Lu Qing's family now has two hundred yuan in savings, and life is no longer as tight as before.

He was thinking that if he had a chance to get an industrial ticket, it would be even better if he could buy a bicycle.

This will make it much more convenient to go out and do things, without having to walk every time.

At noon, Chen Wenhui brought out the freshly stewed chicken.

Following Lu Qing's instructions, the chicken was stewed very fragrantly. As soon as the two children smelled the aroma, they immediately ran over and clamored to eat the meat.

Chen Wenhui gave each child a chicken leg, and then served a bowl of chicken to Lu Qing.

In the past, we might not be able to eat a chicken in the entire year, but now we can easily enjoy this delicacy, which is really satisfying.

While eating, Lu Qing recalled that he was not used to the food in the compound when he first moved here.

Fortunately, I have some cooking skills, so I have been living a good life recently.

And now that I have eaten this delicious chicken, I feel extremely satisfied.

At the same time, Bang Geng who lived across the street also smelled the aroma of chicken. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "Do you smell it? This is the smell of stewed chicken. It smells so good."

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu also smelled it and felt itchy in their hearts.

Xiao Dang couldn't help but mutter: "I want to eat meat too. Chicken soup will be fine."

Qin Huairu knocked on her head: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble, there will always be a chance."

Banggeng touched the dollar in his pocket. He hadn't decided what to buy with the money.

To be honest, what he wanted to eat the most was meat, but one dollar could not buy much meat now.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked He Yuzhu for five dollars so that I could have bought more meat and eaten it with my family.

As he was thinking, his eyes rolled and a new idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

Since you can't buy meat through normal channels, you can always get some through other means, right?

He glanced in the direction of Lu Qing's house, and a cunning light flashed in his eyes.

After lunch, Lu Qing took the children out.

There are still many things to buy at home. When we had no money before, we could just make do. Now that we have more money, we naturally cannot live so frugally anymore.

It's also a good idea to take the kids out for a walk and buy some small toys.

Before leaving, Lu Qing locked the door tightly and even locked the windows.

Seeing this, Chen Wenhui advised: "You don't have to lock the windows so tightly, leave some gaps for air to flow in."

However, Lu Qing smiled meaningfully and said, "If we keep it, it will attract the wrong people, such as rats." He said this vaguely, and Chen Wenhui did not think much about it. Seeing that he insisted, she just let him do it.

In fact, Lu Qing knew very well that not only did his family eat chicken today, but they also took two hundred yuan from He Yuzhu. This news would spread throughout the compound in no time.

Others may not say anything, but he knows Banggeng's character very well.

When he smelled the chicken and saw that he had money, how could Bang Geng not set his sights on it?

Instead of waiting for him to cause trouble, it is better to take precautions in advance, lock the door tightly, and avoid unnecessary trouble.

After locking everything up, Lu Qing went out with his family without any worries.

He was confident that there was no need to be too defensive about the rest.

However, not long after Lu Qing's family left, Banggeng quietly slipped out of his home.

It was already past two in the afternoon. The people in the yard were either out or resting at home, and it was very quiet outside.

For Bang Geng, this was a godsend and no one paid attention to his movements.

After leaving his home, Banggeng went straight to Lu Qing's house. He first tried to push the door, but found it was locked.

He felt unwilling, thinking that the window on the side of Lu Qing's house was always open, and perhaps he could get in from there.

So he went around to the side, but this time even the windows were closed tightly.

Bang Geng frowned and walked around Lu Qing's house, but couldn't find any place to enter.

"What happened today?" Bang Geng muttered to himself. The Lu Qing family had never been so defensive before.

Is it because you took a little money that you have to be so cautious and guard against others like you would a thief?

Banggeng was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't get in at all, nor could he find out what was going on inside.

Just as he was about to go home in shame, He Yuzhu suddenly appeared in front of him.

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Banggeng, looking at you like this, do you really want to enter Lu Qing's house?"

Bang Geng was stunned and immediately denied it: "Stupid uncle, what are you talking about? I am not that kind of person!"

He Yuzhu chuckled: "How can I not know what kind of personality you have? You smelled the aroma of stewed chicken and wanted to sneak in to steal some food, right?"

Bang Geng was hit on the horns, but he refused to accept the news: "I didn't do anything bad, don't accuse me, or I'll go back and tell my mom!"

He Yuzhu smiled, moved closer and said, "Actually, if you really want to go in, I have a good idea. See if you want to hear it."

Banggeng was stunned when he heard this and looked at He Yuzhu suspiciously. He didn't expect that he would suddenly help him.

But then he thought about it, He Yuzhu and Lu Qing have been in constant conflict recently, he probably wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on Lu Qing, so he asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"

He Yuzhu smiled mysteriously: "It's just the door of his house, I can help you open it."

Bang Geng couldn't believe it: "Really?"

"Of course." He Yuzhu looked proud and walked towards a window in Lu Qing's house that had not been opened for a long time, ready to take action.

However, before he could do anything, he suddenly heard a stern shout: "Stop!"

He Yuzhu and Bang Geng were startled and turned around to see that it was Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked fierce and walked straight forward.

"What are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai asked coldly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He Yuzhu quickly put on a smile and said, "Uncle, it's nothing, I was just joking."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Banggeng took a few steps back guiltily and ran away.

Yi Zhonghai watched Bang Geng leave, then turned to look at He Yuzhu, his eyes scrutinizing: "You want to enter Lu Qing's house?"

He Yuzhu quickly shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, I was just joking, it's not that serious."

Yi Zhonghai did not speak immediately, but looked at He Yuzhu carefully for a while, sighed, and then asked: "I heard that you returned Lu Qing's apprenticeship fee to him today?"

He Yuzhu smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's just two hundred yuan, it's no big deal, it doesn't matter to me."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said in a heavy tone: "Have you noticed that you have been led by Lu Qing recently?"

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu's face darkened and he clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with resentment and anger.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Lu Qing is different now. He seems to be out of our control. You have to be careful."

He Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, one day I will make him disappear completely!"
