Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

Lou Xiao'e asked in confusion: "What's Guan Pingzi's business? Didn't Li Qing find him himself?"

Xu Damao laughed when he heard this, "You really believe it. If Li Qing had this, it would have been arranged long ago. How could the whole family be reduced to having no food to eat? Aunt Wang and Liu Li have a good relationship. It must be that Aunt Wang is kind-hearted. Seeing that Li Qing's family couldn't make ends meet, she asked Pingzi to find a wife. You should spend more time with the Lin family's daughter-in-law in the future. Who knows, we might have to trouble them again in the future."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

In December of 1959, the entire city was covered in white snow.

Although the Jia family had support from Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai was a smart man and the support he provided was just the right amount. It was impossible for him to use his own money to buy food from the Pigeon Market to fatten the Jia family, so the Jia family began to starve.

As the breadwinner of the family, Jia Dongxu was given the most food. But even so, he was still skinny, after all, it was heavy physical labor.

Jia Dongxu had been working in the workshop for the whole morning and was so hungry that he felt dizzy and was accidentally sucked into a machine. When people pulled Jia Dongxu out, he was already dead.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu's miserable state, he was stunned for a moment. This was the foundation of his future retirement. He didn't expect that he would die like this. Who would take care of him in the future? He felt bitter and sweet at the same time, but fortunately he still had Sha Zhu as a backup.

Ding Qiunan came to the scene and saw that Jia Dongxu was already dead. He shook his head and said, "Hurry up and send him to the hospital."

Siheyuan.

In the front yard, Jia Zhang was watching her grandson Banggen playing, while Qin Huairu was holding Xiaodang and talking to Auntie San. Just then, a worker from the steel mill rushed into the yard and asked in panic, "Who is Jia Dongxu's family member?"

Seeing the workers in a panic, Qin Huairu felt a pang in her heart for some reason, and wondered if something had happened to Dongxu.

Jia Zhang looked at the worker and said, "Jia Dongxu is my son. What do you want?"

The worker gasped when he saw this, "Something happened to your Dongxu. He is in the People's Hospital now. Your family members should go and see him."

In fact, Jia Dongxu had already died, and the hospital he was sent to was the morgue, but the workers at the scene didn't have the heart to tell the family the truth directly.

When Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu heard that Jia Dongxu was in trouble, they were immediately panicked. You know, Jia Dongxu is the pillar of the family and the whole family is counting on him. If anything happens to him, how will they, the orphans and widows, survive?

Qin Huairu entrusted Banggeng and Xiaodang to the care of Aunt Three, and hurriedly took Jia Zhang to the People's Hospital. However, they didn't know that Jia Dongxu had already died.

People's Hospital.

The person Jia Dongxu sent over was already dead, so he was pushed directly to the morgue. When Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu arrived, they were taken directly to the morgue.

Looking at Jia Dongxu covered with a white cloth, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen, especially Qin Huairu, who suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.

Li Huaide and a group of factory leaders quickly ordered people to help Qin Huairu up, and began to persuade Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang lost her husband in her middle age and her son in her old age. She was crying bitterly at this moment. When she saw someone trying to persuade her, she stared at Li Huaide and said hatefully, "How could our Dongxu be in trouble? Did you harm him? Woohoo..., my eldest son Dongxu..."

Li Huaide was annoyed when Jia Zhang grabbed him and scolded him, but he did not show it. He said calmly, "Aunt Zhang, no one wants Jia Dongxu to get injured at work, but it has already happened and there is nothing we can do about it. But don't worry, our factory will handle Jia Dongxu's affairs properly."

Jia Zhang was heartbroken at this time. She could not listen to Li Huaide's words and kept pulling Li Huaide to ask him for his son.

At this time, Qin Huairu also woke up slowly. She couldn't stop crying when she saw Jia Dongxu's body. Now Jia Dongxu was dead, but she and her children still had to live. She broke away from Yi Zhonghai's support and knelt in front of Li Huaide and said, "Leader, Dongxu is the only one working in my family. Now he is gone. How are we, an orphan and a widow, going to live in the future? Woo woo..."

Qin Huairu was smart. She handed the problem directly to Li Huaide. You, the steel rolling mill, can't just ignore the lives of these orphans and their widows, right?

Li Huaide was startled when he saw Qin Huairu. He thought to himself that he didn't expect Jia Dongxu to have such a beautiful wife. But now was not the time to think about these things, so he helped Qin Huairu up and said, "Don't worry, Jia Dongxu's family. The factory will definitely handle Comrade Jia Dongxu's affairs properly and compensate him if he deserves."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came to Qin Huairu and advised: "Huairu, don't worry, the factory will not ignore the life and death of your family."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully and said, "Uncle Yi, my family depends on you."

Yi Zhonghai patted Qin Huairu on the shoulder and consoled her: "Huairu, don't worry, I will do my best to deal with it."

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai say this, she knew that Dongxu's work station was fine. She relaxed and fainted again.

Everyone quickly called a doctor, and when Qin Huairu woke up again, the doctor said, "Comrade, you are pregnant, but your body is too weak. If you don't supplement your nutrition, I'm afraid the fetus will not be saved."

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard this, and then she thought about the current situation at home. Now that there will be one more mouth to feed, how will she get through the day? Thinking of this, her face was filled with sorrow.

Steel rolling mill.

When Lin Ping learned that Jia Dongxu was in trouble, he shook his head secretly, thinking that Jia Dongxu was still dead, but this matter had nothing to do with him, so he just did what he had to do.

canteen.

