Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Qin Huairu knelt down in front of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru. She really had no other choice.

Tears streamed down her face, not because of Jia Dongxu, but because of why her life was so miserable.

By marrying Jia Dongxu, she finally fulfilled her dream of leaving the countryside and marrying into a big city. However, she met a wicked mother-in-law and her husband was a mama's boy. But she could get through it by enduring it.

That year, he could have transferred his household registration to the city, but his mother-in-law delayed it because she was greedy for petty gains. As a result, Jia Dongxu is now supporting a family of five by himself. He thought he could get by with everyone's help, but he didn't expect the ration to be reduced suddenly again?

After giving birth to Xiaodang, my mother-in-law always disliked Xiaodang for being a money-loser, and she basically didn't spend the confinement period. Moreover, at home, whenever there was something delicious or drinkable, Jia Zhang would eat it first, followed by Jia Dongxu, Banggeng, and finally her turn. To put it bluntly, when it was her turn, having a whole steamed bread was considered a good deed by Jia Zhang that day. And what she drank was the water used to wash the pot, which was obtained by washing the pot with boiling water after they finished eating the porridge...

Not to mention washing clothes with cold water in the middle of winter during the confinement period, this is already a small matter.

It would be fine if I suffered a little, as long as the children were well fed. Aren't mothers all for their children? But I couldn't even eat, and my milk supply was gone. Xiaodang's weight had dropped sharply recently, and his complexion was getting worse. I asked Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi for this matter several times, but they ignored me.

He also said that the loser was not worthy of eating the Jia family's food. Even if he starved to death, it was because you, as a mother, had no milk. You killed yourself, the loser.

Is this something my mother-in-law would say?

Then two days ago, I don’t know what kind of trouble Jia Dongxu got into outside, but both of his legs were broken by someone, and the murderer has not been found yet.

I came back after the hospital fixed the bone because I didn't have the money to stay in the hospital, and since it wasn't a work injury, my medical expenses wouldn't be reimbursed.

Jia Dongxu was paralyzed at home, and there was also a guy with a broken leg, while Jia Zhangshi did nothing but order Qin Huairu to do this and that every day. They finally ran out of food yesterday, and Qin Huairu went around to borrow food, but no one was willing to lend them food?

So, the desperate Jia family ordered Qin Huairu to go back to her parents' home to borrow money and grain.

Before leaving, he said that if I had less than 100 yuan and 100 kilograms of fine grain, I would not be able to go back.

Not to mention whether they could borrow so much, didn't they consider how Qin Huairu could carry 100 kilograms of food in the middle of winter while holding Xiaodang? Moreover, in the wilderness, she was hungry and cold, and she was alone carrying Xiaodang, who was only a few months old, back and forth between Sijiucheng and Qinjiatun. Wasn't she afraid that something might happen to her and her daughter?

The Jia family really didn't treat Qin Huairu as a human being, and Qin Huairu really had no choice.

After hearing all this, everyone fell silent.

Only Qin's mother kept wiping away tears. No matter how bad her daughter was, she was still a piece of her flesh and blood. But if she lent her money and food, what would she do for her own family?

The problem now is very simple. There are two sons in the family. The eldest son has already started a family and his wife is pregnant. The younger son is also skinny. If I lend money and food to Qin Huairu, there is an 80% chance that one of my family will starve to death. This is no joke.

And the most crucial problem is, 100 yuan and 100 kilograms of fine grain...they can't even afford it even if they sell everything they have.

Nowadays, you have to remember to eat according to the amount of food you eat.

Qin Dashan and Qin Dahe were still smoking their pipes. It wasn't that they were heartless, but they were their own children, so how could they not save them?

But how to save?

A daughter who is married off is like water spilled on the ground. This is a deeply rooted idea in this era. If you have to choose between your own son and a married daughter, 90% of people will choose the son these days. There is no other way.

Xu Damao was puzzled: "Didn't Yi Zhonghai get donations?" Why didn't Yi Zhonghai jump out in this situation?

Qin Huairu: "I was scared by you last time. I went to find an old man, but he refused to organize donations..."

"Then... you didn't borrow money from Yi Zhonghai? After all, Jia Dongxu is his apprentice. He should take care of the life and death of his apprentice's family, right?"

