Chapter 298 Retribution



Auntie! Are you okay? Hurry, hurry to the hospital! "Two policemen lifted her up, put her in the back seat of Brother Daliang's car, and sent Auntie Mu away.

Jiang Xun carried Ye Li on his back and watched the excitement in the yard.

"Yuan Yueqin turned herself in?" Ye Li asked in surprise, "The charge is still attempted murder? Did I hear correctly, Jiang Xun?"

"You heard it right." Jiang Xun confirmed her.

"Why would Yuan Yueqin turn herself in? This is not her style..."

Jiang Xun figured it out quickly: "Nie Fan was most likely the one who did this! If he really did it, then he's quite capable! It seems like I have no choice but to treat him to a meal!"

"Nie Fan? How does he know where Yuan Yueqin is?"

"You have to ask him about this. You can ask him slowly when we meet in the future. You must be hungry. Let's go eat first!"

"good."

...

...

After breakfast, Jiang Xun went to work, leaving Ye Li alone at home.

It was cold, so a stove was lit in the house. Ye Li sat by the stove and roasted the sweet potatoes he brought from the countryside. Soon the house was filled with the sweet smell of sweet potatoes.

While she was eating, she listened to the noise in the yard.

At this moment, Grandpa Yuan was sitting in the yard crying and wiping his tears. The sound of his crying was so sad that the neighbors were alarmed by him and surrounded him to ask what was wrong.

Grandpa Yuan cried and replied, "My wife broke three ribs. She was so angry that she had a myocardial infarction early this morning. She is now in the hospital for emergency treatment! I came back to get the money, but found that it was all gone. I thought my wife must have given it all to Yueqin, but when I went to find Yueqin, I found that Yueqin's money had also been taken away by others! There is not a penny left in my family! Now my wife is waiting for help! Neighbors, please lend me some money!"

"Then what was your Yueqin doing that got stolen?"

Grandpa Yuan hesitated for a long time before he finally let go of his face, slapped his thigh and told the details: "My Yueqin is in prison! Ye Li was pushed into the middle of the road by her! She attempted murder... But she has repented, and she took the initiative to turn herself in!"

Aunt Jiang curled her lips and said, "You deserve it, don't you? Are there any people who harm others like you?"

"What deep hatred do you have that would force someone to death? I think your Yuan Yueqin deserves it!" Aunt Wang couldn't help but complain, "We are all neighbors living in the same courtyard. Jiang Xun and Ye Li didn't do anything to you. You really deserve what happened to you!"

"Yes, we are wrong, we are wrong. Please, neighbors, give me some money to save my wife's life!" Uncle Yuan didn't want anything else at this time. He just wanted to rescue Aunt Mu. As long as he could rescue her, everything would be fine.

Aunt Wang softened her heart when she saw how pitiful Uncle Yuan looked.

We are all neighbors. No matter how annoying someone is, there is no reason to just stand by and watch them die!

They all live in the same courtyard and have gone through all the ups and downs over the years. It's not easy for any family.

Aunt Wang called out, "Everyone, come out and put down your work! The Yuan family is in trouble. Let's see if anyone has money at home. If we can help, we can help. If we can gather some money, we can gather some money."

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

Everyone who heard it came out of the house and took out some money, five dollars for each and ten dollars for each.

Wang Sha heard it in the room, but she didn't come out. She kept staring at Ye Li's room, wanting to see if Ye Li would come out. If Ye Li didn't come out, she wouldn't come out either, because someone would be scolded with her anyway.

After waiting for half a day, she still didn't see Ye Li come out, so she lay down with peace of mind.

Uncle Yuan counted the money and felt that it was not enough, so all the families in the yard who could contribute donated money, except the Jiang family.

He hesitated again and again and wanted to knock on Ye Li's door.

At this time, Zhao Xingmei opened the door with a bang and shouted at Yuan Sihai: "What are you doing? What are you thinking? Your daughter Yuan Yueqin hurt someone, and your wife protected her. If it weren't for Ye Li's good luck, she would have died long ago! Now that your family is in trouble, you think of your neighbors? How can you be so shameless?"

This time, Uncle Yuan really realized his mistake and regretted it. Only at critical moments can we see the importance of these neighbors.

He turned around, not caring about his face anymore, and knelt down in front of Zhao Xingmei. "I'm sorry, Aunt Zhao! My family has done many things that have let you down over the years. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I only ask that you save my wife's life today! We will repay you with a thousand times a day."

Zhao Xingmei said, "Don't talk about repaying a favor. We won't forgive you for what you have done to our family! But we are neighbors in the same yard, and I can't just stand by and watch someone die."

As she spoke, she took out twenty yuan from her pocket and handed it to Yuan Sihai: "Don't go looking for Ye Li, this is the money our whole family has collected for you! Take it quickly and go to the hospital to pay for life-saving treatment!"

Yuan Sihai took the money and felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds in his hand.

He looked at the money and burst into tears: "Thank you, thank you! Thank you!"

Yuan Sihai left, and the others also dispersed. Aunt Jiang and Aunt Wang gathered around and said, "Old Zhao, you are so righteous! We really admire you!"

"As I said, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard. We have lived here for a lifetime. There is no reason not to help each other."

"I hope the Yuan family will get better this time."

Zhao Xingmei smiled and said, "Who knows?"

Ye Li listened to the whole story in the house and silently thanked her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law's help helped her out of the predicament.

If Uncle Yuan came to her to borrow money, she would be in a really difficult situation.

She felt unhappy to lend it to him - Yuan Yueqin was about to kill her, and she had to go back and save Aunt Mu. She couldn't do it, she didn't have such a great heart.

If I don't lend it, I'm afraid my neighbors will blame me.

I’m afraid the neighbors will say that life and death are not a big deal.

At this time, her mother-in-law stepped forward and solved a big problem for her, allowing her to continue roasting sweet potatoes in the house peacefully without having to suffer the torture of her conscience.

Ye Li roasted sweet potatoes at home, while Jiang Xun roasted sweet potatoes in the office.

This sweet potato has yellow flesh. When it is roasted on the fire, it becomes steaming hot, crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, filling the house with a sweet aroma.

A group of people in the office gathered around the fire during their break, eating the sweet potatoes that Jiang Xun brought, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.

"Wow, this room smells so good, what are you eating?" Director Wang smelled this pleasant smell as soon as he entered the room, "Roasted sweet potatoes! Great, you guys, roast sweet potatoes during work hours!"

"Director, give me one!" Jiang Xun stood up, picked up a perfectly roasted sweet potato and handed it over. At this moment, he noticed that there was a young man following behind Director Wang.

Director Wang took the sweet potato and said to everyone, "Come on, let me introduce you to a new colleague! He is our new colleague in our department - Meng Guanglei! He used to be in the army, but now he has retired. He learned mechanical knowledge in the army and now works in our department. So he can be considered Jiang Xun's comrade-in-arms, right?"

After a brief introduction, he turned around and said to Meng Guanglei, "Come on, Xiao Meng, say hello to everyone."
