He saw that Yi Zhonghai did not speak.
Qin Huairu blinked twice, and then tears slid smoothly down her face as she looked at Yi Zhonghai pitifully and said, "Uncle, you can't just stand by and watch me die!"
“Jia Zhangshi, how come your family has no money?” Yi Zhonghai frowned immediately when he saw something was wrong. “When Old Jia passed away, didn’t the factory give a large sum of compensation? And Dongxu has been working for nine years. I heard that he was given five yuan a month for retirement when he started working? You haven’t saved five hundred yuan in nine years.”
Slightly embarrassed, Jia Zhangshi said, "Old Jia's pension is almost gone, and I have to spend several yuan every month on painkillers. How can I possibly save any money?"
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't believe it at all.
He shook his head and said, "Mrs. Jia, we agreed before we came that I would help Dongxu after he returned to the security department so that he wouldn't be punished too severely! But now you want me to contribute both effort and money? Do you think that's appropriate?"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and said, "I think Lin Yang is right. If you, as the mother, don't care, why should I, as the master, care so much? I think we should just leave it at that!"
"No, no, no!" Madam Jia immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "Uncle, I have money, I have money!"
After saying that, she looked at Lin Yang and said, "Yangzi, are you sure five hundred yuan will be enough to get him out of trouble?"
"Of course!" Lin Yang nodded slightly and said, "If you bring five hundred yuan tonight, I can bring Dongxu back to the security department from the police station first thing tomorrow morning."
"Fine!" Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you the money! I'll go get it right now!"
"Wait, once this matter is over, I won't admit to anything. If any of you spread this around, Dongxu might be investigated again!" To prevent them from spreading rumors, Lin Yang added another layer of caution, reminding the group.
"Don't worry! Your uncle is still sensible enough!" Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, and Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly.
After the matter was settled, Yi Zhonghai did not linger any longer, while Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi went home to get the money.
After the three closed the door, Lin Yang washed his hands and put the rolled-out noodles into hot water.
Looking at the noodles, which were a bit bland and watery, I casually scooped up some lard and threw it into the pot.
Just as I was about to sit down and rest, a strange noise came from the bedroom.
