Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Oh, so you have a date tonight? With that girl from noon? Wow, you idiot Zhu, it's rare for a barren tree to bloom, and you've come up with such a big flower?"

While teasing He Yuzhu, Xu Damao raised his hand to signal Li Xiangdong to come and inspect the work.

Of the many workers, only Xu Damao and He Yuzhu chose not to work overtime. Working overtime at the factory meant a free, hearty dinner and more bonuses, so naturally no one wanted to leave early.

"Is this all the work you two did in a day?"

Li Xiangdong walked up to He Yuzhu and Xu Damao's workstations and said helplessly, but all of this was exactly what he had expected.

"Oh, Section Chief Li, you know that neither of us has ever done this kind of work before, so it's understandable that we're not very skilled at it!"

Seeing this, He Yuzhu had no choice but to speak tactfully.

"Of course I can understand!"

"Let me do the math. You two have a total deduction of eight yuan. Does that make it 50/50 or 40/60?"

Li Xiangdong smiled and extended his hand directly to the two men.

"Section Chief Li, Sha Zhu has already explained our situation to you, so why are you still asking us for money?"

Upon hearing that his pay would be deducted, Xu Damao finally couldn't sit still any longer.

"I understand that Lou Xiao'e attacked you with a knife because you were having affairs with other women, but does that mean she doesn't have to take responsibility for attacking you?"

"If you don't know how to do it, you can choose not to do it, but it's not right for you to deliberately delay our progress, is it?"

After Li Xiangdong said that, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had no room for argument.

"I didn't bring any money with me today, so please give me the money first."

Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu and said.

"I...I don't have any money..."

"Fine, then let's not give it to anyone and just stay here!"

Xu Damao knew that He Yuzhu was in a hurry to leave, so he deliberately put on this act.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Just remember to pay me back when you're done!"

He Yuzhu glanced at the time; it was already past six. If he lingered any longer, it would definitely delay his business, so he reluctantly took out the money.

"Pay back what? You've forgotten all about the money you owe me, haven't you?"

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I'm going now..."

He Yuzhu didn't have time to argue with them anymore. He picked up his backpack and headed straight to the market to prepare dinner for Grandma Feng Ting as quickly as possible.

"You... why did you faint again?"

"Help! My daughter-in-law has fainted!"

After Jia Zhangshi brought Qin Huairu to the hospital, Qin Huairu collapsed to the ground again as soon as they entered the gate, which frightened Jia Zhangshi so much that she hurriedly shouted for help.

"What's going on? Get a stretcher and carry them inside quickly!"

Doctors and nurses rushed to the scene and quickly took Qin Huairu to the emergency room.

"Where are the family members?"

"That's me! I'm her mother-in-law!"

"I mean, where's her husband? She's so pregnant and has such a big belly, and only her mother-in-law is with her. This man is so unreliable!"

The doctor said, somewhat speechless.

"How can you talk like that, doctor? You're supposed to be an educated person, yet you speak so rudely!"

"My son is dead. He was cursed to death by that woman who just pushed him in. Are you satisfied now?"

"She's always messing around outside, and we don't even know whose child she's carrying. I'm already being kind enough to get her to the hospital; how can we take responsibility for her?"

Upon hearing the doctor reprimand her son, Madam Jia immediately became displeased and launched into a tirade of retorts.

"Okay, okay... Your family's situation is none of my business..."

"The key issue now is that this pregnant woman is in danger. I took a look, and she is not even eight months pregnant yet, but she already shows signs of premature labor. You, as her family members, need to be mentally prepared."

The doctor rolled his eyes, looking helpless.

"What? Premature birth? I've heard that babies born at eight months don't survive!"

"I don't care, you have to take responsibility now that I've taken her to the hospital. We can't let anything happen to the baby in her womb!"

"Otherwise, I'll make sure this hospital goes out of business! And you, you can forget about your job! Nobody's going to have a good time!"

Before anything was even settled, Jia Zhangshi began threatening the doctor. Seeing that she was impossible to reason with, the doctor stopped talking and immediately went into the emergency room to begin treatment for Qin Huairu.

Chapter 300: Save the Mother or the Child?

