Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1226: Greedy Jia Zhang

There are no fools in the courtyard.

Everyone knew that Xu Damao wanted to hide this from Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong so that they would fall into Boss Huang's trap without knowing it. In fact, many people in the compound had long been dissatisfied with Sha Zhu and Liu Haizhong.

Therefore, everyone nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The third uncle pushed his glasses on his nose and said with a smile: "Da Mao, you have thought it through, and we will definitely cooperate with you.

We will keep this matter to ourselves and won’t tell anyone else.”

Yan Jiecheng also echoed, "Yes, yes, it's right to listen to Second Master.

We can’t let the reputation of the compound be ruined.”

The other residents also followed suit.

Xu Damao looked at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's good, that's good.

We are all doing this for the good of the compound. As long as we work together, nothing can go wrong.”

After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards his home.

On the other side, after Liu Haizhong took Yi Zhonghai's money, he came to the Jia family with the remaining money and walked with a somewhat proud step.

Jia Zhang had been waiting for him in the room eagerly. When she saw Liu Haizhong coming in, she immediately rushed over like a cat smelling fish and asked, "Did you get the money?"

Liu Haizhong looked arrogant and deliberately took out the dozen of money from his pocket slowly.

He waved the money in front of Jia Zhang, then counted out four dollars and handed it to her.

Jia Zhang's eyes widened suddenly, looking at the mere four dollars with a look of disgust on her face: "That's all? You're treating a beggar like a fool!"

Then, her eyes fell on the remaining money in Liu Haizhong's hand, and a trace of greed flashed across her face, "I see you've made a lot of money, you have to give me forty dollars!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was immediately furious. His eyes widened and he shouted, "What did you say? Forty dollars?

Do you think money comes from the wind? I was almost beaten up by Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng. I finally earned this little money, but you are asking for too much. How can I give it to you? "

Jia Zhang was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her hips and said viciously, "You won't give it to me, right? Fine, I'll sue you! You'll have to pay for it!"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He sneered, "Go ahead and sue me! Go now if you have the guts!

At worst I'll be locked up, and you won't get a penny!"

Jia Zhang didn't expect Liu Haizhong to be so tough this time.

He was choked all of a sudden. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time. His face turned blue and white, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Qin Huairu, who had been standing by, secretly blamed Jia Zhang for being too greedy, but Jia Zhang was her mother-in-law after all, so she had to help her out of both moral and legal reasons.

So she hurried forward, put on a smile, and complained to Jia Zhang: "Mom, don't be too anxious. Uncle Liu has a hard time too."

Then he looked at Liu Haizhong again, and said with a somewhat helpless and pleading tone: "Uncle Liu, you see, our family's life is really too difficult.

Can you please be so kind as to add another four dollars, so that the total is eight dollars? "

The fire in the center of the bangs also went out

He knew very well that if Jia Zhang really went to complain now, he would definitely be arrested, and that would be big trouble.

After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed.

He took out another four dollars from his pocket and handed it to Jia Zhang together with the previous four dollars, warning her unhappily, "It's just eight dollars. This is for Qin Huairu's sake. Don't make trouble again! Otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Jia Zhang snatched the money and kept cursing, "You old thing, this is all I'm going to give you..."

Before he could finish his words, Qin Huairu quickly stopped him.

Qin Huairu held Jia Zhang tightly and said to Liu Haizhong with a smile, "Uncle Liu, don't bother with her, that's just her temper.

You are a magnanimous person, so let's just let it go."

After that, he turned around and whispered to Jia Zhang: "Mom, please stop talking. It's good enough to get eight dollars. If you keep making trouble, you will lose everything."

After being persuaded by Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang

Although I am still angry

But he also knew that there was no benefit in continuing the fuss, so he glared at Liu Haizhong fiercely and stopped talking.

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and turned away. After leaving the Jia family's gate, he couldn't help but mutter: "This old woman is really greedy. If I wasn't afraid that she would do something bad, I wouldn't give her the money."

However, he was still quite satisfied. After all, he made a lot of money this time.

