Aunt Ergen supported the old lady of the Liu family on the side, glanced at Su Cheng, and said with tears in her eyes,
"My mother-in-law may not be able to survive!"
When Su Cheng saw this, he didn't dare to neglect it.
Following Liu Ergen's footsteps, he arrived at the entrance of the compound. He turned around and saw Liu Xingmin chasing after him. Su Cheng thought that there were enough people to go to the hospital, so there was no need for him to mess around here.
So he stopped, grabbed Liu Xingmin and said,
"Xingmin, please wait a moment."
Liu Xingmin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot at this moment. Tonight, they served Grandma Liu's dinner as usual, and then let the old lady lie down on the kang.
But just now, when everyone turned off the lights and went to sleep, Grandma Liu suddenly cried weakly in bed about being cold.
Aunt Ergen, who was sleeping next to Grandma Liu, was not very deep in sleep. When she heard Grandma Liu's voice, she thought it was because her mother-in-law had not covered her well, so she thought of getting up and covering her up.
But when Aunt Ergen came to her mother-in-law, she saw that the quilt was well wrapped. Aunt Ergen was a little worried, so she called out twice. Grandma Liu's breath was weak now, her lips moved, and she opened her mouth.
, but no sound can be made.
Aunt Ergen reached out and found that the old lady was cold, so she immediately woke up Liu Ergen in a panic.
After Liu Ergen learned about the situation, he did not dare to neglect, and immediately carried Grandma Liu out of the house to rush to the hospital.
So there was a scene where Su Cheng bumped into me.
Liu Xingmin and his little wife were sleeping next door. Naturally, they heard what Liu Ergen was doing. He asked his wife on the kang to take good care of the child, and then followed him out.
Seeing Su Cheng stop him at this time, even though he was very anxious, he still asked,
"Shengzi, why are you stopping me? My grandma is sick, I have to follow her quickly."
Su Cheng didn't waste any time, took out a big unity card from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand and said,
"You should take the money first. If it's not enough, let the people in the courtyard come up with ideas!"
Liu Xingmin didn't shirk, put the money into his pocket and said gratefully,
"Shengzi, thank you!"
Su Cheng nodded and said,
"Okay, stop being pretentious, I won't go. You can quickly follow Uncle Ergen and help him!"
Liu Xingmin did not hesitate, his eyes were slightly red, and he walked quickly towards Uncle Ergen who had already turned the corner.
Su Cheng also sighed slightly when he saw Uncle Ergen's family disappearing in the alley. When he was helping Aunt Ergen just now, he touched Grandma Liu's hand. It was cold and cold, and he was afraid that she could no longer be saved.
.
But Su Cheng couldn't say much. Knowing that Liu Ergen's family was in trouble and he probably didn't have much money, he gave Liu Xingmin ten yuan and took it as his own wish.
When Su Cheng returned to the courtyard gate, he found that the third uncle had not returned to the house yet, and said in surprise,
"Third uncle, what are you still doing here?"
When the third uncle saw this, he asked with concern,
"Chengzi, how is Aunt Liu?"
Su Cheng didn't hide it either, he sighed and said,
"Grandma Liu is afraid she won't be able to survive this winter."
When the third uncle heard this, he also showed a hint of sadness and said,
"Oh, I saw the Liu family's daughter-in-law dragging Aunt Liu out to play in the courtyard two days ago. Why did it suddenly stop?"
Then the third uncle also said worriedly,
"Originally, Ergen's salary was barely enough for the family to live on. Now that Aunt Liu is in this situation, a trip to the hospital will deplete the family's fortune. How do you think your Uncle Ergen and his family will live in the future?"
Following the third uncle, he looked at Su Cheng and said,
"Chengzi, tomorrow I will discuss it with your first and second uncles and call on everyone in the courtyard to raise some money to help your uncle Ergen and his family. What do you think?"
When a family is in trouble and everyone helps, Su Cheng will naturally not object.
Although the third uncle likes to scheme and take advantage, after all, he also wants to make a living.
Seeing that Liu Ergen's family was in trouble, the third uncle immediately thought of helping him, which immediately impressed Su Cheng. He nodded and said,
"Third uncle, your suggestion is very good. We are all in the same compound. We are helping the urgent rather than the poor. Let us help if we can!"
Seeing that Su Cheng had no objections, the third uncle pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and was quite proud. In the past, Yi Zhonghai or Liu Haizhong took the lead in major and minor matters in the courtyard. He, the third uncle, had no sense of existence at all. This time he could not only help Liu Ergen
, it can also make him shine in the courtyard, how can the third uncle be dissatisfied?
However, the third uncle was still afraid that the first uncle would cut him off, so he looked at Su Cheng tactfully and said,
"Chengzi, you live close to Lao Yi, so it's up to you to tell Lao Yi about this."