Jia Zhangshi frowned, sighed, and sat down outside the emergency room. Despite her loud outbursts, she was actually quite scared.

"You're Qin Huairu's family member, right? Take a look at this quickly and decide whether to save the mother or the child?"

Before Jia Zhangshi could even settle in, the doctor rushed out again, handing her a white sheet.

"Save the mother or the child? What does that mean?"

"Qin Huairu is currently in critical condition due to severe bleeding. Based on the current situation, we can only save one of the mother and child. It's up to your family to decide."

"How could this be? My daughter-in-law has already had two children. Shouldn't it get easier with each birth? I think your hospital is incompetent. Get her out of here, and we'll go somewhere else to give birth!"

Jia Zhangshi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and then rushed into the emergency room.

"Why are you so stubborn? If you send her somewhere else now, neither the mother nor the child will survive!"

“Every minute and second wasted now is wasting the best time for the mother and child to be rescued. If you insist on making a scene here, there’s nothing I can do.”

"I'll give you one more minute. If you still can't make up your mind, then there's nothing more we can do."

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was making a scene again, the doctor, who was already very anxious, completely lost his patience and gave her an ultimatum.

"I..."

Hearing the doctor say this, Jia Zhangshi realized the seriousness of the matter and sat back down in her chair in a daze.

"Please...please save the adult..."

"Okay, once you've made up your mind, just sign it."

Jia Zhangshi thought for about half a minute, then signed her name on the notification form. Her mind was still blank until the doctor returned to the emergency room.

Although she didn't really like Qin Huairu, after weighing the pros and cons, it was still the best thing to do to save the adult.

Madam Jia had always suspected that the child in Qin Huairu's womb wasn't Jia Xudong's, so she hadn't paid much attention to Qin Huairu's pregnancy. She thought about it; if she saved the child and not the mother, wouldn't she have to raise three children alone? But if she saved Qin Huairu, at least the family would have someone to work, and she could continue living a comfortable life.

Half an hour later, Qin Huairu was slowly wheeled out of the emergency room.

"You good-for-nothing! Running around everywhere with your big belly, look what happened! You've lost my grandson!"

"If you ask me, Qin Huairu, you are the nemesis of our Jia family. It wasn't enough that you caused my son's death, now you're tormenting my grandson too!"

"I'm telling you, this isn't over between us today!"

Seeing Qin Huairu being pushed out, Madam Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but she still continued to hurl insults at him.

"I......"

Qin Huai lay weakly on the bed, wanting to say something, but unable to make a sound.

"How can you be such a mother-in-law? She just had surgery and her health is very poor, and you're still scolding her here."

"Besides, the problem with the baby isn't solely the mother's responsibility. You family members don't care normally, and only start complaining when things get tough!"

"You should hurry up and give her some nutrition, otherwise her recovery will be a big problem."

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's relentless attitude towards Qin Huairu, even the doctor standing nearby couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded Jia Zhangshi.

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

"Tch, you're really meddling."

Madam Jia muttered something under her breath, then turned and left without even taking Qin Huairu into the ward.

He Yuzhu's cooking process seemed to be fast-forwarded. He was busy and sweating profusely, and he finished cooking three dishes in less than an hour before rushing to the hospital.

"I'm so sorry, Grandma, the factory closes really late. By the time I got home from grocery shopping and cooking, it was already this late..."

He Yuzhu rushed into the ward. Grandma Feng Ting was resting by the bedside, while Feng Ting was sitting next to the bed peeling oranges.

....... 0 0

"This...it's already eight o'clock...Grandma, you haven't already eaten, have you?"

He glanced at the time on the wall, bit his lip, and asked awkwardly.

"No, I was just about to go to the hospital cafeteria to get food for my grandma, but she said you promised to bring her food, so she insisted on waiting for you."

Feng Ting responded with a smile, and it seemed that her impression of He Yuzhu was gradually improving.

"You've worked hard, Sha Zhu. You've been busy at the factory all day, and now you're still helping me out here..."

"Grandma, please don't be so formal with me. I've always regarded you as my own grandma ever since I met you. This is just what I should do."

It must be said that although He Yuzhu is stupid, he is quite good at saying nice things.
