Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 29 Jia Dongxu is in trouble

Sha Zhu originally wanted to take this opportunity to have more contact with Sister Qin.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

He turned and ran, shouting as he ran: "Believe it or not."

Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu didn't seem to be lying, so she quickly asked, "Zhu Zi, are you telling the truth? Is our Dong Xu really injured?"

"Really, I was crushed under the machine. It was so miserable." Sha Zhu replied.

"Sister Qin, can I joke about this?"

"I went to the hospital with my uncle, but I still don't know what the situation is now?"

"Director Yang asked me to come back and report the news. The person has been sent to the Red Star Hospital. You should go there quickly. Maybe you can see him for the last time."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Can Sha Zhu make Sister Qin fall?

He hugged Qin Huairu directly.

Everyone pinched Qin Huairu's Ren Zhong point and gave her water, and finally she was saved.

Auntie couldn't bear to watch it anymore and said quickly, "Sister-in-law Jia, let's go to the hospital to see Dongxu."

The Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law then hurried to the Red Star Hospital.

Sha Zhu supported Qin Huairu, and the three of them came to the Red Star Hospital.

Jia Dongxu is still being rescued.

Director Yang and a group of leaders were waiting in the corridor.

Jia Zhang sat on the bench with a dull look in her eyes, not knowing what she was mumbling.

Qin Huairu's face was pale, and she was waiting anxiously with a big belly.

After a while, the door of the operating room opened and a doctor in a white coat walked out.

When Director Yang saw this, he quickly came over and asked what was going on.

The doctor asked everyone to mourn.

There's no way to save this.

"Oh, my goodness, my poor child."

This shout scared Director Yang.

"How can we live if you die?"

"I won't live anymore."

Director Yang quickly comforted him: "The factory will definitely take care of it, please rest assured."

Director Yang and his colleagues went back to discuss the issue of compensation.

The eldest uncle and Sha Zhu took Jia Dongxu back to arrange the funeral.

A mourning shed was set up in the courtyard, and three uncles arranged the funeral affairs, with the third uncle being responsible for collecting donations.

When Zhang Weiguo returned to the courtyard, he saw the third uncle sitting behind a table.

"Chief Zhang, Jia Dongxu is dead. As a member of the courtyard, shouldn't you express your support?" said the third uncle.

"sure."

Zhang Weiguo picked up the list and saw that it said: the first uncle got ten yuan, the second uncle got five yuan, and the third uncle got one yuan.

Ten dollars for this silly post, this silly post starts now.

Everyone else is fifty cents.

Zhang Weiguo also took out a dollar and gave it to the third uncle.

Just like the third uncle, no one could say anything.

Zhang Weiguo saw Qin Huairu, wearing mourning clothes, kneeling in front of Jia Dongxu's portrait with Banggeng and Xiaodang.

Qin Huairu was really sad. She had married into the city to enjoy a good life, but that blessing did not come to her. Her husband also died, and the family lost its source of income. How could they survive?

Banggeng was really sad when he knew that his father was gone and there would be no more delicious food in the future.

Xiaodang knew nothing. When he saw his mother and brother crying, he started crying too.

Over the years, Jia Dongxu has been unmotivated and has not been nice to her, and the two of them have no feelings for each other.

Now he died suddenly, but what will happen to this family? She is pregnant and has two children.

Even if she could take over Jia Dongxu's job, the apprentice's salary of 17.5 yuan was not enough to feed the family.

The next day, everyone cooked a meal together, and after the meal, they buried Jia Dongxu.

The money was paid by Sha Zhu, and the meal was also cooked by Sha Zhu.

As soon as Jia Dongxu died, Shazhu started to act like a bootlicker.

Jia Dongxu's funeral was finally completed with the help of the neighbors in the compound. The whole compound was filled with the sound of Jia Zhang cursing. If it weren't for the fact that her son had just died, everyone would have fought with her.

Just after the funeral, Jia Zhang rushed into the uncle's house. Zhang Weiguo guessed that it was about the compensation.

Afterwards, the uncle took Jia Zhang to the steel rolling mill, and no one knew what happened in the end.

Zhang Weiguo guessed that the loss must have been a huge one, otherwise Jia Zhang would not have let it go.

Afterwards, Zhang Weiguo heard from Deputy Factory Director Li that he compensated the Jia family 500 yuan and gave them 10 yuan a month for living expenses until Qin Huairu finished her confinement and returned to work.

The factory usually pays two hundred yuan in compensation for this kind of injuries and deaths caused by one's own mistakes, and at most three hundred yuan.

Five hundred yuan as compensation to the Jia family is quite a lot.

No wonder Jia Zhang stopped making trouble.

The days that followed were relatively uneventful, except that Jia Zhang would curse from time to time.

The uncle also shifted his retirement goal from the Jia family to Sha Zhu.

I started to care more about Sha Zhu.

The factory is also working overtime.

Jia Dongxu's death did not cause any ripples in this compound.

Everyone else is still living the same way they have been living before, except for the Jia family, whose living standard has plummeted.

Nowadays, our meals consist of steamed bread and pickled vegetables.

Sha Zhu started his days of delivering food.

Sha Zhu has shifted his target from his sister to the Jia family.

While eating Shazhu's food, Jia Zhang cursed Shazhu for being a good-for-nothing and thinking about the widow.

Although he was very angry about being scolded, when he saw Qin Huairu's delicate appearance, Sha Zhu continued to deliver food.

During this period, Zhang Weiguo would go to the countryside whenever he had nothing to do to see if he could collect anything.

Zhang Weiguo offered a price that was 10% higher than the market price, and the villagers were willing to sell their things to Zhang Weiguo.