Liu Haizhong hummed a little tune and returned home triumphantly.

I sat down on the chair and planned to pour some wine and enjoy the comfortable time of this "rich man".

He searched in the cupboard, but only found a bottle of sweet potato wine.

Looking at the bottle of sweet potato wine, Liu Haizhong was full of disgust. "Huh, who am I now? How can I drink this stuff?"

He talked to himself and decided to go out and buy a bottle of Moutai to treat himself.

Just as he stood up to leave

The second aunt came out from the inner room in a hurry. Seeing this, she quickly stretched out her hand to stop him and advised anxiously, "Old man, you can't go! The money has to be saved for the two sons. You know they are still hiding in the suburbs. If something happens, they will need the money!"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately flew into a rage, glared at him, and shouted angrily: "What do you know!

All you do all day is talk about your son. I work hard to earn some money, so can’t I enjoy myself?

Besides, what could happen to those two guys?

They are hiding well, there is no need for you to worry about them! I have to go buy Moutai today, no one can stop me! "

The second aunt was frightened by Liu Haizhong's momentum, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted, "Old man, you can't be so willful!

We have to spend this money sparingly, because there will be many other places to spend money in the future. We can't just spend money recklessly for the sake of momentary pleasure."

Liu Haizhong was not going to listen, he shook off the second aunt's hand and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense here!

I earned my own money, I can spend it however I like! If you try to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, he slammed the door and walked out without looking back, leaving the second aunt standing there, wiping her tears helplessly.

At this time, Boss Huang and seven or eight other people were guarding in a grove not far from the courtyard.

In the winter woods, the branches and leaves are sparse, and the cold wind blows in, making everyone shiver.

We waited from afternoon till evening, the sky gradually darkened, but Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, with no trace left.

Several of the brothers began to lose patience. One of them rubbed his frozen hands.

He whispered to Boss Huang, "Brother, it's almost dark, and we haven't seen anyone yet. Have we waited in vain? How about... let's go back first?"

When Boss Huang heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he angrily shouted, "Go back? What are you going to do?

You can't even endure this little hardship, and you still want to make money? I tell you, if anyone leaves now, don't be my relative anymore!

We'll stay here, they will definitely come out." After being scolded by Boss Huang, the young man was so scared that he dared not say a word and shrank aside with his head down.

The others looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything more.

After a while, another little brother couldn't help complaining: "Brother, it's so loud, it's not a big deal to just stand here and watch.

What if they don't come out tonight? Wouldn't we be freezing in vain?"

Boss Huang glared at him and said viciously, "I said we can wait! If you don't want to work with me, get out now!

But if you leave, don’t even think about relying on me anymore.”

After hearing this, everyone was silent.

Boss Huang looked at the group of people, his tone softened a little, and said, "Everyone, hold on a little longer. As long as we catch those two guys and get the money back, you will definitely get some benefits. With so many of us, are you afraid that we won't be able to wait for them?"

The crowd had no choice but to continue to stand in the cold wind, staring at the direction of the courtyard.

Just at this moment, Liu Haizhong came back leisurely from a distance, holding a bottle of Maotai liquor and humming a tuneless little song.

It turned out that in order to buy wine, he deliberately took a long detour and walked along a less traveled path.

Suddenly, two young men jumped out of the woods like ghosts, as agile as cheetahs.

Before Liu Haizhong could react, they grabbed Liu Haizhong's arms, one on each side, and pulled him into the woods.

Liu Haizhong was so frightened that his face turned pale, thinking he was being robbed.

He was terrified and said in a trembling voice: "Two heroes, I... I really have no money. Take this bottle of Moutai as a gift to you two. Please let me go!"

However, the two young men seemed not to hear what he said and ignored him.

They just kept pushing him deeper into the woods.

After a while, they came to the place where everyone was hiding in the grove.

Boss Huang walked out slowly from the shadows, with an intimidating look on his face.

As soon as Liu Haizhong saw Boss Huang, he was so frightened that he shivered and his heart was pounding as if it was going to jump out of his throat.

