Siheyuan starts to activate the task system
Chapter 276 Darkening Begins
At Zhang Yuan's house, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru were sitting, sipping their tea from their cups. Only Qin Huairu was fidgeting, constantly pacing around, looking at the courtyard from time to time, anxiously waiting for Zhang Yuan to get off work and come home. He Yushui was sitting on the side, glancing at Qin Huairu from time to time, with a hint of displeasure on her face.
It turned out that He Yushui had just learned from Qin Jingru the purpose of Yi Zhonghai and others coming to Zhang Yuan. She muttered to herself: "My silly brother and sister-in-law are really nosy!" She knew that Banggeng had become so naughty and mischievous that it would be difficult for him to change the status quo by his own strength. Qin Huairu only verbally promised to teach Banggeng well every time, but she never took any practical action. If this continues, how can Banggeng have a chance to reform?
However, He Yushui did not speak out her thoughts, because she knew that no one would listen even if she did. She secretly made up her mind that when her child was born, she would never educate him like the Jia family did, and she would use Banggeng as a negative example to teach her child how to be a good person.
"Yushui, how long will it take for Zhang Yuan to come back?" Qin Huairu urged anxiously. This was the seventh time she asked. In just 20 minutes, she kept asking when Zhang Yuan would be home, as if Zhang Yuan owed her something, which annoyed He Yushui.
"Okay, Sister Qin, sit down and wait. Zhang Yuan may have been delayed for a while because of work." Seeing Qin Huairu fidgeting, Sha Zhu comforted her. However, these words sounded like gloating to Qin Huairu.
"Get out! Banggeng is not your son, so of course you don't have to be anxious! He is my darling, and he has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. I don't know how much suffering he will have to endure after being locked up this time!" Qin Huairu cursed, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Qin Jingru was furious when she saw this. She originally thought that Sha Zhu comforted Qin Huairu out of good intentions, but she didn't expect Qin Huairu to bite people like a mad dog, completely ungrateful. Sha Zhu just wanted to calm her down, but he was scolded for no reason. It was really unfair.
After Qin Jingru heard what Qin Huairu said, she was immediately filled with anger. She widened her eyes, pointed at Qin Huairu and cursed: "Cousin, what do you mean by that? Since you think Sha Zhu is wrong, then well, I don't want to help you with this matter! It turns out that your own Bang Geng can't bear the hardship, then you should find a way yourself, don't take it out on Sha Zhu."
After saying that, Qin Jingru pulled Shazhu's hand hard, turned around and prepared to go out. As she walked, she said, "Shazhu, let's go. Don't stay here and make people hate you. It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person! You should be considerate of the person when asking for help. Banggeng deserves to be in jail. Who told him to be dirty? Now he is getting retribution. He deserves it."
Sha Zhu was held by Qin Jingru's hand, and he felt very conflicted and helpless. He knew that Qin Jingru was concerned about him and didn't want him to suffer any grievances, but at the same time, he felt that Qin Huairu was his neighbor after all, and Qin Huairu's family was indeed in trouble. At this moment, he was in a dilemma and didn't know how to choose.
"Enough! It's already this late, and you're still quarreling here. What's the matter? Do you think quarreling can solve the problem? Or do you think quarreling can get Bang Geng out of it? If you continue like this, I will no longer care about Bang Geng's affairs." Yi Zhonghai slammed the table angrily and shouted at the three people.
He Yushui curled her lips in disdain and thought to herself, "This is my home. If you want to make a scene, go somewhere else. Who are you trying to please by crying, making a fuss, and even banging the table in my house?" She was very dissatisfied with their behavior.
At this time, Zhang Yuan finally came back. The reason why he came back so late was that his unit suddenly had something to deal with, which delayed his leaving get off work.
"Oh, is today a special day? Why are there so many people gathered in my house? But let me make it clear in advance that I am not responsible for cooking and entertaining you all." As soon as Zhang Yuan walked in and saw Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu present, he said jokingly.
