Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

The next day, Qin Huairu got off work early and saw Qin Jingru strolling in the front yard. She said hello and went home. However, after a while, Aunt Zhang from the front yard came to call her and said that Qin Jingru had fallen down and kept crying in pain, which seemed to be a sign of miscarriage.

When I looked over, I saw Qin Jingru being held in the arms of the third aunt. Several housewives at home were surrounding her and giving suggestions. Some suggested sending her to the hospital, while others said that she didn't dare to move at the moment and maybe she would get better if she just lay down.

Qin Huairu reached into Qin Jingru's crotch and found blood when she took it out. Everyone was scared. If there was bleeding, the baby would be lost. Someone had already gone out to look for a car.

Xu Damao arrived at the hospital sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the hospital, he asked, "What happened? Why did you fall?"

Qin Huairu didn't know the situation at that time, so she could only perfunctorily answer, "How should I know, but she has already fallen down, and the doctor just said that the baby can't be saved. I know this child is important to you, but it is more important to Jingru. She must be upset, so don't make it worse for her. Abortion is the same as giving birth to a child. Besides, you are still young and you can have it again in the future." Then she took out the bill and handed it to Xu Damao, "Go and pay the bill quickly, and go back to make some millet porridge for Jingru later."

"Oh." Xu Damao thought about it and realized that now was not the time to talk about wrestling.

Qin Jingru stayed in the hospital for two days. On the afternoon of the day she returned home, Xu Damao first stayed at the second uncle's house for a while, and then went to the first uncle's house. In the evening, the whole hospital held another meeting.

The third plenary meeting of Red Star Courtyard in 1962.

After Liu Guangtian came to inform Sha Zhu and his wife of the meeting, Yu Li was quite excited. Her parents' home was a two-courtyard house with few people and few things to do, so large meetings were seldom held. This was the first time she had seen so many people holding a meeting in three courtyards. A bunch of people were sitting opposite the octagonal table, some were sewing shoe soles under the dim street lights in the courtyard, some were chatting, and some were playing with children.

The three uncles came last and still sat down in order. When the third uncle was notified by the second uncle to attend a meeting, he only heard the second uncle say that Xu Damao requested a meeting, and thought that Sha Zhu had offended Xu Damao again and needed the three uncles' help.

The second uncle stood up, coughed, and said, "Silence, we are now in a meeting, please let the first uncle speak." He looked like a leader.

"Today, Xu Damao came to me and Second Uncle and told them that something needed to be resolved at a meeting of the entire hospital, so we gathered everyone together. Xu Damao needs to explain the specific matter to everyone, and then everyone can make a judgment and then we can come to a final result. Okay, Xu Damao, you can start."

Xu Damao thought that the old man would tell the two what he said to them, but he didn't expect that he would have to do it himself. He said, "Neighbors, Jingru fell down a few days ago, and everyone helped to send her to the hospital, right?"

"Yes, Xu Damao, you have a change of heart and want to thank everyone. Why don't you buy some peanuts and melon seeds?" someone answered.

"Yes, Xu Damao, your salary is not low, don't be stingy."

"It seems that I didn't buy it today. I will make up for it tomorrow."

"I'm fucking your sister." Xu Damao cursed in his heart, but said, "Let's not talk about the peanuts and melon seeds for now, everyone, let's talk about this later."

"What else is going on? What could possibly happen if you fell down?"

"Everyone, there is a real problem." Xu Damao nodded, "Jingru told me in the hospital yesterday that it was the third aunt who bumped into her that caused her miscarriage."

"Xu Damao, you're talking nonsense." After hearing this, the third aunt jumped up from the bench and started cursing, "Qin Jingru, you're also a bastard. She fell down by herself and I went to help her up with kindness, but you actually blackmailed me." The third aunt was so angry that she wanted to go up and beat Xu Damao. Several brothers of the Yan family also bare their arms and rolled up their sleeves, ready to rush over.

Seeing this, Xu Damao retreated behind the uncle and shouted, "Uncle One, Uncle Two, you have to take care of this. Beating people after they made a mistake, is there any morality or law?"

The third uncle was a little confused at this time: Well, Xu Damao accused his wife, and Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong didn't tell him in advance in order to suppress him. No matter whether this happened in the end, I have lost face. Okay, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, we will wait and see.

The third uncle calmed down and raised his hand to comfort his family, "Yang Ruihua, sit down. Jie Cheng will take your two brothers back to sit down. With the eldest uncle there, we can't be held responsible for things we haven't done, and the bad guys can't do anything wrong."

Seeing that Third Aunt and the Yan brothers had all sat back down, Xu Damao walked to the center of the place arrogantly, looked at Third Uncle and said, "Third Uncle, if you say there was no collision, then there was no collision. My Jingru said it was Third Aunt who hit the person, otherwise why was she there, why was she helping?"

"Yes, if it wasn't her third aunt who hit him, why would she help?" In order to suppress the third uncle, the second uncle had already charged forward himself.

"Liu Haizhong, are you talking like a human being? She is a pregnant woman and she fell down. As a neighbor, as a woman, and as an elder, can I just stand by and do nothing? Am I still a human being? If you are like me and just stand by and watch someone fall down and do nothing, are you a human being?" The third aunt angrily scolded Liu Haizhong.

