Get something in the courtyard

Seeing that Shazhu didn't come back with him, Yi Zhonghai was disappointed. But he couldn't care about him at this time: "Huai Ru, what's going on with Bang Geng? Why did he get married suddenly?"

Qin Huairu said in a panic: "Uncle, I really don't know. He never said anything."

In order to prove that he was not lying, Qin Huairu also took out all the letters written by Banggeng.

Yi Zhonghai took out all the letters and read them one by one. There was no mention of marriage or even finding a partner in them.

"What's the matter?"

Qin Huairu just cried and shook her head.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to think of Yan Jiekuang: "I'll go ask Jiekuang. He and Banggeng queued up in the same place. Maybe he knows something."

The two widows of the Jia family had no idea what to do and followed Yi Zhonghai to Yan Bugui's home.

This situation frightened Yan Bugui, and his first thought was whether his family had offended Qin Huairu. He was relieved after confirming that he had not offended Qin Huairu and did not have to worry about Yi Zhonghai bringing people to cause trouble.

"Old Yi, what are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't have time to waste on Yan Bugui, so he said, "We have something to do with Jie Kuang, call him back."

Yan Bugui looked embarrassed: "I also want to ask him to come back, but that little bastard has rarely come back since he got married, and I have no choice."

Yi Zhonghai knew that Yan Bugui was telling the truth. After finding out where Yan Jiekuang worked, he took his men to find Yan Jiekuang.

The third aunt pushed Yan Bugui and said, "Why are you still standing there? Come and have a look."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just want them to find Jie Kuang for what?"

"No matter what they do, you have to follow them and make sure Jie Kuang doesn't fall into their trap."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui immediately followed. Even if Yan Jiekuang was not a thing, he was still a child of the Yan family. Yan Jiekuang's things belonged to the Yan family and could not be taken away by outsiders.

Yan Jiekuang said angrily: "Uncle, are you sick? I have been back from the countryside for many years, how can I know the situation of Banggeng in the northwest. If you want to know, go to the northwest and ask for yourselves."

Yi Zhonghai glared at Yan Jiekuang in dissatisfaction, but said to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, look at this, this is the child you taught, he doesn't know how to respect the elderly at all."

Yan Bugui said, "Old Yi, Jie Kuang's words are unpleasant to hear, but they are true. He has been back from the countryside for two years, so how can he know about Banggeng's situation? Banggeng is getting married in the northwest, which is a good thing. When will he come back for the wedding?"

Jia Zhang was furious and scolded Yan Bugui. Their family's Banggeng could not be brought back, and Yan Bugui dared to plot against their family's banquet.

The group parted on bad terms and returned to the courtyard in depression.

Yan Bugui was angry and did not hide the secret for the Jia family. Soon everyone in the courtyard knew that Banggeng was going to get married in the northwest.

Yi Zhonghai saw this and immediately realized that it was not good. If this news spread, Banggeng would not be able to find a partner when he returned. If Banggeng was not his son, he would not care about this, but Banggeng was his son and was responsible for carrying on the family line of the old Yi family.

"That's enough. What nonsense are you talking about? Bang Geng is getting old, and someone in the northwest introduced him to a girl. He sent a telegram to inquire about the family situation. There is no such thing as marriage.

Banggeng is so filial, how can he make the decision on such a big matter as marriage without asking his family?"

This explanation was barely believable. Everyone didn't have much hatred towards Qin Huairu, and they were afraid that Jia Zhang would block the door and curse at them, so they didn't discuss this topic anymore.

The families that have a bad relationship with the Jia family have no intention of caring about the Jia family's affairs.

After returning to the house, Yi Zhonghai became worried again. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a good solution.

"Huairu, let's send a telegram to Banggeng to find out what's going on." Qin Huairu nodded and followed Yi Zhonghai to the telegraph office to send a telegram to Banggeng: "Comrade, when can we receive the telegram over there?"

"It should be ready by tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest. It's mainly because the post office over there is taking time to deliver the telegram. Comrade, don't worry!"

How can I be at ease?

If Banggeng gets married in the Northwest, all their decades of planning will go down the drain.

Bang Geng was also feeling bad at this time, and he regretted it even more. If the news from home had come a month earlier, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed.

In the village where he was sent to work, the daughter of the village director married the son of the production team leader. Half a year ago, an accident happened and the son of the production team leader died, leaving behind a beautiful daughter-in-law and two children.

These days, life is hard for widows with children in the city, let alone in the rural areas of the northwest.

The unmarried young men in the village, as well as the educated youth who could not hold back, began to slowly test the widow.

At the beginning, the widow could still control herself, but life was hard and she didn't have enough to eat. In order to keep her two children from starving, she slowly began to flirt with those men.

Among them, Banggeng was the most prominent one, for no other reason than that he was the richest among them. The Jia family sent ten yuan to Banggeng every month.

Ten dollars.

Two people can survive for a month in Beijing, let alone here in the Northwest.

Maybe it was the widow's natural skill, the woman immediately set her eyes on Bang Geng.

What a great joke. When I was a kid, I often saw Qin Huairu using this method to seduce Sha Zhu and take advantage of him.

He swore that he would never be a fool. When the young widow seduced him once, he boldly did it to her.

He thought that he could settle the widow with some money, but the more money he gave, the more reluctant she was to let him go. In order to completely tie him to the village, the widow teamed up with her family to catch him in adultery.

If you are trapped in bed, you can either marry a widow or go to the police station.

Bang Geng was unwilling to go to the police station, so he could only agree to marry the widow. The village chief was worried that Bang Geng would run away, so he confiscated all his money and documents.

The money for this telegram was sent by Yi Zhonghai.

As news of the college entrance exam came in, the widow watched him even more closely, and even when he went out, someone would stare at him.

Qin Huairu was a person with her own ideas. She thought Banggeng must have encountered difficulties, so she sent this telegram.

"Uncle, I want to go to the northwest and bring Banggeng back personally. This telegram from Banggeng must be asking for help. I can't watch him being destroyed by those people."

Yi Zhonghai did not speak immediately after hearing this, but weighed the pros and cons. He also felt that Banggeng was in trouble, so he sent such a message without thinking.

But if Banggeng really encountered trouble, he would need money to solve it. Who could give Banggeng the money? Although Banggeng was his son, his property would belong to Banggeng sooner or later, but that would have to be after Banggeng gave him a grand funeral.

Jia Zhang didn't think so much, and said quickly: "Yes, Banggeng must be in trouble. Those people probably know that Banggeng is going to college, and they think that Banggeng is a rich son-in-law, so they plan to tie him to Banggen in advance. We can't let them get what they want, and we can't let them drag Banggen down. Qin Huairu, you quickly pack your things and make sure to bring Banggen back."

Qin Huairu immediately felt that Jia Zhang's words made sense. Banggeng didn't get married earlier or later, but got married when he was about to take the college entrance examination. He must have been set up by someone.

"Mom. I'll pack up now and ask for leave from the factory tomorrow. Then I'll go to the northwest to look for Banggeng." (End of this chapter)
