Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

"Grandma, didn't you say you had no money?" Bang Geng stared at Jia Zhang with wide eyes and asked angrily.

Qin Huairu followed up with a question: "Mom..."

"Last time, in order to keep Banggeng's job at the steel mill, I asked you for 200 yuan and you said you didn't have it. How come you want 500 yuan now...Banggeng is your grandson, the only grandson of the Jia family?"

Faced with Qin Huairu and Banggeng's repeated questioning, Jia Zhang suddenly reacted.

I was so excited about earning a hundred dollars just now that I actually revealed all my family assets.

But now that things have come to this, there is no need to continue hiding it, and Qin Huairu and Banggeng will not believe it.

In order to prevent this incident from damaging her relationship with Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, Jia Zhang could only bite the bullet and explain...

"Huai Ru... Bang Geng... You misunderstood..."

"Is it true that the retirement money I saved is gone?"

"Then why do you still have money to lend to Kuihua, and why did you lend her 500 yuan at once?" Banggeng interrupted without hesitation.

"That's not my pension money..." Jia Zhang could only continue to explain, hoping to get away with it.

"That's your father's pension. No one in our family can use it unless it's a critical moment..."

Bang Geng didn't believe Qin Huairu's excuse at all. He frowned and asked back, "Even if it's my father's pension, it's also your retirement money."

"I almost lost my job last time, which was always a critical moment for our family, but I didn't hear you mention the pension."

"If Kuihua hadn't asked to borrow money today, I wouldn't have known that you had saved so much money for retirement..."

Seeing the disappointment on Banggeng's face, Jia Zhang was afraid that her only grandson would no longer care about her, so she could only cry and call out anxiously, "Banggeng..."

"Grandma really didn't lie to you..."

"Grandma did all this for you... Your father's pension is the last bit of money our Jia family has. It must not be used easily unless it is necessary to save a life."

"So grandma hid him and didn't tell anyone."

Seeing that Banggeng was still looking at her with an expression of disbelief, Jia Zhang became even more anxious.

At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly interrupted: "Mom..."

"Since you said that this money was Dongxu's pension back then, and Banggeng has grown up now, this money definitely cannot be left in your hands anymore."

"The pension should not only be used to support you in your old age, but also to support Banggeng's marriage, so at least two hundred yuan should be given to Banggeng..."

"Give me another two hundred dollars..."

"As compensation for raising the terrier to adulthood..."

"Although I am Bang Geng's mother, it is my responsibility to raise Bang Geng to adulthood."

"But Dongxu is also Banggeng's father. Even if he dies, he should still take the responsibility of raising Banggeng to adulthood."

"So out of this 500 yuan pension, at least 200 yuan should belong to me... and the remaining 100 yuan will be left for your retirement."

Banggeng's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he could get two hundred yuan from it.

Facing Jia Zhang's almost cannibalistic gaze, Bang Geng was not afraid at all.

He also wanted to save some private money now, so he nodded without hesitation when faced with Qin Huairu's distribution plan: "I agree..."

"Five hundred dollars in pension, give me two hundred dollars, give my mom two hundred dollars, and keep one hundred dollars for yourself, grandma."

Seeing that Bang Geng actually stood on Qin Huairu's side and agreed to the distribution plan proposed by Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang was now in tears.

I had planned to earn 100 yuan in interest from Kuihua with the 500 yuan pension, but I ended up losing 400 yuan instead of the interest.

Jia Zhang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

Qin Huairu and Bang Geng were both standing in front of her, staring at her covetously. If Qin Huairu was alone, Jia Zhang could still get away with it by throwing a tantrum and making a fuss.

Now with the addition of a reckless Bang Geng, no matter how Jia Zhang acts like a spoiled brat, he will not be able to get away with it, and it may even damage the relationship between him and Bang Geng.

In order to avoid Banggeng not caring about her in the future, Jia Zhang had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

If anyone is to blame, blame himself for being too careless just now. He actually exposed his entire family assets for a hundred dollars of interest.

No matter how unwilling she was, she had to bow to the two men.

He sighed and replied, "I'll give it to you..."

After saying that, he didn't say anything else and went straight into the inner room and closed the door.

Five minutes later, he came out with a frustrated look on his face, holding the forty Great Unity bills that had been counted.

He divided it into two parts, handed one half to Qin Huairu and the other half to Banggeng, and reminded them: "Huairu...Banggeng..."

"This is my last bit of savings. If I give it all to you now, I will have no more money. When I can no longer work, you must respect me well."

Facing Jia Zhang, who had deceived him several times, Bang Geng no longer believed her words and said bluntly, "Grandma..."

"Didn't I just leave you a hundred dollars? How can you say you have no money?"

"Why don't you give me the hundred dollars as well? When you can't work anymore, I will definitely take good care of you and provide for your retirement."

At this point, a greedy expression flashed across Banggeng's face.

Jia Zhang was so angry at Bang Geng's words that she almost cursed on the spot. She refused without hesitation: "No..."

"It's impossible that grandma doesn't have a penny..."

"This is the last bit of money that Grandma has saved. I definitely can't give it to you."

Qin Huairu curled her lips and didn't respond.

Based on her understanding of Jia Zhang, if Kuihua had not borrowed money from her today and Jia Zhang had not exposed her entire capital for the sake of interest, no one in the family would have known that Jia Zhang had hidden so much wealth.

As for whether Jia Zhang has hidden other family assets, there is no doubt about it.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. A money-loving person like Jia Zhang would definitely not put all his assets together.

In addition to the one hundred dollars given to him as part of the pension, she must have hidden other money.

We have already taken out a full four hundred yuan from Jia Zhang today. If we continue to take out her other pension money, she will definitely be driven crazy.

So when faced with Jia Zhang's lies, Qin Huairu did not choose to see through them.

As long as the money is with Jia Zhang, if you take it out a little at a time, it will all fall into your hands in the end.

Anyway, Jia Zhangshi doesn't spend much money on a daily basis, so Qin Huairu doesn't mind this little bit of time.

Faced with this sudden accident at home, Kuihua, who wanted to borrow money, was confused.

Because of borrowing money, Jia Zhang's family background was exposed.

In the end, Bang Geng and Qin Huairu each earned 200 yuan, Jia Zhangshi was left with 100 yuan, and as the instigator, he did not earn a penny. (End of this chapter)
