Siheyuan: Traveling through Sizhu, the scumbag father ran away at the beginning

At the same time, in the courtyard of No. 95, Jia Zhang slowly opened her eyes and found that it was already dark outside the window. She had not enjoyed such a comfortable nap for a long time.

She slept for such a long time today. Normally, the little stick terrier would not let her sleep so soundly until the evening.

"Banggeng is so sensible today! Banggeng, where are you?" Jia Zhang called lazily from the bed, but no one answered.

So Jia Zhang raised her voice and called Banggeng again, but there was still no response from Banggeng.

She got out of bed in surprise and searched the room carefully again and again: "Bang Geng? Where are you? Stop playing hide-and-seek with grandma!"

Jia Zhang saw that there was no one in the room except herself, and she couldn't find Bang Geng at all, so she searched every corner of the room in panic.

Xiao Banggeng had occasionally played this hide-and-seek game with her, but today he didn't reply at all. Jia Zhang thought he was playing a prank on her.

There was nothing in the closet! There was nothing under the bed! I searched the whole house, but still nothing!

After searching for Banggeng in vain, Jia Zhang finally realized that Banggeng was not in the house.

Jia Zhang was unwilling to give up and shouted into the house, "Banggeng, come out quickly! You won the game this time! Don't let grandma worry."

However, the only response she received was chilling silence.

At this time, Qin Huairu's voice sounded outside the door: "Bang Geng, mom is back!"

"Bang Geng, mom brought you a gift today. Guess what it is? ... A string of candied haws."

Qin Huairu stroked her slightly bulging belly with one hand and held a string of candied haws with the other, because Banggeng had expressed his wish to eat candied haws in the morning.

In the past, whenever she mentioned that she bought candied haws, Banggeng would always run out excitedly, but today there was no movement, which made Qin Huairu confused.

After entering the house to check, she found Jia Zhang standing there in a daze. She asked, "Mom, is Banggeng sleeping in the bedroom? I bought him some candied haws."

Because she didn't hear any response from Banggeng, Qin Huairu went straight to the inner room to wake him up and give him a surprise.

However, when she arrived at the empty room, she was filled with worry. She hurried to Jia Zhang's side and asked sharply, "Mom, where is Bang Geng? Where is he?"

Only then did Jia Zhang realize the seriousness of the situation and said slowly, "The stick is missing. I searched everywhere in the house but couldn't find it."

As Jia Zhang finished her words, the candied haws slipped from Qin Huairu's hand and fell to the ground.

Where would such a young child run to?

Qin Huairu's mind was in a state of confusion that was beyond words. She urged Jia Zhangshi: "Have you searched the compound? Could it be that he went out to play and got lost?"

Jia Zhang suddenly came to her senses and said, "No, I haven't looked for him in the courtyard yet."

The two women looked at each other, and then hurriedly went from house to house throughout the yard looking for sticks.

They shouted to their neighbors, "Aunt Liu, have you seen our dog? Uncle Ma, have you seen it?"

However, the answer is no.

They searched the backyard, the middle yard, the front yard, and even the places where grain and vegetables were stored, but still found no trace of Banggeng, as if he had disappeared.

The news that Banggeng was missing soon became a hot topic in the whole yard.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang's clothes were soaked with sweat, and they finally met in the central courtyard.

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Mom, you don't have to go to work, how come you can't even take care of a little boy at home? Now Banggeng is missing, what should I do?"

She blamed Jia Zhangshi for Banggeng's disappearance.

In the Jia family, the division of labor has always been clear: Qin Huairu went to work in the steel rolling mill to earn income, and Jia Zhang stayed at home to take care of the children.

However, the disappearance of the child caused conflicts and doubts between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the question of who should be blamed for it.

Qin Huairu's accusatory words were like a gust of cold wind, making Jia Zhang feel depressed.

Although Jia Zhang knew that she was too busy taking a nap to pay attention to Banggeng, she still retorted: "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean I can't even take care of a child?"

"Wouldn't Bang Geng run out to play by himself while I was taking a nap? As your mother-in-law, I will take care of Bang Geng for you, but you don't have to do it!"

"Now that Banggeng is missing, you're putting the blame on me?"

"Who the hell are you?"

Jia Zhang was so angry that Qin Huairu dared to criticize her! Wasn't she worried about Bang Geng? Really!

Qin Huairu was furious when she heard Jia Zhang shi shirking responsibility. She turned around, put one hand on her waist, pointed at Jia Zhang's nose with the other hand and said angrily: "Jia Zhang, what do you mean? You are the one who is worthless!"

"I'm Bangteng's mom!"

"All I know now is that Bang Geng got lost while under your care. You are solely responsible for this!"

Qin Huairu pressed forward step by step.

Seeing that Qin Huairu, who was usually timid, could now look at her directly and even dare to point at her, Jia Zhang's heart was also burning with anger. She stepped forward and slapped Qin Huairu hard on the face: "You ignorant little girl, don't be so arrogant in front of me!"

"I feel really bad for Banggeng getting lost!"

"But I am your mother-in-law, it is not your turn to point fingers and blame me!"

"I won't fall for that!"

