Chapter 606: Seeking Fun, You Bring It upon Yourself
After get off work, Li Kailang returned to the yard and looked at the empty space in front of his house. He then looked at the many things piled up in front of each house.

"It's empty, why don't we do something?"

"How about making a swing so we can play with it in our spare time."

Li Kailang stroked his chin and thought. The idea of ​​the swing came from the Lou family. There just happened to be a swing in the Lou family villa.

"It's a good opportunity to give it to Xiao Xiaobai to play with. Jie Di can also play with it."

It is better to act than to think. Li Kailang planned the area to be used, roughly planned the size of the swing, and then went back to the house to start working.

First, I selected some sturdy wood, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some screws, ropes, and wood glue, and finally made a few metal buckles myself.

Li Kailang planned to use mortise and tenon structure, but in order to make it stronger, he also used metal buckles to fix it as a double guarantee just in case.

After all, this swing is in the yard and will naturally be exposed to wind and sun. It has to be sturdy.

After everything was ready, Li Kailang started to work. With his master-level proficiency in carpentry, he could easily make the small swing.

Yan Bugui looked at Li Kailang who was busy again and said, "Xiao Li, are you making furniture again?"

Li Kailang shook his head: "No, I plan to build a swing at the door of my house, just for fun."

"It's good to sit on the swing and to be a swing." Yan Bugui nodded with a smile, but he was thinking in his mind.

As an adult like Li Kailang, he would definitely feel embarrassed to play. Fortunately, Jie Di is still young and can play without restraint.

Besides, Li Kailang likes Jie Di very much, and Jie Di doesn’t have many toys.

"Xiao Li, do you want me to lend a hand?"

"That's not necessary. I can do it alone. Having one more person will only mess up my train of thought."

"Okay, then you can do it yourself." Yan Bugui just said it casually without really intending to help.

There was plenty of wood in the space, and Li Kailang made a large swing directly according to the physical standards of a giant panda, with a seat and backrest.

Just in case, there is protection in front of the seat to prevent the person from being thrown out of the seat if pushed too quickly.

It is not difficult to make such a swing set, but the workload is a bit large, mainly because there are many details. Li Kailang did not expect to finish it in one night.

I did this for two or three days and finally finished it on Saturday.

Unable to wait until it was installed, Li Kailang was the first to sit on it and try it out.

First sit down heavily back and forth, then rock gently, then increase the amplitude, and everything will run normally.

"It's OK, pretty solid."

After the swing was installed, neighbors gradually noticed it and came over to join in the fun.

"Xiao Li, you're done." Yan Bugui couldn't wait to come over first, holding Yan Jiedi in his arms.

"Yes, just finished."

"It's no wonder that it was made by Xiao Li. You can tell from the quality of the ingredients that were used that it was made."

"This swing is the biggest I've ever seen. Even the landlords in the past didn't make one this big."

"If you don't say that Xiao Li is very capable, I can't make such a big swing."

Everyone praised loudly.

"Hey, no, no, isn't it enough to just use your hands?" Li Kailang waved his hands modestly.

Everyone laughed and praised you for actually catching your breath, but it was indeed the Li family.

There's nothing we can do about it, as they have to install it when they are so forced to do so.

Li Kailang knew the purpose of everyone coming here: "Everyone, let me be frank, I made this swing just for myself to play with."

"If any of you want to play, I can't stop you, but let's make a deal first. If anyone breaks it, you either have to fix it or pay the price."

"As for accidental injuries, I am not responsible. After all, I didn't ask you to play with it. You wanted to play with it on your own. If you played with it without my permission and broke it, that would be intentional damage to other people's property, and you will be sentenced to jail and fined."

"Everyone remember to go back and tell your children at home."

Li Kailang made things clear directly to prevent certain people from taking advantage of him.

When the neighbors heard this, their faces changed one by one, and some of them complained that Li Kailang's words were inhumane.

But on second thought, there was nothing wrong with what Li Kailang said.

Yan Bugui nodded first: "What Xiao Li said is right. After all, this swing was made by someone else. It's great that we can give it to everyone for free."

"Besides, we are adults, how could something go wrong if we were used as a swing? When we get back, we should warn the children. At the very least, we should just watch them while they are playing. We can't expect anything to happen."

"What the Third Master said makes sense. Xiao Li is a kind-hearted person, and we can't blackmail him. Whoever does this will be criticized."

With Yan Bugui's agreement, other neighbors also understood Li Kailang's good intentions and agreed with him.

"Okay then, I'll put some paint on it, and everyone can play after it dries."

Afterwards, Li Kailang painted the wood in front of everyone, making the swing more beautiful.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Li Kailang went to Xinhua Bookstore to study.

"Is anyone gone?"

"Gone grandma."

"Come on, let's go swing too."

Jia Zhang pulled Bang Geng and went to the front yard together.

"It's my turn, it's my turn!"

"No, it's not time yet, play for a while longer."

Next to the swing, there was a continuous stream of cheerful laughter.

The children in the yard all came over to play and had a great time.

"Don't make noise, don't push, come one by one." Yan Bugui on the side maintained order.

