Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Qin Huairu shook her head.

"If the bag is gone, what's the point of having a child? Xu Damao might have a one in ten thousand chance, but Shazhu might not even live a year."

Jia Zhangshi smacked her lips.

"This child is so pitiful."

"Tell me, he's not even married yet, isn't Old He going to have no descendants?"

"Like Xu Damao, he became an heirless family."

"Do you think our courtyard has bad feng shui?"

"Yi Zhonghai is childless, Xu Damao is childless, and Sha Zhu is childless. All three of the wealthy people in the courtyard are now useless."

At this point, Madam Jia paused for a moment before continuing.

Even so, you can't give fifty yuan. Three or five yuan will do.

“If he is short of money, we will have the eldest uncle ask the second and third uncles to hold a hospital-wide meeting to help him raise money for medical expenses.”

Qin Huairu sighed.

"Mom, think about it carefully. Sha Zhu can't have children anymore, he's just like an old man."

“But Sha Zhu has a skill. Last month, he earned twenty-one yuan just from doing odd jobs, which is no less than the temporary workers in the factory.”

Madam Jia was taken aback at first, then she started to think about it. After a while, she slapped her thigh and said.

"Yeah, Sha Zhu doesn't have any children!"

“He usually dotes on our Banggeng the most. If we let Banggeng be his godson and Huaihua Xiaodang be his godson.”

"From now on, if we eat his food or spend his money, no one will be able to complain or gossip."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had finally come to her senses, Qin Huairu continued to persuade her.

“If we don’t do that, just think about it. Once Yushui gets married, we’ll let Banggeng move in and live there just like it’s his own home.”

"Also, since Banggeng can't go to school now, he has to learn a trade."

"Once Banggeng becomes Shazhu's godson, let him learn to cook from Shazhu. Shazhu will definitely teach him everything he knows."

"Even if someone with such a great idea doesn't go to school, they can still make a living. Don't you agree?"

Jia Zhangshi praised.

"That's right, that makes sense."

Qin Huairu said.

"That's why I agreed to pay the medical expenses."

"It can show outsiders that we know how to be grateful, and it can also make Sha Zhu's feelings more inclined towards us."

"When Bang Geng grows up and gets married, he, as the godfather, will have to take care of things."

"Since Xiao Dang and Huaihua are getting married, he should also give them some dowry."

As the saying goes, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub." Our efforts today are for a better future.

Madam Jia was attracted by the rosy picture Qin Huairu painted, and after thinking for a moment, she agreed.

"Okay, I'll pay for it!"

............................................................

At the Sixth Hospital, Qin Huairu brought millet porridge and stir-fried dishes to the ward.

"I hope I'm not too late. I was worried that I might miss the mealtime and make you eat."

He Yuzhu smiled as he looked at the lunchbox Qin Huairu was carrying.

"Sister Qin, if you had come any later, we would have gone to the hospital cafeteria for food."

Qin Huairu placed the lunchbox on the small table next to the hospital bed.

"The food in the cafeteria is too bland; it doesn't taste as good as what I cook at home."

"Here, have a taste. I just made some meat porridge; it smells delicious."

As they spoke, Qin Huairu also served a portion to the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the diced lean meat in the millet porridge and the few thin slices of white meat in the potatoes and cabbage and praised them.

"Xiao Qin, you've gone to so much trouble. There's meat in all of these dishes."

He Yuzhu laughed.

"Yes, Sister Qin is really generous today."

Qin Huairu frankly stated.

"Don't flatter me, we don't have any meat left at home."

"This is what I found when I was cleaning up Shazhu's house after I got back. It was 18 years old."

"I was afraid that the meat would be ruined by rats if left out, so I took the liberty of cooking it for you. Consider it a way of offering something I didn't have."

Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

Xu Damao, who was standing nearby, chimed in with a jeer.

"Haha, I was wondering why Qin Huairu, who is struggling to make ends meet, was so generous. It turns out she wasn't using their own food."

He Yuzhu picked up a pillow and threw it at Xu Damao across from him.

"Xu Damao, do you know why the hell you're not getting any food?"

"You have such a sharp tongue!"

Xu Damao threw the pillow back and stuck out his tongue.

"I don't need it. My parents will bring me food, so I don't need it."

He Yuzhu sneered.

"Your parents brought you food?"

Why don't you ask your fat wife to bring you food?

“Ever since you came in yesterday, they haven’t shown up.”

"Could it be that while you were away, she gave you a piece of her mind and ran off with some pretty boy?"

Xu Damao snorted.

"Your wife ran off with someone else!"

He Yuzhu said.

"I don't have a wife, and she won't marry me. I'm so angry!"

Just as the two started arguing again, someone entered the ward.

"Xu Damao, He Yuzhu, right?"

"I am Yang Weimin from the Personnel Department of the Steel Rolling Mill. I am here on behalf of the Steel Rolling Mill to convey the decision regarding your handling of this matter."

[As decided by the factory leadership, Xu Damao is relieved of his position as projectionist in the propaganda department, given a company-wide reprimand, and reassigned to the fourth workshop for reform. His monthly salary is reduced to 23 yuan. His record of assaulting others is also removed from his file, and he is barred from promotion for ten years.]

[The leadership has decided to dismiss He Yuzhu, a temporary worker in the sanitation department's cleaning team, and the factory office has issued a resolution permanently barring him from re-employment.]

"Gentlemen, is there anything else you would like to say?"

The steel mill's decision made no mention of Xu Damao's hooliganism, and the punishment appeared to be based on fighting.

However, judging solely from the fight, Xu Damao's punishment was quite severe. He lost his lucrative position as one of the eight key officials and was reassigned to a workshop for retraining.

The record of the assault and the ten-year ban on promotion directly ended Xu Damao's political career, leaving him only an ordinary worker.

He Yuzhu's punishment was within his expectations. Although he initially acted bravely and righteously, his actions changed after the security department stopped him and he took action again.

Therefore, it was reasonable for He Yuzhu to be dismissed a second time, and the decision to never rehire him was simply to put an end to his idea of ​​returning to the steel rolling mill.

When Xu Fugui heard that his son had been punished so severely, he couldn't accept it.

"Officer Yang, isn't this punishment too harsh?"

"Da Mao entered the factory as an apprentice at the age of sixteen, and has now gone through twelve years of hard work, even if he has not made any great achievements."

"Could you please talk to the factory leaders and see if you can reduce the punishment for Da Mao? How about suspending him from his duties and reflecting on his actions, and deducting his salary for a year or two?"

Yang Weimin said calmly.

"This is the factory's final decision. It was communicated to the entire factory when I arrived, and the decision cannot be changed."

"Moreover, everyone here knows that Xu Damao's punishment is already considered lenient."

"With the year-end approaching, the factory didn't want any bad rumors to affect the overall situation, and Qin Huairu was no longer pursuing Xu Damao's responsibility."

"That's why the factory didn't pursue Xu Damao's alleged hooliganism to the end."
