Under normal circumstances, Jia Zhang would watch over the house covetously every day. In order to avoid being criticized, Qin Huairu didn't dare to touch her things at all.

Now that she has finally caught the opportunity when her mother-in-law is not at home, this is such a good opportunity, how can Qin Huairu let it go so easily.

So after putting the stack of money into her bag, Qin Huairu's eyes wandered around the house, thinking that the compensation money must have been hidden by Jia Zhang in some extremely secret place.

She began to recall Jia Zhang's daily behavior, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, she remembered that Jia Zhang had secretly gotten up in the middle of the night several times and she didn't know what she was doing.

Qin Huairu's heart moved. Could it be that her mother-in-law was checking where the compensation money was hidden at that time? She began to carefully check the places in the room that might have been touched by Jia Zhang in the middle of the night.

She checked under the table first, but found nothing there except some worn-out shoes that she had collected and was reluctant to throw away.

Then she turned her attention to an old painting on the wall, but after carefully taking it down, she still found nothing.

Qin Huairu was a little anxious. Her mother-in-law was still in the hospital with no one by her side. If the nurse found out, she would probably scold her.

She paced back and forth in the room, trying to calm herself down, and at this moment, her eyes fell on the cotton coat on the kang.

That was Jia Zhang's cotton-padded clothes, neatly folded and placed next to her pillow. Usually, the pillow, which was used as a stick, was covered with a pillowcase.

Qin Huairu walked over, lifted the pillowcase, picked up the cotton coat and shook it a few times, and something wrapped in cloth fell out.

She was a little excited and opened the cloth bag carefully with trembling hands. Inside was a thick stack of money and some bills.

Qin Huairu counted the money twice and finally confirmed that this was the compensation given by the factory. Looking at the money, she felt very complicated.

She was happy about finding the money, but also dissatisfied with Jia Zhangshi. When the family was in financial difficulty, she complained until her mouth was dry, but Jia Zhangshi just kept the money and did nothing.

Qin Huairu's thoughts instantly drifted back to the past, those days when she had to run around just for a bite to eat.

She had carefully tried to curry favor with those who could help in the factory, just to bring back some food for the children.

Those moments when she forced herself to smile, those moments when she was touched by unruly hands, were now replaying in her mind like a movie.

Thinking of this, her hands unconsciously clenched the stack of money, and her knuckles turned slightly white.

After a while, he sneered and said to himself: "No matter how well it is hidden, it still needs to be returned to its original owner."

Qin Huairu stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about what to do next.

Finally, they decided to hide the compensation money first, and then take the stack of five-yuan notes to the hospital to pay for Jia Zhang's medical expenses.

When Qin Huairu opened the door and walked out, the central courtyard was still the same as when she had just returned. Apart from a few children playing, there was no adult in sight.

The front yard was not much better. Except for Lin Donglai's door, which was open, all the doors of other houses were closed.

The funniest thing was that when the third aunt came back from outside and saw Qin Huairu, she immediately turned around and quickened her pace to walk out of the alley.

Qin Huairu looked at the actions of the third aunt and felt a sense of sadness in her heart.

She shook her head helplessly and continued walking towards the hospital. When she arrived at the hospital, Qin Huairu walked to the cashier's office to handle the relevant procedures.

The sharp-eyed nurse saw this and immediately came over and scolded him rudely: "The patient is not awake yet, how can you, as a family member, walk away?"

"That's so irresponsible. Once you've paid the fee, go back to the ward and keep watch!" He said as he rolled his eyes at her.

Qin Huairu was feeling happy after finding the compensation money, so she was not easily hurt by the nurse's words and responded with a smile.

It was not until he returned to the ward and saw Jia Zhang lying quietly on the bed that his dissatisfaction surged up again.

On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Jia Zhang's illness would cause him trouble again, so he took the three Banggeng siblings to the park to play for most of the day before he dared to return to the courtyard.

As he wished, when he returned to the yard, there was no sign of any noise. He breathed a sigh of relief: he had finally avoided it.

After all, he is not in his prime. After playing with several children for most of the day, he feels sore in his back, waist and legs and is very tired.

After Banggeng and his two sisters went home and looked around, they found that their grandmother and mother were not at home, so they went to Yi Zhonghai's house and said to him:

"Grandpa Yi, there's no one at home and nothing to eat. We're all hungry. Can you make us something to eat?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the pitiful appearance of the three Banggeng siblings and wanted to refuse. After all, he was exhausted and didn't want to go through any more trouble.

But thinking that he had already left a good impression on Bang Geng, he couldn't give up halfway, so he forced himself to say, "Okay, you guys wait here first, I'll go see if there's anything to eat."

He dragged his tired body into the kitchen to make noodles for the children, and even put an egg at the bottom of Banggeng's bowl.

From that night on, several children moved into the Yi family. Yi Zhonghai let Banggeng sleep in his bed and told him a story before going to bed.

Banggeng is a very happy kid who doesn't want to leave. He has food to eat, things to play with, and he doesn't have to do homework. He wishes his grandma and mom could come home after some time.

Here at the hospital.

It was not until the third day that Jia Zhang slowly opened her eyes and looked at everything in front of her, her eyes full of confusion.

She moved her body and felt weak all over. At this moment, Qin Huairu happened to be nearby. Seeing Jia Zhang wake up, she felt happy and nervous.

When she saw a white cloud in front of her eyes, Jia Zhang realized that she was sent to the hospital again, so she asked, "What happened to me? How long have I been in the hospital?"

Qin Huairu patiently explained to her the reasons for her illness and the time she had been in the hospital.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang frowned, recalled what happened before she fell ill, and immediately struggled to sit up.

But she found that her body was somewhat out of control. She felt numbness on the left side of her body, and her left hand and left foot were weak.

She was so anxious that she asked hurriedly: "Huai Ru, what's wrong with me? Why can't I sit up?"

Just then, the doctor came in, examined Jia Zhang and told them that the numbness in the body, hands and feet were sequelae of a stroke.

You will need to undergo rehabilitation treatment afterwards. As long as you persist in the treatment and keep your emotions stable, there is still a chance to return to normal.

After hearing what the doctor said, Jia Zhang's face turned very ugly. She didn't expect that she would suffer such a sequelae. Her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

When Qin Huairu heard that follow-up treatment would be needed, her face changed immediately, and her first reaction was: It would cost more money, so I might as well not treat it.
