Chapter 383 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Da Mao, Zhu Zhu is just joking with you, that's all right. I'll ask him to apologize to you. As an adult, forgive him for once." .”

Hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He pointed at his nose and asked indignantly: "You call this a joke? Okay, you can forgive him if you want me to do it. You let Silly Zhu do it too." I’ll say it this way.”

When Yi Zhonghai was still about to say something, Silly Zhu jumped out and said, "Xu Damao, you kid is so greedy. If you hadn't kept your mouth shut and deliberately insulted me and Sister Qin, wouldn't I have had trouble with you?"

After saying that, he grabbed Yi Zhonghai and walked out, and said confidently: "What do you care about him? This man deserves it. Don't talk nonsense to him. Just do whatever you want, I'm not afraid. !”

Yi Zhonghai was just showing off to outsiders, but he knew very well in his heart that with Xu Damao's petty temperament, he would definitely not let it go afterward.

So with a little persuasion from Silly Zhu, he followed him out of the public toilet.

Seeing the two people coming out, the interested person asked: "Silly Zhu, did Xu Damao eat shit?"

Silly Zhu pulled a passage out of the crowd with his hands, and laughed and cursed: "It's gone, it's gone, what's the point of eating shit? You are all really idle. Don't you even go to work? Are you careful to deduct your wages later?"

Although these words were not stated clearly, the meaning was already very clear, and the onlookers were immediately in an uproar.

"I'll go, isn't it? Xu Damao really ate shit?"

"I must have eaten it. This is what Shazhu admitted personally."

"I admire you, I admire you! Xu Damao is really awesome. He is so ruthless that he can even say this!"

"Bullshit! Xu Damao was forced to do it, okay? If you want to be ruthless, you have to be stupid. He's not afraid of Xu Damao risking his life with him?"

"Tch, Xu Damao is just a coward. He was beaten to death by Silly Zhu and he didn't dare to say anything. So what does it matter if he eats shit?"

"Brother, tell me about the desperate situation."

"Hey, our family also lives in South Tongluo Lane. I heard the person in their courtyard said..."

"Stop talking, Xu Damao is out!"

"..."

Listening to the whispers in his ears, Xu Damao wanted to die. In his heart, he had never hated Silly Zhu as much as he did at this moment.

"Silly Zhu, I'm in love with you. As long as I, Xu Damao, are here for a day, you will never have a good life in this life!"

Just when Xu Damao was furious, Qin Huairu finally walked through the crowd and came to the front. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally walked closer, took out a handkerchief from her body, and wiped him with her nausea.

"Da Mao, why don't you go home?"

Xu Damao frowned and asked angrily: "Why, do you think I've embarrassed you?"

Qin Huairu also had a temper. She immediately threw the handkerchief at Xu Damao's face and said angrily: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin. He doesn't know a good heart and doesn't care about you!"

After saying that, she twisted her waist and pretended to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Damao pulled him back: "Who told you to leave? Didn't you see that my face is still dirty?"

Qin Huairu was speechless. She wanted to leave, but was worried that Xu Damao would cause trouble for her when he returned home, so she had to wipe him again reluctantly.

Seeing that the excitement was over, the onlookers began to disperse one after another. With the return of these people, the gossip about Xu Damao eating food quickly spread throughout the factory, and had a tendency to spread further outside the factory.

After Xu Damao finally cleaned up the stains on his body with the help of Qin Huairu, he became a super celebrity. Whenever his co-workers saw him, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

Fortunately, Xu Damao has no other advantages, but he is thick-skinned, so even with so many strange looks, he still chooses to stick to his post. This spirit is really admirable.

His eyes turned to Banggeng again. Ever since he saw Xu Damao hiding money in the morning, his heart had been itching like a cat scratching him. He finally stayed up until school was over at noon. He couldn't hold it in any longer and returned as quickly as possible. Got home.

After casually dealing with Mr. Jia and Zhang, Banggeng dug out his treasure box from under the bed and took out two thin wires, which were his tools for unlocking.

It has to be said that this kid is indeed a bit crooked. He only saw Sha Zhu do it once before, and he learned the trick of sliding the door and picking the lock without any teacher.

Now that it is used on the door of Xu Damao's house, it is considered God's will.

Back to the subject, and after everything was ready, Banggian came to the door of Xu Damao's house in the backyard. While there was no one around, he took out the wire and poked the lock core, and opened the door lock easily.

