Comfortable life in Siheyuan

Everyone in the yard focused their attention on Jia Zhang. Bang Geng, who was standing by, was too guilty to even look at his grandmother.

At this time, Jia Zhang said tremblingly: "This matter is not a big deal. She bumped into me and I didn't want her to pay for it. But this person has a foul mouth and keeps cursing. I was so angry that I grabbed her and wouldn't let her go."

Jia Zhang didn't dare admit that she was committing fraud, so she thought for a while and made up another lie.

"That means your leg is fine?" Shitou frowned and asked.

Jia Zhang dodged her gaze for a moment, not daring to look directly at the people from the street office, and then she said, "It hurt for a while at the time, and I thought my bones were injured again. I just sat there for a while, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

Feng Shitou called the others aside, and they discussed quietly for a while, then said to Jia Zhang: "Aunt Jia, let's forget about this matter today. If it happens again, we will call the police to settle the case for you. You said you are all neighbors in the same courtyard, there is no need to make the relationship so stiff. We see each other every day, so we should live in harmony. Isn't there an old saying that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! Be careful next time!"

Several other people from the street office called Banggeng aside, warned him, and then left.

In fact, several people in the street office knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was. They were well aware of what happened this time, but they just didn't want to get involved.

They couldn't handle the lame old lady Jia Zhang either. It wasn't a big deal, and they couldn't send her to prison. If someone of her age was sent there, people would be afraid of trouble.

In the evening, Banggeng's wife came home from get off work and heard Uncle San talking about what happened today as soon as she entered the door. She was so angry that her face turned red and white.

When I got to my room, I saw that he hadn't even read the book and was still fiddling with the radio in his hand. I got very angry.

"Jia Geng, do you still want to learn to be an electrician? Do you still want to find a job? If you continue like this, we can't live together anymore." Wang Li said with a cold face.

"I have been busy all day today, I have been reading books. I just took out this radio! Wife, don't be angry, I will definitely pass the exam next time." Banggeng quickly put down the radio and raised his hand to promise.

"Why don't you find a temporary job first? It's not a good thing for you, a grown man, to stay idle at home every day!" Wang Li advised in a low voice!

"It's not that I don't want to find a job, but now I can't even find a temporary job, what can I do?" Banggeng did go to the street office to ask, but the street office really didn't have a job for him. There are still a lot of unemployed young people.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to my brother to ask if his soap factory accepts temporary workers?" One of Wang Li's cousins ​​works in a soap factory and is also a middle-level cadre, but this soap factory is far away from the courtyard.

"Why don't we wait two more days? The soap factory is too far away from us, and I don't have a bicycle. It will take more than an hour to go back and forth!" Banggeng was a little reluctant.

"I tell you, it's good enough to find a job now. Stop being picky. Why do you stay at home every day? You follow your grandma to blackmail people. Isn't it shameful?" Wang Li looked at Bang Geng with hatred and really wanted to slap him.

"How do you know this? Who is so gossipy? What happened today was done by my grandma. What does it have to do with me?" Bang Geng said to him with a guilty conscience.

Wang Li glared at Bang Geng and said, "Don't worry about who is gossiping. Everyone in the hospital knows about this. If you still have some dignity, find a job quickly. Otherwise, how are we going to live in the future?"

Banggeng was a little anxious. He knew that the family situation was not good. If he had no income for a long time, life would only get harder and harder. He thought about it and finally agreed to Wang Li, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go find your brother tomorrow."

"There's one more thing. I've received approval for the housing I applied for with our company last time. I guess there will be some expenses to pay by then. Don't spend money recklessly at home." Wang Li warned.

"Don't worry, I'll go find a job with you tomorrow!"

Wang Li has always wanted to escape from this courtyard. The Jia family has a bad reputation, and she can't even hold her head up in this area.

The next day, Wang Li took a day off and brought Banggeng to the soap factory. She found her cousin and explained her purpose. Her cousin was very straightforward and immediately arranged a temporary job for Banggeng and asked him to start work the next day.

Bang Geng was secretly happy. Although this job was hard, it was better than nothing. However, when he learned that the job involved moving goods, he started to worry again.

After a few days, everyone knew that Banggeng had gone to work as a porter. Banggeng now felt ashamed.

In the evening, when Liu Qingshan was having dinner, he asked, "Dad, isn't Bang Geng learning electrician anymore?"

"He learned nothing. Li Hu was able to pass the exam because he came to ask me questions whenever he had time. You know, Li Hu was still working odd jobs at the time. This guy is good. He stays at home every day and doesn't work. I haven't seen him come to ask questions. How could he pass the exam?"

When Liu's father talked about Banggeng, he could only grind his teeth and looked down on this man in his heart.

"That would save us a lot of trouble. If he really passes the electrician exam, I'll have to do him a favor." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"I'd rather give this favor to someone like Li Hu than to that ungrateful bastard. Banggeng just started working these two days and is still a temporary worker, but he asked his mother for a bicycle." Liu's mother said in a low voice.

"He is so old and he is already married, yet he still asks Qin Huairu for a car? What is he thinking?" Feng Yu was also surprised.

"They say the soap factory is far away and it's inconvenient without a car. I think it's just a toad yawning - what a big mouth."

In the central courtyard of the Jia family, the whole family was sitting in the main room. Even Xiaodang and Huaihua had returned, and the table was full of dishes.

"What day is it today? Why are there so many dishes on the table?" Xiao Dang looked at Qin Huairu and her son in surprise.

"Your brother has found a new job! Today is a good time to celebrate. Your brother bought these dishes so that you can come back and have fun together."

"Brother, you have a job now, so we have to congratulate you. Congratulations!" Huaihua said happily without any doubt.

However, Xiaodang, who was sitting next to him, had already sensed something was wrong. Since his marriage, his sister-in-law had always been in charge of his finances. How could he be willing to spend money to buy so many dishes for dinner?

Moreover, even if Banggeng was willing, his sister-in-law would not be so generous.

Thinking of this, Xiaodang put down his chopsticks, pretended to be happy, and congratulated Banggeng. On the other hand, he stretched out a hand and secretly pulled Huaihua's sleeve under the table.
