Chapter 773: Seeking Medical Treatment in Desperation 5

Xu Fugui said with a wry smile, "If I hadn't become the steward, I wouldn't bother to care about the Zhou family. I have a good-for-nothing son who idles around all day, and a wife who is stupid and greedy. I don't know what to say. It's already this late and they are still daydreaming. Forget it, let Zhou Erniu fend for himself." He looked at Yu Jiangbo who was looking at him eagerly, and lowered his voice and said, "Old Yu, don't just rely on us stewards. Don't forget the old lady in the backyard."

Yu Jiangbo suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly stood up and clasped his fists towards Xu Fugui and the other two. "Thank you very much. I'd like to ask you to say something nice about He Daqing. We'll go to thank you after the incident with Kang Ning is over. I'll go and ask the old lady for help now."

Xu Fugui smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "Old Yu, don't say those polite words now. Oh, don't let Zhou Erniu's wife know that you asked the old lady for help. That outspoken spendthrift woman might even make the old lady angry."

Of course Yu Jiangbo understood what the other party meant. He quickly nodded and walked out of the Xu family.

Yue Xiangqian glanced at Hao Aiguo and said with a smile: "Lao Xu, let's go home for dinner too. This lousy steward is really annoying."

After Yue Xiangqian and the other two left, Xu Fugui sat in front of the stove and added a few pieces of coal with a small iron shovel. Xu Fugui's wife, who was sitting at the eight-immortal table, whispered, "Fugui, why are you doing this? You just work hard but don't get any benefits. You're a shrew like Zhou Erniu's wife. Even if you help him get Zhou Erniu out, I'm afraid you won't end up well in the end."

Xu Fugui reached out and took the cigarette box from the Eight Immortals Table, lit a cigarette and took a puff, then whispered, "Since I'm the manager, I can't just ignore the tenants who came to my door, right? What would it look like if the news got out? Besides, I've already pointed out a clear way for them. As for whether He Daqing is willing to help, that has nothing to do with me. But from what I know about He Daqing, he will most likely not pay attention to them, and they will only hate He Daqing. In addition, according to Hao Aiguo, I'm afraid Zhou Erniu will not be able to escape being sentenced to labor reform this time. By then, the steel mill will definitely take back Zhou Erniu's current house, and there will be no Zhou family in the No. 95 courtyard in the future."

Xu Fugui's wife rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You're always thinking about evil things. Okay, let's eat. I've already let Damao and Xiaoling eat by themselves."

The residents who were watching the excitement in the backyard of the courtyard first saw Zhou Erniu's wife and her daughter walk out of the He family with gloomy faces. After a while, Yu Jiangbo came out and went straight back to the backyard ear room. Then Yue Xiangqian and Hao Aiguo, the two managers, also walked out of the He family together. Everyone knew that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they rubbed their hands and went back to their homes, ready to describe the excitement to their family members who did not come out to watch.

Yu Jiangbo returned home and ignored his wife's anxious questioning. He stood in front of the glass door and saw that the residents who were watching the fun in the backyard had already left. Then he sighed helplessly, opened the door and walked out.

After walking a few steps to the main door of the back house, Yu Jiangbo raised his hand and knocked on the door twice gently. After a pause, he knocked twice again.

The door was opened from the inside, and the person who appeared in front of Yu Jiangbo was actually the widow Jiang who lived in the backyard.

Widow Jiang saw Yu Jiangbo standing at the door with a complicated expression, and asked with a smile: "Master Yu, is there something wrong?"

Yu Jiangbo said slightly embarrassedly: "Jiang's sister-in-law, I have something urgent to ask the old lady."

Widow Jiang slightly moved aside to make way for Jiang Bo, and immediately closed the door after he entered. There was a stove in the room, and once the door was opened, the heat would dissipate. Although there was a layer of cotton curtain hanging outside, it still couldn't keep out the biting cold.

As soon as Yu Jiangbo walked into the room, he felt that it was very warm. The stove in front of the eight-immortals table was already burning red.

At this time, the deaf old lady was sitting beside the eight-immortal table. Xiao Yushui and the youngest son of Widow Jiang were each holding a steamed bun made of two grains of flour. They looked at Yu Jiangbo who walked into the house curiously and kept chewing in their little mouths.

Yu Jiangbo could not help but glance at the food on the eight-immortal table. There was a plate of braised beef with a strong meaty aroma, a plate of beef stewed with potatoes, and a large pot of pork, cabbage and tofu stew. In the bamboo basket next to it were steaming steamed buns made of two-grain flour. In front of each person was a large porcelain bowl filled with fragrant rice porridge.

Seeing the food in front of him, Yu Jiangbo couldn't help swallowing his saliva. At a time when the food supply quota is reduced, I am afraid that no one in the entire courtyard No. 95 can compare with the food here.

But thinking of his purpose, Yu Jiangbo quickly greeted the deaf old lady who was looking at him: "Old lady, I'm really sorry to come and disturb you at this time."

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Master Yu, just tell me what you want to say."

Obviously, the deaf old lady felt a little uncomfortable about Yu Jiangbo's sudden visit when she was having dinner, so she didn't give him a seat. Besides, there was food on the eight-immortals table, and she didn't want to delay the two children's meal.

Yu Jiangbo quickly explained his purpose to the deaf old lady, and then looked at her eagerly.

After hearing this, the deaf old lady couldn't help but frowned her long white eyebrows and said slowly: "Master Yu, you have also worked in the steel mill for many years. You should know how Lou's Steel Mill punished those workers with dirty hands and feet before liberation. The guards often beat and disabled workers. Now that liberation has come, the steel mill has become a state-owned factory. Even an old woman like me who never leaves the house knows that stealing state property will be punished. Since you have already discovered that the child stole things from the steel mill, why can't you stop it severely?"

Seeing Yu Jiangbo's face turning blue and red, and he just couldn't speak, the deaf old lady sighed, "For the sake of our old neighbor, when Daqing comes back, I will ask him to go to the security department of the steel mill to inquire about the specific situation. If your child's situation is relatively minor, I will ask him to help find someone to speak well of him. But let's be clear, if the child's situation is serious, don't blame Daqing for not helping. After all, he is just a cook."

After hearing this, Yu Jiangbo thanked him repeatedly and then took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Widow Jiang closed the door, sat down at the eight-immortal table, and whispered, "Old lady, are you really planning to ask Director He to help find someone?"

The deaf old lady sighed softly: "Since Yu Jiangbo has come to our house, we can't just ignore him no matter what. Anyway, the same thing applies. If his child is in a serious condition, then he will have to fend for himself."
