Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

After that, Jia Zhang started to put on all kinds of shows in the house, saying that Dongxu had low wages and that Qinhuai had a rural household registration and no ration and could only buy grain at high prices. In short, the point was that there was no grain and no life.

The sound was as loud as a radio loudspeaker. Soon, everyone in the yard gathered at the door of the Jia family again. They were talking about what had happened in the house when they heard a creaky sound and the door of the Jia family opened.

The old farmer walked out of the house expressionlessly, and no one from the Jia family came out to see him off. Only Qin Huairu followed behind him and said something with tears in her eyes.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

The old farmer sighed, patted Qin Huairu on the shoulder and said.

"Girl, you have nothing to be sorry about. It's just that your father is incapable. Go back and rest with your big belly. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Qin Huairu did not go back to the house but walked her father out of the gate. She watched her father walk away until he could no longer be seen before she went back. However, she was obviously a little dazed on the way back. Fortunately, an old lady nearby noticed that something was wrong with her and came over to help her.

Zhao Shanhe's hearing was better than others, and he knew that this would be the result if Qin Huairu's father came to borrow grain.

It is understandable that the Jia family has no food. After all, Jia Dongxu’s ration is limited, and the Jia family does not have enough to eat every month and has to go to the Pigeon Market to buy some expensive food.

But here comes the question: does the Jia family have money? The answer is definitely yes. You know, when Lao Jia passed away, the factory gave him a pension, and when Dongxu got married, the Jia family also bought a sewing machine.

Since he had money, he could go to the Pigeon Market to buy grain and lend it to Qin Huairu's father. Jia Zhang's crying poor in the house was just a way of not wanting to lend. And how could Qin Huairu, who had lived in the Jia family for so many years, not know the situation of the Jia family?

Just as I was wondering whether this incident would cause conflict within the Jia family, I heard an aunt suddenly shout.

"Huai Ru, what's wrong with you? Huai Ru? Don't scare me, someone come quickly......"

Following the shouting, a group of people gathered in the yard. The third aunt was the closest and saw the bloodstains on Qin Huairu's pants at a glance, and hurriedly said.

"Qin Huairu is bleeding. This may mean she is going into premature labor. She must be sent to the hospital immediately."

The yard was bustling with activity at this point. Some people went to call the Jia family members, while others were cheering and fanning the flames. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to make trouble.

"See, this is retribution. Even my own father doesn't care about me. God can't stand it anymore."

"What are you talking about? Qin Huairu was tricked by the matchmaker into marrying into the Jia family. Didn't you see that she was still washing clothes even though she was pregnant? Her mother-in-law only knows how to sew shoe soles all day long and doesn't do anything else."

"I hope there won't be two deaths. I don't know what Jia Dongxu is thinking. He doesn't care about his good wife and insists that she listen to him in everything. Just wait and see. This family will fall apart sooner or later."

"Stop talking. Jia Zhang is here. If she hears you talking about her son like that, she will definitely make trouble for you."

Jia Zhang was already feeling uncomfortable. Qin Huairu's father came to borrow grain, and he said he would pay it back after the summer harvest. He came to visit his in-laws with nothing. How poor was the family? What if he didn't pay it back? Could Qin Huairu go back to collect the debt?

Just when I was feeling upset, the door was slammed by someone outside, who said that Qin Huairu was about to give birth.

Jia Zhang still didn't care. What's the big deal about having a baby? It's the same as everyone else's. Is there any need to make such a fuss?

When she took Jia Dongxu out of the door, she found Qin Huairu lying unconscious on the ground with blood stains on his pants. It was obvious that something was going to happen.

Before she could say anything, Yi Zhonghai pushed through the crowd and walked over and said.

"Everyone, stop talking. Saving lives is the most important thing. Zhuzi, go to the next yard and ask Lao Wang to borrow a cart. Dongxu, you and your mother go home to get the money. When Zhuzi pushes the cart over, we can take Huairu to the hospital together. Where's Lao Liu? Where's the second uncle?"

At this time, Liu Haizhong was eating his eggs and drinking wine in the house. His skills were praised by the leader in the factory today. He was so happy that he drank two more glasses when he got home. He didn't expect that such a big thing would happen in the courtyard where nothing happened usually.

By the time he had almost finished drinking, several middle-aged women in the yard had already lifted Qin Huairu onto a cart, and Sha Zhu pushed the cart straight to the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong, so he followed them. After they left, Liu Haizhong staggered out and asked Liu Guangqi what happened in the yard.

After Liu Guangqi recounted to him what happened in the yard today, Liu Haizhong finally uttered a word after a long while.

"She deserves it. She is not filial to her own father. God must have mercy on her and let her suffer this misfortune."

On the other side of the hospital, Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu, Auntie and Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Qin Huairu being taken over by doctors and nurses.

Only Jia Zhang was still cursing and saying nonsense like there was no need to go to the hospital to waste money to give birth, and that in the past people would just hire a midwife to give birth at home.

On the way, Jia Dongxu also heard from an old lady that Qin Huairu fainted after sending her father away. His dissatisfaction with Jia Zhang's unwillingness to lend grain directly exploded.

"Mom, can you please shut up? If you hadn't driven my father-in-law away, Huairu wouldn't have been in a coma, let alone a premature birth. It's all your fault."

"Why do you blame me? Don't you know how much money you make a month? You have to buy expensive food with that little money. If I borrow food from your father-in-law, what will we eat? Do you really think you can keep yourself full?"

When Jia Zhang saw that Jia Dongxu, who usually obeyed her, dared to resist, she suddenly got angry.

But Jia Dongxu's heart was already on Qin Huairu at this time. It is said that a man forgets his mother when he gets a wife, and this is not said in vain.

"Do you really think I don't know what you're thinking? You just don't want to spend money.

You took my father's pension, I didn't fight with you, you asked me to hand over all my salary, I didn't fight with you, but what about you? What did you do? When you had nothing to do, you went to Dashilar to buy yourself some cooked food, or a roast chicken, or you could give some to Banggeng and Huairu, one of them is a child and the other is a pregnant woman, but you always ate by yourself before coming back, how selfish are you?

You clearly have money in your hand today, but you are reluctant to use it to help your father-in-law. Do you really think Qin Huairu knows nothing? If she hadn't been too sad, she wouldn't have fainted, let alone given birth prematurely. All this is caused by your selfishness.

From now on, I will not give you any more salary. If you don't agree, I will separate from you. Qin Huairu and I will move out and I will see how you live."

Jia Dongxu was really angry this time, and didn't give Jia Zhangshi any face at all. Jia Zhangshi was also confused. Didn't she just not lend grain to Old Qin? Dongxu, why did you do this?

But when she heard Jia Dongxu say that she would no longer hand over her salary, the old woman immediately quit. To her, that was not a salary, it was her life.

"Old Jia, please come back soon. You are such an unfilial son. Now that you have a wife, you no longer care about your mother........."

As he was howling, the hospital security guards came over.

"All of you please be quiet. This is a hospital, not someone's home. I see you guys have been chattering for a long time. If you continue to disturb public order, I will call the police to arrest you all.

Especially that fat woman, you have the loudest voice, if you keep yelling, get out of here."
