The beginning of Siheyuan starts with refusing to bring lunch boxes

The money is lost!

Money was only slightly less important to Jia Zhang than her life. Now that the money was lost, Jia Zhang immediately lost her composure and began to howl loudly, "Someone come! Catch the thief!" Then she ran to the yard and howled, "Someone come! Catch the thief!"

When the women who stayed at home heard Jia Zhang's howling, they all came out to see what was going on. Even the aunties who were chatting at the gate of the courtyard came to the middle courtyard. In those days, everyone was poor. If they were robbed, it would be very painful.

After arriving at the middle courtyard, they saw Jia Zhang holding a handkerchief, sitting on the ground and crying, "Someone, catch the thief! My money was stolen! I don't know which thief actually stole my money! I can't live anymore!"

Now, there are only two uncles in charge of the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and Tian Dakui are not at home, so the first and second aunts must step forward.

An old lady asked, "Sister-in-law, was your house robbed?"

When Jia Zhang saw the old lady, she immediately hugged her legs and said, "Auntie, help me! I can't live! My money has been stolen!"

Then she opened the handkerchief in her hand and showed it to everyone, "Look, there were more than 80 yuan in it, and now there are only more than 20 yuan left! But a full 60 yuan is missing!"

The second aunt heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She said to Jia Zhang in a bad mood, "Jia Zhang, this must not have been stolen by an outside thief. If it was a thief from outside, would he have left you more than 20 yuan? It must have been taken by your family members." She deliberately emphasized the word "took".

Everyone agreed that it was indeed as Second Aunt said.

Jia Zhang also reacted at this time and thought, could it be Qin Huairu?

She ignored them, got up and went back to Jia's house. She checked other places where she hid the money and found that the money was there. She was relieved.

"Qin Huairu, you are so good. No matter how much defense you have, you can never prevent a thief from roaming your own home!" Jia Zhang said with gritted teeth.

The women in the courtyard saw that Jia Zhang had gone home and there was no sound. One of the women said, "Let's all go home. It's probably someone from their family who took it." The women discussed and went back to their own homes.

Jia Zhang was very angry now. She didn't go out to satisfy her craving. She sat on the kang angrily waiting for Qin Huairu to come home. She thought to herself, she must make Qin Huairu spit out the money!

However, Jia Zhang never doubted that her good grandson was a good person. In her heart, her good grandson would never steal her money.

Two hours later, the workers from the steel mill returned to the courtyard one after another. He Yuzhu also returned with the large group because there was a reception today.

He Yuzhu had just arrived home pushing his bicycle when he heard a sarcastic roar from the Jia family next door: "Qin Huairu, you slut! Give me back my money!"

Chapter 98: Jia Zhang's Beating Stick

He Yuzhu went out and looked at the Jia family. Like He Yuzhu, there were other neighbors in the yard.

As soon as Qin Huairu entered the house, she saw Jia Zhang rushing over and grabbing Qin Huairu's hair, "Qin Huairu, you slut! Give me back my money!"

Qin Huai was confused at this time, but he still shouted, "Mom! Mom! What are you doing? Let go first! Let's talk it over!"

Jia Zhangshi didn't listen to her. She still grabbed her hair and asked, "Qin Huairu, tell me, where did you hide my money?"

Qin Huairu guessed what was going on. "Mom! I didn't take your money! I go to work every day, how could I have the chance to take your money!" Jia Zhang still didn't believe it.

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, you've been home since I got home, and I don't know where you keep your money."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned to the courtyard, also saw the farce of the Jia family. Although he didn't want to intervene, he was the uncle in charge after all. At this time, the second uncle Tian Dagui also came to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, do you want to intervene?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, then sighed and said, "Just take care of it. After all, you are the one in charge~"

Tian Dakui also nodded

The two of them separated from the crowd and went in. "Sister-in-law, please let go first. If you have anything to say, we can talk it out."

Tian Da Kui also said, "Yes, sister-in-law, Huai Ru can't say anything if you do this."

Jia Zhang glared at him with her triangular eyes and cursed, "You two are bad-intentioned people. My money is missing, and it must have been stolen by this slut! You two bastards, don't even think about protecting her! Are you having an affair with her!?"

Yi Zhonghai and Tian Dagui's faces immediately turned ugly. They didn't expect that they would be slandered like this even though they were in charge!

