I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Uncle Yi Zhonghai had just taken a bite of the steamed bun when he heard a noise outside the door. He didn't care! As long as the two sides didn't fight, no one would disturb him from having dinner.

But before he had finished eating the steamed bun in his hand, a neighbor from the courtyard came to call him, saying that a neighbor from the outer courtyard asked the courtyard manager to come out and judge between them and the Jia family.

Yi Zhonghai cursed in his heart, damn it! I can't even have a peaceful dinner at home. But as the manager of the compound, he had to go, so he could only put down his chopsticks, stand up, leave the main room and go to the yard.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were quarreling at the gate of Jia's house were residents of Compound No. 92. He knew them too! The old man in charge of that compound had a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai.

"Isn't this Chen's sister-in-law? What happened? Why are you so angry?" Yi Zhonghai came over with his hands behind his back and asked with a smile.

"Master Yi, you've come at the right time! You are the manager of this courtyard, please come and give us your judgment." The old lady saw Yi Zhonghai coming and hurriedly pulled him aside.

It turned out that her grandson took out a dime from his pocket to buy snacks on his way home from school today, but was seen by Jia Geng from the next class.

Jia Geng went up to him and asked for it, but his grandson refused. Jia Geng went up to him and punched him, and then tried to pick his pocket. During the struggle, Jia Geng tore a big hole in his grandson's cotton blanket.

"Master Yi, look at my child's face? And look at how the pocket of his clothes is torn." The young woman pushed her son out and pointed at his face and the torn pocket of his clothes to show everyone.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the child's cheeks were a little red and swollen. The pocket of the cotton blanket was torn, revealing the cotton wool inside.

"Where's Bang Geng? Let him come out and explain the matter clearly. Is he being wronged?"

Yi Zhonghai entered the Jia family. He looked around and saw that Bang Geng was the only person there. He then asked Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhang went to push the door of the inner room, but unexpectedly, the door was locked from the inside with a stick.

"Bang Geng, come out and confront them. What are you doing to wrongly accuse my grandson?" Jia Zhang knocked on the door. She only believed that whoever had the loudest voice was right.

But there was no sound in the inner room! If his family hadn't seen him hiding in the inner room, they would have thought that there was no one in the room.

"Everyone saw it, right? He didn't even dare to come out. But I have a lot of witnesses!" the young woman said to her neighbors.

"It's my child who was frightened by you! I don't care. You frightened my child, so you must be responsible!"

Jia Zhang roared, and she started to act like a bully again. No one can extort money from the Jia family!

"Master Yi, what do you say? If you want a witness, I can find him right away." The young woman put pressure on Yi Zhonghai.

As long as it involves the Jia family, Yi Zhonghai has a headache. The main reason is that this person is not only unreasonable, but she can also find a set of twisted reasons.

If this was a conflict in this courtyard, he could still make a big deal out of a small matter. But now it involves the outer courtyard, and he also knows that the Chen family is not easy to mess with! They will not give him a chance to smooth things over.

Yi Zhonghai didn't look for Jia Zhang anymore! He turned around and asked Qin Huairu. "Xiao Qin, I think what they said is true. What do you think we should do about this? I think you should go up and apologize and pay some money. If you continue to make trouble, it will be bad for the reputation of the compound."

"Uncle, you know how poor my family is now. I earn $27.50 a month to support a large family. There are still a few days before the salary is paid, and I have borrowed money from the workshop several times."

Qin Huairu started to play the victim with tears in her eyes! She walked up to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, bowed to them first, and then began to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, both of you! It's my fault for not being strict with my child. I will teach my child a lesson later. So, take off your child's clothes and I will mend them for him."

"That's it? You don't want to compensate us? Fine! We don't want this compensation either. Let me tell you, my child has three uncles, all of whom are in middle school and high school. I can't guarantee that something will happen to your child on the way home from school. Mom, let's go!"

