Chapter 1128 I don't have any money either.
"Could it be...?"
Yan Bugui stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.
He felt that the Jia family was having a very hard time these days. There was no man to support them, and their unreliable mother-in-law had been arrested and imprisoned.
Given that Qin Huairu is heavily pregnant and has a troublesome son, it seems reasonable for her to seek a powerful backer.
Xu Damao is a complete lecher; if Qin Huairu gives him any benefits, he'll happily fawn over her.
The fact that he is now willingly sending Qin Huairu to the yamen suggests that the two have probably reached some kind of agreement.
It was just too embarrassing for Xu Damao and Qin Huairu to do, and Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
"Oh dear, could they be having an affair?" The third aunt didn't think too much about it and blurted out what she was thinking.
Yan Bugui sighed and waved his hand: "These days, it's good enough if you can take care of your own little family. Don't bother with their messy affairs."
Although Yan Bugui was also the steward of the courtyard, he wasn't that keen on power. He liked to scheme and scheme for good things, so even if Qin Huairu and Xu Damao were having an affair, Yan Bugui wouldn't bother to interfere unless he caught them in the act.
After all, this kind of thing is thankless and may even attract the jealousy of others.
Not worth it!
On the other side, Qin Huairu, who had rushed to the yamen, waited for quite a while before she finally had the chance to meet Jia Zhangshi.
"Qin Huairu, why did it take you so long to come find me!"
Upon meeting, Madam Jia immediately began to scold her: "You heartless wretch, do you know how I've been these past two days...?"
After scolding Jia Zhangshi, he began to pour out his grievances.
He rattled off a long string of words, and then instructed Qin Huairu to find a way to bail him out.
"Go and beg Chen Jun to write me a letter of understanding. With a letter of understanding, I shouldn't have to go to the labor camp. As long as I don't go to the labor camp, I can stay here a little longer."
Jia Zhangshi's arrangements were quite good. In the end, she had only committed theft, which was not a serious crime. With a letter of forgiveness, she could probably be released after ten days to half a month.
But if they were sent to a farm for labor reform, there would be no hope for the future.
She has to go through the days of being bullied all over again.
But Qin Huairu shook her head immediately upon hearing this: "Mom, what time is it to write a letter of forgiveness? It's too cliché, we'll get scolded."
"What do you mean, Qin Huairu, you're not going to care about me anymore?"
Madam Jia was taken aback, not expecting Qin Huairu to actually want to give up on her.
But if I go to the farm for labor reform, who will help Qin Huairu earn money, and who will help Qin Huairu take care of her children?
"How can we manage this? You stole so much money from Chen Jun, it's impossible to get him to write a letter of forgiveness. Besides, our family doesn't have any money, so why should Chen Jun write a letter of forgiveness for us?"
Qin Huairu wanted Jia Zhangshi to face reality.
A letter of understanding would be useful, but getting it from Chen Jun would come at too high a price.
Without three to five hundred yuan, there's definitely no chance.
Besides, the family didn't have that much money to bribe Chen Jun, and even if they did, Qin Huairu wouldn't spend it on Jia Zhangshi.
Just like when Jia Zhangshi first went to the farm for labor reform, Jia Dongxu felt that it wasn't worth it to ask Xu Damao to buy a letter of understanding, which is why he made Jia Zhangshi labor reform for so long.
If Jia Dongxu couldn't bear to part with it, Qin Huairu would be even more reluctant.
"I'll say it one last time, I didn't steal his money, I didn't steal it, I only ate a few meat buns from him!" Madam Jia got angry as soon as she mentioned it.
At first, she thought Qin Huairu had conspired with the older women in the courtyard to set her up, but after careful consideration, she realized that Qin Huairu had no reason to do such a thing.
So it's highly likely that someone slipped 500 yuan into a cabinet at home.
And this person is most likely Chen Jun!
Framed! Framed!
These past two days, Jia Zhangshi has been cursing Chen Jun quite a bit in the cell, feeling that all she did was steal a piece of calligraphy from Chen Jun, yet Chen Jun actually wants to make her squat in the fence.
That's outrageous!
"Does it matter whether you stole it or not? You're already in jail!" Qin Huairu felt that Jia Zhangshi was still being stubborn.
At this point, making excuses is pointless.
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi still wanted to argue, Qin Huairu quickly raised her hand to interrupt her.
"I'm not here to rescue you, but to rescue Banggeng."
A "saving stick" joke?
Madam Jia's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Chen Jun brought the sticks in too? No, how could someone so young be here? Did Chen Jun pull some strings?"
"No, Banggeng was playing with fire in the yard yesterday and accidentally burned himself. The burns are around the turtle bite wound. The new wound has aggravated the old one, and he is now in the hospital."
"The medical expenses will cost more than twenty yuan, but I only managed to borrow five yuan from the whole yard. Mom, how much do you have left?" Qin Huairu asked directly.
There was no point in chatting with Jia Zhangshi; it would only be a waste of time. Qin Huairu just wanted to get the money and leave as soon as possible. She was a little worried about Bang Geng being alone in the hospital.
"What? My precious grandson is suffering again?"
Jia Zhangshi was immediately shocked.
The injury is in the same spot as last time, and if it's not treated properly, it could lead to serious problems.
"Mom, don't worry about things outside, just give me the money you have!" Qin Huairu urged.
But Jia Zhangshi shook her head sadly: "I only have a little over two yuan here, and I don't have it on me. You can go to the police station to ask for it later."
“My poor grandson, how could he be so unlucky? If anything happens to him, I will have no face to see Lao Jia and Dongxu.”
Only two and a half dollars??
Qin Huairu slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction: "Mom, even at a time like this you're still hiding things. The money from selling the workstations and the money from the manure truck are all in your hands, how could you only have a little over two yuan?"
“I really only have a little over two yuan left!” Jia Zhangshi explained, “Last time Banggeng was hospitalized, we spent all our money. These two yuan are what I saved up.”
"Think of a way to get the rest of the money. You have to cure my precious grandson. If he suffers any aftereffects, I'll skin you alive when I get out of here. Hey, hey, hey, Qin Huairu, what are you doing?"
Jia Zhangshi was still threatening Qin Huairu, but before she could finish speaking, Qin Huairu had already gotten up and left.
Qin Huairu was too lazy to listen to her ramblings since she had no money.
The most important thing now is to raise the remaining medical expenses.
Where can I find the money?
Apart from Xu Damao, that lecherous scoundrel, there's probably no one else in the compound willing to help her.
Even if you have the money, you still have to pay it back after borrowing it.
Why not just squeeze a big chunk out of Xu Damao?
Qin Huairu narrowed her eyes, then scratched her head hesitantly.
Qin Huairu would not agree to give the house to Xu Damao; if word got out, she would never be able to live in the courtyard house again.
Since that's the case, let's trick Xu Damao!
Since the relationship between the two families is already bad, they don't care if it gets worse.