Tian Dagui was disgusted by Jia Zhangshi to begin with. If he was not the manager, he would not have taken the lead. Now that Jia Zhangshi was spewing filth, he retreated back into the crowd without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai wanted to call him, but when he turned around and saw Auntie holding Cheng'en, with Xiaoying and Nian'en beside her, he said, "Since we don't need to take care of it, you can handle it yourself!" Then he walked to Auntie and continued to watch the show.

Jia Zhang was numb, thinking, the script shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, no matter how I scold, shouldn't Yi Juehu continue to persuade me? In this way, I can force Qin Huairu to take out the money.

Now, the two managers don't care anymore, and the neighbors won't care either. Jia Zhang is in a dilemma. Qin Huairu is also very angry, thinking that this old man has a child and he really doesn't care about his family at all.

While Jia Zhang was distracted, Qin Huairu took the opportunity to escape from her hand. However, the pain on his head and the hair in Jia Zhang's hand made Qin Huairu on the verge of rage.

She works so hard in the factory every day, and this old hag just eats and waits for death every day. Now she treats herself like this, she really can't stand it anymore

"Mom! What are you crazy about!" Qin Huairu yelled with tears in her eyes!

"Humph! Why am I crazy!? If you didn't steal my money, how could I be crazy!? Hurry up and give me back the money you stole from me!?!" Jia Zhang, who was still in a daze, only reacted after hearing Qin Huairu's words, but Qin Huairu had already escaped from her control.

"Could it be that a thief came in and stole it?!"

"Huh! If he was a thief, would he only steal 60 yuan and leave more than yuan?!"

"Mom! I didn't take it! I didn't have time to take it! You're at home every day, and I'm either at work or busy every day. How can I take it right under your nose?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang thought about it and realized that it was true.

The neighbors in the courtyard also said, "Yes, this Jia Zhang must have wronged Qin Huairu. How could Qin Huairu have the chance? This Jia Zhang is at home every day. She used to sleep every day, but now she is at home making matchboxes every day. Qin Huairu came home to eat and also made matchboxes with her. How could she have the time?"

"Do you think it's a stick?" a neighbor said

At this time, Yan Jiekuang said, "I often see Banggeng buying snacks recently. Today I saw him treating several classmates to snacks."

Yan Bugui covered his mouth with his hand, "Stop talking so much! Just watch your show!"

At this time, Bang Geng, who had just finished eating meat outside, saw so many people gathered around his house and shouted, "What are you doing around my house?"

Of course, Jia Zhang heard what Yan Jiekuang said. She didn't believe it at first, but when she thought about how Banggeng hadn't been eating much recently, she began to believe it. Now that Banggeng had come back, she grabbed Banggeng who had squeezed in and asked loudly, "Banggeng! Did you take my money?!"

Bang Geng was panicked when Jia Zhang yelled at him, "No, no, I didn't take it!"

Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng's evasive eyes. When he opened his mouth, a smell of braised meat came out. Jia Zhang was sure that it was Bang Geng! Her good grandson stole her money.

At this time, Qin Huairu also guessed that it must be Banggeng who didn't take it. Jia Zhangshi couldn't steal it herself, so it must be Banggeng. Xiaodang is not even four years old.

Now seeing Jia Zhang staring at Bang Geng viciously, she was a little afraid of what the furious Jia Zhang would do to Bang Geng, so she hurried over to pull Bang Geng back to her side, "Bang Geng! Tell me, did you take your grandma's money?!"

Bang Geng calmed down a little now, "Mom! I really didn't take it!"

Qin Huairu knew her son very well. Every time he lied, he would look to the lower right corner. When she asked him just now, he always looked to the lower right corner subconsciously. So, Qin Huairu didn't listen to what Bang Geng said and started to search Bang Geng. As a result, she found more than two yuan on his body.

"Bang Geng! Tell me, where did all this money come from?!" Qin Huairu stared at Bang Geng and said

When Jia Zhang saw that she had only this little money left, she immediately grabbed Bang Geng's arm, "Bang Geng! Where's the money? Is this all you have left?!"

Seeing that he had been exposed, Bang Geng admitted it, "Grandma! I'm sorry, I took it."

Jia Zhang was almost going crazy at this moment, "Where's the remaining money?!"

