Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Yi Zhonghai and his group were used to this situation, and they forgot about it in a moment of negligence, and were caught by Zhang Yuan on the spot. What Zhang Yuan said was also true, which put them in an awkward and helpless situation.

"Sha Zhu, in consideration of my sister's care for you in the past, you have married my cousin now, so we are still relatives! Can you persuade Zhang Yuan not to pursue the responsibility for Bang Geng? Please, my sister really needs your help." Qin Huairu began to plead with Sha Zhu, trying to move him with her tragic words.

"Brother-in-law..." Sha Zhu was about to speak, but Qin Jingru suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly, suggesting that he remain silent.

"Jingru, I am your cousin, and Banggeng is your nephew! How can you watch him go to the end of his life and do nothing? I only have Banggeng as my son, and he is the only male left in the Jia family. If I don't give him a chance this time, the Jia family will be completely finished!" Qin Huairu couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke, her voice full of sadness and despair. Her love and concern for Banggeng were so sincere that people couldn't help but be moved.

Qin Jingru's original resistance began to waver, and she sighed in her heart: This is family love! Although Qin Huairu usually has some small thoughts, her love and care for her children are sincere. She can understand Qin Huairu's love for Banggeng and her painstaking efforts to hope that her son will become a dragon.

"Zhang Yuan, I think you have also seen that Bang Geng is young and naive. Although we say 'you can tell a person's future from his childhood', our hearts are made of flesh and blood. We can't just ignore it and not give Bang Geng a chance. I will make the decision for the Jia family. Let Bang Geng kneel down in front of you and kowtow to apologize, and then let Qin Huairu take him home to educate him. If he does it again next time, I promise that everyone will not let him off easily again." At this time, Yi Zhonghai came out to plead for Qin Huairu. He felt that he should show his magnanimity and broad-mindedness as an elder at this time to leave a good impression on everyone. After all, he has always been wearing this mask and has become a respected person in the courtyard.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. They all knew that Yi Zhonghai had always been fair and selfless, and he loved his juniors very much. Since he said so, it must make sense. So, everyone persuaded Zhang Yuan to forgive Bang Geng and expressed their willingness to supervise Qin Huairu's education of Bang Geng.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuan couldn't refuse anymore and had to agree. Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai gratefully, then pulled Bang Geng to Zhang Yuan, asked him to kneel down and kowtow three times to Zhang Yuan, and kept saying words of apology.

Sha Zhu was also moved by what Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu said, and stood up to plead for Bang Geng: "Brother-in-law, let's forget about it this time. Bang Geng also grew up in our courtyard, and we all watched him grow up! I know he did something wrong this time, and he almost ruined your reputation. But fortunately, the incident hasn't spread out yet. It happened in the courtyard, and now everyone knows about it, so don't be angry."

"That's right, let's give him a chance to reform." Everyone echoed.

"Qin Huairu is so pitiful. If Bang Geng is really arrested, what will happen to the Jia family?" someone said sympathetically.

Zhang Yuan looked at the reactions of these people in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel angry. How could these people be so easily moved by Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's words? Don't they know how big a mistake Bang Geng made?

However, the deaf old lady who had been in the backyard also came out. She walked up to Zhang Yuan and looked at him seriously.

"Zhang Yuan, I know you are very angry now. If Bang Geng's slander just now succeeds, not only will you lose your job, it may even have a negative impact on your future children's military service and work. However, listen to my advice, old lady, and forgive others when you can. How about giving him another chance? If you still can't let it go, I can make the decision and let the Jia family give you appropriate compensation. Is that okay?" The deaf old lady made suggestions to Zhang Yuan in an earnest tone.

Zhang Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, indicating that he was willing to accept the deaf old lady's proposal, but at the same time emphasized: "Okay, I can let Bang Geng go, but the Jia family must compensate me 300 yuan as a loss."

