Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Zhang Minghui held Doudou in his arms, rocking her gently without saying a word. He stared out the window, as if he could see through the thick walls and see what was happening at the Jia family.

Even a child understands this truth, but Jia Zhang turns a blind eye to it. Isn't it just greed that's causing all this?

"Heaven brings rain, man brings disaster!" Die! Jia Zhangshi.

November 20

The weather was cloudy and extremely cold early in the morning. The sunlight was dim and the cloud cover had increased significantly. It seemed that God was going to send the first snow of winter early.

Zhang Minghui, who had just started working, saw snowflakes falling one by one, floating down in the city.

This year's first snow fell particularly heavily. When it stopped in the afternoon, the snow was piled up on the ground, covering even the ankles.

Banggeng looked at the sky where it was snowing, his eyes rolling around. During the lunch break, when the children were not paying attention, he sneaked out of the classroom and ran home.

Banggeng pretended to be sick at home two days ago, preparing to steal something. Unexpectedly, Yang Huixian caught a cold and was recuperating at home. Jia Zhang did not let Banggeng take any action and told her beloved eldest grandson.

Wait a couple of days before taking action.

Seeing Yang Huixian go to work this morning, Jia Zhang hugged Banggeng's neck and whispered.

"Wait until noon, come back from school, and go to the backyard to act."

I jogged all the way and when I got home, I was exhausted and out of breath. After entering the yard, I didn't see anyone. It was snowing and everyone stayed at home and didn't want to come out.

Banggeng was stepping on the snow, making a crunching sound. When he returned home, Qin Huairu saw him and asked him in surprise.

"Bang Geng, why are you back so early? Don't you have classes this afternoon?"

Bang Geng stretched his neck and lied to deal with Qin Huairu.

"Mom, isn't it snowing today? The teacher said there won't be any classes this afternoon."

Qin Huairu didn't think much after hearing this and started sewing clothes on the kang. When Jia Zhang saw Banggeng coming home, she was delighted and winked at him, who understood and went out.

Jia Zhang stood at the door, looked around, and spoke in a low voice.

"Bang Geng, go ahead! Grandma will watch over you."

Bang Geng rushed to the door of Zhang Minghui's house in the backyard amid the falling snow. He looked around and found that the door was locked and no one was paying attention to this place.

Banggeng used a wire to poke the padlock of Zhang Minghui's house a few times. In just a few seconds, he pried the padlock open. A look of joy appeared on Banggeng's face, and he muttered to himself.

"This lock is really easy to open. Uncle Shazhu taught me really well."

Banggeng went to the east room first and searched around. The east room was where people slept. After searching for a long time, Banggeng didn't see anything delicious.

So he turned and went to the west room. As soon as he entered the room, he was startled by the photo on the mourning hall. He touched his beating heart and calmed himself down.

I saw a linen bag on the table.

Banggeng went forward to take a look and laughed. There were two cans of food and a small bag of White Rabbit milk candy. Just as he was about to take the bag home, he saw 10 yuan on the clipboard of the cabinet next to him.

Banggeng's eyes lit up. He knew the value of money. One yuan could buy a lot of candies and whips. So many, great.

Putting the sackcloth bag on the table, Banggeng quickly came to the cabinet, propped up the wooden cabinet with his head, and looked inside. A large stack of bonds was placed in front of him.

Bang Geng put his head on the cabinet and stretched his hand hard to reach it.

After taking out the money, he stuffed it into his clothes pocket and moved his head away from the cabinet. There was a loud "bang" and the cabinet smashed with a loud noise.

Banggeng was so scared that he waited for a long time, but when no one came, he ran back home with his bag, forgetting to close the door.

When Jia Zhang saw Banggeng coming back with the bag, her eyes immediately lit up and she was so happy that she wanted to kiss Banggeng twice. Banggeng pulled her grandmother to a corner and took out a stack of big unity coins from his pocket.

Jia Zhang immediately turned around and looked around, fearing that others would find out. After grabbing the money, she counted them one by one. There was a total of 240 yuan.

Jia Zhang smiled so much that her wrinkles were blooming. She took out a dollar from her pocket and gave it to Bang Geng as a reward, while lowering her head and speaking.

"Bang Geng, go back to school quickly and pretend you don't know about this. If anyone asks you, just say you haven't been back to the school."

Banggeng nodded, put the money in his pocket, and hurried out to play. He would never go back to school!

Jia Zhang counted the money over and over again, went into the house and drove Qin Huairu out, then put the money together with her own pension money, hid it directly under a brick, and even stepped on it twice.

In fact, Jia Dongxu had known where she hid her money for a long time, but Jia Dongxu didn't dare to touch her mother's pension money. If he did, Jia Zhang would never forgive him.

At around 5pm, Doudou, who had been playing at school for a while, was taken home by Cheng Siyu. As soon as he arrived at the backyard, Doudou saw that the front door of his house was wide open.

Doudou screamed.

"There's a thief in the house."

Just as he was about to run back home, he suddenly remembered his brother's instructions. Seeing Cheng Siyu, who was pale with fright, he took Cheng Siyu's hand and spoke tremblingly.

"Sister Siyu, my brother said that if there is a thief in the house, don't panic. Wait until he comes back. Don't let anyone in. Just destroy the scene."

Doudou's scream just now attracted many people to come over and see. When they heard Doudou say that a thief had broken in, they looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Cheng Siyu looked at Doudou thoughtfully. She wanted Doudou to go to her house for a while, but Doudou refused to agree. Her little face was full of anger, and she glared in the direction of the middle courtyard.

Soon, the news spread throughout the courtyard that Zhang Minghui's house had been robbed and broken into.

Everyone came to the backyard and saw the scene. Even Jia Zhang pretended to come over to take a look and saw that the door was open.

Jia Zhang raised her head proudly, spat, and cursed in her heart.

"You deserve it. You're so arrogant and showy. You have a few bucks, but you're showing off. So my Bang Geng will take action to rob the rich and give to the poor. You'll steal everything from your house."

Doudou stared at Jia Zhang with angry eyes. The aunts and sisters in the yard all stared at Jia Zhang thoughtfully. At noon, someone saw Banggeng sneaking back.

No one spoke at the scene. This matter had to wait for the man to come back and deal with it.

Around 6:30, Zhang Minghui came back from get off work. After pushing the cart into the yard, he was stopped by Yan Fugui, who pulled Zhang Minghui and spoke to him with a serious face.

"Minghui, your house has been robbed. I have just asked everyone and no strangers have entered the yard. It must be an internal thief. How do you want to deal with it?"

When Zhang Minghui heard this, the tension in his heart finally dropped to the ground. His face became calm and he spoke seriously.

"Uncle, I have to go home first to see if anything is missing. If there is no loss, just give me some apology."
