Chapter 126 Who pays?
In the evening, a meeting was held in the front yard of the courtyard.
Where to hold the meeting depends entirely on the number of people. For example, if everyone comes out like today, the meeting will basically be held in the front yard.
The deaf old lady was also carried out by Sha Zhu. This old lady was really pretentious. Her legs and feet were very good, but she just refused to walk. She was probably pretending to be so, or she was testing her obedience to Sha Zhu.
Wang Xiaohu looked at the time and it was half past six, which was still plenty of time as scheduled.
He was not optimistic about this kind of deal from the beginning, so he discussed it with Section Chief Zhu and approved ten people who had already sneaked into the Pigeon City early, and then he would catch them all in one fell swoop!
"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss how to deal with the issue of Jia Zhang. Everyone can speak freely." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai took a sip of hot water and placed the teacup heavily on the square table with a bang. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"This matter is not a small matter. I think she should be severely punished and must not be tolerated." Liu Haizhong said this, and then stopped talking. He actually thought about it for a long time, but just forgot it. Moreover, he saw that Jia Zhang's claws were ready, and he was afraid that he would be disfigured again.
"It's time to discuss it." Yan Bugui answered casually. There was no food on the table and no benefits to be gained, so he had no interest in holding a meeting.
Wang Xiaohu originally thought that the conference would start with a request for everyone to donate money, but he did not expect that the issue of the Jia Zhang family would be discussed first.
"Mrs. Jia Zhang actually dared to sell the child. Although she is her granddaughter, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly. There will be more children in our courtyard in the future. This is too dangerous and makes people worry. For example, I, Xu Damao, am about to get married, and maybe I will have a child next year."
Xu Damao recently found a miracle doctor. After taking the medicine, he felt much better. After another check-up, he was told that he was recovering well.
It's just that it's difficult to get pregnant, but Xu Damao thinks this is for others. He is so strong that he can succeed no matter how difficult it is!
After saying that, he looked at Sha Zhu angrily. He had been going to the countryside to show movies these days and had no time to teach Sha Zhu a lesson. He would go back and find someone to beat him up to vent his anger.
Sha Zhu was very sensitive to Xu Damao's gaze and immediately scolded him, "What are you looking at, Xu Damao, what bad ideas are you thinking of again? I warn you that if you have any tricks, do it openly. If you do it secretly, you are not a man."
"Tsk, I'm too lazy to talk to a bachelor." Xu Damao secretly swore that Sha Zhu would never think of finding a wife.
"I think what Xu Damao said makes some sense. What do you think, Third Uncle?" Liu Haizhong also hated Jia Zhangshi. It would be best if she could be driven out of the courtyard.
Yan Bugui was stunned. Why were they asking him again? He didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. The older people in the courtyard all knew that there was an affair between Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai. Although there was no evidence, it had been passed around in the ears of the older generation for so many years, so it couldn't be groundless.
Old Jia has been dead for so many years, but the reason why Jia Zhangshi is still plump and white is because of the half-open door. Such rumors have been less common in recent years. Maybe the two of them are too old to understand it.
Anyway, if Yan Bugui wasn't stingy and had no money, he would also want to~
"As for this matter, I think it depends on what Qin Huairu says." Yan Bugui said, shaking his head.
Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Shazhu not far away, then looked at Banggeng and Xiaodang on both sides, and finally looked at Wang Xiaohu, hoping to get some accurate information.
Wang Xiaohu sighed: "We are all neighbors, and this is your family affair. As long as you don't pursue it, I have no objection."
As for Jia Zhang's behavior, it would have been better to just send her to eat peanuts as Wang Xiaohu suggested. But it's just a thought. There are many people who abandon baby girls, whether in the city or in the village, especially in this famine year. If you really want to catch people, you can never catch them all.
According to Section Chief Zhu, as long as there are no victims, there is no case. Just do your job peacefully. You cannot save the world.
"As long as my mother-in-law pays one thousand yuan, I can give up pursuing the matter." When Qin Huairu said this, her fingernails dug into the flesh, and she could say it word by word.
After hearing what she said, Wang Xiaohu knew why Jia Zhang had to be tried first at the meeting. This was to ask for money.
One thousand yuan is not a small sum of money, and no one is willing to take it, so it can only be taken from Jia Zhang.
"One thousand yuan? You're dreaming. I have no money, not a penny." Jia Zhang felt that someone was counting on her money. She had exactly one thousand yuan in savings, and she had saved two hundred yuan over the years. Together with the two hundred yuan from selling locust flowers and Jia Dongxu's pension, it was exactly one thousand, not a penny more.
But this money is her retirement fund, and she is afraid that Qin Huairu will remarry, so she doesn't want to touch a penny of it.
"Then send her back to the countryside." Qin Huairu said without further ado, "You don't have to scare me. I am Jia Dongxu's wife. I am the first in line to take over his position, not you. His pension should also be given to me, not you! If you disagree, I have the power to drive you away. At worst, I can remarry."
It was obvious that someone had taught her these words. Qin Huairu was very calm when she said them, and her words were logical and clear.
Wang Xiaohu even saw Yi Zhonghai nod slightly, and everyone else in the yard also stood on Qin Huairu's side.
"Old Jia, Dongxu, come and have a look... This is our daughter-in-law, and she wants to chase me away. How unfilial..."
"Or I can send you to the police station, but I don't know if you can survive." Qin Huairu's words were the final word.
Seeing that crying and shouting were useless, Jia Zhang immediately pulled Bang Geng over and cried, "My dear grandson, tell me, is your mother unfilial? She actually wanted to drive me away and send my grandmother to the police station. Grandma did this all for you."
Bang Geng stared with his eyes wide open, not knowing what to say, and finally blurted out three words: "I want a sister."
Da da da……
The sound of the deaf old lady's cane rang out again.
"I think we should send Jia Zhang back to the countryside. Huaihua may be destined to live like this." After the deaf old lady finished speaking, perhaps she felt that this was a bit unkind, so she continued, "Or if you have money, you can contribute some money and make up a thousand."
The deaf old lady thought that as long as she sent Jia Zhang to the countryside, no one would take care of Qin Huairu, and she might find someone to remarry in two months.
After that, Sha Zhu gave up the idea and could peacefully find a wife, get married and have children.
"Donation? Such a large amount is a bit difficult to donate." Yan Bugui was the first to stand up and object. One thousand yuan, there are only twenty households in the courtyard, and each household donates fifty yuan on average? It's a matter of life and death.
"Or, Zhonghai, you and your wife can adopt Huaihua and pay the thousand yuan." The deaf old lady said to Yi Zhonghai again. Anyway, she just didn't want Jia Zhang to pay to keep her.
Qin Huairu looked at the old lady in surprise when she heard that. If the child was really adopted by an old man and his wife, Qin Huairu would have no objection. Being adopted by an eighth-level worker would mean that she would not have to worry about food and drink in the future. Moreover, they lived in the same yard and she could see them every day.
"If the old man adopts the child, I have no objection." Qin Huairu lowered her head after saying this, and kept observing the reactions of Yi Zhonghai and his wife out of the corner of her eye.
