The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 199 Jia Zhang is in trouble

The affairs of the Yan family had been circulating in the courtyard for quite some time.

As the manager of the courtyard house, Yan Bugui was too embarrassed to hang around outside for a while.

In the end, Yan Bugui took a step back.

How can a parent win over a child? Unless the parent has no feelings for the child. Otherwise, when the two sides have a dispute, the only ones who will compromise in the end are the parents.

Yan Jiecheng and Sun Ailian finally moved out of the Yan family and rented a house at the back of the courtyard.

However, the couple still ate with the Yan family.

As for how much food expenses are paid each month and how much monthly salary is turned in, this is not something outsiders can know.

Anyway, after Yan Jiecheng and his wife moved out, Yan Bugui and Yang Ruihua rarely smiled anymore.

Shen Zhiping occasionally met Yan Bugui and found out when talking to him that Yan Bugui seemed to be much older than before and no longer as shrewd and calculating as before.

"Wife, do you think Teacher Yan is getting discouraged?"

Shen Zhiping felt that Yan Bugui might have been disappointed by Yan Jiecheng, and he no longer had any expectations for the remaining three children.

However, what Shen Zhiping couldn’t understand was that given Yan Bugui’s age and personality, his psychological endurance shouldn’t be so poor.

Liu Wanqing gave Shen Zhiping a charming roll of the eyes and said, "I don't have much contact with Teacher Yan, so your question is really unreasonable!"

"Oh, I'm just discussing this with you!"

Shen Zhiping sighed, "Tell me, what's the point of raising children?"

If children are unfilial, not only will half of your life's efforts be wasted, but you will also feel hopeless.

Shen Zhiping, who has lived two lives, has seen too many unfilial children. Sometimes he even finds it strange: what is the point of raising children?

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Why don't you go back and ask my parents?"

Liu Wanqing glanced at Shen Zhiping with a smile.

Shen Zhiping quickly shook his head and said, "It's better not to trouble the two elders with such a small matter!"

"I'm just asking casually, just thinking about it!"

"Oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore!"

Shen Zhiping waved his hands irritably.

These bad things happening in the Yan family really mess up people's mentality.

……

It was not until more than a month later that the gossip about the Yan family in the courtyard basically stopped, and only then could a slight smile appear on Yan Bugui's face.

But whenever someone mentioned Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui's face would quickly darken.

I guess this matter won’t be resolved in a few years.

Of course, unless something more eye-catching happened in the courtyard during this period of time, diverting everyone's attention.

Coincidentally, something really happened in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang is in trouble!
Human greed really has no end.

Although Jia Zhang did a lot of work in the cafeteria, she would bring some leftovers back from time to time, which made Jia Zhang and Bang Geng's life quite comfortable.

Eat well and feel energetic.

Although Jia Zhang did some odd jobs in the cafeteria, her performance was still very good.

Even though the canteen director was quite dissatisfied with her, he gradually discovered that Jia Zhang was actually quite capable.

Since you are so capable, give you more responsibilities!

Therefore, the canteen director gave Jia Zhang more responsibilities and asked her to be in charge of the organization and cleaning of the warehouse.

There was a lot of rice, flour and meat in the canteen's warehouse. Letting Jia Zhang be in charge of the warehouse's organization was undoubtedly like letting a rat into the rice jar.

However, at the beginning, Jia Zhang was afraid of being caught, so she didn't dare to do anything.

But gradually, Jia Zhang found that no one would care if she took a little bit of things away from the warehouse.

Simply put, a handful of rice, a handful of noodles, and a pound of meat, just a small bit at a time, and no one will really be able to notice the problem.

After all, what she brought back each time was only about one or two taels. Considering the daily consumption of a canteen in a steel rolling mill, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just a drop in the bucket.

If Jia Zhang had continued to take advantage of others like this, no one would have noticed.

But the problem is that this person's courage grows little by little.

Jia Zhang was no longer limited to bringing back only one or two taels of goods each time. She now brought back three or four taels, or even four or five taels. No one would notice anyway.

But as the old saying goes, if you walk by the river, you're bound to get your feet wet.
Jia Zhang cut another piece of meat that day, wrapped it in newspaper, tied it to her stomach, and prepared to take it back home when she got off work.

In order to make it convenient to carry things, Jia Zhang specially sewed a special equipment for herself, a cloth bag that can be worn next to the body, which is used to store the things she got from the canteen warehouse.