When Sha Zhu heard that Jia Dongxu had died, he sighed inwardly. Sister Qin would have a hard time in the future. However, Sha Zhu's mind was not on Qin Huairu now. His mind was on Lin Qingya.

It's just that the sisters rarely go out of the yard, so he doesn't have a chance to talk to them.

Siheyuan.

When Jia Dongxu's body was pulled back, everyone in the hospital was shocked. How could a healthy person just disappear like that? Everyone looked at Jia Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with sympathy.

Yi Zhonghai took charge of Jia Dongxu's funeral, and Jia Dongxu was buried in three days. The Lin family did not get involved during this period, but everyone in the courtyard knew that there was a conflict between the two families, so no one said anything.

After the funeral, the steel mill's handling results were announced. Jia Dongxu received a death pension of 300 yuan due to work-related injuries, and his work position was replaced by his family.

Naturally, Jia Zhang was unwilling to go to work, so she had to be replaced by Qin Huairu. However, Qin Huairu was pregnant now, so she could only come back to work after she gave birth. However, the factory would provide subsidies to Qin Huairu during her rest period.

As soon as the pension came in, it was taken away by Jia Zhang. Qin Huairu did not fight for it because she knew that the money would be a problem for her mother-in-law sooner or later, and everyone knew Jia Zhang's temper, so she could still do something about it.

Lin Ping knew that once Jia Dongxu died, the courtyard would be in chaos, and sure enough, a meeting was held in the evening.

In the middle courtyard, Lin Ping and Lin An sat together, while the sisters Lin Qingya talked with Wang Xiuzhi, Li Jing, Lin Yun and Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao came over and sat down and said, "Pingzi, what do you think happened tonight?"

Lin Ping glanced at Xu Damao. Xu Damao had not troubled him in these years, so he smiled and said, "What can I do? I will definitely donate money to the Jia family."

Xu Damao frowned and said, "Donate money to the Jia family? Didn't they get 300 yuan in pension? Besides, Qin Huairu and her child have a certain amount of food. Their life is much better than before. Why should they donate money? There are many families in this courtyard who are not doing well."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Then you'll have to ask our fair and just Master Yi."

Hearing this, Xu Damao curled his lips and said, "Yi Zhonghai is really going too far, always trying to favor the Jia family."

As they were talking, everyone arrived. The three uncles sat down in a "品" shape behind the eight-immortal table. Liu Haizhong stood up with a teacup in his hand and said, "Today's meeting is mainly about the Jia family. Everyone knows that Jia Dongxu is gone, and the orphans and widows are in a very difficult situation. So everyone should help as much as possible. Now let Uncle Yi say a few words to us."

Lin Ping shook his head secretly when he heard this, thinking that it would be the same as usual, Liu Haizhong would start first and then Yi Zhonghai would speak.

Yi Zhonghai stood up and looked at everyone and said, "Everyone knows that the Jia family is in trouble. Now that Dongxu is gone, life is even harder. As a civilized compound, we should donate some money to the Jia family based on the principle of supporting each other in times of trouble."

Everyone below looked at each other but no one responded. Since they couldn't even eat enough themselves, how could they have the energy to help others? Therefore, no one responded.

Seeing the silence, Yi Zhonghai quickly said, "As an uncle, I will donate ten yuan." After saying that, he slammed the money on the table.

Liu Haizhong was not going to lose this, so he also took out ten yuan and said, "I will donate ten yuan too."

Yan Fugui took out fifty cents and said, "Everyone knows my family's situation. We can't even eat enough, so I'm just giving this as a token of my appreciation."

Seeing that no one was moving, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but look at Sha Zhu, only to see that Sha Zhu's eyes kept drifting towards Lin Qingyan and her sister, which immediately made Yi Zhonghai so angry that he almost got a stitch in the side.

Xu Damao naturally saw Yi Zhonghai's actions, and looking at Sha Zhu's pig-like look, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Pingzi, Sha Zhu has feelings for your sister-in-law, you better not be careless."

Lin Ping glanced at Xu Damao and thought to himself that he was no good either, but he said, "If he has the ability to catch up with me, I have no problem with that."

Xu Damao was startled when he heard this, then he laughed and said, "That's true. You are just a fool and want to eat swan meat. Why don't you look in the mirror and take a look at yourself?"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was indifferent, Yi Zhonghai coughed and said, "Zhu Zi, how much are you donating?"

Sha Zhu was peeking at Lin Qingyan and her sister, and was startled by Yi Zhonghai's shout. He quickly asked, "Master Yi, what did you say?"

Yi Zhonghai was furious when he heard this and asked, "How much did you donate?"

Sha Zhu looked at the table belatedly and said, "I'll donate ten dollars too."

Yi Zhonghai then smiled with satisfaction, but he was still alert in his heart. He must not let Sha Zhu get involved with the Lin family.

With Sha Zhu taking the lead, the neighbors also started donating 1.5 cents at a time. They could donate money, but it was impossible to just want food.

Seeing that the donated money was sparse, Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Damao, how much did you donate?"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, "Uncle Yi, ask Pingzi, I will donate as much as he does."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to provoke Lin Ping in the first place, but being squeezed by Xu Damao, he had no choice but to look at Lin Ping and said, "Lin Ping, how much are you donating?"

Hearing this, Lin Ping sneered, "Master Yi, are you sure the Jia family needs to donate money? Jia Dongxu's pension is 300 yuan, and there is a sewing machine at home, and Qin Huairu is taking over. Only Jia Zhangshi in the family doesn't have a fixed amount of money, and her family is much better off than before."
