Chapter 471 The Jia Family Is Desperate, Banggeng Takes the Lead in Revenge

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Because it was the weekend, the residents in the compound went to bed later than usual. It was past nine o'clock, and there were still many people sitting together in the yard chatting.

Among them, the windows and doors of the Jia family in the middle courtyard were wide open, hoping that the moonlight would be more in the house at night, so that Qin Huairu could do more needlework.

Although the position in the factory was suspended, life had to go on. When Jia Dongxu died, he paid a pension, but Jia Zhangshi still didn't use the money, and made it clear that even if she starved to death, she must not touch the money, which was the last thing her son left.

Although Qin Huairu had some thoughts in her mind, she couldn't say anything. As her mother-in-law said, this was also the last thing her man left.

Therefore, she could only work hard to make some money by doing needlework.

In this era, public-private partnerships were established, and individuals were not allowed to do business. As a woman, Qin Huairu could only think of this way to subsidize the family.

Although it is not allowed to do business now, Qin Huairu helped the neighbors with needlework in exchange for some money and food coupons. Even if the organization knew about it, they would not say anything. Moreover, the organization would occasionally ask Qin Huairu for help, which could be regarded as helping the masses solve their life problems.

Of course, even with these helps, the Jia family's life is quite difficult to maintain now.

Because Qin Huairu married into their family over the years, Jia Zhangshi has long become a standard lazy man. It is impossible for her to work. She can only eat and be lazy and take some painkillers from time to time to maintain her life.

At home, she has a strong temper and can control her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu. Therefore, most of the needlework is done by Qin Huairu. Only when she is really too busy, Jia Zhangshi will reluctantly help.

Tonight, Qin Huairu was rushing to make soles for others tomorrow, and suddenly she thought: "Mom, haven't Banggeng and the others come back to sleep yet? Didn't I ask you to watch them so that they don't run around at night?"

At this time, only Jia Zhang's fat body was lying on the kang.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang turned over, dazed, she had just taken a painkiller and was in high spirits. I don't know where this guy got the painkiller when his life is so difficult.

After Qin Huairu's reminder, Jia Zhang finally reacted. She slapped her head and said, "Oh no, Banggeng just said he took his sister out for something. I asked him to come back early. It's past nine o'clock. Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but stop what she was doing: "Nothing will happen, right? It's late at night. Banggeng and his sister are so young. Why are they running around? Mom, you too, what time is it? I agreed to let them go out for a walk, but now they are gone!"

Hearing this, Jia Zhang pouted: "Okay, stop talking to me about this. It's not your turn to educate them. They are just running around the yard. It's the weekend. What's wrong with the children playing for a while? They will come back after looking for them."

Although she said this, Jia Zhang didn't get up and move at all to look for Banggeng and the others.

Qin Huairu saw this and couldn't help but said, "Then, mom, please help me sew these soles. I have to go and call Banggeng and the others back."

Jia Zhang saw this and glanced at the cloth and needles on the sewing machine, and immediately waved her hand: "Come on, I won't bother you. Just focus on sewing the soles here. I'll go find some."

Obviously, sewing on a sewing machine is troublesome, and a lazy guy like Jia Zhang would naturally not do it if she could avoid it.

So, she got up from the kang with her fat body, casually put on a coat, and walked out of the courtyard.

"Banggeng, Huaihua..."

In this era, calling a child means shouting loudly, just like herding sheep. Anyway, the place is so small, and the children can always hear it if you shout.

At the same time, outside an abandoned factory building to the north of the steel mill. Banggeng was walking home with his two sisters.

Among them, Xiaodang was holding Huaihua, who was swaying a little when walking just now, while Banggeng was walking with a sense of pride at this time.

"Brother, why did we burn that piece of paper just now? Besides, that was Uncle He's thing. We stole it. It's not good."

Xiaodang said in a crisp voice.

Hearing this, Banggeng in front didn't even turn his head and snorted coldly: "If you don't say it and I don't say it, who would know that we stole their things? Besides, this is not called stealing! Look at what good things their family eats every day? What do we eat? This kind of people are the most conscienceless. They have good things but don't know how to take care of us. They deserve to burn their things!"

"Keep your mouths shut and don't let the secret out. This time, just let us vent our anger!"

Banggeng had conflicts with Shazhu's family when he was a child. He was sent to discipline for stealing things because of Shazhu's family. Although Banggeng was young at the time, he remembered all these.

Later, because He Yuzhu's family moved out, Banggeng couldn't find any good opportunities. Seeing that the He family was getting better and better, he was always jealous.

Especially in the past few years, his father died and the family conditions became worse and worse. Now, his mother was also suspended from work and stayed at home. The family's life became more and more difficult. This embarrassment made Banggeng worry about where to vent.

He Yushui just happened to come to the door. Admission letter? Going out to eat? I'll burn you with a fire!

Thinking of this, Banggeng's mood, which had been blocked for a long time, finally became much more relaxed. With his two sisters, he hummed a little song happily and walked home.

When they were almost at the alley on the Nanluoguxiang side, they heard Jia Zhang's voice from a distance.

"It's grandma." Xiaodang said quickly.

Seeing this, Banggeng also reminded the two again: "Remember, if we don't reveal it, no one will know that we did it."

Soon, several people met Jia Zhang.

"Hey, where did you guys go so late at night? You're so wild, isn't this worrying grandma!"

After seeing the children, Jia Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She just shouted in the yard, but no one responded. She went to the alley and shouted for several streets. If she still couldn't find the children, Jia Zhang would be really panicked.

"Oh, grandma, it's okay. I just took my sister out to play for a while, and I'm back now."