When Su Cheng saw this, he didn't think much about it. Even if he knew the third uncle's little thoughts, he wouldn't care. As long as the starting point was really to help Liu Ergen, why not let the third uncle take the limelight?
Su Cheng nodded and said,
"Okay, third uncle, then I'll talk to the first uncle later."
Then Su Cheng didn't stop and walked towards the backyard, reminding the third uncle by the way,
"Third uncle, it's not too late after this, so I'm going to leave first. There is something about the teachers in your school and the rain. Don't let me get in trouble!"
When the third uncle heard this, his originally slightly proud mood was instantly replaced by annoyance, and he said with a smile.
"Chengzi, your third uncle will handle the matter and make sure it is done properly for you."
After the third uncle finished speaking, he saw that Su Cheng had already walked away, so he returned home in disgrace and got into bed numbly.
Looking at the third aunt who was already sleeping soundly on the kang, she was very angry.
It's this prodigal woman again. When Su Cheng first came back to the courtyard, she said that the other party was just a guard, so she didn't take Su Cheng seriously.
If I had known that the other party was the section chief of the security department and established a good relationship in advance, would I have gained less benefit later?
Now it was this prodigal woman who insisted on telling him about Su Cheng and Yu Yu's affair, so that she failed to blackmail him and instead made herself look coquettish.
Tomorrow I not only have to pay back the money that Teacher Li gave me, but I also have to explain it to Su Cheng. In the end, I lost nothing.
Thinking of this, the third uncle immediately put his hand into the quilt and pinched the tender flesh of the third aunt's waist hard.
The third aunt was suddenly woken up by the third uncle, and couldn't help but ask,
"Lao Yan, why are you pinching me if I don't sleep this late at night?"
The third uncle heard this and complained,
"Old lady, why do you think your eyes are so mean? You can't just turn a blind eye and pretend you didn't see Su Cheng and He Yuyu get together? Why do you want to tell me?"
The third aunt didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. She just thought that the third uncle was saying something sarcastic, and she immediately said excitedly,
"Old Yan, I casually said something about what happened this morning in front of the old lady today. Guess what? The old lady's face immediately changed! Don't try to show off to me here. Isn't that what you said tonight?
Are you going to work with Su Cheng to ask for temporary workers from the boss?"
The third uncle glanced at the third aunt, thinking that he would have to pay back the twenty yuan he had received from Li Qiufang tomorrow, which made his body ache. He couldn't help pinching the third aunt and said,
"You, a prodigal woman who has little success but more than failure, still have the nerve to talk about this?"
"Hey young!"
The third aunt was in pain and couldn't help complaining,
"Lao Yan, what are you doing? Is it possible that this matter can still be blown away? Isn't Su Cheng afraid that we will expose this matter?"
When the third uncle heard this, he said angrily,
"He Yuyu has called off the engagement a long time ago, but you're going to expose him? At most, Su Cheng will lose his reputation. We offended him for no reason, and he won't give you a stumbling block?"
After hearing this, the third aunt asked cautiously,
"Lao Yan, so the boss really blew it?"
"Not only did he blow it off, he also gave back the share of the money he took from Su Cheng!"
Then the third uncle said sadly,
"Old lady, look at the good thing you did! Not only can we not get Su Cheng's share of the money this time, but tomorrow we have to pay back the 20 yuan share of the money given by Teacher Li. We are really screwed this time.
It’s a waste of rice!”
When the third aunt heard that she had to pay back the money she had received, she felt as uncomfortable as if her flesh had been cut off. She asked with concern,
"Lao Yan, why do you want to return the money to Teacher Li? Is it possible that Su Cheng didn't go on a blind date?"
"He went and took He Yuyu with him. He directly offended Teacher Li. What do you think this is?"
Then he said sadly,
"I don't know where Su Cheng knew that I had also received money from Teacher Li. He had to force me to return the money to him and explain it clearly to him, otherwise he would give me a false name.
I'll catch him!"
The third aunt was also panicked when she heard this, and said with the same hatred,
"Lao Yan, even if Su Cheng is the section chief, he can't just arrest people if he arrests them, right? Who gave him the right?"
"Okay, please stop causing trouble for me. We have no control over this matter. If he wants to have trouble with you, are you afraid that he won't be able to find a way out?"
The third uncle glanced at the third aunt with dissatisfaction and then said,
"By the way, old lady, you are going to pretend to let it slip and spread it out tomorrow when you are privately chatting with some old sisters in the courtyard about Yuyu's break-up of the engagement. Do you understand?"
The third aunt didn't know why and asked,
"Lao Yan, isn't this offending someone?"
The third uncle blamed,
"I said, old lady, why are you so inflexible? Now Su Cheng and He Yuyu are in a relationship. If they don't reveal to the people in the courtyard that Yuyu has broken off their engagement, and they get married later, then the courtyard will
What would people think of them?"
