Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

After Jia Dongxu distributed the money, the people in the middle court also dispersed. Jia Dongxu staggered back home. When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu, she asked, "Did you really return all the money?!"

Jia Dongxu glanced at Jia Zhang and said, "What if we don't return it? Are we going to watch our family being driven back to our hometown?!" Then he asked, "How is Banggeng?"

Jia Zhang replied: "You know how to ask Bang Geng now?! What were you doing before?! Bang Geng's crime this time is too serious. He will probably go to jail. As for how long, it depends on whether we actively return the stolen goods and compensate the victims."

Jia Dongxu sat down next to Jia Zhangshi, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it up and took two puffs, then asked, "How much do we want to refund?!"

Jia Zhang replied, "It will cost 40 yuan just to return the stolen money. As for compensation, we will have to talk to the old Qian family to find out."

Jia Dongxu took two deep puffs of his cigarette, threw the butt on the ground, and said, "I'll go to Lao Qian's house to ask. Don't wait for me for dinner." After that, Jia Dongxu went out.

Jia Zhang glanced at Jia Dongxu's back, sighed deeply, and said, "Don't cook dinner, I can't eat. I'll go and rest for a while. Call me when Dongxu comes back!" After that, Jia Zhang walked dejectedly to the inner room.

When Jia Dongxu walked out of the courtyard gate, the third aunt just came out of the kitchen carrying a basket full of steamed bread. The third aunt hurried into the main room, put the basket on the table and said, "Old Yan, I just saw Jia Dongxu go out."

Yan Bugui grabbed a steamed bread and said, "Jia Dongxu went out at this time, probably to discuss compensation with Lao Qian's family next door."

Yan Jiefang asked, "Dad! I heard that Bang Geng stole a lot of money from Lao Qian's family this time. Do you think they can let Bang Geng go?!"

"It's hard to say." Yan Bugui took a bite of the steamed bread, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and then said: "Yi Zhonghai is really unlucky. For the sake of the Jia family, he actually sacrificed himself."

Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, "There is no young master behind the scenes to dig up trouble. You want to see Yi Zhonghai make a fool of himself? No way." Then Yan Jiekuang thought of the photos he had taken and said, "Dad, who is the new person who bought the meal ticket at school?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "I don't know either. I heard that Director Du introduced me." Then he asked, "What's the matter?! Why did you ask this?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "I'm just curious, so I'm just asking. Is Director Du married?!"

Yan Bugui replied, "Yes, he is married. But his wife is not good-looking, just a replica of Jia Zhang. If his brother-in-law had not worked in our district, the Du man would have divorced his wife long ago. But I heard that Director Du's brother-in-law is not a good person either. I heard that he climbed up by stepping on his father-in-law."

The third aunt asked, "Old Yan, Liu Haizhong kept giving Yi Zhonghai eye drops in front of Director Wang today. What's going on?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "What else could it be?! Yi Zhonghai can't stand seeing us doing well. He wrote an anonymous letter to sue Liu Haizhong."

"Oh! This Yi Zhonghai is too wicked, isn't he?" The third aunt echoed, saying, "If Yi Zhonghai can sue Liu Haizhong this time, he can sue us next time. I don't want to live in fear every day."

After hearing what his mother said, Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, "I had originally planned to wait until the wind started to blow before dealing with Yi Zhonghai. But now it seems that I can't wait until the wind starts to blow. I must resolve this hidden danger first."

At nine o'clock in the evening, when Yan Bugui was about to close the gate of the courtyard, Jia Dongxu came back. Yan Bugui asked casually, "Dongxu, why are you back so late?!"

Jia Dongxu sighed and said, "Uncle, isn't it all because of that little bastard of mine?!"

Yan Bugui said, "Dongxu, when your Banggeng comes back, you must take good care of him. If he continues like this, bigger things will happen in the future."

Jia Dongxu replied: "Uncle, I understand! I will go back first."

Yan Bugui looked at Jia Dongxu's back, sighed and muttered, "They say every failure makes one wiser. The Jia family only remembers the food but not the beating. Sooner or later, their family will be ruined by Bang Geng."

"Dongxu, you're back?! What did the Qian family say?!" Qin Huairu stood up immediately after hearing the sound of the door being pushed open. After Jia Dongxu entered the room, Qin Huairu asked hurriedly.

Jia Dongxu replied, "We have offended the Qian family today. I tried my best to persuade them, and almost knelt down before them. Only then did they relent. They asked us to pay 30 yuan and 20 kilograms of food coupons before they would forgive Banggeng."

"Dongxu! What's wrong?!" Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongxu's voice and walked out from the inner room.

Jia Dongxu replied, "Mom, it's settled. Tomorrow morning, you take the 40 yuan to the police station. As for the compensation, I will give it to Lao Qian's family separately."

Jia Zhang sighed and said, "This is the only way now." Then she asked, "Dongxu, do you have any money here?!"

Jia Dongxu said: "I lost all my private money this afternoon. I still want to ask you for money!"

Jia Zhang stared at Jia Dongxu for a while and said, "I only have 60 yuan left. If I take it all out, our family will be broke!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Mom, other people don't know our family's situation. How could I not know? Now is a difficult time for our family. After we get through this, I will slowly give you the money."

Jia Zhang thought about it and compromised, "Okay!" Then she asked, "How much do you want?!"

Jia Dongxu replied: "Mom, just give me thirty yuan! The Qian family wants us to pay thirty yuan and twenty kilograms of food coupons. Give me the money first, and I will find a way to get the food coupons myself."

Jia Zhang said, "I can give you at most twenty, you can figure out the rest yourself." After that, Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "What time is it now? Why don't you take out the private money you have hidden?!"

Qin Huairu immediately showed her innocent side, put on a pitiful look, and cried, "Mom! Please don't wrongly accuse me! I really didn't hide any private money." Then Qin Huairu raised three fingers and swore, "Mom! I swear to heaven, if I hide any private money, I will be hit by a car and die when I go out!"

Jia Zhang sneered, "You want to die, but it's not that easy. Qin Huairu, let me tell you! Don't try this on me. If you don't take it out yourself, I'll find it and see how I'll deal with you!"

Qin Huairu said, "Mom, if I really have hidden some private money, please find it out and I will let you do whatever you want with it!"

Seeing Qin Huairu insisting that she didn't hide her private money, Jia Dongxu began to be confused and looked at Jia Zhang unconsciously. Jia Zhang sneered and said, "Since you don't cry until you see the coffin, don't blame me for being rude." After that, Jia Zhang walked quickly to the stove, moved the coal bricks piled in the corner, pulled two bricks off the wall, and put his hand into the hole. At this time, Qin Huairu was relieved. Originally, part of Qin Huairu's private money was indeed hidden here. But two days ago, when Qin Huairu was buying vegetables, he met his father who came to the city to find him. Because Qin Huairu's second brother was getting married, the family couldn't afford the betrothal gift. So Qin Huairu's father came to the city to find her to find a solution. What can Qin Huairu do? ! He had to take out the private money hidden in the hole in the wall next to the stove. Unexpectedly, the helpless act that day helped her a lot today.
