Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

After thinking for a moment, in order to cater to her family's statement, Qin Huairu suppressed her complaints and also claimed that Banggeng had taken an egg from her home and tried to hatch it.

The wise third daughter-in-law carefully observed the broken eggshell on the ground and was almost certain that it was a new egg just laid by the hen.

Although there were clear signs that Bang Geng was the culprit, the third daughter-in-law did not discuss the issue further.

After all, this matter did not directly affect his own interests, so there was no need to cause trouble for the Jia family.

"When Lin Xiangdong comes back, ask him to compensate us with an egg," Jia suggested.

Qin Huairu didn't expect that her mother-in-law would be so shameless.

If I am not mistaken, it must be the mother-in-law who instigated Stick to steal the eggs.

Although Gunzi was still young, it was obviously wrong for him to do this; it was understandable that he could not face his mistake honestly, but it was a bit too much to use this as an excuse to force Lin Xiangdong to compensate for the eggs.

Qin Huairu's brows were furrowed as she struggled internally.

At this moment, the mother-in-law gave Qin Huairu a suggestive look.

At the signal from Old Lady Jia, Qin Huairu sighed softly and fell silent.

"Old lady, I think we should just forget about this matter." The enthusiastic aunt felt sorry for her.

As neighbors for many years, the old lady clearly understood the character of Mrs. Jia. If her guess was correct, it was not true that Bangzi was hatching eggs; the real thing was probably that he was stealing the eggs, and it was possible that the old lady was covering for him.

"Mom, after all, Dongzi has helped us before, so let's just forget about this matter." Qin Huairu said to Mrs. Jia.

But she replied, "No, not only did we lose eggs, but our grandson's hand was almost pecked by the hen."

Lin Xiangdong went to the countryside to show a movie that day and would return with some local products. In addition, the old lady was drooling over the hen from Lin Xiangdong's house.

Even though the facts clearly pointed out that Bangzi was stealing the eggs, to this old lady who could turn unreasonableness into three reasons, Bangzi's behavior was just mischief and the broken eggs were theirs.

To be honest, the old lady just thought that Lin Xiangdong was a target to be bullied.

Now, all Mrs. Jia is thinking about is finding an opportunity to gain some benefits.

Her eyes revealed a gleam of greed and malice.

After the movie in the countryside ended, it was already night, but Lin Xiangdong planned to rush back home at night this time.

Dinner was eaten in the countryside, a bowl of egg fried rice and a serving of braised fish.

When he left, he loaded his bicycle with many local specialties.

At the same time, two more antiques appeared in the small space he carried with him.

There is a street lamp in the village, but outside the village it is completely dark.

He mounted a flashlight on his bicycle to illuminate the road ahead.

This flashlight is also an asset of the unit and is used by him when he goes out to show movies.

In order to ride on better roads and stay close to the capital, Lin Xiangdong planned to return at night.

It took about a quarter of an hour to reach the avenue, and the road became smoother.

Yi Zhonghai’s point of view: small loss, big gain

When I returned the video camera to the company, it was already around early morning.

After sharing some country specialties with the guards, Lin Xiangdong returned to his own courtyard.

At this time, he was the only one who had not gone to bed.

The door was not closed tightly and would open if pushed gently, but there was some noise, so when Lin Xiangdong returned home, his third uncle stood by the window to observe the situation.

After returning home, he boiled hot water to soak his feet and fell asleep quickly.

The whole night passed peacefully, and in the early morning, when he wanted to sleep a little longer, someone came to his door.

"Lin Xiangdong, get out here!" Old Lady Jia shouted from outside.

He frowned, wondering why the old lady was causing trouble so early, but it looked like it definitely wasn't good news.

I silently sighed in my heart what bad luck I had.

I reluctantly got up, opened the door and saw the old woman with a round body.

"Aunt Zhang, what can I do for you?" Although she was not happy, she still asked Lin Xiangdong.

"Compensate for my eggs. Also, my grandson's hand was scratched by your hen. How do you think I should compensate him?" Mrs. Jia was so confident.

"?" Lin Xiangdong was full of doubts. Did he owe the Jia family eggs?

Speaking of the fact that Bang Geng was pecked by his old hen, it was quite an interesting incident.

You know, the old hen is locked in a cage, how can it possibly peck the stem of the cob?

Bang Geng is still young and may not dare to steal a whole chicken, but it is quite possible for him to steal an egg.

Seeing Lin Xiangdong's puzzled look, Jia Zhang told him the whole story rather unhappily.

According to Jia Zhang, it was Banggeng who took an egg from the house and planned to use the old hen from Lin Xiangdong's house to hatch chicks. Unexpectedly, he was pecked by the hen and the egg was broken.

At this time, the three uncles, the aunt, Yan Jiecheng, Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai and others also rushed over.

"Mom, let's just forget it. It's just an egg and the stick is safe." Qin Huairu walked forward and tried to comfort Jia Zhang.