"He has borrowed money many times recently... Even the cost of Dongxu Banggeng Hospital was paid by him..."

"Didn't your family have any savings before?"

"Last time, because of you... I withdrew all of it... But my mother-in-law refused to give out Dongxu's father's pension, saying it was her retirement money and no one was allowed to touch it..."

"What about Liu Haizhong? He's a big shot now. It's ok to ask him for help, right?"

"He said that even Guang Tian Guang Fu in his family was hungry..."

"Where's Shazhu? He won't refuse to lend you money if you ask him for it, right?"

"He has already compensated you. The factory also fined him. He has already paid out all of last month's salary. Now he is eating cornmeal porridge at home..."

[I am RNM?! What kind of people are they? ]

Xu Damao scratched his head. He really didn't expect that the people in this hospital would be so ruthless.

He was not in the courtyard these days. After discovering that the price of grain in the pigeon market had risen, everyone was panicking. Borrowing grain or money at this time? No way!

[But... why do I feel like this has something to do with me? If it weren't for what happened to me before, the Jia family should still be able to afford the meal or donations, right? ]

As soon as he looked up, he saw Qin Huairu staring at him with resentful eyes.

Xu Damao immediately became anxious: "Hehehe, Qin Huairu, let's be honest. It's wrong for you to collect donations, and because of your family's affairs, Sha Zhu almost killed me. I didn't seek revenge on your family, which is considered a righteous act. You can't blame me for not having food to eat now."

Qin Dashan and Qin Dahe looked at each other. Is there something going on here?

So he forced Qin Huairu to tell the story of what happened in the yard again, in front of her parents, with Xu Damao also present, and Qin Huairu did not lie.

After hearing this, everyone, including Qin Jingru, widened their eyes. My goodness, what kind of place did you marry into? It's just a bandit's den!

I thought that my daughter's life would at least be better if she married into the city than in the countryside, right?

But I didn't expect it to be worse than the countryside, it's just like being a nanny?

And even if you work as a nanny, you still have to provide food, accommodation and pay, right?

"No! I'm going to settle accounts with them for bullying my daughter!"

Qin Dashan's eyes turned red at that moment, and he threw away his pipe and was about to ask someone to go to the city. But Qin Huairu hugged his legs and wailed, "Dad, if you leave now, how can I live in the yard in the future?"

Qin Dahe also grabbed his brother and said, "Boss, Huairu's family has two people with broken arms and legs lying in bed and no food, and there is only a mother-in-law at home. We are coming here at this time, in front of the old, weak and disabled people in the family, what explanation do you want them to give?"

"Is this to support Huairu or to bully others?"

"Even if we go there to support Huairu, she still has to take care of the whole family, right? When we come back, Huairu will be bullied again. This problem still hasn't been solved!"

"Then what do you say we should do? I don't care! If my daughter marries into a poor family and lives a hard life, then that's Huairu's fate. She made her own choice and can't blame anyone else."

"But if you bully my daughter, that's not okay!"

Qin Dashan also became angry. His daughter was willing to suffer. That was her own choice. We can't help you now.

There is a way to live good days and a way to live bad days. It's fate.

But deliberately bullying your own daughter is not okay, because there are people in her family! This is Qinjiatun!

Qin Dahe and Qin Huairu stopped Qin Dashan and tried to dissuade him. Even if Qin Dashan wanted to go and support Qin Huairu, now was not the right time.

Watching them quarreling, Xu Damao didn't say anything. He was wondering whether he should help or not. Qin Jingru went over and carefully picked up Xiaodang. Seeing the child's ugly complexion, she pulled the corner of Xu Damao's clothes aggrievedly.

"Xu Fangying, please help me--"

Only then did Xu Damao see Xiaodang's appearance——

Baby fat? Pink lips? Sparkling eyes?

Sorry, no—

All we can say is that she is still alive.

His face was pale and thin, his lips were a little black, and his eyes were lifeless. He didn't cry or make a fuss, as if he had lost hope in this world.

[I, RNM, really owe you, the Qin family... I just can't stand this! ]

"Stop arguing!"

“Save the children first!”
