After some time, Yi Zhonghai also came over with Jia Zhangshi and several other women.
After waiting for more than an hour, a doctor finally came out and said, "Thanks to our efforts, the patient is temporarily out of danger. Whether he or she will regain consciousness is up to fate."
Madam Jia cried, “My son, you can’t abandon us!”
After asking a few questions, Director Yang learned that both of Jia Dongxu's legs had been shattered and had been amputated.
The patient also suffered multiple internal organ injuries, and the hospital has assembled the best doctors for a joint consultation, which is the best they can do right now.
He Yuzhu remained there, still puzzled, but since the incident had already occurred, he couldn't ask anyone else for clarification.
She had a guess in her heart: it was because she was in a bad mood these days that Jia Zhangshi actually married Xu Damao.
Whether in the courtyard houses or the alleyways, everyone was talking about it.
The same applies to steel rolling mills, which may explain why Jia Dongxu became disoriented and made a mistake.
Just as He Yuzhu was about to leave, Jia Zhangshi suddenly pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed, "You vixen, it must be because you kept Dongxu up all day and drained his body that this happened."
Then he started wailing and cursing Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu was stunned at first, then she also started crying, and it took her a while to remember to refute.
While crying, she said that Jia Zhangshi was unfaithful and had an affair with Xu Damao, who was younger than her own son, at such an old age.
This made Jia Dongxu feel extremely ashamed, and he couldn't get a good rest every day.
The former mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were hurling insults at each other outside the operating room, using all sorts of foul language.
In the blink of an eye, the two women, mother and daughter-in-law, were separated.
Everyone was in a bind when the operating room door opened. The doctor said the surgery was successful, but the patient still needed to be transferred to the intensive care unit.
They couldn't visit either, so after discussing it, they all decided to go home and end the day's business there.
He Yuzhu thought that Jia Dongxu could escape this calamity, but he didn't expect him to hold out for a whole day.
The hospital informed them the next day that Jia Dongxu had quietly left.
When He Yuzhu arrived at the courtyard, Jia Dongxu had already been brought back from the hospital.
Although some workers at the steel rolling mill have been laid off, and the number of workers has decreased significantly, the corresponding staff is still quite complete.
A funeral committee was established, and the steel mill took full responsibility for the funeral arrangements. All supplies, including the purchase of a burial plot, were handled perfectly without the family having to worry about anything.
He Daqing asked, "Zhuzi, are you still going to attend the funeral?"
He Yuzhu said, "Although Jia Dongxu is unreliable and even tried to harm me before, once a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. Let's not dwell on the past. We can't play along with the dead. We should at least see him off on his final journey."
He Daqing nodded. "I'm afraid He Yuzhu will hold a grudge against him for what happened before, and he won't even attend his funeral. That would cause gossip among the other people in the courtyard."
"Jia Dongxu did some foolish things before, but those things are in the past, and we should always look forward."
He Yuzhu nodded. He and Jia Dongxu were kindred spirits, and they couldn't go too far.
Even if you don't care about Jia Dongxu, you should at least consider Qin Huairu's feelings; after all, they were friends with benefits.
He Yuzhu asked, "What arrangements has the steel rolling mill made for the aftermath?"
He Daqing said, "According to the rules, anyone who dies from a work-related injury will receive 12 months' salary, and their minor children will be taken care of. Their job will also be retained, and as long as the steel rolling mill exists, there will be a place for them to take over."
He Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were currently at odds, and he was afraid that there would be some more trouble over the pension.
They said, "It's difficult to decide who should receive the compensation for their family's death."
He Daqing paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, logically speaking, since Jia Zhangshi married out of the Jia family, she should be a member of the Xu family, and even her name should be Xu Zhangshi."
"Yes, Jia Zhangshi is currently Xu Damao's wife, so she shouldn't be eligible for a pension."
He Daqing said, "Jia Dongxu is a second-level worker, and his monthly salary is 38.6 yuan, which is more than 460 yuan a year. If Jia Zhangshi doesn't get a single penny, she definitely won't agree, after all, he is her son."
"Yes."
The two talked for a while, but couldn't come to any conclusion on the matter.
Finally, He Yuzhu said, "I'll pay for it, you don't need to pay."
He Daqing said, "I have money."
"These are all minor matters."
As the two came out, they heard an argument coming from the west wing.
He Yuzhu walked through the crowd of onlookers and into the house.
Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were arguing fiercely about the issue of compensation.
Just as He Yuzhu had guessed, Jia Zhangshi wanted to receive all the compensation money.
