Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

The child was still recovering from his illness. Jia Zhang pursed her lips but ultimately did not say anything unpleasant. She just leaned against the door blankly, staring into the house, not knowing what she was thinking.

Inside the room, Xu Changping reached out and gently touched the child's head. After making sure that the little one's fever had subsided, he stretched out three fingers and placed them on her slender wrist.

After a long while, Xu Changping finally loosened his fingers and said calmly, "It's just a common high fever caused by a cold. Be careful when you go to bed at night. If she gets a fever again, give her a pill."

Qin Huairu leaned over and held the child, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Director Xu."

Xu Changping nodded, indicating that he accepted her thanks, and reminded her, "It's okay. The weather is cold now. Just be more careful."

"Then I'll take her home first." After saying that, Qin Huairu turned her head and glanced at Jia Zhang who was still leaning against the door. A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, and she asked in a low voice: "The money for the medicine..."

Xu Changping thought for a moment and said, "Give me fifty cents, it's not much medicine." It can't be free. If this sets a precedent, his home will have to become a free public clinic in the future.

Hearing about fifty cents, Qin Huairu felt his pocket in embarrassment and said awkwardly, "Well... I was in a hurry to go out today and didn't bring enough money. How about I send it to the infirmary for you when I go to work tomorrow, okay?"

"Give me money? What money do you want? We are all from the same courtyard. Your child is sick and you come here to ask for money for medicine? How can you be so cruel?" Hearing the sound of money, Jia Zhang at the door suddenly came to her senses and shouted immediately.

Anyway, no matter what, it is impossible to give money. Money is not as important as life.

"Mom!" Qin Huairu was startled by Jia Zhang's sudden voice, and immediately turned around and shouted anxiously.

This mother-in-law is really tactless. It's inevitable that people will get sick if they eat all kinds of grains. We all live in the same courtyard, but now she refuses to pay even 50 cents. What if she has to ask for help from others someday?

"What mother? Even grandma is useless. I have never seen anyone with such a vicious heart. I want money for taking a few pills from you." Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu viciously and scolded her angrily.

As for the secret method of throwing a tantrum and summoning Lao Jia, she no longer dared to use it in front of Xu Changping. After all, not only did it not work before, she was almost sent for transformation by Xu Changping.

"Oh, please stop talking." Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Qin Huairu didn't care about the child anymore and rushed to the door, wishing she could stretch out another hand to cover Jia Zhang's mouth.

"Why shouldn't I tell you? You little slut, you want to see a doctor so badly that you want to send yourself here, and you're still afraid of what I say." Jia Zhang yelled loudly while trying to shake off Qin Huairu's hand that was holding her.

"That's enough. Can you please shut up? We have four children in our family, including Dongxu. You don't want to be unable to find a doctor when you are sick, do you?" Qin Huairu not only did not let her force push him away, but instead moved closer and growled.

"I..." After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang was like a chicken with its neck strangled. The words that were about to come to her lips were choked back instantly.

Then, as if she had come to her senses, she muttered angrily, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't say anything. You're just a doctor, why are you so proud?"

After saying that, she didn't wait for Qin Huairu, but just flicked her sleeves and walked out of the East Courtyard.

Seeing Jia Zhang leave, Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went back to Xu Changping's house, and said with embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, my mother-in-law is just like that, Doctor Xu, please don't be offended."

"It's okay." Xu Changping waved his hand. He had no intention of arguing with Jia Zhang. He usually ignored this old woman.

"Then I'll take the child away first, and I'll send the medical expenses to you tomorrow." Qin Huairu still didn't give up on sending the medical expenses to the infirmary.

Xu Changping shook his head and said, "No need. Just come and give it to Xiaoyue whenever it's convenient for you."

Although Qin Huairu looks quite normal now, Xu Changping still doesn't plan to have too much contact with her.

Turning her head to look at Yang Xiaoyue, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart. She suppressed her emotions and said, "Hey! That's fine."

After seeing Qin Huairu off, Xu Changping rubbed his forehead and leaned back on the sofa.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaoyue stood up with a faint smile on her lips, walked behind Xu Changping, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently kneaded the temples on both sides of Xu Changping with her fingertips.

At the same time, he was still mumbling and complaining, "Oh, this Jia Zhang is so annoying!"

Xu Changping turned his head slightly, revealing a meaningful smile on his face, and replied softly: "Don't be fooled by her appearance. This old woman is very smart."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyue stopped what she was doing, blinked her big watery eyes, and asked curiously:

"How could that be? I only see her throwing tantrums and playing tricks all day long. I really don't see how she's smart!"

Xu Changping smiled slightly and explained slowly:

"Just think about it, she cried and screamed in the yard all day long, pretending to be pitiful, saying how poor she was, and she had the old man Yi Zhonghai under her thumb, wishing that everyone in the yard could support her family.

But in fact, if you look closely at her figure, it could have been slaughtered as a pig, she doesn't look like someone who has been hungry at all!"

Having said this, Xu Changping paused for a moment before continuing:

"And her children, especially that Bang Geng. Although his clothes do have a few patches on them, have you ever seen him wearing clothes that don't fit him?"

"Ah! So their family is not poor! Then why is Jia Zhangshi still like this?" Yang Xiaoyue thought about what Xu Changping said and it was indeed the case.

After Xu Changping's reminder, Yang Xiaoyue began to recall her daily observations of the Jia family, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case.

Although the clothes on Bang Geng were patched, they were all new clothes. He was not like most families who used old clothes to alter for their children.

Hearing Xu Changping's analysis, Yang Xiaoyue frowned slightly: "Ah! So that's how it is. So, their family is not poor at all! Then why did Jia Zhang do this?"

Xu Changping sneered and said, "Greed and the desire to control Yi Zhonghai and make him lose his defense against their family."

Jia Zhang is simply picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. Banggeng, the child, has been influenced by her since he was a child, and has long been led astray and ruined by her.

In the original plot, if He Yuzhu had not come to the rescue of the He family and bought the entire yard and gave it to Banggeng, Banggeng would have rotted away somewhere long ago and would not have achieved his later success.

"Ah! Then we should stay away from the Jia family from now on." After saying that, he solemnly warned Xiao Mi: "Xiao Mi, you are not allowed to play with the children of the Jia family from now on, okay?"

Xiao Mi raised her little face and responded nonchalantly: "I don't play with them anyway! I always play with Cui Miaomiao." When she mentioned the Jia family, there was an expression of contempt on her face.

"That's good, otherwise you might be sold without knowing it one day." Yang Xiaoyue glared at Xiao Mi and looked at her with a warning look.

"Okay, stop talking about Xiao Mi. Bang Geng is so much older than her. The two of them can never play together." Xu Changping quickly spoke up to smooth things over.
