The Barefoot Doctor in the Siheyuan Chapter 374 Qin Huairu borrows money
After Qin Huairu finished washing the pot, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening. Just as he was about to lie down and take a rest, Jia Zhang held him back.
"Qin Huairu, I don't care if you are messing around with Yi Zhonghai or not. There is an urgent matter now. Dongxu must be sent back to Jiajiazhuang for burial immediately. The family has no money now. You must quickly find a way to get some money back.
"
"Where can I get the money? Last month's salary has been spent, and this month is only the first day. In the past, when Yi Zhonghai was the first uncle, we could have helpers raise funds in the compound."
Qin Huairu sat down on the chair and gasped for air. She knew that Jia Zhang's words would be up to no good.
Jia Zhang said coldly: "Then I don't care, tomorrow is the fifth day, and the village chief of Jiajia Village has said that if Dongxu's coffin is not sent back to Jiajiazhuang within seven days, there will be no peace in the village.
Let Dongxu enter the ancestral grave. You also know how much it costs to bury a person in the capital."
Qin Huairu pinched her brows in frustration and began to figure out who she could get the money from.
Yi Zhonghai was raped by her a while ago, and the relationship between the two is relatively sensitive now. If Yi Zhonghai really takes out the money, Jia Zhang will definitely become suspicious again.
Then only Silly Pillar is left.
Although Shazhu was strictly controlled by Yu Juhua, he and Jia Dongxu had been friends since childhood. Before Qin Huairu married to the courtyard, the relationship between the two was not bad. They should help.
Besides, now that Silly Zhu is married to Yu Juhua, Mrs. Jia Zhang will not have any other thoughts.
After making up her mind, Qin Huairu came to the door of Shazhu's house and knocked on the door twice: "He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu, open the door. I have something to ask you."
Inside the house, Yu Juhua was about to give birth, her belly was round, and her calves and feet were a little swollen.
Silly Zhu was washing Yu Juhua's feet, rubbing Yu Juhua's feet, and asked softly: "Chrysanthemum, is the water hot? How about I add some more heat?"
Yu Juhua looked at the busy Silly Zhu, a trace of happiness flashed in her eyes: "It's just right, please rub it gently, don't tire yourself out."
"Hey, don't be tired. I am the Martial God of the Siheyuan. How can I be tired with such a small job?"
Silly Zhu giggled twice and began to help Yu Hua rub her feet seriously.
When he first got married, Silly Zhu felt a little aggrieved because he married a girl named Zhang Fei who liked to hit people without saying a word and also liked to drink. Moreover, her waist was thicker than his.
Silly Zhu is also a man with pursuits, otherwise he wouldn't have been single for so many years.
Later, after getting married, Shazhu felt that the chrysanthemums smelled really good.
Yu Juhua beat him for his own good and not to let him borrow money randomly. In less than two months, Si Zhu had saved money again.
You know, the last time I had any savings was seven or eight years ago, when Sha Zhu just started working and Qin Huairu hadn't come to the courtyard yet.
Now that Yu Juhua is pregnant with his child again, the old He family has a successor.
The more Silly Zhu rubbed, the more vigorous he became. The water in the footbath made a splash. Yu Juhua gave him a cute look: "De Xing, those are feet, not washboards."
"Ah ah ah" Silly Zhu laughed twice and quickly relaxed his efforts.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Silly Zhu picked up the towel and wiped his hands, and said to Yu Juhua: "You soak first, I'll go out and see who is coming."
When he walked to the door and opened it, Shazhu saw Qin Huairu with a miserable face.
Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, peeked into the room, and then closed the door: "Comrade Qin Huairu, it's so late now. I have to wait for my wife to sleep, and I don't have time to greet you. You should go home quickly."
Qin Huairu looked at the "Fifth Good Husband" Silly Zhu, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Back then, Silly Zhu had been following her around all day long, but now she has turned into a housewife.
It's really incredible.
However, Qin Huairu reacted quickly, looked at Shazhu and said: "Yuzhu, please wait, I come to you today, it is an important matter."
Seeing Qin Huairu's serious face, Shazhu's hand on closing the door slowed down a little: "Then hurry up and say it."
Qin Huairu said: "Your brother Dongxu wants to be sent to the countryside for burial. My family has no money, so I want to ask you to borrow some money."
Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Shazhu felt funny in his heart. Sure enough, Qin Huairu has not changed after so many years. She only thinks of me when she borrows money.
