hospital, Qin Huairu was sitting outside the ward, and Jia Zhangshi was sitting opposite her with a blank expression and empty eyes. Xiaodang and the Huaihua sisters were squatting on the ground playing with stones, and their laughter echoed in the corridor. Yi Zhonghai adjusted his expression and walked over.

"Qin Huairu, sister-in-law of the Jia family." Qin Huairu looked up when she heard the voice, and Jia Zhang just glanced at Yi Zhonghai indifferently. Yi Zhonghai didn't mind, handed the donation to Qin Huairu and said: "This is the concern of the neighbors for you, you can use it to pay for Banggeng's medical expenses. I have asked Liu Haiyang to go to the factory, and I guess the factory staff will come to deal with it soon." At this point, he sighed and continued: "Since things have happened, you have to think more open-mindedly. When Xiaodang and Huaihua grow up, you can consider asking them to recruit sons-in-law. When the children are born in the future, choose one to be adopted by Banggeng, so that he will have someone to rely on in his old age."

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, but she didn't think too much about it at the moment. She just said simply, "Uncle Yi, thank you."

Ever since Yi Zhonghai showed up, Jia Zhang's eyes had been fixed on the money in his hand. Seeing Qin Huairu taking the money, her eyes moved quickly, and she had already made a plan in her mind. She took the initiative to stand up and said, "My dear wife, Banggeng is about to wake up. You stay here with him, and I'll go to pay the bill."

The money seemed like a lot, and there might be some left after paying the fees. Wouldn't that mean it all went into Jia Zhang's pocket? Although Qin Huairu was anxious because of Bang Geng's injury, she was still sensitive enough to notice Jia Zhang's abnormality. She cursed in her heart that this old woman was still calculating the money when Bang Geng was in such a state. She stood up and said to Jia Zhang with a smile, "I'll go, Mom. You stayed up all night last night. You should take a good rest now."

"I'll go. I'm in good spirits and no problem." Jia Zhang insisted.

The two were arguing outside the ward, and the patients' families in the corridor all felt very strange. The cashier's office was in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital, just a few steps away, so why did they have to give in? Yi Zhonghai understood the reason, rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, and thought about the future of the Jia family.

When Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were arguing, Bang Geng woke up. He found himself lying in the hospital, bewildered: "Grandma, Mom, what happened to me? Why am I here?" Qin Huairu saw Bang Geng wake up, and without caring about entanglement with Jia Zhang, she rushed into the ward and came to Bang Geng's side.

She said to Bang Geng with a bitter face: "My poor child, why did you cut that off?" Then she asked Bang Geng what his future plans were. Bang Geng remembered what happened before, lifted the quilt, and found that it was indeed gone, and he was delighted.

He thought: After I am discharged from the hospital, I will find a stick to practice the swordplay. Then I will be invincible. In the ward, Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng and smiled foolishly. She asked him in surprise: "Bang Geng, why did you cut off your thing?"

"I..." Bang Geng stopped talking in the middle of his sentence. He couldn't reveal the fact that he was practicing **. If people knew about it, they would castrate themselves to catch up, and then his competitive advantage would be gone. Seeing his silence, Jia Zhang guessed that there must be something behind it, so she came over and put her hand on his shoulder to ask.

Yi Zhonghai was also shocked when he heard this, thinking that Jia Zhang might cause trouble for Bang Geng. But Bang Geng was unwilling to reveal this secret, so he answered with a stiff upper lip: "No one has forced me, but I personally feel that I no longer need it, so..."

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were so shocked when they heard what he said that their eyes widened: "That's your important lifeblood. How are you going to live without it?" Banggeng replied calmly: "Xiaodang and Huaihua don't have that thing either, but they are still alive and well. Don't tease me!"

For a moment, Qin Huairu didn't know how to respond. At this time, the doctor came in to change the dressing for Banggeng. After hearing their conversation, his face suddenly became very ugly. He said to Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang: "Your behavior just now is likely to affect the patient, do you know? Although it has happened, it is meaningless to investigate the cause. The key is to make him cooperate with the treatment. Without that, it does not mean that he cannot live." The two nodded silently.

After Qin Huairu paid for the medicine, she felt that something was wrong. Banggeng was a very healthy young man, how could he do such a thing? He had been using his thing since he was a child, and it didn't take up too much space, so how could it be in the way? Someone must be behind this. Although she couldn't go to the ward to ask Banggeng directly, she decided to go to the school to take a look.

Although Banggeng was injured at school, if it was not related to this incident, the school would have to bear some responsibility. Let's take a look at it again. The fees paid yesterday were just the beginning. According to the doctor, Banggeng will need to stay in the hospital for a while, which will definitely cost more money. Qin Huairu told Jia Zhang some instructions, asking her to take good care of Banggeng, and then went to school angrily.

It was just after school, and most of the students had already left the campus. Ran Qiuye was about to go home with her schoolbag on her back. As soon as she reached the door, it was suddenly kicked open from outside.

When Qin Huairu walked in, Ran Qiuye immediately asked with concern: "Bang Geng's mother, how is Bang Geng doing now?"

"Tsk, you still have the nerve to ask this!" Qin Huairu spat fiercely on the ground and glared at Ran Qiuye: "As the head teacher of Banggeng, how can you watch such a thing happen to Banggeng? If you are such a head teacher, what is the point of you?"

Ran Qiuye was almost in tears after being scolded by her: "No, Banggeng's mother, you probably don't know that when this happened, Banggeng committed suicide with a knife in the men's bathroom. It's true that I'm the class teacher, but I can't just stand guard at the door of the men's bathroom, right?"

"Tsk, with your level of awareness, you can be the class monitor? No matter what, the incident happened in school, and I will take responsibility for the school." Qin Huairu was determined not to say anything more about the facts, and she was unwilling to joke with Ran Qiuye.

After hearing her words, Ran Qiuye's heart sank.

Her parents are senior intellectuals who returned from overseas, and her family is not wealthy.

She tried her best to become a glorious teacher.

If the school puts the blame on her after this incident, she will most likely be expelled from school.

Ran Qiuye loves the profession of teacher from the bottom of his heart and enjoys educating children to learn knowledge.

"Bang Geng mom, you can't be so illogical and make up stories!"

"How can I be so unreasonable? My son is lying in the hospital and can't move, and you still want to evade responsibility. I see that you look innocent and kind, but you are so vicious in your heart! You better be careful, you will never get married."

Qin Huairu's words were like sharp knives, and Ran Qiuye was gentle and docile, so she was no match for her. After a few hits, she could only squat on the ground and cry silently.

"Cry! Even if you cry your heart out, you still have to take the responsibility for Banggeng's incident! Hey, Uncle San, now that you're here, make Boss Ran admit his mistake!"

Yan Bugui finished his class and waited until all the students had left before cleaning the classroom. Unexpectedly, he saw Qin Huairu and Ran Qiuye arguing.

After listening to a few sentences, he got a general idea of ​​the situation.

Qin Huairu seems to be righteous, but in fact she is just a greedy person who is obsessed with money.

She thought the school was like a courtyard where she could do whatever she wanted.

Sympathizing with the weak is not entirely equivalent to being reasonable.

He walked into the office and interrupted Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, what do you want to do?"
