As soon as Bang Geng finished speaking, Jia Zhang couldn't believe her ears. She scratched with her fingers and asked, "What did you say?"

"Grandma, I mean I want a watch too." Banggeng raised his voice and shouted at Jia Zhang.

When he thought of the watch Lin Donglai was wearing, he felt itchy. No one in the class had a watch yet. If he wore it to school, his classmates would surely be very envious.

After hearing what Bang Geng said, Jia Zhang was horrified and shouted, "My little ancestor, do you want to kill me? Do you know how much a watch costs?"

"The kid is so ignorant. He just opens his mouth and says things. Even if we don't eat or drink for half a year, we can't buy a watch. Don't even think about these things that we don't have, okay?"

After hearing what grandma said, Bang Geng pouted his lips and said, "Grandma, I want it, I want it."

"Lin Donglai from the front yard went to pick up his sister at the school gate today. He had a new watch on his wrist, and it looked really nice on him."

"Grandma, please buy me one. As long as you buy me a watch, I will do my homework well, okay, okay!"

Bang Geng didn't care and crawled to Jia Zhang's side, pulling her clothes and shaking them hard, begging non-stop.

Xiaodang and Huaihua gathered around the kang and watched their brother acting coquettishly towards grandma. They didn't dare to go forward and just stood aside and watched timidly.

Jia Zhang was unable to break free, and she was so anxious that she kept cursing on the kang: "Mr. Lin is really a bad apple in our courtyard. Why is he wearing a watch for no reason?"

"I just made some lousy money. What's there to brag about? Even if I show off, I'm still a fatherless, motherless, and girlfriendless bastard. What's so great about that?"

When Bang Geng heard this, he also hurriedly said, "Grandma, I also want to show off like Lin Donglai. I am not afraid of having no parents or a partner. Just buy me a watch."

Qin Huairu, who had just returned home from get off work, heard this. She had been scolded by the workshop director at the factory today and was so angry that she had no place to vent it.

Banggeng's words were clearly a curse to her death. The anger in her stomach immediately rose to her head. She entered the house and dragged Banggeng off the kang:

"Pa!" He slapped him hard in the face and cursed loudly, "Bang Geng, you dare to say such a thing? It really wasted all my hard work!"

"You are already so old, you don't know what our family conditions are like. It's good enough to have enough to eat, but you still want this and that all the time. I think you deserve a beating!"

This was the first time that Banggeng was beaten by his mother since he was a child. He just stood there and forgot to cry. Instead, it was Jia Zhang who reacted first. She twisted her fat body and jumped off the kang.

He walked up to Qin Huairu and tore her apart while scolding her: "Qin Huairu! Why are you hitting her? He is still young and ignorant. Are you also ignorant?"

"I'm telling you, if you beat him to death, I'll never forgive you! Go away!" As he said this, he pushed Qin Huairu aside with force.

Qin Huairu was not as tall as her mother-in-law. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her arm was bruised from somewhere and she simply sat on the ground and didn't move.

Banggeng came to his senses at this time, ran behind Jia Zhang, and burst into tears while covering his face which was hurt by the beating.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were already trembling with fear when they saw Qin Huairu beating her brother. When they saw their mother being pushed to the ground by their grandmother, the two sisters hugged each other in fear.

After hearing his brother Banggeng crying loudly, he immediately found an outlet to vent his emotions and started crying with his mouth wide open.

All of a sudden, the three children started crying together, filling the Jia family with tears.

An old lady who lived in the middle courtyard heard the noise and sighed softly, saying to herself: "It's a sin for several children to be born into such a family!"

She wanted to go up and say hello, but when she thought of Jia Zhang's ferocious look, she stopped and thought she should wait for Old Yi to come back.

It was time to get off work, and the neighbors who worked outside came back from get off work one after another. Sha Zhu didn't have to give special treatment to his leader today, so he also returned to the yard on time.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Yan Bugui fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard, and asked as usual: "Hey! Third uncle, are you watering the flowers again?"

Yan Bugui smiled and replied, "Yes, you are back from get off work? I didn't bring a lunch box today. Are you planning to have a big meal tonight? Do you need Uncle San to eat with you?"

"Hey, Third Uncle, I'll just fry some Chinese cabbage and some rain water for the two of us. If you don't mind, come over."

"Just Chinese cabbage and nothing else? Forget it, I'll just eat it at home."

At this moment, the crying of the three children of the Jia family in the middle courtyard was heard. Yan Bugui stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the sound.

Sha Zhu also put away his smile: "From the sound, it seems that the children of Qin Huairu's family are crying. Is there anything wrong?"

"What could possibly happen? I just saw Qin Huairu walking home, and her mother-in-law was also at home. Nothing serious can happen."

Sha Zhu didn't say anything else. He walked towards home while listening carefully to the sounds coming from the Jia family.

Banggeng was tired after crying for a while. After wiping his tears and snot on Jia Zhang's clothes, he saw Qin Huairu still sitting on the ground.

The mother and son are connected by heart. Even though he was slapped by his mother not long ago, he did not bear a grudge and went forward to help Qin Huairu up.

Qin Huairu was so hungry that she was seeing stars and her body was in pain. She didn't want to stand up at all.

During this period, without Sha Zhu's lunch box subsidy, the little food at home was mainly for the elderly and children, so she only ate some thin porridge every day and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Banggeng squatted down and put her arms on his shoulders, trying to help his mother up, but he forgot that he was still a child and did not have the strength to support Qin Huairu's weight.

It would have been fine if he couldn't get up, but he kept sliding down. Bang Geng cried out in a crying voice, "Mom, please get up quickly, are you injured and can't get up?"

Qin Huairu did not respond, but the two little girls started crying again when they saw her desperate look: "Mom, are you injured and going to die? Mom, I don't want you to die."

When Sha Zhu, who was outside the door, heard the words injured and dead, he thought to himself that something was not good and it seemed that something was going to happen to the Jia family.

He ran up and knocked on the door: "Is anyone there? Open the door quickly! Bang Geng? What happened in your house? Open the door quickly and let me come in to check."

Bang Geng heard someone coming to help, and before his grandmother could react, he ran to open the door and said, "Uncle Silly, my mother is injured and can't get up."

"Come and help me, wuwuwu..." Banggeng cried again. This time he was crying because he was worried that his mother was dead like his sisters said. He was extremely scared.

He thought secretly in his heart: He will never mention the watch again. It feels bad to be without his mother. He doesn't want this to happen.

When Sha Zhu came in and saw Qin Huairu slumped on the ground, he went forward and wanted to hold her and help her up. In a flash, Jia Zhang squeezed in between the two of them:

"Silly Zhu, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I don't need your help with my family's affairs. Get out of here!"

After saying that, Jia Zhang stepped forward and pushed Sha Zhu out of the house...
