Jia Zhang didn't expect that after spending a whole day and causing so many troubles, not only could she not borrow the money, but she was also fined by the supply and marketing cooperative.
She looked at Qin Huairu, with tears in her eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Huairu, we are really desperate now. I have been begging the doctor on duty in the hospital for a long time, but they can't keep letting us owe the money.
We always have to pay this money."
Qin Huairu also had a sad look on her face. She said helplessly: "Mom, what should we do? Where can we get money right now?"
Jia Zhang was silent for a while, as if she had made a lot of determination, and said: "When Li Donglai comes back, you can go to him to borrow money. He is the most capable person in the compound now, and maybe he can help us."
When Qin Huairu heard this, she shook her head: "Mom, this can't work. Li Donglai is a difficult person to deal with, and we don't have any friendship with him. How could he lend us money?"
Jia Zhang slammed the table and raised her voice: "Then what do you think we should do? Banggeng is still lying in the hospital! If he doesn't pay the money, the hospital won't treat him, and Banggeng will be disabled. Do you want to watch?
Is his life so ruined?"
Qin Huairu was so frightened by Jia Zhang's words that she couldn't stop crying. She knew that Jia Zhang was right. For the sake of good humor, she could only bite the bullet and agreed: "Mom, I understand, wait until Li Dong comes.
Come back, I'll go find him and try."
After saying that, Qin Huairu sat there, feeling helpless.
At this time, Li Donglai also returned to the capital from the south. This time he went to the south to develop minicomputers.
Although the production of minicomputers has begun, it has not been put into mass production. Now that Engineers Chen and Zhang have joined and the production process has been redesigned, it may not be long before minicomputers can be put into mass production.
Li Donglai dragged his exhausted body into the courtyard. This business trip of more than a week had made him physically and mentally exhausted. Even if he had a will of steel, he could not withstand such a torment. Every inch of his muscles seemed to be protesting. He could only
Desire to have a good rest.
As soon as she entered the yard, Ding Qiunan came up to her. Seeing the tiredness on Li Donglai's face, she felt heartbroken. Without saying a word, she quickly turned around to bring Li Donglai tea and water. Her movements were very quick, and she quickly poured a cup of water.
The steaming tea was handed to Li Donglai,
His eyes were full of concern: "Donglai, you are back. You must be exhausted from this trip. Drink some tea to relieve your fatigue." Li Donglai took the tea cup and took a sip gently, and the warm tea flowed along.
The words flowed down his throat, as if some of the fatigue in his body had been dispelled.
Ding Qiunan frowned slightly, looked at Li Donglai with worry, and said slowly: "Donglai, a lot of things happened in the courtyard during your absence these days. The kid Bangge was bitten by a dog, and he is still there.
He's lying in the hospital. This thing is really disturbing. It was already bad enough, but in the end, in order to help Jia's family, Silly Zhu even held a fund-raising meeting."
When Li Donglai heard this, he knew that Yi Zhonghai was causing trouble.
"This silly Zhu is really serious. I've reminded him so many times, but he doesn't listen."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Yu Juhua opened the door and pulled Silly Zhu in. Silly Zhu looked ashamed and lowered his head and did not dare to look at Li Donglai. Yu Juhua spoke first and said: "Donglai, Silly
Zhu knows he was wrong, he was deceived by Yi Zhonghai this time, and he came here specifically to review it with you."
Silly Zhu then raised his head, his eyes full of remorse: "Dong Lai, it was me who was confused. I originally wanted to help the Jia family, but I didn't expect to be tricked by Yi Zhonghai again. I'm really... Oh, I'm sorry for the courtyard.
Everyone, I'm sorry for your trust in me." As he said that, he lowered his head again, like a child who had done something wrong.
Li Donglai looked at Si Zhu, his tone was serious but with a hint of concern: "Si Zhu, you, what I said to you before, you turned a deaf ear, right? You have to learn a lesson from this incident, and you can't do it again.
So stupid."
Silly Zhu stood there, his face reddened by Li Donglai's scolding, his head lowered even lower, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He stuttered and said: "Donglai, I... I really know that I was wrong.
This time I have finally seen Yi Zhonghai’s true face. If I trust him again in the future, I will... my surname is not He!"
