Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Director Xu couldn't help but glare at him, then said, "Stop talking nonsense. There was a fire at Master Yi's house yesterday, and all the property in the house was lost.

I came here today not only to express my condolences to Master Yi's family on behalf of the street, but also to learn the truth about the fire."

After that, Director Xu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master Yi, please tell me first."

Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to say that it was just an accident, he couldn't help feeling a little unfair when he thought about how his savings and food capital over the years were wiped out in the fire.

What's more, his life is now back to the starting point, so naturally he feels a little resentful.

In the Jia family, no form of condolences or care has been shown so far, and this cold attitude makes people feel chilling.

"Director Xu, let me explain what happened." Yi Zhonghai said slowly, "Yesterday, Banggeng was enjoying dinner at my house. Yumei and I were out, so Banggeng was the only one left at home. Not long after, a fire broke out at home. When we returned, we saw the coal stove overturned, but Banggeng was nowhere to be seen."

He sighed and continued, "Although I cannot directly conclude that this matter is related to Banggeng, it may just be his momentary negligence."

Although Yi Zhonghai did not directly point out Bang Geng's fault, the implication was very clear.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately retorted emotionally: "Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean? My Banggeng is a well-behaved child, how could he do such a thing?" She spoke fiercely and even began to accuse Yi Zhonghai, "I think you are envious of my family's prosperity and want to frame Banggeng! If anything happens to Banggeng, I will never forgive you!"

Before she finished her words, Jia Zhang rushed towards Yi Zhonghai and tried to attack him.

However, several young men in the yard stopped her in time, but Yi Zhonghai had already left several scratches on his face.

"Jia Zhang!" Director Xu shouted, "How dare you hit someone in public? You are so lawless! Pull her away quickly!"

Under Director Xu's authority, Jia Zhang was temporarily taken aside.

Jia Dongxu was a coward and never dared to speak out. Although Qin Huairu felt sorry for her son, she did not dare to act rashly in front of Director Xu.

Finally, Banggeng was brought before Director Xu.

His face was pale and he was trembling all over, obviously frightened by the scene before him.

Under Director Xu's stern questioning, Banggeng finally admitted that he accidentally kicked over the stove while setting off firecrackers and fled out of fear.

These words made the truth of the whole matter clear.

Among the crowd of onlookers, Yi Zhonghai and the middle-aged woman were extremely excited, and they almost wanted to rush forward and teach Banggeng a lesson.

After all, if Bang Geng had been a little more alert and issued a timely warning at the moment when the fire was about to get out of control, the Yi family’s losses would not have been so heavy, and the items that had been treasured in the home for many years would not have been reduced to ashes.

Thinking of this, perhaps some of the wealth that Yi Zhonghai has accumulated through years of hard work can still be preserved.

Director Xu's face was also extremely serious. He knew very well that this incident could not be easily resolved.

Especially when they learned that the culprit who caused the fire in the Yi family was actually a child who was only six or seven years old.

"Wait a minute," someone in the crowd suddenly interrupted, "Have you ever thought about where Banggeng got the money to buy firecrackers?" Obviously, the Jia family would not give Banggeng pocket money to buy firecrackers.

Although Jia Zhang doted on her grandson, it was more of a verbal concern. As for letting Banggeng use money to buy firecrackers, she had never thought of such a luxury.

Bang Geng was so frightened at this moment that he told the whole story in a trembling voice: "I took the money to buy firecrackers from Uncle Sha Zhu's house. I saw a lot of money in Uncle Sha Zhu's bedside table, so I secretly took a ten-yuan note."

"What?" Hearing this, Sha Zhu suddenly realized that he was also related to this incident and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Although he usually had the habit of hiding his own money, due to his generous personality, he would keep a portion of his salary every time he received it, and then casually put the rest of the money in the bedside table, rarely counting how much he had.

When Sha Zhu learned that Banggeng had actually stolen ten dollars from his home, his expression became very complicated.

Let's hold him accountable. After all, Banggeng is Qin Huairu's child. He has a good impression of Qin Huairu, so he turns a blind eye to some of Banggeng's little actions.

But let's not pursue it. This time it was stealing money. If we indulge it, it might lead to disaster in the future. At this time, Qin Huairu also realized that her son had caused a big disaster.

If it happened in private, it would be fine, but now the director of the street office is present, and it is impossible to cover it up. Whether it is arson or theft, these two charges are enough to make Banggeng receive a period of discipline.

"Zhu Zi," Qin Huairu tried to plead for her son, "My son Bang Geng really didn't mean it. He and you have a good relationship. Besides, he is still young and doesn't know the seriousness of stealing. Don't take it personally."

Sha Zhu originally had no intention of arguing with Bang Geng. He knew very well that all this was the child's unintentional mistake.

When Qin Huairu pleaded with him in front of everyone, he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

"Sister Qin, why do you have to be like this?" He sighed softly, a hint of fatigue in his voice, "How could I really be so petty with a child?"

He paused and continued, "In fact, the fact that Banggeng frequently comes to my house to get things proves that he doesn't treat me as an outsider. In his heart, we are at least close."

He turned to look at Yi Zhonghai standing beside him, his eyes filled with earnestness: "Uncle, don't be too serious. Banggeng is young and ignorant, and he didn't kick over your coal stove intentionally. Why should we really bother with him?"

"In my opinion, for Sister Qin's sake, why don't we just let this matter go?" He proposed a suggestion for reconciliation, trying to defuse the storm.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Zhonghai's face immediately darkened.

He never expected that he would be "morally kidnapped" in this way, and the perpetrator was Sha Zhu, who was known for his straightforwardness.

What was even more difficult for him to accept was that Sha Zhu only lost ten dollars, while he lost at least a thousand dollars because of this incident. How could the two be compared?

But Yi Zhonghai knew that he couldn't lose his temper at this moment. He had to maintain a fair and generous image and not let others think that he was nitpicking with a child.

So, he took a deep breath, calmed down his anger, and slowly said: "Zhu Zi, what you said makes sense. But Bang Geng is still young after all, and he needs proper guidance."

"I think that for Banggeng's future, we should send him to a juvenile detention center for education. Only in this way can he become a person who is beneficial to society." He turned to Director Xu, hoping to get his support.
