Chapter 623: New Soldier Liu Haizhong
After these words were spoken, Liu Haizhong was completely confused.
How do you prove this?
It's impossible that the whole family would be shouting and making noise in the courtyard when the old hen at home is laying eggs, right?
Normally, no one pays attention to these things, unless it happens like the Chen family, when the old hen Kuku lays eggs, then people will pay attention.
An old hen that only lays one egg a day doesn’t qualify!
"Everyone in my family knows about it!" Liu Haizhong had no choice but to say this.
"It's useless. Uncle, this only proves that you have a chicken at home!" A spectator couldn't help but say so.
Everyone nodded.
Got it!
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he knew he couldn't ask for more money.
If I had known it would be so troublesome, I should have sent a separate one, or bought a slaughtered one at the market and sent it over.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Haizhong could only look at Yan Bugui with reproach.
You are all the people in charge of the hospital. Old Yan, can’t you help me a little?
Yan Bugui could only shake his head helplessly when seeing this. It was a bit unreasonable for Liu Haizhong to ask for nine dollars. If he favored Liu Haizhong, it would cause dissatisfaction among the people in the hospital.
Since it won't benefit me in any way, I might as well do things impartially.
Liu Haizhong had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, okay, okay, I admit it. I won't charge you for the eggs laid by the old hen, but this old hen is five pounds and two ounces, which is worth four yuan per pound. This doesn't even include the ticket. That should be fine, right?"
Liu Haizhong was about to admit his loss, but he didn't expect Qin Huairu to be more skilled. She just curled her lips, her eyes started to turn red, and she looked pitiful.
"Uncle, you are bullying me. That chicken is so skinny, how can it possibly weigh 15 pounds and 2 ounces? If you can prove that the chicken weighed 15 pounds and 2 ounces, we will pay you back!"
What? ? ?
Liu Haizhong was almost furious at Qin Huairu's words.
Not counting the money from the eggs would have been a big loss, but who would have thought that Qin Huairu was even more ruthless and dared to question the weight of the old hen.
"Qin Huairu, I am the second uncle in our courtyard. Is it necessary to lie?"
Liu Haizhong stood up angrily, pointed at Qin Huairu and said, "Don't try to deny it, you have to give me the four dollars!"
Seeing this, Qin Huairu did not refute or argue with Liu Haizhong, but lowered her head and began to wipe her tears.
Uncle Yan Bugui thought for a moment and asked Liu Haizhong, "Old Liu, can you prove that the chicken weighs five pounds and two ounces?"
"How can I prove this? They ate all the chickens!"
"Then let's put it this way. You don't have to let the Jia family pay compensation." Yan Bugui said slowly, but was interrupted by Liu Haizhong before he finished speaking.
"Why? Why don't you pay the money? This is our old hen!"
Yan Bugui raised his hand and said, "Don't be impatient. Wait for me to finish what I am saying."
"What I mean is that you two families should stop arguing about how heavy the hen is and whether it lays eggs. Why don't you just let the Jia family buy an old hen and give it back to you? That way, neither of you will suffer any loss. How do you think?"
You know what, although Yan Bugui usually doesn't say much in the whole hospital meetings, he still has his own ideas in mind.
Asking the Jia family to compensate with a chicken is a solution that really cannot be faulted.
"Hmph, what if the Jia family deliberately buys a skinny old hen? What if it doesn't lay eggs?" Liu Haizhong muttered, looking a little dissatisfied.
When the onlookers in the yard saw this, they also started to negotiate across the city, and finally the two families reached a consensus that the Jia family compensated Liu Haizhong with an old hen and a bag of eggs.
He didn't specify how many eggs were needed, but Liu Haizhong asked to fill the cloth bag.
"Well, let's go buy an old hen tomorrow morning!" Liu Haizhong said to Qinghua Lu with a cold face.
Qin Huairu shook her head and said, "Second Uncle, our family doesn't have money to buy chicken yet. We can only wait until Dongxu gets his salary before we can buy some."
"Also, our family currently doesn't have a ticket, so we need to find time to go to the street office to apply for one."
Now you need a ticket whether you buy a live chicken or a dead chicken. You need a meat ticket for a slaughtered chicken, and a chicken ticket for a live chicken.
Although the Jia family can make ends meet now, their life is quite tight because they need to pay off debts.
Therefore, Qin Huairu didn't even think about buying an old hen for Liu Haizhong and she just put it off as long as possible.
Anyway, the Jia family has acknowledged the matter, and no one in the courtyard can find any fault with it.
But how can I buy it for you if you have no money or ticket at home?
"Jia Dongxu and your mother-in-law receive a salary every month, how could they not have money! Qin Huairu, are you trying to default on your debt?" Liu Haizhong felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he felt like he was going to vomit blood because of Qin Huairu's anger in the next second.
I've already made concessions, and you actually want to cheat?
"We have no money. We really have no money. Although we get paid every month, we still have to pay our debts. It will take several months to pay off the debt owed to the old man."
"After paying off the debt every month, the remaining money can only buy some cornmeal and cornmeal. We can't even afford white flour."
"Uncle, if you are worried, can we return the eggs to you first? We will return five eggs every month for a total of six months. You will not suffer any loss this way. Don't worry about the hens. We will buy them for you when we have enough money."
"If you still don't agree, you are trying to force our family to death."
After saying that, Qin Huairu lowered her head and began to sob softly.
When Liu Haizhong saw this scene, he felt his scalp tingling.
Damn, eggs have to be paid in installments?
Can I still buy that old hen?
"Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense. It's only natural to pay back debts. I didn't force you to do that. We agreed to compensate the old hen. Everyone in the courtyard is watching."
"Uncle, I didn't say I wouldn't return it!"
Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes were red, and she looked aggrieved and miserable. If Sha Zhu had seen her like this, he would definitely have jumped out and taken on the debt for the Jia family.
When Chen Jun saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh twice.
Qin Huairu was born in the wrong era, otherwise she would have been very successful in the entertainment industry, or at least become famous in the short drama circle.
Although Liu Haizhong is the second boss in the hospital, he is no match to Qin Huairu when it comes to arguing over compensation.
"If you don't want to wait that long, we can think of another way to pay off the debt with other things, okay?" Qin Huairu said.
Liu Haizhong immediately asked, "What is that? I don't want any junk!"
"Dongxu works in the cafeteria, right? He told me that he can get a white flour steamed bun every day at noon. White flour steamed buns are good stuff. Can we compensate you with one white flour steamed bun every day?"
In the final analysis, this matter was caused by Jia Dongxu. Now Liu Haizhong is causing trouble, and Jia Dongxu doesn't know where to hide like a coward, leaving the two women in the family to take responsibility.
So this made Qin Huairu feel very uncomfortable.
You don’t have to show up, but I will pay for the steamed buns for you!
