Yang Xiaobei followed Wang Bei to the hospital and came to Jiang He's ward.
Wang Bei: "Hello everyone, the result of Bai Yao's case is out, and I came to inform you."
"Comrade Bai Yao's ideology was not correct. Not only did she cause injuries to the general public, but she also caused loss of public property. The circumstances were so serious that she should have been sent to a farm for reform. However, Comrade Bai Yao bravely took responsibility, actively compensated, admitted her mistakes, and was willing to go to the most difficult and tiring part of the country, the Northwest, to build the country. After negotiation, considering that this was Comrade Bai Yao's first offense and her young age, she was given leniency and transferred to the Northwest as an educated youth to build the country, as punishment."
When Jiang He and the other two heard that Bai Yao was going to the difficult Northwest to build the country, they did not say anything against it. In their opinion, it was already a severe punishment for a little girl to go to such a difficult place.
Wang Bei took out three red envelopes, each one bigger than the last, with a name written on each.
Wang Bei: "Uncle, Madam, I've consulted the doctor, and the compensation is determined based on the extent of your injuries and the time it will take to recover. After deducting the expenses of the past few days and today and tomorrow, we will compensate you with an additional amount: 400 yuan for Jiang He, 50 yuan for Jiang Mu, and 10 yuan for Xu Hehua. These expenses are all reasonable. You can sign and take the money now, or you can wait until you are discharged from the hospital and have your family accompany you to the Public Security Bureau to collect it."
Jiang He did not respond, but looked at Yang Xiaobei with a questioning look in his eyes: Is this amount reasonable?
Yang Xiaobei nodded slightly to indicate that it was reasonable.
Jiang He: "Comrade Public Security, my wife and I will take care of it now." Jiang He said and looked at Jiang Lao Ba, "Eighth Brother, what do you think?"
"I want to collect it now too." It's only 50 yuan, why should I go to the police station if I can collect it now?
Wang Bei gave three red envelopes to the three people respectively.
Jiang He handed the red envelope to Xu Hehua, "Old woman, please count it."
Because they were all brand new reunions, Xu Hehua and Jiang Laoba counted very quickly, and both said that the number was fine.
Wang Bei: "The fees are only payable until tomorrow. If you want to continue to stay in the hospital, you will have to pay for it yourself. Then you should rest well. I still need to go to Zhang Xinyi's ward."
Jiang He called Yang Xiaobei and said, "Xiaobei, I want to ask you something. Is it convenient for you?"
After all, it was working hours now, so Yang Xiaobei looked at Wang Bei and asked for his opinion.
Wang Bei saw that most of the money had been given away, and he only had 80 yuan left. He thought it would be enough to take one person with him. He said, "Xiaobei, you stay here. Laifu, come with me."
Yang Xiaobei: "Grandpa Jiang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Jiang He did not say that he already knew that Yang Xiaobei and Jiang Shushu were dating. Instead, he acted as if nothing had happened, just like before.
"It's nothing, I just want you to help keep my red envelope. The hospital is bustling with people, and it's not safe for us old people to handle large sums of money. When you come to dinner tonight, give it to Shushu."
Jiang He didn't wait for Yang Xiaobei to speak, and turned to Xu Hehua and said, "Old woman, do we need to stay in the hospital for a few more days? Take 50 yuan from me and keep it as a backup, and let Xiaobei hold the remaining 350 yuan."
"Okay." Xu Hehua did as she was told.
Xu Hehua handed the red envelope to Yang Xiaobei and said with a smile, "Xiaobei, thank you for keeping it for us."
Yang Xiaobei thought about it and took it. "Okay, I'll bring it over tonight and give it to Shushu."
Jiang He looked at Yang Xiaobei who was walking away: Xiaobei, don't let me down.
At the Huaxing Brigade, Lin Dayi saw Lin Dagui sitting at his desk without moving. "Dagui, why are you still here? Aren't you going to look for Jiang Mingwen?"
"Let's go later, there's no rush. Why go so early? Getting scolded is not a good thing. It's better to do it later than earlier." There is a difference between being scolded less and being scolded more.
"He'll understand."
Lin Dagui: "I believe your nonsense. Zhang Xinyi is not an educated youth from Hualing Brigade. She has nothing to do with Jiang Mingwen. How can he understand? I can't tell him that I, the captain of Huaxing Brigade, am afraid of Zhang Xinyi, a small educated youth. In order to get rid of this troublemaker, I agreed to let Yang Aijun not pursue the matter of Bai Yao. Tell me, if I say that, where will my face go? I have no shame!
Lin Dayi rolled his eyes. "What shame do you have at a time like this? You should cry when you should cry, and speak when you should speak. Jiang Mingwen is a man who holds grudges. If you insist on saving face this time, you will be embarrassed in the future."
Lin Dagui: "..." You said it lightly. I am the one who got scolded and embarrassed. You are talking without any pain.
Even though Lin Dagui had a thousand words to say, he knew that what Lin Dayi said was right. Lin Dagui took the gift and walked out of the Huaxing Brigade with his head held high. He walked into the Hualing Brigade with a guilty look on his face. After being scolded, he walked out of the Hualing Brigade dejectedly and returned to the Huaxing Brigade with a calm face.
Zhang Xinyi took the 80-yuan red envelope and calculated in her mind that she should spend it frugally until she recovered. At least half of the money would be saved. Zhang Xinyi finally felt a little comforted.
Zhang Xinyi knew that Lin Dayi suspected him, but Zhang Xinyi also knew that Liu Dayi had no evidence. Zhang Xinyi could not think of a good way to dispel Lin Dayi's suspicion, so she decided to pretend to the end and use her injury to gain sympathy.
Zhang Xinyi didn't know that Lin Dagui and Lin Dayi had used a trick to cut off the source of her trouble. As soon as Zhang Xinyi's injury healed, they would immediately transfer her to a remote mountain village so that they could out of her sight and out of her mind.
As soon as Yang Xiaobei got off work, he went back to the dormitory, took a shower, changed his clothes, then returned to the hospital with the red envelope and gave it to Jiang He.
"Grandpa Jiang...here's your red envelope. Take a look at it. When Shushu comes, you can give it to him later." Yang Xiaobei didn't want to call Jiang Grandpa anymore, as it would seem that there was a generation difference between them. However, he and Jiang Shushu had not officially announced their relationship yet. He had called him that before, so it would not be nice to say it suddenly now.
"No need to look, thank you Xiaobei for your help."
When Jiang Shushu came in with the food, the four of them were chatting happily.
Jiang He took the initiative to talk about Bai Yao and the compensation.
Although Jiang Shushu was not very satisfied with Bai Yao's handling of the matter, she knew that this kind of thing was not something she, a small waitress, could change. The money had been compensated and the person was leaving, so this was the only way.
"Then let this matter be over!"
"I paid an extra four days' hospital bill today and left some for backup. Here is 350 yuan. You keep it. It's not safe here. Luckily Xiaobei helped me keep it today, otherwise we wouldn't dare to take a nap at noon." Jiang He handed the red envelope Yang Xiaobei gave him to Jiang Shushu intact.
Jiang He knew that Jiang Shushu had the habit of counting money. Even if he didn't count it now, he would count it after returning home. If the amount of money in the red envelope was not right, he would definitely ask. Once he asked, he would know where the problem was. If the amount of the red envelope was correct, it would further prove that Yang Xiaobei was a good person. Jiang He wanted to further see Yang Xiaobei's character through the red envelope.
