Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Alright, alright! I, Shazhu, am not an unreasonable person!"

When Sha Zhu heard Chen Hui's words, he felt a little embarrassed as the manager, but after looking at the third uncle and Qin Huairu behind him, he still agreed.

Seeing that Sha Zhu had loosened his temper, the Third Master quickly suggested, "In that case, let Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu go into the kitchen and take a look. Maybe Jia Zhang is in there."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Hui couldn't refuse, so he had to take Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu into the kitchen.

The kitchen is filled with the rich aroma of food, and the chefs are preparing the ingredients in an orderly manner.
Chen Hui clapped his hands and shouted, "Everyone, stop for a moment!"

When the chefs heard the shout, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Hui in confusion.

Chen Hui then said, "Let me ask you guys, who among you is from Jiajiazhuang?"

Master Zhang scratched his head and spoke first: "Manager, I'm not from Jiajiazhuang. My home is far away from here. I came from the south."

A younger chef next to him also shook his head.
"Me neither, I'm from here, I've never heard of Jiajiazhuang."

The chef who cut vegetables said, "Manager, I have worked in this kitchen for many years. I know the origins of all of us chefs. It is true that none of them came from Jiajiazhuang."

Someone nearby echoed, "Yes, Manager, we don't know any of the people in Jiajia Village."

Sha Zhu listened to the chefs' answers and continued to ask, "Think about it carefully, is there really no one from Jiajiazhuang?
Or have you seen an old woman who said she was coming here to get some leftovers yesterday? "

The chefs looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Master, we are busy cooking every day, so we don't have time to pay attention to these things. Besides, the leftovers in our kitchen are handled according to regulations and will not be given away casually. Are you kidding me? This is Donglaishun, a regular state-owned restaurant."

Qin Huairu felt depressed when she heard the news.

"What should I do? Where did my mother-in-law go?"

The three of them carefully checked the kitchen again, but still could not find any trace of Jia Zhang.
Sha Zhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said to Chen Hui, "Manager Chen, I was impulsive just now. I'm sorry."

Chen Hui looked at Sha Zhu, and his dissatisfaction with him dissipated a lot. He felt that he seemed to have misunderstood this black-faced man.

"It's okay, it's okay. We're all just trying to find someone. I understand."

A few people left Donglaishun and walked back to the Siheyuan.

The second aunt suddenly frowned: "What do you think, could Jia Zhang have been kidnapped? Otherwise, why would she disappear for no reason?"

After hearing this, the third uncle immediately shook his head, showing a look of disapproval on his face, and said: "Impossible, who would kidnap an old woman? Are you going to take her home to take care of her in her old age?
Jia Zhangshi doesn't have anything valuable, so what's the point of tying her up?"

At this time, Sha Zhu touched his chin and said, "If you ask me, we should report it to the police station and the street office and ask them to help look for it. With more people, there is more power. Maybe we can find Jia Zhang soon."

Qin Huairu's face changed immediately when she heard this, and she quickly stopped Sha Zhu: "No, wait a few more days, maybe Jia Zhang will go home by herself in a few days."

She knew in her heart that if the police station knew about what Jia Zhang had done before and started an investigation, she and Bang Geng might be implicated as well.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu had no choice but to give up.

The third uncle also understood Qin Huairu's concerns, so he said, "Okay, everyone go back first, don't delay the work. Let's observe and see, maybe Jia Zhang will really come back."

After hearing what the third uncle said, everyone nodded and dispersed.

After Qin Huairu returned home, she was still feeling anxious.

If Jia Zhang really did something messy, how would she deal with it?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Huairu was startled and hurried to the door
When I opened the door, I saw Xiao Chen from the compound next door standing outside, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Xiao Chen, it's so late, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xiao Chen smiled, took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Qin Huairu, and said, "Sister Qin, I just met a young man outside, and he asked me to pass this letter to you.

I don’t know what happened, so I sent it to you.”

Qin Huairu was even more confused: "This is really strange, I don't know any young people, why would they write to me?"

But she still smiled politely and said to Xiao Chen: "Thank you, Xiao Chen."

