Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

After Lou Xiao'e came out, she stared at the stick.

"Auntie, are you telling the truth or not? My chickens have been missing for days and I still haven't found them."

"Was it also stolen by the Korean actor?"

Banggeng has always been dishonest in the yard, and once one person said that, everyone else began to suspect that he was the one who did it.

The happiest person when Bang Geng was released was Jia Zhangshi. As for the others, because they suspected Bang Geng of stealing, they wished he could stay inside longer.

Listening to the gossip, Jia Zhangshi snorted.

"You people can't stand to see others do well, humph, anyway, my Bang Geng is going to make it."

"And don't try to pin your dirty laundry on my dog, Banggeng. If you didn't catch him, this is a false accusation."

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she grabbed the stick and went straight home.

Qin Huairu also took Huaihua and Xiaodang back home.

"Mom, I have to go to work. You take care of the three of them."

Jia Zhangshi's mind was solely focused on Banggeng.

"go Go."

Qin Huairu left reluctantly.

Madam Jia rubbed her beloved grandson Banggeng's face, asking him all sorts of questions, but didn't ask her two granddaughters a single question.

"Hey, Li Jianjun, that kid, how badly did he beat you up inside?"

"Tell Grandma quickly, where did he hit her?"

Banggeng rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scars on his arms.

"Grandma, these were all done by Ma Sijiu and Li Weiguo."

When Jia Zhangshi saw this, she was heartbroken and immediately cursed the two of them as worthless people.

“That Li Jianjun is no good either. He’s probably the one who ordered Ma Sijiu and Li Weiguo to beat you up.”

"That little brat Li Jianjun, how could he be so cruel? How could he bear to hurt my precious grandson so badly?"

Jia Zhangshi gave Li Jianjun a vicious scolding before asking about the stick.

"My dear grandson, are you hungry?"

Banggeng kept complaining that he was starving, and Huaihua and Xiaodang cried even harder.

"Waaaah, Grandma, we're hungry too."

Jia Zhangshi slapped Huaihua and Xiaodang across the face twice.

"You two little brats, what are you hungry for? Don't you know we have no food at home?"

“Even if we have food at home, we have to let your brother eat first. You two can go hungry for a while longer, and eat lunch when your mother brings it over.”

Huaihua and Xiaodang were, after all, children, and they burst into tears, which only made Jia Zhangshi feel irritable and agitated.

"Cry, cry, cry! You're all grown up, and all you know how to do is cry."

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she pushed Huaihua and Xiaodang directly into a small side room that they had expanded.

It was very cramped inside, and after Huaihua and Xiaodang were pushed in, they almost filled the entire space.

Jia Zhangshi locked the small door behind her.

Go ahead and cry.

Jia Zhangshi was such a person; the old generation's ideas were at play, and she had always favored sons over daughters.

She treasured Banggeng, while considering Huaihua and Xiaodang, those two girls, to be worthless.

Then, Jia Zhangshi opened the lunchbox that Qin Huairu had brought back. Inside were two green vegetables and two steamed buns.

Even within the Jia family, this was already considered a very high level of treatment.

Jia Zhangshi gave it to Banggeng, who finished it in no time.

"Grandma, I'm still hungry."

Jia Zhangshi couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay, my dear grandson, Grandma will make you another one right away."

...

Meanwhile, people in the compound started talking about it.

Lou Xiao'e was the leader among them.

“The chicken in my house is a big hen that weighs more than five pounds. It was given to us by the villagers when Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies.”

"They've been kept in a chicken coop all this time. I saw them when I left home the day before yesterday. But when I got home from get off work, they were gone."

"No one else has been in our yard, so it must have been someone from our yard who stole it."

This is considered a major event that has recently occurred in the courtyard house.

Back then, an old hen could sell for three or four yuan, which was equivalent to a month's food expenses for an adult.

If converted to 21st-century purchasing power, this large hen would cost almost two thousand yuan.

No wonder Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were in such a hurry.

"Xiao'e, think about it again. Did you forget to close the chicken coop when you left?"

Lou Xiao'e remembers it clearly.

"I remember it very clearly, the chicken coop was indeed closed."

At this moment, a family member of a staff member of the courtyard house stood up and spoke.

“Xiao’e, I don’t know if I should say this or not? A few days ago, when my husband came home from get off work, he said he saw Banggeng leading two younger sisters outside the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. They had set up a pot and were cooking a plucked hen.”

Lou Xiao'e immediately became alert. She noticed that the other person was Zhang Shengli's wife, whom everyone called Sister Zhang.

The couple were very honest and never lied.

"Sister Zhang, are you talking about the day three days ago, the day Banggeng was caught by the security guards at the steel mill?"

Sister Zhang nodded, and Lou Xiao'e seemed to remember something.

"My chickens were lost that day."

Sister Zhang slapped her thigh, as if she had made a definitive statement.

"That makes sense. Where would Banggeng's family get the spare money to buy chickens? Banggeng must have stolen and eaten your chickens!"

Another person also remembered something.

"Three days ago, when I was taking out the trash, I saw Banggeng holding a bag. The contents of the bag were still thrashing around, and I thought I heard a rooster crow."

All the evidence pointed to Banggeng being the chicken thief. Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e understood.

"No wonder when I saw Bang Geng earlier, this guy kept his head down and wouldn't look me in the eye."

"You're right, this was probably stolen by Bang Geng."

Lou Xiao'e seemed to have suddenly identified her target, and led her people directly to the Jia family to question them.

Chapter 20 The "Neighborhood Whistle" Plot

“Jia Zhangshi, come out here and hand over the stick. I have something to ask you.”

Banggeng had just eaten another egg in the house and was burping when he heard Lou Xiao'e's voice, which made him tremble with fear.

"Grandma, go out and deal with this."

Bang Geng then looked for a suitable opportunity to escape.

That's right, he ate the chickens from Lou Xiao'e's house. Since he'd already eaten them, he certainly couldn't compensate her.

Jia Zhangshi walked out the door, hands on her hips, and started arguing with Lou Xiao'e.

"What's wrong? What do you want with my dear grandson?"

Lou Xiao'e spoke with righteous indignation.

"Someone said your son, Banggeng, played PUBG with his two younger sisters a few days ago. I'm just asking, who gave him the money to buy it? Does your family have that kind of spare cash?"

Jia Zhang's words are strong and reasonable.

"When did my dog ​​get a chicken dinner? Don't talk nonsense if you haven't seen it."

Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi was secretly blaming Bang Geng in her heart.

This kid is spoiled for nothing; he doesn't even share a piece of chicken with his grandma.

Jia Zhangshi is a dead pig, unafraid of boiling water.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you have to catch him red-handed. Since she didn't see Banggeng stealing the chicken, she stubbornly refused to admit it.

Moreover, sometimes, it was his wife who instigated Banggeng to steal things from other people's homes.

If anyone comes knocking, the old woman will grit her teeth and deny everything.

Anyway, you didn't catch them in the act.

Lou Xiao'e stomped her feet in anger.

"You old hag. Is this how you protect your thief grandson?"

"Fine, since you won't admit it, I'll go to the factory and file a complaint."

"Bang Geng also stole other people's things, I don't believe they don't hate your Bang Geng."

Lou Xiao'e's words resonated with everyone.

"Xiao'e is right. If you don't admit it, we'll report your family's Banggeng."

That old hag Jia Zhangshi is still very stubborn.

"There's no evidence. Then feel free to report it."

After saying that, Jia Zhangshi turned around and went into the house, slamming the door shut and ignoring the people outside.
