Chapter 274 Banggeng strikes again

At Yi Zhonghai’s home.

Yi Zhonghai sat at the table, smiling as he watched Banggeng eat with big mouthfuls of food, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction. This scene made him feel extremely happy, as if he had a perfect family. However, he also realized that the child in front of him was a little naughty and needed more patience and education to guide Banggeng onto the right path.

"Banggeng, is this enough? Do you want another bowl?" Yi Zhonghai asked with concern as he watched Banggeng finish the food in the bowl.

"Yeah!" Bang Geng nodded without hesitation, without raising his head, and rudely handed the empty bowl to Yi Zhonghai, indicating that he wanted to continue eating.

After Yi Zhonghai took the bowl, he turned to the middle-aged woman standing beside him and shouted, "My dear, please give Banggeng another bowl of rice!"

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Auntie's face turned ugly. She muttered to herself, "What's wrong with this old man? Didn't he say that he would no longer have any contact with the Banggeng family? He finally found a reason to cut off contact, but now he brings that little wolf cub back. Has he forgotten the lesson he learned before?" Thinking of this, Auntie felt even more depressed.

Although the aunt complained in her heart, she continued to add rice obediently. When she looked into the pot, she was stunned, "Lao Yi, there is no rice in the pot!"

"What?" Yi Zhonghai was startled and stood up quickly, "Didn't I tell you to put in more rice?" Today he specifically told the aunt to cook more rice, but he didn't expect it to be gone so soon.

The aunt explained aggrievedly: "I cooked a whole pot of rice, but you and I only ate one bowl..."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized that the problem was with Banggeng. He looked at the empty bowl on the table, then at Banggeng's round belly, and shook his head helplessly.

"Banggeng, don't eat too much." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "If you eat too much at once, you will get sick easily, and your stomach may feel uncomfortable at night. Why don't we go out for a walk to help digest the food."

Bang Geng heard this and secretly complained that Yi Zhonghai was too stingy and didn't even want to give him a full meal. He pouted and said unhappily, "I'm not full yet!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Banggeng's appearance and sighed helplessly. It seemed that the education of Banggeng was imminent, but he was unwilling to harden his heart and said with a smile: "Banggeng, there is no food now. I will make it for you tomorrow." After that, he stood up, pulled Banggeng's hand and walked out without any explanation.

As Bang Geng was dragged away by Yi Zhonghai, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never listen to Yi Zhonghai again. He felt that Yi Zhonghai was too hypocritical and just treated him as a tool. Thinking of this, a trace of hatred flashed in Bang Geng's eyes.

Poor Yi Zhonghai and his wife cooked a full pot of white rice, but they only ate a little bit, and the rest went into Banggeng's stomach. What's more tragic is that they paid so much but didn't get the slightest gratitude from Banggeng, but instead got into trouble.

However, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt did not realize Banggeng's true thoughts.

After Banggeng left Yi Zhonghai's house, he happened to meet Qin Huairu who had been waiting for him at the door.

"What are you doing here? I don't welcome you." Bang Geng said coldly, and his indifferent attitude made Qin Huairu feel heartbroken.

"Banggeng, I am your biological mother! How can you talk to me like that? This makes me so sad..." Tears slid down Qin Huairu's fair cheeks. If it were in the past, Banggeng might have felt guilty, but at this moment, he looked at his mother's tears, and all he felt was annoyance and disgust.

Qin Huairu wanted to explain to Bang Geng, but Bang Geng didn't want to listen. He was extremely angry and even lost his mind. He just picked up the stone at his feet and threw it at Qin Huairu without hesitation.

Fortunately, the stick was not aimed well, and the stone flew over Qin Huairu's head and finally hit the glass of their house.

"Great!" Qin Huairu screamed in fright.

"Get out!" Bang Geng glared at Qin Huairu and shouted loudly.

Seeing that Banggeng was still trying to pick up the stone, Qin Huairu was frightened and dared not continue to persuade him. She covered her cheek and hurriedly left the middle courtyard.

"Humph!" Bang Geng snorted coldly as he watched Qin Huairu running away. However, when he came to his senses, he found that the glass in his house was broken, and his anger suddenly burned even more fiercely. He blamed all this on Qin Huairu. If she hadn't dodged, how could the stone hit the window? At this moment, he was full of resentment and anger towards Qin Huairu.