Hearing Zhang Yuan's voice, Qin Huairu immediately stood up and ran to Zhang Yuan like a flash of lightning. She grabbed Zhang Yuan's shoulders tightly, her eyes full of anxiety and urgency, and asked impatiently: "Zhang Yuan, my Bang Geng is in trouble, can you help me and find a way to rescue Bang Geng?"
"Bang Geng? What's wrong with him? What does his accident have to do with me? I'm not his father." Zhang Yuan looked at Qin Huairu pulling his arm, and directly reached out to push Qin Huairu's hand away, and then said coldly.
"Zhang Yuan, Qin Huairu has begged you. Please help her since we have known each other for so many years. Please have pity on her feelings as a mother." Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious when he saw this, and said quickly to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at Yi Zhonghai and found that his eyes were wandering and he had been avoiding Zhang Yuan's gaze. Just now he acted righteous and altruistic, but now he was evasive.
Yi Zhonghai's actions made Zhang Yuan more confused and he didn't know why he did this.
On the other hand, when Sha Zhu saw Zhang Yuan coming back, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, because he knew Zhang Yuan's identity and ability. If Zhang Yuan was willing to help, Qin Huairu's problem would definitely be properly solved. So he ignored Qin Jingru's obstruction and couldn't wait to ask Zhang Yuan for mercy.
"Brother-in-law, you are a public security officer, you must have a way to rescue Banggeng! Besides, Banggeng didn't do anything serious. He just stole some things in a moment of confusion. After he comes out, I believe that after this lesson, he will definitely change for the better and become a new man." Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Yuan sincerely, his eyes full of expectation and hope.
"Yes," Qin Huairu also quickly interrupted, "Zhang Yuan, I promise you, as long as Banggeng is safe this time, I will take good care of him and will never let him make mistakes again." Her voice was a little anxious and earnest, and she was obviously very worried about her son's safety.
Zhang Yuan cast his eyes towards Qin Jingru and He Yushui. Although Qin Jingru did not say much, the expectation in her eyes was clearly visible. As for He Yushui, she directly persuaded Zhang Yuan, reminding him not to make mistakes because of the Banggeng incident, which would affect his future.
"Forget it, you just tell me the whole story first, but I have to tell you in advance that you must not hide anything from me." In the end, Zhang Yuan decided to lend a helping hand.
As soon as Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Qin Huairu nodded repeatedly as if she had seen the light. Even before Yi Zhonghai agreed, she couldn't wait to tell Zhang Yuan the whole story in detail.
After Zhang Yuan finished listening, he pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "If the matter only stops here, it is not difficult to handle. You must first contact the victim and try your best to reach a private settlement. Take the initiative to compensate the other party for their losses, meet their needs, and obtain a letter of understanding. In this way, Banggeng should be fine, and he may be able to be released after spending a few days in the juvenile detention center."
"Ah, I have to pay compensation? How can I not pay? Zhang Yuan, can't you just make a phone call and ask your colleague to release him? And if Banggeng is put in a juvenile detention center, how will he find a job and get married in the future?" Qin Huairu was extremely unhappy when she heard that she had to pay compensation and go to a juvenile detention center. She just wanted Banggeng to be released immediately, not as Zhang Yuan said.
"It's okay if you don't take the initiative to pay the money. You can just stay in the juvenile detention center for a few more days. Compensation is necessary anyway, and you can't avoid it." Zhang Yuan said unhappily when he saw Qin Huairu was stubborn.
Qin Huairu looked reluctant after hearing this, but still asked unwillingly: "How much do we need to pay?"
Zhang Yuan replied: "It depends on the specific situation. First of all, we need to understand the wishes of the victims. If we can gain their understanding, and with my mediation, it shouldn't be too much. However, you still have to be mentally prepared. After all, it involves theft, which is no small matter."
"That's not what I meant. I just don't have any money." Qin Huairu saw Zhang Yuan getting angry and immediately became timid and stammered out the truth. Her money was stolen by Banggeng, and because it was evidence, the police station has not yet returned it to her. Moreover, she heard that the victim had more than 300 yuan stolen, and the money she had was not enough to compensate. In addition, Zhang Yuan said that she had to reach a settlement with the other party, so she was bound to be asked for a huge sum of money by the other party.