"Gang Wanwan, go to the back and push the swing. Remember not to push it too hard. Be careful to dodge."

"Know it."

With the help of a parent, the children behaved in an orderly manner.

"Go, go, get out of here."

Jia Zhang looked at so many people and immediately scolded them rudely.

"mom!"

"dad!"

The frightened children immediately ran away in all directions.

Yan Jiedi hid directly behind Yan Bugui and grabbed his trouser leg tightly.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you doing?" Yan Bugui shouted.

"As an adult, can't you understand some order? You are the only one who wants to grab a seat. Why are you fighting with a child for a swing when you are old?"

"Humph, it's none of your business. Who said I wanted to play? I was playing for my good grandson."

Let's talk. Jia Zhang turned around and looked at Bang Geng with a smile on her face: "My dear grandson, come up and play."

"Thank you, grandma." Banggeng smiled sincerely and sat down on it.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you know that this is Li Kailang's swing? How dare you play with his swing?"

Jia Zhang said unreasonably: "What! Li Kailang said I can't play. Li Kailang didn't say anything, what are you talking about? The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."

"you!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense with Jia Zhang." Yan Bugui came out to stop them.

"Since you want to play, go ahead and play. When Li Kailang finds out, what will you do?"

Yan Bugui took Yan Jiedi home.

Seeing this, others also took their children back.

"Ah, I won't go back. I haven't had enough fun yet."

"I won't go back, I won't go back!"

The children struggled not to go back, but they couldn't persuade the adults.

"My dear grandson, is it fun?"

"It's fun, fun!" Banggeng's laughter echoed on the swing.

Jia Zhang saw Banggeng having so much fun playing, and then seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to play too.

"My dear grandson, grandma wants to play too."

Banggeng immediately made way, but since no one pushed him, he was not happy swinging.

"My dear grandson, go down and push it."

"Ah? I don't want to go down." Banggeng shook his head.

"Good grandson, be obedient. Grandma will push you too in a while and let you have fun."

"Okay." Banggeng came down and pushed the swing.

"Hahaha~"

"He's already old, but he's still acting like a child, snatching children's toys."

The neighbors all despised what Jia Zhang did, which was truly shameful.

"My dear grandson, push harder and harder!" Jia Zhang asked with a smile.

Fortunately, Jia Zhang is not as heavy as before, otherwise the stick would not be able to push.

"My dear grandson, push harder!" Jia Zhang swung happily on the swing.

"Grandma, it's my turn now." "Let grandma play for a while longer."

Bang Geng pushed for a long time, and seeing that Jia Zhang had no intention of coming down, he immediately pushed harder and harder.

"Hahaha~" Jia Zhang was still immersed in the waves.

"Ahhh!!!"

The swing swung higher and higher, and Jia Zhang couldn't hold on to the railings on both sides and flew out in an instant.

Jia Zhang moved her limbs around and tried her best to steady her body, but her feet were still unstable.

"Oops~"

Jia Zhang just rubbed her hands on the ground like a dog eating shit.

“Ouch! It hurts so much~”

"Deserve it!"

Hearing Jia Zhang's screams, everyone was gloating and no one went out.

"Third uncle, Third uncle."

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu."

"Dongxu, my son, please save me, Mom is dying."

"What are you arguing about! It's so noisy!" Jia Dongxu was woken up and ran to the front yard angrily, watching Jia Zhang shed two lines of tears.

"Awesome!"

"I didn't do it. It was grandma who insisted on playing this way. Don't blame me!" Banggeng quickly denied it and ran out at lightning speed.

"Dongxu, come and see mom."

"Oh, my waist, my hands and feet, it hurts so much~" Jia Zhang was still screaming.

"Everyone, please give me a hand." Seeing this, Jia Dongxu called for help, but unfortunately no one seemed to hear him.

"Huai Ru, go home and get some money so we can go to the hospital right away."

After saying that, he immediately carried Jia Zhang on his back to the hospital.

"Hey, Dongxu, be gentle~"

"You deserve it when you're old and still competing with kids for playthings!" Qin Huairu looked at him unhappily. The family didn't have much money, but Jia Zhang was still acting like a spoiled child.

Without much hesitation, Qin Huairu went home to get the money and went straight to the hospital.

"Bah! You deserved it!"

"Good fall, let you snatch the swing from the kid."

hospital.

"Oh my, doctor, be gentle!"

"Ah! It hurts so much, I won't get treatment if I don't get treatment."

"The patient is overreacting. Give her a painkiller to relieve the pain."

"Yes."

"Come! Auntie, take some medicine. The pain will go away after you take it."

"Really? Don't lie to me."

"I didn't lie to you, come and eat."

"Mom, eat quickly."

Jia Zhang was half-believing and half-doubting but still ate it.

Not long after taking the medicine, the effect had not yet taken effect, so the doctor started treatment again.

"Ouch! Ouch~"

"It's no use. I'm dying. Dongxu, quickly pay for the surgery. I just can't stand the pain any more."

Jia Dongxu had a worried look on his face: "Mom, we don't have any money. We used it all to buy food. You are such a grown-up and you are playing with children's things. Now you are in trouble."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. If you have no money, just go and borrow it!" Jia Zhang said coldly.