In the days that followed, every day when Zhang Yuan got home from get off work, he would see Banggeng swaggering out of Yi Zhonghai's house with a round belly, looking very satisfied, with a smug look on his face, as if telling everyone: he was well fed, slept well, and lived a very comfortable life. Moreover, Banggeng's eyes revealed a kind of self-righteous arrogance, as if he thought he had the right to enjoy all this, and felt that eating the food of Yi Zhonghai's family was giving them face and was a blessing for their family.

Yi Zhonghai seemed to be possessed, and he didn't seem to mind Banggeng's behavior at all, and even felt relieved. He believed that Banggeng was just so cold and distant because he was not used to it. As time went by, he would definitely accept them slowly and establish a close relationship with them.

The more he thought about it, the more Yi Zhonghai wanted to please Bang Geng and win his heart. So he began to look for various opportunities to impress Bang Geng with some small favors. For example, buying him some snacks or toys. Although these actions did not work immediately, Yi Zhonghai firmly believed that as long as he persisted, one day Bang Geng would truly accept him.

Banggeng is such an ungrateful kid! Even if Yi Zhonghai treats him well for a purpose, he is still much better than when he was at the Jia family, right? At least he is not so hungry during class like before. But what about now? No one is watching over him, and Banggeng is simply lawless. He either skips classes or leaves early every day. The head teacher Ran Qiuye has come to the door several times. Who would have thought that the Jia family would become like this? Qin Huairu could only beg Ran Qiuye, hoping that she could plead with the school not to expel Banggeng. Ran Qiuye was also soft-hearted. Seeing Qin Huairu like this, she agreed and repeatedly told Qin Huairu to let Banggeng go to school.

Qin Huairu didn't care about Banggeng. She felt that she was tired enough and didn't want to take care of this child anymore. But what about Banggeng? He didn't understand his mother's difficulties at all and was full of resentment towards Qin Huairu. The mother and son were like enemies when they met, which made Qin Huairu very sad. She could only sigh at Xu Damao's house, but this made Xu Damao unhappy.

Xu Damao was very dissatisfied with Qin Huairu because she always secretly took eggs and grains from home to feed Banggeng. After returning from the countryside this time, Qin Huairu still had a sad face, as if the whole world owed her something. This made Xu Damao unbearable, and he pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed her, saying that she was meddling in other people's business.

Xu Damao also threatened Qin Huairu that if she dared to control Banggeng again, he would take back the Jia family's house, and then drive Banggeng back to the countryside and let him live with Jia Zhangshi. Qin Huairu was stunned as soon as he said this. She knew that Xu Damao would keep his word. If it really became like this, not to mention whether Jia Zhangshi could support the two of them, Qin Huairu would be heartbroken just not being able to see Banggeng.

Qin Huairu looked at Xu Damao helplessly, tears streaming down her face. She knew she had no choice but to listen to Xu Damao and stop caring about Banggeng.

However, as a mother, how could she bear to watch her child suffer? But the reality was so cruel that she had to face it.

Qin Huairu looked at her two daughters tenderly, with an unspeakable pain in her heart. She understood that as a mother, she could not only care about her son Banggeng and ignore the feelings of her two daughters. However, reality is always cruel, and her current living conditions forced her to make some difficult choices. She prayed silently, hoping that she could make up for her debt to Banggeng in the future. At the same time, she also hoped that Banggeng could understand her helplessness and painstaking efforts at the moment.

"Well, it's getting late, let's rest early." Xu Damao had a sly smile on his face, while he put his arms around Qin Huairu and pushed her onto the bed. His eyes revealed a kind of greed and desire, as if he wanted to swallow Qin Huairu in one gulp.

Qin Huairu was startled by Xu Damao's sudden action, her body trembled slightly, but she did not resist. Her heart was full of contradictions and helplessness. On the one hand, she needed Xu Damao's help to maintain her family's livelihood, and on the other hand, she felt disgusted and disgusted with Xu Damao's behavior. But at this moment, she could only choose to remain silent and accept it all silently.

