Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 616 Half a Bun

"Oh, this smells so good!" Jia Zhang muttered softly while eating, completely forgetting that she was stealing. She was eating enthusiastically when suddenly a cold wind blew in and the kitchen window was blown open at some point. "A-choo!" Jia Zhang sneezed loudly, but she didn't care and continued to eat the steamed bun in her hand. But after a while, she felt something was wrong with half of her body, numb and unable to use strength. "What's going on?" Jia Zhang was a little panicked. She wanted to stand up, but found that her legs were soft and she couldn't stand at all. She reached out to support the table, but fell to the ground with a loud "bang". This loud noise broke the tranquility of the courtyard. The first person to hear the sound was Yi Zhonghai, an old man who lived next door. He was awakened by the sudden sound, and was startled. He quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and walked towards the source of the sound. Yi Zhonghai came to the kitchen door of the third uncle's house, pushed the door open and was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw Jia Zhang lying on the ground with half a steamed bun in her mouth, looking very funny. "Jia Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Yi Zhonghai asked loudly. Jia Zhang wanted to answer, but found that her mouth was out of control and could only make some unclear sounds. Yi Zhonghai realized that something was wrong, he hurried back to the yard and shouted loudly: "Come quickly! Jia Zhang is in trouble!" Soon, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, the third uncle Yan Bugui and other neighbors were awakened and ran out of their homes. Everyone came to the kitchen of the third uncle's house and saw Jia Zhang's appearance, and they couldn't help laughing. The second uncle Liu Haizhong said with a smile: "What is this Jia Zhang doing in someone else's kitchen at night, and she is in such a state." The third uncle Yan Bugui looked at the messed up kitchen of his home with heartache and said: "My things, this old lady is really..." Yi Zhonghai was calmer. He said: "Don't laugh, hurry up and see what's wrong with her." Everyone stopped laughing and gathered around to check on Jia Zhang's condition. After some examination, everyone guessed that Jia Zhang might have had a stroke. "What can I do?" Qin Huairu hurried over after hearing the news. Seeing her mother-in-law lying on the ground, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall. "Hurry up and send her to the hospital!" Yi Zhonghai said. So everyone hurriedly lifted Jia Zhang onto the cart and rushed towards the hospital. Along the way, Jia Zhang was lying on the cart, regretting it in her heart. She wondered why she was so greedy and made herself look like this for a piece of steamed bun. But it was too late to regret now. She could only look at everyone eagerly, hoping that she would get better soon. Arriving at the hospital, the doctor gave Jia Zhang emergency treatment. After some examination, the doctor determined that Jia Zhang was paralyzed on one side of her body due to a stroke and needed to be hospitalized for a period of time. During the time that Jia Zhang was in the hospital, the neighbors of the courtyard were very busy. Everyone took turns to go to the hospital to take care of her, and Qin Huairu accompanied her mother-in-law in the hospital every day. Although Jia Zhang was not very popular on weekdays, everyone still lent a hand at this time. In the hospital, Jia Zhang's life was not easy. Not only did she have to endure physical pain, but she also had to endure the strange eyes of other patients and family members. Every time someone asked her how she had a stroke, she was embarrassed to say that she was blown by the cold wind because she stole food, and could only deal with it vaguely. After a period of treatment, Jia Zhang's condition gradually improved. She was finally able to be discharged from the hospital. The moment she returned to the courtyard, she felt like she was a new person. Since then, Jia Zhang never dared to go out to steal food at night again. She also realized how ridiculous her previous behavior was, and began to control her temper, getting along with her neighbors much better than before. The fact that she had a stroke because of stealing food became a topic of conversation among the neighbors in the courtyard, and whenever they talked about it, they couldn't help but laugh.

Factory turmoil: the crisis and turning point of marriage On that hot afternoon, the courtyard was filled with a lazy atmosphere. Jia Dongxu hummed a little tune and walked in from outside with a brisk pace, with a smile on his face, which was completely different from the tired look when he usually went home. Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes in the yard, inadvertently looked up and saw her husband in this state, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. "Dongxu, why are you so happy today?" Qin Huairu asked while rubbing the clothes. "Nothing, I just got something in the factory." Jia Dongxu's eyes dodged, and he perfunctorily said something, and then hurried back to the house. Qin Huairu looked at her husband's back, and her doubts became stronger. She and Jia Dongxu have been married for many years, and she is familiar with her husband's every move. This obvious absent-mindedness must be hiding something from her. As the days passed, Jia Dongxu's abnormality became more and more obvious. He began to work overtime frequently, came home later and later, and sometimes had a strange smell of perfume on his body. Qin Huairu's uneasiness was also increasing, and a bad premonition came to her mind. Finally, by chance, Qin Huairu's guess was confirmed. That day, she went to Jia Dongxu's factory to deliver the lunch box that had fallen to him. As soon as she walked to the door of the workshop, she heard a burst of laughter from inside. She looked in curiously, but saw a heartbreaking scene-Jia Dongxu was talking and laughing with a young and beautiful female worker in the workshop. The two behaved very intimately. The female worker patted Jia Dongxu's shoulders from time to time, and her eyes were full of admiration. Qin Huairu felt a "buzz" in her head, and the lunch box in her hand almost fell to the ground. She held back her tears and turned and ran back home. Along the way, the scene she had just seen kept emerging in her mind, and the anger and grievances in her heart surged like a tide. That night, Jia Dongxu returned home very late as usual. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qin Huairu sitting in the dim light, with a terribly gloomy face. "You still remember to come back?" Qin Huairu said coldly. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Jia Dongxu felt a little uneasy, but still pretended to be calm. "Don't pretend, Jia Dongxu! I went to your factory today. What's going on between you and that female worker?"

Qin Huairu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked loudly. When Jia Dongxu heard this, his face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't say anything. "Speak up! Are you worthy of me and this family?" Qin Huairu became more and more excited, and tears burst out of her eyes. Jia Dongxu was silent for a moment and whispered: "We are just ordinary friends, just chatting, don't think too much."
