Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

If this were a few years ago, Director Yang himself would still be sweeping the streets at the steel rolling mill, so how could Yang Weimin possibly arrange any work for Banggeng!

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Banggeng immediately said impatiently, "Mom, you know perfectly well that I only have that little salary a month, what can I do with it!"

"Let me tell you, I've met a lot of capable people lately! I want to learn from them, so I'll have to pay some tuition. I'll pay you back double when I earn money."

Unable to persuade her son, Qin Huairu could only take out twenty yuan from her room and hand it over.

Although Jia Zhangshi has now handed over all her savings to Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu does not dare to spend them lavishly.

Banggeng looked at the twenty yuan and was clearly a little disgusted.

But there's nothing they can do; that's just their family's situation.

Bang Geng could only take the money and leave.

"It's almost dinner time, what are you doing going out at this hour?" Qin Huairu called out as she watched Bang Geng leave.

Banggeng said without turning his head, "Mom, you guys eat first, just leave me a bite!"

After leaving home, Banggeng went straight to Pigeon City and found Zheng Aiguo, who had gone to the countryside with him.

After returning from the countryside, Zheng Aiguo couldn't find a job, so he started working as a reseller in the pigeon market.

Believe it or not, he actually made money from this back and forth!

Bang Geng met Zheng Aiguo by chance while sweeping the streets.

After learning that Zheng Aiguo had made a lot of money in Pigeon City, he had been trying to get Zheng Aiguo to take him under his wing.

However, Zheng Aiguo kept making excuses, saying that this line of work was risky and he didn't want to drag Banggeng into it.

Today, Banggeng found Zheng Aiguo again and shamelessly said, "Brother, I want to follow you!"

Seeing that Bang Geng was coming to find him again, Zheng Aiguo felt somewhat helpless.

If I had known, I wouldn't have boasted about making money when I first saw him.

Despite his helplessness, Zheng Aiguo said earnestly, "Jia Geng, you have a proper job. Let me give you a piece of advice: there's no future in following us!"

"Besides, you don't have time. You can't just quit your job, can you? Doing business in Pigeon City is not easy, and it's all about power dynamics."

Unexpectedly, Banggeng quickly said, "Brother, I know you mean well, but sweeping the streets only earns a dozen yuan a month, and it's gone before I even spend it. I'm planning to have a baby, and this little money is simply not enough! Brother, please take me in!"

Judging from Bang Geng's behavior, if I don't take him in, he might just go find someone else.

If I take him in, I can at least take care of him.

So Zheng Aiguo sighed and said to Banggeng, "How about this, Jiageng, you think it over, and I'll think it over too. Let's meet again in three days!"

“But there are risks involved in running a pigeon market! The rule in this business is that if something goes wrong, you can’t implicate your colleagues or go looking for trouble. Although you can earn a lot, the risks are also high. I have to make this clear to you in advance, so you won’t blame me for harming you later.”

Bang Geng immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, don't worry, what kind of person am I, Jia Geng? I'm known for keeping my mouth shut! I'll quit my job as soon as I get back."

As he spoke, Banggeng took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it over: "Brother, you know what kind of situation our family is in. We only managed to scrape together two hundred yuan. This is just a token of my appreciation as your younger brother."

Zheng Aiguo immediately became anxious: "Jia Geng, what do you take me for? I only thought you were a good guy and loyal, so I was going to give you a hand! Take this money back and think it over. If you really intend to work for me, take advantage of the time you have these next few days to get things arranged!"

Banggeng was deeply moved. He stuffed the money into his pocket and walked home with an excited expression.

The next day, Banggeng quit his job without telling his mother.

No sooner had Bang Geng resigned than someone else took his place.

For half a month, Banggeng bought either chickens or pork, and the Jia family's life visibly improved.

Qin Huairu finally had a genuine smile on her face.

"Huai Ru, Bang Geng is doing really well now, he can earn his own money, you can finally relax," Yi Zhonghai said with emotion as Qin Huai Ru brought him food.

Seeing that Bang Geng had become successful, Yi Zhonghai actually felt a little uneasy.

