Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Seeing this, the nurse sighed, said a few words of comfort, and then left the ward.

Qin Huairu watched her walk away, then she wiped her tears and stopped sobbing. The first thing she thought of was to go back to the hospital and ask everyone to help raise money.

Looking at Jia Zhang who was lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet, she walked out of the ward regardless and headed towards the hospital gate.

When Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, it was very quiet. Even Yan Bugui and his wife were not at the gate of the courtyard, which was unusual. The door of the Yan family was closed at this time.

She calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and walked towards the house of the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai.

The last time my mother-in-law fell ill, Yi Zhonghai donated money and contributed his manpower, and also helped her take care of Banggeng and the others. If we ask him for help, our hopes should be greater.

Qin Huairu walked to the door of Yi's house while thinking with her head down. When she looked up, she was immediately stunned: the door of Yi's house was locked.

She shouted inside, "Uncle, are you there?" Then she pricked up her ears, but there was no sound in the room.

After waiting for a while, he kept calling Banggeng's name, thinking that as long as there was someone in the room, someone would answer him.

But the facts finally disappointed her. There was still no movement in the room. Qin Huairu suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in her heart.

She stood blankly in front of the Yi family's door for a moment, and finally turned around and left helplessly.

As she walked, her mind was full of thoughts. Now that the uncle was not at home, it would be difficult for others to lend a helping hand to her easily.

Just then, the second aunt came back to the yard after using the toilet and ran into Qin Huairu. Her first reaction was to lower her head and keep silent.

When Qin Huairu saw the second aunt, she immediately came up with an idea and took the initiative to greet her: "Second aunt, is the second uncle at home?"

When the second aunt heard Qin Huairu's question, she raised her head slightly, her eyes flickered, and she said hesitantly:

"Um, Huairu, your second uncle is out and not at home."

When Qin Huairu heard this, disappointment appeared in her eyes.

She originally thought that if the second uncle was at home, she might be able to ask him for help, but now it seems that this approach is not feasible.

When the second aunt saw that Qin Huairu didn't say anything, she immediately quickened her pace and walked back to the backyard, opening and locking the door in one go.

Liu Haizhong was sitting in the room, concentrating on repairing a broken stool leg.

The light in the room was not bright enough to begin with, and when Second Aunt slammed the door, the light in the room suddenly became much darker.

Liu Haizhong instantly became anxious and shouted, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm fixing something? You closed the door so I can't see clearly, open the door quickly."

When the second aunt heard what Liu Haizhong said, she also felt annoyed and responded unhappily:

"Why open the door? Qin Huairu is in the yard. I just ran into her. She was looking for you."

When Liu Haizhong heard Qin Huairu's name, his hand stopped moving. He frowned slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone:

"She must be looking for me for bad reasons. It must be because her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, sent her to the hospital. She has no money to pay for the treatment, so she asked me to help collect the money."

"Did you see Lao Yi in the middle courtyard when you came back? Why didn't Qin Huairu go to Lao Yi if she had something to do? I don't want to get involved in this thankless task."

When the second aunt heard this, she showed a satisfied look on her face and quickly agreed:

"That's right, that's why I closed the door in a hurry so that she couldn't find you. We can't let her bother us anymore."

"Last time, I worried about their family's affairs, but I didn't get any benefits. This time, I can't intervene anymore."

What they didn't know was that the moment Second Auntie stepped into the house, Qin Huairu quietly walked to the backyard.

She planned to wait for Liu Haizhong to come back to Liu's house and ask him for help. She thought that since the eldest uncle in the courtyard was not there, it would be most appropriate to ask the second uncle.

However, fate seemed to play a joke on her.

She never thought that she would hit the mark by accident and overhear the conversation between Liu Haizhong and the second aunt word for word.

Qin Huairu stood there in a daze, as if she was under a spell. After a long while, she walked back home silently.

After returning home, Qin Huairu fell into deep thought as she looked at her bare house.

In fact, she had saved a little money over the years, but it was not much, just a few dozen yuan.

She originally wanted to save this money for emergencies or for her children's future.

In Qin Huairu's heart, although Jia Zhang was her mother-in-law, she had never been kind to her. She always criticized her and blamed her, thinking that she was not doing well enough.

Knowing that her salary was not high, he still forced her to pay her pension every month, and often used the deceased Jia Dongxu to threaten her into submission.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt so angry that her heart itched, and her eyes gradually became determined.

Her mind kept emerging with the pension money saved by her mother-in-law and the compensation given by the factory when her deceased husband Jia Dongxu passed away.

Jia Zhang had always held the money tightly in her hands, as if it was her last straw, and she would never take it out easily.

Even when the family had no food to eat, my mother-in-law was unwilling to take some out to share the burden of the family, and she just held it tightly in her hand.

Qin Huairu bit her lip and thought, her mother-in-law is seriously ill now and needs money, so maybe that money can be used for emergency.

But she was a little hesitant. Jia Zhang valued the money more than her life. If she touched the money, her mother-in-law would definitely make a big fuss when she woke up.

But looking at this impoverished family and thinking about her mother-in-law who was still lying unconscious in the hospital, Qin Huairu knew that she could not hesitate any longer.

She decided to find the money first and cure her mother-in-law's illness. As for her reaction after waking up, she could only take it one step at a time.

However, Qin Huairu had no idea where her mother-in-law hid the compensation money and the pension money she saved. After all, she was guarding against herself as if she were a thief.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu began to search the house. She first fumbled under Jia Zhang's pillow and quilt, but unfortunately found nothing.

So I searched again in her closet and clothes, but strangely, I still found nothing.

Just as Qin Huairu was wondering where her mother-in-law hid the money, her eyes caught sight of the sewing basket she usually used to sew shoe soles.

When she carefully put away the needle and thread and lifted up the worn and yellowed cloth, she found a box hidden under the basket.

She opened the box nervously, and what came into her eyes was a neatly stacked stack of five-yuan bills. Qin Huairu counted them and found that there were more than a hundred yuan in total.

It's obvious that this money is the pension money that she usually gives to her. Each bill carries her hard work and helplessness.

Qin Huairu held the stack of money and thought, these five dollars were all the pension she had paid, so what about the compensation?
