Chapter 161: Not wanting to be smashed to pieces

The people in the room all came to their senses at this moment.

Mother Ding was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed onto the floor.

Old Man Ding only felt as if his heart had stopped beating.

Qiao Jie rushed forward in a single bound and roared at Chen Ying, "Where is your rope? Where do you have rope in this house? Hurry up!"

Lu Qiaoge looked at Chen Ying and the Ding family, who had completely lost their composure; she really couldn't count on a single one of them.

"Qiao Jie, go get the bedsheet from their bedroom!"

Qiao Jie ran to the bedroom, tore the bedsheet off in one go, and rushed to the window, handing it to Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge was gripping the back of Ding Jianshe's collar with her right hand. After taking the bedsheet with her other hand, she threw it toward Ding Jianshe and shouted, "If you don't want to be smashed to pieces, and don't want to scare your eldest daughter into a mental illness, then hurry up and grab the bedsheet."

This was working hours, but since the school was on summer break and some people were on shift rotations, there were quite a few people coming and going downstairs.

Even though the weather was sweltering, everyone still had to go about their business and buy groceries.

There were also elderly people taking children to find a cool place to escape the heat.

The commotion on the seventh floor was quickly noticed by the people below.

Everyone looked upward and let out bursts of screams in unison.

"What is going on here?"

"Oh my god, isn't that Ding Jianshe? What happened to him?"

"Did he fall from upstairs?"

"He's such a grown man, how could he be so careless?"

"Oh, look quickly, is there a girl holding onto him?"

"My eyesight is bad, I can't see clearly."

"Isn't that Lu Qiaoge from the Street Office?"

"Oh, I know, the two cadres from the Street Office went to his house to mediate."

The discussion was nothing more than a fleeting moment.

Ding Jianshe's mind had gradually cleared.

The desire to live once again occupied his entire body and mind.

He grabbed the bedsheet Lu Qiaoge had thrown down with both hands, his eyes wide as he looked in terror at Lu Qiaoge, who was lying on the windowsill.

Then, a retired worker below shouted loudly, "What the hell are you all gawking at? Why don't you hurry home and get quilts and blankets to cushion the bottom? In case he falls, it can provide a buffer."

After saying this, he looked up and shouted, "Ding Jianshe, hold on, we are going to get quilts right now."

Just as Ding Jianshe grabbed the bedsheet, the buttons on his shirt couldn't hold the strain and popped off.

It was no longer of any use for Lu Qiaoge to pull on his shirt.

Lu Qiaoge let go with her right hand.

She grabbed the bedsheet with both hands.

People living nearby had already run down frantically, clutching quilts.

Very quickly, a thick layer was piled up.

Under the direction of the old worker, four people grabbed the four corners of a large blanket.

Seeing that Ding Jianshe had firmly grasped the bedsheet, Lu Qiaoge used her strength to pull him up.

She then dragged him into the room and threw him onto the floor.

Ding Jianshe, sprawled on the floor, perhaps due to tension or the suffocation from being choked earlier, kept coughing incessantly.

Lu Qiaoge lay on the windowsill and waved to the people below, "Thank you all, it's fine now, you can take the quilts back."

She then waved her hand to let Xiao Hui fly away quickly.

The people standing downstairs let out a long sigh of relief.

Ding Jianshe's home was silent, and everyone's face was deathly pale.

The only sound in the room was Ding Jianshe's incessant coughing.

Qiao Jie was truly extremely annoyed.

What kind of situation was this?

Who mediates like this?

It almost cost a life; if he had really jumped in front of her, could she have had peace of mind for the rest of her life?

Was this little matter worth it?

If you don't want to support them, then don't; how did it get to the point of jumping off a building?

Unfortunately, she didn't dare ask a single question now.

At this moment, Chen Ying's face was equally pale.

She had originally wanted to say something harsh, but looking at her disheveled husband, she gritted her teeth and swallowed the words she was about to say.

Mother Ding suddenly wailed and cried, then lunged over to hug Ding Jianshe, patting his back hard, "You unfilial dog, what are you doing? If you don't want us to move in, then don't; that's because we two old things were muddled and let you down, but how could you jump off a building? If something really happened to you, your father and I would truly not be able to go on living. Why didn't you think about your wife and children?"

Ding Jianshe let his mother beat him, keeping his head down without saying a word.

Lu Qiaoge felt a headache coming on.

If she were a man, what could she do in this situation?

If one wants to preserve one's reputation and keep the family from falling apart, then one can only cover it up.

Ding Jianshe was not a bad person; otherwise, he wouldn't have let Chen Ying treat her like this.

But then again, what did Chen Ying do wrong? Why should she bear what she shouldn't have to?

And why should she be disgusted by her unfaithful husband year after year?

And still have to remit money to that illegitimate child for twelve years as if it were nothing.

Just thinking about it was suffocating!

Chen Ying should be the one suffering the most here.

Lu Qiaoge scanned the people in the room, took out the notebook she had just thrown on the windowsill, and flipped to the page recording the property information.

"I have a solution; I wanted to say it just now. Do you want to hear it?"

Old Man Ding walked over quickly, wiped the tears from his face, and bowed deeply to Lu Qiaoge, "Comrade Lu, thank you, thank you so much, thank you for saving my son's life."

And for saving his life and his wife's life too!

Lu Qiaoge hurriedly dodged and waved her hand, "It's what I should do, it's what I should do."

Only then did the eldest Ding brother react, and he also hurriedly thanked Lu Qiaoge.

Lu Qiaoge gave him a cold look and didn't speak.

The eldest Ding brother lowered his head in shame and lingering fear.

If his younger brother had really died, wouldn't he have become a sinner?

Chen Ying said with a pale face, "Comrade Lu, thank you so much."

Lu Qiaoge waved her hand, "Don't be in such a hurry to say thank you; let's resolve this dispute first."

Old Mother Ding wiped away her tears and hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, okay, Comrade Lu, you speak, you speak."

Lu Qiaoge: "I have a bungalow of over thirty square meters here, which was among the first batch of houses to participate in housing reform. There is one unit currently vacant, and in principle, it is rented to families who have particular difficulties in living.

This is also public housing, with a monthly rent of one yuan. You don't meet the conditions in other aspects, but you do meet the age requirement.

And you can also touch upon the actual difficulties. It is located in the bungalow area north of District One. If you think it's feasible, I suggest that Grandpa Ding and Grandma Ding rent this house, and then the rent can be shared by your children. As for taking care of the elderly, the children can take turns."

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone in the room lit up instantly.

Come to think of it, it really was an excellent idea.

Old Man Ding and Mother Ding had the brightest eyes upon hearing this.

They could still move and take care of themselves, and they could still cook for themselves.

If there really was such a place, wouldn't it be a hundred times better than living in their son's house!

They had had enough of sleeping on the floor.

And Comrade Lu also said to let the children take turns taking care of them, and they would share the rent.

This was simply a pie falling from the sky!

The feelings of grief and panic stimulated by their son hadn't even had time to be soothed, and at this moment, Old Man Ding was both excited and apprehensive: "I agree, I agree. They don't need to pay the rent; I have a retirement pension, I can cover it myself. Only, does it need to be approved? Can I rent it?"

First of all, I am extremely grateful to the babies for the monthly votes, follow-up readings, and tips during the last few days of the month. At the moment the ranking stabilized, my heart was filled with endless gratitude toward the babies. May every baby who cast a monthly vote have their wishes come true! ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