The better the Jia family's living conditions, the less important he became.

"Uncle, please don't praise him like that. I have to go now." Although Qin Huairu spoke modestly, she couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

That night, Qin Huairu waited until midnight, but Bang Geng still hadn't returned.

Just as Qin Huairu was feeling anxious, Zhou Xiuying walked in from outside: "Mom, hasn't Banggeng come back yet?"

Qin Huairu nodded, her worry barely concealed.

Hearing the noise, Jia Zhangshi, who was already asleep, also got out of bed.

Looking at Zhou Xiuying and Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi asked with some doubt, "Why aren't you two asleep at this hour?"

"Mom, Banggeng hasn't come back yet, we're a little worried!" Qin Huairu sighed.

Madam Jia panicked immediately: "What? Bang Geng hasn't come back yet? What time is it? No, I have to go find him!"

Qin Huairu quickly grabbed Jia Zhangshi, who was about to go find the stick: "Mom, it's so dark, where are you going to find it? What if you get hurt again? How will we live together then!"

Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Jia Zhangshi stopped her steps as she was about to leave.

After finding a stool and sitting down, Jia Zhangshi looked at Qin Huairu and said, "But we can't just stay at home and wait like this!"

Qin Huairu looked at Zhou Xiuying and asked, "Xiuying, did Banggeng say anything to you today?"

"He said he had a big deal to do in the next couple of days and told me to wait and count the money!" Zhou Xiuying said after thinking for a moment, "But he hasn't come back so late tonight, so I'm a little worried..."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Huairu said, "Don't worry, Banggeng will be fine. He's probably busy with something. If you're afraid to sleep alone, come and sleep in our room."

Zhou Xiuying shook her head and said, "No need, I'll just go back to my room to sleep!"

The next morning, before Qin Huairu went to work, two police officers entered the courtyard.

Guided by Yan Bugui, the two policemen went directly to the Jia family's house.

Seeing the police officers appear at the door, Qin Huairu quickly came out and asked, "Comrade, is there something you need?"

"Excuse me, is this Jia Geng's home?" one of the police officers asked Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I'm her mother."

"We've come to inform you that Jia Geng has been arrested for illegally operating a black market and engaging in speculation and profiteering."

Upon hearing the police's words, Qin Huairu was immediately shocked: "Officers, are you sure you're not mistaken? My Banggeng is a good boy. He's sweeping the streets now. How could he possibly be involved in any buying and selling?"

One of the police officers looked at Qin Huairu and said, "He resigned from the neighborhood committee more than half a month ago, he probably didn't tell you! When we caught him last night, we caught him red-handed, there's no way we arrested the wrong person!"

"Moreover, according to our investigation, this is not the first time he has done this! We are here today to inform your family."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and fainted.

She never expected that Bang Geng would be arrested for nothing!

Just when things were looking up and down, Qin Huairu was only happy for a couple of days before a bolt from the blue struck.

Seeing Qin Huairu faint, Yi Zhonghai was the most anxious: "Huairu, wake up! Someone, quickly help get her to the hospital."

Qin Huairu is now Yi Zhonghai's only option for taking care of him in his old age. If she also falls ill, then this old man can forget about living.

Seeing Qin Huairu being sent to the hospital, Jia Zhangshi still tried to throw a tantrum in front of the police to gain sympathy, but the police didn't buy it and left directly!

Watching the police leave, Zhou Xiuying, though somewhat uneasy, still helped Jia Zhangshi up with Xiao Dang, reassuring her not to worry before things were cleared up.

Chapter 570, Qin Huairu Wants to Remarry! (Please Subscribe!)

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai used their connections to inquire everywhere and finally learned that Bang Geng's case was quite serious and he would have to be sentenced!

However, the sentence has not yet been determined.

Zhou Xiuying also comforted Qin Huairu, saying that she would wait for Bang Geng for the rest of her life.

But a few days later, he heard that Bang Geng would be sentenced to at least seven or eight years in prison, so he went straight back to his rural hometown that night.

If Bang Geng's actions were merely normal buying and selling, he would only be sentenced to a few months at most.

