Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

The deaf old lady and the old woman were both frightened when they saw the red armband that suddenly appeared.

The money the deaf old lady hadn't even had a chance to put in her pocket was scattered all over the ground, and the old woman next to her collapsed to the ground.

The deaf old lady is the seller's worst punishment; she'll just be locked up for ten or twenty years.

However, she plays the dual role of buyer and seller, making her a target of severe crackdowns on speculation and profiteering; she might even face severe consequences.

"Come on, take them away!"

As several people with red armbands rushed forward, the deaf old lady and the old woman were both arrested.

Outside the alley, Cao Xu and his two companions had already left by the time Hong Xiugu rushed in.

"Dad, aren't you going too far? Won't the deaf old lady be arrested and put in jail?"

Apart from Cao Xu, who had exceptional hearing and eyesight, He Daqing and his daughter were unaware that the deaf old lady had been trading gold ingots with that man.

"Don't worry, it's okay. I'm just teaching her a lesson."

“I don’t believe that the deaf old lady was completely unaware of what Yi Zhonghai did.”

"Besides, even if she is unaware, we must isolate her, otherwise she will take advantage of her seniority to cause chaos."

"As for his petty business of reselling grain coupons, it's nothing to her."

“She’s almost eighty years old. At most, the people in the neighborhood will just give her a lecture and fine her a sum of money.”

"Who would actually send her to jail for a few dollars? What if something happens to her there? Who would be responsible then?"

"They want to arrest people like old women. To them, those are the real scourges and the targets of their crackdown."

Listening to He Daqing's words, Cao Xu thought to himself that this man was much smarter than Sha Zhu. He analyzed the problem logically and knew exactly where the key points were.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Who would have thought that the deaf old woman who ran away to resell grain coupons in the original drama would actually produce a gold ingot?

You should know that this gold ingot is worth the same as ten small yellow croakers.

But where did this deaf old woman get the gold ingots?

Judging from the tone of her voice just now, it doesn't seem like there's only one of them.

..........................................................................................

In the central courtyard of the Jia family's courtyard house, Qin Huairu was chopping cabbage while Sha Zhu was drinking water nearby.

"Sister Qin, you can't just let these pheasants roam freely at home all day."

"See if we can find a school for him to attend?"

Qin Huairu shook her head.

"It's no use. I've asked many schools, but they won't accept me."

He Yuzhu said.

"That's true. Schools in the city won't accept you if you have a record of detention and correctional service."

"It's all that bastard Xu Damao's fault. I'll have to teach him a lesson another day."

Qin Huairu whispered.

"You don't need to deal with him, someone else has taken care of him."

“I just went to the vegetable cellar in the backyard to get some cabbage. I heard him tell Uncle Er that his bicycle was stolen and he asked Uncle Er to help him find it.”

He Yuzhu said.

"Serves him right. Let him show off for no reason. Now that his bicycle is gone, let's see how he can still be so cocky."

Qin Huairu said.

"Fortunately, the factory dismissed him from his projectionist position, otherwise he would have had to walk to the countryside."

He Yuzhu put down his teacup.

"That's not right. Since he told Second Uncle, who is known for his ambition for officialdom, why didn't he call for a meeting of the entire hospital?"

Qin Huairu snorted.

"It's all because Xu Damao thought he was being clever and ran off to the police station to report the case without even saying a word."

“It’s not easy to find a car once it’s stolen, and now that he’s reported it to the police, Uncle Er won’t pay any attention to him. He’ll be avoiding him as much as possible.”

He Yuzhu echoed.

“That’s right. Second Uncle is a bit slow, but he’s not stupid. Xu Damao clearly ran back to the courtyard for help because the police station ignored him.”

"By the way, this wasn't done by that kid Banggeng, was it?"

Qin Huairu was displeased upon hearing this. Wasn't Sha Zhu blatantly stealing her son's Party School affiliation?

When Sha Zhu saw that Qin Huairu had stopped chopping the filling, he could tell that she was unhappy.

"Sister Qin, don't stop. Keep chopping the vegetables, but don't chop me."

"Don't blame me for overthinking, I'm just giving you a heads-up. In these kinds of situations, it's better to be safe than sorry."

"You know Banggeng's temper. This kid has suffered for a month, how could he not hate him?"

Qin Huairu continued chopping the cabbage.

"Don't worry, I've asked about it."

"Bang Geng said that he didn't steal the car."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"That's good. A bicycle costs 150 or 160 yuan. If you get caught doing that, you'll be locked up for life."

Just then, the Jia family's door was pushed open, and Banggeng returned carrying meat.

"Mom, I'm back."

After Banggeng entered the house, he put the meat on the cabinet behind the door and said to He Yuzhu, who was standing to the side.

"Shazhu, an old man is looking for you. He wants you to go out for a bit."

He Yuzhu stood up.

"Well, I guess I'm just destined to be busy. I just sat down and haven't even finished my water yet."

· ·······Requesting flowers···· ······

At this point, He Yuzhu grabbed Banggeng's ear.

"Bang Geng, tell Sha Zhu the truth, did you steal Xu Damao's bicycle?"

Banggeng felt a pain in his ear and immediately reached out to save it.

"It hurts..."

"Shazhu, I really didn't steal it. I've already told my mom."

"I wanted to dismantle it, but before I could, the car was pushed away. How was I supposed to know who stole it?"

He Yuzhu let go of Bang Geng's ear after hearing that Bang Geng's words didn't seem fake, but he still patted him on the back of the head.

"You little rascal, you actually had some crooked ideas."

"Let me tell you, Xu Damao's matter is a matter for adults."

“If anyone wants to deal with him, it’s your silly uncle here. It’s not your turn, a little brat, to rush forward.”

"You're not allowed to steal from other people's houses anymore, especially Xu Damao's, do you hear me?"

Bang Geng thought to himself, "What I do is none of your business! Who do you think you are!"

Although he thought that way, he only responded with perfunctory "yes, yes, yes," without taking He Yuzhu's words to heart at all.

As soon as He Yuzhu left, Banggeng hurriedly picked up the five cents on the ground.

The money had fallen out of his pocket during the struggle; although Bang Geng moved quickly, Qin Huairu still saw it.

"Hey, where did you get your money?"

Banggeng quickly stuffed the money into his pocket.

"This money is what I had left over from buying meat earlier."

........ ....... 0

Qin Huairu said angrily.

"Today is Lunar New Year's Eve. Is it okay if we don't buy enough meat?"

Banggeng smiled and took the meat off the plate, handing it to Qin Huairu.

"I bought the discounted meat for 50 cents a pound, which is 20 cents cheaper per pound. Each household is limited to one pound."

"I begged the butcher to sell me more meat; three pounds of meat only cost me one yuan and fifty cents."

Qin Huairu was somewhat skeptical.

"Meat that costs 70 cents a pound is being sold for 50 cents? Is that even possible?"

"You'd better not buy spoiled meat, or you'll lose a lot of money."

Still worried, Qin Huairu picked up the meat on the table and brought it to her nose to smell it.
