Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Jia Zhangshi roared."

“I believe there are other ways to resolve this matter. Tell me, what kind of compensation do you want? Yi Zhonghai and I will compensate you.”

"It is true that we were at fault first, and Banggeng's side also bears responsibility, but if we can resolve this privately and not let it get out, it will benefit everyone in our courtyard."

The deaf old lady had no other choice but to appease Jia Zhangshi for the time being.

Upon hearing about the compensation, Jia Zhangshi's expression immediately changed, transforming from a furious look to a smiling one.

A fool wouldn't make money if he could.

So what if it's your own grandson, Bang Geng?

It's just that the child is sick; what I said was just to threaten the deaf old lady.

Since they've already agreed to compensate me, they're good family.

“You know, after my son passed away, I only had this one grandson. He was the one who carried on our family line. I want a thousand yuan as compensation for this matter. Give me the money, and we'll call it even.”

Jia Zhangshi made outrageous demands, demanding 1000 yuan from the deaf old lady just for a hospital stay.

Jia Zhangshi also knew that the deaf old lady must have money.

Last time, I just wanted to keep it a secret, so I gave myself 500 yuan.

To put it bluntly, 500 yuan is more than enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.

Now that money is being delivered to our doorstep, we should naturally accept it all.

If I asked for more, the deaf old lady probably wouldn't give me any.

1000 yuan should be the deaf old lady's bottom line. Jia Zhangshi understood the deaf old lady very well.

“This 1000 yuan is not a small amount, but since I said it, I will do it. I can give you the 1000 yuan, but you need to understand that this matter is over and done with, and you are not allowed to bring it up again.”

“If anyone asks, just say that the piglet was poisoned by food. Otherwise, I can report you to the authorities for extortion over this 1000 yuan. In that case, neither of us will benefit. I believe you are a smart person and understand this.”

In the deaf old lady's view, being able to spend money to avoid disaster was the best outcome.

Chapter 110 Bang Geng Became Dumb

"Of course, give me the money now. This has nothing to do with you."

Upon hearing that the deaf old lady had agreed so readily, Jia Zhangshi did not pursue the matter further.

1000 yuan, that's more money than you can earn in a lifetime.

Without saying a word, the deaf old lady took out a roll of money from the inner pocket of her clothes and handed it to Jia Zhangshi.

Then he left Jia Zhangshi's house.

Meanwhile, at the hospital...

Yi Zhonghai managed to get Bang Geng to drink the antidote after much effort.

More than an hour later, Banggeng slowly opened his eyes.

Yi Zhonghai can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as the pheasant can wake up, that's fine.

"Bang Geng, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you? If it is, tell Grandpa right away."

Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously.

"Ah, ah, ahhhhhh!"

The only word that Banggeng could utter was this.

Yi Zhonghai's heart, which had just been at ease, was suddenly in his throat again.

What's wrong with the pheasant? Why did it suddenly stop talking?

This is a huge problem!

"Bang Geng, what's wrong? Can't you speak? Say something, don't scare your grandpa."

Yi Zhonghai urged anxiously, but Bang Geng didn't respond at all, tears streaming down his face.

He only uttered the single word "ah".

He was as if he were a mute.

Oh no, this is really bad, we've accidentally ingested poison.

Unexpectedly, Bang Geng became mute and couldn't even speak.

How am I supposed to explain this when I get back?

I wonder if the deaf old lady has taken good care of Jia Zhangshi.

If a perfectly healthy child suddenly becomes mute, anyone would be suspicious.

Today, Bang Geng only ate the candy that the deaf old lady gave him.

If an investigation were to begin, and it turns out the candy was purchased by the person in question, then they would certainly be implicated.

Meanwhile, the deaf old lady returned to the hospital.

After taking care of Jia Zhangshi, I still need to go back to the hospital to check on Banggeng.

Now, as long as there's nothing seriously wrong, this matter can be put on hold smoothly.

The deaf old woman prayed silently that nothing else would happen.

The task assigned by the organization is one I have not yet completed.

We can't really use that gun!

This is truly a miserable task!

"Grandma, this is bad! Banggeng can't talk anymore. What are we going to do? You have to think of something right away. If he goes back to the courtyard like this, how can the neighbors not be suspicious of us? Then neither of us will be able to get away with it."

Upon seeing the deaf old lady enter, Yi Zhonghai quickly pulled her aside and whispered something to her.

"What? Could it be that he's been poisoned and lost his voice? It's alright, don't panic. He just can't speak, he's not in any serious condition for now. I've already inquired with Madam Jia, and she's no longer pursuing this matter."

The deaf old lady said with a hint of helplessness.

"Can the situation be the same? If it were just simple food poisoning, it would be fine, but the problem is that Bang Geng can't talk anymore, what are we going to do?"

Yi Zhonghai said anxiously.

I prayed all the way, but things still went wrong when I got to the hospital.

The inability to speak properly means this issue can't be resolved in the short term; it's a real problem!

"Bang Geng, listen to me. You just had a bit of a sore throat from food poisoning. But don't worry, you'll get better in a while. In the meantime, just tell me what you want to eat or drink, and I'll go buy it for you."

The deaf old lady comforted her.

Banggeng was still a child, and when he heard what the deaf old lady said, he stopped crying.

As long as they can get food, they won't talk for a while.

Anyway, the deaf old lady said that she would get better after a while.

"Ah, ah!"

The stick drew a shape to indicate that it wanted to eat fruit.

Without saying a word, the deaf old lady took out a bill and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

He gestured for Yi Zhonghai to go out and buy some food and drinks, hoping to shut Bang Geng up with food and drinks.

Once this period passes, the mission will be completed.

What happens after that is none of my business; spending a little money now won't matter.

There's no other way now, so we'll just have to do it this way for now.

Yi Zhonghai could only place his hopes on the deaf old lady, as long as she finished her own business.

With the antidote in hand, Yi Zhonghai believed that Bang Geng would definitely recover.

After receiving the money, Yi Zhonghai went out and bought some food and drinks that the children liked before returning to the hospital.

Upon seeing this, Bang Geng's eyes lit up, and he began to eat and drink heartily without a care in the world.

Some of these delicious foods were ones I had never tried before.

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai were relieved to see Bang Geng's performance.

"Hey, I'll buy you whatever you want to eat and drink from now on. But you have to promise me that when we get home, you'll just nod at whatever I say and don't say anything else."

"If you do this, I will buy you lots and lots of food and drinks so you can eat them for a very long time."

The deaf old lady spoke gently to the stick.

Banggeng nodded happily as he looked at all the delicious food in front of him.

After Banggeng had eaten and drunk its fill, the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai took Banggeng back to the courtyard house.