Ding Qiunan sighed softly at the side, walked over and patted Silly Zhu on the shoulder: "Silly Zhu, don't blame yourself too much. Yi Zhonghai has always been cunning and cunning. When he plots people, it's a series of tricks.
Yihuan. Many people in the courtyard have been deceived by him, not just you. You are just too kind-hearted and always want to help others, so he took advantage of you."
Li Donglai nodded: "Ding Qiunan is right, Yi Zhonghai hides too deeply. But Silly Zhu, you have to keep a long memory. Think more before doing things in the future, and don't rush forward just with a rush of blood.
This time it’s a matter of fundraising, if there’s a bigger mess next time, it won’t be easy to clean up.”
Silly Zhu nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Donglai, I will definitely remember the lesson this time. I will follow you from now on and never listen to that old guy Yi Zhonghai again."
Yu Juhua looked at Li Donglai with enthusiasm and said with a smile: "Donglai, you have just come back. Come to my and Silly Zhu's place for a meal tonight. We haven't gotten together for a long time."
Li Donglai smiled and shook his head. He looked at Ding Qiunan, his eyes full of tenderness: "Juhua, thank you for your kindness. I have been on a business trip for so long and haven't seen Qiunan. I just want to spend some time with her today. Let's
Let’s meet again next time.”
Yu Juhua didn't force it, she smiled and said: "Okay, I can understand. Then you two have a good chat, and there will be many opportunities in the future."
Silly Zhu also nodded at the side: "Yes, Donglai, then you should stay with Ding Qiunan, and we will chat later." After that, he and Yu Juhua left Li Donglai's house, leaving Li Donglai and Ding Qiunan behind.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became warm and sweet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Silly, we are an old married couple, don't be shy." Ding Qiunan's face turned red at Li Donglai's strange gaze.
Li Donglai smiled and pulled Ding Qiunan to his side and hugged her gently: "I haven't seen you for so long, I just want to take a good look at you. Only after I went on a business trip did I realize how much I miss you. I feel like I'm away from you.
Nothing works."
Ding Qiunan nestled in Li Donglai's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat
Just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door outside.
Ding Qiunan left Li Donglai's arms with some reluctance. She snorted softly: "Really, who is this? If you don't come early, you won't come later." Then she walked to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Huairu was seen standing at the door with tears on her face. When she saw Ding Qiunan, she knelt down as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Sister Qiunan, please save Banggeng." Qin Huairu said sobbing.
Ding Qiunan was startled by this sudden scene. She quickly reached out to help Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, what are you doing? Get up quickly and speak slowly if you have anything to say."
Li Donglai also came over. Seeing Qin Huairu's appearance, he frowned slightly, probably guessing her purpose of coming.
"Sister Qiunan, you don't know that the kid Bangge was bitten by a dog and is now lying in the hospital. The hospital is urging you to pay the medical bills every day, and we really have no choice. I know you are all kind-hearted people.
You and Donglai, please help us, lend us some money, and let us pay the medical expenses."
Ding Qiunan looked at Qin Huairu, a complicated look flashed in her eyes. She knew very well what Qin Huairu was like. In the yard these years, Qin Huairu was like a vampire, always taking advantage of the kindness of others to achieve his own goals. Moreover,
The Jia family's affairs are complicated. Who knows when she will be able to repay the money this time, and it might cause more trouble.
So, Ding Qiunan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Sister Qin, it's not that I don't want to help you, our family doesn't have much money left. You also know that Donglai often travels on business and the family expenses are also high. You should think about it again.
Find another way."
Li Donglai didn't speak at the side, just watched quietly. He knew that Ding Qiunan's decision was right. He couldn't be soft-hearted at this time, otherwise he might fall into endless trouble.
When Qin Huairu heard this, she cried even harder: "Sister Qiunan, how can you be so cruel? Banggeng is just a child. If he has troubles because he has no money for medical treatment, how can I live?" But
Ding Qiunan remained unmoved, standing at the door with no intention of changing his mind.
Seeing that she could not borrow money from Ding Qiunan, Qin Huairu turned her attention to Li Donglai. She wiped her tears and cried to Li Donglai: "Donglai, we are all from Qinjiazhuang, we are real fellow villagers.
