Chapter 399 Shazhu's Piggy Bank
Seeing Qin Huairu suddenly get angry, Ran Qiuye went home after washing the dishes, feeling uneasy.
Chen Jianye held her hand and accompanied her.
Instead of going out for a bike ride, the two stayed at home.
After nearly an hour, Lao Ding came back.
"How's it going, Old Ding? Is Qin Huairu okay?"
"Is it time to give birth?"
Everyone asked.
"I don't know. I just sent him to the hospital and came back."
"Qin Huairu was picked up by the hospital's cart, and Sha Zhu followed her in."
Lao Ding spread his hands.
He had done his best by sending Qin Huairu to the hospital.
Qin Huairu is not his wife, so it is impossible for him to stay with her in the hospital.
Not getting any useful information, everyone dispersed.
Another half hour passed.
Silly Pillar is back.
Everyone surrounded Sha Zhu again and asked about Qin Huairu.
"The doctor said Sister Qin was about to give birth. I forgot what it was."
"I came back to borrow money from an old man. The doctor said that it would be best for Sister Qin to stay in the hospital tonight. She can only come back tomorrow if her condition is stable."
"If anyone of you can lend me some money, I won't have to bother an old man anymore."
Sha Zhu paused and said.
Everyone ran away.
Now all the residents of the courtyard house know that Sha Zhu owes Yi Zhonghai a huge debt.
The kind that can't be replaced in a few years.
Who dares to lend money to Sha Zhu?
Moreover, this money is obviously the medical expenses that Sha Zhu paid for Qin Huairu. At that time, it will be considered as a loan from Sha Zhu or a loan from the Jia family.
Sha Zhu curled his lips, feeling unhappy.
Does your reputation seem so bad? He runs away as soon as you ask him to lend you money.
It's too realistic.
He arrived at the door of the Yi family and saw Yi Zhonghai sitting in the house: "Uncle, Sister Qin is in good condition. The doctor said she needs to be hospitalized. Can you lend me some money?"
Yi Zhonghai shuddered.
"Uncle, you don't need to borrow too much, just lend me twenty dollars."
Silly Zhu continued.
"Isn't twenty dollars too much?"
Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked at Sha Zhu, his tone full of dissatisfaction.
What do you mean twenty dollars is not a lot of money?
You only pay me ten bucks a month, how dare you say twenty bucks isn't a lot?
"Uncle, I'm borrowing money to help Sister Qin stay in the hospital and protect her pregnancy. I'm really in a hurry."
"You lend it to me first, and I will definitely pay you back later. I can't deny the debt."
Sha Zhu said anxiously.
"I know you won't default on your debt. You still have your house as collateral to me."
"Didn't we just collect donations for the Jia family a few days ago? Even if Qin Huairu buys food, she should have at least ten yuan in her hand, right? Are you going to pay for all her medical expenses?"
Yi Zhonghai reminded.
"The doctor told me to prepare 20 yuan, but I was so anxious that I didn't even think about the money in Sister Qin's hand."
Sha Zhu chuckled.
"I'll lend you ten dollars, and you can figure out the rest yourself."
"Silly Zhu, I'm short of money, don't come to me to borrow money for no reason."
Yi Zhonghai suppressed the urge to curse.
He felt like he was about to become Shazhu's piggy bank.
If you have no money, come to him.
Who the hell can stand this?
Even if they are my own children, if they come to borrow money every day, it will make me feel annoyed as a father.
The Liu Haizhong family and the Yan Fugui family in the courtyard both have three sons, but neither of them spoils Sha Zhu as much as he does.
"Okay, ten dollars is fine, let's get through this first."
Sha Zhu reluctantly accepted it.
After taking the ten dollars, he turned and left, walking hurriedly towards the hospital.
Chen Jianye accompanied Ran Qiuye for a stroll in the yard, chatted with the old ladies in the compound, and also learned about Qin Huairu's situation.
"Giving birth is like going through the gates of hell for us women."