The problem is that some of the items involved in this case of smuggling and reselling are prohibited by the country, so the sentencing time will be relatively long.

Moreover, Zheng Aiguo fled immediately after learning that Bang Geng had been arrested.

Since Zheng Aiguo was not caught, Bang Geng naturally became the main culprit.

That's why the punishments are relatively severe.

When Qin Huairu learned that Zhou Xiuying had run away, she almost fainted again.

Fortunately, Huaihua was on holiday at home and was able to help Qin Huairu in time.

When Jia Zhangshi learned that Bang Geng might have to serve several years in prison, she completely collapsed!

The verdict for Bang Geng came down quickly: eight years.

When the notice was delivered, Qin Huairu fainted from crying again.

The stick is Qin Huairu's only motivation to support this family!

Now that she has lost all motivation and her daughter-in-law has run away, Qin Huairu feels like her heart is about to die!

However, after waking up, Qin Huairu heard another shocking piece of news—that Jia Zhangshi had gone mad upon learning that Bang Geng was going to serve eight years in prison!

If Xiao Dang and Huaihua hadn't held her back so tightly, Jia Zhangshi might have run off somewhere!

Looking at the deranged Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu felt a wave of dizziness wash over her!

Xiao Shan never expected that the Jia family would fall before he even went to Hong Kong!

"Life is truly unpredictable!" Xiao Shan sighed as he held Xiao Jingshu and listened to the radio.

After dinner, Xiao Shan went out for a stroll as usual.

As I passed by the Intermediate People's Court, I happened to see Qin Huairu washing clothes.

Seeing that Qin Huairu looked noticeably more haggard, Xiao Shan sighed and said to her, "Sister-in-law, we've been neighbors for so many years, there's something I'm not sure if I should say!"

Qin Huairu turned her head and forced a smile, saying, "Xiaoshan, you say it."

“Sister-in-law, you only live once, you have to live for yourself!” Xiao Shan said slowly. “Before, you did it for the children and for your mother-in-law. Now your mother-in-law has gone mad, Xiao Dang and Huaihua have grown up, and Bang Geng has been imprisoned. He won’t be out for another eight years.”

“You’re only forty now, there’s no need for you to cling to the Jia family. You can find someone to marry! Besides, you can still have children. Find someone without children, have a son or daughter, and you’ll be the rightful mistress of the house. Isn’t that much better than staying in this family?”

"Prices are getting higher and higher now, and your salary alone is barely enough to make ends meet! But after the baby is born, where will the money for marriage and having children come from? You have to plan for the future, right?"

"Now that your mother-in-law has gone mad, she won't stop you anymore. You can find someone new and pursue your own happiness!"

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Qin Huairu was truly moved!

The mother-in-law has gone mad, the son is in jail, and the two daughters will be getting married in a few years. There's no hope left for this family! Qin Huairu looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, thank you for your kindness! But this is a big deal, I need to think about it carefully."

After saying that, Qin Huairu took the clothes and went home.

Xiaoshan didn't care about this.

He just mentioned it casually!

In the Jia family's room, only Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were present; Jia Zhangshi had now gone mad.

Qin Huairu had never thought about remarrying before, but now she had the idea in her mind.

However, seeing Jia Zhangshi like this, Qin Huairu was at a loss as to what to do.

We can't just leave Jia Zhangshi here to fend for herself!

How will I face the joke about being released from prison?

Qin Huairu was even thinking of finding a wife and having children for Bang Geng after he was born!

However, if you have a mentally unstable mother-in-law, it will be too difficult for you to remarry!

However, Qin Huairu ultimately decided that even if she were to remarry, she must take Jia Zhangshi with her.

I can't abandon my image as a filial son.

Being filial to one's elders earns one respect wherever one goes.

And this isn't even her biological mother, but her mother-in-law.

Therefore, taking Jia Zhangshi with him when he remarries would have significant potential benefits for him.

Another week passed, and Zhao, the matchmaker from the neighborhood, suddenly came to the courtyard.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai and his two other retired grandfathers would gather together to play chess in the front or middle yard when they had nothing else to do.
