Watching Xiao Shan carry his things home, Bang Geng, who was standing behind the window, looked on with envy.
The next morning, Banggeng confidently took his slingshot and headed out of the city.
Along the way, Banggeng was filled with excitement, feeling that he could also hunt many prey like Xiaoshan.
In the afternoon, a stranger entered the courtyard.
Yan Bugui, who was sitting at the entrance tending to his potted plants, stopped the man: "Comrade, you're not from our compound, are you?"
"Yes, I'm looking for someone from the Jia family! Is Jia Geng from this courtyard? He fell off a hillside while hunting outside the city. Luckily, the people in our village found him early and he's been taken to the hospital now, otherwise he might not be alive," the stranger said to Yan Bugui.
Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui hurriedly said to the stranger, "Comrade, Jia Geng lives in this courtyard. Come with me! His grandmother is home. You can talk to her directly."
After leading the people to the central courtyard, Yan Bugui shouted loudly at the entrance of the Jia family's house: "Jia Zhangshi, come out here, someone is looking for you."
"You old bastard, what's wrong with you calling my soul? What is it?" Jia Zhangshi cursed as she walked out of the house.
Zhou Xiuying was also with him.
Yan Bugui, having heard Jia Zhangshi's harsh words, lost all interest in saying anything more and simply turned around and went back.
Seeing Yan Bugui turn and leave, the stranger said to Jia Zhangshi, "Hello, Bang Geng fell down the hillside while hunting outside the city. Luckily, we took him to the hospital, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. Your family should go and see him quickly. I have something to do at home, so I'll be leaving now."
The messenger wasn't stupid; he could tell from Jia Zhangshi's appearance that she was a troublemaker.
He's seen plenty of people like that, so naturally he won't stay and cause trouble for himself.
By the time Madam Jia realized what was happening, the messenger had already left the courtyard.
Zhou Xiuying panicked immediately!
She was still dreaming of eating wild game at home, but now not only has her dream been shattered, but even her dog, Banggeng, is injured and hospitalized.
After regaining her senses, Jia Zhangshi immediately started wailing, "We're not going to live! Let our whole family die! Bang Geng is injured and hospitalized, and there's no one to take care of him."
Zhou Xiuying stood awkwardly to the side, not knowing what to do.
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's howling, many people from the courtyard came out.
"Sister-in-law, what happened?" Yi Zhonghai asked as he walked over.
When Jia Zhangshi saw Yi Zhonghai, it was like seeing a lifeline, as if she had forgotten that she had told Bang Geng not to interfere in Yi Zhonghai's affairs.
Jia Zhangshi grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand and wailed, "Old Yi, we can't go on like this! Banggeng went hunting outside the city and fell down the hillside. He's in the hospital now. I'm just an old woman with no money. I can't live like this."
"It's all Xiao Shan's fault. If he hadn't gone hunting all the time, would our Banggeng have fallen down the hillside?"
Xiao Shan heard Jia Zhangshi howling in the middle courtyard and came over to see what was going on, but he didn't expect that he would also be involved.
Xiao Shan immediately stepped forward and said, "Aunt Jia, one must be reasonable. What does Bang Geng falling down the hillside have to do with me? I didn't let him go hunting outside the city! If you're trying to extort money from me, you've picked the wrong person!"
Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand Xiao Shan's words: "Xiao Shan, how can you talk to your sister-in-law like that? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"
"Uncle, Aunt Jia is trying to extort money from me, and she won't even let me speak?" Xiao Shan looked at Yi Zhonghai and sneered. "By the way, now that you're paying Bang Geng's medical expenses, you can salvage your image in Bang Geng's mind."
After saying that, Xiao Shan turned around and went home.
This is why Xiao Shan didn't want to argue with Jia Zhangshi; otherwise, he could have easily made her wish she were dead!
Back home, Ding Qiunan looked at Xiao Shan with some curiosity and asked, "Weren't you going to watch the excitement? Why did you end up arguing with Jia Zhangshi?"
“Mrs. Jia thinks that now that I’ve resigned from the steel rolling mill, I’m an easy target and she wants to bully me. I’m not going to let her get away with this!” Xiao Shan said with a smile.
Ding Qiunan nodded and said, "Jia Zhangshi is indeed a troublemaker. We should avoid getting involved with them!"
"Yes, my wife is right!"
In the intermediate court, Yi Zhonghai, seeing Jia Zhangshi wailing, advised, "Sister-in-law, making a scene like this won't solve anything. How about this, I'll go to the hospital to see her. Xiuying, take your grandmother to the steel mill to find Huairu and have her go to the hospital too, and ask her what happened!"
Chapter 559, The Unreasonable Argumentation of Madam Jia! (Please Subscribe!)
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had taken the matter on, Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped wailing: "Alright, I'll take Xiuying to the steel mill to find Huairu right now! Old Yi, thank you so much. Once Banggeng is discharged from the hospital, I'll have him take good care of you."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt much better.