Hearing this number, Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She widened her eyes, looked at Zhang Yuan in horror, and stammered, "300 yuan? This... this is too much! Can... can it be less? I promise to teach Banggeng a lesson and never let this happen again!"

Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. 300 yuan was an astronomical figure for her. This amount of money was enough for her family to live on for several months, and she had been saving money for her son to marry him off in the future. Now she had to pay such a large sum of money to compensate Zhang Yuan, which she really couldn't afford.

"Zhang Yuan, look at what the Jia family has become. Qin Huairu can't even save a few cents a month sweeping the streets, and you ask her to pay 300 yuan. This is forcing them to die. Look, Bang Geng has already knelt down for you, so just don't ask for compensation." Yi Zhonghai persuaded.

It would be fine if he didn't mention Banggeng, but once he mentioned him, he couldn't help it. From the beginning, Banggeng had been staring at Zhang Yuan viciously, his eyes full of resentment, as if he would burst out at any time. Seeing so many people pleading for him, but Zhang Yuan still held on, he felt very wronged. He obviously did nothing wrong, he just took a hen from Xu Damao, but he was falsely accused of stealing two. This black pot made him feel extremely aggrieved and wronged.

"No! If we don't pay compensation, how can it play a profound educational role? You know, the two hens are very important properties to everyone. As the saying goes, 'chickens lay eggs, and eggs hatch hens'. If this cycle continues, just tell me how much money we will lose!" Zhang Yuan said confidently.

"Yes, Zhang Yuan is right! If we follow his calculation, our losses are indeed incalculable." Yan Bugui calculated in his mind and was suddenly surprised to find that Zhang Yuan was right, so he agreed. They believed that Banggeng should be taught a profound lesson and should not be let off easily.

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that Zhang Yuan was right. They thought, if this happened in the countryside, hens are an important asset to a family, and they can even make a living by selling eggs. If someone stole two hens at once, they would definitely want to beat the thief to death.

Xu Damao suddenly understood that he was just thinking of ways to threaten Qin Huairu to sleep with him, but he didn't realize that he was actually at a big disadvantage. He couldn't help but regret it, thinking that he was really confused and was confused by Qin Huairu's tears. Xu Damao really wanted to slap himself hard. He always thought he was smart, but he didn't expect there was such a calculation. It turned out that his two chickens were so valuable! If Zhang Yuan didn't say it, he might have missed this opportunity in vain. When he thought of this, Xu Damao felt annoyed and wanted to give himself a few loud slaps.

Qin Huairu and Banggeng's faces turned very ugly in an instant, especially Banggeng, who stared at Yan Bugui with fierce eyes.

Yi Zhonghai glared at Yan Bugui secretly, indicating that he was doing bad things by talking too much.

Yan Bugui also realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly shrank his neck and squeezed out of the crowd in shame.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai knew that he could not escape the compensation. He, the Jia family and Zhang Yuan all had a bad relationship. In addition, this time it was Bang Geng who caused the trouble, so the Jia family could not avoid it.

Qin Huairu said: "Zhang Yuan, how about I do housework for you and Sha Zhu's family to pay off the debt, is that okay with you?"

Of course not! Zhang Yuan rejected it directly in his heart. If Qin Huairu was allowed in, wouldn't it cause trouble for himself and Sha Zhu's family? What's more, Qin Huairu might be thinking in this way, so that she could benefit from it and get revenge at the same time.

The soft-hearted Sha Zhu naturally had no objection when he heard Qin Huairu's proposal of this compromise. After all, they had always done this before, with Sha Zhu helping the Jia family and Qin Huairu helping with housework, cleaning the room and doing laundry.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he thought this was a great idea. In the past, he didn't see Qin Huairu's true colors, and only wanted to tie Sha Zhu to the Jia family, so that he could firmly control the Jia family and Sha Zhu. However, after a period of observation and thinking, Yi Zhonghai found that Qin Huairu was not as simple as she seemed on the surface. She was very scheming and greedy. However, if she was allowed to mess up the relationship between Zhang Yuan and He Yushui, it would be a good choice.

