Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

When they arrived at the central courtyard, they found Yi Zhonghai who was busy. Before Liu Haizhong could finish his words, Jia Zhang jumped up from the ground, stood beside Yi Zhonghai, and looked at Liu Haizhong with burning eyes.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were both shocked. Seeing that Liu Haizhong still didn't speak, Jia Zhang was impatient, "Liu Haizhong, what exactly happened? Tell me."

Liu Haizhong didn't care about Jia Zhang's bad tone. After all, her son had just died, so he told her everything.

Yi Zhonghai frowned after hearing this and was about to say something, but Jia Zhangshi next to him started to curse, "Liu Haizhong, are you and Li Youde both useless? You can't even handle such a small matter."

Then he sat down on the ground and started howling, "Dongxu, wake up quickly. As soon as you left, people started bullying the orphans and widows. Take these people away."

Liu Haizhong was furious. He had done things for the Jia family with good intentions, but he didn't expect to end up with such a bad reputation. Liu Haizhong turned his face away and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, I can't take care of the Jia family's affairs anymore. You should come in person."

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard. Yi Zhonghai called out to Liu Haizhong from behind, but Liu Haizhong didn't even turn around.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang with disgust, then turned and left, leaving Jia Zhang sitting on the ground pretending to cry. The neighbors around her were all busy with their own things and no one came forward to persuade her.

After crying for a while, Jia Zhang saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she got up, patted her butt, ran into the house, lay down on the kang, and soon a deafening snoring sound could be heard.

The neighbors in the yard shook their heads and looked at Qin Huairu with pity in their eyes. With such a mother-in-law, Qin Huairu's life would be difficult in the future.

Qin Huairu witnessed the whole scene. Although her face was sad, she was very happy in her heart. The more her mother-in-law acted, the more pitiful her character became popular among the people. From then on, no one in this courtyard would say bad things about her.

In the front yard, Father Li was talking to Yan Bugui, and of course he also heard Jia Zhang's voice. With her loud voice, it was hard not to hear it, but Father Li did not bother with this widow. It was just that it was impossible for him to take care of their family affairs again.

The courtyard was bustling with activity, and Li Tianyi had also arrived at Li Huaide's office. Li Huaide was extremely worried at the moment. A worker had died during his tenure, which was no small matter. At the very least, he could forget about any promotion in the next few years.

Seeing Li Tianyi, Li Huaide quickly invited him to the sofa. As soon as he sat down, Li Huaide asked, "Tianyi, are you here for what happened yesterday afternoon as well?"

Li Tianyi nodded, then told Li Huaide what he had just discovered. Li Huaide's originally worried face immediately turned sunny. He stood up and wanted to ask someone to find the head of the security department, but was stopped by Li Tianyi.

"Uncle, how is the factory going to deal with this matter?"

"How else can we deal with it? Of course we have to follow the normal procedures."

"In this case, will the Jia family not get any compensation?"

Li Huaide nodded. "Yes, it's good that the factory didn't hold them responsible for damaging the machine. At most they'll give them 100 yuan as a consolation."

Li Tianyi shook his head and said, "Uncle, this is not wrong to handle things this way, but it is not humane and it is not good for your reputation."

"Oh? Why?" Li Huaide was very puzzled. He handled the matter according to the factory's rules and regulations. How could it affect his reputation?

"Is there something hidden in this matter?"

"Uncle, do you know the situation of the Jia family?"

Li Huaide really didn't know the specific situation of the Jia family. After all, there were more than 10,000 people in a factory, and as the factory director, it was impossible for him to know every family. Moreover, he had been busy since the accident yesterday afternoon, and he really didn't know the specific situation of the Jia family.

When Li Tian saw the bewildered look in Li Huaide's eyes, he knew that he didn't know the Jia family at all, so he started to explain the Jia family's situation, "If the factory only gives 100 yuan to the Jia family in this situation, do you think people who don't know the truth will gossip about you in the future?"

Li Huaide wiped the sweat from his head. Indeed, it would be inappropriate to deal with it in the way he had just done.

"How about this, Tianyi? The factory will give the Jia family 500 yuan, of which 200 yuan is compensation and 300 yuan is consolation. After all, the Jia family has lost their labor force and the family is left with orphans and widows. At the same time, the factory will explain the cause of the accident to the Jia family. After Qin Huairu gives birth, she can take over Jia Dongxu's shift and come to work in the factory."

"Okay, this way the Jia family won't be able to find fault with us." Li Tianyi sighed in his heart, he is worthy of being the one who laughs last, his brain is really useful.

Now that the countermeasures had been discussed, Li Huaide immediately found the head of the security department, explained the situation to him, and then convened a meeting of the factory committee to implement the plan.

Li Tianyi did not participate in these things. He returned to the office and continued reading.

Soon the factory clerk came to the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to greet them. The clerk did not waste any words and explained the cause of the accident to Yi Zhonghai. Because Jia Zhang was sleeping, Qin Huairu stayed with Yi Zhonghai this time.

After the clerk finished speaking, Qin Huairu glanced at Yi Zhonghai implicitly. Yi Zhonghai nodded secretly, indicating that Qin Huairu should agree. Although Qin Huairu wanted to ask for more, since the factory had already investigated the cause of the accident, it was not afraid of them making trouble, so the best option at the moment was to quit while she was ahead.

So Qin Huairu signed the accident report and took 500 yuan from the clerk.

The clerk stood up and said goodbye. After Yi Zhonghai saw him out the door, he returned to his home. At this time, Qin Huairu had not left yet.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Qin Huairu had something to say when he saw this, so he signaled to Qin Huairu, who immediately understood, "Uncle Yi, Dongxu is gone. As his wife, I will abide by what Dongxu promised you before."

Yi Zhonghai nodded calmly. He knew Qin Huairu had more to say, "But you also know what kind of person my mother-in-law is. Once the money is in her hands, it is impossible to get it out again, so..."

"Do you want to keep some of the money?" Yi Zhonghai said for her.

Qin Huairu nodded, "Yes, I want to leave 200 yuan as a guarantee for me and my child in the future, but I don't know how to deal with my mother-in-law later." After saying that, Qin Huairu lowered her head, looking like a delicate little white flower.

Yi Zhonghai's heart moved, looking at the white neck, Yi Zhonghai's thoughts began to stir.

"Don't worry about this. I will tell your mother-in-law."

"Thank you, Uncle Yi." After saying that, Qin Huairu handed 300 yuan to Yi Zhonghai and walked out of the house. Yi Zhonghai calmed down his restlessness and then left the house.
