Now what Xu Damao said is simply slander. The three grandfathers were reused by the residents' committee and have managed the family fairly well over the years. Everyone agrees on this. As for the matter between Xu Damao and the Jia family, the police have already intervened, and this is beyond our ability to reach. "

"Boss Liu said it well, Xu Damao, what is your intention in saying this? Because of the grudges between you and the Jia family, you can choose not to donate. But now you are ** others to do the same thing as you, and even slandering the Third Uncle. What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to win over everyone to watch him die without helping?" Boss Liu immediately stood up and spoke in support.

Next to him, the third uncle also stood up with an angry face, stared at Xu Damao and scolded him in a deep voice: "Xu Damao, your intentions are sinister. If you think we handled it unfairly, you can report it to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. But you can't make up stories to slander us!"

Seeing the three elders forming a formation to fight against him, Xu Damao couldn't help but feel panic in his heart, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Alas, three grandfathers, I didn't mean that, but isn't what I said also true? We are not stupid, I know that my money is still in the Jia family, and they really don't need extra money.

Of course, you can believe it or not. I won’t donate anyway.” After saying that, he fled, fearing that if he continued, the three seniors would join forces to kick him out.

"Humph, you are a sinister and cunning villain." Boss Liu cursed fiercely, and then turned to the crowd, "Everyone should contribute a little to this fundraising. I, the second in command of the courtyard, will donate 3 yuan first, hoping to help the Jia family tide over the difficulties."

After Xu Damao left, Boss Liu took the initiative to step forward and take the lead. Upon hearing this, everyone also started to take out their own change to prepare donations.

"Since the second in command donated 3 yuan, then I, the eldest brother, will donate 5 yuan." Yi Zhonghai took out a five-yuan bill and put it on the table with a smile on his face.

"Given my family's situation, I can't afford to give much. For the sake of the Jia family, I will be frugal and donate one dollar." The third uncle carefully took out the one dollar he had prepared for a long time and put it on the table, obviously feeling distressed.

Everyone had no objection to this, because everyone knew that the Chen family depended on the third uncle to support the family. In this way, people donated 50 cents to 1 yuan, and soon there were more than 20 yuan on the table, which was not a small amount.

Now, there are only four people left in the Jia family. According to the standard of needing 5 yuan ** per month to escape poverty, these donations are enough to support their family's living expenses for one month.

"Honey, can we donate some too?" Wang Qian asked quietly when she saw He Yuzhu lying quietly without moving or speaking.

After hearing her words, He Yuzhu shook his head slightly and whispered: "Forget it, donating this little money will not do any good, and I will not feel comfortable if it is too much, so it is better not to donate."

"Forget it then." Wang Qian nodded. Anyway, the family's finances were managed by He Yuzhu. Since he had made the decision, there was no need for her to object.

After the donation activity was over, Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu who did not donate, but said nothing. He himself did not want to donate the money, but as the dean, he still had to set an example.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai collected all the money, sorted it out and handed it to Qin Huairu: "This is a gift from me and others. It's not much, but it can help your family have a good New Year. Your right hand is injured, just rest at home and go back to work in the factory when you are well. I have already arranged a workshop."

Qin Huairu took the money with tears in her eyes, bowed deeply, and said with emotion: "Thank you all for your help. After my family gets through this difficult time, if you need any help, please let us know."

Seeing how sensible Qin Huairu was, everyone felt relieved even under the pressure of such donations. They expressed their understanding and concern, and advised her to rest well and recover from her injuries.

"Okay, just focus on recovering from your injuries." Yi Hai said with a smile and motioned for everyone to leave.

After returning home, He Yuzhu gave Wang Qian some melon seeds to peel, and he started to practice Bajiquan. Wang Qian was very supportive of this, as it could improve her physique while she could enjoy watching her husband exercise, which was really a win-win situation.

In this way, while Wang Qian was eating melon seeds and slurping, she admired her six-pack abs and mermaid line that were soaked in sweat. She kept smiling and her eyes were filled with spring-like warmth.

"Huh." When He Yuzhu finished practicing boxing and exhaled, Wang Qian on the other side had already prepared the bath water.

Then came an enviable bath for two...

After washing up, the tired Wang Qian was gently put on the bed to rest, while He Yuzhu poured out the hot water and returned to her side.

Suddenly, the sheriff came back from outside and saw that the door was closed, so he meowed on his own initiative.

When He Yuzhu heard the call, he immediately got up, opened the door and let it in.

"Meow!"

The sheriff rubbed his trouser legs and called out, "Where has this little guy been these days? I thought you were lost."

He held the Sheriff in his arms lovingly and asked with a smile.

Since he took it to the steel mill, the little guy often disappeared. Especially after he married Wang Qian, the guy no longer stayed on the stool at the door of his house every day.

