Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Looking at Bang Geng's almost crazy appearance, Qin Huairu felt so distressed as if thousands of steel needles were piercing her, and every beat caused waves of heart-wrenching pain.

Qin Huairu understood that their mother-son relationship would never be the same as before.

Banggeng was filled with hatred. He knew who he hated. He hated Qin Huairu. He hated that she gave birth to a monster, which brought shame to him and made him suffer rejection and ridicule.

Qin Huairu felt resentful, but she didn't know who to blame.

Blame yourself for not being careful and wanting to take shortcuts?

Blame Cui Dake for being so bold that he captured her heart that wanted to take shortcuts?

Blame Jia Zhang's negligence, which caused Bang Geng to commit an unforgivable mistake?

Or is it because you don't understand the blame game?

Or is it because of the hardships of life?

Qin Huairu's eyes were full of confusion, and all the muscles in her body seemed to have been drained of strength. She sat weakly in the chair.

"Mom, tell me, tell me how my grandma died?"

Bang Geng kept shaking Qin Huairu's shoulders and asking questions. He was eager to know the answer.

Qin Huairu came back to her senses and said softly, "Let go, your grandma is not dead."

"So where is my grandma?"

"Moved out."

"Where did you move to? Where is our house?"

"The shack next to the public toilet."

"What? Is that dry wood in the shack really my grandmother?"

Banggeng exclaimed, it turned out to be true, no wonder that dry wood called him a good grandson, it turned out to be his grandmother.

Bang Geng roared: "Mom, why, why?"

"I'm telling you why..."

Qin Huairu told how Jia Zhangshi had no restrictions on her diet and ignored the doctor's advice, which led to her condition worsening.

When the condition worsened, the doctor said that amputation was necessary. Jia Zhang didn't believe it and went to several hospitals and scolded many doctors. Jia Zhang was only willing to believe what she wanted to believe.

The foul odor emanating from Jia Zhang's worsening foot disease made the entire central courtyard uneasy and aroused strong dissatisfaction among the neighbors.

And then there’s the uncontrollable frequency of going to the toilet more than ten times a day.

Finally, Qin Huairu said to Bang Geng, "If you can't bear it, then go and bring your grandma back home. You two can live in the same room. Wouldn't that be filial piety? Then you can serve her in person, taking care of her excrement and urine every day."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, Banggeng fell silent.

When he asked about Jia Zhangshi, he was not saying how filial he was, but he wanted to use Jia Zhangshi to force Qin Huairu to buy meat for him.

Now he can't buy meat, and he has to take care of Jia Zhang who stinks all over. What a joke, he just wants to eat meat.

If Jia Zhang was in good health, it would be easy. At most she would just have to serve tea and water, which could be done with patience.

The problem is that Jia Zhang can't even walk on the road now, and she has to take out her excrement and urine every day. It's a dirty job, and anyone who is willing to do it can do it. But Bang Geng was not born to do this job.

Banggeng was discouraged and stopped talking. He just sat there quietly without saying a word.

Dinner was just as Qin Huairu said, steamed corn bread and fried cabbage, the kind that was enough to fill you up.

He felt like vomiting when he saw the stalks of cabbage. In the juvenile detention center, he ate either cabbage or radish every day, and of course, winter melon, which he hated so much.

I didn't eat any of the cabbage stalks. I just had a steamed corn bread and a bowl of porridge.

After the meal, Qin Huairu asked Banggeng to take a steamed bun and a bowl of hot water to deliver the meal to Jia Zhangshi. As a result, the boy said that he would not starve to death if he skipped a meal, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

Sure enough, all the men in the Jia family are of the same character, they are very "filial".

Qin Huairu didn't say anything. After cleaning up the dishes, she took Xiaodang and Huaihua back to her room to rest.

Banggeng was lying on the bed, feeling extremely hungry. He tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to go out to find something to eat, but he didn't know who to turn to because he had no friends.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to go find Sha Zhu.

If anyone could give him something to eat, maybe Shazhu would do it.

In his memory, Sha Zhu had always been very good to him and would think of him whenever he had something delicious.

But later on, Sha Zhu seemed to have changed and was not so enthusiastic about him. He couldn't figure out why at the time. Now he knows, it must be because his mother is going to marry Cui Dake, Sha Zhu is jealous and in a bad mood.

Cui Dake has gone in, and Sha Zhu's chance has come again. It should be okay to go find Sha Zhu for some food now, right?

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so Bang Geng went out.

"Boom boom boom.."

Banggeng knocked on Shazhu's door.

"Qin Huairu, are you done yet?"

Sha Zhu had just finished drinking and lay down when he heard a knock on the door. He thought it was Qin Huairu again.

"Silly, it's me."

Banggeng is currently in the voice change period, so Shazhu naturally couldn't tell who it was. The person who called him Shazhu must be an acquaintance, so he asked, "Tell me who you are and what's the matter."

"Silly Zhu, you'll know who I am once you open the door."

Banggeng wants to give Shazhu a surprise.

"If you don't say anything, get out of here and disturb Mr. Zhu's sleep."

Shazhu is also born in the year of the donkey and has a very stubborn temper.

"Silly, I'm a good guy."

"Awesome?"

"Yes, I am a stick man."

"Okay, wait, I'll open the door for you."

Banggeng was overjoyed. See, I still have face in front of Shazhu.

With a creak, the door opened.

Banggeng did not consider himself an outsider. He thought that Shazhu was still the same Shazhu who came out to open the door when he heard the name of the young master. It seemed that there would be delicious food today. He knew that Shazhu's family was never short of things. Although they did not have good things, they definitely had peanuts. This thing tasted much better than steamed corn bread. It would be even better if it could be mixed with some wine. He could already smell the wine.

Before Banggeng could even step in, he was slapped out.

Sha Zhu angrily shouted, "You little bastard, you dare call me Sha Zhu? If you continue to disrespect me, I will break my teeth for you. Get out of here!"

Then there was the sound of a door closing.

This slap from Shazhu made Banggeng confused. Who am I? Where am I going?

Is the script wrong?

How dare Sha Zhu hit him?

why?

Is he fucking unattractive?

Sha Zhu's hand was quite strong and it hurt so much that he got slapped on the face.

Banggeng was angry but dared not speak. If Shazhu dared to slap him once, then the second and third slaps would be no problem for him as well.

"Bah, you idiot, just wait for me."

Bang Geng was so indignant that he only dared to curse in a low voice and then went home unwillingly.