When the third aunt heard this, she suddenly realized,
"Lao Yan, you are still thoughtful, but why should we help Su Cheng like this?"
"It's not because of you today. I thought I could get some benefits from Su Cheng, but I failed and got myself involved. If I don't want to offend him, we have to help him even if we don't. Do you understand?"
The third uncle then explained,
"Actually, what we do is just the icing on the cake. Even if we don't help Su Cheng, the office where He Yuyu broke off the engagement will still know about it, but it will inevitably arouse criticism. Su Cheng just wants to use our words to influence this
It's just reduced to the lowest level, not to mention that they also gave me five yuan. If this matter is done, Su Cheng will give me another five yuan, so why not?"
When the third aunt heard what the third uncle said, her eyes lit up. This was related to whether she could get the next five yuan. She suddenly said with confidence,
"Lao Yan, don't worry about this, I promise to take care of it for you."
The third uncle was still a little worried and told him
"Do you know what to say when you chat with those old sisters in the courtyard?"
The third aunt smiled and said,
"This is not simple. I just pretended that I heard about He Yuyu's marriage and it was over."
The third uncle looked very stubborn and said,
"You old woman, why are you so impetuous in your work? What if others think that He Yuyu is rejected by the husband's family? When Su Cheng marries He Yuyu, he must not be said secretly that he picks up broken shoes.
?”
The third aunt said aggrievedly,
"Then I can't say that He Yuyu regrets his marriage, right? Then everyone can't say that Su Cheng ruined other people's marriages?"
The third uncle thought for a while and realized that it really made sense. He was a little confused. Then he had an idea and showed off his sense of superiority.
"I said, old lady, why are you so stupid? The person He Yuyu was talking to before didn't come to our compound to pay a bride price. This shouldn't have anything to do with repenting of the marriage, right? Then you can change your excuse and say that He Yuyu and
When her partner breaks up, the old ladies in the courtyard will definitely ask He Yuyu whether the engagement was broken off by the man or if he regretted the engagement. Just take advantage of the situation and use the betrothal gift as an excuse. The betrothal gift has not been given yet, so how could He Yuyu break off the engagement or regret the engagement?
statement?"
When the third aunt heard what the third uncle said, her eyes lit up. She shook the third uncle's arm in bed and worshiped,
"Hey, Lao Yan, you are still smart, why didn't I think of it? Aren't we all free to fall in love now? It's normal for people to break up if they find it inappropriate to fall in love."
When the third uncle saw the third aunt holding his arm and shaking him under the quilt, he suddenly said with dissatisfaction,
"I said, old lady, can you please stop dawdling? If I hadn't listened to your words today, even if Su Cheng's share of the money was returned, we could still have kept Teacher Li's twenty yuan.
As for the current situation where both people and money are empty?"
When the third aunt heard this, she immediately felt aggrieved and said,
"Lao Yan, can you blame me for this? Who knew Yuyu had broken off the engagement early in the morning?"
The third uncle reprimanded,
"You usually stay in the courtyard when you have nothing to do. Can't you be more considerate? He Yuyu gave us wedding candies very early, but the husband's family has not come to our courtyard to lay down the bride price. If you pay more attention
Oh, how could such a lousy thing happen today??"
The third aunt felt even more aggrieved by the third uncle's reprimand, and said cautiously,
"Lao Yan, why didn't you give me a heads up?"
The third uncle thought about the twenty yuan that Li Qiufang had to put in his pocket, and he would have to pay it back tomorrow, and he had to apologize to others, so he was angry. He saw that the third aunt still blamed him in her words.
meaning, he immediately cursed,
"You have a head on your own head, and you need me to remind you of everything. Are you a pig?"
Then he said sadly again,
"If you don't have enough food and clothing, you will suffer poverty if you don't calculate it. Old lady, I need money to open the door, so please give me something to eat!"
When the third aunt saw this, she could only admit her mistake aggrievedly and persuaded
"Lao Yan, I know I was wrong. Don't blame yourself too much. No matter what, Su Cheng agreed to us. As long as the rainwater issue is done well, he will give us another five yuan."
After hearing this, the third uncle felt a little better, and then warned,
"Old lady, you can't cause any more trouble for me, do you understand?"
When the third aunt heard this, she immediately vowed,
"Lao Yan, don't worry, I'll take care of it and make sure everything is done beautifully this time!"
When the third uncle saw this, he couldn't say anything more, and then he brought up what happened at Liu Ergen's house next door.
"Old lady, I'm afraid Aunt Liu next door is dying. Everyone knows the situation of Liu Ergen's family. I plan to call the courtyard tomorrow to raise funds for Liu Ergen's family to help them tide over this difficulty."
