They were all so shocked that their mouths dropped open.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi was able to call Old Jia back.
Old Jia has been dead for many years.
If we alert him now, wouldn't that be courting death?
Everyone gathered together.
"Do you think she's really crazy? I heard that crazy people go around hitting people. We'd better be careful when she comes back."
"I heard that her daughter-in-law had a stomachache all night that night."
"It's just a conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how can you treat your daughter-in-law like this? It's a terrible thing!"
"It would be better to keep her in the mental hospital for a few more days."
"The hospital fees there are higher than in regular hospitals. Can the Jia family afford that much money?"
"Just don't come to my house to borrow it."
"Jia Dongxu's eye bags are almost drooping to the ground, and I can see he has gray hair. He must be worried."
"Even a good son would be worried sick if he had a mother like that."
He Hongyang arrived at the mental hospital.
He certainly didn't come to see Jia Zhangshi.
Go directly to the director of the mental hospital.
Did he think that was the end of it?
Jia Zhangshi has offended his precious daughter, and he will make her pay tenfold or a hundredfold!
We all belong to the health system, so we naturally know each other.
As soon as she saw He Hongyang arrive, she immediately grasped his hand.
"How do you have time to come here?"
“We have a neighbor named Zhang Cuihua who lives here.”
The dean nodded repeatedly when her name was mentioned.
Although Zhang Cuihua has only been here for a few days, everyone in the hospital knows her.
She kept insisting that she wasn't sick and kept demanding to be discharged from the hospital.
Several nurses and doctors worked together, and each time they had to tie her to the bed with ropes so she could have some peace and quiet.
"It seems she is quite ill; you need to increase the dosage of her medication."
"But she was so strong that several of us couldn't hold her down."
"Then let's just add the medicine to her food, so she can take it on time every day."
This is a good idea!
The dean nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to care so much about her, who is just your neighbor. It seems that what others said was true; Dr. He is indeed a kind-hearted person. We will definitely increase the dosage and keep an eye on her to make sure she takes her medicine on time!"
Previously, Jia Zhangshi still had lucid moments every day.
Ever since He Hongyang gave the hospital this idea.
After each meal, she felt drowsy and sleepy.
My brain isn't working properly anymore; I see double images of people.
Just as she was about to say that she wasn't sick and wanted to be discharged, someone pushed her onto the bed and forced medicine into her mouth!
I'm in a daze every day.
They can't even tell the difference between night and day.
The other patients in the same ward were talking nonsense every day, grabbing her hair and saying inexplicable things.
He grabbed her clothes, crying and shouting.
Jia Zhangshi was driven almost insane by the torment!
All she wants now is to get out of here as soon as possible.
She hopes her son will come to pick her up soon!
But since she moved in, Jia Dongxu hasn't come to visit even once.
The hospital bills were driving him crazy.
His mother was taking more and more medications, and the money she was spending was increasing.
He borrowed from everyone he could find.
I wanted to borrow from the He family, but I heard that He Hongyang's daughter also had a stomachache that night.
It's probably his mother's doing!
He was so frightened, fearing that He Hongyang would cause him trouble, that he didn't dare to go at all.
I want to borrow it from Yi Zhonghai's house.
But as soon as I entered the door, he yelled at me and kicked me out.
"You don't even acknowledge me as your master, you avoid me like the plague, and now you remember me when you need money, but you have no money!"
"All my money is earned through hard work; it's all my blood and sweat. I would never lend it to a lunatic!"
Jia Dongxu was so scolded that he didn't dare to talk back.
Everyone else in the courtyard wanted to stay as far away from him as possible.
We arrived at the steel rolling mill.
No one lent him any money.
He wasn't well-liked at the factory to begin with.
In addition, Sha Zhu told everyone that his mother had gone insane from the fear she had caused while performing a ritual to summon spirits at home, which is why she ended up in a mental hospital.
No one would lend him money.
It was clear that he couldn't borrow a single penny.
All I can do is stare at the things in my house.
We'll sell whatever we can.
But their house only had two rooms, and there was nothing of value inside.
The only major item was that sewing machine!
Upon hearing that he wanted to sell sewing machines, Qin Huairu almost slapped him across the face.
“I only married into your family because you had a sewing machine. Now that you’ve sold it, your family really has nothing of value left.”
"Sewing machines are rare items. To buy one now, you need not only money but also a sewing ticket. Ordinary people can't get their hands on one."
"If you dare to sell, I'll chop your hands off!"
What could Jia Dongxu do?
The only way to solve the family's immediate problem is to sell the sewing machine.
He kept coaxing Qin Huairu.
"Please let me sell it. If I don't, how will I pay for my mother's hospital bills?"
"Once I've saved up enough money, I'll definitely buy you an even better one."
Upon hearing this, she became furious.
Jia Zhangshi deserved to be hospitalized!
With the little money Jia Dongxu earns, his family can't even feed themselves, so how could they possibly afford to buy a sewing machine?
It was a complete lie to deceive her!
"Well, so you've learned to lie now. Tell me, with the little money you earn each month, how can you afford to buy another sewing machine?"
"Your mother went to a mental hospital? Bah! It's so shameful that it's because she cursed her own daughter-in-law. She didn't expect it to hurt her in the end."
"I think she deserves it. She should stay in a mental hospital for the rest of her life!"
Jia Dongxu saw a crowd of people moving around outside the window.
Everyone knew that they had heard their family arguing and were curious to see what was going on.
Put your hand near your mouth.
"Shh! Stop talking. Haven't we embarrassed our family enough already?"
"It's not like I'm the one who lost face. Anyway, I don't care, you just can't sell this sewing machine!"
"Please, just let me sell it, it's not a big deal..."
Jia Dongxu suddenly remembered that his mother had a bracelet that had been kept at the bottom of a box.
I said that before.
The bracelet will be given to Qin Huairu as long as she gives birth to a son.
However, she did not get pregnant for a long time, so the matter was put on hold.
He simply opened the box and took out the bracelet from inside.
"Here, is this okay?"
Although it's just a silver bracelet, it looks like an old item.
It looked incredibly fitting on Qin Huairu's wrist.
"For me?"
“That’s right. Before I married you, my mother told me that this was a tradition passed down to her daughter-in-law.”
"So this was originally mine, why are you only taking it out now?"
"It's all because you didn't give our family a son or daughter."
Okay!
Unexpectedly, Madam Jia had a trick up her sleeve.
She won't act until she sees the benefit.
"I didn't have children, is that my fault? You're partly to blame too!"
Jia Dongxu's head was about to explode.
I've had enough troubles these past few days.
He didn't want to argue about this anymore.
"I've already given you the bracelet, so please agree to let me sell it!"
Qin Huairu didn't care about the sewing machine at all. She put the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't wait to take a walk around the yard to show it off.
Wait until Jia Dongxu brings out the sewing machine.
Liu Haizhong, the second aunt, and the third aunt all came.
They had long envied the Jia family for having a sewing machine.
Whenever I need to do something involving needle and thread, I want to use a sewing machine.
Jia Zhangshi always said with a proud look on her face.
“Look around, every family in this courtyard has a sewing machine. Once you leave the He family, you’re in the Jia family.”
"Use it carefully, don't break it for my family, or you'll have to pay for it!"
When they heard that Jia Dongxu was going to sell sewing machines, they all gathered around.
If he is really willing to buy, they can buy it from him.
After all, buying from him doesn't require sewing plane tickets.
Moreover, Jia Dongxu needs the money urgently, so he will definitely sell it cheaply.
