Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 221 He might go to extremes

Lu Qiaoge carried her things into the courtyard, and the Sun family naturally saw her.

"Oh, isn't that Qiao Ge?"

"Shao Le just left, what's she doing here?"

Sun Laoda stopped crying and looked at Lu Qiaoge with resentment.

Grandma Sun was a few years older than Meng Xia, and her face also darkened at this moment.

Zhang Zhuliang's eyes were bloodshot, his hands were clenched tightly, and his gaze seemed unfocused; it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

But Lu Qiaoge noticed that his gaze was fixed on the direction of the kitchen.

She barely moved after she came in.

Zhang Zhuliang's wife, Li Cuibo, had just gotten off work and was picking vegetables with her head down, not saying a word, letting the neighbors criticize and insult her.

Sitting on one side washing clothes is Ya Ya's older sister, Zhang Xiaomei.

Zhang Xiaomei is fourteen years old this year and can already do a lot of housework.

Lu Qiaoge smelled the aroma of cornbread and eggplant with sauce.

Zhang Xiaomei had already prepared the meal at home.

Li Cuibo was tidying up cabbage leaves. Next to her was a large basin, which was already half full, as if she was going to make pickled vegetables.

Everyone was surprised to see Lu Qiaoge arrive, but then Li Cuibo forced a smile and said, "Qiaoge, what brings you here?"

Zhang Xiaomei stood up and called out, "Sister Qiao Ge."

Lu Qiaoge said, "I've come to see Yaya. By the way, Aunt Li, did you go to the hospital? How is your injury? What did the doctor say?"

Li Cuibo was deeply moved. She choked up and said, "I went to the staff hospital. The doctor treated me and gave me an injection, but I need to change the dressing every day..."

"I'm going to check on the kids."

Li Cuibo exclaimed "Ah!" without thinking too much, and led Lu Qiaoge into the small room in the west wing.

Ya Ya is six years old and is lying on the kang (a heated brick bed). Her arms, legs, and forehead are wrapped in gauze. She also has bruises on her face, which have been treated with medicine, but they are not that serious, so they are not bandaged.

Lu Qiaoge placed the two cans of food next to Yaya. Just as Li Cuibo was about to say something, Lu Qiaoge waved her hand and said, "These are to supplement the child's nutrition, so don't refuse. I'm here for something else."

Li Cuibo's eyes reddened, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Tell me."

"Do you have the doctor's diagnosis and payment receipts?"

“We have both.”

"Bring it over and let me take a look."

Li Cuibo didn't know what Lu Qiaoge was going to do, but she still handed Lu Qiaoge the few bills that were on the kang table.

Lu Qiaoge took the bills and looked at them one by one. The total medical expenses amounted to thirty-eight yuan.

This includes advance payment, because a week's worth of IV drips is required, so it's all included.

Ya Ya is a child of military personnel, so her medical expenses can be reimbursed.

However, it needs to be submitted to the company's finance department for unified reimbursement at the end of the year.

Lu Qiaoge handed the money to Li Cuibo before saying, "I want to take Master Zhang to the security department to report the case."

Li Cuibo was taken aback, somewhat confused. Lu Qiaoge, however, was not surprised.

It's only the 1970s now. Even if an adult gets bitten by a dog, let alone a child, nobody would think to report it to the police.

She patiently explained, "The certificate issued by the hospital is the evidence. Yaya was bitten by a dog. No matter whose dog it is, the other party has to take responsibility. Not to mention other compensation, the other party must pay your medical expenses, and you can also fight for the child's nutrition expenses. Of course, first we need to find out whose dog it is."

Li Cuibo's lips moved, and Zhang Xiaomei, who followed her in, brightened up: "Sister Qiao Ge, can't what Ya Ya said be used as evidence? She said it was the big black dog that bit her."

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Of course, the security department will investigate."

Lu Qiaoge reached out and placed her hand on Ya Ya's forehead, her voice gentle and soft: "It's alright, don't be afraid, Ya Ya is a brave and good girl!"

Ya Ya is still fast asleep.

Lu Qiaoge didn't know if her energy would work on the child, but Yaya was a cute little girl who liked tabby cats and little yellow dogs. Every time she saw her, she would sweetly call Qiaoge "sister".

Lu Qiaoge could feel a strange connection and saw that Ya Ya's tightly furrowed brows relaxed. Although she was still fast asleep, she felt much better than before.

At least they are not in a state of fear.

This proves that it is useful.

This also proves that her energy cannot cure diseases caused by organs, but it can soothe the mind or human emotions.

This was Lu Qiaoge's first time conducting an experiment, and she never expected it to be a success.

Lu Qiaoge went to the courtyard, where the crowd hadn't dispersed. Zhang Zhuliang, with a sinister expression, remained silent. Lu Qiaoge told him about reporting the case, and he seemed to come back to his senses.

When Lu Qiaoge saw his expression, her heart skipped a beat; something seemed off about this man's mental state.

But she still couldn't touch him.

Lu Qiaoge narrowed her eyes, and couldn't help but recall a tragic case where a dog bite led to the massacre of an entire family.

It was in the 1970s. I don't know which city it was, what the name was, or which organization it belonged to.

All we know is that a dog bit the child. The dog owner denied it, and there was no evidence. Then, the father of the bitten child went to the neighbor's house in the middle of the night and injured three people, killing two of them. Only an old lady and a five-year-old child were left.

Whether it's the Sun family or not, we don't know.

But Lu Qiaoge knew that Zhang Zhuliang was not in a good state.

Years of hardship had already made him anxious, and this incident made him unable to hold back his emotions.

Hopefully, it was all just her wild guesses. Lu Qiaoge said, "Uncle Zhang, let's go to the security office. Let's keep things separate and get to the bottom of the child's matter."

Then he said to Li Cuibo, "Aunt Li, give me the hospital's diagnosis and receipts first, and I'll take them back after I finish making the record."

Zhang Zhuliang's eyes finally cleared up a bit. "That's right, there's no need to argue about whose dog bit someone. Go to the company or the government, and they'll definitely be able to find out."

Lu Qiaoge looked at Aunt Sun, who was glaring at her angrily, and helplessly pulled her over, saying in a low voice, "Aunt Sun, the Zhang family has agreed to compensate us, but they don't have the money on hand and will pay next month. Please wait. The most important thing now is the child's injury. We must not let it worsen. We've been neighbors for so many years, you should know their situation. We can't push them too hard. Let's give them some time."

After a pause, she continued, "Aunt Sun, I know you have a kind heart. My mother always says that she has been fortunate to have you all these years. When we were short of money, you always helped us. I imagine the Zhang family is the same way. Uncle Zhang's actions were wrong, and the compensation you asked for was not much. He must know all this. That's why they don't say a word no matter what you say or say."

“Aunt Sun, they say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We live next to each other all the time, so we can’t let the relationship get too strained. Besides, Ya Ya is only six years old. Wouldn’t it be too pitiful if she got rabies because of this?”

“I’m taking Mr. Zhang to the security office now. This needs to be reported to the police. If a vicious dog injures someone, the owner will definitely be held responsible. Okay, I won’t say any more. Please calm down…”

Grandma Sun looked at Lu Qiaoge with a complicated expression: "You truly deserve to be called the best mediator in the neighborhood committee. What you said is so good. Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't mention it anymore. Investigate. If it really was Dahei who bit me... I'll compensate you double. But if it wasn't, the Zhang family has to give my family an explanation."

Lu Qiaoge nodded: "No problem!"
