Siheyuan, my new life

Soon a lot of people came over and surrounded Jia Zhang from a distance, pointing and talking. At this time, Jia Zhang was only concerned about the severe pain in her thigh and did not notice that she was sitting on the feces that had been spread all over by the mangy dog. For a while, as she kept twisting her body, her legs and buttocks were covered with smelly feces.

Seeing this situation, even if someone wants to help, they can only "stop and watch the shit", after all, no one wants to get themselves covered in dirt.

Secretary Lei, who had just returned from the supply and marketing cooperative, saw a group of people gathered here from afar. Worried that something unexpected might have happened, he quickly walked over and squeezed into the crowd, only to see Jia Zhang sitting in the feces and crying out loud. He quickly asked the aunt standing next to him what was going on.

After listening to the old lady's story, Secretary Lei couldn't help but curse himself for being so unlucky. Others could just stand by and watch, but he was a staff member of the street office after all, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward to organize the rescue.

He stopped two rickshaws in a row, but when the drivers saw how dirty Jia Zhang was, no one was willing to do this job. They could only get a few cents at most for taking her from here to the nearby Red Star Hospital, but their rickshaws would have to be thoroughly cleaned, which would not only waste time but also affect their business.

Finally, Officer Lei could only stop a donkey cart carrying firewood and asked the onlookers to help lift the still shouting Jia Zhang onto the cart. At first, Jia Zhang lay on the ground and wanted others to lift her onto the cart. Unfortunately, no one came forward to help even though Officer Lei tried his best to persuade her. Finally, the driver of the donkey cart said that if she didn't get on the cart, he would leave.

So Jia Zhang could only struggle to stand up and sit on the donkey cart with the help of others.

Officer Lei called out to an old lady from the No. 95 courtyard who was standing in the back watching the excitement: "Aunt Jiang, please go back and tell Jia Zhang's family to go to the Red Star Hospital immediately with the money."

Aunt Jiang had a fight with Jia Zhang before because she stole things from her family. Although both of them were injured on the spot and Aunt Jiang did not suffer any loss, the wicked Yi Zhonghai tried to smooth things over with a few words after he came back from get off work. In the end, Jia Zhang did not want back the more than pound of cornmeal she had stolen. Yi Zhonghai fooled her by saying that it was not easy for an orphan and a widow to live like this. However, after that, Aunt Jiang and her family hated Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai, the couple.

Today, when Aunt Jiang saw Jia Zhang being bitten by a dog and sitting in a pile of feces in such a miserable state, she was restrained enough not to laugh out loud. As for going up to help, she certainly didn't even think about it.

Now, after hearing what Secretary Lei from the Street Office said, Aunt Jiang couldn't refuse him, so she agreed and walked towards the courtyard house No. 95.

At first Aunt Jiang was a little reluctant, but then she thought that it was worth the trip to be able to be the first to see the expression of the Jia family's pretentious daughter-in-law when she heard the "good news".

After Secretary Lei asked Aunt Jiang to go back to Courtyard No. 95 to report the news, he glanced at the crowd who were deliberately staying away from the donkey cart and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that he would have to go to the hospital again. Jia Zhang had a bad reputation in the neighborhood and it was common for her to act like a scoundrel. After the spread of the scandal at Courtyard No. 95 a few days ago, the ugly incident of Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai digging into the vegetable cellar was brought up again. As a result, Jia Zhang, who already had a bad reputation, is now even more notorious.

If what happened today happened to someone else, there would definitely be a lot of enthusiastic people who would take the initiative to help send them to the hospital. However, for someone as notorious as Jia Zhang, let's forget about it. The people watching the fun at the scene have already made their attitude clear with their actions.

Secretary Lei asked an acquaintance to go to the street office to speak on his behalf, and then followed the donkey cart towards the Red Star Hospital.

At this time, Aunt Jiang had already walked into the front yard of No. 95 Siheyuan. As soon as she stepped into the front yard, she deliberately shouted loudly: "Daughter-in-law of the Jia family, hurry up and take the money to the Red Star Hospital. Your mother-in-law has been bitten on the thigh by a dog."

Aunt Jiang's shouting immediately attracted the attention of the housewives who were sitting under the big locust tree, sewing shoe soles and chatting. One of the middle-aged women asked loudly: "Sister-in-law Jiang, what happened? How did Jia Zhang get bitten on the thigh by a dog?"

Aunt Jiang continued to walk towards the middle courtyard and answered loudly: "I will go tell Qin Huairu first, and then I will come back and tell you in detail."

Passing through the lotus gate leading to the middle courtyard, Aunt Jiang saw Qin Huairu washing clothes by the pool at a glance, and immediately shouted: "Qin Huairu, hurry up and take the money to the Red Star Hospital. Your mother-in-law Jia Zhang was bitten on the thigh by a dog."

In fact, Qin Huairu had already heard Aunt Jiang's shouting. With her loud voice, the people living in the backyard could probably hear it.

Qin Huairu knew that Aunt Jiang was deliberately embarrassing her mother-in-law. She also cursed her careless mother-in-law in her heart. She was always making trouble in the courtyard and offended almost all the neighbors. Now she couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. She stood up and asked anxiously: "Aunt Jiang, what happened? How could my mother-in-law be bitten by a dog?"

Aunt Jiang glanced at several neighbors who were walking over after hearing the noise, and deliberately said loudly: "Just now when your mother-in-law was sweeping the street, there was a mangy dog ​​eating shit. Your mother-in-law took the broom and went to beat the dog. Who would have thought that the dog got angry and bit your mother-in-law Jia Zhang on the thigh? Just now, Officer Lei from the Street Office asked me to come back and inform your family to go to the Red Star Hospital immediately with money."

After saying this, Aunt Jiang ignored Qin Huairu's surprised expression and immediately turned around and walked towards the front yard. She had just promised her old sisters that she would give them a detailed introduction to Jia Zhang's great achievements.

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, picked up the laundry basin and returned home, then walked to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house across the street and knocked on the door gently. Soon, Yi Zhonghai's wife Qu Xiuqin opened the door and said expressionlessly: "It's Qin Huairu, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu looked pitiful and whispered, "Auntie, my mother-in-law was bitten on the thigh by a dog. Officer Lei from the street office asked me to take money to the hospital, but my family's money is in my mother-in-law's hands. Can you lend me some money? I will return it to you when my mother-in-law comes back."

Qu Xiuqin sneered in her heart. When did the Jia family ever pay back the money they borrowed? But thinking of what Yi Zhonghai said, now is not the time to turn against the Jia family. But she would not do such a stupid thing as throwing money into the bottomless pit of the Jia family. So she deliberately sighed and said, "Qin Huairu, you came at an unfortunate time. All the money in the family has been taken away by Old Yi. You should go to the steel rolling mill to find Jia Dongxu."

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth secretly. Would Qu Xiuqin have no money? Even a fool would not believe her lies. But since she had said so, she could not pester her. So she said pitifully: "Okay, I'll go to the steel mill now, but can you help me take care of the children?"

Qu Xiuqin did not refuse and agreed immediately.
