Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

When the smoke and dust cleared, Yan Bugui and his men went in and saw Jia Zhang lying on the ground crying and wailing.

Yan Bugui glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "Look at the trouble you've caused with your lousy mouth. Why don't you hurry up and push the cart over here and take Jia Zhang to the hospital?"

At this moment, Sha Zhu wanted to slap himself hard, because this broken mouth had caused so many troubles, why didn't he learn his lesson. This matter had something to do with him, so he turned around and pushed the cart in the front yard, and then sent the person to the hospital.

Xu Damao chuckled, "So where are the Jia Zhang family members now?"

"He's lying in the hospital. His leg is indeed broken. It will take a hundred days to heal the broken bone. Now he can rest in peace for a while." Yan Bugui said with some gloating.

"Okay, I'll go back first. I just got off work and haven't had lunch yet."

"Then we'll talk later."

But as soon as Xu Damao entered the middle courtyard, he was stopped by Qin Huairu.

"Third uncle, Xu Damao, my mother-in-law fell off the roof because of Sha Zhu. Is it okay for me to request a meeting of the whole hospital to ask Sha Zhu for some compensation?" Qin Huairu originally wanted to call him Third Uncle, but after thinking that they were of the same generation and she was a few years older than Xu Damao, she changed her mind and called him by his name.

"That's no problem, but ever since Shazhu was transferred back to the cafeteria, he often brings lunch boxes to your house. It seems inappropriate for you to do this. Besides, everyone has just returned from get off work and hasn't eaten yet. We will hold a meeting after dinner." To be honest, Xu Damao looked down on this woman, but she didn't provoke him, so he never paid any attention to her.

Qin Huairu pretended to be aggrieved and threw a coquettish eye at Xu Damao, "My mother-in-law insisted on doing this. She also said that she wanted to discuss the issue of providing housing provident fund for my family. Although I disagreed, I couldn't persuade her."

"Okay, let's hold a meeting of the entire hospital after dinner." Xu Damao didn't even look at Qin Huairu, he pushed the cart and left.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao's back and gritted her teeth secretly. This Shazhu is just a lousy cook. How can he earn as much as Xu Damao, the section chief? If she could hook up with Xu Damao, her family would have a good life every day! But Xu Damao ignored her at all. She was like throwing her eyebrows to a blind man.

At 7:30 in the evening, the whole institute meeting was held on time. Before the meeting, Xu Damao had a brief communication with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui stood up first, "Okay, the meeting is about to start, everyone please be quiet. Two things happened in the courtyard recently, both of which are related to the Jia family. One is that Jia Dongxu died in an accident, and Qin Huairu came to us uncles to apply for housing provident fund. The other is that this afternoon, Jia Zhang fell from the roof of her house and broke her leg because she was jumping up and down and scolding Sha Zhu. Qin Huairu also asked Sha Zhu for compensation. Now, please ask the uncle to preside over the meeting."

Liu Haizhong coughed twice and said, "Everyone is here, let's talk about the first thing first. Qin Huairu, tell us why your family applied for the provident fund."

Qin Huairu stood up with a big belly. Her eyes turned red before she said anything, and she looked pitiful.

After seeing this, Xu Damao thought to himself, Qin Bailian, please start your performance!

"Everyone knows that Dongxu is the mainstay of our family. After he passed away, I couldn't go to work even though I was pregnant. There was no income at home and we had to rely on our savings to survive. Everyone knows what the current grain prices are. We are almost out of food. If it weren't for Master Dongxu giving us some corn noodles from time to time, we wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Isn't this provident fund to help the needy residents in the courtyard? So, I applied for the provident fund assistance."

Qin Huairu started crying as she spoke, and her tearful face made her wish someone would hold her in his arms and comfort her.

Sha Zhu was a little tempted, but he finally held back and didn't say anything. As Qin Huairu's belly grew bigger, he hadn't played games with her for a while. He would have to deal with his affairs with Jia Zhang soon, and he would have to pay for it. For the sake of his wallet, it would be better not to intervene now.

Yi Zhonghai on the side was eager to get rid of this burden. Even if he couldn't get rid of it, it would be good to relieve some of his pressure.

"Everyone knows the situation of the Jia family. The two children are growing up, and Qin Huairu is still pregnant. She needs nutrition. I believe that everyone is kind and helpful. Please support us when we vote later."

Liu Haizhong asked, "Does anyone else want to speak? You can tell us anything about the Jia family's financial situation."

Mrs. Zhang stood up and said, "The Jia family has the only sewing machine in our courtyard. Jia Zhang used to brag about the gold ring that Old Jia gave her when she got married."

Wang Quezi in the backyard also said, "When Jia Dongxu passed away, didn't the factory give him a pension and funeral expenses? Although I didn't work in the steel mill, I heard about it."

Someone who works in the factory and knows the situation shouted: "The factory gave 400 yuan in pensions, and each child also received a 5 yuan subsidy per month."

Xu Damao also stood up at this time and decided to promote the reputation of the steel mill.

"I was there when the factory held a meeting to discuss Jia Dongxu's compensation. Not only did they give him 400 yuan in pension and 100 yuan in funeral expenses, but the factory also specially asked Qin Huairu to go through the employment procedures in advance. It can be said that Qin Huairu is now a worker. The children's household registration has also been moved here. Now the Jia family only has Jia Zhangshi eating expensive food."

"The Jia family's several children, including this unborn one, can each receive a subsidy of five yuan per month until they reach the age of eighteen. The factory cares about and loves every employee, and will consider everyone's actual difficulties and make some adjustments."

Qin Huairu was secretly gritting her teeth and cursing Xu Damao in her heart. Isn't this exposing their family's past? How can she pretend to be poor and pitiful to get benefits in the future?

When everyone in the hospital heard that the factory offered such generous conditions and Qin Huairu still had the audacity to apply for provident fund, they all stared at her angrily.

"Bah, you have so much money and yet you still shamelessly ask for help. How shameless!"

"The Jia family is like a pixiu, especially Jia Zhang, who only takes in money but never gives out."

"Jia Zhang lent me one dollar a year ago, and she hasn't paid it back yet!"

"The Jia family hasn't paid the fine for the last fight, but no one pursued the matter because Jia Dongxu was gone. Now they have the nerve to ask for relief!"

"The Jia family is so wealthy, yet they come to steal our relief money. They are simply lacking in virtue."

"The Jia family has no money to look for Yi Zhonghai. He is Jia Dongxu's godfather and Bang Geng's godfather. Isn't it his duty to help the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai's face turned green. How could this burden be thrown back at him again? He wanted to find Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, but Jia Dongxu died. Not only did all his investment go down the drain, but now he had to support the Jia family!

Qin Huairu was also a little uncomfortable with what everyone said. The White Lotus, whose power was not yet fully developed, stammered, "The money, the money is all with my mother-in-law. I, I didn't see a penny. Now my mother-in-law is still in the hospital, and she didn't give me any money, so I wanted to apply for relief."

Liu Haizhong knocked on the table. "Okay, now the situation is clear. The Jia family is not in trouble now, so this application is rejected. Now let's talk about the second matter, Jia Zhang's broken leg. Shazhu, you go first."
