Qin Huairu deliberately picked lunchtime to visit Yi Zhonghai's house.
"Grandpa Yi Yao, Mom Yi Yao, you're still eating. I'll come over after you're done eating.”
"Huai Ru, don't be in a hurry to leave. We'll talk about the same thing while eating.”A maid called out to Qin Huairu, who had turned to leave.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to sit down and eat together?" Grandpa Yi had already guessed that she was here for what happened last night.
"Oh, I've already eaten.”
Embarrassed, Qin Huiru said,""First Elder, I really didn't expect such things to happen in our family one after another. I'm really sorry for causing so much trouble to the courtyard!”
Yi Zhonghai was sweating profusely. You didn't do anything wrong. The one who should apologize is the child's father and grandmother. An adult should set an example for their child and not steal. However, to be honest, I actually somewhat understand them. If they weren't forced into a desperate situation, I don't think they would do such a thing.”
"First Elder, you're probably the only one in the entire Siheyuan who would think that way. The others would retreat when they see us, as if we have the plague.”Qin Huairu looked at the First Uncle and the First Uncle's mother with teary eyes.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was indeed thinking," Isn't poverty more terrible than the plague?
"First Elder, I'm actually here to ask for your help!”
"Yesterday, Jiang Fan said that he wanted us to compensate him 50 yuan before he was willing to let Dongxu go. I've been scraping together all morning and only managed to scrape together 10 yuan. Now, I'm still short of 40 yuan. I really have no other choice, so I can only come to you!”Qin Huairu was on the verge of tears.
"Huai Ru, don't be anxious. Let's think of a way together.”A mother patted her shoulder to comfort her.
The First Elder originally wanted everyone to donate more money to the Jia family, but last night, he asked the Second Elder and Third Elder's families. They were not willing, so he did not force them.
After all, everyone had already done their part before. This time, Jia Dongxu was asking for trouble.
Since Qin Huairu had come knocking on his door today, he would bring her to the courtyard and knock on each door to ask.
"How about this? I'll bring you to the courtyard to discuss with everyone and see what they have to say.”The First Elder still couldn't bear to see Qin Huiru's humble appearance.
"That's great. With you around, I'm relieved!”Qin Huairu beamed with joy.
"I've discussed it with your mother. You can take this fifteen yuan first. Add it to what you have on hand. Now we have twenty-five yuan. It shouldn't be a problem to let everyone gather more.”After saying that, Grandpa Yi handed Qin Huairu ten yuan.
Qin Huairu was very touched as she received it and carefully stuffed it into her pocket.
First Uncle took her to Third Uncle's house.
Yan Bugui was a stingy person. He even schemed against his own children. He was the kind of person who would squeeze oil out of a handful of dirt. It was probably unrealistic to get money from him.
The Third Elder refused on the spot." Impossible! I won't pay a single cent. Jia Dongxu asked for it. He hasn't even recovered yet, and he's already a thief!"”
"Besides, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Jia Dongxu was taught by his mother to steal other people's things. This is a big problem. We must prevent such things from happening in our department in the future. If it happens again, I'll definitely be the first to call the police!”
After hearing Yan Bugui's words, the First Elder still did not give up."Old Yan, just treat it as a good deed and help their family!”
"That's all I have to say. You guys can go back!”Yan Bugui waved at them and closed the door, ignoring them.
Qin Huairu didn't say a word. After hearing Third Elder's words, she really didn't have the face to speak again.
The two of them went to the front yard to look for Liu Haizhong, who was watching others play chess in the yard with great interest.
However, when he saw the First Young Master and Qin Huairu, his expression changed instantly, and he immediately turned around to leave.
The two of them took the opportunity to chase after him, but Grandpa Yi called out to him.
"Old Liu, wait a minute. I have something to discuss with you.”
"It doesn't matter. There's no room for discussion!" Before they could say anything, the second uncle said it in advance.
Grandpa Yi was a little speechless." I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already saying this. It's not appropriate!"”
"I saw the people behind you and knew what you wanted to say. I told you about this yesterday. There's no room for discussion!”Liu Haizhong went home after saying that.
The two of them had been given the cold shoulder, so Master Yi could only bring Qin Huairu to look for Silly Zhu.
"Yo, great aunt, what brings you here?”Only Silly Zhu was smiling when he saw Qin Huiru.
Ever since Jia Dongxu was discharged from the hospital, Qin Huairu had never stepped into his house again.
Silly Zhu already knew that Qin Huiru was here to borrow money.
Actually, everyone in the courtyard was well aware that the Jia family was a bottomless pit. As long as they lent money to Qin Huairu, it would be like beating a dog with a meat bun. There was no return.
However, Silly Zhu was just that stupid. He only wanted to treat Qin Huiru well.
Actually, before she went to look for the First Young Master, Qin Huiru had also gone to look for Xu Damao. They had bumped into each other when she went out in the morning, so Qin Huiru did not let him off either.
"Qin Huairu, I haven't even married a wife yet, and you still have the cheek to ask me to lend you money? Let me tell you, no way. I'm saving my money for my wife.”
"Damao, as long as you lend me money, I can introduce you to someone. I have several beautiful cousins in my hometown.”
She did not expect Xu Damao to not fall for it at all. He was not interested in what she said at all.
"Forget it! Qin Huairu, I heard that you were going to introduce someone to Silly Zhu previously. In the end, it's been a few weeks and there's still no sign of you. I'm not as stupid as him. I'm not so easily deceived by you. If I believe you, I won't be called Xu Damao in the future!”
Xu Damao did not want to listen to Qin Huairu's words anymore and quickly walked out of the courtyard house.
Noticing that Qin Huiru was in a difficult position to speak, Master Yi said to Silly Zhu,""Zhu Zi, you saw what happened last night. Jiang Fan refused to let it go and insisted that the Jia family compensate 50 yuan. Qin Huairu and I gathered together, but we only managed to gather 25 yuan. That's why we came to you to think of a way to gather enough money.”
"That means we're still short of 25 yuan. Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll send it to her house tomorrow!”Shazhu patted his chest and promised.
"That's great! "Look, now that their family is in trouble again, you should help them more in the future. You should also share some of the vegetables brought back from the factory with their family. Everyone has been living together for so long.”Grandpa Yi began to act like a white lotus again.
Silly Zhu seemed to have thought of something and smiled wickedly,""Of course, no problem. I'll definitely help if I can. Sister Qin, get the stick and Little Shang to come to me later. I have delicious food for them.”
Qin Huiru's mood instantly improved after receiving Silly Zhu's assurance and being teased by him. She smiled and asked him,""What is it? Can't you let me bring it back now?"
"What are you anxious about? You'll know when they take it back.”
Silly Zhu teased Qin Huairu as if there was no one around, and the young master almost couldn't bear to watch.
