Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Chapter 842: Children's Rebellious Period
In the past two years, due to the increase in the number of unemployed young people on the streets, there have been more and more cases of petty theft.

For example, because the He family has a dog that can guard the house, they can pickle some salty foods and hang them under the eaves.

Many families rely on the elderly to look after their children in the yard.

That's it. It was taken away by someone without me noticing.

So it is normal for the elderly to ask all kinds of questions to strangers who enter the yard.

There's nothing we can do about it, those idle guys are poor.

Just like the life of He Yuzhu and Comrade Xiao Ren now, a small pot, steaming hot, add some bacon or something to make the base of the pot, kill two cabbages, slice potatoes, radishes and carrots, and blanch some spinach and bean sprouts, have a drink and chat about life, isn't it wonderful?

Idle people also want to live like this, but they have no money, so they can only do things like stealing.

For example, there have been quite a lot of such things happening in Nanluoguxiang recently.

So the Jia family has become a little lively these days.

Who made the Jia family have a reputation as a thief?

No matter whose house something was lost, whether it was taken by a cat or stolen by someone, as long as Banggeng showed up near that yard, the neighbors would feel at ease to blame the Jia family.

It is certain that they will come over and scold them. No matter whether the Jia family can pay compensation or not, those people will at least feel relieved.

Even when Bang Geng produced evidence of his alibi, no one apologized.

Those who have a bit of common sense turned around and walked away, muttering a few words as they walked, meaning that who knows whether what Bang Geng said is true or false.

If someone is unreasonable, I will just criticize him to his face, which means that what Banggen said is just quibbling.

Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu came out to argue, but they were silenced by just one sentence.

~"When the old lady of the Tong family came to settle accounts with your family, you refused to admit it, and in the end you still had to pay them back.·····Why are you pretending? I haven't caught the thief yet. If I had, I would have broken his legs directly·····"

This is how it is with many things. Once you make a mistake, you can never wash it away.

The key point is that I feel wronged!

It would be fine if outsiders didn't believe him, but even Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi didn't believe him.

Otherwise, Qin Huairu would not have chosen to pay compensation to settle the matter with Old Lady Tong last time.

Wasn't that done by Bang Geng?

No.

Can Banggen explain it?

No.

Because the fish was indeed caught by Bang Geng, but it was not from Old Lady Tong's house, but from the fisherman.

It is because of this that Banggeng cannot explain, but he always thinks that Qin Huairu should not wrongly accuse him.

According to his logic, he did not steal from Old Lady Tong's house, so he cannot be said to have stolen.

As for stealing from other people's homes, they didn't come to their door.

This kind of weird logic is very normal for people who make mistakes.

Besides, to put it bluntly, Banggeng is just a spoiled child.

Suddenly he found out that the people who usually doted on him were wrongly accusing him of something he had not done.

It's normal to be a little extreme.

Banggeng is now reluctant to go home and plays with a group of older kids on the street.

It is not true to say that the things lost in their alley had nothing to do with him.

Although Banggeng had never stolen anything, when he played with children from different yards, there were always children bragging about someone in the yard buying a big piece of pork.

……

These news were collected by Banggeng and revealed to the bad kids in a casual way.

From a Banggen perspective, since everyone is slandering him, it is normal for him to retaliate.

You can't just get beaten and not eat meat.

Like those bad kids, they get things easily, so they spend them generously.

As long as we get something good, we will always invite some friends to eat and drink together.

Of course, since they were eating and drinking, they would brag about their "heroic" deeds, or some news they heard from others.

“…In our area, there are actually a few wealthy families.

Like the one planted by Dongzi, the bald guy in summer, that's Dongzi being stupid.

Without asking around, it turned out that He Yuzhu was a troublemaker in this alley, and he was invincible in several alleys nearby.

Not to mention his brother-in-law, he is from the army. I heard that he has seen blood on his hands and has real weapons in his hands.

Isn't Dongzi seeking death by stealing from his house?

This is only possible in the inner city, where there are many people and eyes, otherwise it is hard to say whether Dongzi can save his life.

……

You are like the Jin family in Pi Tiao Hutong, whose ancestors are said to be Huangdingzi.

I heard from my grandfather's generation that he used to work for the Jin family before the family fell into decline.

That thing, people don’t use kerosene candles to light lamps at home, and it’s not an electric lamp.

Do you know what to use? "In an abandoned house, there was a pile of burning firewood and a large pot with meat and oil boiling in it, and the aroma was overflowing.

The person who was speaking was a famous alley dweller in Nanluoguxiang. His surname was Xiong and he was nicknamed Uncle Xiong. He was from the same group as Chen Wu from Yard 95.

But compared to him, Chen Wu has turned over a new leaf.

This thing has been a frequent visitor to the institute since before liberation.

Since my parents passed away, I have spent half of my time in there.

Even if he is out now, he is not willing to do proper work. His skills are not good enough. The big thieves look down on him, so he dare not do any big work.

Just relying on a little knowledge, he was able to eat and drink for free from these bad guys.

One child asked: "What else? It can't be a flashlight, right?

Hahaha……"

"Bullshit, I'll scare you to death if I tell you." Uncle Xiong said with disdain. He knew that the more he boasted, the more those kids would respect him, and they would respect him only when they got good things.

Uncle Xiong took out a piece of meat, ate it with his mouth full of oil foam, and drank another big gulp of wine.

"Ah!..." Master Xiong sighed with satisfaction, then patted his belly and said, "Boys, let me teach you a lesson.

Rich families all use luminous pearls for lighting.

That night pearl, so big...

Like a goose egg, one can buy the entire Nanluoguxiang street.

The Jin family alone has twelve such luminous pearls.

It is said that it was a reward given by some emperor to their ancestors.

……

The Jin family committed many sins before liberation, and all their children ran away. It was said that they went to a place where foreigners lived.

Only an old man is left, now he is in his seventies or eighties.

When the street office dealt with his family, the night pearl was never found.

You say, if we can get it, we can eat and drink delicious food every day, and we don’t need to worry about money? ..."

Legendary stories are everywhere, and Mr. Xiong doesn't care whether they are true or false, he just brags about them.

It was the dry goods that he had left behind after eating and drinking with these kids.

But when these fourteen or fifteen-year-old kids heard it, the shock it caused was different.

The one with the child asked with a little more rationality: "Won't the Jin family's child take it away?"

Mr. Xiong said disdainfully: "What do you know? We were all optimistic about the bald guy back then, and we all thought that the bald guy would fight back in a few years.

After all, the bald guys were given to them by foreigners.

If it were you, would you hide the treasure somewhere or carry it with you to attract attention? ..."