Then the door closed.

Qin Huairu took the letter, turned around and walked into the house, muttering to herself, "Who on earth is this? He's so mysterious."

At this time, Banggeng came out of the house, rubbing his sleepy eyes: "Mom, who came just now, what happened?"

Qin Huairu told him everything that had happened, then shook the letter in her hand and said, "I don't know what's in this letter. A young man I don't know asked Xiao Chen to deliver it."

Banggeng became excited when he heard this: "Mom, let's open it and take a look. Maybe it's news about grandma. If something really happened to grandma, there might be clues in this letter."

Qin Huairu hesitated: "What if this is bad news? I don't dare to read it."

Bang Geng impatiently snatched the letter and said, "Oh, Mom, don't waste your time. Whether it's good news or bad news, you'll know after opening it."

Having said that, he couldn't wait to open the envelope and pull out the letter from it.

The content of the letter was very simple, that is, Jia Zhang was kidnapped by him
If Qin Huairu wants Jia Zhang to go back, she should give him 550 yuan.

After Bang Geng read the contents of the letter, his face turned pale instantly: "Mom, this...what should I do! Grandma has been kidnapped, I have to go to the police station to report it!"

Having said that, he turned around and was about to run out.

Although Banggeng didn't like this grandmother very much, after all, Jia Zhang was the only one who protected him in the compound.

Qin Huairu was quick-witted and rushed forward to stop the stick.
"Bang Geng, don't go yet!"

Bang Geng glared at Qin Huairu angrily, his face full of anger: "Mom, how could you do this! Grandma has been kidnapped, and you don't care about her? Are you her daughter-in-law or not!"

Qin Huairu's heart ached at Banggeng's words, and she explained anxiously, "Banggeng, calm down first! Think about it, the ransom the kidnapper wants is 550 yuan. Don't you remember this number?"

Bang Geng was stunned, frowned, and tried hard to recall.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if he remembered something: "Mom, I remember! A few days ago, grandma and I teamed up to swindle 350 yuan from Chenhua Store. Add Chen Xing's fine, that's 550 yuan!"

"Mom, could it be that Chen Huadian kidnapped grandma? He's here to take revenge on us!"

Qin Huairu nodded and said, "Bang Geng, you are right, it must have been done by Chenhua Store.

This is a very troublesome matter. Even if you go to the police station to report it, and the comrades there find grandma, rescue her, and bring her to Chenhuadian, Chenhuadian will definitely tell us everything we have done.

By that time, you and your grandmother will both be in jail!" Banggeng was so frightened when he heard this that his legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead: "Mom, then...what should I do? I don't want to go to jail!

Mom, please think of a solution, please think of a solution!"

Banggeng had studied in a special school for several years and knew very well how terrible special schools were. The prison must be even more terrible than a special school.

Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's expression and said, "We can't panic now. We have to think of a foolproof plan. Let's first collect some money and see if we can get the ransom together to redeem grandma. Then we can find a way to make Chenhuadian afraid to tell anyone about this."

Bang Geng frowned: "Mom, I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you! But where can we get the 550 yuan?"

Are you kidding? If they had so much money, would they have cheated the aging shop?

Qin Huairu knew how difficult it was to raise the money.
But there was no other way at the moment. After thinking it over, she suggested, "Great! Why don't we go find Li Weidong and see if he can help us think of a solution?"

Bang Geng's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Mom! Li Weidong is an old man, and grandma is also from the compound. He must have the responsibility to save people!"

Qin Huairu didn't dare to delay, and hurried to Li's house, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door opened, revealing Yu Li's face.

Yu Li looked Qin Huairu up and down and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Qin Huairu forced a smile and said, "Sister, I have something urgent to ask the old man."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li replied indifferently, "Li Weidong is on a business trip."

Qin Huairu slapped her forehead and then she remembered that she had indeed seen Li Weidong hurried out of the compound gate with his luggage in the morning.

She knew that Yu Li had never had a good impression of her, so there was no point in saying more.

He responded awkwardly and turned back home.

