Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

Qin Huairu returned home and saw her three children leaning against the window, looking out through the cracks.

You know what they are talking about, it was the story of the three of them stealing a chicken in the afternoon and then roasting it into a beggar's chicken.

Qin Huairu saw the three children's nervous faces, and considering the smell on them, she became even more certain that the chicken was stolen by Banggeng and his men.

Qin Huairu pulled the stick over and asked seriously.

"Bang Geng, tell mom, did you steal the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"

Bang Geng shook his head and said.

"I didn't steal it. I caught the chicken in the front yard. It must have been a pheasant."

Qin Huairu looked at her precious son with a look of disappointment.

"Bang Geng, Xu Damao is now looking for the person who stole his chicken. When you guys get out later, you must insist that you didn't steal the chicken, okay?"

Banggeng is almost ten years old, so he naturally knows what the consequences will be if he admits it.

So he nodded in agreement.

Then Qin Huairu looked at the younger Xiaodang.

Xiaodang was over five years old. Seeing her mother so serious, she nodded and said she understood.

"Little Sophora japonica, when someone asks you a question later, just say you don't know, okay?"

Little Huaihua is over three years old and doesn’t understand much yet, but since it was her mother who said it, it must be right.

"Mom, do you know or not?"

Little Sophora japonica asked timidly.

The stick beside her yelled at her.

"Stupid, just say you don't know, get it!"

Although Xiao Huaihua still didn't understand, she didn't know whether she should say she didn't know or she knew.

But in order not to make her mother and the others angry, she had to nod.

Qin Huairu quickly changed coats for the three children. Their original clothes had a strong smell of oil smoke.

After doing all this, Qin Huairu took the three children, who had changed into new clothes, out.

Seeing the three children changed into new clothes, the neighbors were curious and started asking questions.

"If the child's clothes are dirty, just change them."

Qin Huairu explained awkwardly, but the neighbors naturally didn't believe this flimsy reason.

It’s not possible to change children’s clothes so late at night. If you want to change them, do it in the morning.

There is a ghost. There must be a ghost here.

"Three gentlemen, I have brought the child out. If you have any questions, just ask."

Qin Huairu walked to the eldest uncle. Although she was talking to the three uncles, it seemed more like she was talking to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, meaning that he understood.

Looking at the three children lined up in a row, Yi Zhonghai walked up to Bang Geng and asked.

"Bang Geng, Uncle Damao's chicken is missing. Did you take it?"

Bangge shook his head.

"No, I didn't see it. I was playing outside with my two sisters in the afternoon."

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and was very satisfied with Banggeng's answer.

Then he asked Xiaodang who was standing beside him.

"Xiaodang, did you go out to play with Brother Banggeng this afternoon?"

Xiaodang opened his eyes wide and nodded vigorously.

Yi Zhonghai also nodded with satisfaction.

As for Xiao Huaihua, there is no need to ask any questions anymore.

Yi Zhonghai stood up straight and said to Xu Damao.

"Xu Damao, you're tired of hearing this. Your chicken wasn't taken by Bang Geng and the others. It's just a chicken anyway, so just forget it!"

Xu Damao couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai's nonchalant attitude.

"Uncle, you want to take sides again, right? You should ask who will admit it. Get out of the way."

Xu Damao pushed Yi Zhonghai away and walked straight to Bang Geng.

Just as he was about to ask, Jia Zhang rushed in front of Xu Damao and blocked the stick behind her.

"Xu Damao, what do you want to do? I've already said that our Bang Geng didn't steal anything from your house. Do you want to force a good woman into prostitution... Bah, you want to...!"

"Confession under torture!"

Jia Zhang was silent for a long time and couldn't think of what to say next. The third uncle beside her couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out an idiom.

"Yes, I was tortured into confessing. Believe it or not, I will report you to the police and have you arrested."

Jia Zhang is fearless.

Xu Damao was happy.

"Call the police. Just now I said I would call the police, but the second and third uncles stopped me and told me to give them an explanation. You should also report to the police now."

"Okay, go ahead, let's see who will be in trouble when the police come."

After hearing what Xu Damao said, Jia Zhang was suddenly speechless.

She also knew that the chicken might have been stolen by Banggeng and his gang. If the police came, Banggeng would be finished.

Yi Zhonghai hurried out at this time and pulled the two apart.

"Jia Zhang, if Xu Damao wants to ask, just let them. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. They only didn't take the stick, so why are they afraid of being asked?"

At this time, Xu Damao grabbed the clothes on Banggeng's shoulders.

"Tell me, kid, why did you steal soy sauce from the factory this afternoon? Did you use it to dip the chicken in it?"

Bang Geng's face changed, but he still remained stubborn.

"No, I didn't see any chickens."

Qin Jingru also came over at this time.

"Da Mao, maybe it really wasn't taken by Bang Geng. Forget it, it's just a chicken. We are all relatives."