! Now that you have the ability, you can’t just watch Banggeng without money for medical treatment. If you don’t care this time, and this matter is reported back to Qinjiazhuang, everyone will call you a white-eyed wolf and ungrateful! "
Li Donglai was stunned for a moment after hearing Qin Huairu's words, and then laughed angrily. He looked at Qin Huairu, his eyes full of helplessness and disdain: "Qin Huairu, you are really good! Let's take Qinjiazhuang as an example. You
How has it been in this yard all these years?
You know what you are doing. When have you ever truly thought about others? Every time you use everyone's kindness to satisfy your own selfish desires. I am thinking of my fellow villagers, but I can't let you be so morally kidnapped.
I."
Qin Huairu was speechless for a moment by Li Donglai's words, but she still didn't give up: "Donglai, I know I did something wrong before, but this time the stick is really in danger. You just think he is a child
For your sake, please help us."
Li Donglai sneered: "Huh, kid? Look at how you educate your children? Can't you see what Bangge has done in the yard these years? This time he was bitten by a dog, what if he is bitten by a dog in the future?
If he makes a bigger mistake, does he have to have others pay for it?"
Qin Huairu wanted to open his mouth to beg again, but Li Donglai's face darkened and he said in a stern tone: "Qin Huairu, don't say any more. I've made it very clear that I will not lend you money. And don't take advantage of the Qin family again."
Zhuang Lai is suppressing me. Everyone has seen what you have done over the years. I have my own principles and will not be kidnapped by your morality." After saying that, Li Donglai stepped forward and gestured to close the door.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu knew that it would be futile to continue to pester her, so she had to stand up angrily, with resentment towards Li Donglai and helplessness for the current situation in her eyes. As she walked back, she muttered: "Li Donglai, you
So cruel
Li Donglai looked at Qin Huairu's leaving figure, shook his head helplessly, and then closed the door.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was waiting anxiously at home. When she saw Qin Huairu coming back dejected, she knew that she had not borrowed the money without asking. She suddenly became furious, rushed to the yard angrily, and started to curse at the top of her voice:
"Li Donglai, who do you think you are! Now that you are a grown man, you don't care about the life and death of residents like us in the compound? Bangge is still lying in the hospital, that's a child! You have the ability to help, but you refuse to save him.
, are you still human?
Her voice echoed in the yard, attracting many neighbors to peek in and watch.
But the neighbors all know Jia Zhang's temperament, and no one stands on Jia Zhang's side.
After Jia Zhang scolded her, she actually knew in her heart that Li Donglai was not someone to be trifled with, so she just vented her anger in the yard and did not really have the courage to go to Li Donglai to argue. She thought about it and decided to go to those so-called
Old friends try their luck.
She went from house to house, smiling and saying good things, but those old friends either excused themselves and said that they were short of money, or just stayed behind closed doors. Jia Zhang ran around all day, but couldn't borrow a penny.
, the whole person was almost in despair.
On the way to the courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was in despair and full of helplessness. At this time, a lesbian in her thirties walked quickly from behind and blocked Mrs. Jia Zhang's way. The lesbian was dressed simply and decently, with a beautiful face.
Kindly, she smiled and asked Jia Zhang: "Auntie, are you a resident of that courtyard house?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at her with some confusion and replied angrily: "Yeah, who are you? What's the matter?" She was in no mood to chat with strangers now, her mind was full of ridiculous medical expenses and those things.
Money that cannot be borrowed.
At this time, the lesbian said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Lihua, and I am the deputy director of a large state-owned factory in the south."
Jia Zhang's originally gloomy face was instantly filled with a flattering smile, her eyes flashing with greed. She quickly stepped forward, her voice became a little sweet: "Oh, Director Zhang
Ah! Your status is not ordinary! You came all the way to the capital, do you have something important to do?"
Zhang Lihua smiled politely: "Aunt, there's nothing special. I just came here to do some business and learn about the local customs."
Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly said: "Then you have found the right person. I have lived in this courtyard for many years. There is nothing that I don't know about here."
There was a trace of expectation in Zhang Lihua's eyes. She looked at Jia Zhang and asked, "Auntie, do you know Director Li Donglai of the steel rolling mill laboratory?"
When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, her heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reacted. She rolled her eyes, her face immediately filled with a smile, and said hurriedly: "We know each other, we are already familiar with each other! Dong Lai Na
My child, you have a good relationship with me."
Damn Li Donglai, why does he know all the big shots?
