Ding bell~
The bicycle bell rang and Li Qinghe rode back to the compound.
He felt that it was about time, so he rode his bike back to the courtyard. After all, he had to have lunch and couldn't stay hanging around outside the whole time.
As soon as I entered the door, Lou Xiao'e had already put the food on the table.
"Qinghe, you're back. Just now, an old man came to borrow a bicycle and said he wanted to take Banggeng to the hospital. I don't know what's going on."
Li Qinghe chuckled, "I don't know the specific situation, I just know that half of Banggeng's front tooth was broken and he cried miserably. I don't know if this kid's teeth have been replaced. If they have, it would be terrible, because he won't be able to grow new teeth in this lifetime."
Lou Xiao'e said with a smile: "You are such a fool. No wonder you ran out in such a hurry just now. It turns out you didn't want to borrow the car. People's teeth are broken, and you don't have any sympathy at all."
"Hey, what you said is not right. Our house was robbed by that thief Bang Geng. Why should I help him?"
Lou Xiao'e paused while picking up the food. "Is this true? Was it done by Bang Geng? He is still so young..."
"Oh, he's still young?" Li Qinghe sneered, "This kid has been taught the wrong way by Jia Zhang a long time ago. How could he not have done a lot of sneaky things? Wasn't it him who stole Xu Damao's chicken last time? If Qin Huairu hadn't asked Sha Zhu to take the blame, would he have been able to get away so easily?"
Lou Xiao'e pondered and said, "Xu Damao told me about this, but for the sake of the old man, I'll help him if I can."
"Do you really think that this old man is a good person? You are just too naive. This old man is nice in other aspects, but as soon as he gets involved in the issue of elderly care, his butt immediately becomes crooked. This time my house was robbed, do you know why I didn't call the police?
"It was this old guy who gave me a thousand yuan to let me expose the truth. He knew it was Bang Geng who did it a long time ago. He wanted to protect Bang Geng so that he could tie Qin Huairu down and let her and He Yuzhu help Yi Zhonghai in his old age."
"One thousand dollars!?"
Lou Xiao'e was shocked.
Li Qinghe shrugged, leaving her looking at a loss.
Now Lou Xiao'e was a little confused.
In the yard, there is an old man who is highly respected and kind-hearted. If he is not a good person, are there any good people in the whole yard?
He originally thought that the deaf old lady was a good person, but she plotted against him. Now Li Qinghe told him that the old man was not a good person either...
Looking up at Li Qinghe who was chewing a steamed bun...
Well, this guy is not a good guy either. He is the worst one.
......
At the hospital, Yi Zhonghai took Banggeng to find a doctor.
"Doctor, please take a look. This child has a broken tooth. He is crying in pain and is still bleeding."
"Okay, I'll take a look."
A doctor was eating. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately put down his lunch box, sat down with his stick, and asked the two to wait outside.
Doctors of this era are so responsible. If it happened in later times, they would have to kick people out and ask them to come back after work. No matter how serious the injury is, it is not as important as their lunch break.
"Okay, go and pay the fee."
Soon, the doctor opened the door and handed over a list.
Jia Zhang looked at her nose with her eyes, and her heart with her nose, with her head lowered and not moving.
Yi Zhonghai gave her an unpleasant look, took the bill and went to pay.
He knew he would face this scene when he called, but now that it really happened, why did he feel so unhappy?
"What a good grandma." He came to the window and complained in his heart.
Seeing Yi Zhonghai leaving with the prescription, Jia Zhang finally became lively, walked into the clinic with her head held high, and said a few words of concern to Bang Geng, as if she was paying for the treatment.
Then he went outside and sat down on the bench.
After a while, Yi Zhonghai came back with the payment slip.
"It cost two dollars and four cents in total. I'll tell Qin Huairu this afternoon. You stay here with me. I'm going back."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai turned around and left. He knew that Jia Zhang had dragged him here just to pay the bill, so it didn't matter whether he accompanied her or not, so he didn't get too sentimental.
"Hey, uncle, you're leaving now, why don't you wait a little longer? Banggeng and I haven't had lunch yet, why don't you help us?"
Even though the money had already been paid, she became arrogant and wanted Yi Zhonghai to buy food for the two of them.
As for paying back the money? You must be dreaming. Do you think you can pay back the money just by telling Qin Huairu?
Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear. I paid for the medical expenses, and you still want me to pay for your meals? You are dreaming.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai ignored her, Jia Zhang muttered something. Although no one knew what she said, it was definitely not something good.
The family members who were bringing their families to see the doctor couldn't bear to watch it anymore. They heard clearly that the two were not a couple at all. The child with the broken tooth was the old woman's grandson, and the old man was just helping out of kindness.
Not only did they send the child to the hospital, they also paid for the medical expenses. As a grandmother, when you heard that you had to pay money, not only did you pretend to be dead, but you also wanted them to provide you with food. How can you be so shameless?
I helped you out of good intentions but in the end I received nothing good and you even scolded me.
"How can you be like this? You helped others but ended up causing their enmity." Someone who couldn't stand it scolded Jia Zhang.
"It's none of your business! Why do you care about what I do? You're showing off your ability."
Jia Zhang, who was extremely thick-skinned, would naturally not tolerate someone ruining the pot while eating. When she saw someone provoking her, she immediately spat out a mouthful of shit.
"Hey!~ How can you be so ungrateful, man..."
The people around him saw that Jia Zhang was a shrew and quickly pulled him back, "Okay, sit down quickly and ignore her."
"snort!"
The person who spoke snorted indignantly, and finally sat back, but turned his head to the side, not wanting to see Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang curled her lips in satisfaction. She had never been afraid of anyone when it came to quarreling. If it wasn't in the hospital, she would not have given up so easily.
......
In the compound, Li Qinghe stayed at home after dinner, bickering with Lou Xiaoe, taking advantage of her from time to time, and time passed quickly.
During this time, he also took out the essence of spring water in the space and let Lou Xiao'e drink it.
She didn't know how long she could stay in the imperial capital, and if she wanted to come back she had to wait until the storm was over. During this time, she had to drink as much spring water as possible.
Li Qinghe didn't want it to be like in the original novel, where Lou Xiao'e came back from Gangcheng and turned from a grown-up girl into a woman.
Until the evening, when it was getting dark, the yard became noisy as people returned from work.
Yi Zhonghai ran over to inform.
"Qinghe, there will be a meeting in the hospital tonight, don't forget it. By the way, you have to explain the matter then."
"Don't worry, I'll remember it. Besides, I'm a trustworthy person. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Seeing that Li Qinghe had understood what he meant, Yi Zhonghai smiled with satisfaction.
"That's good. We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. We can just talk it out."
"You're right. We are all neighbors. It's normal to have some conflicts. We don't have any deep hatred. It's better to live in harmony."
Facing the uncle on the list, Li Qinghe was very polite and continued speaking along with his words.
