Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Hu Meihua had a stern face and pulled Chen Zhaodi back to the courtyard.

One morning, Zhaodi begged Dr. Zhou for a long time, but he refused to change his statement and refused to testify no matter what. He said that Zhaodi woke up this morning after the old Chinese doctor gave her acupuncture.

She originally thought about letting Zhaodi stay in the hospital for a few more days to make sure that she was injured.

Unexpectedly, you can’t stay in the hospital whenever you want. The examination results show that there is no disease or calamity, but the hospital refuses to let you stay.

This would put her family in trouble.

If you are really healthy, who would be willing to spend two hundred dollars for nothing?

The key point is that the two hundred yuan might have been spent now, and it is impossible to return the money to Mr. Yan now.

Although the family is not short of this money, it is unlikely that the family has this amount of money.

But why should I return the money I earned with my own ability?

Hu Meihua thought about it and regretted not talking to Zhaodi first in the morning, but went to arrange for discharge from the hospital first.

Now that the formalities have been completed, there is no point in regretting.

Besides, isn’t it just that the person has woken up? But does waking up mean that there is no problem?

I remember someone once said that if a person's brain is damaged, it may not be visible on the outside, but the person's movements will be affected, such as walking crookedly and having uncontrollable limbs.

With this thing, she can beat Zhaodi out right now without causing any damage to her brain!

Unable to think of any other solution, she could only drag Zhaodi into the alley, and when no one was around, she beat her severely. She beat her until Zhaodi walked crookedly and her hands and feet were shaking wildly, and then she dragged Zhaodi back home.

Chen Zhaodi was so angry that she thought she could watch Hu Meihua make a fool of herself, but in the end she became the joke first. She would remember this beating!

However, what exactly is the origin of Hu Meihua? She even knows that brain damage can lead to limb disorders?

I hope she is really not the biological daughter of this couple. These days, background can really be a deterrent.

When they returned to the courtyard, the front yard was empty except for the door of the west wing. Yan Bugui was sitting with his head down. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw the mother and son. His eyes widened immediately and he pointed at Chen Zhaodi with trembling fingers. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

After a long while, he finally screamed, "Hu Meihua, your family is blackmailing us!"

As soon as this tearing voice came out, the three aunts inside the door ran out, and when they saw the mother and daughter standing there fine, they immediately started crying at the top of their lungs.

"They are so heartless. The younger one pretends to be sick to deceive people, and the older one takes advantage of his power to blackmail people!"

Hu Meihua refused to admit it and pulled Chen Zhaodi over: "You are the one who has lost your conscience. Look at what you have done to my daughter!"

Chen Zhaodi, who was pulled over, cooperated very well, shaking her hands and feet, her body limp, just like a rag doll, without any energy at all.

There were women in the front yard who had not gone to the backyard to watch the fun. When they heard the shouting and cursing in the yard, they all came out to watch.

"Oh, Zhaodi is now well and has been discharged from the hospital."

"Didn't they say that Zhaodi was beaten to death?"

"Hey, look at Zhaodi, is she okay?"

"But he's awake now, isn't he? Can't we just take care of him a little longer? How can he be worth two hundred?"

"That's true. The Chen family is too greedy."

"A tricycle, would you like one?"

Speaking of tricycles, everyone felt that the Chen family was indeed too greedy. How could you extort a tricycle? In the future, you should use it for winter storage and coal transportation.

The third aunt's chest heaved violently. She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Hu Meihua and her daughter with a trembling hand: "Your family is too wicked! You did it on purpose. First you let Zhaodi come to our house to make trouble, and then Chen Datou came to extort money. You really are a family without conscience!"

Yan Bugui's face was livid, and he directed his eldest son, "Jie Cheng, go to the backyard and call the first and second uncles. We need to explain today's incident clearly."

Hu Meihua also tensed her face, and fought against the third aunt without losing: "Your family is the one who has lost conscience. You are so old, but you still snatch the wild vegetables from my girl. If you can't reason with her, just beat my girl."