After receiving the news, Qin Huairu lost all interest in going to work at the steel rolling mill.
After asking the workshop director for leave, Qin Huairu rushed to the hospital.
When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor had already treated the scab.
Looking at Banggeng, whose head was wrapped in gauze and whose legs were bandaged, Qin Huairu asked the doctor anxiously, "Doctor, how is my son now?"
"You suffered a head injury with a mild concussion, and your left leg is broken, but otherwise you're fine! Just rest well and don't get out of bed for the next three months. If you recover well, you should be alright," the doctor said slowly to Qin Huairu.
After seeing the doctor off, Qin Huairu held Banggeng's hand and began to cry: "Banggeng, what happened to you? Weren't you supposed to be hunting? How did you fall down the hillside?"
"I wasn't paying attention while chasing the rabbit, and I accidentally slipped and fell down the hillside!" Banggeng sighed, somewhat embarrassed.
Hearing Bang Geng's words, Qin Huairu didn't know what to say.
With a sigh, Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng earnestly and said, "Banggeng, once you've recovered, don't even think about hunting anymore. Just find a job! Your safety and well-being are more important to me than anything else!"
"Let's talk about it when I'm better." Bang Geng didn't want to continue the conversation.
Bang Geng knew very well that finding a job wasn't going to be easy in the current situation!
Just then, Jia Zhangshi and Zhou Xiuying, who were following behind, also came in.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi walk in, Qin Huairu asked, "Mom, did you bring money? Banggeng needs money for hospitalization, and you usually manage the household finances."
Jia Zhangshi said with some pride, "We don't need to spend any money, Lao Yi paid for it! His godson was injured and hospitalized, so as his godfather, he has to contribute some money!"
"Where is the old man? I can't see him." Qin Huairu asked Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi said nonchalantly, "I guess they'll leave after paying!"
Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng and sighed, "Banggeng, your uncle is actually a good person. You don't need to be so prejudiced against him! You know what our family situation is. Just be polite to him and greet him when you see him. You don't need to worry about anything else. Your grandma and I will take care of everything."
Although Banggeng's expression was somewhat unpleasant, he still nodded.
The saying goes, "Poverty makes people lose their ambition." Now, Yi Zhonghai is paying for my medical expenses, so there's nothing more to say.
Seeing Bang Geng nod, Qin Huairu didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Madam Jia Zhang said indignantly, "When we get back, we must find Xiao Shan and demand an explanation! If he hadn't gone hunting, would he have been able to seduce my grandson to leave the city and get injured and hospitalized? He should bear some responsibility for this."
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable words, Qin Huairu quickly stopped her, saying, "Mom, don't go looking for trouble with Xiaoshan. We're in the wrong. Xiaoshan didn't instigate us to go hunting outside the city, so we can't blame him."
Qin Huairu was also exhausted; her son was a worry, and her mother-in-law was even more of a worry.
Moreover, she knew very well that although Xiao Shan had resigned, he still had a good relationship with the leaders of the steel rolling mill!
Given your own situation, why would you go and try to extort money from someone else? You're just asking for trouble!
However, Banggeng, lying on the hospital bed, said to Qin Huairu, "Mom, why are you stopping my grandma? Let her go. If she can get the money, great. If not, she can come back. What else can she do? She's not just the deputy director of the steel mill anymore; she's an unemployed bum."
Hearing her great-grandson support her, Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up: "My grandson is right. Xiao Shan is just an unemployed bum now, not the deputy director of the steel mill. If he doesn't give us the money, I'll say he instigated Bang Geng to go hunting outside the city, which led to Bang Geng getting injured and hospitalized!"
After saying that, Jia Zhangshi got up and left the ward.
Qin Huairu couldn't stop her even if she wanted to.
Back when Dongxu was alive, Jia Zhangshi was quite sensible.
But I'm getting more and more confused!
After instructing Zhou Xiuying to look after Banggeng, Qin Huairu immediately got up and chased after him.
She couldn't let Jia Zhangshi really offend Xiaoshan to death!
When Jia Zhangshi returned to the courtyard house, Xiao Shan's family was having dinner.
Upon arriving in the backyard, Jia Zhangshi shouted at Xiao Shan's door, "Xiao Shan, you come out here! You have to take responsibility for my grandson's injury and hospitalization while hunting!"
Xiao Shan frowned and told Ding Qiunan and her children to continue eating: "You all keep eating, don't worry about her!"
After saying that, Xiao Shan got up and went to the backyard.
Seeing Xiao Shan come out of the house, Jia Zhangshi pointed at him indignantly and said, "Xiao Shan, if it weren't for your instigation, how could our Bang Geng have gone out of town to hunt? So you have to take responsibility for this!"
At this moment, the people in the courtyard heard the commotion in the backyard and all gathered around.