"Whatever you say, it doesn't matter! Today, Lin Xiangdong must compensate us for an egg and fifty cents for medical expenses." Jia Zhang crossed her arms over her chest.

The more ferocious Jia Zhang's performance was, the easier it was for people to believe that Banggeng did not steal the eggs.

"Lin Xiangdong, it's just an egg and fifty cents, you should be more generous." Sha Zhu suggested to Lin Xiangdong.

"Dongzi, it's lucky to suffer some losses." Yi Zhonghai seconded.

Immediately afterwards, three uncles and an aunt took turns to advise Lin Xiangdong to be more generous.

An egg only cost five cents, which was not too expensive, but a quota was required.

Eggs are a very popular commodity, and sometimes just having money or a quota is not enough to guarantee that you can buy them.

Whether it is a vegetable market, a material supply agency or even a pigeon market, the most sought-after commodity is eggs.

Many people get up early in the morning to queue up to buy eggs but often return disappointed.

If you have a hen that lays eggs, you will be very envied.

Maybe other people believed Jia Zhang's one-sided story, but Lin Xiangdong did not believe a word of it.

According to Lin Xiangdong's guess, it was most likely Banggeng who had set his sights on stealing their eggs.

But there is no hard evidence at this moment.

If you tell him directly that it was Banggeng who stole the eggs, he will definitely deny it, and people like Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu will definitely protect him.

"An egg and fifty cents?"

"No problem. I think this fifty cents is too little. Since your hen pecked Banggeng's hand, I will pay one dollar as compensation."

This made Lin Xiangdong's response particularly shocking.

After he finished speaking, everyone at the scene opened their eyes wide.

Immediately afterwards, many people looked at Lin Xiangdong with strange eyes.

Lin Xiangdong calmly took out five IOUs.

"Jia Dongxu borrowed 28.70 yuan from me last year. An egg is worth 5 cents, so let's say it's 70 yuan. I also gave Banggeng one yuan for his medical expenses, so the total is 170 yuan."

"In this case, your Jia family only needs to return the twenty-seven yuan."

In a flash, Lin Xiangdong had handed the IOU to Qin Huairu.

Since the one who couldn't read was Jia Zhang, at least Qin Huairu could read and understand.

"Our Dongxu would owe you money? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jia Zhang screamed.

As soon as she got the IOU, Qin Huairu began to observe it carefully.

These IOUs were indeed signed by Jia Dongxu himself with his name and fingerprints.

"Jia Dongxu actually borrowed so much money from Xiangdong?"

"This amount, twenty-eight dollars and seventy cents, is more than my entire month's salary."

"Dongzi's father died heroically, and the ** provided a considerable amount of pension; his mother worked in a textile factory for many years, and she must have accumulated a certain amount of savings. But judging from Dongzi's current tight living conditions, he must have frequently lent money to others."

“When it comes to the human touch and helping hands in the courtyard, Xiangdong is second to none.”

Although in his heart Sha Zhu might think that Lin Xiangdong was too naive, he did not hesitate to praise him.

Even Yi Zhonghai took the loan document from Qin Huairu and looked at it, but he could not find any forgery in it.

"Why does my Dongxu owe you so much money?" Qin Huairu looked at Lin Xiangdong and asked.

"He said in the Eighth District that he left his money at home, so he asked me to borrow money. If I refused to help, he might get beaten and have his legs broken..." Lin Xiangdong narrated the story seriously, and he almost believed it himself.

"You are lying. My Dongxu is definitely not that kind of person. Even though he is no longer alive, you still want to slander his innocence. You are really crazy!"

"Oh my God! Dongxu, my child, why did you leave me? Now someone is slandering your reputation!"

Jia Zhang sat down on the ground, hitting her thighs with her hands.

"Lin Xiangdong, you have to take responsibility for what you say. You can't talk nonsense!" At this moment, Sha Zhu stood up and spoke righteously.

"If you don't believe it, then just regard it as my groundless slander. Well, I apologize to you all here, and then I will burn more paper money for Jia Dongxu as a sign of respect." Lin Xiangdong said lightly.

After hearing Lin Xiangdong's explanation, people had different opinions. Some believed it without a doubt, while others were skeptical.

"You insulted my child's reputation." Jia Zhang stared at Lin Xiangdong with vicious eyes.

"The debt should be repaid, but Jia Dongxu, who owes me twenty-eight yuan and seven yuan, has been slow to resolve the matter. I originally didn't want to ask for additional interest, but now I have decided to seriously calculate it with you." Lin Xiangdong's face turned cold.

"I think we need to make a fair comment here: Dongzi's behavior is quite generous." The third uncle expressed his opinion.

"Throughout history, the principle of repaying debts has always been self-evident."

"Look at how difficult the Jia family's situation is now!"

"But poverty is not a valid reason for not paying off debts. This is an illogical argument."

While the crowd around was talking, Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly jumped up, grabbed the IOU from Yi Zhonghai's hand, and tore it to pieces.
