Siheyuan, my new life

Jia Dongxu found the workshop director and explained the reason for his leave. The workshop director certainly would not stop him in this situation and immediately gave Jia Dongxu a leave note.

Jia Dongxu hurried to the gate of the steel mill and saw his graceful wife from afar. After handing the leave application to the security guard, he walked up to Qin Huairu in two steps and asked anxiously: "What happened? Why is mom in the hospital?"

Qin Huairu noticed that the security guards on duty at the gate were looking at her and her husband intentionally or unintentionally. She quickly tugged at Jia Dongxu's sleeve and said as she walked: "Dongxu, let's not let people watch the fun here. Let's go to the hospital quickly. I will talk as we walk."

After listening to his wife's story, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but sigh. It was so painful that even drinking cold water would make his teeth ache. His mother was bitten on the thigh by a dog because she beat the dog. How could he seek justice for this?

Qin Huairu asked as they walked: "Dongxu, do you have any money? I went to borrow money from Auntie before I came here, but Qu Xiuqin said that all the money in the house was taken away by Yi Zhonghai. I think she doesn't want to lend money to our family anymore."

Jia Dongxu snorted: "I just asked Yi Zhonghai to borrow money, but this damn bastard said he didn't bring money with him when he changed his clothes in the morning. It seems that the couple has agreed that they don't want to lend money to our family anymore."

Qin Huairu was a little anxious. You know, relying on Jia Dongxu's monthly salary alone, it was not enough to buy food and vegetables, plus the pension for Jia Zhang. In the past, Yi Zhonghai provided a little support every month, which could barely maintain the family's daily expenses. If Yi Zhonghai no longer helped in the future, how would the Jia family survive?

In fact, Qin Huairu was still worried about another thing, that is, whether Yi Zhonghai would stop giving her 15 yuan privately every month. This was something they had agreed on before, and it was the living expenses for herself, Banggeng and Xiaodang.

Although she had always insisted in front of Yi Zhonghai that Banggeng and Xiaodang were his biological children, Qin Huairu herself was not sure whose child Xiaodang was, but she was sure that Banggeng was definitely not Yi Zhonghai's child.

What Qin Huairu is most worried about now is that Yi Zhonghai will find out the truth. At that time, not only will he lose a lot of blood, but he will also be retaliated by Yi Zhonghai in all likelihood. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu made up his mind and must grit his teeth. Banggeng and Xiaodang are Yi Zhonghai's own flesh and blood.

At this time, the Red Star Hospital was very busy. When the donkey cart carrying Jia Zhang stopped at the hospital gate, Lei immediately ran into the hospital building and said anxiously to the doctors and nurses in the emergency room: "Hello, doctor, there is a woman outside who was bitten on the thigh by a stray dog. Now she is unable to move. Can you please help arrange for someone to carry her in?"

Of course the doctor on duty would not refuse, and immediately arranged for three female nurses to carry the stretcher and follow Director Lei out.

But when the nurses saw Jia Zhang lying on the donkey cart, her body covered with indescribable substances and emitting a foul odor, they immediately stopped. The leading nurse said to Officer Lei with a bit of annoyance: "How can you be like this? Your mother is so dirty now, how can we carry her? You should rinse her with water first."

Officer Lei smiled bitterly and took out his work ID to explain: "Comrades, you have misunderstood. I am a staff member of Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office. The woman on the donkey cart is Jia Zhang. She was punished by Director Wang of our Subdistrict Office to sweep the streets. She was bitten on the thigh by a stray dog. I happened to pass by and found this donkey cart to take her to the hospital. I have asked someone to notify Jia Zhang's family. By the way, Jia Zhang's son Jia Dongxu is also a fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

After the leading nurse took the work permit and checked it, she gave it back with an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, Director Lei, we misunderstood. Let's do this, let the donkey cart pull the patient to the water pipe and use water to wash the dirt off Jia Zhang's body first, otherwise there is really no way to examine her."

Secretary Lei had no choice but to ask the old man driving the donkey cart to lean against the water pipe as the nurse requested. Looking at the dirty Jia Zhang, he was unwilling to do it himself, so he waved to the old man driving the donkey cart and whispered a few words.

When the old man heard that he could get an extra 20 cents as long as he used water to clean the fat woman on the cart, he agreed without hesitation. He took a small bucket from the side of the cart, which was the tool used to give the donkey water. Now he had to make do with it. Anyway, after pulling Jia Zhang, who was covered in dirt, he had to clean the donkey cart himself. Now he could get an extra 20 cents. You know, the fare for taking Jia Zhang to the hospital was only 30 cents.

The old man filled a small bucket with water from the tap, and walked over to Jia Zhang, who was still lying on the cart groaning. He bared his big yellow teeth and said cheerfully, "Big sister, shut up first. I have to give you a good rinse."

After saying this, without waiting for Jia Zhang to react, a bucket of cold water was poured on her. Then the old man turned around with the bucket and continued to collect water.

Jia Zhang was so shocked by the bucket of cold water that she stopped whining and started cursing: "How dare you, a black-hearted person, throw cold water on me? No, you have to pay me. If you don't pay me, you can't leave. Otherwise, I'll confiscate your donkey cart."

Everyone present was stunned by Jia Zhang's words. The old man driving the donkey cart looked at Secretary Lei helplessly: "Leader, you asked me to wash her, how can you still blame me?"

Secretary Lei glared at Jia Zhang with a gloomy face and shouted angrily: "Jia Zhang, we are helping you wash away the dirt on your body. If you dare to make trouble again, we will ignore you. You should know that you were bitten on the thigh by a stray dog. If you don't get the rabies vaccine in time, if you are infected with rabies, you will die."

Jia Zhang didn't understand anything else, but when she heard that there was a possibility of contracting rabies and killing people, she immediately shut her mouth tightly. She had not lived enough, so how could she bear to die?

Seeing that Jia Zhang had completely calmed down, Officer Lei waved to the old man driving the donkey cart, signaling him to continue pouring water.

The old man hesitated and said, "Boss, this woman won't come back to blame me, will she? Otherwise, you should find someone else to do it. Our whole family depends on me driving the donkey cart to make a living, but we really can't afford to offend this kind of person!"

Officer Lei just wanted to wash Jia Zhang clean and send her to the hospital as soon as possible. He couldn't let the old man give up halfway, so he said loudly: "Don't worry, old man. I'm the officer of Jiaodaokou Street Office. If Jia Zhang dares to act rogue, I will ask the leader to send her to the hospital for labor reform."

Jia Zhang was now terribly scared. If she really got rabies, her life would be in danger. When she heard the old man's words, she immediately shouted, "Brother, hurry up. Don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."
