Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

"Okay, here's the fifty dollars. Keep it."

Seeing that Jia Zhang was quite anxious, the shopkeeper actually thought that Jia Zhang was waiting for the life-saving money, so without saying a word, he asked the waiter to take out fifty yuan and gave it to Jia Zhang.

"Thank you, shopkeeper."

Jia Zhang was rarely polite. She said thank you, took the fifty yuan, and hurried out.

I came across a stall selling sesame cakes on the way. I bought one and ate it while walking towards the juvenile detention center.

When they reached the door of the juvenile detention center, Jia Zhang paused, feeling a little hesitant and conflicted.

"What are you doing?

Can you come in or not? "

The person guarding the gate had already opened the door, but when he saw Jia Zhang just standing there with one foot raised and showing no intention of going in, he hurriedly called out.

"No, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to bring something."

Jia Zhang came to her senses, took a step back and explained.

"There's something wrong!"

When the man saw that Jia Zhang was leaving as soon as she said so, he said something rudely.

His clothes were disheveled and his hair was uncombed. He looked like someone who had just fled.

So that person's attitude towards Jia Zhang was not very good.

Under normal circumstances, if she heard someone scolding her like this, Jia Zhang would have rushed forward without caring about anything. But today, she had something on her mind, so she pretended not to hear anything.

Holding the pancake, Jia Zhang found a deserted place and ate it with big mouthfuls while thinking about things.

Originally, she planned to give all the dozens of dollars to Banggeng, but then she thought that if she gave all the money to Banggeng, she would be left with nothing.

Besides, this time she directly pried open Qin Huairu's box, so they must have discovered it.

She will definitely be more cautious with herself in the future. She can't give all the money to Banggeng.

Maybe this money will be her retirement fund in the future.

Qin Huairu is quite right in saying that as long as Banggeng behaves himself and reforms himself in the juvenile detention center, he will definitely have a job.

So she just needs to give her some hint.

After making the decision, Jia Zhang took another look at the sesame cake in her hand. She originally wanted to leave a small half for Bang Geng, but thinking of Bang Geng's extremely disgusted look last time, Jia Zhang simply stuffed the whole thing into her mouth.

He put most of the money into his innermost pocket and only put two dollars in his outer pocket.

Two dollars is not a small amount and can buy a lot of things.

After packing up everything, Jia Zhang walked towards the gate again.

"why is it you again?

Did you forget anything this time?!"

The man guarding the gate frowned when he saw that it was Jia Zhang again and asked a question very impolitely.

"No, please open the door for me, big brother. Thank you."

Jia Zhang's attitude was a little humble, but now that she needed help, she naturally had to be more sincere.

"Then please register here again and go in."

The man did not continue to embarrass Jia Zhang, but took out the registration book and asked Jia Zhang to write it again.

"Grandma, did you bring the money?"

When Banggeng heard that it was his grandmother who came to visit him, he immediately came out with an excited look on his face.

After seeing Jia Zhang's appearance, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Brought it."

"Give it to me quickly."

Bang Gengxi's eyes could no longer see, and his mind once again recalled how awesome he would be after owning the huge sum of one hundred dollars.

"Gone?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang only gave him two yuan, Bang Geng was a little stunned. Wasn’t it agreed to be one hundred yuan?

How come there are only two dollars?

"I can only get two dollars, Banggeng, don't worry, I will think of a way to get the hundred dollars together."

Jia Zhang spoke without blinking an eye and lied without hesitation.

"Then I'm going back."

When Bang Geng heard this, a trace of disgust flashed across his face.

Before he came out just now, he made a big promise, saying that he would definitely be able to take back a hundred dollars.

Now it’s okay, it’s only two dollars, isn’t this just a joke? !

"Hey, great terrier..."

When Jia Zhang saw Banggeng turn around without hesitation, she hurriedly called out something, but all she got in response was Banggeng's cold and ruthless back.

Biting her lip, Jia Zhang felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed.

One hundred dollars, where can she get so much money? !

It’s all Qin Huairu’s fault. I thought her dowry would be worth a lot of money, but it turned out to be only a few dozen yuan.

Otherwise, now that she has given the money to Banggeng, maybe the extra money can be used to rescue Banggeng.

......

Siheyuan.

Qin Huairu woke up early in the morning and did not see Jia Zhangshi in the room. She reached out and touched the quilt. It was cold, as if she had been out for a long time.

Suddenly, I had a bad feeling in my heart.

He quickly put on his shoes and ran to check.

When she saw her dowry box being opened and the things inside were turned upside down, she almost couldn't breathe.

Qin Huairu hurriedly rummaged through the bottom of the box and saw that her dowry was gone. She screamed:

"what......"

Jia Dongxu, who was sleeping soundly, was startled when he heard this voice. He opened his eyes and asked quickly:

"what happened?"

"Dongxu, our mother stole my dowry!"

The hoarse voice, with a hint of despair, instantly made Jia Dongxu lose all sleepiness.

He immediately got up from the bed and took a look, and saw that the box that Qin Huairu had treasured so much before had been opened, and the inside was in a mess.

"Did our mother do this?"

"Who else could it be if not her?

All of that was my dowry, things that my parents had prepared for me using the money they had saved up throughout their lives.

Now it’s all gone…”

Qin Huairu cried and shouted, then she thought of something, immediately stood up and ran towards the yard.

When he saw everyone in the courtyard, he pulled everyone aside and asked:

"Have you seen my mother-in-law?"

Everyone shook their heads, looking at Qin Huairu's collapsed appearance, somewhat confused.

When the aunt heard the noise, she came out immediately. Seeing Qin Huairu in tears, she was really frightened and asked hurriedly:

"Huai Ru, what's wrong with you?

What do you want to do with your mother-in-law?"

"Auntie, my dowry is gone!!!"

Qin Huairu squeezed out these words with difficulty. When she thought that all of this was done by Jia Zhang, a trace of hatred appeared in her eyes:

"It was my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law stole all my dowry while we were sleeping!!!"

"what?"

The old lady stood there in shock, and immediately cried out "Ah!"

This was the first time she heard of a mother-in-law stealing her daughter-in-law's dowry.

"Where's your mother-in-law?"

"I don't know either. She never came back."

Qin Huairu shook her head, thinking of the things she had hidden away in the bottom of her box, she felt so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe:

"Auntie, those are things my parents have saved for most of their lives.

What should I do now? "

"Let's go find your mother-in-law first!"

Just as the aunt finished her words, a voice came from the side:

"In this case, call the police..."
