"Okay, I don't care anymore. Ask his parents to pay back the money he owes. Also, my temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like Zhao Jiabao. I will take back his things tomorrow and tell him to get out of here." Zhao Yishan left angrily after saying this, fearing that someone would ask him for money again.
Jiang Shushu ignored the quarrel between Li Taohua and her son. Seeing that Yang Xiaobei didn't answer her, she turned around and asked again, "Are you hurt? If you are, ask them for compensation. People like this need to be taught a lesson."
"I'm fine. I was wearing thick clothes and my skin wasn't even scratched."
"It's okay as long as everything is fine. If something happens, if you don't ask them for compensation now, you won't have the chance later."
Seeing Zhao Yishan walked several meters away, Jiang Shushu hurriedly shouted: "Comrade Zhao, don't forget to give me the money tomorrow, otherwise I will take the IOU and ask the public security comrades to go to your house together." I don't care if you are angry with your mother, but no matter how angry you are, you must remember to pay me back.
When Zhao Yishan heard Jiang Shushu's words, his face froze, and then his whole face twisted. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and held it back. Then he went home without saying anything.
Jiang Shushu took a look at the bicycle that had belonged to someone else for eight years and was in good condition, almost new. However, after being in his hands for just over a year, it was already broken in various ways. This time it was even worse, almost breaking into two.
Oh, what a pity! This bicycle has been suffering with me all the time.
"Aunt Li, this bicycle belongs to yours. You can push it back yourself." After saying this, Jiang Shushu asked Yang Xiaobei to leave.
"Thank you for your trouble today. Go back and rest. You are wearing a police uniform. If you don't leave now, Li Taohua will probably ask you to move tree branches."
"Your hands are all bruised. Are you injured so seriously? Should I accompany you to the hospital? Jiang Shushu, thank you. If you hadn't used your arm to protect my head when you fell just now, your hands wouldn't have been hit so badly." If it weren't for her slow reaction, according to Jiang Shushu's reaction, she would definitely not have been injured.
"It's okay. I just have fair skin, so it looks serious. Actually, there's no big problem. With my skills, how could I get seriously injured? I'll be fine in two days. No need to go to the hospital." Jiang Shushu shook his arms to prove that he was fine.
"Do you have any medicine at home? If you don't want to go to the hospital, applying some medicine will be fine."
"It's just a minor injury, so you don't need to apply medicine. It's late now, so go back. You have to go to work tomorrow."
Jiang Shushu said this, which means she didn't have any medicine.
"I have medicine, specially used by the police, specifically for treating bruises and injuries, and it's very effective. I'll go back and get it, and you can apply some on it when the time comes, so that your bruises will go away faster. Don't refuse, if you hadn't saved me, I would have had a headache. Although your injury is not serious, it's not good to have bruises on your hands and feet. It's better to get well sooner than later. It will only take about half an hour, very quickly. You go home and rest first, and then come out to get the medicine in half an hour." After Yang Xiaobei finished speaking, he turned around and ran.
Li Taohua looked at the bicycle that was pinned under the tree by a big branch and knew she couldn't get it out. She quickly looked at the neighbors around her, but before she could say anything, they all found excuses to leave in tacit understanding and ignored Li Taohua.
Li Taohua looked at the bicycle and then looked in the direction Zhao Yishan was heading home.
The bicycle should be fine here. After all, there is such a heavy tree branch pressing on it. I should go home and comfort Yishan first. What if Yishan really doesn't care about me and Jiabao? The city is so good, I don't want to go back to the countryside.
Li Taohua pulled Zhao Jiabao back and said to him, "Jiabao, you've gotten into big trouble this time. Go back and apologize to your second uncle, or even your milk won't be able to protect you. If you still want to stay in the city and have good food, drink, and go to school, you can't offend your second uncle. Do you understand?"
Zhao Jiabao curled his lips and replied nonchalantly. "I see." "Isn't it just a little money I spent? What's the big deal? I'll pay him back when I get rich."
…
Half an hour later, Jiang Shushu came to the entrance of the alley carrying half a pound of dried meat. After waiting for two minutes, she saw Yang Xiaobei running towards her.
Yang Xiaobei stopped in front of Jiang Shushu. It was a very cold day, but his forehead was sweating and he was breathing heavily, which showed that he definitely hadn't stopped in the past half hour.
Yang Xiaobei didn't say anything, but handed the bag of medicine to Jiang Shushu.
"Thank you," Jiang Shushu took the bag and felt it was quite heavy. He reached out and touched it, and found several bottles. "Why are there so many medicines?"
Yang Xiaobei tried his best to control his breathing so that his voice would sound clearer.
"You're welcome. It's my duty. It's not much, just three small bottles. They contain iodine, hemostatic powder, and bruise medicine. They're all things you can use. They're commonly used. If you can't use them this time, you might need them later. Go back later and pour some of the bruise medicine on the bruise and massage it for ten minutes. It's very effective in dispersing blood stasis."
"Thank you, that's very thoughtful of you. Here's some pork jerky I made. I brought some for you to try."
Yang Xiaobei didn't feel awkward at all and took the pork jerky very graciously. "Your cooking skills are beyond words. This pork jerky is absolutely delicious. Thanks to you, I'm having another treat." Did Yang Xiaobei put the pork jerky to his nose and smell it? "It smells so good! Just based on this aroma, the pork jerky is absolutely delicious."
"As long as you like it, if you think there's anything that needs improvement, come and find me. After all, this is my first time making pork jerky."
…
When Jiang Shushu returned, he saw Zhao Yishan walking out.
What was Zhao Yishan doing out at this time? Jiang Shushu could figure it out with his toes. Although the bicycle was smashed to pieces, it was still a bicycle after all. It would be worth 10 or 8 yuan if it was sold.
"Comrade Jiang, I'm so sorry. That bicycle might be repairable. How about you take it back and have it fixed? Can you charge a lower price?"
"Comrade Zhao, are you so used to telling lies that you don't even think twice about what you say? That bicycle is almost broken in two. Even the junk collected at the scrap yard isn't as deformed as this one. And you tell me it can be repaired? Then why don't you try to fix it for me? I don't have the ability to do it anyway. If you have the ability, then go ahead and fix it. You're a worker after all. You've even written an IOU. Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
Zhao Yishan smiled awkwardly, "Aren't I discussing this with you?"
"I want the compensation I deserve. What else is there to discuss? You should go back and discuss it with your mother and your nephew's family. I don't care how you settle the money internally. I only care about whether my losses can be compensated. Don't tell me that you have a hard time. Your hardship is not caused by me, so don't tell me. Besides, are you the only one who has a hard time? It's not easy for me either. Our family saved money, and I worked hard to buy a second-hand bicycle. As a result, because of your child's prank, my bicycle is gone. I don't know what will happen next. Will I be able to buy another one?"
