Chapter 94
Qin Qin Huairu begged, "Please treat Bang Geng's leg first, I will definitely pay you back when I get my salary, Bang Geng's injury cannot be delayed."
Jia Jia Zhangshi snorted, "Hmph, your salary is not enough for food, how can you pay me back? I won't move the pension money, you figure out Bang Geng's medical expenses yourself."
Bang Geng lay on the hospital bed, staring at Jia Jia Zhangshi with resentful eyes.
Where is this his grandma!
She is simply a cold-blooded and ruthless bandit, even snatching his medical expenses for his leg!
A flash of cunning flashed in Jia Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes, "You go find the First Master, and let everyone in the compound help our family."
Qin Qin Huairu felt heartbroken for Bang Geng, and for the sake of money, she had to go home to find the First Master.
After Qin Qin Huairu's tearful complaint, the First Master's kindness suddenly broke out, and he enthusiastically organized to raise money for Bang Geng's leg treatment.
After coming out of the Rolling Mill, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle into a quiet and deserted alley.
After confirming that there was no one around, he entered the portable farm silently.
Going to his father-in-law's house tomorrow, he naturally couldn't go empty-handed.
He picked more than twenty red apples from the farm's orchard.
He took five catties of salted duck eggs from the jar.
He took two pieces of homemade cured meat from the drying rack.
After getting the gifts for his father-in-law, Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle home.
Just as he arrived at the gate of the compound, he met the Third Master.
The Third Master exclaimed with shining eyes, "Whoa! Cao Weiguo, you've moved the supply and marketing cooperative!"
Cao Cao Weiguo smiled, "I'm going to my father-in-law's tomorrow, can't go empty-handed, right."
The Third Master said enviously, "Your father-in-law is lucky to have such a good son-in-law."
"Cao Weiguo, there will be a full-compound meeting after dinner."
"You two don't be late."
The First Master shouted by the pool with his hands behind his back.
"Got it, we'll go over after eating."
After answering, Cao Cao Weiguo asked the Third Master, "Third Master, what's the matter? Having a full-compound meeting again."
The Third Master curled his lip with an ugly face, "Hmph, Bang Geng's leg was broken, and the First Master is organizing the neighbors in the compound to raise medical expenses for Bang Geng."
Cao Cao Weiguo said annoyedly, "Fine, we have to bleed again, what's the matter."
The Third Master said heartbrokenly, "That's right, my family's life is tight, and we have to donate money to outsiders every few days."
Sihe Academy
After dinner, Cao Cao Weiguo and his wife came to the middle compound.
More than half of the residents in the compound had already arrived.
Some were sitting, some were standing.
A square table was placed in the middle of the compound.
The First Master sat in the middle, the Second Master sat on the left, and the Third Master sat on the right.
Xu Xu Damao waved at Cao Cao Weiguo, "Cao Weiguo."
Cao Cao Weiguo walked over with his wife and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, how much are you planning to donate?"
Xu Xu Damao said, "Five mao, this is for the sake of Qin Qin Huairu, otherwise, for the sake of Bang Geng and Jia Jia Zhangshi, I wouldn't want to donate a cent."
Cao Cao Weiguo looked at his wife, "Let's donate five mao too."
Song Song Yulan nodded heartbrokenly, "That's it, sigh, five mao can buy more than a dozen eggs."
After everyone arrived, the First Master stood up and spoke:
"Everyone may have heard that Bang Geng in our compound broke his leg and is being treated in the hospital."
"Considering the Jia family's orphans and widows, and their difficult life, I discussed it with the other two masters and decided to hold such a meeting."
"I hope everyone can help the Jia family and help Bang Geng, this child."
The Third Master asked, "Qin Qin Huairu, Bang Geng's leg was broken by someone, didn't the person who hit him pay for medical expenses?"
Qin Qin Huairu said sadly, "They paid some, but it's not enough at all. It was spent in two days and there's only a few mao left."
