Comfortable life in Siheyuan

At night, Bang Geng went to his house alone. It was already completely dark when he got there.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! Lili, it's me! Open the door!" Banggeng knocked on the door a few times and shouted in a low voice.

The lights in the room were still on, but no one answered.

"Knock! Knock knock! Open the door, Lili! Are you asleep?" Banggeng's voice gradually became louder.

The room was still quiet.

Banggeng gradually became impatient, and the knocking on the door became louder and louder.

At this time, Brother Wang next door pushed open the door.

"Can you please keep your voice down a bit? You woke up the child just as he fell asleep. I've been working all day and I can't even take a nap!" Brother Wang's voice sounded a little impatient, and Banggeng was in a bad mood too.

"What does it have to do with you if I knock on my own door? Go wherever you want." Banggeng retorted.

"If you knock again, be careful or I'll beat you up." Brother Wang clenched his fist and warned.

"Come on! Who is afraid of whom?"

At this moment, the door finally opened and Bang Geng was pulled in by someone in the room.

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.

"Lili, you finally opened the door." Banggeng laughed stiffly twice.

"Can you stop causing trouble? He's our neighbor, why are you arguing with him? It would be fine if he didn't come back, but as soon as he came back he caused trouble for me." Wang Li walked into the inner room coldly and locked the door.

"Lili, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will work hard in the future and try to get a permanent job as soon as possible." He promised in a low voice while leaning against the door.

"Your guarantee is really worthless. You've written several guarantees over the years we've been married. Are they useful?" Wang Li's voice in the room was still emotionless.

"I also want to make this family better. I'm an apprentice and my salary is not high. I took some scrap steel from the factory and wanted to sell it to supplement my family. How could I know that I couldn't take this stuff? Those apprentices kept lying to me that it was okay to take less of this stuff. I..."

Bang Geng's eyes were red. He was not a fool, he just liked to think on the positive side of things.

"You are even more of an asshole. You can't even understand such a simple truth. You fall for it when others lie to you. I think you should stop calling yourself Banggeng and change your name to Bangchui."

"Stop insulting me. I've come back to admit my mistake. What else do you want? Aren't you embarrassed about the way we are now?" Bang Geng was provoked by Wang Li and started to speak without thinking.

"You're like this and you still want to come back and live a good life? Bah! Go back to your mother." Wang Li cursed angrily in the house.

"Fuck! Get out of here!" Banggeng turned around, opened the door and walked out without saying a word.

When Banggeng returned to the courtyard, the gate was locked.

Now the job of locking the courtyard door has been handed over to Sha Zhu and his wife.

They were always the last ones to come back from the courtyard, so when they got home, they would lock the door.

"Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!" The third uncle had just fallen asleep when there was a burst of rapid knocks on the door.

"Who is this?" The third uncle shouted loudly, then quickly sat up.

"Who is it? It's already so late, why is there still someone here?" The third aunt was also woken up and asked in a daze.

"I don't know either! Is there something urgent?" The third uncle simply put on a coat and walked out.

"Who is it? Who is outside?" The third uncle did not open the door immediately, but asked first.

"I'm Jia Geng!" Bang Geng replied stiffly.

"Jia Geng?" The third uncle was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, "Oh! It's Bang Geng! When did you go out? Didn't you come back a long time ago?"

Only then did the third uncle go over and open the door.

"I went to see a friend for something and came back late." Bang Geng said and walked straight in without closing the door.

"Don't you have any manners? I get up late at night to open the door for you, but you can't even say thank you! You are so ill-mannered!" The third uncle shook his head in disgust, closed the door and went back.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, the third aunt asked, "Who is outside? It's late at night. Is there something urgent?"

"It's not a big deal. It's that little bastard Banggeng. I don't know when he went out. When I opened the door for him just now, he had a very long face." The third uncle took off his coat and lay down again.

"He's been like this these days. He treats everyone as if they owe him money." The third aunt didn't think there was anything strange about it, but she didn't like this boy either.

"You don't know, just now when I went to open the door for him, he had a grumpy face, as if I owed him something. I say that no matter whose child is in our courtyard, this one is the worst in terms of ability or character." The third uncle said angrily.

"That's true. Even Liu Guangfu is much better than him!" said the third aunt.

Liu Guangfu just didn't know that the third aunt was praising him, otherwise he would have to thank her eight generations of ancestors.

The next morning, Qin Huairu went to the next room and saw Banggeng lying on the bed still sleeping soundly, and she became angry again.

He opened the door and walked in, immediately throwing off the quilt.

"Why are you sleeping? Didn't you go back yesterday? Why are you back again? How was your conversation with Lili?" Qin Huairu asked rapidly, eyes wide open.

"Mom, give me the quilt. I didn't get back until midnight last night. Lili refused to open the door, and I was freezing at the door for a long time." Banggeng didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that Qin Huairu would nag at him again.

"Why are you sleeping? It's time to go to work. You should get up early!" Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng and thought to herself, "Why is this son so useless? He has been learning from Xu Damao for so long, but he can't even handle his own wife."

"Mom, I really tried my best. The neighbors all came out and said that I disturbed them by knocking on the door. I really have no other choice!" Banggeng lay down helplessly, picked up a pillow, and fell asleep.

"Get up. Why are you sleeping? Get ready for work." Qin Huairu threw down the quilt and left angrily.

Banggeng slept for another ten minutes before slowly getting up to wash.

"Mom, is breakfast ready? I'm starving."

"Eat shit! I didn't make breakfast. If you want to eat breakfast, go back to your wife!" Qin Huairu really didn't make breakfast today, and she was not in the mood to serve this young master.

"Mom, this is all physical work. I can't do it without breakfast!"

"Go buy it with your own money." Qin Huairu ignored him and went out for a walk.

Banggeng felt his pockets and found that he didn't have even a penny. He had to go to work on an empty stomach.

When he walked to the front yard, the third uncle also looked grim when he saw him and snorted coldly.

Bang Geng entered the factory, his anger grew stronger and stronger, so he simply didn't go to the workshop, and went to find the apprentices who beat him...