As soon as he entered the house, Banggeng couldn't wait to come up to her: "Mom, what's the matter? What did the uncle say?" Qin Huairu sighed and told him about Li Weidong's business trip.

Bang Geng was furious when he heard this: "Why did Li Weidong go on a business trip at this time? He failed at the critical moment! What should we do now?
Are we just going to watch grandma being tied up? If we can't collect the money, grandma will be in danger and we will have to go to jail!"

He kicked the stool next to him hard, and it fell to the ground with a clang.

At this moment, a light suddenly flashed in his head.
He slapped his thigh and shouted, "Mom, I've got an idea! Let's go find Qin Jingru!"

Qin Huairu was puzzled and frowned as she asked, "Why are you looking for her? What does this have to do with her?"

Banggeng's eyes sparkled with cunningness, and he said confidently, "Mom, how could you forget?

Wasn't it because they wanted Qin Jingru to marry Chen Xing, but she didn't want to, that caused all these problems? Now that grandma was kidnapped, the root of the trouble was her.

She has to pay the ransom! Besides, she is now a workshop assistant, earning a lot of money, so she can afford it!"

Qin Huairu was stunned by Banggeng's extremely shameless words. She opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time.

They set up a scheme under the name of Qin Jingru to defraud Chenhua store of its money, but now Banggeng has the audacity to push all the blame onto Qin Jingru.

But she knew in her heart that she really had no other choice. If she didn't save Jia Zhang, Bang Geng would definitely be implicated because of the previous fraud.

By then, both the old and the young will go to jail, and the Jia family will be completely finished.

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly: "Okay, great, let's go find Qin Jingru and give it a try. But it's hard to say whether she is willing to pay for it."

Bang Geng didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "She has to pay! This matter was caused by her in the first place. If she doesn't pay, I will never forgive her!"

As he spoke, he strode towards the door.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her arm to stop Banggeng: "Banggeng, don't leave in a hurry.

I heard from my mother that when we meet Qin Jingru, we must be nicer and don't forget to call her aunt. We are going to ask for help and we can't make things awkward again."

Banggeng frowned impatiently and replied with disgust: "Oh, Mom, why are you so troublesome! I know what to do, you don't need to worry about it."

After saying that, he struggled to break free from Qin Huairu's hand and walked out of the house without looking back.

As soon as I walked into the yard, Sha Zhu was holding a basin of water and preparing to pour it out.
At a glance, you can see Banggeng rushing out in a hurry.

Shazhu put down the basin and asked curiously, "Banggeng, why are you in such a hurry?"

Bang Geng was furious when he heard Sha Zhu's question. Without even thinking, he started to curse, "You idiot, why are you asking so many questions? You can't help anyway!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately flew into a rage: "What are you talking about, you little brat! How dare you talk to your uncle like that? I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to rush forward.

Banggeng was not afraid at all. He made a face at Shazhu, then turned around and ran away.

He ran so fast that he disappeared at the gate of the yard in an instant.

Sha Zhu looked at the direction where Bang Geng left and stamped his feet in anger: "This little bastard is getting more and more outrageous!"

Shazhu felt that he would be a fool if he helped Banggeng again in the future.

Bang Geng ran out of the steel mill in a flash.

He stood at the factory gate and looked inside.

At this time, the patrolling security officer noticed him.

The security level of the steel rolling mill is now very high, and non-factory employees are not allowed to stay around the factory.

He walked up to him and stopped him and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Bang Geng put on a fake smile and said, "Comrade, I am Qin Jingru's nephew. I want to meet her for something urgent."

The security officer looked Bang Geng up and down, looking a little skeptical, but still nodded and said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll go in and call her."

The security officer walked into the workshop, glanced at the busy workers, and shouted, "Assistant Qin, someone is looking for you! They say it's your nephew!"

Qin Jingru was checking the product quality. When she heard the word "nephew", she stopped what she was doing and looked confused.

She wondered in her heart, when did a nephew appear?
I was stunned for several seconds before I suddenly realized that it was most likely that kid Banggeng.