"Qin Huairu, why don't you do what Zhang Yuan said first." Yi Zhonghai said.
Qin Huairu frowned and looked a little worried after hearing this. She knew that this money might cause some financial pressure on her family. But she also felt that Zhang Yuan was right. Banggeng had indeed made a big mistake this time and could not be let off easily. So, she gritted her teeth and decided to do what Zhang Yuan said first.
Afterwards, Zhang Yuan called the police station at home to learn about the progress of the case. He learned that Bang Geng had been detained in a juvenile detention center, awaiting further investigation. Zhang Yuan explained his identity to the police on the other end of the phone and expressed his willingness to help resolve the matter. The other party replied and told him to let Qin Huairu communicate with the victim as soon as possible, hoping to reach a settlement agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan told Qin Huairu about the situation. Qin Huairu felt relieved. Although she was still worried that Banggeng would suffer in the juvenile detention center, at least there was a solution now.
After getting the solution, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu said goodbye one after another. After the two left, they did not go home separately, but went to Jia's house. After waiting for half an hour, Yi Zhonghai went home first, and then Qin Huairu came out of Jia's house. At this time, Qin Huairu's face was flushed, but she did not look as worried as before, but seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood.
Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu left the police station and finally obtained a letter of forgiveness from the other party after paying a certain price. The money was paid by Yi Zhonghai on behalf of Qin Huairu. As for why Yi Zhonghai paid for Qin Huairu, only the two of them knew the reason.
Afterwards, they immediately rushed to the police station with the letter of apology. After the police confirmed that everything was correct, they told them: "Although Banggeng has been forgiven by the victim, his behavior is very bad and he needs to undergo compulsory education in the juvenile detention center for one month."
After hearing the news, Qin Huairu froze in place as if struck by lightning, then her eyes went dark and she fainted. Yi Zhonghai quickly supported Qin Huairu and shouted anxiously: "Huairu! Huairu!"
After a long while, Qin Huairu finally woke up. After waking up, Qin Huairu was in tears. She looked at Yi Zhonghai with great grievance and said, "Uncle, what should I do? I have paid such a great price, why can't I save Banggeng?" After that, Qin Huairu started to cry again.
Yi Zhonghai comforted her, "Huai Ru, don't be too sad. We have tried our best. After he has been educated in the juvenile detention center for a period of time, maybe he will be able to reform himself."
Qin Huairu wiped her tears, nodded and said, "I hope so. But I'm really worried that Banggeng won't be able to stand life in the juvenile detention center."
Yi Zhonghai sighed, patted Qin Huairu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Huairu. Banggeng is still young after all, and it's a good thing for him to suffer a little. Besides, we can visit him often and bring him some delicious food and daily necessities. As long as we don't give up, I believe Banggeng will turn over a new leaf."
Qin Huairu felt a little better after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. She knew that now she could only accept the reality and wait for Banggeng to come back in a month.
Over the next month, Zhang Yuan always felt that there were some strange noises at night, which sounded like a male cat in heat or calling. These noises sounded at about the same time every night, which made Zhang Yuan very confused. So he decided to ask Tom, but he didn't get any useful answers.
At the same time, Zhang Yuan noticed that Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards Qin Huairu had changed. He began to show concern for her frequently, asking about her well-being, even more than Xu Damao, her legal husband. However, this may not be entirely blamed on Yi Zhonghai, because Xu Damao had hardly been at home in the past month, and most of the time he went to the countryside to visit the young widow, and did not care about his new wife at all.
Despite this, Zhang Yuan still felt that something was not right. He began to wonder if Yi Zhonghai had ulterior motives, especially when he saw Yi Zhonghai being overly attentive to Qin Huairu. This situation gave Zhang Yuan a sense of foreboding, and he was worried that things might become complicated.
Until one day, Banggeng came back from the juvenile detention center. He became darker and thinner than before, and became more taciturn. No one could guess what he was thinking.
Because Banggeng came back, Qin Huairu, out of concern or guilt, took all the delicious food at home and gave it to Banggeng when Xu Damao was not at home.
But what no one expected was that something happened in the yard the night after Banggeng returned.