Covering her red face, Qin Huairu watched Jia Zhang lose the stick stem due to her carelessness. Not only did she not regret her mistake, but she even hit her.

Her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and driven by anger, she rushed forward and grabbed Jia Zhang's face without hesitation.

In panic, several bright red marks suddenly appeared on Jia Zhang's face. Jia Zhang was not willing to be outdone, and the two of them wrestled with each other.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned home, saw a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law scratching each other in the Central Courtyard, and he immediately became panicked.

The child in Qin Huairu's belly is his son. What if something happens to him? How could he allow this?

Considering Qin Huairu's safety, he quickly stepped forward, blocked Qin Huairu behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Jia Zhang, what are you doing?! Qin Huairu is pregnant!"

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming, Qin Huairu felt relieved as if she had seen a savior. Her focus at the moment was no longer on the entangled Jia Zhang, but she just said anxiously: "Uncle Yi, our little stick is missing."

"Bang Geng is missing? What happened?" Yi Zhonghai asked Qin Huairu pretending to be clueless.

Jia Zhang realized that it was not the time to find out who was responsible. The most important thing was to find her grandson Banggeng. She quickly interjected, "Banggeng and I went to bed together for a nap at noon, and when I woke up... he was gone."

Normally the stick would always wake her up, but this time... Jia Zhang was so anxious that she couldn't speak anymore and tears were flowing.

Although she and Qin Huairu had fought for a while, she knew in her heart that Banggeng's disappearance was her fault: "Banggeng is my lifeblood. If anything happens to him, how can I bear it..."

Yi Zhonghai pretended to think for a moment, then asked anxiously, "Have you searched every corner of the courtyard?"

"Maybe he woke up on his own and went out to play with the other kids?"

Qin Huairu quickly replied, "No, Jia... Mom and I just searched the yard together."

"All the kids came back and said they had never seen a Bang Geng."

Jia Zhang also nodded in agreement: "We have asked every family, but there is no clue at all."

"Then we should immediately hold a meeting of the entire institute and mobilize everyone in the institute to look for Banggen." Yi Zhonghai said without hesitation.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai knew best where Bang Geng was hiding, which was in a small woods and a small mound on the outskirts of the city.

But this did not stop him from continuing to maintain his anxious demeanor as the hospital's urgency, anxiously helping to find someone to clear himself of suspicion.

So after comforting the two of them a little, he walked towards the Xu family, ready to find Xu Fugui. After all, he was the boss of the courtyard now.

Arriving at the door of Xu's house, Yi Zhonghai said straight to the point: "Old Xu, quickly call a meeting for the whole hospital."

"Jia's child Banggeng is missing."

"We need to mobilize the neighbors in the yard to look for him together."

However, Xu Fugui felt somewhat disgusted when he heard Yi Zhonghai's words.

His current identity is the boss in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai's toughness makes him feel that he is still the younger brother and he, Yi Zhonghai, is the boss.

Although he had heard about the Jia family's situation a long time ago, he chose to remain silent for the time being, because even if the entire hospital went out to look for the cause of this troublesome matter, there would be little result.

He just got home from get off work. He has been busy all day and hasn't had much rest yet!

Isn't it good to have a good meal, take a bath, sleep and enjoy yourself? Uncle Liu and Uncle Ma have not expressed their opinions.

No one wants to take on this apparently troublesome responsibility.

Xu Fugui thought the same in his heart, but he could only endure Yi Zhonghai's words silently.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai chattering non-stop, Xu Fugui responded coldly: "Jia Zhang and the others have already looked for the child, but they didn't find him in the courtyard."

"Maybe he was kidnapped by bad guys. I'm afraid we can't help him."

“I suggest calling the police directly!”

It was obvious that Xu Fugui was already fed up with Yi Zhonghai's nagging and just wanted to stay out of it.

Yi Zhonghai was not a stupid person. He immediately understood Xu Fugui’s intention and was secretly happy.

In order to completely eliminate his suspicion of involvement, Yi Zhonghai decided to continue acting according to the script he had prepared: "Xu Fugui, don't you know that there is strength in numbers? If everyone in our hospital goes out to look for him, the chances of finding him will be greater. The police don't have that many people to look for Bang Geng!"

"The sooner we start looking for him, the more hope there is for Banggeng to be found. If you don't come to call a meeting of the whole institute, then I will!"

Seeing Yi Hai leave with a livid face, Xu Fugui was extremely dissatisfied. He cursed him in a low voice and spat forcefully.

Xu Fugui's inaction undoubtedly brought some hope to Yi Hai, giving him the opportunity to regain his position as the boss of the hospital.

As soon as Yan Bugui stepped into the house, he met the three aunts head-on.

"Old Yan, something terrible has happened!" She looked nervous.

Facing the confused Yan Bugui, he said to the third aunt: "What big thing can happen in our yard?"

For Yan Bugui, as long as He Yuzhu was not there, there would be almost no major problems in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the third aunt slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, you don't know! The little stick from the Jia family in the middle courtyard is missing!"

"Even Qin Huairu came to us to inquire just now."

"We have searched the entire yard, but we haven't found anyone."

Then the third aunt speculated: "I think he was abducted."

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was shocked. He didn't expect that such a young boy like Banggeng would be missing.
