Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Uncle, calm down. My mother-in-law didn't mean that. She just, well, is concerned about your retirement. We will listen to you and give you the money, but you have to promise not to report it to the police.

He is the only child in our Jia family. You know that I have been busy all these years and have not disciplined Banggeng. Banggeng is like his father at heart and is a good boy. You know how he was when he was a child. It's just that he learned bad things from those wild kids outside in the past two years. He will change," Qin Huairu said pitifully.

"Qin Huairu, I also know that it's not easy for you to be alone. Don't beat around the bush and try to change my mind. We've been dealing with each other for so many years. Even if I don't tell you now, you will know it in the future. I'll tell you the truth. Someone will take care of me in my old age. It's Shazhu.

Compared to waiting for Bang Geng to correct himself, I would rather believe Sha Zhu. Although Sha Zhu has a bad temper, he still respects the elderly and keeps his word. So that's it, take the money."

"Uncle, can you please give us some time? Our family can't afford so much money all at once," Qin Huairu begged.

"Old Yi, are you blackmailing us? How could a kid like Banggeng steal so much money? I tell you, I don't have any money, but I have my life," said Jia Zhang, a scoundrel.

“Sister-in-law, don’t act like a rogue in front of me, or I’ll send you to the countryside and blackmail you. Go ask Bang Geng yourself.

It's much more than what I said. I only spoke to you in a nice way for the sake of Lao Jia and Dong Xu. Otherwise, you can try

And Qin Huairu, don't cry poor to me. I know exactly how much money you two have. Don't even mention five hundred. You can take out a thousand. Just take it out. I'll tell you something."

When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to be sent to the countryside, she immediately fell silent. Their family's backer was Yi Zhonghai. If they offended Yi Zhonghai to death, who in the compound would help them? They had offended many people in the past.

"Huai Ru, give him the money. It's your son's fault. It's your fault that you, as a mother, didn't discipline him properly."

"Mom, I don't have money. Everyday food, drink, and toilet expenses are all free."

"Okay, both of you, stop crying poor. Just take your time to discuss it. Whoever gives the money must send it to me before tonight."

"Uncle, you said before that you had some news to tell us, what news?"

"It's not news. You all should know that the educated youth went to the countryside. Banggeng will graduate soon this year. After I cut off ties with him, he can forget about my job. If he doesn't have a job, he will go to the countryside. Instead of feeling sorry for the money, it's better to pay attention to this matter.

Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember to send the money to me before tonight, and pack up Banggeng's things from my room, otherwise tomorrow either I or the police will come."

After Yi Zhonghai left, Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhang, "Mom, what should we do? Money is a small matter now. What about Banggeng? I heard that he will be skinned alive if he goes to the countryside. Banggeng has never suffered from hardship since he was a child. How will he survive if he goes to the countryside?"

"Don't worry, there is still a month before Banggeng graduates. Let's think of a solution first. Maybe there will be a turnaround. Let's talk about the money first. You pay for it. I don't have any money."

"Mom, you still care about money at this moment. If you offend Yi Zhonghai, it will be hard for us, an orphan and a widow, to survive. He is my master. First of all, I can't survive in the factory, let alone in the compound. You have offended many people over the years."

"He's going to retire soon, how can he control you? Besides, isn't your brother-in-law a big boss? Go find him and see if Yi Zhonghai dares to make things difficult for you.

By the way, if you want to send educated youth to the countryside, go to your brother-in-law. Didn’t he arrange for his brothers and sisters to go there? He is Banggeng’s uncle. There will be no problem in arranging for our Banggeng. He can also arrange a good job for him. He doesn’t have to do hard labor like you. It would be best if he can arrange a leadership position.”

"Mom, you know that Zhao Shanhe doesn't like our family. Even Jingru doesn't interact with us. I'm going to go find him, but I don't know if he can help me."

"Well, go ahead and give it a try. We haven't offended him in these years, but you are still trying to curry favor with them. We only have one son like Banggeng."

"Mom, we're back. My brother bought pork head. Come and eat it quickly," Huaihua said as she ran in and jumped.

"Where are your elder brother and elder sister?" Qin Huairu asked

Before Huaihua could speak, Banggeng and Xiaodang walked in one after the other. "Mom, what's wrong? You look unhappy. Who made you angry?"

"Banggeng, come here and kneel down in front of your father's portrait. I must teach you a lesson today," Qin Huairu shouted with tears in her eyes.

"Mom, don't cry, I'll just kneel down," Banggeng said, and then he knelt down in front of Jia Dongxu's portrait.

Qin Huairu took a feather duster and hit Banggeng hard. Banggeng felt like he was going to die and started shouting loudly.

The two sisters hurriedly grabbed Qin Huairu and said, "Mom, don't hit my brother. What happened to my brother? Why do you hit him as soon as he comes back?"

"Qin Huairu, you beat him, but can beating him solve the problem? We are counting on the stick, what if something goes wrong?" Jia Zhang also ran over and said.

"Mom, what's wrong? How did I offend you? Are you going to beat me to death?"

Qin Huairu threw down the feather duster, sat at the table where she usually ate, and started crying.

"Grandma, what happened?" Xiao Dang asked

Jia Zhang told Bang Geng what happened with Yi Zhonghai just now, and said, "You said you are a kid, we usually give you pocket money, how can you steal? Now you have offended Yi Zhonghai, how are we going to live in the future?"

Banggeng was feeling really guilty at this time. At first, he was jealous when he saw others going to the dealership to buy food, so he stole some food. Later, he met a big brother, who then introduced him to more good big brothers.

Eating, drinking and smoking are all free. If the quality is too low, it would be embarrassing. But because he is willing to spend money, he has become a big brother now, with more than ten younger brothers under him.

Where did the money come from? Isn’t it Yi Zhonghai’s? It will be his money sooner or later anyway. There’s nothing wrong with spending it in advance. That’s what his eldest brother said.”

"Grandma, why is my grandpa like this? When he died, all his money was mine. I just spent it in advance, and he wants to cut off ties with me."

Qin Huairu was amused by Haodaer's speech and stopped crying. She stood up, looked at Banggeng and said, "Your money, have you earned a penny? If you don't respect others, why should they give you money? If mom doesn't go to work, will the factory give mom a penny? It's my fault that I didn't teach you well."

As she said this, Qin Huairu slapped her twice hard on the face.

Bang Geng quickly stood up and ran forward, looking at Qin Huairu's face, "Mom, if you want to hit someone, just hit me, why are you hitting yourself?"

The holiday will end tomorrow and I will be back to school. From now on, I may only update once, in the evening, because I still have to prepare my thesis.
