As a fragrance wafted from the kitchen, Chen Xiangdong came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of old hen.

“It smells so good… Is it an old hen???”

When Teacher Ran smelled the aroma of the old hen, she felt her appetite increase greatly and even her mouth began to drool.

But at this moment she had a question in her heart, that is, where did Chen Xiangdong's old hen come from? She didn't seem to see Chen Xiangdong buy an old hen when he returned home.

Chen Xiangdong put the old hen on the table and invited Gu Youyou and Teacher Ran to eat.

The three of them gathered around the table and began to feast.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai was eating absent-mindedly at home.

An aunt noticed that her husband was acting abnormally and asked with concern.

"What's wrong with the old man? Is the food not to your liking?"

"without......"

Then he took two more mouthfuls of porridge, and after thinking it over, he decided to say it out loud.

Jia Zhang has already threatened him that if he cannot raise enough money for Jia Dongxu's funeral and coffin before tomorrow, she will tell everyone that Jia Dongxu is his illegitimate child.

"My dear, give me 100 yuan. I have something to do."

When she heard that Yi Zhonghai wanted 100 yuan, the old lady put down her chopsticks and started asking Yi Zhonghai what he wanted the money for.

After all, 100 yuan is not a small amount of money. Although Yi Zhonghai's monthly salary is 99.8 yuan, they almost never run out of medicine on a daily basis. In addition, there is not much left after their daily expenses. It can be said that it will take them three months to save up this 100 yuan.

"Old man, what are you going to do with 100 yuan?"

Then she remembered the whole hospital meeting this afternoon. Although Auntie did not go, she still heard from the neighbors that it was to raise donations for the Jia family.

"Are you planning to give it to the Jia family?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"I'm not giving it to the Jia family, I'm lending it to them first. The Jia family doesn't have the money to hold a funeral for Jia Dongxu right now, and they can't even afford a coffin."

"After all, Jia Dongxu is my only disciple. As his master, I cannot watch him die in the wilderness."

The aunt is a good person in the courtyard on weekdays, so when she heard Yi Zhonghai say this, she felt a little bit of empathy in her heart.

Although she usually disliked Jia Dongxu, she still felt a little bad now that he was gone. The Jia family relied on Jia Dongxu to work, and now that Jia Dongxu was dead, how could their whole family survive?

"That's right. After all, Jia Dongxu is your apprentice. As the saying goes, an apprentice is half a son. If the apprentice dies, you, as a master, should help them."

After saying that, the aunt prepared to get up and get the money from Yi Zhonghai.

As soon as she stood up, the aunt suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Old man, didn't Jia Dongxu have an accident at the factory? Doesn't the factory offer any compensation?"

"I heard from others that if an accident occurs in the factory, the family members can get a large amount of compensation."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up.

How could he forget about this? The steel mill should pay compensation for what happened to Jia Dongxu in the factory.

I heard from others that the compensation is at least two or three hundred or even more.

Yi Zhonghai slapped his forehead.

"What a fool! How could I have forgotten this?"

"My dear, I'm going to go out for a while. I want to tell my sister-in-law the news."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai put down his bowl and chopsticks and went out to Jia's house.

......

When he arrived at the door of the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai opened it without even knocking and walked in.

This scared Jia Zhang in the room.

"What are you doing? Why don't you even knock on the door?"

At this time, Jia Zhang still hated Yi Zhonghai a little bit in her heart, so she didn't look at him very well.

"Did you collect enough money? Are you here to give me some?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was embarrassed for a moment, and he took out 7 yuan and cents from his pocket and said.

"That's all I can take out."

When Jia Zhang saw that there was only so little money, her face suddenly changed. She was about to scold Yi Zhonghai and kick him out.

At this time Yi Zhonghai brought her good news.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Although I haven't collected enough money, I have good news to tell you."

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up.

"What good news???"

"Didn't Dongxu die in an accident while working overtime at the steel mill? The steel mill has to pay a large sum of money as compensation. This amount is not a small amount, at least 2 to 300, or even more."

Jia Zhang smiled happily and walked forward and punched Yi Zhonghai in the chest.

"You are such a jerk. Why didn't you tell me this good news earlier?"

"I forgot about it because I was in a hurry..."

Looking at the tall Yi Zhonghai in front of her, Jia Zhang's heart was filled with love again. She spoke in a coquettish manner, twisting her body.

"Come back later today and stay with me for a while. I'm a little scared to be alone at home..."

..............................................................

On the other side, after Chen Xiangdong and his friends had dinner, Teacher Ran tutored Youyou in the room for a while.

Seeing that it was getting late, Teacher Ran got up and prepared to go home.

Chen Xiangdong spoke.

"Teacher Ran, it's so dark outside, I'll ride my bike to take you there."

A blush flashed across Teacher Ran’s face.

He nodded his little head gently.

Then Chen Xiangdong rode his bicycle and walked together with Teacher Ran.

The two of them rode on the streets of the old city. The road was pitch black on both sides and the surroundings were so quiet that it was a bit scary. Apart from the sound of the two people pedaling their bicycles, there was no other noise.

At this time Chen Xiangdong said something.

"Teacher Ran, it's so dark, why don't I tell you a ghost story."

Chen Xiangdong knew that Teacher Ran was interested in her, so he might as well win over Yu Haitang as well.

Anyway, I'm strong and can handle two of them.

Teacher Ran chuckled.

"It's so dark, and you're still telling me jokes. Aren't you worried that I'll be scared?"

"Or maybe you did it on purpose, wanting to follow me..."

Teacher Ran stopped talking halfway.

She knew she had said something she shouldn't have, and her whole face turned red.

Chen Xiangdong asked jokingly.

"What do you want to talk to you about?"

Teacher Ran blushed and shyly cursed.

"Chen Xiangdong, why are you so bad?"

"You're getting married next week. How dare you joke with me like this? Aren't you afraid that your wife will be angry?"

Chen Xiangdong sighed.

"Do you think I should be happy to get married?"

"Actually, I have a secret that I have never told you. I was forced into this marriage..."

Teacher Ran's heart skipped a beat and his heartbeat began to accelerate.

"How were you forced?"

Then Chen Xiangdong began to slowly tell a story full of lies.