"Yang Ruihua, why are you swearing at me?" The second uncle was speechless, and the second aunt came up to help.

"Scolding him is the least of his worries. Let's talk about it. Was he speaking human language? According to what he said, don't help anyone who falls down. Whoever helps will be the one who gets hurt." The third aunt pointed at the second aunt's nose and said, "You are not a good person either. You are not young anymore. Don't fall down in the future. Be careful that no one will dare to help you."

There were also various dissatisfied voices in the crowd, "Is Liu Haizhong mentally ill?"

"Why does Second Master talk like that?"

"Hey, you are uneducated, and you still dream of being a leader. I think you are not even suitable to be a second uncle with your level."

Only then did Liu Haizhong realize how bad his words just now were. He was not Xu Damao who could say whatever he wanted. He was the second uncle, the manager of the hospital. Saying these words really destroyed his prestige.

The uncle was secretly happy nearby. Ever since Xu Damao came to him to talk about Qin Jingru's fall, he didn't want to get involved. If he didn't handle it well, he would be in trouble both inside and outside, and it would easily offend Yan Bugui, which would not end well with Xu Damao. In order to establish his prestige, Liu Haizhong jumped out regardless of anything, and he just happened to be watching the fun from the side.

Xu Damao didn't dare to say anything when he heard everyone talking about it, but people didn't let him go. "Xu Damao is even worse. His wife fell down, and the three aunts were kind enough to help but were blackmailed. They should be kicked out."

Xu Damao, who was pushed into a corner, came up with his last resort: "We have to rely on evidence for everything. Third Aunt said my wife fell down by herself, Jingru said Third Aunt bumped into her. They each have their own reasons, but my child is gone after all. What should I do?"

Sha Zhu didn't say anything. Although he knew that the third aunt was wrongly accused, he had no evidence. He could only ask if anyone saw what happened at that time. What about the many neighbors in the front yard? The always shrewd third uncle would not fail to understand this.

As soon as I thought of the third uncle, he stood up and clasped his fists, "Everyone, you all understand, right? Xu Damao and Qin Jingru are sure that no one saw it at the time, and no one came out to testify, so my Yan family has to suffer this loss in silence. If anyone of you saw it, please stand up and testify. I, Yan Bugui, would like to thank you. Let's not let good people be wronged and evil people take over. Otherwise, once the moral atmosphere in our courtyard is destroyed by this incident, the consequences will be disastrous."

The third uncle stood in the yard and looked at everyone. No one said anything. The third uncle felt very sorry because no one really saw it.

Xu Damao was very proud. He was worried that he was not popular and someone would come out to testify falsely. It seemed that the people were still kind and honest. "How is it, Uncle San." Xu Damao dragged out the tone proudly. "The matter is very clear. No one testified. It was Aunt San who hit the car."

Yu Li was so angry that she was about to stand up, but Sha Zhu grabbed her and whispered in her ear: "We have no evidence, the baby has already been lost."

The third uncle was helpless and turned to ask the first uncle: "Are you sure you don't want to say a word?"

"Old Yan, if you are wrong, you are wrong. The worst that can happen is you have to pay money." The second uncle wanted to put an end to the matter of the third aunt so that his prestige could be preserved. "If you don't have money, Old Yi and I can help you get some."

"Liu Haizhong, it's none of your business. I'm asking about Yi Zhonghai now." The third uncle retorted to Liu Haizhong, thinking: Don't I have any dignity? Let people blackmail me like this.

When the first uncle heard the third uncle calling him by his name, he seemed to be really angry and wanted to suppress it: "Old Yan, the key is that there is no evidence. Xu Damao insisted that it was his third aunt who hit the car. What do you want me to say?"

Xu Damao followed up on what the first uncle had said, "Third uncle, Jingru spent 10 yuan on hospitalization, and the cost of nutritional supplements will be at least 20 yuan. Do you want to pay now or do you want me to go back with you to get it after the meeting?"

"Uncle Xu, Third Grandma didn't hit Aunt Jingru. I saw it." A weak voice came from the house to the east of the venue.

Everyone turned to look at the child who was talking. The child's mother, Sister Yang, went over to hug the child and asked, "Fengzhi, what did you see?"

"I saw Aunt Jingru fall down in front of Third Grandma's house. Then Third Grandma went out to help her up, but she couldn't. Later, many adults came out."

"How can you trust the words of a child who knows nothing?" Xu Damao retorted, staring at Xiao Fengzhi and said, "Little girl, are you sure you saw it clearly?"

"Xu Damao, why did you scare the child?" The third uncle felt relieved. Finally, there was a witness. "Children don't lie like some adults do."

Sister Yang patted her daughter on the back. Auntie Three also came to the child and said, "Baby, tell us again what you saw that day."

Xiao Fengzhi felt her mother's encouragement and Third Grandma's expectations, and said aloud: "That day I saw Aunt Jingru fall down first and cried out in pain, and then Third Grandma came out of the house."

The story was told twice, without repeating any words, but the meaning was consistent: the three aunts appeared later and were there to help.

The third uncle looked at Xu Damao without saying anything, and his meaning was very clear. Everyone also looked at the key figures in the field.
