The life of a villain in a courtyard

"Uncle, please save Banggeng. He is the only child in our family. If anything happens to him, I will not be able to face Dongxu."

Qin Huairu knelt down in front of Yi Zhonghai and begged him to help her.

An old lady came forward and pulled Qin Huairu up: "Huairu, it's not that we don't want to help you, but this matter is too big and we can't help you. There are hundreds of eggs, where can we get so many eggs to save Banggeng."

"Huai Ru, don't worry. I will go to Wu Xingguo to discuss it and ask him to give us some time to slowly gather these eggs."

Qin Huairu nodded excitedly. As long as Yi Zhonghai was willing to help, their family's Banggeng could still be saved. However, what happened next completely extinguished her only remaining hope. Wu Xingguo actually brought several policemen from outside.

Seeing him coming with the police, the old man's expression became visibly ugly.

"What's going on? Why are you bothering the police with such a small matter? We can handle it in our courtyard. Xingguo, you are making a fuss out of nothing!"

He originally wanted to suppress the matter first and slowly repay the losses to avoid Bang Geng going to jail, but who would have thought that he would directly call the police and not give him any chance.

Before Wu Xingguo could say anything, the two policemen who stood up with him started to scold him: "What do you mean by making a mountain out of a molehill? Is being robbed a small matter? You guys can take care of everything in the courtyard house, so what do you need us police officers for?"

The grandfather's face turned red from being choked, and he could only timidly say: "That's not what I meant. I just don't want to trouble you comrades."

"How many eggs did Comrade Wu lose this time?"

"That makes two hundred and thirty eggs."

As soon as Wu Xingguo finished speaking, the yard suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at him with their mouths wide open. These were 230 eggs, and the dozens of people in the hospital might not be able to eat so many eggs in a year.

The case is very clear. After investigation, questioning and Wu Xingguo's testimony, it can be confirmed that it was Bang Geng who did it.

"It's not me, I'm not a thief! Mom, grandma, please save me, I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to jail!"

Bang Geng screamed in fear. He finally knew what fear was.

He even wet his pants when the police handcuffed him and were about to take him away.

"I didn't steal it, it was my grandma who told me to steal it! Go catch her! She told me to do it!"

The ungrateful boy's true nature was revealed, and he sold out his grandmother without any hesitation, so both the grandmother and grandson were arrested.

After the police left, the three uncles and Qin Huairu followed to help and came back in less than an hour.

The police station’s meaning was very clear and the evidence was conclusive. Not only would he have to pay compensation but he would also have to go to jail.

If he wants a reduced sentence, he can only obtain a letter of understanding signed by the victim, Wu Xingguo, and the food factory.

"Can't a big-time guy avoid going to jail?"

Qin Huairu wanted to make a last-ditch effort. She didn't care about Jia Zhang's life or death, but she couldn't ignore Bang Geng's life or death, because he was her own son.

"Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly: "The police said that he must go to jail, but considering his young age and this being a first-time offender, they will give him a lighter sentence."

"What to do now!"

Qin Huairu had completely lost her own opinion and could only cry.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, let's go find Wu Xingguo and ask him to write a letter of apology to Bang Geng."

Yi Zhonghai thought that Wu Xingguo, who usually greeted everyone with a smile, would not refuse. He did not expect that he was blocked at the door this time. He simply did not even open the door, and said through the door: "I am too tired to clean the house today. I need to take a rest. If you have anything, we can talk tomorrow."

"It's okay, let's come here to stop him tomorrow morning. I don't believe he won't go to work."

After several people left, they went back to their homes. Qin Huairu walked back with a pale face, thinking in her mind what bargaining chips she had in her hand to impress the other party in order to get a letter of forgiveness. At the same time, she began to hate Wu Xingguo. Why couldn't we discuss it properly? Our family didn't say that they would not compensate, so why did they call the police.

"Xingguo, what should we do next? Do we really have to write a letter of apology to that thief?"

Wu Xingguo's wife was very uneasy about this. She was unwilling to write it, but she was afraid of being targeted by the people in the yard if she didn't write it. Today, three uncles came to their house together. If her family rejected them, she would probably have no good days in the yard in the future.

Although the three old men were temporarily moved away, this was not a long-term solution. Their family still had to live in the yard and would run into them sooner or later.

"I'll go ask Brother Su later."

That night, just after everyone had fallen asleep, the door opened and a head poked out. Seeing that there was no light outside, a figure came out of the door and quickly crossed the small patio and came to Su Yun's door.

"Brother Su, wake up, Brother Su, I'm Wu Xingguo and I have something to ask you."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Su Yun was awakened by the cry of the loach, and when he heard Wu Xingguo calling him, he guessed that it might be related to what happened today.

"Brother Wu, why are you looking for me in the middle of the night like a thief?"

"I have no choice. If someone sees what they gave me, they will ask me for a letter of apology."

Su Yun let Wu Xingguo in and made him a cup of tea.

"Brother, please give me some advice on how I should deal with this matter."

"That depends on how you want to resolve this matter. Are you kind enough to spare Bang Geng's life, or do you want to put him in jail, or do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?"

"Get rich? Stop kidding, brother. Although I just moved here a few days ago, I know the situation in the courtyard. How much can the Jia family lose even if they have to pay compensation? They can hardly even have enough food to eat."

What kind of profit can a bunch of poor guys get?

"This is what you don't know. Although the Jia family has no money, there are people who do. The uncle in our yard is an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill. His monthly salary is exactly 99 yuan. As long as you tell him the number, he will definitely help the Jia family pay."

"Why is the eldest master so devoted to the Jia family?"

"You don't know this. Our uncle has always had a concern, that is, he has no children, so he has always hoped to find someone who is willing to take care of him in his old age, and the Jia family is the best candidate."

Wu Xingguo nodded. It turned out that there was this kind of relationship involved. No wonder people in the courtyard always said that Yi Zhonghai favored the Jia family.

"What if I don't want to sign a letter of apology?"

"That's easy, we just need to pass the buck."

"pass the buck?"

"Just tell the old man that these eggs belong to the factory and you have no right to write a letter of apology. Ask him to go find your factory director. As long as he agrees to write a letter of apology, you can write it. Then have your factory director tell Yi Zhonghai to come to you first. Just wait for a few days for Banggeng's verdict and everything will be fine."

"good idea!"
