Li Qinghe nodded and continued to ask: "Have you finished your painkillers at home?"
Qin Huairu didn't know why Li Qinghe asked this, but she nodded and said, "Yes, I finished eating it last night, and my mother-in-law asked me to buy it for her with my salary today."
"That's easy. You may not know that this painkiller is addictive. It's okay to take it occasionally, but if you take it every day, it's terrible. Once you're addicted, it's almost like smoking opium. If you can't take it, you'll feel uncomfortable all over, have a bad temper, and even beat people. It's a light punishment. Hasn't Jia Zhang beaten Qin Huairu before?" Li Qinghe deliberately exaggerated some of the effects, but strictly speaking, he was not lying.
These words made everyone fall into deep thought and began to recall.
Not long after, they all shook their heads to indicate that they had never fought.
Li Qinghe clapped his hands and said, "That's right. They didn't fight before, but today they fought as soon as they stopped taking the medicine. Doesn't that explain the problem? Even if it was because of a quarrel, we have quarreled before, but we have never fought."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and their faces turned gloomy. This analysis was very reasonable. Maybe Jia Zhang was really addicted to painkillers.
Li Qinghe continued, "And think about it, everyone. Qin Huairu's monthly salary was only 27.5 yuan. This time it was reduced by nearly one-fifth. What a huge blow it must have been. There were five people in her family. Before the money was given, each person had an average of 5.5 yuan, which was enough for a month's living expenses. But after the money was given, each person only had 4.1 yuan left, which is already below the poverty line. It's not enough to eat, let alone buy some daily necessities."
Bang!
Liu Haizhong suddenly slammed the table and said in sudden realization, "I was wondering! Why does Qin Huairu always complain about not having enough food to eat? The root of the problem is this. Jia Zhang must treat her. She has become addicted to painkillers. This is too much!"
Yan Bugui also echoed, "That's right, what do you mean you need three dollars for pension? The family didn't have enough to eat in the first place, and now it's even worse. This Jia Zhang is really something, she is killing her own family!"
"That's right."
The others also nodded. The deaf old lady sat there motionless without any expression. To her, it didn't matter whether Jia Zhang was driven away or not.
Yi Zhonghai also agreed that Jia Zhang was indeed selfish.
But he didn't find it strange. She was selfish in more than just this matter and he was used to it.