Hearing Jia Zhangshi's absurd and unreasonable words, Yan Bugui was the first to stand up and say, "Jia Zhangshi, stop talking nonsense! Banggeng got injured while hunting outside the city on his own. What does that have to do with Xiaoshan?"
Upon hearing Yan Bugui's words, the onlookers all chimed in.
"Exactly, what does it have to do with Xiaoshan whether or not your Banggeng went along?"
"That's right, it was your pheasant who got jealous and went hunting outside the city. Who can you blame for getting injured?"
"Jia Zhangshi, you're making baseless accusations; you'll be arrested and educated by the neighborhood committee!"
"Back during the snow disaster, your Jia family also received a favor from Xiaoshan. Now you're slandering Xiaoshan without any conscience?"
……
While onlookers enjoy gossip, it doesn't mean they lack a sense of right and wrong.
They remember how Xiao Shan helped them through the snowstorm!
Madam Jia Zhang hadn't expected that before Xiao Shan could even speak, the people in the courtyard would start verbally attacking him!
Seeing the indignant onlookers around her, Jia Zhangshi plopped down on the ground and began to unleash her powerful summoning spell: "We're doomed! There are no good people in this courtyard; they've all ganged up on us orphans and widows!"
"Old Jia, Dongxu, come up and take a look. Take them all away!"
Chapter 560, Threatening Qin Huairu! (Please subscribe!)
The onlookers were speechless as they watched Jia Zhangshi unleash her ultimate move.
Is it really true that you can rely on just one trick to succeed in everything?
So many years have passed, and Jia Zhangshi's moves haven't changed at all!
At this moment, Xiao Shan looked at Jia Zhangshi and said slowly, "Aunt Jia, this is a new society now. If you keep practicing feudal superstitions like this, you'll be arrested and punished by the neighborhood committee!"
Upon hearing that she was to be arrested and educated by the neighborhood committee, Jia Zhangshi immediately stood up from the ground.
Having been reprimanded by the neighborhood committee for months over the painkiller issue, Jia Zhangshi had no intention of going to such a place again!
"Xiaoshan, don't scare me!" Brushing the dust off her clothes, Jia Zhangshi looked at Xiao Shan and said, "I'm just missing my husband and son, it's not some kind of feudal superstition!"
Xiao Shan's lips curled up slightly: "Aunt Jia, whether or not it's feudal superstition, it's not up to you to decide!"
After a slight pause, looking at Jia Zhangshi who was clearly frightened, Xiao Shan said coldly, "Aunt Jia, I'll say it again, the matter of the stick has nothing to do with me. If you continue to make trouble and slander me, I'm going to go to the police!"
Qin Huairu also ran into the courtyard at this moment.
She chased after Jia Zhangshi, but despite her best efforts, she couldn't catch up.
Upon hearing Xiao Shan say he was going to find the police, Qin Huairu quickly said, "Xiao Shan, my mother-in-law has been confused these past few days. Don't take it to heart. Give your sister-in-law some face!"
Then Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "Mom, I told you not to come, but you insisted. Banggeng going out of town to hunt has nothing to do with Xiaoshan!"
Jia Zhangshi knew she was in the wrong, and if the police came, she would at least get a reprimand.
So he shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Xiao Shan looked at Qin Huairu and said slowly, "Sister-in-law, I know your family has it tough, so I'll give you face this time! But if I hear Aunt Jia talking nonsense again, I won't be so polite!"
"Of course, of course, I will talk to my mom properly!" Qin Huairu said hurriedly upon hearing Xiao Shan's words.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's resentful expression, Xiao Shan thought for a moment and then said to Qin Huairu, "Sister-in-law, let's talk in private!"
Although Qin Huairu didn't know what Xiao Shan wanted to do, she obediently followed him to the foot of the wall.
Xiao Shan used his magic to block out outsiders' prying eyes, took out a medical report from his backpack in the chat group, and placed it in front of Qin Huairu: "Sister-in-law, take a look at this!"
"What is this?" Qin Huairu asked curiously as she leaned closer to look at the medical report in Xiao Shan's hand.
When Qin Huairu looked at the contents of the examination report, she immediately covered her mouth.
"Sister-in-law, you probably know what will happen to your family if I release this report!" Looking at Qin Huairu who was covering her mouth, Xiao Shan put away the medical report. "Not to mention anything else, at the very least, you'll have to return all the compensation the factory gave to Dongxu!"
"If the factory is too ruthless, you might even have to pay them compensation!"
"So you'd better persuade Aunt Jia not to cause me any more trouble, or I won't be so polite!"
Qin Huairu looked at Xiao Shan with slightly red eyes and said, "Xiao Shan, your sister-in-law just wants to ask you one question, is it really because of this that your brother Dongxu..."
Qin Huairu didn't question the authenticity of the form because she believed Xiao Shan wouldn't use a fake one to deceive her.
After all these years, although Xiao Shan has sometimes cheated people, he has never lied to anyone!