However, Liu Haizhong's mind was working very fast.

He knew very well that he must not admit to stealing now. Once he admitted it, it would be the end of him.

So, he pretended to be calm, pretending to know nothing, with an innocent and puzzled expression on his face.

He stuttered and asked Boss Huang: "Boss Huang...Boss Huang, what...what are you doing? How...how did I offend you?"

Boss Huang stepped forward, snatched the Moutai from Liu Haizhong's hand, and held it high.

Then he pointed at Liu Haizhong with his eyes wide open and shouted angrily: "You are still pretending here! You stole my things!

Now, you dare to buy Moutai and enjoy yourself. You are really free and easy!"

Liu Haizhong's face turned pale and red, his eyes dodged, and he pretended to be calm and argued: "Boss Huang, please don't wrongly accuse a good person!

I saved this money for a long time, so I wanted to buy myself a bottle of good wine to reward myself.

It has nothing to do with your matter."

Boss Huang sneered. He knew in his heart that a veteran like Liu Haizhong would not easily admit it without some powerful means.

He was too lazy to talk to Liu Haizhong anymore.

He waved his hand and shouted to the little brother behind him: "Do it now, let him know what happens if he steals my things!"

Those little brothers had already become impatient and upon receiving the order, they rushed forward like hungry wolves.

Liu Haizhong is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others

He immediately realized that the situation was not good, took a step back, clenched his fists, and put on a posture of resistance.

However, these little brothers were well prepared.

One of the nimble brothers quickly went behind Liu Haizhong and pressed the dagger against his lower back. The cold blade pressed against his skin, and Liu Haizhong trembled all over with fear.

"If you move again, I'll stab you!" the little brother threatened viciously.

Liu Haizhong felt the chill coming from his waist, and his body froze instantly, not daring to move at all.

Immediately afterwards, several other brothers surrounded Liu Haizhong and started punching and kicking him.

Liu Haizhong screamed in pain and held his head with both hands, trying to resist the attacks, but it was of no use.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I admit it, I admit it!" Liu Haizhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in a crying voice.

The brothers stopped their actions. Boss Huang stepped forward, looked down at the disheveled Liu Haizhong, and asked with a sneer, "Tell me, what happened?"

Liu Haizhong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, panting, and said quickly: "Yes, it was me, Sha Zhu, and Yan Jiecheng who did it. We stole things from your cafeteria.

But I really didn't mean to offend you. It was all his idea. He said it would be done without anyone knowing and that he could make a lot of money. I... I just followed him in a daze."

Yan Jiecheng...Why is Yan Jiecheng involved here?

Boss Huang was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't think much about it.

Boss Huang squatted down, grabbed his collar by the fringe, pulled his face in front of him, and said viciously: "Stop talking nonsense, and quickly take out the money you got from selling the things!

I won't argue with you, just 1,500 yuan, and let's just leave it at that."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately looked sad and said in a sobbing voice: "Boss Huang, I really don't have that much money!

We only sold it for more than 300 yuan, and the rest was divided among them. I…I really can’t afford it.”

"What? Only over 300 yuan?"

Boss Huang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, then he stood up, kicked Liu Haizhong's leg, and shouted angrily: "You idiot!

You sold so many good things for just this little money? Are you kidding me?"

Liu Haizhong curled up in pain and waved his hands repeatedly: "Boss Huang, how dare I fool you, I really only sold this much.

The situation is tense now, and buyers are afraid to pay high prices, so we have no choice."

Boss Huang was so angry that he paced back and forth. He could never have imagined that he would only get such a small amount of money in exchange for the supplies he had suffered heavy losses.

He suddenly stopped, walked in front of Liu Haizhong again, and said through gritted teeth: "Where is the three hundred yuan? Where is the money? If you don't hand over the money today, I will make you leave lying down!"

Liu Haizhong took out a tattered cloth bag from his arms tremblingly and opened it hurriedly. Inside were some scattered banknotes and coins.

He cried, "Boss Huang, this is all I have left. This is all I have left. I'll give it to you. Please forgive me."