In the past, Shazhu had already rejected Qin Huairu and closed the door.
but.
Jia Dongxu is dead now.
Regardless of whether Jia Dongxu is a good person or a bad person, after all, I grew up playing with him. It is not an exaggeration to say that I grew up with him.
Nowadays, we are short of money for burial, so Si Zhu can do nothing, but Si Zhu cannot do it.
He peeked into the inner room, pursed his lips, and said, "How much money is still missing?"
Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and counted on his fingers: "To transport it back to Jiajiazhuang, you have to hire at least an ox cart. It is more than thirty miles away from Jiajiazhuang. The price of an ox cart is two
Yuan. Also, our family, old and young, can’t walk far, so we have to take a bus, which costs three yuan. Also, we need help from people in the village for the burial, so we have to buy it for them.
Tobacco and alcohol have to be bought and given red envelopes.
After all the miscellaneous calculations, it cost another seven or eight yuan, not counting other expenses and return travel expenses.
So, I think it’s twenty yuan in total.
Well, I'm still short of twenty yuan, can you lend it to me?
"
Silly Zhu almost laughed in anger, I dare you to do the work at home without paying a penny.
Also, Mrs. Jia Zhang is a little older, but she is not as old as her 70s or 80s, so she can save money by not taking the bus.
Moreover, Qin Huairu concealed a sum of money, and Shazhu often made extra money, and sometimes worked as Bai Yan. He knew that everyone who came to attend the banquet would give gifts, and the gift money could completely offset the cost of the funeral.
"Qin Huairu, it's boring for you to do this. You want to make money without spending a penny!"
"Silly Zhu, you, you, what do you mean!"
"What do I mean? Don't you understand?"
"Even if you can receive gift money, it will have to wait until the funeral is held. Some money has to be given in advance."
Silly Zhu wanted to argue with Qin Huairu, but he heard Yu Juhua's shout from inside the room: "Sinzhu, the water is a bit cold, please help me add some hot water."
Silly Zhu glared at Yu Juhua fiercely, turned around and ran to the coal stove, picked up the hot water bottle and ran into the back room with a smile on his face: "Juhua, you performed very well today, you should soak your feet.
The longer it is, the more comfortable it will be. In the past, you were always impatient."
Yu Juhua did not answer, but asked: "Is it Qin Huairu who is here?"
"Ah? Yes, yes." Silly Zhu saw Yu Juhua's feet lifted out of the enamel basin, and quickly poured hot water into it with a hot water bottle.
The rising heat obscured Yu Juhua's face, making Si Zhu look a bit unreal.
After the white heat, Yu Juhua's calm voice came: "You and Dongxu have been friends for many years. If you don't help at all, you won't feel at ease. Let's do this. Here are three dollars. You can give it to Qin Huai."
Ru, tell her not to come to your door again."
Silly Zhu did not expect that after Yu Juhua found out, instead of getting angry, she took the initiative to take out the money.
For a moment, he didn't know whether Yu Juhua was testing him or whether she was sincere.
When Yu Juhua saw that Sha Zhu didn't take the money, she put the money on the bed, put her feet into the enamel basin, and narrowed her eyes comfortably: "Hot water is more comfortable."
Silly Zhu felt moved in his heart. He sniffed, picked up the money and came to the door.
"Qin Huairu, here are three dollars. You should have heard what Ju Hua said just now. With this money, our two families will have nothing to do with each other in the future."
Although three yuan is quite different from Qin Huairu's ideal amount of money, she knows very well that if it were not for Yu Juhua, Shazhu would not even give her three yuan.
As for 'the two families will never have anything to do with each other again', Qin Huairu didn't take it to heart at all.
Over the years, many people in the courtyard had said this to her, but they still obediently sucked her blood.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu stopped.
Yes, I can definitely take advantage of the opportunity to help Dongxu organize the funeral and go to every house to sell pity.
These days, the dead are the most important, and they will definitely not lose this face.
After Qin Huairu made up her mind, she came to Liu Haizhong's house.
From a long distance, she heard the tongs falling on people and the cries of children.
It seems that Liu Haizhong is educating his children again.
Qin Huairu knocked on the door. Liu Haizhong was beating her hard and was unwilling to stop. She turned to the second aunt and said, "Go and open the door."
Then, he looked at Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, who looked happy and thought they had escaped, and said, "Okay, did you think you were saved? Today I will let you know why the flowers are so red!"
Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian gritted their teeth with hatred. They looked at each other and saw hatred in each other's eyes.
