Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 58 Will Jiang Hongjun Regret Returning to the City?

At this time, Jiang Yun was indeed discussing with his second brother whether to continue the hospitalization of his third brother, Jiang Hongjun.

Just as the nurse surnamed Wu said, they are short of money right now. Yesterday, Jiang Hongwei went to borrow money from Qi Hongsheng, but unexpectedly, Qi Hongsheng was also short of money because of the money he lost before, and he didn't have any extra money to lend them.

In addition, Jiang Yun and Jiang Hongwei went to the brigade leader yesterday to ask for a loan. Although the brigade leader agreed, he could not decide the specific amount of the loan on his own.

When Jiang Hongwei went to the brigade headquarters to withdraw the money last night, the brigade accountant said that considering it was for medical treatment, the money could be lent, but only ten yuan. After all, some farm tools needed to be replaced later, and some funds needed to be reserved for the year-end distribution of work points to all the commune members. Otherwise, if the money was lent out, the team members would come looking for trouble when they couldn't pay the work points. Who could bear that responsibility?

Jiang Hongwei was left looking dejected and could only helplessly take the ten yuan back to the hospital.

Now, including the ten yuan in Jiang Yun's hand, they only have twenty yuan in total, which is far too little, and the brother and sister are very worried.

After all, they not only have to pay for medical expenses, regular check-up fees after discharge, and the cost of necessary medications, but also because the weather is about to turn cold, and the three siblings haven't prepared any winter supplies yet.

Originally, this speculation was mainly for winter supplies, but it all came to nothing, and they even lost their initial investment.

The brother and sister discussed it for a long time outside the ward and finally decided to take Jiang Hongjun back to the educated youth compound and not stay in the hospital anymore.

After all, Jiang Hongjun only injured his leg. As long as there are no major accidents and he comes in regularly to change the dressing, it will not have a significant impact on the recovery of his leg injury.

So when Feng Qingqing ran into Nurse Wu at the hospital entrance around noon, she heard that Jiang Hongjun had been discharged.

Feng Qingqing thought to herself, "That's really fast, several hours faster than I expected. I wonder if the days back at the educated youth compound will be as smooth as they imagined, and I wonder if Jiang Hongjun will regret not returning to the city later."

Feng Qingqing sneered inwardly. He would definitely regret it, but it would be too late then. There was no medicine for regret in this world.

During her lunch break, Feng Qingqing went to the state-run restaurant, bought two steamed buns, ate a quick bite, and then headed in the direction of He Yongxia's mother-in-law's house.

However, Feng Qingqing didn't plan to go to the same big tree as yesterday to chat with the older women today. She had other things to do.

As she approached the alley next to the rubber factory's residential compound, she looked around and saw several children, aged seven or eight, with the oldest being only eleven or twelve, playing hide-and-seek.

She gently waved to them, and the children hesitated when they saw a strange older sister beckoning them over. But when they saw her take out a handful of candy, they all ran over as fast as they could.

Feng Qingqing didn't mince words. She first explained her purpose, saying that she was an officer at the county's cultural station and that the station was currently working on a model opera about everyday family matters. She had come to our commune to collect some materials.

Feng Qingqing casually made up a fake identity; when traveling, one's identity is always self-given.

He told the children that if he was interested in what they were saying, he could not only turn it into a play, but also give them a piece of candy.

Whether it's acting or not, we don't know, but the real sweetness is right in front of this older sister.

It would have been better if she hadn't said it. After she did, the children rushed to be the first to start. Feng Qingqing told them not to rush and to line up, saying that everyone would get their turn.

So the children began giving their everyday reports about the surrounding area within a radius of two or three kilometers.

"Widow Li and her daughter-in-law got into another argument this morning over who ate an extra bite of food..."

"Last night, Aunt Zhang from next door got into another argument with Uncle Li over who should get up in the middle of the night to soothe the baby..."

"Grandma Li scolded her daughter-in-law again, saying she was lazy, greedy, and didn't do anything..."

Suddenly, a clear, melodious little girl shouted:

"Grandma Lin scolded Aunt He again last night..."

Feng Qingqing was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected to actually run into someone like that. Lin Guiying, on the other hand, acted quite quickly, making her move so soon.

She brought the little girl, who looked to be about ten years old, to her side and carefully asked about He Yongxia's family situation. However, the little girl was not very old and only vaguely remembered things like work and money. She also said that the argument was very fierce and Aunt He even cried.

After listening to the girl's description, Feng Qingqing roughly knew that Lin Guiying must have mentioned the job transfer to He Yongxia when she got back.

Feng Qingqing's guess was correct. After hearing Feng Qingqing's remarks yesterday noon, Lin Guiying thought about it more and more and found it to be true and reasonable. For her, it was truly a risk-free and highly profitable deal.

In addition, her youngest daughter has graduated from high school this year and hasn't found a job yet. The couple was worried at home when this unexpected opportunity came to them.

Lin Guiying didn't think much about it. During dinner that evening, when everyone was there, she brought up the idea of ​​changing jobs. Of course, before she said it, she thought about it. She realized that her eldest daughter-in-law might be reluctant to give up her job, so she came up with a compromise.

“Yongxia, didn’t you say a few days ago that you wanted to borrow fifty yuan from Mom to give to your mother? I thought about it, after all, we are in-laws, how can we not help with such a small thing? We are all family, we can’t just stand by and watch.”

After she said this, everyone around was shocked. What had gotten into his wife (mother) that she would offer to lend money to her daughter-in-law (sister-in-law)?

But after hearing about the job, I finally understood. I knew it! So that's what they were waiting for.

He Yongxia was even more shocked than they were when she heard the end of the story. Her mother-in-law actually wanted to take away her job for no reason. Was this something a normal person would do?

Moreover, why should she get this job? She earned it through her own merit.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started arguing, while the others watched from the sidelines. Only Zhong Xingxue wanted to chime in but couldn't get a word in edgewise.

The matter hasn't been settled yet, but Lin Guiying has long controlled the family finances and is known for her absolute authority, so this matter is likely to cause trouble.

After overhearing the girl's few words, Feng Qingqing roughly understood that Lin Guiying had brought up the matter, so she could continue to make arrangements for the follow-up.

After getting the answer she wanted, Feng Qingqing gave the girl two candies and, seeing that it was getting late, went back to the hospital.

In the afternoon, Feng Qingqing said goodbye to Dr. He from the internal medicine department, saying that she wouldn't be coming to the internal medicine department that afternoon because she was short on time and had to go to other departments for further study.

Dr. He didn't say anything, just gave a faint "hmm," but just as Feng Qingqing was about to walk out the door, she heard a voice behind her:

"If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come and find me."

After saying that, he lowered his head to read and didn't say another word.