The Third Master continued to ask, "Then can't you go and ask for more compensation?"
Qin Qin Huairu lied, "Those people refused to give any more, I really had no other way, so I had to ask everyone for help with a thick face."
The First Master said seriously, "Third Master, the matter is just like this. I know that everyone is not having an easy time, how much you can help depends on your heart."
Seeing the First Master come forward, the Third Master had no other way.
The Third Master smiled, "That's right, we are all neighbors, if we encounter difficulties, I will definitely help if I can."
The First Master looked around at the crowd, "Helping each other between neighbors is a traditional virtue. When one family is in trouble, everyone helps. I hope everyone can lend a helping hand to Bang Geng and help Bang Geng, this child, get through the difficulties together."
The Second Master stood up and said, "Mutual help among neighbors is a good deed. As the Second Master of our compound, I naturally want to set an example. I donate one Brother Yuan!"
"Good!"
"Second Master is righteous!"
"Second Master has set an example, then I donate three mao!"
"My family's conditions are limited, I can only donate one mao!"
"My family still owes debt, I can only squeeze out one mao!"
With the Second Master's example, other residents also donated one after another.
One by one, they took out money and walked out, putting it on the square table reluctantly.
The Third Master took out five mao from his pocket painfully, and put it on the table tremblingly.
Xu Xu Damao handed the five mao to Qin Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, this is my heart."
Qin Qin Huairu's pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with water mist, "Xu Damao, thank you."
Jia Jia Zhangshi curled her lip with disdain, "Xu Xu Damao, you have the nerve to say it's your heart with just five mao?"
This made Xu Xu Damao's face look ugly, and the nearby residents were equally angry.
Five mao is not a heart?
Then the one mao and three mao they donated were fed to dogs?
In this era, no family is rich, even a penny is squeezed out from their own teeth.
More or less, they all fulfilled the human feelings of being neighbors.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be fragrant to buy cornmeal and steam buns with this money?
"Cough!"
The First Master glared at Jia Jia Zhangshi, "Old sister-in-law, how are you talking? Five mao is not a small amount."
Jia Jia Zhangshi also realized something was wrong, and said hurriedly, "I just said it casually, Xu Damao, don't take it to heart."
Xu Xu Damao's face looked ugly and he didn't speak, looked at Qin Qin Huairu and turned to leave.
If it weren't for pleasing Qin Qin Huairu, he wouldn't want to donate a cent.
The Jia family, both old and young, are white-eyed wolves.
Cao Cao Weiguo put five mao on the table, and Jia Jia Zhangshi exploded on the spot.
Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted, "Cao Cao Weiguo, your family is so rich, the neighbor is in trouble, and you only donate five mao! You have the nerve!"
The First Master looked at Cao Cao Weiguo kindly, "Cao Weiguo, you are the most promising in the compound, with a high salary, if you have the ability, help Bang Geng more."
Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted, "That's right, you have such a high salary, can't you help the difficult neighbors, you can't be selfish and only care about your own enjoyment."
Cao Cao Weiguo was so angry that his face turned blue, and he took back the five mao directly.
"No matter how high my salary is, I earned it cent by cent!"
"What does it have to do with you!"
"No matter how much I donate, it's my heart!"
"Now, just because of your face, I don't want to donate a cent."
Jia Jia Zhangshi cursed with a ferocious face, "Cao Cao Weiguo, you selfish and cold-blooded beast! Bang Geng was beaten because of you! If it weren't for you, Bang Geng wouldn't have been caught, and wouldn't have had his leg broken!"
"I'm selfish?"
Cao Cao Weiguo said loudly, "Jia Jia Zhangshi, if you want to talk about being truly selfish, it's you, right?"
"You have Jia Jia Dongxu's pension in your hand, and the three Brother Yuan pension money Qin Qin Huairu gives you every month!"
"These money added together, there's eight hundred if not a thousand every month!"
