Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Page 221

Liu Aiguo's face darkened: "Something's happened... What happened? What's wrong?"

"Come inside and talk!" Aunt Er reached in and handed a key to Liu Aiguo: "Aiguo, this is your house key. I'll keep an eye on it for you..."

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

Liu Aiguo frowned: How come you have our house key?

He strode forward and opened the door.

At first glance...

Good guy!

A strong, fishy stench.

There were bloodstains on the ground.

The room was a complete mess.

"My box..." Xiao Long saw his plastic box and exclaimed, "Where's my general...where's my general..."

"What's going on?" Liu Aiguo turned to Aunt Er and asked, "Aunt Er, what happened?"

"What else could it be!" Aunt Er said, "Someone broke into your house to steal things, and accidentally got bitten by a scorpion. They're still in the hospital now!"

The "Stealing Saint's Stick" reference?

The first person Liu Aiguo could think of was him.

"Liu Aiguo...you damned, heartless bastard...get out here right now!"

"Look what you've done to my precious grandson!"

Just then, a sound that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart came.

Then, Jia Zhangshi collapsed at Liu Aiguo's door and began to throw a tantrum in the snow: "You killed my precious grandson... Waaah... Why don't you just die!"

"Old Jia... Dongxu... come out here and take this whole heartless family away with you!"

Qin Huairu, He Yuzhu, and Uncle Yi also came over.

"Mom, Mom... get up, stop crying... let's talk about what's going on!"

Madam Jia stopped crying, stood up, pointed at Liu Aiguo, and said, "You deliberately released scorpions to bite my precious grandson, you owe us money... If you don't pay us ten thousand yuan today, this isn't over!"

Chapter 174 [Burning Down] and [Theft] are two different crimes

"Do you know that my grandson is still lying in the hospital?"

"Do you know that giving him an injection costs three thousand five hundred yuan per shot..."

"Liu Aiguo... what are you up to? Why are you treating our Banggeng like this? He's still a child... sob sob sob... he's still a child!"

puff……

Hearing Jia Zhangshi say this, many people in the courtyard laughed.

In the past, whenever Banggeng stole something, she would always use the excuse that "Banggeng is still a child" to cover it up.

but……

"Bang Geng is twenty-five... We've never seen a child this big before!" Aunt Er laughed heartily.

Immediately, everyone in the compound burst into laughter.

Only then did Madam Jia realize that her grandson was no longer a child.

She was stunned!

"Hoo..." Qin Huairu took a deep breath, but she didn't know what to say.

After all, she was in the wrong from any perspective.

She stared at Liu Aiguo with resentment in her eyes, tears streaming down her face like beads.

The sight of it made Uncle Yi and He Yuzhu, who were standing nearby, feel a pang of sympathy.

“Liu Aiguo…” He Yuzhu finally couldn’t help but speak up: “No matter how wrong Bang Geng is, you shouldn’t have used a scorpion against him… You’re being too vicious!”

Liu Aiguo's mouth twitched: "You're overthinking it... I never intended to target anyone!"

"If the scorpion I released bit the stick stem, I take full responsibility!"

"But... as you all saw, this scorpion was in our box, it's my son's toy... you came here to steal things and reached in, so you can't blame me for that!"

"Qin Huairu!" Liu Aiguo said calmly, "Stop crying all the time, thinking you've suffered such a great injustice. Do you know how much this scorpion of mine is worth?"

He Yuzhu said, "It's just a scorpion."

Xiao Long sneered from the side: "Even scorpions hibernate. This kind of scorpion is a species classification and ranking conducted by the Hong Kong Life Science Research and Development Center to study the diversity of biological genetic variation and randomized selective experiments. This scorpion not only has a stronger venom, producing venom comparable to gold, but it can also be active all year round without hibernation!"

"It has extremely high research value!"

"To put it simply, it's worthless in your eyes, but countless scientists from Japan and the United States are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy one!"

"Now that you've killed my scorpion, you'd better think about how you're going to compensate me!"

Xiao Long's tone didn't sound like he was joking to anyone.

The key point is that what Xiaolong said is also true.

This thing really is something the Life Science Center came up with, but its value... well, it's probably not as outrageous as he said. He's just trying to scare the Jia family.

"We're all neighbors!" Thirteen-year-old Xiaolong said confidently to everyone, "For the sake of this, firstly, we won't pursue your responsibility for theft; secondly, we won't ask you to compensate us for the scorpion's death. Isn't that more than enough?"

"Go back to where you belong, go back and properly educate your own children... so you don't embarrass yourselves in public!"

Being spoken to like that by a child was embarrassing for both Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu.

The key is that you can't refute it.

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu were so angry they felt like their lungs were about to explode.

Qin Huairu finally spoke up: "Liu Aiguo... Putting everything else aside, this child was bitten by your scorpion, so you should pay for the child's medical expenses, right?"

Liu Aiguo shook his head and said only one word: "Get lost..."

Then he took his family back inside.

He has already given the Jia family enough face.

If the Jia family knows what's good for them, they can leave now and pretend nothing happened.

But if they keep nagging, then don't blame me.

"go!"

boom!

Liu Aiguo led his family back into the house and then slammed the door shut!

The Jia family was dumbfounded.

They simply ignored it.

"This..." He Yuzhu's face turned ashen with anger: "Liu Aiguo... how could you do this? Do you dare say you bear no responsibility at all?"

"This is the person bitten by your family's scorpion!"
