Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Chapter 40: 1 Broken-back Old Wall Lamp

Sha Zhu thought that it was because he often let his sister go hungry that caused her to suffer from serious stomach problems. He also said some harsh words last night, causing his sister to have a fever and become seriously ill.

When Shazhu's mother was dying, she left a last word to Shazhu: "Shazhu, take good care of your sister."

The main thing is that Sha Zhu doesn't want to be criticized by people in the yard, saying that he can't even take care of his own sister.

Then, Sha Zhu said firmly: "Han, Brother Li, treat my sister using the method used in 10."

At this point, everyone realized that they might be asked to borrow money. Some smart people, like Yan Bugui, immediately said, "Oh, I'm going to be late for school."

Xu Wood also said, "There is a reception at the factory this morning, so I have to go check the projector in advance."

If you all leave, then Sha Zhu will definitely ask me alone for money. Yi Zhonghai got anxious and immediately called out names: "Old Yan, Old Xu, this is a matter of life and death, do you two want to watch people die without helping?"

Old Yan and Old Xu paused, looking embarrassed: "Aren't we in a hurry to get to work?"

Old Yan really wanted to slap himself twice. What was the point of watching such a commotion so early in the morning? He even had to pay to watch such a commotion. It was such a huge loss!

Since Sha Zhu has decided to take on the debt, Yi Zhonghai, as an outsider, can't persuade him any further. While everyone is still together, he should first collect the money for He Yushui's first year's recuperation.

Otherwise, now that Sha Zhu has made such a big promise, if he can't borrow money later, he will definitely come to him, his uncle.

Han Li fumbled in his pocket, apparently preparing to borrow money.

Everyone had different thoughts. Their biggest concern was that they would have to borrow the money for ten years.

As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty. It is difficult for Shazhu to repay the money he lent with his salary.

If it's only for one year, everyone will grit their teeth and borrow it.

"We are all neighbors who see each other every day in the same yard. Do you really want to watch poor Yu Shui suffer from stomach problems for the rest of his life?"

Yi Zhonghai said in a high-pitched voice: "Don't forget, Sha Zhu is a chef apprentice now, but that doesn't mean he will be a chef apprentice for life. Everyone has difficulties. As long as you get over this hurdle, your future life will definitely get better and better!"

These words already have a hint of intimidation. Sha Zhu works in the canteen of a steel mill. Many people present are from the steel mill. If you don't lend me money, I'll shake the spoon. Are you afraid?

Everyone was in a dilemma after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. The He siblings were helpless and alone, so it would be inappropriate not to help them.

Everyone could only comfort themselves that it was just borrowing money, not asking everyone to donate money. When Sha Zhu became a chef and his salary increased, he would be able to pay it back.

At this time, Han Li took off the wet towel and went out to change. When he walked to Yan Bugui and Xu Wude, he sighed quietly: "It would be great if Uncle He was here."

The speaker has a good intention, and the listener is interested. Yan Bugui, who had never wanted to borrow money, suddenly became excited:

"Shazhu, I think your father should pay for this. Your father is a chef after all, and 6 yuan ( yuan) a month is nothing to him. No matter how cruel he is, he can't just ignore his own daughter."

Xu Wude immediately agreed: "That's right. Silly Zhu, it will cost a lot of money to treat your sister's illness. You are almost an adult, and you will have to get married and have children in two years. Which girl will be willing to marry you if you owe such a large sum of money? This is also for the continuation of your He family. Your father should pay for it!"

After Yan Bugui and Xu Wude said this, the topic immediately changed direction, and the onlookers all said that the money should be paid by He Daqing.

Some people also advised Sha Zhu to ask He Daqing for 10 yuan (10 yuan) a month, so that they and his sister could have a better life.

At this point, Yi Zhonghai in the room was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He really wanted to use needle and thread to sew up all these people's mouths. What a stupid idea!

The worst thing is, if Sha Zhu really goes to Baocheng to find He Daqing, then the fact that he, a highly respected uncle, embezzled 5 yuan ( yuan) of He Yushui's monthly living expenses will be exposed.

But now, these bastards not only don't want to lend money, but they also keep urging Sha Zhu to go find He Daqing.

Yi Wanhua felt extremely uncomfortable as he was being roasted over the fire; but he couldn't openly stop Sha Zhu from going to find He Daqing. After thinking about it, he decided that exposing the scar was the most direct way.

He sighed helplessly: "Stop making trouble. Zhuzi took his sister to Baocheng to look for him, but he didn't even see Lao He!"

Untie Sha Zhu's scars and let him recall the painful experience of going to Baocheng last time. It would be best if he could completely hate He Daqing and never go to Baocheng for the rest of his life. Then no one would ever know about his misappropriation of money.

Yan Bugui was determined not to pay, so he came up with another bad idea: "Go directly to where Lao He works and make trouble. If he doesn't pay, put up big-character posters to make him infamous!"

Although the idea was bad, Sha Zhu was actually somewhat tempted. The most important thing was that this method might actually help him get the money for Yu Shui's medical treatment.

Although Sha Zhu hated his father He Daqing, he was very clear that his father He Daqing was an excellent cook and it was very easy for him to make money.

You know, many years ago, the father and son went out to set up a stall, and Sha Zhu accepted a counterfeit bill. If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely have to eat a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat to teach them a lesson, but He Daqing just complained: "You silly Zhu!"

Since then he got the nickname Shazhu.

This also proves from the side that the He family was indeed living a comfortable life at that time.

Sha Zhu thought that if He Daqing was willing to pay for his sister's medical treatment and living expenses, his life in the future would be much easier.

The last time they went to Baocheng, the brother and sister did not see their father He Daqing and were directly driven away by the White Widow and her men.

Seeing that Sha Zhu was obviously persuaded by everyone, Yi Zhonghai became anxious. If he didn't stop him, once Sha Zhu went to Baocheng, his reputation would be ruined.

"You are just asking Zhuzi to be criticized by others for what he has done! There are no parents who are not wrong in the world. If you ask Zhuzi to tarnish the reputation of his own father, how can he live his life in the future?"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice and became more and more angry as he spoke: "It's just 6 yuan a month. If you don't want to lend it to me, I can lend it to you!"

Since you have to borrow, take the opportunity to earn a good reputation for yourself.

Moreover, He Daqing would mail 5 (5 yuan) living expenses to He Yushui every month. Together with the money that He Daqing had left for Yi Zhonghai for emergencies, apart from some physical pain, there was no actual loss.

The most important thing is to maintain your good reputation.

Once his reputation gets ruined, he won't be able to stay in this yard.

As the saying goes, a person's true character is revealed in times of adversity. This really moved Sha Zhu, and he looked at the old man with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"A great man is righteous!"

"A great uncle!"

"Uncle is a good man!"

"You have to be a great uncle!"

Amidst everyone's praises, Yi Zhonghai went back to the house to get the money.

But after he turned his back to everyone, his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he felt very uncomfortable as if the breath was stuck in his chest.

Han Li saw Yi Zhonghai's slightly trembling shoulders and sneered in his heart: Hiss, this old wall lamp looks like a dog with a broken spine!