But who could have imagined that the factory security department suddenly brought in two wolfhounds for some unknown reason.

Really good guy!

When she was off work, Jia Zhang was surrounded by two wolfhounds and screamed in fear.

The abnormality of the wolfhound naturally attracted the attention of the security personnel.

Then, nearly half a pound of meat hidden on Jia Zhang's body was searched out.

Combined with the special equipment on Jia Zhang's body, the security department guessed that Jia Zhang was a repeat offender, so they locked him up and sent people to search the Jia family's courtyard.

I don’t know if I don’t search, I’m surprised when I search!
The Jia family ate steamed buns made of pure white flour, the oil can was full of lard, and the seasonings in the house were very complete and in large quantities.

During this period, the condiments in Shazhu’s cafeteria were consumed quite quickly, but no one thought much about it.

Who would have thought that the root of all this was a huge rat hiding in the cafeteria.

How to deal with Jia Zhang?
With the precedent of Sha Zhu here, there is no need to hold a meeting to discuss it.

But the difference between Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu is that Jia Zhang is not young anymore and has a ten-year-old grandson at home.

If Jia Zhang was arrested, what would happen to his little grandson?
The factory leaders held a meeting to discuss the matter, and after learning that Qin Huairu was Banggeng's biological mother and lived in the courtyard, they gave direct instructions.

Deal with it severely, strictly and quickly!

Even with the precedent of Sha Zhu, Jia Zhang still so arrogantly stole the property of the steel mill. This was simply too audacious and the circumstances were extremely bad.

So, Jia Zhang was fired from the steel rolling mill!

Their house in the courtyard originally belonged to the steel rolling mill, but now it has been directly taken back.

Jia Zhang herself was also sentenced to one year in prison.

However, compared to Sha Zhu who was sent to Xishan to mine, Jia Zhang was only sent to a labor camp.

The intensity of work in the two places is naturally very different.

But even so, it was like the sky falling for Jia Zhang.

No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape the fate of farming.

Because Jia Zhang was taken away, Banggeng could only live with Qin Huairu temporarily.

It’s a pity that Banggeng, who was once treated as a treasure by Qin Huairu, is no longer treated as well as before. He has endless work to do every day.

There is no work to be done and no food to eat.

Throwing a tantrum? Just hit him!
Now Qin Huairu is not used to sticking to jokes at all.

After knowing that her son did not take her as his biological mother seriously, Qin Huairu no longer had any expectations for Banggeng.

Xiaodang, on the other hand, had his status and treatment improved a lot under Qin Huairu.

“This is really interesting!”

Shen Zhiping found the change in Banggeng's treatment quite interesting.

When he first came to Siheyuan, Banggeng was in the Jia family. He was a super treasure, but it was still his father Jia Dongxu who would occasionally say harsh words to Banggeng.

Now, times have changed.

The stick stem is no longer a treasure, but has become a piece of grass.

However, no one sympathized with Bang Terrier.

Banggeng's reputation in Siheyuan was not very good to begin with. After Jia Zhang went to work at the steel rolling mill, he became even more arrogant and showed off what delicious food his family had eaten.

At first, because Jia Zhang brought back some leftovers from the steel mill, everyone thought that this was Jia Zhang's good luck.

Now that Jia Zhang's affair had come to light, everyone knew that Jia Zhang had actually stolen a lot of things from the steel mill, but had mixed them into the meat dishes he brought back when he was eating, thus not attracting the special attention of everyone in the courtyard.

"This Jia Zhang is really cunning!"

“It’s just not the right path!”

"There is no good person in this family!"

"When Old Jia was around, he did a lot of sneaky things. Jia Dongxu was also good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling!"

"Now that Jia Zhang is in jail, Bang Geng is following Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, and I don't know if they can get him back!"

"I'm looking at Xuan!"

"You can tell a person's future by looking at him when he's three years old. Even someone like Bang Geng isn't much better!"

The residents in the courtyard were all talking about the Jia family's affairs, from Jia Zhang to Bang Geng, and from Old Jia to Jia Dongxu, they all seemed to have eagle eyes and golden eyes!
Shen Zhiping did not join in the discussions of the people in the courtyard.

Shen Zhiping is also very busy nowadays.

Work is easy, but raising a child is really tiring.