At the same time, Xiaodang and Huaihua also felt the tense atmosphere in the room. Although they were still young, they had begun to understand things gradually and had a vague understanding of the things between adults. They knew clearly what everything that was happening in front of them meant, and they couldn't help but feel fear and uneasiness in their hearts.

The two little girls hugged each other tightly, trying to use this method to resist the interference of the outside world and force themselves into a sweet dream. However, their hearts were still restless, and the figures of Xu Damao and Qin Huairu kept appearing in their minds, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

Xiaodang comforted her softly, "Huaihua, don't be afraid, let's go to sleep. When we wake up tomorrow morning, everything will be fine." She patted Huaihua's back gently, hoping to bring some warmth and comfort to her sister.

Huaihua nodded, tears glistening in her eyes, and said, "Sister, I'm afraid..." Her voice was choked with sobs, which made people feel heartbroken.

Xiaodang held Huaihua's hand tightly and said gently: "It's okay, sister is here. Let's close our eyes and we will fall asleep soon." After that, she also closed her eyes, trying to calm her thoughts.

On this quiet night, Xiaodang and Huaihua snuggled up to each other and spent a difficult night together.

However, the violent shaking of the bed came and went quickly like a storm, and calm was restored in just three or four minutes.

Qin Huairu gently pushed away Xu Damao who was pressing on her, silently got up, tidied her clothes and made the bed with neat movements, then quietly got into her daughter's bed, hugged her daughter tightly and fell asleep together.

The next morning, the sun shone through the window into the house. Xu Damao stepped out of the house refreshed and with a satisfied smile on his face. When he passed the middle yard, he did not notice that two malicious eyes were watching him leave. About an hour later, Banggeng tiptoed out of the house and sneaked to the backyard.

At this time, there were only the deaf old lady, the second aunt and Banggeng's two sisters in the backyard. The deaf old lady was basking in the sun in the yard, the second aunt was doing needlework in the house, and Banggeng's two sisters were playing in the yard. As for other families, some had gone to work, while others went out to buy groceries or run errands. In short, the backyard seemed very quiet now, and no one noticed Banggeng's arrival.

Bang Geng took advantage of Xiao Dang taking Huai Hua out and quickly slipped into Xu Damao's house. No one was home, which made Bang Geng's actions smoother. He skillfully opened the cabinet and began to search.

In less than ten minutes, Bang Geng found some food and snacks, as well as some money. He quickly put these things into his pocket, and then left Xu Damao's house contentedly.

As night fell and the lights came on, Qin Huairu dragged her exhausted body and slowly walked into the house. As soon as she entered the house, she was stunned by the scene in front of her: the house was in a mess, as if it had suffered a catastrophe. The furniture and items that were originally neatly arranged were now thrown everywhere at random, and the ground was full of garbage and debris, making it impossible to step.

Qin Huairu had a bad feeling in her heart and asked quickly, "What is going on?" However, the two young daughters were also confused. They just told their mother that when they went out to play, everything in the house was in order, but when they came back, they found that the house had become unrecognizable.

Qin Huairu frowned and fell into deep thought. She began to wonder if a thief had broken into her house to steal.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu's face turned pale as if she had thought of something. She rushed to the bedroom like crazy, opened the closet, and searched every corner carefully. However, what made her desperate was that the money she had been hiding from Xu Damao had disappeared!

Oh no! Qin Huairu was shocked. It was just as she thought. The money was gone. It was more than 100 yuan, which Qin Huairu had saved for a long time. Now, she was back to the time before liberation overnight.

Qin Huairu, furious, grabbed Xiaodang's hand and asked him viciously if she had stolen the money. However, Xiaodang was frightened by Qin Huairu and said that he didn't know and had not stolen the money at all.

At this time, Qin Huairu had not figured out the trick yet and thought that it was her daughter who stole the money. After asking three times, Xiaodang still refused to admit it. Qin Huairu had to harden her heart and picked up a feather duster to hit Xiaodang's butt, making her scream.

The deaf old lady opposite heard this and shook her head. She knew who stole the thing, but she didn't like Qin Huairu and the people from the Jia family, so she chose to remain silent.

On the contrary, after hearing the noise, the second aunt hurried over to dissuade them. After learning about the incident, she advised Qin Huairu to report the case as soon as possible, thinking that it might not have been Xiao Dang who stole it.
