Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Banggeng still works in the steel mill as an apprentice.

Now the income is based on piecework, and everyone is working very hard.

Those who were not so skilled also began to humbly ask for advice from workers with better skills.

Those with good skills also work hard to hone their skills so that they can process parts more quickly.

Everyone has something to do except Bang Geng.

Qin Huairu is gone, and now no one wants to pay attention to him, so naturally no one is willing to teach him a craft.

I feel like I don’t have enough time to earn money, so how can I have the time to teach a prisoner?

No one taught him, and Banggeng himself didn't know how to do it, so he could only sit there doing nothing every day.

The steel mill also notified those who had retired to return to the factory.

Under the pretext of re-employment, these experienced masters were asked to take a skills test.

Those who have skills and are willing to continue working in the steel rolling mill can return to the corresponding positions according to their corresponding technical skills.

Of course, you will receive your salary in full.

However, while working, they also have to guide their fellow workers in their work skills. This is also for the future of the steel rolling mill, allowing these old comrades to make use of their remaining energy.

Although Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were not young anymore, they heard that they could be re-employed, so they ran back to the steel mill to take the exam in a panic.

Yi Zhonghai is too old and his hands and feet are shaking, so the steel mill naturally cannot employ him anymore.

But these are all excuses.

Branch Secretary Yang knew that Yi Zhonghai had a grudge against He Yuzhu, so how could he offend his immediate superior for Yi Zhonghai?

As for Liu Haizhong.

It was Lou Xiao'e who met him in person.

Liu Haizhong was the first person Lou Xiao'e wanted to take revenge on.

It was this guy who led people to arrest his parents and ransacked his home.

How could I let him go?

Liu Haizhong was flattered to see that it was Chairman Lou who came to meet him in person.

He is the chairman of the board, and he actually came to meet me in person. This shows how important my status is.

"Are you Liu Haizhong?"

Lou Xiao'e sat on the office sofa, looked at Liu Haizhong coldly and asked him.

Liu Haizhong nodded and said.

"Yes... yes, I am Liu Haizhong, a seventh-level blacksmith. I used to be a production team leader and a patrol team leader, so I have certain management skills."

"If the chairman lets me be the factory director, or if not, the deputy factory director, I won't be picky. But please rest assured, chairman, I will definitely lead the steel mill to another glorious future."

Liu Haizhong was talking big there, but he didn't notice the murderous intent in Lou Xiaoe's eyes.

But Lou Xiao'e couldn't be so stupid as to fool Liu Haizhong. This was against the law and couldn't be done.

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e spoke.

"Liu Haizhong, do you know me?"

Liu Haizhong’s fellow villager Lou Xiaoe then said with a smile.

"I know. You are Chairman Lou. Everyone in the factory knows you!"

Lou Xiao'e laughed out loud and clapped her hands.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect Master Liu to have such a good memory. Do you know Lou Zhenhua?"

Lou Xiao'e continued to ask.

Liu Haizhong frowned.

"Lou Zhenhua, isn't that the former chairman of the steel mill? I heard that the Red Star Steel Mill was originally the private property of the Lou family, and later became a public property."

"They all have the surname Lou, could it be that...!"

Liu Haizhong seemed to have thought of something and looked at Lou Xiaoe.

However, he had never seen Lou Zhenhua, so even if Lou Xiao'e looked exactly like her father, Liu Haizhong would not be able to recognize them.

“You…you are Chairman Lou’s daughter?”

Lou Xiao'e did not answer, but just looked at him coldly. However, her silence had already answered Liu Haizhong's question.

After Liu Haizhong confirmed that Lou Xiao'e and Lou Zhenhua were a family, he hurriedly said to Lou Xiao'e with a smile.

"Mr. Lou, look, your father and I are of the same generation, so I am your elder. Don't worry, when I become the deputy director, I will definitely manage the steel mill as if it were my own business."

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e laughed again.

"Liu Haizhong, let's not talk about the factory director or deputy factory director for now. It seems we still have some accounts to settle!"

Liu Haizhong frowned curiously.

"Account? What account?"

Liu Haizhong really forgot that he led people to search the house.

"Back then, I heard that it was you and Xu Damao who led people to raid my house. You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

After Liu Haizhong heard this, his head buzzed.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had actually robbed Lou's house and received several hundred dollars in unexpected money from the Lou family!

"Mr. Lou, I was helpless about this matter back then. It was all because of Xu Damao. He said that your family is rich, but you are a capitalist-roader, and you will be liquidated sooner or later."

"So they discussed it with me and said: Since it's all about liquidation, why don't we do it ourselves instead of having others do it?"

"So, I'm reporting your family."

"Actually, I have been regretting this for years. I would never do such a wicked thing. Unlike Xu Damao, he did too many wicked things, so he ended up with a ruined family."

Liu Haizhong was about to continue nagging, but was interrupted by the impatient Lou Xiaoe.

"Alright, this is a matter between you and Xu Damao, I don't want to hear about it. Anyway, I won't let anyone who bullied my family go. Tell me, should we settle it publicly or privately?"

Lou Xiao'e wanted Liu Haizhong to die, but in a society ruled by law, murder is also a capital crime, no matter if it is done personally or by instigating others to do it.

Actually, it’s public.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't do anything about Liu Haizhong.

In that era and with that background, there were many such unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Liu Haizhong is just a small shrimp. Even if the country wants to settle accounts, it will not be his fault.

However, he can escape the death penalty, but cannot be forgiven for the crime of living. It is impossible for him to spend his old age in peace, at least not so easily and comfortably.

"Little...Boss Lou, what does this mean by public settlement... and private settlement...?"

Liu Haizhong asked tremblingly.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the rich, and the rich have not fought with the officials.

