He Yu Cheng and He Yu Shui had just left their house when they saw a head poking out from the window of the Jia family. The person was looking at their backs with a sly look and a mischievous smile on his face!
After everyone in the courtyard went to work, the children, big and small, ran around in the streets and alleys with reckless abandon!
They climbed trees to catch birds, went down to the river to catch fish, jumped rope, and fought roosters. Everyone had their own group of friends to have fun and make noise with!
Qin Huairu tidied up the house, then, with her big belly, she gathered the dirty clothes and went to the yard to do the laundry!
If it were an ordinary day, Bang Geng would have already run out to play. Seeing him still there, Qin Huairu asked in puzzlement, "Bang Geng, why didn't you go out to play?"
Jia Zhangshi rolled her eyes and said, "The child was bitten like that, he cried so much this morning, how can he have the energy to go out and play? You, his mother, don't care about the child at all. Don't you think about finding a way to supplement his nutrition?"
Qin Huairu knew that no matter what she said, Jia Zhangshi would find a reason to argue. She was already used to it, so she simply stopped talking.
Yi Da Ma tidied up her house and then went to the backyard.
The other families in the yard also brought out their stools, taking advantage of the cool morning air to sew shoes and chat in the shade.
From time to time, they would point towards the Jia family. It didn't take much to guess that their conversation was related to them!
Bang Geng was currently in the courtyard, pacing back and forth between his own door and the He family's door.
When no one was paying attention, he slipped into He Yu Zhu's room. He rummaged through everything, but couldn't find anything!
He didn't have to worry about his siblings lately. The family's grain had been borrowed by Qin Huairu. He ate at the Za Gang Factory canteen during work hours and came back to eat dinner before returning to his room, feeling much more relaxed than before.
He hadn't found anything in He Yu Zhu's room, and Bang Geng kept grumbling, "Damn it, why is this stupid He Yu Zhu's house so empty?"
He peeked through the window to check outside. Seeing no one, he quickly ran out of the room, then quietly went to He Yu Cheng's room!
As he was sticking his head in, He Yu Cheng's spirit body kicked the door open!
The force of the door pushing back slammed straight into Bang Geng's nose!
"Ah!"
He screamed and clutched his nose.
Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes, and Jia Zhangshi, who was sewing shoes, as well as the people in the middle courtyard, all rushed over to see what was going on!
The force He Yu Cheng used was quite strong. The door slamming into Bang Geng's nose had flattened it, and blood was gushing out!
"Oh, Bang Geng, my dear grandson, what happened to you?"
The commotion in the middle courtyard attracted Yi Da Ma, Er Da Ma, Yan Fu Gui, and San Da Ma, who came over and looked at the Jia family like they had just eaten a fly.
The Jia family had been causing trouble every day, there wasn't a single day of peace!
"Wuu… grandma, it hurts!"
Jia Zhangshi pulled Bang Geng's hand away from his face, revealing his flattened nose. She was also startled. How did he fall? How could he fall so badly?
"Bang Geng, what happened? Tell grandma!"
Bang Geng pointed towards He Yu Cheng's room stammering, "Wuu… I, I went to the second fool's house to play, I bumped into the door."
The people in the courtyard rolled their eyes. There was no one at home, why would you go to play? What are you trying to do?
Jia Zhangshi didn't care though. Ignoring the pain in her feet, she rushed forward and opened the door. Seeing that there was no one inside, she began to throw a tantrum!
In this era, there were already few things in people's houses, and it was summer, so the bedding was simple. Jia Zhangshi threw such a fit that she immediately made the room a mess.
Qin Huairu stood beside her, hugging Bang Geng and sobbing. Bang Geng was really scared.
Yi Da Ma saw Jia Zhangshi smashing He Yu Cheng's room to smithereens and felt happy. After all, He Yu Cheng had extorted five thousand yuan from her family yesterday! It was impossible to say that she wasn't heartbroken.
She also deeply hated the Jia family. If it hadn't been for them, her old man Yi wouldn't have lost face, and he wouldn't have been mugged.
This incident had nothing to do with her today. She was purely here to watch the show. If the Jia family and He Yu Cheng fought, she could also vent her anger.
Seeing that she had smashed enough, Yi Da Ma pretended to be concerned, "Oh my, his nose is flattened. Why don't you hurry up and take Bang Geng to the hospital? My goodness, he really hit hard."
"Qin Huairu, what are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and take my grandson to the hospital?"
"Mom, I don't have a penny on me, you give me some money!"
"Money? What kind of money? Today, Bang Geng got hurt at the second fool's house, the second fool should pay!"
Er Da Ma, who had been enjoying the misfortune of the Jia family, took the opportunity to say sarcastically, "Hey, why should you make him pay? There was no one at home, so what was your Bang Geng doing there? And besides, why were you in He Yu Cheng's room?"
Hearing this, Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. She remembered what Jia Zhangshi said this morning, that everything in the He family belonged to them, and that Bang Geng said he would take everything back. Could it be that he went to take something?
"What business is it of yours? What business is it of yours? My grandson is just a few years old, he doesn't understand anything. Why does it matter if he went over to play?"
The incident had nothing to do with her, but seeing the Jia family suffer made her want to laugh uncontrollably. She spoke with a venomous tone, "It's none of my business, but don't forget, He Yu Cheng is working at the street committee now. You go to his house when there's no one there, how are you going to explain it later? The child is clueless, but adults shouldn't be clueless too! You're an old lady in your fifties, you smashed their house without knowing the whole story. How are you going to explain yourself to Wang Zhu Ren later? Don't forget, Wang Zhu Ren said that if you cause any more trouble in the courtyard, he'll take it upon himself to send you to the countryside!"
After hearing those words, Jia Zhangshi's face turned pale. Just a couple of days ago, Wang Zhu Ren had warned her once. If he knew she was causing trouble again, he would definitely send her to the countryside!
"Guang Tian, go to the street committee and call He Yu Cheng. Tell him his house was smashed by Jia Zhangshi!"
As the Third Elder of the courtyard, Yan Fu Gui also spoke up, "Jia family, what kind of behavior is this? Did He Yu Cheng offend you today? It was Bang Geng's carelessness, he tripped himself, but you smashed their house. You can't do things like this!"
"Wuu, Third Elder, please go to the Za Gang Factory and tell Dong Xu and Yi Da Ye that Bang Geng was hurt!"
Qin Huairu didn't care how Jia Zhangshi would be dealt with. But Bang Geng was her own son. It wouldn't be any use calling Jia Dong Xu back, the key was Yi Yi Hai!
Because the Jia family's money was all in Jia Zhangshi's hands, Jia Dong Xu had no way to get it out. And Yi Yi Hai, who believed that Bang Geng was his son, would definitely take the initiative to pay for Bang Geng's nose even if the Jia family didn't pay.
It's undeniable that Qin Huairu was truly clever.
But calling Yi Da Ye back made Yi Da Ma unhappy. Her husband had suffered so much because of the Jia family in the past few days. Taking another day off meant losing another day's salary.
She spoke with displeasure, "Qin Huairu, your family isn't broke. Old Yi already took a day off yesterday. Don't call him today."
