Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

Chapter 328: Banggeng Pays Back the Money

Bang Geng knew Qin Huairu's worries. With three children, the family was not well off. But he couldn't help but say, "Mom, you see, now you need a bicycle or a sewing machine to get married. I can't stay single forever, can I?"

Qin Huairu felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She was most worried about Banggeng's marriage, especially since her mother-in-law Jia Zhang kept talking about the importance of carrying on the family line. She sighed, "Banggeng, I also hope you can get married and have grandchildren soon. But this money doesn't come from the wind, so you have to be frugal."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was somewhat relenting, Bang Geng took the opportunity to say, "Mom, I actually have an idea. I have a colleague at work who has connections and can buy a bicycle without a ticket. I told him about it, and he agreed to help me get one."

Qin Huairu was a little surprised when she heard this: "Really? Then we should thank him very much. But we still have to pay for it ourselves, right?"

Bang Geng waved his hands quickly: "No, no, Mom. He said that as long as I give him some money, he can help me bring the bicycle back. Moreover, he also guaranteed that this bicycle is absolutely new and the quality is guaranteed."

Qin Huairu was a little hesitant after hearing this. She knew that Banggeng was a little unreliable in the past, but seeing how serious he was now, she felt that maybe this time it was true.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Mom will trust you this time. But you have to give me the passbook and password, and I will go and withdraw the money myself."

When Banggeng heard this, his face changed.

He quickly said, "Mom, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Just give me the money and I promise to bring the bike back soon."

Qin Huairu felt even more worried when she saw Banggeng's anxious look.

But then she thought that Banggeng had indeed become much more down-to-earth since he started working, and maybe he had really thought it through this time.

She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this time. But you have to remember, this money is for you to buy a bicycle, not for you to spend recklessly."

Bang Geng was relieved to see Qin Huairu finally agreed. He took the money and said confidently, "Don't worry, Mom. I promise I can bring the bike back soon."

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. She hoped that Banggeng could get married soon, but she was also worried that he would disappoint her again. She sighed and continued to get busy.

"Qin Huairu, your son is really sensible. Unlike my boy who just plays all day long." Colleague Xiao Zhang joked.

Qin Huairu smiled, but she was a little worried. She knew her son was about to become an adult and needed a bicycle as a means of transportation. So she decided to go to the bank after get off work to withdraw some money and buy a bicycle for her son.

When she got home, Qin Huairu carefully took out the passbook, fearing that her son would see it. She remembered that the password book was in the drawer, so she quickly took out the money and put the passbook back.

"Mom, I'm back!" Bang Geng's voice sounded at the door.

Qin Huairu quickly hid the money and went out to greet her son. She saw her son holding a bag and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Mom, look what this is?" Banggeng excitedly opened the bag and saw a brand new bicycle.

"Is this... a bicycle?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

"Yes, Mom. I bought it with the money you gave me. It's 90% new and all the paperwork is complete." Bang Geng proudly showed off the bicycle.

Qin Huairu's worries instantly vanished, and she looked at her son with relief in her eyes. She knew that her son had grown up and knew how to share the burden of the family.

"Good son, Mom believes that you will be able to find a good partner, and I will be able to hold my grandson next year." Qin Huairu smiled and patted her son's shoulder.

However, Bang Geng's heart was stirred. He looked at the passbook in his mother's hand and had a bold idea in his mind.

At night, Bang Geng sneaked into his mother's room while she was asleep. He carefully took out the passbook and looked at the numbers on it. When he saw the five-digit number, he was shocked and excited.

"So much money..." Banggeng muttered to himself~.

He suddenly thought of Yi Zhonghai, the neighbor who always pointed fingers at their family. Banggeng felt resentful and wished that Yi Zhonghai would die soon so that he could inherit the fortune.

However, Bang Geng knew that this idea was too crazy. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He realized that time was running out and he had to act quickly. So he wrote down the password, withdrew only one thousand yuan, and put the passbook back to its original place.

"This money... What should I do with this money?" Banggeng muttered to himself, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety. He knew that this money was not obtained legally, and once it was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

At dinner time, Qin Huairu walked into the room carrying a bowl of steaming food. Seeing Banggeng sitting there in a daze, she asked, "What's wrong? Why aren't you eating today?"

Banggeng came to his senses, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and made an excuse: "I...I'm going out to do something." After that, he stood up and hurriedly left home.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's back and felt a little confused. She thought Banggeng was going out to date his girlfriend, so she didn't think much about it.

Bang Geng walked down the street, feeling very nervous. He knew that he couldn't just hide the money and had to find a chance to spend it. However, he was afraid of being discovered, and even more afraid that the money would bring him trouble.

Just then, he passed by a chess and card room. The sound of playing cards and shouting from inside made him stop involuntarily. He stood at the door, looking at the brightly lit and bustling scene inside, and his heart was throbbing.

"How about... let's go in and play a few rounds?" Banggeng thought to himself, but his steps went in involuntarily.

As soon as he entered the card room, Bang Geng was surrounded by a strong smell of cigarettes and sweat. He looked around and saw a group of people sitting around the table, concentrating on playing cards. He took a deep breath and walked to an empty table and sat down.

"Hey, isn't this Banggeng? How come you have time to come here to play?" A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Banggeng looked up and saw that it was one of his creditors.

"I...I just come to take a look." Banggeng replied hesitantly.

"Don't look at it, come and have a go!" the creditor invited enthusiastically. Banggeng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and did it.

After a few rounds, Banggeng had good luck and won a lot of money. This gave him a lot of confidence and he started to increase his bets. However, the good times didn't last long and he soon lost everything.

"Damn it! Why is my luck so bad today!" Banggeng cursed in his heart. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the money in his hand. He gritted his teeth, took out the stack of bills from his pocket and handed it to the creditor.

“This is my money back to you.”

Bang Geng said.