Just when Yi Zhonghai wanted to persuade Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Uncle, please don't say anything. I know what you want to say, but I don't need Qin Huairu to work in exchange for debts. This will easily lead to misunderstandings. What if people misunderstand that we have an improper relationship? Besides, I don't want Qin Huairu to destroy the relationship between me and Yu Shui."

Qin Huairu was embarrassed when she heard Zhang Yuan say that. She realized that her suggestion was not appropriate, so she lowered her head silently.

However, Yi Zhonghai did not give up. He continued to make another suggestion: "How about this, Qin Huairu owes the money first, and pays it back when she has money in the future, is that okay?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, indicating that he disagreed with this plan. He felt that this would put too much pressure on Qin Huairu and might affect their relationship.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly had an idea and thought of a way: "Why not let Qin Huairu write you an IOU and pay you back when she has money."

Zhang Yuan smiled slightly. He thought Yi Zhonghai's idea was not very good, and he didn't want Qin Huairu to write him an IOU. On the contrary, he wanted to use this opportunity to set a trap for Yi Zhonghai.

Zhang Yuan looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu are both your apprentices. You should be responsible for them! Since you care about them so much, why don't you help them pay back the money?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face suddenly turned very ugly. He didn't expect Zhang Yuan to say this. Wasn't it obvious that he wanted to embarrass him?

Zhang Yuan continued, "Look, as an elder and an eighth-level fitter in the factory, this amount of money is nothing to you, right? If you can help them pay back the money, it will really solve a big problem! If you are afraid that Qin Huairu will default on the debt, why not ask her to write you an IOU?"

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth. He knew Zhang Yuan was deliberately making things difficult for him. But he couldn't refuse directly. After all, he had just proposed the idea of ​​asking Qin Huairu to write an IOU. If he regretted it now, wouldn't it seem like he was not trustworthy?

Finally, Yi Zhonghai took out 300 yuan from his pocket with a dark face and handed it to Zhang Yuan: "Okay, I'll pay for this. But Qin Huairu, you have to write me an IOU in front of everyone now."

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted to see Yi Zhonghai was willing to help her pay back the money. She quickly took the money and said gratefully, "Thank you, uncle. I will definitely pay you back as soon as possible."

However, Qin Huairu thought that the matter was finally over, and the smile on her face did not last long, because Yi Zhonghai's next words made her heart sink.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu and said coldly: "Qin Huairu, you must remember that this money is a loan to you, and you must pay it back as soon as possible. If you can't pay it back, then use your house as collateral."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she cursed in her heart: "Old man, how cruel!"

She originally thought that Yi Zhonghai was just talking casually, but she didn't expect him to take it seriously. Now, she not only has to face huge debts, but also has to worry about losing her house.

Zhang Yuan saw that his goal had been achieved, so he said nothing more and turned to leave Jia's house. Yi Zhonghai stood there with a dark face, cursing Zhang Yuan in his heart.

The next afternoon, another shocking news came out in the compound - Xu Damao and Qin Huairu actually went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together to get their marriage certificate! This sudden change caught Yi Zhonghai off guard. After all, just yesterday, there seemed to be no special signs between them that the two would get together so quickly. However, looking at the joy on Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's faces, it didn't seem fake, which made people feel very confused.

What is even more surprising is that after Bang Geng learned about this, he immediately ran to Qin Huairu and made a scene, accusing her of being unfaithful and betraying the Jia family. Faced with her son's questioning, Qin Huairu was speechless, while Xu Damao was irritated by Bang Geng's attitude and raised his hand to teach him a lesson. However, Qin Huairu tried to stop him, making the situation awkward.

In addition, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu also distributed wedding candies everywhere in the compound, and returned all the money they owed to Yi Zhonghai. This series of actions undoubtedly caused a sensation in the whole compound, and everyone speculated on the reason why the two suddenly got married.
