Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

When Qin Huairu heard that Banggeng's cry for help came from the Lin family, her face suddenly changed and she immediately ran to the Lin family with her big belly.

At this time, Li Xiangyun and several women who came out of the middle courtyard also rushed over, curiously listening to the cries for help from the Lin family, and then followed over.

Qin Huairu didn't care that this was the Lin family at this moment. When she saw that the door of the Lin family was not locked, she immediately pushed open the door and rushed into the Lin family.

At this time, the neighbors in the yard also gathered over and looked towards the house. Qin Huairu followed the sound and rushed to the kitchen. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Banggeng lying on the floor with blood all over his head. There was an iron pot next to him. His right hand was trembling and raised in the air, with a large mousetrap in his hand.

Qin Huairu screamed immediately and tears welled up in her eyes. Banggeng was not only Jia Zhang's treasure, but also Qin Huairu's favorite!

Seeing Bang Geng's condition, Qin Huairu rushed in with her big belly, squatted on the ground, hugged Bang Geng, covered the wound on his forehead, and cried out in horror: "Come and save him! My Bang Geng is injured! Help!"

Hearing Qin Huairu's screams and Bang Geng's hysterical howling, the people in the yard looked at each other and saw that this was the Lin family! Why would Bang Geng let out such a ghostly howl in the Lin family?

But after hearing Bang Geng's screams and Qin Huairu's terrified cries for help, everyone was too careless to care about anything else as human lives were at stake. They all rushed into Lin Geng's house and immediately turned around and ran to the kitchen.

When they entered the kitchen, the scene in front of them scared everyone. They saw Bang Geng with blood all over his head and face, lying in Qin Huairu's arms, with a large mousetrap in his hand. He was screaming in pain like a little wild boar that had been shot.

The kitchen of Lin Geng's house was clean and tidy. A "huge" piece of greasy meat with fat and lean meat was hung on the beam. There was a bench upside down on the ground with an iron pot on it.

So the smart people immediately figured out why Banggeng appeared here and was injured.

This idiot must have seen Lin Geng forget to lock the door when he went out, so he sneaked into Lin's house and ran to the kitchen to steal the big piece of pork that Lin Geng brought back. He couldn't reach it, so he moved a stool and tried to pick the meat off the cupboard. However, he didn't expect that Lin Geng placed a mousetrap on the cupboard to prevent mice.

Banggeng was short and couldn't see above the cupboard. When he reached up to the cupboard, he touched the mousetrap, which caught his hand tightly. The pain caused him to overturn the bench and then he pulled down the iron pot on the stove next to him and it hit his head, causing his skull to split open instantly. He then lay on the ground injured.

So the neighbors in the yard accused Banggeng of being a thief. He deserved his bad luck for breaking into houses at such a young age.

Qin Huairu held Banggeng and tried to pry open the mousetrap on his hand, but the mousetrap was large and very elastic. Even a man had difficulty opening it. No matter how hard Qin Huairu tried, she couldn't open it, and Banggeng screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered.

Qin Huairu panicked and knelt on the ground crying and begging neighbors for help to save Banggeng. The mousetrap had caught three of Banggeng's fingers, and the tips of his fingers had begun to turn purple. If it was not opened, Banggeng's fingers might be broken.

It was not until this time that the neighbors felt pity and began to come forward to help. They worked together to pry open the big mousetrap and rescue Banggeng's finger.

But looking at Banggeng's fingers again, they were now deformed. It was obvious that the bones of his fingers had been broken by the huge force of the mousetrap. Banggeng was screaming in pain, sweat all over his head, and crying his heart out.

Qin Huairu was really scared when she saw how painful the stick was, his fingers were crooked, and there was a big cut on his head with blood flowing out. She tilted her head, rolled her eyes, and fainted on the ground with both heartache and fear.

As neighbors in the same courtyard, seeing Qin Huairu fainted from fright and Banggeng in so much pain, although they felt that Banggeng deserved it, they also felt a little bit sorry for the mother and son who were now either an orphan or a widow.

So they hurriedly carried Qin Huairu and Bang Geng out of the Lin family. Someone suggested sending them to the nearest Red Star Hospital first, and then notifying Yi Zhonghai who was working at the factory.

It would also be best to notify Lin Geng at the same time. After all, Bang Geng suffered such serious injuries in his home, and Lin Geng must be informed.

So, whether the people in the yard were willing or not, out of sympathy, they worked together to find a cart, called out Yan Jiecheng from the Yan family and Liu Guangtian from the Liu family who were idle at home, and asked them to pull the cart to take the frightened Qin Huairu and Bang Geng to the hospital.

In addition, the people in the yard discussed it and asked Yan Bugui’s wife to go to the steel rolling mill to inform Yi Zhonghai who worked in the factory about this matter.

After all, since Yi Zhonghai divorced his wife Li Xiangyun, he has been eating at the Jia family these days, and Qin Huairu has also taken the initiative to do Yi Zhonghai's laundry.

However, the neighbors in the yard did not think much about it. They believed that Jia Dongxu was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice after all. Now that Jia Dongxu died, it was understandable for Yi Zhonghai to take care of his apprentice's widow and children. No one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Now that Qin Huairu's husband is dead, her mother-in-law is in jail, and Bang Geng is seriously injured, the people in the yard naturally think that the only one who can help them is Yi Zhonghai, so they ask Yan Bugui's wife to go to the steel mill to inform Yi Zhonghai.

As for Lin Geng, everyone knew that he went fishing, but no one knew where he went, so no one knew where to find him. We could only wait for him to return home.

When Qin Huairu was sent to the hospital, she woke up after a while. After the doctor examined her, he said that she was just frightened and it was not a big problem. The baby in her belly was also fine. She just needed to rest well and observe after returning home.

However, Bang Geng was sent to the hospital. After the doctor examined his injuries, he said that he was seriously injured. The wound on his forehead was not serious and could be fixed with a few stitches. However, the index, middle and ring fingers of his right hand were all broken by the mousetrap. He needed surgery, which would be quite expensive.

When Qin Huairu heard that Banggeng's three fingers were pinched off, she was so scared that she burst into tears and begged the doctor to save Banggeng's hand. He was still young, and if three fingers were broken at once, his life would be difficult in the future. How would he go to school? How would he find a wife when he grew up?

The doctor comforted Qin Huairu and said that children have strong recovery abilities and that Bang Geng only had a broken phalanx in his finger. After surgery and fixation, he would be able to recover quickly and should be able to recover well. It is unlikely that he would suffer amputation or disability.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a little relieved, so the doctor asked her to pay the fee first. The preliminary estimate of the surgery fee was more than 40 yuan.

Qin Huairu's heart tightened when she heard this. She didn't want to pay the forty-plus yuan herself. It was a considerable sum of money. Although she received the three hundred yuan pension given to Jia Dongxu by the factory, she had not yet taken over Jia Dongxu's job and still needed to make a living. She couldn't use the money to pay for Bang Geng's surgery.

In addition, she thought that she should not pay for this money. Banggeng was injured in the Lin family. His hand was injured by the mousetrap set by Lin Geng, and his head was smashed by the iron pot in Lin Geng's house. This money should be paid by Lin Geng, and Lin Geng should also compensate Banggeng for nutrition expenses. Otherwise, wouldn't Banggeng have suffered in vain for such a serious injury?

But the doctor urged her to pay the money and prepare for the operation, so Qin Huairu immediately showed a pitiful look and looked at the neighbors who sent her and Banggeng to the hospital with tears in her eyes.
