Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

The next day, Qin Huairu got up early, packed up her things, handed the child to Aunt Yi, and went to the hospital. She told Jia Zhang that Sha Zhu agreed to write a letter of apology but required a large sum of money as compensation.

Jia Zhang was very happy when she heard this, and she stopped staying in the hospital. Her condition was not that serious to begin with. She had just thought that if Sha Zhu was hospitalized, she would also be hospitalized with him, so that she could pay less compensation.

After the doctor came to check on Jia Zhang's condition, he prescribed some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs, and told Jia Zhang not to use his right hand for activities in the near future, and to come back to the hospital for a follow-up check-up in a week.

After Qin Huairu bought the medicine, she completed the discharge procedures for Jia Zhang. Jia Zhang rarely called a rickshaw to return to the courtyard.

"Old Yi, that damn idiot Sha Zhu has agreed to write a letter of apology!"

Yi Zhonghai also walked out from the inner room. It was still early and he had not gone to work yet.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you are discharged from the hospital? That's great. Let's go to the hospital to find Sha Zhu."

"Old Yi, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious. Sha Zhu agreed with conditions. He asked for two thousand yuan in compensation." Jia Zhang blinked her little eyes and stared at Yi Zhonghai.

"Hiss," Yi Zhonghai took a breath, "It seems that Jia Zhang wants to pay for it herself! To be honest, he has the money, but two thousand yuan is not a small amount after all. This is the money they have saved for their retirement."

"Sister-in-law, can we talk to Zhuzi and reduce the amount of money? You see, your family's conditions are not very good." Yi Zhonghai pretended to be confused.

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and was about to start cursing, but Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, pulled her back.

"Mom, saving Dongxu is important."

Only then did Jia Zhang stop what she was doing and stood aside without saying anything.

"Uncle Yi, you know our family's situation. We really can't come up with this money. Can you lend us some for emergency? I can write you an IOU." Qin Huairu said.

"Qin Huairu, what are you borrowing for? Why are you writing an IOU? As long as Old Yi pays this money, I will agree to let Dongxu recognize you as his godfather and take care of you in your old age." Jia Zhang said.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a long time. Dongxu was a good kid usually, obedient and filial. He just made some mistakes in excitement this time. If it was just a fight, the factory would definitely not fire him. If he took a long leave from work, then the matter might not be concealed.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's do this, but let's be frank, we have to sign a written agreement."

In fact, Yi Zhonghai wanted to get back the confession he wrote, but he didn't ask for it because he thought Jia Zhang would not agree. But it was not bad. Through the written document, the two families became one. He believed that Jia Zhang was not stupid enough to make things difficult for him.

When Jia Zhang saw this situation, she knew that Yi Zhonghai would get angry if she pressed him any further, so she nodded and agreed.

Yi Zhonghai immediately went back to the inner room, took out a pen and ink, sat at the table and quickly wrote three documents and signed his name. It said that Yi Zhonghai lent 2,000 yuan to the Jia family, and Jia Dongxu needed to recognize Yi Zhonghai and his wife as his godfather and godmother, and be responsible for providing for the old couple until the end of their lives. If there was any violation, the debt would be returned in full.

"Sister-in-law and Huairu, please write your names as well." Yi Zhonghai read the document again.

"I, I can't write."

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if it's ugly. You can take your time. I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Jia Zhang had no choice but to write her name crookedly, and Qin Huairu followed suit.

"There is also a fingerprint. Press it on the name." Yi Zhonghai took the lead in demonstrating.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu also put their fingerprints on the document one after another.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the three written documents, thought about it and felt that it was still a little unsafe as there was still a witness missing!

At this time, Xu Damao was pushing his bicycle to work and passing by the Central Courtyard, and was seen by Yi Zhonghai.

"Xu Damao, Uncle Yi wants to ask you a favor. Can you come over and be a witness?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

As soon as Xu Damao saw this situation, he knew what was going on. He was the one who dug this pit with his own hands. Once Jia Dongxu died, Yi Zhonghai would fall into the Jia family's big pit.

"Hey, what's the point of begging? I'm the third uncle in the courtyard now, and it's my duty to be a witness for the people in the courtyard." Xu Damao parked his bicycle and walked over. He Yushui, who was in the house, also came out when he heard Xu Damao's voice.

Xu Damao took a look at the contents of the document, then happily took the pen, wrote his name and put his fingerprint on it.

Yi Zhonghai was relieved. He was afraid that the crazy woman Jia Zhang would deny her debt later. "Come on, let's keep one for each of the three families. I'll go get the money." At this time, everyone was willing to hide the money at home.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai took out the money and wanted to take Jia Zhang to the hospital to find Sha Zhu.

"Uncle Yi, just give me the money directly. My brother's letter of apology was written yesterday. You can give me the money and take the letter of apology to the police station." He Yushui on the side took out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to everyone.

A few people came over to take a look and saw that it was indeed a letter of apology written by Sha Zhu, which stated that he and Jia Dongxu had only fought on impulse, and that Jia Dongxu would not be held responsible, etc. There was also Sha Zhu's signature and fingerprint on it.

"Old Yi, hurry up!" Jia Zhang urged Yi Zhonghai while looking at the letter of apology.

Although Yi Zhonghai was reluctant, he still handed the money to He Yushui, "Two thousand yuan in total, you count it."

He Yushui counted the money and nodded, "Okay, the money is no problem, I'll give you this letter of understanding."

Yi Zhonghai was about to take it, but Jia Zhangshi, who was standing beside him, got there first. Jia Zhangshi folded the letter of apology and put it in her pocket, saying, "Old Yi, we are all women, and we still need your help in this matter!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded. He had already helped so much, so he didn't mind making another trip. He said, "Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. I'll go get something and come right back."

Yi Zhonghai walked into the inner room, took out the receipt and handed it to Lan's wife, "Sufen, keep this paper. Our future support will depend on it. I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to pick up Dongxu first."

Wang Sufen nodded, stood up and quickly hid the receipt.

Qin Huairu took the two children back to Jia's house, while Yi Zhonghai went to the police station with Jia Zhangshi. After handing in a letter of apology, Yi Zhonghai paid a fifty-yuan fine for Jia Dongxu, and the police station released Jia Dongxu.

Jia Zhang looked at her son's haggard face and couldn't help but say, "Son, you've suffered so much in there. It's all because of your useless mother!"

"Mom, let's stop talking for now. Let's go back first." Jia Dongxu was somewhat resentful towards his mother. If his mother hadn't asked him to beat Sha Zhu, things wouldn't have turned out like this.

"Dongxu is right. Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly and don't let others laugh at us." Yi Zhonghai also advised.

"Let's go home, Dongxu, let's go home first."
