Siheyuan, my new life

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu supported Jia Zhang on each side and walked slowly on the way home.

Not long after Director Wang and the public security personnel left, Officer Lei walked into the emergency room of Red Star Hospital, panting, and handed a medicine in his hand to the doctor on duty.

Jia Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward to thank Secretary Lei, and said that since he came in a hurry and did not bring any money, he would ask his wife Qin Huairu to deliver the money for the medicine and the car to the street office tomorrow morning.

Secretary Lei didn't know what to say. He could only hand the receipt for the rabies vaccine to Jia Dongxu and ask him to deliver the 17.30 yuan directly to the Jiaodaokou Street Office tomorrow. Then he turned around and left the Red Star Hospital.

There were no unexpected problems during the rabies vaccination process. After the injection, they took some anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by the doctor and then the three members of the Jia family left the Red Star Hospital.

On the way home, Jia Dongxu inadvertently noticed that there were many people around pointing and talking about the three of them, and he could vaguely hear his mother's and his own names.

Jia Dongxu now wishes he could grow wings and fly directly back home. The incident his mother caused this afternoon will probably become a hot topic in the neighborhood for the next few days.

Looking at his dejected mother, Jia Dongxu sighed secretly. What else could his mother say? He could only endure it silently, but he was extremely annoyed in his heart, but he had no place to vent his anger.

Recently, the scandal between my mother and Yi Zhonghai has been spreading around the area, and Jia Dongxu, the son and apprentice of the person involved, has naturally been often talked about by those guys. I originally planned to secretly send my mother back to the countryside to hide for a while, so as to avoid the limelight. Unfortunately, due to Jia Zhang's deliberate delay, I did not leave in the end.

The more Jia Dongxu thought about it, the angrier he became, so his face became gloomy and he walked mechanically on the way home.

Suddenly, there was a strong aroma of braised meat. Jia Zhang, who had been dejected and listless just now, immediately opened her eyes wide, sniffed twice, and looked in the direction where the aroma came from. She found a shop selling braised meat on the side of the road. A fat man with a rosy face was placing freshly cooked pork heads, livers, intestines and other cooked foods on the chopping board one by one.

Jia Zhang swallowed hard and looked at her son pitifully: "Dongxu, I was bitten by a dog today and I just got a rabies vaccine. The doctor just told me to eat nutritious food to replenish my body. Do you think you can buy some braised meat for me?"

Jia Dongxu wanted to have a bite of the fragrant braised meat, but unfortunately he was short of money. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I just paid 65 cents for the anti-inflammatory medicine, and I only have 20 cents left in my pocket. Even the cheapest pig liver and pig intestines cost 86 cents per pound. How can I buy you braised meat?"

Jia Zhang looked at her son in surprise: "Dongxu, didn't you borrow some money from Yi Zhonghai before coming to the hospital?" Of course she knew that her son had no money in his pocket. Whenever something similar happened in the past, her son would drag Yi Zhonghai, the scapegoat, to pay for it. When her grandchildren were delivered in the Red Star Hospital, Yi Zhonghai paid for the medical expenses and surgery fees. He said that they were all borrowed first, but it was just like Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and never looked back.

Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly and said, "After I received the notice from Huairu today, I thought of taking Yi Zhonghai to the hospital with me, but he said there were too many workpieces and it was not easy to ask for leave now. I also knew that his reputation in the workshop was ruined and the workshop director would not give him face as before, so I wanted to borrow some money from him, but Yi Zhonghai said he forgot to pack the money when he changed his clothes in the morning." At this point, he glanced at his silent wife and continued, "Before Huairu went to the steel mill to find me, he went to Yi Zhonghai's wife to borrow money, but Qu Xiuqin said that all the money in the house was taken away by Yi Zhonghai."

After hearing what her son said, Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she started to curse: "What does this damn family want to do? He wants to ignore our Jia family after he stops being the head of the family? No way. I will settle the score with them when I return."

Qin Huairu curled her lips in disdain. She knew in her heart that the reason why Yi Zhonghai was so happy to pay for the medical expenses and surgery of Banggeng and Xiaodang was because of her own contribution. If Yi Zhonghai had not mistakenly believed that the two children were his own flesh and blood, how could he have paid for them so happily? It was just that these things must not be known to the mother and son of the Jia family.

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Mom, now Yi Zhonghai has been dismissed from his position as the manager, and he lost such a big man in the re-election. You must not make trouble with him. I have deliberately taken the initiative to help him these two days, and Yi Zhonghai has also taught me a lot of locksmith knowledge. Now Yi Zhonghai is deserted by his friends and relatives, and it is a good time for me to perform well. Even if it is not for his future property, house, and work station, as long as he can continue to teach me more locksmith knowledge, I am sure that I can be promoted to the next level in the locksmith assessment at the end of the year. By that time, our family can earn an extra five yuan per month."

Jia Zhang let out a heavy breath unwillingly. She glanced at the fragrant braised meat not far away, reluctantly reached out from her waistband to take out a slightly damp handkerchief bag, carefully untied it, revealing several slightly damp banknotes inside, then picked out two one-yuan bills from it and handed them to her son: "Dongxu, use these two yuan to buy braised meat. I, your mother, have suffered a lot today and need to eat more meat to replenish my body. My eldest grandson Banggeng hasn't eaten meat for several days. This is just the right amount to give my eldest grandson a piece of meat to replenish his body."

Jia Dongxu took a look at the several big black tens in his mother's handkerchief and sighed silently. He had so much money on him, but he made such a scene in the hospital and embarrassed himself. However, he knew that now was not the time to argue with his mother. He took the two dollars and walked towards the braised meat shop. As for what his mother said just now, he had long been accustomed to it. Even if he bought the braised meat, most of it would go into his mother's stomach. His son Bangeng would be able to eat a lot of it, but he and his wife could only taste it. As for his daughter Xiaodang, it would be good enough if she could have a little.

After buying the braised meat, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu helped Jia Zhangshi continue on the way home. Perhaps because she was in a hurry to go home and eat the braised meat, Jia Zhangshi's pace quickened a lot.

Qin Huairu smelled the delicious aroma of the braised meat and kept swallowing her saliva. She knew very well that even with such a big bag of braised meat, she would not be able to eat many pieces after returning home. However, she secretly planned in her heart that she must have a good meal of braised meat when she had the chance, not only to satisfy her craving, but more importantly to nourish her body. Recently, due to lack of nutrition, she clearly felt that her weight had been declining. This was the capital for her to charm the old pervert Yi Zhonghai, and she must not make any mistakes.