Bang Geng said perfunctorily. Xiao Dang and Huaihua on the side did not reveal what they did at Bang Geng's suggestion.

Seeing that the children were fine, Jia Zhang said, "Don't play outside so late in the future. Also, don't complain about hunger at night after so much exercise today."

...

When Jia Zhang came back from outside with the children, she heard that the courtyard suddenly became agitated.

The noise came from the middle courtyard.

What happened?

Jia Zhang was a little confused and hurried into the yard with her three children.

However, Bang Geng was not surprised at all when he heard the noise.

Soon, when they arrived at the middle courtyard, there were already quite a few neighbors in the middle courtyard.

"What's going on?"

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, why did so many neighbors suddenly come to the middle courtyard?

"It seems that Zhuzi's family lost something."

"Yes, it seems to be... it seems to be that admission letter?"

"Yes! He Yushui worked hard and got into college. Look, the admission letter was just sent tonight, but it was lost!"

"Got into college?! The admission letter was lost?"

Hearing this series of words, Jia Zhang was first shocked by He Yushui's admission to college, and then heard that the admission letter was lost. Somehow, she felt a sense of gloating. At that moment, the look of worry that was originally a little bit relieved, and he walked to the door of his house slowly with Banggeng, with an expression that looked like he was watching a good show.

At the same time, in the middle courtyard.

He Yuzhu and his family stood at the door, and He Yushui was anxiously looking for his college admission letter in the house.

He had clearly left it at home before going out for dinner, how come it was gone after dinner?

When Jia Zhang came back from outside the yard with Banggeng and a few other guys, He Yuzhu noticed it, but he just glanced at it and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

Instead, he helped He Yushui to continue looking for the admission letter in the house.

After all, this thing is still quite important. If it is lost, it will be quite troublesome to report to the school at that time.

The key is that He Yuzhu saw his sister put the admission letter at home with his own eyes, so it is impossible for it to be lost.

Could it be that there was a thief in the house? ?

After another round of searching, with He Yuzhu's observation ability, as long as the notice is still in the house, it is impossible to miss it, so now it is certain that the admission notice is lost.

Now, the nature of the matter has changed.

Although it is troublesome to reissue the admission notice, at least there is no loss. But if something is lost at home, it is different.

Today it may be the admission notice that is lost, and tomorrow it may be money and food that are lost. If it is really stolen, if the thief is not found out today, the future life will be uncomfortable.

After all, there is only a thief who can be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no thief who can be guarded against for a thousand days. The He family is a big family, and it will definitely be a headache if it is targeted by thieves.

The movement here has attracted the third uncle Yan Bugui in the front yard and the newly promoted first uncle Liu Haizhong in the backyard.

Of course, Xu Damao, who has become the second uncle by flattering, also followed here in a pretentious manner.

"Zhuzi, what's going on? Come and explain why there's so much chaos. Our compound is not usually like this."

Xu Damao pointed at He Yuzhu, looking quite high-spirited.

However, He Yuzhu didn't even look at him.

He Yuzhu, the guy who used chicken feathers as a token of authority, was just thinking, who would come to their house to steal things?

Seeing that he was directly ignored by He Yuzhu, Xu Damao was a little embarrassed. After all, he was the second uncle now, and this was in front of so many people.

He wanted to continue to say something, but the third uncle Yan Bugui came to Zhuzi before him: "Zhuzi, what happened? Something was lost at home?"

When he came to the middle courtyard, he heard a few words.

He Yuzhu nodded when he saw this: "Yushui's college admission letter was just delivered today. It was still there when our family went out for dinner in the evening. I didn't see it when I came back. There must be a thief in our courtyard."

This was in response to the third uncle, and the voice was also not concealed, so the neighbors around heard Zhuzi's words clearly.

Hearing that a thief had entered the He family and had stolen He Yushui's admission letter, Xu Damao felt relieved and almost laughed. However, he quickly pretended to be serious and said, "Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense. Maybe you forgot where you put your things. Our compound has been around for so long, when has there ever been a thief?"

"Okay, Xu Damao, no one will think you are dumb if you say less. Instead of worrying about other people's families, why not go home and think about your own family? After all these years, it's quite lonely to bring a wife and a family. I don't know better than you whether things are lost or not?"

Seeing that Xu Damao was really making trouble here, He Yuzhu also made a sarcastic remark without hesitation.

As soon as this was said, the surrounding neighbors burst into laughter. After all, it was already a well-known fact that the Xu family didn't lay eggs.

"Zhuzi, you... you are exposing my shortcomings, right? You... you wait, I will never let you go!"

This is about the dignity of men. Xu Damao is always easily angered. His face was flushed at this moment, and he almost jumped up to fight with He Yuzhu.

"Okay, Xu Damao, you should stop talking for a while."

At the same time, the uncle Liu Haizhong picked up the tone and waved at Xu Damao. Then, he put his hands behind his back and walked in front of everyone.

"Zhuzi, I just heard about your situation. What Comrade Xu Damao said just now is not unreasonable. The admission letter is just a piece of paper. Maybe you put it in a corner of your home. You can't just attack other people's shortcomings directly, right?"

After this, everyone still couldn't help laughing.

Xu Damao was grinning at He Yuzhu at this time: "That's right! How can a great man be a great man? Who would steal your admission letter these days? I don't want it even if you give it to me for free!"

"I say, Xu Damao, you have always felt that my things have not been stolen since you came out. What's the matter? Are you guarding my door to see if no one comes to steal or what? Could it be that you stole the things? So you have been explaining here?"

"Zhuzi, don't talk nonsense here. Just talk nicely. Don't accuse me of stealing. This thing is of a different nature."

Xu Damao was startled and said to He Yuzhu.
