The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.
Bang Geng, who had just woken up, started howling again while clutching his stomach.
"It hurts, my stomach hurts!"
"It hurts so much!"
Qin Huairu, who was cooking, heard the noise and hurriedly came to the bedside, where she saw Bang Geng rolling around on the bed.
Judging from his pained expression, it seemed even worse than it had been in the afternoon.
"Bang Geng, are you alright?"
"It hurts so much! It hurts so much!!!"
Bang Geng was too preoccupied to answer Qin Huairu at this point; the pain in his stomach was making him extremely uncomfortable.
"There must be something wrong with the wedding banquet!"
Jia Dongxu was certain that the problem stemmed from the banquet.
Although I haven't heard of anyone else in the courtyard experiencing stomach aches, Banggeng's only meal today was a feast in the courtyard. There's no other possibility that he got sick from the feast.
Qin Huairu ignored Jia Dongxu. She checked Bang Geng's stomach, which was still round and bulging, as if it hadn't been digested.
It's obvious that the hamster ate too much and got an upset stomach.
"Dongxu, you stay home and watch the fire. I'm taking Banggeng to the hospital."
"Is it really necessary to go to the hospital?" Jia Dongxu clicked his tongue, thinking that Qin Huairu was making a mountain out of a molehill.
If you've eaten too much, just rest for a while. Once the food in your stomach is digested, the stomach pain will subside.
A trip to the hospital would cost at least one or two yuan, and the Jia family was currently short of money, so Jia Dongxu felt it was unnecessary to spend that money.
But Qin Huairu's attitude was very firm. Bang Geng was in so much pain that he was already crying. If he didn't go to the hospital soon, there might be serious problems.
So even though Jia Dongxu was unwilling, Qin Huairu still went out with the stick in her arms.
"Going to the hospital for such a trivial matter? Do you really think hospitals are some kind of glamorous place that doesn't cost money?"
Jia Dongxu muttered something before realizing that Qin Huairu hadn't asked him for money when she left.
Huh?
He had all the family's money in his hands; how could Qin Huairu dare to go to the hospital without money?
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu pushed his wheelchair and chased after them, but he didn't see Qin Huairu and Banggeng. They had obviously already left the courtyard.
Because there was a threshold at the entrance to the courtyard, Jia Dongxu couldn't get out by himself, so he simply stopped chasing after him and instead pushed his wheelchair to the backyard.
No matter what, Bang Geng ended up like this after attending a banquet, so shouldn't Chen Jun bear some responsibility?
It would be even better if I could extort some money from them.
"Chen Jun, come out here."
"You've ruined my child so badly, and now he's hiding at home, too afraid to come out?"
"If you don't pay some medical expenses today, I'm going to report you to the authorities."
Um?
Chen Jun, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard Jia Dongxu's voice and couldn't help but ask his mother a question.
"Mom, is the Jia family coming for the feast today?"
Wang Xia shook her head upon hearing this: "Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu didn't come, but their son did."
ah?
Chen Jun was taken aback.
The adults didn't come to the feast, but the children did. What kind of strange thing is this?
Could it be that they don't want to give a gift, but still want to take advantage of the situation?
"Did they give a gift?"
Wang Xia shook her head again: "I didn't see the Jia family's name on the gift list."
really!
Seeing this, Chen Jun handed the spatula to his mother and strode out.
Inside the courtyard, Jia Dongxu was still shouting, which drew out Liu Haizhong and others.
Seeing Chen Jun come out, Jia Dongxu slapped his thigh: "Chen Jun, tell me how to resolve this matter. My son had a stomachache from the banquet and has already gone to the hospital. If you have any conscience, take some money and go to the hospital to get him checked out."
"What are you looking at? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a factory manager!"
Jia Dongxu felt a little uneasy under Chen Jun's gaze, but things had come to this point. If he backed down, he would only be laughed at by the people in the courtyard, while being tough would earn him a reputation as a good father.
"Jia Dongxu, are you bored and looking for a beating?"
Chen Jun stared at Jia Dongxu and said irritably.
Today is his wedding day, how dare Jia Dongxu come to cause trouble?
You didn't even give a gift, yet you sent your son to the banquet. It's already quite generous of you not to ask you for money. How dare you try to extort money from me?
This is truly a reversal of the Heavenly Order!
"What do you mean? You want to hit me?"
Jia Dongxu unconsciously pushed his wheelchair back a little before continuing, "You got my son into the hospital, and now you want to beat me into the hospital too?"
"Don't try to bully people just because you're a cadre. I, Jia Dongxu, am not afraid of you!"
"Come here, come here!"
Seeing his arrogance, Chen Jun simply walked over to Jia Dongxu.
This scene terrified Jia Dongxu so much that he immediately steered his wheelchair backward, retreating all the way to Liu Haizhong's side.
Liu Haizhong would want to curse if he saw this.
Are you trying to take advantage of me again?
Do you really think I, the person in charge, am just sitting around doing nothing?
"Jia Dongxu, did you pay for the food your son ate at Chen Jun's wedding banquet?" Liu Haizhong stepped forward and stood opposite Jia Dongxu.
No matter what the situation, take sides first, lest you be taken advantage of by Jia Dongxu.
"They didn't give it to me!"
Jia Dongxu craned his neck and shouted.
Holy crap?
You're still acting so tough even though you haven't paid me?
Liu Haizhong was speechless: "What are you so tough about if you didn't get paid? It's good enough that Chen Jun didn't ask you for money. Go home and stay there. Don't make a scene in the yard, or you'll wake up Xu Damao, and he'll have to go see the old Chinese medicine doctor again."
Traditional Chinese medicine doctor?
Jia Dongxu trembled involuntarily upon hearing this word, and his voice unconsciously lowered considerably.
Since he pretended to be mentally ill last time, Xu Damao has developed a new hobby: calling on traditional Chinese medicine doctors to give him acupuncture.
As for that old Chinese medicine doctor, he's a half-baked doctor who refuses to charge a single penny, so Xu Damao now calls him "old Chinese medicine doctor" all the time.
Xu Damao loved being able to mess with Jia Dongxu without spending a penny.
"Why are you asking me for money? How much can a child eat?"
"Besides, my son has already been sent to the hospital, shouldn't Chen Jun go and check on him?"
"No, why should Chen Jun go to the hospital?" Liu Haizhong thought that Jia Dongxu might really have something wrong with his head, otherwise why would he be talking nonsense with his head hanging up?
Your son has been taken to the hospital, but you're coming to the backyard to extort money.
It all sounds abnormal.
"Bang Geng ate too much at his wedding banquet," Jia Dongxu said matter-of-factly.
ha?
Did you eat too much?
Liu Haizhong was speechless upon hearing this.
If you say you ate something wrong or have other problems, you can barely have a reason to come to Chen Jun.
But you ate too much and went to the hospital, what does that have to do with Chen Jun?
"Jia Dongxu, if you keep arguing like this, I'm going to hold a big meeting to criticize you." Liu Haizhong was too lazy to argue with Jia Dongxu anymore.
After all, arguing with a mentally ill person would be beneath his status as the head of the household.
"I'm not being unreasonable!"
Jia Dongxu refused to give up. Since he was already there, he figured he might as well extort some medical expenses from them.
“You’re not leaving, huh? Fine, then I’ll go wake Xu Damao up.”
Liu Haizhong didn't tolerate him and turned to go find Xu Damao.
