Chapter 53: Eating melon seeds and watching a show

In fact, this question is not difficult to guess. The savior of the courtyard should be Yi Zhonghai, an old man living in the courtyard.

As an apprentice, Qin Huairu must clean up after get off work. She couldn't let her master do this, right? It was normal for her to let her master leave early. Qin Huairu also knew that Yi Zhonghai had nothing to do today, so he must have arrived home earlier than her after such a long time off work.

Xu Damao blocked the gate and went to pick a fight with Qin Huairu. He must have known that Yi Zhonghai was in the yard. By blocking Qin Huairu outside the door and arguing with her, he could better fight for his own interests.

While eating the melon seeds that Yan's mistress bought, Wang Gensheng turned around and said, "Mistress, go back to your house and get a stool to sit on. It's tiring to stand and watch the show. It's more comfortable to sit down."

What kind of people are these? It’s fine for them to eat melon seeds and watch others quarrel, but why do you need a place to sit?

The young Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at Wang Gensheng, which clearly meant that he wanted to get benefits before doing the job.

"Get lost, you little Grandet. You're lucky to have melon seeds to eat, but you still want some benefits? No way."

Let’s continue watching the show. The fight between the two people over there has reached its climax.

"Today, even if you say anything, your family must compensate me for the 203 yuan hospitalization fee, plus 20 yuan for nutrition expenses, a total of 223 yuan, not a cent less!"

"You are asking for 223 yuan? You might as well just kill me."

Not only Qin Huairu, but also the other people watching the show in the courtyard were shocked. The hospital fees were an astronomical figure for everyone present.

"You are awesome, Qin Huairu, wait a minute. Here is the bill from the hospital. Come and see, is it 203 yuan? I didn't cheat her, did I?"

Obviously, Xu Damao came prepared. He brought with him the bill issued by the hospital. This was clearly written.

Speaking of this matter, I am glad that it happened to Xu Damao.

After going around the entire courtyard, it is estimated that only Xu Damao's family and Daye's family have the financial strength to do so. If anyone else suffered the same injury, they probably wouldn't even be able to pay the hospital fees.

However, Xu Damao's hospital expenses should all be funded by Lou Xiao'e's parents, right?

With Xu Damao's personality and his salary level, he certainly couldn't save so much money. In the end, Lou Xiao'e had to bear the sky-high hospital bill alone.

The audience who were standing relatively close came forward to look at the receipt in Xu Damao's hand and nodded; it seemed that the accounts were indeed not false.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu's face suddenly fell.

She immediately changed her tactics. Her eyes were red and gradually filled with tears. She started crying as soon as she opened her mouth. She was acting again: "Xu Damao, it's no use trying to force me to death. Everyone knows that my mother-in-law is in charge of our family's money. She has all the money. Even if you force me to death, I can't give you any money."

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and everyone else in the courtyard nodded.

Everyone in the courtyard has witnessed the bad behavior of Old Lady Zhang from the Jia family. Everyone has also heard that the money of the Jia family is controlled by the old lady.

He nodded in understanding at what Qin Huairu said.

Xu Damao was of course aware of this situation, but he was so angry that veins popped out of his temples. However, he still insisted, no, he argued with reason, "Qin Huairu, I am also a worker at the steel mill. Don't think I don't know that my salary for this month was only paid a few days ago."

"Your Jia Zhang is still in the police station. She can't possibly take this month's salary from you. Where's your money? Give it to me!"

This was a fact. With so many Red Star Steel Mill workers watching in the yard, Qin Huairu had no way to deny it. She was stunned when she heard this. Tears welled up in her eyes, and beads as big as beans fell down.

This is, this is an upgrade of the performance!

Sure enough, Qin Huairu squatted there and cried, her voice so loud that everyone watching the show could hear clearly: "I won't live anymore, Xu Damao, you want to kill my widow and me! My family depends on this salary to survive, you take all the salary away at once, what will we eat and drink? Are you just waiting to starve to death?"

Wang Gensheng, who was watching the show, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Qin Huairu is so powerful, what a good attack on the weak point. With this move, it will be really difficult for Xu Damao to deal with it.

Sure enough, this attack was very effective. Xu Damao also felt that what Qin Huairu said made some sense. No matter how right he was, he couldn't let several people go without food.

After thinking for a while, Xu Damao gave in again and said, "Your monthly salary is 23 yuan, so take 20 yuan first; the remaining 3 yuan can be used as living expenses."

This statement sounded quite humane, and he also knew that he must not push others into a desperate situation.

The audience also nodded in agreement, approving of Xu Damao's approach.

But Qin Huairu, who was squatting on the ground, cried even louder, "Wuwu..."

While crying, she sobbed and said, "Only three dollars a month for me, and you're leaving our whole family to starve? There are four people in our family, and each person doesn't even have one dollar a month. What can we eat?"

There is nothing wrong with what she said.

But Xu Damao's eyes widened, and he jumped up and down and shouted, "Qin Huairu, don't push your luck. Don't think I don't know just because I was discharged from the hospital: you get help from the uncle's family every month, and you wash clothes for Sha Zhu's family. He also gives you 9 kilograms of cornmeal every month, and Sha Zhu brings lunch boxes to your family every now and then. Use all the 3 yuan to buy cornmeal, which is enough for your family to live on."

After careful calculation, everyone found that if the 3 yuan was used to buy more than 20 kilograms of corn flour.

Add the 9 kilograms of noodles donated by Comrade He Yuzhu, plus the help from the old man next door, and that's about 40 kilograms of noodles for the month. An ordinary family can really survive. Didn't you see that the third old man's family also managed to survive in the past few years?

These 40 kilograms of corn flour are mainly for the three children; Qin Huairu has to go to work and can eat two meals in the steel rolling mill canteen, so she doesn't need much food at home.

For three children under ten years old, these 40 kilograms are indeed enough to feed them for a month. Xu Damao did not make a mistake in his calculations.

Just hearing these words, Wang Gensheng became angry for no reason.

This idiot Zhu still hasn't broken the habit of bringing lunch boxes from the cafeteria, and he secretly helps Qin Huairu every now and then!

No wonder, the two of them worked together to capture an enemy spy and were rewarded with a work target; but He Yuzhu got no reward at all.

There must be something wrong in this process?
