Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Ouch...this isn't right!"

"I'm old now, and my brain isn't working well anymore?"

Zhang Cuifang was rummaging through the wardrobe while muttering to herself. She was thinking to herself, the iron box should have contained a thousand yuan, how come there was suddenly a hundred yuan missing?

Zhang Cuifang counted over and over again until her eyes became dizzy.

"This is wrong! Who of you touched my money?"

As he spoke, a pair of three-cornered eyes kept scanning Jia Dongxu and Bang Geng like reconnaissance cameras.

But in the end, his eyes fell on Bang Geng.

"It's you?"

Banggeng was very confused when his name was suddenly called.

She looked at Zhang Cuifang innocently, "Grandma, it wasn't me! You kept your money so hidden, how would I know where you put it! Please don't wrongly accuse me!"

Having said that, Banggeng stood up and lay down on the bed, continuing to read the picture book.

Zhang Cuifang stared at him with her eyes slanted, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"No, it must be you! You little bastard, there's a thief in the house!"

"Don't shout, have you forgotten that I'm not at home now? I can't let others know that I'm at home! Don't shout, don't shout..."

"That won't work. Can you grow wings and fly with just one hundred dollars? You little bastard, it's hard to imitate a thief in your own home!"

As she spoke, Zhang Cuifang swung the broom and hit the stick.

"Hey, hey, hey, grandma, don't worry! Keep your voice down! You have to cooperate with me and hide the fact that I'm not at home and go out. Don't make any noise!"

"I stole the money, okay? No, I took it. I have a business to do. How can I run a business without money?"

Under the coercion of Zhang Cuifang, Banggeng finally admitted his crime.

Hearing that it was about business, Zhang Cuifang put down her broom for the time being and listened to his explanation.

"Okay, then why did you steal the money? Did you treat them to a feast? That's a hundred dollars! It's enough for us to eat for several months!"

"You prodigal son, how dare you steal my coffin book from behind my back!"

For Lao Zhang, everything else doesn’t matter, but don’t ever mention money to him!

This money is his pension. Now Jia Dongxu is paralyzed and he won’t live for many days.

Banggeng is young and hot-tempered, and he cannot be relied upon.

Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious with money, for fear that Banggeng would steal all his money and squander it.

You have brought up your child since he was young, so how could you not know his own nature?

"Alright, alright, grandma, please be quiet! I'm doing this for business, right? They're all big bosses, and I'm just an ordinary citizen. I can't even reach them. If I don't take the initiative to invite them to dinner and find an opportunity to meet them, I won't even be able to see their faces!"

"Tell me yourself, is this business still viable? Is it still profitable?"

Banggeng's questioning did not confuse Zhang Cuifang. She still had to support this, but...

"If you want to start a business, go do it yourself! But don't think of my coffin. If you don't have money, won't you ask your mother for it? Will she care about these little things? He doesn't care, but I do. How old am I? Can I still make money?"

Zhang Cuifang was honest. This money was saved by him from eating and drinking for free every day, plus some money left by Lao Yi when he passed away. It was accumulated over time!

In order to save money, he even reduced the dosage of his favorite painkillers. It’s not easy for him!

You know your own suffering!

Bang Geng laughed secretly and said, "Okay, I'll give you a hundred dollars. I'll pay you back double when I make money!"

"But please stop yelling, old man. Don't let anyone in the courtyard, especially Xu Damao, know that I'm at home!"

"Do you keep your word?"

Zhang Cuifang knew all too well the tricks used by Bang Geng to deceive people. From childhood to adulthood, she had cheated the boss and the Li family. She could remember them all clearly, and not a single one of them was without her own contribution.

This is how he gained the reputation of being the thief king.

Now this skill is actually used on herself. Zhang Cuifang never expected it and it is absolutely unbelievable.

"Whoever doesn't keep his word is a dog!"

After saying this, the two looked at each other affectionately. Although Zhang Cuifang was old, her eyes drooped and half of her eyes were covered.

But there is light in his eyes!

He completely treated Banggeng as a petty thief and not his grandson at all.

Bang Geng saw that the situation was not good and quickly tried to make amends, "Alright, alright, whoever doesn't keep his word will be this!"

After saying that, Bang Geng put his right hand on his left hand and made the motion of a turtle swimming in the sea. Zhang Cuifang was so angry that she picked up a large aluminum basin at hand and smashed it at him.

"Fuck you! Get out of here! You dare to lie to me..."

"Shh... please be quiet. If someone doesn't know, they would think you and my dad are arguing!"

"Hiss...you kid..."

As they spoke, the two turned around to look at Jia Dongxu, who was holding his breath, and curled their lips.

This New Year, I'm afraid their family won't be able to enjoy a comfortable life...

Xu Damao was ignored by Bang Geng for three days, and Bang Geng was really upset during these three days. In order to play his part well, he waited until there was no one in the yard before he dared to go out for some fresh air. Once he went out, he would always climb over the wall to come back when the moon was clear and the wind was high.

Make everyone in the compound believe that he has gone out and is not in the compound at all.

Xu Damao had been shouting at people every day these past few days. At first, it was Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong, but no matter how he shouted, these two people seemed not to hear him and did not respond at all.

Later it turned into verbal abuse. Anyone who passed by their house might be frightened by the sudden verbal abuse, which was similar to the crazy effect of Qin Huairu at the beginning.

These days, Banggeng has made Xu Damao very fat...

"Fuck, who is this? Get out of here!"

"I don't need to pity you. I'll come looking for you every night as a starving ghost!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Who are you looking for? Are you still starving? You sound quite energetic!"

Bang! Banggeng kicked the door open. Xu Damao barely raised his head and took a look. Light instantly appeared in his eyes.

"Gengzi, you're finally back. I missed you so much... Gengzi! Come here..."

Xu Damao's noise almost made Bang Geng vomit his breakfast, but it's only been a few days and Xu Damao has really lost weight.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for just a few days, but your face seems to have grown taller!"

"Geng, can you please hope for uncle's wellness? I miss you so much..." As he said that, Xu Damao used all his strength to sit up, then fell forward and fell directly into Bang Geng's arms.

"Hehehe, what's the matter? Is it that serious? Before, you wanted to kick me when you saw me, but now... is it necessary to be so intimate? Tsk, you are just being hypocritical!"

Banggeng had seen through Xu Damao's hypocrisy and naturally knew that this guy had to bow to him just for the sake of his stuttering.

"You don't know, Gengzi, how cruel the people in the courtyard are. I yelled at the top of my lungs every day but no one paid any attention to me. The second and third uncles were afraid that I would starve to death in the house, so they only sent me one meal a day, and it was damn porridge, so watery that not even a grain of rice could be seen. I am more miserable than a refugee!"
