Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Seeing Jia Zhang still standing in front of her house in a daze, the neighbors couldn't help but remind her, "Jia Zhang, what are you still doing?! Why don't you go to the hospital quickly?!"

"Mom!" Just then Qin Huairu came in with Xiaodang. The neighbors saw Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, someone from the steel mill just came to inform us that your Dongxu is in the hospital! Go and see him!"

"What?!" Qin Huairu was stunned, and the bag in her hand fell to the ground. But Qin Huairu quickly came to her senses and said, "Second Aunt, please help me look after the child. I'll go to the hospital right away."

"Leave the child to me, don't worry! Go quickly!" The second aunt took Xiaodang and urged Qin Huairu to go to the hospital quickly. Jia Zhang also came to her senses at this time and followed Qin Huairu to the hospital.

The hospital for the steel mill is not far from Nanluoguxiang. But whether Jia Zhang had a change of heart or for some other reason, she saw a tricycle passing by when she arrived at the entrance of the alley. Jia Zhang stopped the tricycle, told the address, and then pulled Qin Huairu onto the tricycle.

About ten minutes later, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang arrived at the hospital entrance. Jia Zhang paid three cents for the fare and followed Qin Huairu into the hospital. Soon Qin Huairu saw Liu Haizhong and hurriedly walked up to him and asked, "Second Uncle, how is my Dongxu?!"

"Huai Ru!" Liu Haizhong called out. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jia Zhang following behind him and said, "Old sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. Your Dongxu is gone."

"What?!" Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were dumbfounded. On the way here, they thought of all kinds of possibilities, but they didn't expect this result. Jia Zhang was still for a few seconds, and then burst into tears: "Dongxu! My son! Why did you leave?! Leaving us an orphan and a widow, what should we do! Dongxu!"

Qin Huairu also started crying.

Liu Haizhong said: "Sister-in-law, you and Huairu should stop crying here. I will take you to see Dongxu for the last time!"

Jia Zhang wiped her tears and looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu asked, "Second Uncle, why are you the only one in the hospital?!"

Liu Haizhong understood what Qin Huairu meant and said, "The leaders are all in Dongxu! Come with me!" After that, Liu Haizhong took Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang to the emergency room.

When they arrived at the door of the emergency room, Liu Haizhong said, "Director Li, Secretary Cai, these two are Jia Dongxu's mother and wife."

The moment Li Huaide saw Qin Huairu, his eyes lit up. However, Li Huaide was well-mannered and did not immediately show interest in Qin Huairu. He said, "You go in and see Comrade Jia Dongxu first. Then come with us to the factory to discuss the rest of the matter."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi also looked at Qin Huairu. Finally, Jia Zhangshi made the decision and said, "Okay! Let's go in and see Dongxu first."

Secretary Cai and Liu Haizhong took Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu into the emergency room. At this time, there was only a flatbed covered with white cloth in the emergency room. Liu Haizhong walked to the side of the flatbed, lifted the white cloth covering it, and exposed Jia Dongxu's head.

When Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu saw Jia Dongxu's appearance, they were both dumbfounded. Half of Jia Dongxu's face was normal, and the other half was black. As for his body, only half was left. The other half and both legs were all melted by the molten iron. To put it bluntly, if the workers nearby hadn't reacted quickly, maybe not even these would be left.

Jia Zhang had already collapsed on the ground, Qin Huairu covered her stomach and asked, "Second Master, what's going on?!"

Liu Haizhong replied, "Today, the foundry was casting iron parts. Unexpectedly, the chain for hanging the iron bucket broke. Dongxu was just poured by the molten iron. Although he was sent to the hospital in time, it was still a step too late."

Officer Cai said, "Madam, Dongxu died of a work-related injury. The factory will not shirk its responsibility. Don't worry! The factory will definitely give you some compensation."

Hearing about the compensation, Jia Zhang's gloomy eyes finally had a glimmer of light. Jia Zhang couldn't wait to ask: "How much?!"

Secretary Cai replied: "I don't know about that. You have to ask the factory leaders to find out."

Liu Haizhong glared at Secretary Cai and said, "Sister-in-law, how much compensation can you get? The bulk of it is the job that Dongxu left behind. Your family can send someone to take over Dongxu's job."

Jia Zhang said, "It is said that the son inherits the father's business. My Dongxu's job can only be given to my Banggeng. Can my Banggeng come back and take over his father's job now?!"

Secretary Cai knew the situation of the Jia family and was worried that Jia Zhang would bring up the issue in front of the leader and embarrass him. Secretary Cai asked, "Auntie, it is only natural for a son to inherit his father's business. I want to ask how old your grandson is now?!"

Without thinking, Jia Zhang blurted out, "My son Bang Geng was born in 1952 and is now ten years old."

Secretary Cai said, "Auntie, you have to be at least sixteen to take over the job. Ten is too young. Even if your family agrees, we dare not hire him because it is against the law. There is no rush for work. You can discuss it slowly when you go back. It doesn't matter whether you come to work or your wife comes." Then he asked, "Are you still watching?!"

Jia Zhang bravely looked at the flatbed truck, and then looked at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu seemed to feel Jia Zhang looking at her, and she came back to her senses, sighed softly, and said, "Mom! Dongxu is gone. You are the head of the family. You make the decision!"

"You are sensible!" Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows and gave Qin Huairu a good look, saying, "Don't watch it! He won't come back to life if you watch it."

Secretary Cai said: "Then let's go out!"

After leaving the emergency room, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu followed Secretary Cai and Liu Haizhong to the jeep parked at the hospital entrance. Not long after, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were taken to the steel mill. When they entered the reception room, Li Huaide was already waiting inside. When Li Huaide saw someone coming, he first expressed his condolences to Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, and said straight to the point: "Comrade Jia Dongxu is gone. The dead cannot be resurrected. You still have to continue living. If you have any requests, just let us know. As long as we can do it, we will definitely meet them."

Jia Zhang was a bully at home. When she was asked to make conditions, she was at a loss again. Jia Zhang quietly pulled Qin Huairu's clothes. Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and whispered, "Mom! What's wrong?!"

Jia Zhang said: "Ask them if they can get Banggeng back?!"

Qin Huairu hesitated for a moment and said, "Leader, my son Banggeng is serving his sentence outside. Can you bring him back?!"

Li Huaide laughed and said, "We are a factory and cannot control that side. You should just put forward some practical requirements!"

Jia Zhang asked: "How much money can the factory compensate us?!"

Li Huaide replied, "According to regulations, after Jia Dongxu died of a work-related injury, his job will be taken over by someone in his immediate family who is able to work. In addition, the people he needs to support, that is, his mother and children, can receive 50% of Jia Dongxu's salary, which is 20.5 yuan, according to your family's situation. Secondly, according to your family's situation, the factory will compensate you 200 yuan in one lump sum. As for Jia Dongxu's funeral, it will be borne by the factory."
