Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Chapter 64: Jia Family's Awakening

But he still frowned and said, "Let's see. I'll go ask. They should be able to do it for my sake. If it's really not enough, I'll add some more."

Hearing that Yi Zhonghai could give him some extra, Jia Dongxu was delighted and said quickly, "Thank you, Master. When I succeed in getting promoted, I will definitely treat you to a meal."

"Well, you should also pay more attention to it and practice your skills well, so as not to have any accidents."

"Okay, I'll practice my skills."

After getting Yi Zhonghai's promise, Jia Dongxu returned home happily, never expecting that his master had set a big trap for him.

Wang Bo heated up the leftovers from last night in the morning and ate them. Just as he was about to go out for work, he suddenly saw Bang Geng looking at him furtively through the door at the hanging flower gate.

Banggeng has been stealing things from other people's homes since he was young. People see him as a child and don't bother with him, which has encouraged his bad habits.

Look, this kid has become more and more daring recently, and even came to Wang Bo's place to steal.

Wang Bo's heart moved, he gently opened the door, and directly slipped into the small courtyard.

Banggeng looked at the hanging flower gate for a while, then looked closer to Wang Bo's house. Seeing that the door of the house was open but no one was inside, the boy glanced left and right.

He accelerated and drove straight into Wang Bo's house.

Wang Bo watched him looking left and right in the house in the small space courtyard, and thought that this kid Banggeng was beginning to have the potential to be a thief!

Banggeng took a quick look around the room and realized that there was a poor man living in the room. There was nothing there except a bed and something to eat.

At this moment, Banggeng suddenly saw a piece of candy on the table.

Bang Geng was surprised, "Why didn't I see it just now?"

Sweets like milk candy are very attractive to children. Banggeng took the milk candy without hesitation.

After taking another quick look around and confirming that the family was so poor that they had nothing, Banggeng turned around and left the house.

But after taking a few steps, he heard a voice behind him.

"Bang Geng, you came into my house?"

Bang Geng was frightened and shuddered. He turned around and saw Wang Bo standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"No, no."

Banggeng knew that his family and Wang Bo were not on good terms, and was afraid that Wang Bo would beat him, so he quickly denied it.

"Where did you get the candy in your hand?"

When Wang Bo asked this, Bang Geng's heart tightened. Even though he was very scared, he still said stubbornly, "I got it from my own home."

Wang Bo frowned and asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Seeing Wang Bo like this, Bang Geng quickly suppressed his fear in order to make him believe it, and said loudly: "This is what I took from my own home. If you don't believe me, you can go ask my grandma!"

Wang Bo frowned and asked loudly, as if to make Bang Geng tell the truth:

"Bang Geng, I'm asking you again, have you ever been to my house? And where did you get this candy from? You'd better tell the truth, or I'll beat you up!"

It had come to this point, how could Bang Geng admit it? He stiffened his neck and glared at Wang Bo, looking righteous and confident, and shouted loudly:

"I already told you that I didn't go into your house, and I took this candy from my own house!"

"You're not telling the truth, are you? I'm really going to beat you up!"

"You can hit me, you can hit me, but no matter how much you hit me, the candy is still from my own home!"

Banggeng was no longer afraid at this time. He stared at Wang Bo with wide eyes, as if Wang Bo had wronged him.

Very good, this kid has grasped the essence of refusing to admit one's mistakes.

Wang Bo clapped his hands, nodded, and said with a smile: "Not bad, you can go."

Banggeng smiled triumphantly when he saw that Wang Bo gave up questioning and let him go.

He held his head high and chest puffed out, and strolled back leisurely like a victorious general.

Looking at Bang Geng's leaving figure, Wang Bo said with a smile:

"Bang Geng is a smart kid since he was young."

On the other hand, after Jia Dongxu gave all the money to Yi Zhonghai, he felt empty inside, as if he had been hollowed out. Such a large amount of money was enough for their family to use for a long time, but he didn't expect to just hand it over like this.

The distraught Jia Dongxu came to the steel rolling mill relying entirely on muscle memory. He picked up the workpiece mechanically and began processing it numbly.

At this time, Jia Dongxu's mind was not on his work at all, so how could he process the workpiece well? He only heard a "click" and the workpiece in his hand was directly damaged.

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, heard the noise and hurried over to see what was going on. When he saw that Jia Dongxu had damaged the workpiece into scrap, he couldn't help but frown.

"Dongxu, why are you so absent-minded? This first piece has become a waste. Hurry up and work hard!"

Jia Dongxu also came back to his senses a little. After hearing Yi Zhonghai's reprimand, he just responded and put the waste aside, thinking of putting them all in the waste collection box after he was done.

But as soon as Jia Dongxu put down the waste, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

What you put next to it is not waste, but tiny coins and dummies!

Jia Dongxu thought of what Yi Zhonghai had told him a few days ago, that many people secretly took waste out to resell it. Since others could do it, then he could do it too!

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu immediately became energetic. While processing the workpiece, he planned in his mind how to take the waste out.

In the courtyard, Banggeng had a full breakfast. Qin Huairu took him to Red Star Primary School. After the two left, only Jia Zhang and Xiaodang were left in the Jia family.

After eating something, Xiaodang lay down on the bed and fell asleep again, leaving Jia Zhang alone in the room.

Jia Zhang looked at the house where she had lived all her life, her mind full of thoughts. In order for her son to advance, she had emptied the family savings and even mortgaged the sewing machine at home. This made Jia Zhang, who had devoted her whole life to this family, extremely sad.

Suddenly, she seemed to have made some kind of decision. There was no sadness in her eyes anymore, but instead she revealed determination. She, Jia Zhang, was determined to fight for this family!

After Qin Huairu saw Banggeng enter the school, her face, which had been forcing a smile, turned into a frown.

She had been married to the Jia family for 51 years and had always worked hard and given everything for the Jia family. She even rarely returned home during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

I thought life would get better and better, but unexpectedly it has been getting worse and worse recently.

What can I do?

My lazy mother-in-law at home favors boys over girls, so I can only take care of Xiaodang by myself. Even if I want to find some work on the street, I can't spare the time.

Now the whole family is borrowing money and betting on Dongxu's promotion, but what if he fails the assessment?

The whole family has borrowed so much money and even pawned the sewing machine. What should we do if we don’t have the money to redeem it when the time comes?

Alas, when the time comes I will have to do it myself and ask for help from Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai and others.
