Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

Ma Dongmei stood by the kang and twisted Shazhu's waist, which made Shazhu grimace in pain.

"What are you doing, bitch?"

"Didn't you hear anyone looking for you? I said it was too early to go to bed. Hurry up and put on your pants. I'll go open the door first."

After Ma Dongmei left, Sha Zhu put on his pants while cursing, "That little cutie, why don't you just stay at home in such a cold weather? You're disturbing others."

When Shazhu came out, he saw Banggeng sitting there and Ma Dongmei poking the stove.

"The good joke is coming"

"Uncle He"

"You are in trouble"

"Well, there is something"

Bang Geng saw Ma Dongmei pouring tea after poking the stove, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't pour it anymore. I'll just say a few words and leave."

As he spoke, Bang Geng opened his briefcase and took out one stack, two stacks,... ten stacks, a total of forty stacks of money, which were the 40,000 yuan that Sha Zhu had sent him in the afternoon.

(That’s right, forty stacks of ten-yuan notes, one hundred per stack)

"Bang terrier, what do you mean by this?"

"Uncle He, I have no reason to come here, I just want to give you the money, my house is not worth that much,

Also, my mother needs to live here after surgery, so I don’t plan to sell the house. I didn’t know my grandma asked you for so much money. Thank you for your kindness, Uncle He.”

"Banggeng, what on earth do you mean by this?" Shazhu said the same thing but emphasized his tone.

"It's nothing, I just don't plan to sell the house. I didn't explain it clearly to my grandma. Uncle He, Auntie, please give me some money."

"Bang Geng, I watched you grow up. Your mom is in need of money right now. Why are you being so polite to me?"

"Uncle He, my mom does need money, but not that much. I don't know what my grandma told you. I'm not as short of money as you think.

I have collected enough money for the surgery now. My mother's follow-up treatment costs after the surgery do not need to be paid in one lump sum. My salary will be enough by then.

You also know that my grandma is old, my mom is sick, Yaozu is still young, and I still need a house, that's it."

"Bang Geng, I know you have a high salary, but you still have loans. What if you need money?"

"Uncle He, thank you for your kindness. I calculated that my salary is almost enough. If I am really short of money, my uncle-in-law will definitely help me.

Uncle He, it's not easy for you and aunt to save so much money. He Dong is already grown up, and you have to consider buying a house for him to get married. You should count the money. I'll leave after you count it. It's too late now."

"Bang Geng, kid, why are you so stubborn?"

"Zhu Zi, since Bang Geng doesn't want to sell it, then forget it." Ma Dongmei could see that Bang Geng didn't want to have anything to do with Sha Zhu.

Ma Dongmei knew that since Banggeng wanted to cut off his relationship with Shazhu, money would definitely be no problem. Ma Dongmei symbolically counted out a stack of money, one hundred thousand yuan bills, forty stacks in total.

"No problem, Bang Geng, forty thousand dollars."

"Uncle He, Auntie, this is such a large sum of money, you should all count it."

Sha Zhu sat there without moving. Seeing that Bang Geng insisted, Ma Dongmei symbolically counted the remaining money.

"No problem, awesome!"

"Okay then, Uncle He, Auntie, you guys should get some rest early. I'll be leaving first."

Banggeng picked up his briefcase and walked out. Shazhu shouted, "Banggeng, don't leave in a hurry. I'll cook some side dishes and we'll have a couple of drinks. I have two bottles of good wine."

"No more drinking, Uncle He. Fatty is going to take care of my mom. I'm worried about grandma and Yaozu at home, so I'll go back first."

"Okay, Banggeng, I'll take you there."

Ma Dongmei hurried over and grabbed the stick.

"Aunt, what are you doing?"

"Banggeng, walk around the edge. Your uncle He just splashed water on me. It must have frozen into ice now. Be careful not to slip."

"it is good"

After Banggeng left, Shazhu immediately became unhappy, "What does Banggeng mean? He looks down on me. I did this for his own good, but he returned the money instead. He would rather borrow money from me in the future than take my money."

I took this kid out to play and paid for his tuition when he was a kid, but now he keeps calling me Uncle He, like a stranger."

"Zhu Zi, you still don't understand. Bang Geng is trying to distance himself from you. Okay, that's it. I'll deposit the money tomorrow and then take He Dong Hehua to look at houses."

"I just can't understand why this guy wants to distance himself from me. I treat him much better than Zhao Shanhe treats him."

"Okay, stop thinking about it, pack up the money and go to sleep."

"You go to sleep first. I'll fry some peanuts and have a couple of drinks. I'm not feeling happy."

"Okay, you can make yourself unhappy, and I don't care. I'll go to bed first." Ma Dongmei actually figured out what was going on, so she didn't say anything.

Ma Dongmei actually said it well, the purpose of the banggeng is to distance oneself from the matter.

When Banggeng got off work in the afternoon and returned home, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to say that the house had been sold, and then she handed the money to Banggeng like presenting a treasure.

Banggeng was very happy when he heard that his grandmother sold the house. But when he heard that she sold it for 40,000 yuan, he became a little suspicious. He thought that it was good enough for the house to break even, and the buyer was not stupid.

Instead of spending 40,000 yuan to buy a house that has been lived in by others, I might as well buy a new one that is bigger than mine. Besides, my mother is sick, and people will definitely think it is unlucky. How could I possibly sell it for 40,000 yuan?

So Bang Geng asked, "Grandma, who did you sell the house to? It can be sold for 40,000 yuan."

"Don't worry about it, you are good at nursing me, right?"

"How can I not care? They've already paid me. I'll go through the formalities with them as soon as possible. And milk, you go back to the courtyard tomorrow to pack up, and then we'll move back."

"Great! There's no need to rush to move. I've already made an appointment with them. Let's wait for your mom to be discharged from the hospital and recuperate for a while. When the weather warms up in the spring, we can move."

Banggeng thought that this was like selling a house, and that someone was helping his family. If it was his uncle-in-law, his grandmother would definitely not dare to ask for a high price.

Then it could only be that person, and my grandmother had gone to look for that person a few days ago.

"Grandma, tell me the truth, is the person who bought our house an idiot?"

Jia Zhang guessed it from seeing Bang Geng's answer and nodded.

After Banggeng confirmed that it was Shazhu, he immediately put money into his briefcase, "Grandma, you can sell this house to anyone, even at a lower price, but you can't sell it to Shazhu."

"Great! Why? How could others sell it for 40,000?"

"Others can do it, but Shazhu can't."

"Bang Geng, explain to grandma why Sha Zhu can't do it. You need money to treat your mom's illness. She must not be left in the cold after she is discharged from the hospital. There is not even coal in the courtyard. What will happen after she is discharged from the hospital? There is also my little great-grandson."

Bang Geng considered his grandmother's age, so he said, "Sha Zhu and I are from the same company. If they knew that I sold the house to Sha Zhu for 40,000 yuan, they would think that I was using my power to bully others. Many people don't obey me anyway."

This is certainly not Banggeng’s real thought. In fact, Banggeng has always hated Shazhu in his heart.

Jia Zhang was an old and experienced person. How could she not understand her grandson's thoughts? So she nodded and said, "Okay, then you can go back. I will never look for Sha Zhu again."