Then, Banggeng slipped into the room sideways, and based on what he saw in the morning, he went straight to the closet, lay down and groped around.

A moment later, a package appeared in Banggian's hand. He couldn't wait to open it. When he saw the contents clearly, his breathing stopped for a moment.

Although he knew gold was a good thing, Banggeng's attention was still focused on the pile of money.

I counted carefully, my dear, the total is 430 yuan.

"I didn't expect that bastard Xu Damao to be so rich. He has more coffins than my grandma."

While talking to himself, Banggeng put all the money and gold bars into his arms, then stuffed the package back, and restored the wardrobe to its original state.

After doing this, he deliberately walked aside and observed it several times. After feeling that it was exactly the same as before, he turned around and left with satisfaction, planning to find a place to hide the money so that his grandma would not find it and confiscate it.

However, what Bangge didn't know was that he thought he was doing it extremely secretly, but he was still noticed by someone. This person was none other than Liu Haizhong's youngest son Liu Guangfu.

It turns out that Liu Guangfu just graduated from the third grade of junior high school this year. Since he failed to enter high school and couldn't find a job, he stayed at home doing nothing.

At noon that day, after lunch, Liu Guangfu was sent by his mother to clean up the dishes. What a coincidence, because the kitchen window of Liu's house faced Xu Damao's house, so as soon as Banggeng arrived in the backyard, he let him take a closer look. With.

Thanks to Banggeng's reputation, Liu Guangfu could tell with just one glance that the boy clearly wanted to steal something. He initially wanted to stop him loudly, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to wait and see.

So, after Banggeng entered Xu Damao's house, Liu Guangfu also left the house, tiptoed to the window, and took a closer look at what happened inside.

As the old saying goes, money moves people's hearts. When he saw Banggeng getting so much money from Xu Damao's house, Liu Guangfu's eyes turned red, and he immediately had the idea of ​​getting a share of the money, or even snatching it away.

Liu Guangfu was not stupid. He knew well that he could not do anything in the courtyard, so he secretly fell behind Banggeng and wanted to see what he would do with the money after he got it.

Banggeng's next move could be said to have played into Liu Guangfu's hands. This kid had a huge sum of money in his pocket, but he walked straight out of the hospital without entering the house.

When he came outside, Bangge looked back a few times to make sure that no one was paying attention to him, and then cautiously came to an abandoned yard at the end of the alley.

It is said that this place was the home of a high-ranking official in the past. However, due to the long disrepair, the house was dilapidated and the cost of repair was too high. Over time, it became vacant and gradually became a play place for nearby children.

As a frequent visitor here, Bangge was naturally very familiar with this place. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the backyard and came to the innermost wing.After a few weeks of patrolling, his eyes finally locked on the raised floor tiles in the corner of the house.

I saw that he first used all his strength to pull up the floor tiles, and then found a broken piece of tile and dug deeply.

In a short while, a two-inch deep pit was dug with a stick. He made a few gestures with his hands to find out the depth, and then he took out his belongings after he felt it was enough to hide things.

Counting the money again, Banggan thought for a while, took out 32 pieces, put the remaining 400 yuan and two gold bars into the pit, filled it with soil, stamped it with his feet, and finally laid the floor tiles. go back.

After all this was done, he breathed a sigh of relief, touched the money in his pocket, left the courtyard with satisfaction, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

Behind him, Liu Guangfu, who had witnessed the entire process, followed him into the yard with a proud look on his face.

…………

When eating late that night, Mrs. Jia Zhang was the first to notice something was wrong with her grandson, because in the past he was like a starving ghost reincarnated, but today he had no appetite for the first time.

If it’s just him, it’s okay, but if it’s the same with Xiaodang and Huaihua, then there’s a problem.

"My dear grandson, are the mushy sweet potatoes not to your liking?"

Banggeng flipped around in the bowl with chopsticks and replied absently: "No, Xiaodang and I just ate at my mother's place."

Jia Zhang was startled when she heard this: "That's not right. I just saw your mother come back for a while. In such a short time, she has already prepared the meal?"

"Uh..." Banggeng rolled his eyes and opened his mouth to lie: "Xu Damao bought buns at night, and my mother gave us two each. Isn't that right, Xiaodang?"

Xiao Dang hurriedly replied: "My brother is right, the big meat buns are delicious."