It is so damn true that only when you have children will you understand the kindness of your parents!

Because of this drama in the Jia family, no one said anything about the Yan family's affairs. After all, the Yan family's matter was just a small family dispute, but the Jia family's matter had reached the level of national law.

Yan Bugui has been in a good mood recently.

Comrade Yan still has a lot of dignity to uphold.

Shen Zhiping washed the pants that were wet by his daughter's urine, and wondered whether he should buy more cloth, cotton, etc. Otherwise, if the pants were wet in the winter, it would not be as easy to dry as it is in the summer and autumn.

"I think it works!"

When Liu Wanqing heard what Shen Zhiping said, she just thought about it for a moment and felt that Shen Zhiping's idea made a lot of sense.

"So, I'll go buy it now?"

"go Go!"

"If the supply and marketing cooperative has more cotton, then buy more and buy all the tickets!"

"to make!"

Shen Zhiping agreed immediately.

The salaries of both of them are not low, and they have a lot of bills of various kinds. They didn't have the chance to use them before, but now they have to use them and can't keep them in their hands.

Don't wait until you need something and can't buy it.

In fact, Shen Zhiping was not worried about not being able to buy things. After all, this was the capital city, and the supply of materials was sufficient. It was just that various things were limited in quantity.

When Shen Zhiping came out of the East Courtyard, he met Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui looks pretty good today.

"Teacher Yan, didn't you go fishing today?"

Generally speaking, on his days off, Yan Bugui would go fishing. If he caught a big fish, he would sell it to pay back the money. If it was a small fish, he would bring it back to improve his life.

Ever since Yan Jiecheng made that scene, Shen Zhiping noticed that Yan Bugui went fishing less frequently.

"It's too early now, I'll go later!"

Yan Bugui replied with a smile, and then asked, "Engineer Shen, what are you doing out here?"

"Oh, didn't our little girl wet her pants again? I was thinking of buying some more cloth to make her two more pairs of pants as a backup!"

"I won't tell you anymore, I'm in a hurry!"

Shen Zhiping waved to Yan Bugui, then pushed his bicycle and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

After hearing what Shen Zhiping said, Yan Bugui wanted to say that there was no need to go through so much trouble, as they still had a lot of diapers at home, and he would go back and get them if needed.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, Shen Zhiping had already run away.

In fact, even if Yan Bugui said these words, Shen Zhiping would still go to buy cloth.

After all, diapers don’t last long. As the little girl grows bigger, she starts to crawl and learn to walk, and diapers are no longer suitable.

Yan Bugui looked in the direction of Shen Zhiping's gate and sighed. In his heart, he was still somewhat envious of Shen Zhiping.

Look, this is the difference!
Engineer Shen and his wife had a high income and a lot of bills, so they could just go and buy whatever they needed. But what about their family? They could only find ways to buy and exchange whatever they needed.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui thought of his eldest son Yan Jiecheng again.

If Yan Jiecheng could stop making trouble, the Yan family would have three workers now and they would be able to live a good life in the future.

It’s a pity that this son forgot his mother after he got married!

Yan Jiecheng and Sun Ailian rented a house separately and did not hand over a single cent of their monthly salary. They only paid for food and ate together.

I raised my son and arranged a job for him, but in the end, I got nothing from him.

If that were all, Yan Bugui wouldn't be so angry.

But Yan Jiecheng was like this to his biological parents, but he was not too nice to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he would buy them some things from time to time.

It is true that there is no harm without comparison!

Yan Bugui's good mood disappeared in an instant.

"If I knew it would be like this, I might as well get a dog!"

Yan Bugui was really angry.

"Dad, when are you going fishing?"

Yan Jiecheng popped up at this moment and said, "It's been a while since our family's life has improved!"

"With the food expenses you two pay every month, it's good enough to have a piece of steamed bread to eat. Do you want to improve your life? Sure, give me money and tickets!"

Yan Bugui spoke unhappily.

Yan Jiecheng instantly wilted. Where would he get the money and tickets?
I used the tickets I received before to buy gifts and sent them to my father-in-law’s house.

As for his wife, Sun Ailian's ticket? As a grown man, should he ask his wife for these tickets? He couldn't afford to lose face!
"Dad, you're fishing by yourself, why do you need money and tickets?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a playful smile, "If you think our food allowance is too little, I'll give you more money when I become a regular employee!"