"That's not great. When I gave birth to my first child, I lay in bed in pain for a whole day in June."
"Hey, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I peed and shit all over the floor."
"I didn't suffer much when giving birth, but I kept leaking urine afterwards. Alas, there's nothing I can do about it."
Several old sisters-in-law gathered together to chat, talking about the sufferings they had experienced when giving birth to their children, and sighing repeatedly.
Ran Qiuye was frightened when he heard this.
"It's okay. We'll take good rest after giving birth and get well."
"Look at our mother, isn't that good?"
Chen Jianye spoke in a gentle and soothing voice.
He also knows that although the country is vigorously developing women's reproductive health at this stage, due to technological limitations, both the mortality rate and postpartum care are indeed poor.
Even after the 20th century, the maternal mortality rate could only be maintained at around 15 per 100,000.
Cannot be lowered further.
This is the case with many things. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.
"Well, I'm not afraid."
Ran Qiuye touched her belly.
She now seemed to be able to feel the movement of the new life in her belly.
The thought that she was about to have a child filled her heart with endless joy.
Even if the process is difficult and you suffer, it is still a beautiful expectation.
The two strolled in the yard for a while and then went home to rest.
Ran Qiuye had no intention of preparing lessons, so she pulled Chen Jianye to bed to rest.
Chen Jianye naturally agreed.
His daughter-in-law is upset, and as a husband he should stay with her.
Chen Jianye didn't get intimate at all. He stayed with Ran Qiuye as calmly as possible to give her more sense of security.
Wait until the next afternoon.
Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye were picking vegetables at the door.
"Old Ding, pull up your cart and come with me to the hospital to bring Sister Qin back."
Sha Zhu shouted loudly.
"Is Qin Huairu okay?"
"Is she ready to be discharged?"
"Silly Zhu, why don't you let Qin Huairu stay in the hospital for two more days and observe her more. Make sure nothing goes wrong."
Everyone in the compound asked.
"The doctor said I can be discharged from the hospital. I think I'll be fine."
"It costs three or four yuan to stay in the hospital for two days. Can you help Sister Qin pay for it?"
Shazhu said unhappily.
The old sister-in-law who suggested that Qin Huairu continue to stay in the hospital curled her lips and dared not say anything more.
It's okay to say a few words to show concern, but no one can do it to ask her to pay.
Old Ding was willing to work hard and pulled the cart and followed Sha Zhu to the hospital.
Wait for the Chen family to finish their meal.
Old Ding pulled the cart back to the courtyard.
"Sister Qin, go slowly, I'll support you."
Sha Zhu said earnestly.
"Well, just look at me and click."
Qin Huairu got off the cart, holding her belly.
She didn't dare to support Sha Zhu, for fear that other people in the compound would gossip.
Sha Zhu stood next to Qin Huairu.
The two entered the yard one after the other.
"Hey, the Jia family's daughter-in-law is back."
"Qin Huairu, how are you? Is everything alright?"
"Hey, you scared us last night. We thought you were going to give birth."
Several older sisters-in-law came over to ask questions.
"Thank you, everyone. I'm fine. The doctor told me to just rest and take care of myself."
"If it weren't for your help, I might... Thank you so much, everyone."
Qin Huairu thanked him sincerely.
"Why thank you? We are all neighbors in the same courtyard."
"You have to be more careful next time. You have a baby in your belly."
"Go back and have a good rest."
Everyone was talking.
Qin Huairu slowly walked to the door of the Jia family.
"Mother."
"Mother."
Banggeng and Dingdang ran out from Yi's house.
An old lady followed behind the two of them.
"Thank you, Auntie. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do."
Qin Huairu thanked him again.
"It's okay, just take care of yourself and everything will be fine after the baby is born."
The aunt smiled and said a few words to Qin Huairu.
Seeing that Qin Huairu only thanked her verbally and had no intention of giving money or sending any supplies, the old lady went home with a forced smile.