Bang Geng refused to admit it and there was nothing he could do. He suggested reporting it to the police, but not only would the old men disagree, he believed that no one in the hospital would agree either.

It seems like we have to just let this matter go.

Xu Damao sighed and was planning to let the matter go. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, He Yuzhu, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.

"Shamao, come here!"

When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu, he didn't want to pay attention to him, but when he saw him shaking his sandbag-sized fist, he could only walk over reluctantly.

"Well, from the looks of you, you can't get this chicken back, so how about you sell me the lost chicken?"

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu as if he was a fool.

"Silly Zhu, what did you say? You want to buy a chicken?"

He Yuzhu nodded and took out two dollars and handed them to Xu Damao.

This is the money to buy the chicken.

When Xu Damao saw the money handed over, he took the money and put it in his bag without caring whether this Sha Zhu was really stupid or not.

It's better than nothing.

After receiving the money, Xu Damao happily stood beside Qin Jingru to see what Sha Zhu would do next.

He Yuzhu walked over to the Jia family at this time, scaring them so much that they subconsciously shrank their necks.

If this matter was caused by this idiot Zhu, it would not be easy to deal with it.

Qin Huairu was ready to spend a lot of money, but she definitely couldn't pay for it herself.

He Yuzhu walked up to Qin Huairu and smiled coldly.

To the Jia family, his smile was like the call of a demon from hell.

"Widow Qin, do you want Bang Geng to confess, or should I go and ask him to confess in person?"

This matter gives Qin Huairu an opportunity to choose. Different choices will lead to different results.

Qin Huairu thought about it.

Finally she decided to... take a gamble!

"I believe my terrier didn't steal anything."

Qin Huairu's solemn words have already made her position clear.

It is understandable that a mother believes in her child, and no one can say anything about it.

He Yuzhu nodded, understanding Widow Qin's choice.

He Yuzhu walked towards Banggeng, scaring him so much that his face turned pale.

The trauma of being beaten by He Yuzhu a few years ago is still deeply engraved in his heart.

"Bang Geng, what did you do this afternoon?"

He Yuzhu didn't ask about the chicken.

Bang Geng looked at He Yuzhu in horror and stammered.

"I...I was taking my sisters...sisters out to play, and I didn't see any chickens!"

He Yuzhu nodded and walked to Xiaodang again.

"Xiaodang, is the open space outside the steel mill fun, especially those cement pipes? Are they fun?"

"Fun!"

Xiaochen blurted out unconsciously, but immediately covered his mouth.

Qin Huairu was sweating on her back at this time. She knew that she could no longer hide the fact that she had stolen the chicken.

Just as she was about to go up to stop him, He Yuzhu had already picked up Xiao Huaihua.

"Huaihua, does the chicken my brother roasted this afternoon taste good with vinegar?"

"It's delicious, but the dip is not vinegar, it's soy sauce. My brother stole the soy sauce from the factory."

"My brother also said that next time he would steal the other chicken and roast it for dinner."

Speaking of eating chicken, Xiao Huaihua even slurped his saliva.

After hearing what Xiao Huaihua said, Banggeng was so scared that his whole body was trembling. He knew that his day was over.

He Yuzhu put down the small locust flower and said to the Jia family.

"I believe everyone knows now that the Jia family's idiot is a chicken thief. Just now, someone swore that his son was definitely not a chicken thief."

Qin Huairu immediately grabbed He Yuzhu's hand and said while crying.

"Zhu Zi, Bang Geng and the others are still young and don't understand anything. Please let them go!"

Jia Zhang also shouted from the side.

"Xu Damao's family lost a chicken, and they said they would not pursue the matter. Why are you the first to come forward? It's none of your business."

He Yuzhu turned to look at Jia Zhangshi and slapped her in the face.

"You old man, you have donkey hair in your ears. I just said that I spent two dollars to buy this chicken. Now you don't know that it was Xu Damao who lost the chicken, but I lost it."

After saying that, he raised his hand and slapped her again, scaring Jia Zhang so much that she quickly shrank behind Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and yelled.

"Zhu Zi, why are you still so rude and unreasonable? You hit people at every turn. My sister-in-law is your elder. Do you think you are still the factory director? You can hit anyone you want."

He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai jumped out again, so he said to him.

"Yi Zhonghai, what's wrong? Seeing me get jerk off, you think you're good enough again, right? You don't even want this remaining house, right?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the word "house", his scalp went numb.

This idiot Zhu is going to ruin his house again. This house is his only property.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly shook his head and dared not speak anymore.

He Yuzhu turned and said to Qin Huairu.

"I just gave you the opportunity to choose, but you didn't cherish it. So let's deal with this matter as we wish, publicly or privately."

Qin Huairu knew that she couldn't resist, and she didn't plan to argue or resist. The outcome would be the same, so why struggle.

"What is a private settlement and what is a public settlement?"