"Let's go find Yi Zhonghai. His family is rich and he's a great grandfather. He won't ignore us."

"If it really doesn't work, hold a general meeting to ask for donations. Our family is in such a difficult situation, it's only right that everyone lends a hand."

With her life in danger, Jia Zhang's mind suddenly improved.

"And that bastard Li Kailang, what a son of a bitch, why did he set up a swing for no reason? He caused me so much trouble, I must make him pay for it! Ah!"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up. This might be a solution.

Most of the family savings have been used to buy food, and there is not much money left. If we can extort a hundred or two hundred yuan, our family will be much better off. Even if it's half price, it will be fine.

Qin Huairu hesitated: "This is not a good idea. Didn't Li Kailang say yesterday that if you get hurt, you will bear the consequences yourself?"

Jia Zhang's eyes narrowed: "Why do you still care about what Li Kailang said? I'm your mother, and you're still turning your elbow outward."

"Ouch, it hurts, doctor, please be gentler."

"It won't heal if you're gentle." The doctor said this, but he was secretly exerting force with his hands.

This old lady is not a good person. She actually extorts money from others for no reason. She deserves a lesson.

He looked at the nurse beside him and said, "Hold on, don't let the patient move."

"Yes." Several nurses shared a common hatred.

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Huai Ru, you watch first. I'll go to the yard to find Li Kailang."

Immediately, Jia Dongxu ran back to the yard to find Li Kailang, but he had gone to Xinhua Bookstore and was not at home.

"You knew it was going to happen but you hid yourself. Where can you hide? You can escape the monk but you can't escape the temple."

Immediately, Jia Dongxu went to the police station to report the crime.

The police first went to the hospital to visit Jia Zhang and learned that her injuries were not light. Then they came to the yard to investigate the cause of the incident.

"Comrade police officer, this is Uncle Three. He is the closest to this place and he knows everything."

"Third Uncle, tell me the truth. Was it Li Kailang's swing that injured my mother?"

Seeing the police and Jia Dongxu coming to his house, Yan Bugui shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know about this. I'm not at home."

"Hey, Third Uncle, you can't be so biased towards Li Kailang. We are from the same courtyard. My mother is still in the hospital. You have to tell the truth about this matter."

Yan Bugui pretended to be innocent and spread his hands: "I really don't know about this matter. I'm not at home."

Seeing that Yan Bugui was useless, Jia Dongxu looked at the third aunt: "Third aunt, you have been at home the whole time, you know this best."

The third aunt followed suit and spread her hands: "I don't know."

The police looked at the two men and vaguely guessed that either they were on Li Kailang's side, or Jia Dongxu was wrong in this matter.

He immediately looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "Comrade, please go outside so we can question you privately."

"Comrade police, you must give me justice. I'm still in the hospital." Jia Dongxu pleaded pitifully.

"Don't worry." The police nodded and motioned Jia Dongxu to go away.

Then he turned to look at Yan Bugui, and he told the truth.

"Comrade police, this is all the result of Jia Zhang's own actions, his own actions, his own consequences, and his own faults!"

Yan Bugui said several idioms in a row, and the third aunt explained: "Yes, it's all Jia Zhang's own fault. She is so old, but she still competes with children for the swing."

The two of them explained the matter to each other, and also mentioned what Li Kailang said yesterday that the consequences would be at his own risk.

Finally, he said, "Comrade police officer, if you don't believe me, go ask everyone in the front yard, and the back yard. There's no need to ask the middle yard. They are all one family."

"Okay, thank you for your help." The police nodded.

"Comrade police officer, how is it?"

"I have an idea, but I still need to ask everyone."

After asking everyone in the front yard and even the back house, everyone gave the same answer: it was Jia Zhang who was trapped in her own web.

"Comrade Jia, we have investigated the matter thoroughly. This matter was entirely caused by you and has nothing to do with Li Kailang."

"Comrade police officer, why are you speaking up for Li Kailang? My mother fell and got hurt. Was it his swing that caused her to fall?"

"Yes, but it is you who caused this result."

The laws of this era are pretty good. Right is right and wrong is wrong. There is no compromise and no "no-fault liability."

"It's clear now. This is entirely your own fault. If the swing is damaged, your mother will also bear part of the responsibility."

"Ah, police comrades, you can't sentence me like this, you have to help me, my mother is still in the hospital waiting for money for treatment."

Jia Dongxu shamelessly grabbed the police and wouldn't let them leave.

"Let go. If you don't let go, we will consider you as attacking a police officer! You will definitely be sent to jail."

These words scared Jia Dongxu so much that he let go immediately.

"Go back and close the case." The policeman left the yard.

Jia Dongxu would not give up if his goal was not achieved: "Li Kailang, just wait for me."

Since Li Kailang cannot be blackmailed, the most urgent thing is to raise money to treat Jia Zhang's illness.

"Everyone, my mother is in the hospital and urgently needs money. Please give me some!"

Jia Dongxu's pleading did not affect anyone at all.

Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do, and some even locked the doors and closed the windows to avoid being disturbed by Jia Dongxu.
