Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"What's going on? Why is this old woman sitting on the ground crying like this?"

"This old woman is crying so sadly, could it be that her grandson died?"

"This old woman looks quite pitiful. If her grandson really died, I would be willing to donate a few cents to him."

The middle-aged man explained: "I don't know what happened. I passed by this alley and saw him lying on the ground unconscious, so I went over to wake her up, and she started crying loudly after she woke up."

Jia Zhang knew that his money must have been robbed by a street thief, who then ran away. It was basically impossible to get the money back.

But she had worked so hard to earn this money, and she would never allow it to be lost.

Jia Zhang's mung bean-like eyes kept flashing, and she immediately thought of a solution. She hugged the middle-aged man's thighs and said with a face full of grief and anger:

"You're lying. It was you who stopped me, knocked me unconscious without explanation, and then robbed me of my money."

"Please, give me back the money. It's my grandson's life-saving money!"

"I lost my husband when I was young, and my son when I was middle-aged. I have been dependent on my daughter-in-law and I to raise three children. Now my only grandson is seriously ill and his life is in danger. The money is for my grandson's medical treatment. You can't take it away!"

Jia Zhang's expression was sad, her voice was mournful, her tears were streaming, and her nose was running. No one could tell that she was faking it.

Jia Zhang's performance like a movie queen directly ignited the anger of the enthusiastic crowd, and they began to criticize the middle-aged man.

"Comrade, you are tall and strong, you have arms and legs, why don't you do anything else? Why do you have to do this highway robbery? It's easy to lose your head!"

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. You look kind and gentle, so I thought you were a good person. But you are so bad that you even stole the old lady's life-saving money. Return it to her as soon as possible."

"Pay back the money quickly, or we will take you to the police station immediately."

"You have to think carefully. It's not too late to pay the money back now. If you really go to the police station, even if you are not shot, you will spend decades in prison."

The middle-aged man looked at the enthusiastic crowd who were excited and enthusiastic, his face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his mind was blank.

After a while, the middle-aged man finally realized that he was being scammed by the old woman. He instantly became furious and scolded with a sullen face:

"I, Bi Yunyao, have been teaching for nearly twenty years, and I have never seen anyone as despicable and shameless as you. I woke you up with good intentions, but not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you repay kindness with hatred and wrongly accuse me of stealing your money. Do you still have a conscience?"

"Do you know that slandering me like this will not only ruin my reputation for life, but may also kill me?"

Everyone saw that Bi Yunyao's face was full of indignation and did not seem to be faking it. In addition, the other party revealed that he was a teacher, so they could not help but become suspicious. After all, they did not see the other party robbing people on the road, they only heard what Jia Zhang said.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Zhang immediately knelt down in front of Bi Yunyao and kowtowed.

"Teacher Bi, you can beat me or kill me, but please return the money to me. My grandson is still waiting for the money to save his life."

The enthusiastic crowd, who had been wavering just now, became angry again when they saw Jia Zhang kowtow to others.

"What's wrong with teachers? Aren't there any bad people among the teaching staff? There's a teacher in my cousin's hospital who is so bad that he seems to be called Yan Bugui!"

"That's right. No matter who you are, you can't rob an old woman of her life-saving money."

"If you do something wrong, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. Since you have robbed the old lady of her money, you should return it to her immediately. Don't let it end badly in the end."

As a teacher, Bi Yunyao was thoughtful, shrewd, and knowledgeable. He was not panicked at all and said calmly:

"You said I robbed the old lady, so please show me the evidence. If you can't show me the evidence, it's slander, and you will go to jail if you slander someone."

When the enthusiastic crowd heard this, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, because they really had no evidence.

At this time, everyone calmed down and was no longer affected by Jia Zhang's performance. Instead, they all looked at Jia Zhang.

"Don't be afraid, old lady. Show us the evidence that he robbed you. With us here, he won't dare to do anything to you."

"Yes! How much money did he rob you of? How many tens? How many one-dollar bills?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang was terrified. She gritted her teeth and said with determination:

"It was this bastard who stole my money. I saw it with my own eyes. I am an old woman, I can't possibly lie."

Bi Yunyao sneered: "I said I saw you kill someone with my own eyes?"

"Old woman, the testimony of the parties involved cannot be used as evidence. Next time you want to scam someone, you'd better do more preparation, otherwise you'll easily make a fool of yourself."

Jia Zhang's heart tightened and she continued to throw a tantrum.

"Oh my! This is so unfair. I won't live any longer. This heartless person stole my grandson's life-saving money, not only did he not admit it, but he also filed a complaint first..."

"Oh my God! Please send a thunderbolt down and kill me!"

"Old Jia! Dongxu! If you died, everything would be over, but you left us, an orphan and a widow, to suffer in this world!"

"Why is my life so miserable? I finally raised my son to adulthood and married him off. I thought I could enjoy a peaceful life, but he died instead, leaving me with nothing to lose."

"Dongxu! You are so unfilial! You go down there and enjoy yourself, leaving us, young and old, to be bullied."

"Dongxu! I'm sorry. Banggeng is dying, but I lost the money for his life!"

Jia Zhang beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying so hard that her heart was broken, which instantly aroused everyone's sympathy.

"Ma'am, how much money did you lose?"

Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and cried, "Forty-eight yuan, that's all our family savings. I rely on this money to save my grandson's life!"

When they heard the amount of 48 yuan, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They could still donate one or two yuan, but they couldn't afford forty or fifty yuan.

"Ms. Bi, please return the 48 yuan to her. Do you think she is so anxious?"

Bi Yunyao said in a deep voice: "I still say the same thing, I didn't steal her money."

"Don't bother him, just take him to the police station and let him get shot. He's justified in robbing people on the road."

"Comrade, return the money to the owner. If you go to the police station, your life will be over."

"Yes! Less trouble is worse than more trouble. Just think of it as losing money to avoid disaster!"

Bi Yuntao said coldly: "It's over only if I give the money. If I give the money, won't I really become a robber? I can't wash away my innocence in this life even if I jump into the Yellow River."

"I have nothing to fear if I am innocent. I agree to go to the police station. I don't believe you can really turn black into white and turn me, a kind-hearted person who loves to help others, into a robber."