Qin Huairu asked resignedly.

"Privately? It's simple. If you steal something, you have to pay for it. According to the rules, you just need to pay ten times the price of the stolen item."

"As for whether it is public, everyone knows it. Just report it to the police, and when the government comes, they will arrest those who should be arrested and detain those who should be imprisoned."

"As for those who shield criminals, they will pay the price. This is called the crime of shielding criminals."

He Yuzhu also gave them some basic knowledge about criminal law, which scared everyone in the hospital.

Especially the three uncles, none of them are brave people.

You should abide by the law all your life, but you can't be arrested and sent to jail when you are old.

"Qin Huairu, how do you teach your children? But seeing that Banggeng and the others are still young, I think we should just settle this matter privately."

The second uncle immediately chose a side and stood on He Yuzhu's side.

The third uncle also nodded, agreeing very much with what the second uncle said, and almost said a word.

"Me too!"

Qin Huairu asked He Yuzhu at this time.

"Zhu Zi..., you also know that Sister Qin's current living environment, the salary she earns in the kitchen is barely enough to make ends meet, look at this compensation..."

He Yuzhu didn't give Qin Huairu a chance to speak and said with a sneer.

"I told you to pay ten times the price of the item. Sha Mao asked me for five dollars for a chicken, so you should pay ten times the price, fifty dollars!"

When Xu Damao heard the price of fifty yuan, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

I didn't expect that this idiot Zhu was so powerful. He earned fifty yuan for himself. When I get the money later, I will give this idiot Zhu five yuan at least.

"Fifty dollars, are you trying to rob me? Where can we get fifty dollars?"

"Oh my god, this life is unbearable, Lao Jia...!!"

Just as Jia Zhang was about to communicate with the spirits, she suddenly remembered that Director Wang from the Street Office had come to the courtyard two days ago and said that they would resolutely crack down on the "Four Olds" and severely punish feudal superstitions. However, anyone who reported something to the Street Office would be heavily rewarded once the matter was verified.

Now all the neighbors are staring at Jia Zhang, with excited looks on their faces, waiting for her to communicate with the spirit world, so that they can go to the street office to report this old hag.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth and dared not speak anymore.

"Zhu Zi, don't you know the situation at my family? Fifty dollars is too much. Can you...?"

He Yuzhu shook off Qin Huairu's hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that Qin Huairu had grabbed, and threw the handkerchief on the ground.

"Whether you have money or not is your problem. My problem is to get compensation. If you don't have money, I will report it to the police. Anyway, I don't care about compensation."

"But your Bang Geng will definitely go to juvenile detention for stealing. Although stealing a chicken is not a big crime, he will be incarcerated for ten days or half a month and then released."

"But, if you have a criminal record at such a young age, you won't be able to find a job or even go to school."

"Besides, who would marry a girl to a man with a criminal record? Tell me, is this right?"

The neighbors in the yard nodded one after another.

Yes, who would marry their daughter to a man who has no education, no job, and a criminal record? It is absolutely impossible.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu felt weak all over and fell to the ground.

If the police really come, then my success will be over.

She quickly crawled to the three uncles.

"Three uncles, please help our family. Bang Geng cannot go to the juvenile detention center. If he goes in, he will be doomed."

The second uncle and the third uncle looked unhappy.

I have suffered an unexpected disaster tonight!

Originally I just wanted to come and have some old duck soup with Zhuzi, but who knew I would encounter a whole hospital meeting.

Judging from Qin Huairu's attitude, she is going to ask everyone in the hospital to donate money to their family again.

At this time, everyone in the hospital stared at Qin Huairu and the Jia family fiercely.

Yi Zhonghai is now having dinner at Jia's house, but he still cannot refuse Qin Huairu's request.

So he said to Qin Huairu.

"Huai Ru, don't worry. I believe no one will stand idly by. We will definitely help your family."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the neighbors in the yard started complaining.

There has been no donation for a long time, and everyone thought the project was cancelled. Unexpectedly, this old man Yi Zhonghai is going to start it again.

"Master, why should we be held responsible for the Jia family's child's mistakes? You are the ex-husband of Widow Qin. It's your business if you want to help, don't drag us into this!"

"Yeah, we won't donate. Life is tough this year and we don't have any extra money to donate!"

Although the neighbors said this, if the three uncles forced them to raise funds, they would have to give a few cents.

The second uncle and the third uncle were also mumbling, but Yi Zhonghai spoke to them.

If this cannot be settled privately, the police will come and not only will the civilized courtyard be destroyed, but the three uncles will also be dismissed by the street office.

Thinking of this, the second and third uncles could only nod in agreement.

In this way, the long-lost donations reappeared in the Siheyuan.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to take out ten dollars and put it on the table.

Next came the second uncle's five dollars, and then the third uncle's two dollars.

When the neighbors saw that the three uncles had donated, they had no choice but to donate money too, some with a few cents.