The young woman threatened and left with the child. Jia Zhang in the room felt frightened after hearing this. She sat down on the ground and started to cry.

"I can't live like this! Bang Geng is my only child. If anything happens to him, I won't live anymore! Lao Jia! Come and take us away. Otherwise, we will be bullied to death by others!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward to stop them and apologized with a smile. . "No, this will only make things worse. I will go and discuss it with them, and I will definitely give you an explanation today."

"Okay! This time we'll do it for the sake of Master Yi. Tell this family that without five dollars in compensation, there's no room for negotiation." The young woman stopped and demanded compensation from Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai called Qin Huairu out and told her the other party's compensation request. Qin Huairu wiped her tears and looked at Sha Zhu who was standing in front of her door.

Sha Zhu had been standing there for a long time! But there were two women on the other side, and he was a hero with no place to use his skills. It was impossible for him to argue with a woman! Seeing Sister Qin looking at him with tears in her eyes, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Sister Qin is an orphan and a widow, and she has to support this whole family. It's really not easy! I don't have any burden now, so I'll lend a hand if I can.

"I'll help pay the five yuan! Sister Qin's family is an orphan and a widow, and it's really difficult. Bang Geng's father died early and there was no one to teach him. Please bear with me."

Sha Zhu took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the outer courtyard, and did not forget to apologize to the Jia family.

"I'm not talking about you. Your child should also be disciplined. He has learned highway robbery at such a young age! Well, since you have given the compensation, we will not bother to discipline him." The young woman took the money and did not forget to lecture Qin Huairu.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the outer courtyard left with their children, the neighbors saw that there was no more fun, so they dispersed and went home for dinner.

"Thank you so much for today, Sha Zhu. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how today would have ended." Qin Huairu pulled Sha Zhu aside and thanked him sincerely.

"Hey! They are all small things. Like when I was a kid, didn't I fight with others every day? But no one brought parents to ask for compensation. Go back and talk to Banggeng. This kid is quite smart." Shazhu waved his hand and said carelessly.

Seeing that everything was fine, he returned to his main room and continued to enjoy his bulk liquor. However, Yu Shui stayed at the table and did not show his face at all.

After all this trouble, the food on the table had already gone cold, so Qin Huairu went to heat it up and served it on the table. There was still no movement in the inner room, so Jia Zhang went to knock on the door again.

"Bang Geng, everyone is gone, come out and eat."

Seeing that there was still no movement, Jia Zhang said again: "Your mother and I don't blame you! This is all because of that family making a fuss. They are obviously here to extort money! Come out and eat quickly, the food is almost eaten by those two losers."

There was a sound of the door to the inner room, and Bang Geng came out as if nothing had happened. He sat down at the table as if nothing had happened, as if the noise just now had nothing to do with him.

"Hurry up and eat." Qin Huairu only said this lightly.

Huaihua was completely speechless! Doting on the child like this? Not even a harsh word. Banggeng will get worse in the future! Anyway, someone at home will cover for him.

At the dinner table, Qin Huairu had just picked up an egg with chopsticks for Xiaodang, which immediately attracted Banggeng's cold stare.

Meow! You coward! You are a coward who only dares to bully others at home. If you had the guts, you should have not locked the door and hid in the inner room!

Huaihua threw down the steamed bread in her hand and got down from the table. She felt sick when she saw Banggeng's expression, and she couldn't eat a single bite of dinner.

"What's wrong with you? You're all a bother." Qin Huairu scolded her when she saw that she didn't even eat and wanted to go out after opening the door.

"No appetite!" After saying these three words, Huaihua walked out of the room without looking back.

She stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard. Looking around, she realized that she had nowhere to go. A feeling of helplessness and desperation suddenly came over her.

What is this? Living under someone else's roof! Do I have to depend on others to survive?

Before she knew it, it was completely dark. She sighed deeply and turned back to the courtyard.

There is no way out. Everything is restricted by age. I have to endure the hard time in this family!
