Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

While donations were in full swing outside, Yang Laoshi, who was hiding in the house, was secretly looking out through the crack in the door.

Qin Huairu, who was lying on the bed, also opened her eyes at this time.

Huaihua, who didn't know what was going on, immediately covered her mouth when she saw my mother like this.

"Mom, you're okay!"

"Huaihua, watch your mouth. Remember, don't go out and say anything nonsense."

After glaring at her daughter, Qin Huairu looked towards the door and asked in a low voice.

"How's it going, Lao Yang? Did the meeting outside target my family?"

"Don't worry! Huairu, these idiots are donating money!"

As Yang Laoshi spoke, he felt a pain in his heart, because the people outside donated too much, it would be better if the money was given to his family.

"Donation?" Qin Huairu was suspicious. "Would the people in the hospital be so kind?"

In fact, it’s not her fault that she is suspicious. After all, she knows the characters of the people in this hospital.

Anyway, she felt that there was something strange about this matter, but she just couldn't put it into words.

"Hey~! What do you care about them!"

At this moment, Yang Laoshi's eyes rolled and he started to act clever again.

"Huai Ru! Why don't we go out now, collect the money, and help the old woman with her funeral. I guarantee that we will make a lot of money."

"No, don't even think about it." Qin Huairu immediately rejected the proposal.

"Why? Isn't the purpose of their donation for funeral expenses? This is our family's business, why can't we accept the money?"

"You are stupid!" Qin Huairu was so angry that she was confused.

"If we go out now, does that mean my family doesn't have to pay a penny?"

"Hey~!"

Yang Laoshi sighed deeply, stopped standing at the door and walked to the table and sat down, because he was afraid of falling into the money trap and being unable to get out.

Huaihua saw everything that happened in the room at this time, and she despised her stepfather's behavior even more.

If there is a way, she also hopes to fly out earlier.

Because it's too depressing in this family.

All the good things were saved for her brother, and she was raised like a stepmother.

Moreover, the look in her stepfather's eyes was often full of aggression, which made her dare not look him directly in the eye.

Especially at night, he made very loud noises while doing it, and used a lot of foul language, which obviously had bad intentions and made her miserable.

At this time, the donation outside had ended, and almost all the neighbors, except the children, participated.

After a final count, it turned out that a total of 126 yuan was donated, which is definitely enough.

Since the donation has been received, Lin Wencui will not hesitate any longer. After all, people really can't wait any longer.

After a period of urgent discussion, it was finally decided that idle personnel such as Yan Bugui and Uncle Li would go to the countryside in person to help supervise the use of the money.

Of course, if others have made efforts, they cannot go unpaid, otherwise Yan Bugui would not have been so enthusiastic.

All the expenses and wasted time along the way will be converted into money and subsidized to them, which is equivalent to using salary to travel on public funds.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. You guys should hurry up and get to work! Try to get things done today."

With Lin Wencui's wave of her hand, the whole institute meeting officially ended.

Yan Bugui and Uncle Li took the money and left the yard without stopping. After all, they still had to catch the carriage!

The remaining neighbors talked in twos and threes, doing what they had to do.

At noon, after lunch, Sun Zhengguo didn't want to stay and watch the fun, so he took his wife and children back home.

Soon, it was evening. Qin Huairu got up hypocritically, appeared in the pool in the middle courtyard, pretended to be sick, and then went back home.

The purpose of her doing this was very simple, just to let others know that I was not unfilial, but I really fainted. Look, I feel a little better now.

It also seems like he is trying to cover up his mistake.

After dinner in the evening, Qin Huairu, with the help of Yang Laoshi, went to the front yard to find Lin Wencui.

"Auntie, I also heard about your donation on behalf of my family today. Thank you. If I hadn't fainted at that time, I would definitely not have troubled you so much."

Looking at Qin Huairu who was standing at the door and still performing hard, Lin Wencui was convinced.

"Qin Huairu, you don't need to thank me. When Uncle Li and the others come back, someone will settle the accounts with you. I hope you can settle the accounts with everyone then."

"What account? Can you explain it clearly, Auntie?" Qin Huairu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Lin Wencui could only laugh at this.

"Qin Huairu, you fainted this morning, but your mother-in-law's funeral can't wait any longer, so the neighbors in our courtyard decided to help you raise this money. Why, don't you plan to handle your mother-in-law's funeral?"

"No, no, Auntie, how could I not care about my mother-in-law's funeral?"

Qin Huairu finally panicked at this time. You know, she heard from Yang Laoshi that people in the hospital donated a lot of money.

Just imagine, if you take this money to the countryside, who the hell would save it for you? Even a pig can imagine the consequences.

However, she still held on to a glimmer of hope and continued to ask.

"Auntie, I wonder how much money the neighbors in the compound have helped to raise?"

"Don't worry, Huairu. Although the money is not much, just over 120 yuan, it is definitely enough to handle the funeral. Besides, Uncle Li and others will be there to supervise, so they won't spend a penny more for you."

"What? More than 120 yuan, this...?"

Qin Huairu's brain suddenly froze, she was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell down.

Fortunately, there was someone supporting me, otherwise I might have fallen down.

At this time, Yang Laoshi was quite angry and didn't want to take responsibility for it.

"Auntie, who allowed you to collect money for my family? We won't acknowledge this money."

Seeing that Yang Laoshi still wanted to stand out, Lin Wencui would not tolerate him at all.

"Yang Laoshi, who do you think you are? You have nothing to do with this. Let Qin Huairu talk to me."

"I...?" Yang Laoshi felt so devastated that he became dispirited after just one round.

Lin Wencui was the chairman of the factory labor union. Dealing with him would be as easy as killing an ant, so he didn't dare to join in again.

Just then, the sound of mule carriage bells was heard from the door. Lin Wencui guessed that it must be Uncle Li and his companions who had returned.

So she chased them out, "Okay, don't hang around here, go to the gate and see how things are going."

Having said that, she took the lead and walked out, and the others quickly followed.

Before they reached the door, they heard a conversation coming from outside.

"Captain Chen, we're here. Would you like to come down and rest?"

"No, Uncle Li, Uncle Yan... We have to hurry back to the village. When we came here, our Party Secretary Zhang specifically asked me to thank you and said that you city people are really open and honest in your work."

"Haha! Of course I should." Yan Bugui kept waving his hands.

I thought, how can I not be open? I spent so much money.