While stroking the cat, He Yuzhu felt the round little belly and realized that the little guy was not hungry, so he felt relieved.

"Okay, go to sleep by the stove." He stood up, found the torn clothes and put them on the stool, then gently put the sheriff down and gave the order.

As if understanding his command, the sheriff meowed, then lay quietly on the ground and never moved again.

It was strange. Since they got married, the sheriff had never jumped on the bed to sleep with him again, and he didn't even come into the room. Wang Qian also liked this little guy very much, but it was a pity that it was not close enough to her. Sometimes He Yuzhu had to put it in her arms by himself.

Looking at the watch, it was already 11:30 in the evening. The bath lasted more than an hour. No wonder Wang Qian felt sleepy as soon as she lay down.

"Forget it, go to bed, it's getting late."

After patting the police chief gently, He Yuzhu went to bed and fell into a deep sleep holding Wang Qian.

The two of them fell asleep, but the sisters Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru could not fall asleep.

This was because of Wang Qian's unintentional exclamation just now. As women, they understood the meaning behind it.

"Sister, I feel a little regretful now." Qin Jingru suddenly said this in the dark night.

"Is regret useful? The other party had already agreed to a blind date with you. If you hadn't listened to Xu Damao's nonsense, the person lying in Sha Zhu's arms would be you. And you wouldn't be in this predicament now." Qin Huairu whispered to comfort him.

Hearing her sister say this, Qin Jingru remained silent, but her knees became even tighter.

That night, there were no more words, only the silent night.

A new day has arrived, and the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month has quietly begun. This is the day when the steel mill will stop production for the year. For those who can have a holiday early, they are naturally very happy; but for others, they can't help but feel a little worried.

Early in the morning, just after six o'clock, He Yuzhu woke up naturally without being called, continued his Baguazhang training, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and washed his clothes.

After making breakfast, seeing Wang Qian still sleeping, He Yuzhu gently woke her up: "Wife, get up, it's already 7:30."

Wang Qian slowly opened her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Honey, I feel so tired!"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard his wife's hoarse voice. He carefully helped her up, then dressed her, and chuckled, "Dear, your physique doesn't seem to be very good. It seems that you need to strengthen your exercise!"

Wang Qian couldn't hide this. She shyly patted his chest and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying. With your current physical condition, I'm worried that I can't handle your craziness every day."

Recalling the passionate bathing experience last night, Wang Qian's cheeks remained slightly red. She sat for a long time before she felt tired and got up to wash.

After finishing breakfast, seeing her tired face, He Yuzhu smiled and suggested: "Wife, it's still early. The factory starts work relatively late. Let me take you there this morning. You can lean on my waist and take a nap along the way."

"Okay." Wang Qian readily agreed and was happy to receive this care.

Before going out, they locked the door together, and He Yuzhu took the bicycle and accompanied Wang Qian to their workplace.

"Good morning, Auntie." He Yuzhu and Wang Qian took the initiative to greet them in front of the yard.

The three aunts looked up and asked in confusion: "Hey, why is there only one person riding a bicycle today? Is there something wrong with that bicycle?"

Wang Qian's cheeks flushed when she heard this. It was inconvenient to explain in detail, so He Yuzhu smiled and said, "It's okay. She had insomnia last night and may not have slept well, so she asked me to take her home today. It won't take too long to ride a bike."

"Oh, I really envy you. Not only do you and your husband both have decent jobs, but you are still so loving after marriage. It's really rare." The third aunt was full of envy and praise.

Without stopping any longer, He Yuzhu urged, "Forget it, Auntie, Wang Qian is going to be late, please be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to the three aunts, He Yuzhu asked Wang Qian to sit in the back seat he had specially reinforced, and then rode to her police station, which was an adjacent area, about five kilometers away from their courtyard. It took ten to twenty minutes to go back and forth to work by bicycle alone.

Time flies, He Yuzhu pedals hard, and because of his skillful skills, Wang Qian, who is sitting on the back seat, feels as if only a few minutes have passed before they reach their destination.

"Honey, we're at the entrance of your workplace." He Yuzhu stopped the car and whispered, and when he saw that Wang Qian didn't get out of the car, he added.

"You're here so soon, just like a few minutes ago. Thank you so much, dear, you're so thoughtful." Wang Qian was awakened by the cold. She looked much more energetic, but her haggard face was still visible, which made He Yuzhu feel distressed.

"Come in quickly, it's cold outside. I'll pick you up and take you home for dinner in the evening." He promised with a smile.

"Really, there's no need to trouble you. Aren't Yu Shui and the others coming to our house for a dinner tonight? You can go home and cook first. If you can't, I'll just take the bus back." Wang Qian wanted He Yuzhu to pick her up, but she didn't want to delay his cooking time, so she seemed a little hesitant.