As he spoke, he picked up Chen Zhaodi and said, "Everyone, look at what happened to our little girl! The doctor said that she won't be able to use her hands and feet anymore."

When everyone took a closer look, they found that there seemed to be something wrong with Chen Zhaodi. She was standing there a little crookedly, which was a bit abnormal.

But, didn't the doctor say that there were no injuries on the body? How did his hands and feet become like this? Everyone looked at Hu Meihua suspiciously. Could it be that this woman saw that the child was fine and was afraid of being exposed, so she beat him on purpose?

The third auntie obviously thought so too: "I did it myself, how could I not know where I hit her? I clearly just patted her back twice, how did her hands and feet become injured? Your family wants to blackmail us, why don't you pretend to be decent? Beating the child makes it our family's problem?"

"The doctor checked it yesterday and there's nothing wrong with it!"

At this moment, the two old men who received the notice in the backyard also came to the front yard with a group of people.

Yan Bugui's eyes turned red when he saw Chen Datou following him out. He grabbed the two old men and asked them to make a judgment: "Yesterday, Chen Datou insisted that Zhaodi had been beaten into a vegetable by my family. He said that the girl would be paralyzed in bed and unable to get up. His family would have to support such a burden in the future. Therefore, he forced us to pay 200 yuan for nutrition and nursing fees, and threatened us that he would sue us for murder if we didn't agree."

"But now look at this girl. Is she a living dead? Is she paralyzed in bed and unable to get up? Tell me, is this family extorting money?"

"Besides, our Ruihua only patted Zhaodi on the back a few times yesterday. You from the Jin family all saw it with your own eyes. It was just a few light pats, but why did Chen Zhaodi suddenly faint? Even the doctor couldn't find out the reason, and yet she suddenly recovered today."

"Tell me for yourself, is there anything wrong with this? They are blackmailing me!"

After all this was said, it would be impossible to say that everyone was not complaining in their hearts. Two hundred yuan, Chen Datou really dared to ask for it.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and asked Chen Datou first: "Datou, do you admit what your uncle just said?"

Just as Chen Datou was about to speak, Hu Meihua spoke first: "Uncle, what you said is strange. What does our Datou want to recognize?"

She pulled Chen Zhaodi again: "Look at this girl, yes, this girl is awake now, but look at her, does she look okay?"

Chen Zhaodi cooperated by raising her head, revealing a sallow smiling face. Her hair drooped like dead grass, making her look lifeless. Her thin body trembled from time to time, as if she was going to fall down and never get up again.

Yi Zhonghai was unhappy. He knew everything that happened in the hospital yesterday and the doctor's diagnosis. So, he was sure that Hu Meihua was the one who caused Chen Zhaodi's behavior today.

But Hu Meihua was a smart woman, so she still had to ask Chen Datou: "Datou, just tell me, is the letter of pledge you signed with your Third Uncle yesterday the same as what your Third Uncle said?"

Hu Meihua sneered: "Everyone knows how hardworking and capable my Zhaodi is. With her around, I don't need to worry about the family, and I can devote myself to work and building the country."

"But now, she is in this state. Not to mention managing the household affairs, even taking care of herself is a problem. Shouldn't we ask the Third Uncle for compensation?"

"Also, Jin Dani, Uncle San said you were there yesterday. Can you guarantee that Yang Ruihua really only hit Zhaodi on the back a few times? The doctor said that brain damage can lead to loss of control of the limbs."

Aunt Jin was named by Yan Bugui and Hu Meihua one after another. She had a wooden face and refused to testify: "I was standing behind Yang Ruihua, Zhaodi was blocked by her, how could I see where she hit me?"

There were many people watching the excitement in the front yard at the time, and some of them saw it. However, they were very jealous that Chen Datou could extort 200 yuan, but they also hated the fact that Yan Bugui and his wife behaved like unkind people, so they kept silent and refused to testify.