"I used them all~"

"Used it?!" Jia Zhang screamed, frightening Bang Geng so much that his face turned pale, and then he nodded.

"What did you do? That's sixty dollars!"

"I just buy snacks and eat braised meat"

Jia Zhang felt a little dizzy, and then stared at Bang Geng fiercely. Bang Geng was a little scared when he saw Jia Zhang's eyes, and wanted to hide behind Qin Huairu, but his arm was held by Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, since the money has been spent, this is the only way, you see..."

Before Qin Huairu could finish her words, Jia Zhang slapped Bang Geng in the face, "Pah!"

Then there were the sounds of slapping.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

After slapping her five or six times in a row, Qin Huairu finally realized that it was mainly because Jia Zhang had never hit her with a stick before and had always regarded her stick as her lifeblood.

Now seeing the Jia Zhangshi stick-beating joke, Qin Huairu couldn't believe it for a moment.

Bang Geng was a little bit unbelievable when he was beaten by Jia Zhang. This grandmother who had always regarded him as her lifeblood actually beat him for a mere 60 yuan.

"Grandma! Please forgive me, I won't dare to do it again."

Jia Zhang didn't care about that. She was so distressed. That was 60 yuan! She only took a few yuan each time, and it had to be divided into several times to use up the 60 yuan. She could use it for two years! Moreover, she had saved this money with great effort. Now, it was spent by her grandson in just one or two weeks.

So, regardless of Banggeng's pleas for mercy and Qin Huairu's dissuasion, she just kept beating him, first on the mouth, then on the buttocks and back. She then took out a feather duster and beat Banggeng again and again, which amazed the neighbors.

A neighbor said, "Wow! It's been a while since I've seen Jia Zhang beat a child like this. The last time was when Jia Dongxu was a teenager and stole money."

"Ah? It seems that this is just a natural thing."

……

Bang Geng had never been beaten like this before. He tried to run away, covering his head with one hand and begging for mercy, "Grandma, please spare me! Mom, help me, mom, help me!"

Bang Geng's arm was grabbed by Jia Zhang, so he couldn't run away. Jia Zhang was almost fifty years old, but her plump body was very strong. It was impossible for Bang Geng, who was only eight years old, to break free.

Qin Huairu felt very distressed and kept pulling Jia Zhangshi, "Mom! Please stop hitting him! He is still young! If you hit him again, he will get hurt."

"Mom! Mom! Please stop hitting me," Qin Huairu cried out of heartache.

But Jia Zhang refused to listen and continued to smoke. It was only September, and the neighbors could clearly see the bloodstains on the back of the neck.

Qin Huairu saw that he couldn't persuade them, nor could he stop them, so he could only look at the crowd for help, "Everyone, please, persuade him, uncle, uncle, please stop watching, and help me, otherwise Bang Geng will be beaten to death by my mother."

If it was in the past, Yi Zhonghai would have stepped forward to dissuade him, but now that he has a child and he was scolded just now, he pretended not to hear.

Second uncle Tian Da Kui didn't want to care about it in the first place. He was scolded just now, so he didn't want to care about it even more. Now, haha, just watch the show. Other neighbors don't want to cause trouble. Is Jia Zhang easy to mess with? Just watch the show.

Qin Huairu saw that none of her neighbors moved, and she was furious and could only continue to try her best to stop Jia Zhangshi, pulling her and persuading her.

"Mom, stop hitting me. Look how badly Banggeng has been injured. If Dongxu knew about this, he would blame you in the underworld."

Maybe Jia Zhang was tired, or maybe Qin Huairu mentioned Jia Dongxu, so she stopped.

Let go of the stick, which lay weakly on the ground, whimpering softly.

Qin Huairu immediately stepped forward and hugged Banggeng, "My son, Banggeng, how are you?"

"Mom, it hurts~"

Jia Zhang said viciously, "Qin Huairu, from now on, you have to give me five dollars a month! Otherwise, you and your mother will get out of the Jia family!"

Qin Huairu wanted to resist, but looking at Jia Zhang's murderous eyes, she shuddered unconsciously, then nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, I will give you five dollars a month from now on."

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang threw down the feather duster, wiped the sweat off her forehead, picked up the enamel pot, drank the water in one gulp, and returned to the kang.
