Siheyuan: Rebirth of Shazhu, Many Children and Blessings

"Where else could it have come from? From your kitchen, right?" Jia Zhang explained with a frown.

"It's just braised beef."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I don't understand what you are saying." He Yuzhu said,

“Since my wife and Yu Shui didn’t give him food and didn’t let him go to the kitchen, why did he go to my kitchen to eat?”

"Banggeng has been rummaging through your kitchen for food since he was a child. Isn't it normal for him to find food on his own?" Jia Zhang was accustomed to this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.

“Taking something without asking is called stealing!” He Yuzhu emphasized the word “stealing”.

"Bullshit, how could my son Banggeng be such a good kid, steal things?" Jia Zhang retorted without thinking.

"No one in my family knew that Bang Geng went to the kitchen to get something to eat. If this isn't stealing, what is it?"

He Yuzhu continued, "What's more, I remember that I put the braised beef you mentioned in the cabinet and locked it the day before yesterday."

"Second uncle, third uncle, you said I spent so much on a plate of braised beef, but I didn't give him any stalks to eat.

He went to my kitchen, broke the lock, and ate it. Isn't that stealing?"

"A plate of braised beef, and you locked it?" The second uncle looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief.

"Uncle, do you think there is something wrong with my behavior?" He Yuzhu asked back.

"Haha, that's no problem." The second uncle laughed. Most people lock up their valuables at home.

But he thought that food was becoming scarce, not to mention meat, so it made sense to lock the door.

The third uncle nodded in agreement, "Bang Geng's behavior can indeed be considered stealing."

"How can it be considered stealing?" Jia Zhang exploded like a powder keg. "It's just some broken food. It's not like I can't afford it. Who cares?"

"Besides, it was you who allowed Banggeng to go to your house to get food. Didn't you agree to it?"

At this time, Jia Zhang suddenly became smart and did not admit that Banggeng had stolen things.

"What evidence do you have to prove that I agreed? How come I don't know it myself?"

He Yuzhu sneered, "So according to what you mean, Banggeng has been stealing things from my house since he was a child, right?"

"Second uncle, third uncle, this matter is very serious now, you don't have to worry about it." He Yuzhu looked at the two uncles and said,

"I think we should report it to the police."

Upon hearing this, the second master and Jia Zhang immediately became panicked.

"Shazhu, we can handle it ourselves, there's no need to report it to the police, right?" Now that the first uncle is not here, his second uncle is in charge.

If He Yuzhu reported this matter to the police, his prestige in the courtyard would be greatly reduced.

Jia Zhang was completely guilty and did not dare to let He Yuzhu report to the police.

If the police really determined that Banggeng's behavior was a theft, then his life would be ruined!

The third uncle chose to protect himself at this time and stepped aside without saying a word.

"Second uncle, what are you going to do?" He Yuzhu looked at the second uncle leisurely.

"Jia Zhang, please don't make a fuss about this anymore." Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhang and then at He Yuzhu.

"Banggeng is still young and doesn't understand much, so there's no need to use such a serious word as 'stealing'."

"He has been punished now. If you ask me, let's just leave it at that."

"My whole plate of braised beef was stolen, are we just going to let it go?" He Yuzhu was not going to accept that.

"Since Jia Zhang admits that it was Bang Geng who ate it, let the Jia family pay for it."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was shocked. What? He Yuzhu actually dared to ask her to pay compensation? She immediately refused to do it.

"Bang Geng wants me to pay him money just because your braised beef is still in the hospital. No way!"

Just when the two were about to argue again, Yi Zhonghai came back from the hospital.

When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai, it was as if she had found her backbone.

"Uncle, how is our Banggeng?"

"I'm a little dehydrated. The doctor asked me to stay in the hospital and get some fluids for observation."

"What about the money? How much will it cost?" Jia Zhang asked anxiously, "We don't have any money. How long can Banggeng stay?"

"Don't worry, I brought money with me."

After finishing speaking, Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu.

"Zhuzi, come with me."

"Uncle, just say whatever you want to say." He Yuzhu stood there without moving.

Yi Zhonghai's breath was held when he saw that He Yuzhu didn't appreciate it.

"Then let me ask you, how come there is laxative in the food in your kitchen?"

"What? Laxatives?" Jia Zhang was instantly excited when she heard this.

"No wonder our Bang Geng had diarrhea for the whole day. It turned out to be because of you, He Yuzhu, gave him a laxative?"

"What do you mean by laxative? Please use your brain before you speak." He Yuzhu rolled his eyes.

"I put laxatives in my own home and then deliberately gave it to Banggeng to eat?"

"Isn't that it!" Jia Zhang stared at He Yuzhu with hatred.

"Then explain it to me." Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu, not letting go of the expression on his face.

"Uncle, I prepared this braised beef for myself. I have been having trouble defecating recently, so what's wrong with taking some laxatives?"

He Yuzhu said it without hesitation, "I put it in a locked cabinet, how could I know that Banggeng would eat it?"

"The laxative you prepared for yourself?"

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there anyone who says you can't take laxatives?"

"It's nothing. Since it's an accident, let's just let it go." Yi Zhonghai didn't want to make a big deal out of this.

After all, if a thief happens in the courtyard, it will affect the reputation of the entire courtyard.

"You can go over if you want." He Yuzhu grinned, "Just pay for the plate of beef, and forget it."

"No way!" Jia Zhang glared at He Yuzhu fiercely. She would never compensate the money.

However, Yi Zhonghai asked, "How much?"

"Not much, just eighty cents."

"I'll give you the money." Yi Zhonghai handed it to He Yuzhu from his pocket, "This matter is over."

"Okay, no problem." He Yuzhu took the money in his hand and deliberately waved it in front of Jia Zhang.

"Uncle, I have to reiterate this again.

No one in our family has ever agreed to Bang Geng's behavior. If this happens again in the future, I won't be so easy to deal with."

When He Yuzhu said this, he would occasionally give Jia Zhang a look that told her to take care of herself, which made the latter very angry.

But now that things have come to this, Jia Zhang can’t say anything more.

After saying this, He Yuzhu no longer cared about anyone else and pulled He Yushui and Lou Xiaoe into the house.

He Yushui glanced outside the door, leaned close to He Yuzhu's ear, and lowered his voice, "Brother, did you do this on purpose?"
