Chapter 207 Liu Haizhong gets a lesson for his idle talk
In the courtyard, as the sun sets, the busy day gradually comes to an end.
Most people finish a day's work and return home exhausted.
After dinner, the courtyard returned to its former bustle.
Neighbors gathered in groups of three or five to chat and discuss what happened during the day.
In this day and age, without television or mobile phone entertainment, communicating with neighbors is the greatest pastime.
Today, the whole alley is buzzing with discussion.
Because a big thing happened in the steel mill - Jia Dongxu was injured in the workshop!
"Have you heard? Jia Dongxu was scalded by molten steel in the factory, and a layer of skin was burned off!"
"Oh my god! The molten steel is thousands of degrees. It must hurt when it pours on my body!"
"He bullies many people every day. This is retribution!"
The people in the yard were talking to each other, with expressions of surprise or gloating on their faces.
After all, the Jia family has always been unpopular.
From Jia Dongxu to his mother Jia Zhang, and then to the naughty little stick character, none of them is likable.
On the contrary, many people dislike them and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Now that they heard that Jia Dongxu was disabled, some people couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
"Hey, what are you guys talking about? It's so lively?" A familiar voice interrupted.
Everyone looked back and found that it was Liu Haizhong who had just returned home from get off work.
You know, he is a well-informed person in the factory. If anything happens in the village, you can always go to him!
Yan Bugui saw that it was Liu Haizhong who came back, so he hurried to greet him and asked, "Old Liu, I heard that Dongxu had an accident in the workshop? Do you know what happened?"
When this was mentioned, Liu Haizhong's expression suddenly became serious.
He sighed and said, "Oh, that's right. Dongxu was making steel in the workshop today. I don't know what happened, but he got splashed with molten steel. He was almost burned to death. He is still in the hospital for emergency treatment!"
"Ah? So serious?" Yan Bugui and everyone else took a breath of cold air.
Even though Jia Dongxu was not a good person on weekdays, no one dared to take matters of human life lightly.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail," someone asked impatiently.
Seeing that everyone was very curious, Liu Haizhong recounted what happened during the day in vivid detail.
He gestured with his hands and said with great emotion:
"At that time, I was working nearby, and suddenly I heard a loud crash, followed by Jia Dongxu's screams!
I ran over and saw him lying on the ground, his pants were burned off, his legs were red, and a large area of skin was burned off!
He was howling in agony, and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green!"
When Liu Haizhong was moved, he couldn't help shuddering, and recalled the tragic scene at that time, with lingering fears.
Everyone was horrified and turned pale when they heard this.
Everyone knows that the molten steel is at least a thousand degrees. If it is poured on your body, it is like pouring gasoline. If you don't die, you will at least lose a layer of skin.
"So he wasn't scalded to death?" someone asked in a trembling voice.
"He's not dead, but he's almost dead," Liu Haizhong sighed. "I heard from people at the scene that Jia Dongxu's legs may not be saved. He will be paralyzed for the rest of his life."
"Alas, this is retribution!" Someone sighed with gloating, "He has done many evil things in his daily life, and now God can't stand it anymore!"
"That's right! He bullied men and women, cheated people, and did all kinds of bad things. He deserves retribution!" someone echoed.
"Can you please be quiet for a moment?" A rough voice interrupted the discussion.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yi Zhonghai carrying Jia Zhang, who had appeared at the entrance of the alley at some point in time.
Jia Zhang's face was covered with traces of tears, and she looked much more haggard. There was no trace of her former fierce and domineering appearance.
Yi Zhonghai's face also looked very ugly, and his brows were twisted into a knot.
Seeing this, Liu Haizhong hurried over and said sincerely: "Sister-in-law, don't be sad. Dongxu is young and will definitely get through it.
What are we doing here?"
Jia Zhang raised her bloodshot eyes, glared at Liu Haizhong viciously, spat, and cursed:
"Liu Haizhong, right? You're not a good talker! It's already this hour, and you're still making sarcastic remarks? If your workshop had not implemented adequate safety measures, this wouldn't have happened. Do you think you're right?"
As Jia Zhang said this, she shook off Yi Zhonghai's support, limped forward, and reached out to grab Liu Haizhong's face.
"You bastard, you made my son disabled, how are you going to compensate me? Huh? Just tell me!" Jia Zhang screamed hysterically, with tears and saliva flying.
Her shrewish look frightened Liu Haizhong and everyone else.
Everyone rushed to separate the two, and after a while they finally pinned Jia Zhang down.
"Aunt Zhang, please talk nicely and calm down!" The onlookers tried to persuade her kindly, fearing that Jia Zhang would really hurt someone.
Yi Zhonghai also hurried forward, helped Jia Zhang up, and complained in a low voice: "What are you doing? Is it appropriate to make a scene in front of so many people?"
Jia Zhang glared at Yi Zhonghai, cursing: "Isn't it just to let them be quiet for a while? These people must be making up stories about our Jia family again! If anyone dares to gossip again, I will never forgive him!"
After saying that, she glanced around viciously, her gaze was sharper than a knife.
Suddenly, all the onlookers were silent, not daring to make a sound.
No one wanted to provoke this shrew, for fear that she would slap them in the face.
Seeing that everyone was listless, Jia Zhang finally calmed down a little and followed Yi Zhonghai into the yard.
The two discussed for a while, took some clean clothes, and went straight to the hospital.
Along the way, Jia Zhang kept chattering about the factory and Liu Haizhong. Her sharp tongue was faster than a machine gun.
Yi Zhonghai sighed beside him, his expression becoming more and more serious.
He knew in his heart that once Jia Dongxu got into trouble, subsequent troubles would only follow.
Apart from anything else, just because of Jia Zhang's hot-tempered temper, the factory will definitely have to deal with her.
Not to mention the issues of compensation and resettlement, I'm afraid he will have to deal with all of them.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt a headache.
Why do I feel like I have brought trouble upon myself?
……
On the other side, the operation in the hospital was nearing its end.
The surgeon walked out of the operating room exhausted and reported the situation to Qin Huairu who had been waiting for a long time.
"The operation was successful and saved his life, but his legs were amputated at a high level and he will definitely be disabled for life."
As the doctor spoke, he took off his blood-stained surgical gown.
That tired tone seemed to be telling of Jia Dongxu's unfortunate fate.
Qin Huairu felt dizzy when she heard this.
She subconsciously touched her bulging belly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Her husband was disabled, their future was uncertain, and she was pregnant. All of a sudden, all the burdens fell on her, a weak woman.
Qin Huairu fell into a chair, her shoulders twitching as she cried, looking so helpless and confused.
……
After settling Jia Dongxu down, Qin Huairu walked out of the ward in a daze, preparing to go to the pharmacy to get some dressing drugs and gauze.
As she hurriedly turned the stairs, she almost bumped into someone.