Believing it to be true, Mrs. Jia Zhang threw her chopsticks down and cursed angrily: "What a good Qin Huairu, she doesn't respect me even though she has delicious food, she deserves to be damned!"

As she said that, she turned to look at her two granddaughters and scolded her fiercely: "And you two losers, you actually learned to eat alone at a young age. Do you still think of me as a grandma in your eyes?"

The two sisters were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Just when they didn't know how to deal with this situation, the old man Huang next to them suddenly made a move.

But when he saw him knocking the bowl heavily on the table, he scolded with a dark face: "It's not over, is it? I can't stop your mouth even if I have food?"

Now it was Jia Zhang's turn to be scared. She couldn't help but shrink her neck and whispered: "Isn't this what I'm trying to do to educate the children and let them know how to respect the elderly."

"Snapped!"

Old Man Huang clapped his hands, blew his beard and glared: "You dare to talk back to me after I've gone against you? Okay, you're not allowed to eat tonight!"

"Ah...this?"

"You can't eat anything like this or that! If I say you can't eat it, you can't eat it! Now, get out of here right now, lest I get nauseated by looking at you!"

Under Old Man Huang's intimidation, Mrs. Jia Zhang obediently put down her bowls and chopsticks, walked out of the room with a low eyebrow, and stood on the steps in front of her house.

Suddenly, a scent of aroma spread into Jia Zhang's nostrils. She smelled it as meat. She subconsciously licked her lips, followed the smell and walked to the backyard, finally stopping not far from Zhao Ye's house.

If someone else was stewing meat, Jia Zhang would definitely go there shamelessly to see if she could take advantage of it, but if it were Zhao Ye, she really didn't have the courage and could only look in with envy.

"You bastard, you don't know how to share some meat with me. I'll eat you two to death!"

Just as Jia Zhang was secretly complaining, Qin Huairu happened to walk out of the Xu family.

"Mom, you're not eating at home, why are you here?"

Naturally, Mrs. Jia Zhang would not admit that she was kicked out, so she simply said, "Let me ask you, why did you buy the meat buns and not show any respect to me?"

"Meat buns?" Qin Huairu froze on the spot and asked confused, "When did I buy meat buns?"

Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she said in a bad tone: "Pretend, keep pretending!"

Qin Huairu cried out that she was wronged: "What am I pretending to be? The millet porridge I made tonight is still cooking in the pot. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself!"

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't look like she was lying, Jia Zhang couldn't help but be stunned: "Since you didn't buy it, where did Banggan and Xiaodang eat it?"

"What, you said Banggeng and the others ate meat buns at night?"

"Yes, the three of them didn't even want to eat when they got home. I asked them, and they all told me that it was you who gave them steamed buns to eat."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and thought of a possibility.

"Huairu, do you think Banggeng went to Shazhu's house..."

Qin Huairu didn't give Jia Zhang a chance to finish her words, so she immediately interrupted her: "Mom, stop talking, be careful not to be overheard."

Then, she looked around, and after seeing no outsiders, she whispered: "Don't make any announcement in advance, wait until I ask the stick."

Mrs. Jia Zhang agreed: "It's time to ask that boy. He dares to lie to his grandma even if his hair is not even long."

After making the decision, Qin Huairu went to Jia's house in the middle courtyard without hesitation, slipped the three Banggeng brothers and sisters to a deserted place outside the courtyard, and asked in a face-to-face manner: "You three, please tell me honestly, who are eating steamed buns at night?" Where did the money come from?”

Feeling guilty as a thief, Banggen didn't dare to look at Qin Huairu. He quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The money, the money is, I picked it up."

She knows her son better than her mother. When she saw her son's expression, Qin Huairu immediately judged that he was lying.

"Stop lying to me! Tell me, did you go to your stupid uncle's house to steal something again?"

"I don't have it. Silly Zhu's family is so poor that they don't even eat mice. What can I get?"

These words indirectly reminded Jia Zhang, who testified from the side: "Huairu, Banggeng must not be talking nonsense. Ever since I fooled Zhu to clean the toilet, the family has not even put money, and there is not even a bite to eat.

And don't forget, that damn old woman in the backyard now lives in He Yuyu's house. Bangge is afraid she won't have the chance to go to Shazhu's house. "

Qin Huairu frowned and asked again: "If it's not Shazhu's family, it's someone else's. Please tell mom, what happened to your money?"