How can a retired old man like me fight against the wealthy capitalists?

"Isn't this nonsense? Since you're pretending to be confused, there's no need to settle it privately. Ah Hao, call the police and find Zhuzi's sister Liu Zhiyuan. They're all acquaintances anyway!"

Lou Xiao'e's words frightened Liu Haizhong so much that he collapsed to the ground.

Liu Zhiyuan knew that Sha Zhu's sister's brother was now the deputy director.

If I let him come, won’t I play anymore? I have bullied the He brothers and sisters before, and I’m afraid they are worried that they have no reason to punish me.

If Mr. Lou really went to him to call the police, he would be in great pain if he didn't die.

"Mr. Lou...Mr. Lou, don't go. Let's settle this privately...privately."

Liu Haizhong almost knelt down. He decided that as long as Mr. Xiao Lou forgave him, he would pay any price.

"Okay, we can settle it privately. You're already in your forties. If you really have to go to jail, I'm afraid you'll die in prison in just a few months."

Lou Xiao'e did not forget to scare Liu Haizhong. If she didn't scare him, how could he agree to the next conditions?

Liu Haizhong kept bowing to Lou Xiaoe to express his gratitude, thanking her for letting him go.

"Your current retirement salary is also paid by the steel mill. I didn't care about it before, but now my Lou family has taken over the steel mill, so it is impossible to pay you your retirement salary. Do you have any opinions on this?"

Liu Haizhong's legs went limp and he sat on the ground.

How will I live in the future without my pension? But I cannot refuse this condition.

Even though life is hard, it's better than going to jail.

Liu Haizhong nodded helplessly and agreed to Lou Xiao'e's conditions.

In this way, Liu Haizhong also lost his pension, and from now on, he no longer has a pension.

Liu Haizhong now feels extremely regretful. He regrets why he provoked the Lou family back then, but in the end he got nothing.

Liu Haizhong was unhappy, and Banggeng was also unhappy.

He had worked for a month under the new system at the steel mill, but had not earned a penny because he could not get the hang of it at all.

Without work, there was no income. After a whole month, he didn't earn a penny.

Seeing others holding large amounts of money, he felt very anxious.

"Damn it, Silly Zhu, you are the one again, starting to go against me. In my previous life, did I kill your father with a knife or sleep with your wife?"

Banggeng recalled Shazhu’s arrogant speech at the conference a month ago.

I also thought about how I had been "busy" for a month but didn't earn a penny, and I felt so angry.

This idiot has been targeting his family since he was very young.

He once broke his hands and feet, which caused him to not only limp but also have difficulty in moving his right hand.

but…….

I can't afford to offend him.

But if I can't afford to provoke them, I can at least hide away. Since I can't stay in Sijiu City anymore, I'll go out and make a living.

Now with reform and opening up, as long as you are bold, there will always be opportunities to make a fortune. Why stay in this old city?

Having made up his mind, Banggeng quickly decided to go south to Guangdong Province, where development is in full swing.

There must be gold everywhere waiting for you to pick it up.

He didn't tell anyone about this because he needed money. If his family knew about it, they would definitely be wary of him, and then where would he get the money?

The money... is there at home. Didn’t his mother, Qin Huairu, just receive nearly 600 yuan in compensation?

As long as I steal this money, I will have the travel expenses and money to go south.

Maybe you can use this money to start a business and earn your first pot of gold.

Thinking that he would be wealthy in the future, he drove back to the old city in his car, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he took out a large box of money and put it in his mother's hands.

Let those neighbors who look down on your family look up to you.

Only in this way did Banggeng feel that he had vented the anger in his heart.

When he got home, Banggeng threw the canvas bag in his hand onto the bed and lay there motionless.

Qin Huairu saw her precious son coming back and asked with concern.

"Bang Geng, you must be very tired from work today. Get up and wash your hands and get ready for dinner. After dinner, Xiao Dang will come over and say that her company has issued some movie tickets and wants to treat our whole family to a movie."

When Bang Geng heard that the whole family was going out to see a movie, he thought this was a good opportunity to steal money. If not now, when would he steal?

"Forget it, you guys go and have a look. I'm so tired. I'm not going to eat. I'm going to take a nap!"

Banggeng simply waved his hand to refuse and told his mother and the others to go.

Qin Huairu didn't say much about this, perhaps because her son was too tired from work.

So I sighed and went out to eat.

Not long after, Xiaodang's family arrived, and the Jia family also packed up and went out quickly.

Banggeng lay on the bed and waited for a while before he got up and walked into the main room. It was pitch black and everyone had indeed gone out.

So he quickly ran to the inner room and began to look for Qin Huairu's compensation.

Although he hadn't stolen anything in all those years in prison, as he was born with the physique of a thief, he quickly found a red cloth bag from the gap between the bedside table and the wall.

When he opened it, it was Qin Huairu's compensation.

After counting, there were more than 700 yuan, some of which must have been Qin Huairu's private money.

Banggeng tied up the red cloth bag, stuffed it into his crotch, and tied it together with his underwear.

He packed a few sets of clothes and hurried out while there were not many people in the yard during dinner time.

When Qin Huairu and her friends came back from the movie, they saw the house in a mess, as if it had been robbed.

Suddenly his mind went blank, and then he rushed into the inner room crying and still muttering.

"Money, my money, my life!"

Then, the neighbors in the yard who heard the noise came out to watch the fun.

Then everyone in the hospital heard Qin Huairu's miserable cry.

"Oh my god, my money, all my money is gone, all gone!!"

However, this time the Jia family did not choose to call the police, because along with the money, her beloved son Banggeng also disappeared.

It was obvious that Banggeng stole the money from the family and then absconded.

Many years later, the Jia family once again became the laughing stock of the Siheyuan.