Qin Huairu and Zhou, the cadre sent by the factory to be in charge of this matter, said that Jia Zhangshi was already married and was now Xu Damao's wife. How could they let an outsider like her receive the pension?
Madam Jia shouted, "You vixen, your tail has finally been revealed! Ever since we got married, I knew you were an unfilial son. Are you trying to starve me to death?!"
Qin Huairu said, "I only know how to be filial to the Jia family's parents-in-law, how could I possibly be filial to Xu Damao's wife?"
"You..." Madam Jia was furious.
Yi Zhonghai said, "Huai Ru, no matter what, Jia Zhangshi is Jia Dongxu's biological mother. Now that her son has died, how will she take care of herself in her old age?"
“Yes, this money should be taken by Sister Jia,” Widow Bai chimed in.
"That's right, Qin Huairu, no matter what, you must acknowledge Jia Zhangdi as your mother-in-law."
"Qin Huairu, you have a job now and can earn money to support yourself, so you should be filial to your parents-in-law."
"..."
Immediately, everyone was advising Qin Huairu that the money should be kept by Jia Zhangshi.
Qin Huairu was furious. Why was everyone suddenly siding with Jia Zhangshi, and no one mentioned that Jia Zhangshi had remarried?
He Yuzhu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Wait a minute, Jia Zhangshi has already remarried, why aren't you saying anything?"
Yi Zhonghai said, "He Yuzhu, this is none of your business."
"So what's it to you?"
“Jia Dongxu is my apprentice, so of course I have the right to ask questions.”
He Yuzhu said, "Look at what you're saying. Qin Huairu is still an employee of our unit. As her supervisor, of course I have the right to ask about this."
"you..."
Yi Zhonghai paused for a moment and said, "Then let's do it this way, half for each of us."
He Yuzhu was still unwilling, saying, "Will you raise such a great pheasant in the future?"
Yi Zhonghai said, "He was still raised by his mother."
He Yuzhu said, "As the child's father, Jia Dongxu should of course raise the child. Although he is gone now, he cannot shirk his responsibility as a father. Don't you all agree?"
Yan Bugui said, "That's right."
He Yuzhu said, "So this compensation should also cover the cost of raising the baseball bats in the future."
Everyone nodded.
Yi Zhonghai said, "Then let's divide the money into three parts, one for Qin Huairu and two for Jia Zhangshi."
"Why should I?" Qin Huairu was truly unhappy.
Yi Zhonghai said, "You're so young, who knows if you'll remarry in the future? If you do remarry, then Banggeng will have to live with his grandmother, so his share of the money should be given to Jia Zhangshi for safekeeping."
Qin Huairu immediately said, "Uncle, you're just guessing. Even if I remarry and take Bangbang with me, he's still my flesh and blood. How could I possibly ignore him?"
Banggeng then said, "I'll stay with my mom."
Madam Jia immediately retorted angrily, "You ungrateful little brat! All these years of pampering you have been for nothing!"
Banggeng snorted and shouted, "Who told you to curse my mom every day?"
No matter what, in a child's heart, their mother is always the closest person, even if it's their father, they have to take a backseat, let alone their grandmother.
He Yuzhu told the cadre Zhou, "Jia Dongxu's family is quite special. His pension is divided into three parts. One part is given to Jia Dongxu's mother, Jia Zhangshi, and the other two parts are given to Jia Dongxu's wife, Qin Huairu."
Zhou nodded: "This distribution method is very good, and it will reduce many conflicts in the future."
Then he said, "Jia Dongxu's child is still too young to take over the job. So, Jia Dongxu's wife, would you be willing to go to the steel rolling mill to take over the job?"
Qin Huairu had already thought it through. Although she didn't earn much money working in the cafeteria, the job was relatively easy, and she had plenty of opportunities to eat more.
If you went to work in the workshop of a steel rolling mill, you would be exhausted and wouldn't even have enough to eat.
He shook his head and said, "I have a job now, so I won't go to the steel mill. I'll leave this job to Banggeng, and he can take over when he comes of age."
Officer Zhou said, "That's good. Now you can get a minor certificate and receive a subsidy of 10 yuan per month. You can collect it directly when the time comes."
Qin Huairu said, "Thank you, Officer Zhou, but we need to make it clear beforehand that this subsidy is only for me. I will not acknowledge it if you give it to anyone else."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Madam Jia.
Qin Huairu's meaning was clear: only she, as the mother, could receive the money; Banggeng's grandmother was not eligible.
Zhou nodded in agreement, then asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
Qin Huairu shook her head; that's how the factory rules are.
The deceased will receive a year's salary as a pension, and minor children will receive subsidies until they turn 18. Their jobs will also be retained.