Qin Huairu entered the house and saw a scene of a loving father and a filial son.
Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, Qin Huairu could only speak first: "Second uncle, stop fighting. If the children are beaten, you have to take them to the hospital for treatment."
Look, what is this word?
Liu Haizhong stopped his hand, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have purple potion at home. No matter how severe the beating is, just spit out a little purple potion and it will be fine in two days."
Qin Huairu almost gave Liu Haizhong a thumbs up, but she still had formal matters to attend to.
"Second uncle, Dongxu will be sent back to Jiajiazhuang soon."
Qin Huairu recounted what she said at Shazhu's house, then stared at Liu Haizhong expectantly and said: "Second uncle, although you are the second uncle, everyone in our compound knows that the first uncle Li Donglai usually
I am busy with work and don’t pay much attention to things in the compound. You are always greeting me in the compound. Now that I encounter difficulties, I naturally have to come to you to help me solve it."
Liu Haizhong frowned when he heard this: "So, I have to pay?"
Qin Huairu nodded: "Yes, we have to pay. You also know that we have many children."
Before Qin Huairu finished speaking, Liu Haizhong took out a thirty-cent piece of money from his pocket and handed it over: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago! I will treat this money as a gift, and I will not go to the banquet."
have eaten."
"This" Qin Huairu looked at the three cents and felt like crying.
She originally planned to hold an extended banquet in Jiajiazhuang and then go back to the courtyard to hold one, and then ask the residents to give some extra gift money.
But now, if people don't go to eat noodles, paying them thirty cents is considered reasonable.
Even though Qin Huairu had millions of objections, she could only grit her teeth, take the money and put it in her pocket.
"Thank you then, second uncle."
"You're welcome. We are all residents of the compound. This is what I should do."
Liu Haizhong seemed to have rested. He picked up the pliers again and walked to Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian: "Anyway, we have to apply the purple potion later, so why not apply it a few more times? It can't be wasted anyway."
Liu Guangfu: ""
Liu Guangtian: ""
Qin Huairu quickly escaped from Liu's house. She really couldn't appreciate this kind of purely violent domestic violence scene.
Afterwards, Qin Huairu walked around the middle courtyard.
"Brother Liu family, my Dongxu is going to be sent back to Jiajiazhuang for burial. You also know that my family has no money, so I want to borrow some money for you."
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
"It cost me thirty cents to come here, so you can take it as a gift from me."
"Aunt Zhang"
"Huairu, come here, my aunt has already prepared it for you. Take the 5 cents. Just take it as a gift."
"Brother Wang, my Dongxu"
"Thirty cents, take it."
Outside the house, Qin Huairu held a pile of thirty cents and fell into confusion.
The residents all said the same thing.
Logically speaking, Qin Huairu should have been happy to get the money, but the money was too little.
There are a total of more than twenty households in the compound, and even if they all come here, it will only cost more than six yuan.
There is simply not enough to do things for Jia Dongxu.
Besides, these people all treated the money as gifts, so she would have no excuse to postpone the banquet in the future.
What's going on?
Qin Huairu walked to the front yard with doubts.
Sure enough, several families in the front yard said the same thing.
Qin Huairu suppressed her doubts and knocked on the door of Yanbu Gui's house.
There seems to be something going on in the Yan family. Yan Bugui, the third aunt, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang and Yu Li are all at home.
Only Yan Jiedi sat under the dim light bulb and did her homework.
Seeing Qin Huairu, Yan Jiedi quickly took out thirty cents from his pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu.
"take it."
"ah?"
"Aren't you planning to bury your husband? This is the gift money."
Qin Huairu looked at Yan Jiedi, her heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Jiedi, how did you know? Also, who gave you this money?"
Yan Jiedi is still a primary school student now, and she is not so smart. She stared with big innocent eyes and said: "Of course my father gave me the money."
"Your father is so stingy, how can he be willing to give up money?"
"My father is stingy. He doesn't even let me eat more peanuts on weekdays. But he listens to the uncle." Yan Jiedi said, imitating Li Donglai's behavior, and said carefully: "Old Yan, although Jia Dongxu
I'm not popular, and I don't do anything good on weekdays. But when people die, we old neighbors can't be rude. I've discussed with other residents to come here, and each family contributes 30 cents.
Live up to your conscience."
Qin Huairu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It was indeed Li Donglai's idea.
Only he has such high prestige and can make all the residents reach a consensus.
