Siheyuan: Let Yourself Go He Yuzhu

Chapter 51 Bang Geng stole money, Qin's mother benefited, and He Yuzhu continued to spread rumors
The little love that Qin's mother had for Banggeng and Xiaodang had long been worn away by survival and time. Besides, Banggeng and Xiaodang were only Qin's grandson and granddaughter. Qin's mother had her own grandson and granddaughter, and they didn't see each other for many years, so naturally their feelings for them were weak.

The only thing that makes Qin's mother worry-free is that Xiaodang is relatively obedient. She does whatever she is asked to do and eats whatever she is given. She is never picky about food, unlike Banggeng, who has been clamoring for meat several times in just two days.

After Qin's mother had eaten her fill, she waited for Xiaodang to finish his meal and then started cleaning up, not caring whether Banggeng had eaten or not.

Banggeng didn't dare to throw a tantrum at home because Qin's mother really dared to beat him.

"If you don't give me meat, I will find a way to get meat myself. Even if I get the meat, I won't give it to you." Bang Geng muttered.

After cleaning up, Qin's mother lay down on the bed and fell asleep. This was a habit she had developed over the past two years. There was no other reason for this. Only in this way could she save energy to the maximum extent and reduce food consumption.

Qin's mother fell asleep quickly, and Xiaodang also fell asleep quickly. Xiaodang could never get enough to eat before, but now that Qin's mother came, Xiaodang could eat his fill. Xiaodang was still young, so he would naturally feel sleepy after eating.

Banggeng waited until Qin's mother and Xiaodang fell asleep, then he got up. He didn't dare to turn on the light for fear of disturbing Qin's mother. He found an oil lamp at home and lit it, then began to look for the place where Jia Zhang had hidden the money.

Perhaps Banggeng had a talent in this area, or perhaps Jia Zhang did not avoid Banggeng when hiding or taking money in the past, so Banggeng found where Jia Zhang hid the money in no time.

Jia Zhang's money was hidden under the pillow against the wall. Bang Geng struggled to pick off the brick that was against the pillow and took out an iron box from it. When Bang Geng opened it, his eyes lit up.

There was a lot of money and bills in the iron box. Banggeng took out two dollars directly from it, then covered the iron box and put the money inside, and then restored the brick to its original shape.

Then, Banggeng put the money in his arms and went to sleep happily, fantasizing about eating meat the next day.

Bang Geng had no idea that his every move was being watched by Qin's mother.

The Jia family is so small that in order to prevent the child from doing anything wrong, Qin's mother deliberately slept next to Banggeng. Qin's mother was not sleeping very soundly, so when Banggeng moved, she naturally noticed it.

Mother Qin looked at the place where the money was hidden thoughtfully, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Mother Qin decided that the money was hers.

If it were in the past, Qin's mother might have been concerned about Jia Zhang and dared not touch the money, but now Qin's mother is unscrupulous and acts recklessly.

Because, Qin's mother understood that it was Jia Zhang who was demanding Qin Huairu, not Qin Huairu who was demanding Jia Zhang. The positions of offense and defense had reversed!

An idea suddenly came to Qin's mother's mind, that is, she must send her grandchildren to school, and must let them learn knowledge and law.

If she didn't understand these things, Qin Huairu would be controlled, ordered around, and bullied by Jia Zhangshi all her life. Qin Huairu would work like a slave for the Jia family all her life, and have to support the lazy Jia Zhangshi.

Qin's mother knew too well what kind of person Jia Zhang was. In the past, Qin's mother and Qin Huairu did not understand the law, so they were naturally deceived and bullied by Jia Zhang. Now, the situation has changed, and it is Qin's mother's turn to bully Jia Zhang.

This is the power of knowledge!

Qin's mother made up her mind that she would sell everything she had to send her child to school. She did not ask for wealth or fame, but only for her child not to be bullied for no reason.

Qin's mother did what she thought. After Banggeng fell asleep, she took out the money that Jia Zhang had hidden. There was a total of 323 yuan, five silver dollars and a gold ring.

Qin's mother thought about it and decided to take it all away, leaving no penny for Jia Zhang. Qin's mother believed that this was what Qin Huairu deserved. Qin Huairu had served Jia Zhang like a slave for so long, so the money should belong to Qin Huairu.

What belongs to Qin Huairu is hers.

As for the two dollars that Banggeng stole, it was just the right thing to put the blame on Banggeng.

After Qin's mother collected the money, she went to sleep happily.

After returning home, He Yuzhu made do with a couple of bites. He Yuzhu found that his family only had corn flour and steamed bread, no white flour. The key point was that this corn flour was not like the corn flour of later generations, but the corn core was beaten into it, which was very unpalatable.

He Yuzhu went out with a cigarette in his mouth. He Yuzhu originally wanted to go to Yan Jiecheng's house and ask Yan Jiecheng to spread the rumor that Banggeng was Yi Zhonghai's child. However, when he thought about the cautious nature of the Yan family, he was afraid that Yan Jiecheng might not spread it, so he decided to go find Xu Damao.

Xu Damao would definitely spread this kind of thing. After He Yuzhu arrived at Xu Damao's house and knocked on the door gently, he regretted it. According to his previous behavior, he should have kicked the door open.

At this moment, Xu Damao opened the door and was stunned when he saw He Yuzhu.

"Silly... He Yuzhu, what are you doing here at my house looking for me?" Xu Damao asked in surprise, and then wondered whether he had offended Sha Zhu recently, and whether Sha Zhu came to seek revenge?
"Shamao, I'm here to ask you something. You are the smartest person in our courtyard. I can't tell whether it's true or not. You come and help me judge." He Yuzhu didn't even go in. He spoke loudly at the door of Xu Damao, wishing that everyone in the courtyard could hear what he said.

"What's the matter?" Xu Damao was even more surprised and couldn't help asking.

At the same time, Xu Damao was also overjoyed, thinking to himself: "Sha Zhu said that he is the smartest person in the hospital and came to ask me for advice. Does this mean that Sha Zhu is bowing to me?"

"When I got off work, I heard a rumor in the factory that Banggeng was Yi Zhonghai's child. The reason was that Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai both had curly hair, while the Jia family, whether it was Old Jia, Jia Zhangshi, or Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, all had straight hair."

"Coincidentally, not long after Banggeng was born, Yi Zhonghai changed his hairstyle from long hair to a flat head."

"Another thing is that Banggeng was a premature baby, but he was quite heavy. Rumor has it that our factory sent people to the countryside to support construction eight or nine months before Banggeng was born, and Yi Zhonghai was among them. Coincidentally, Yi Zhonghai went to Qinjia Village."

"The rumor also said that Jia Dongxu did not die in an accident, but after Jia Dongxu learned the truth, he went to blackmail Yi Zhonghai. As a result, the conditions offered by Jia Dongxu were too excessive, which led to Yi Zhonghai's murderous intention towards Jia Dongxu. That's why Jia Dongxu died."

"These rumors sound very plausible. Can you help me judge whether they are true?" He Yuzhu said loudly.

Xu Damao couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't expect to hear such explosive news.

Not only Xu Damao was shocked, but also Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and other people who came to watch the excitement were shocked. When He Yuzhu was looking for Xu Damao, some people came to watch the excitement. At this time, there were more people watching the excitement.

With a "boom", the people watching the fun started talking about it. In less than half an hour, except for Qin's mother, Banggeng and Xiaodang who were already asleep, everyone in the courtyard knew about the rumors and started talking about it.

"You know what, Bang Geng really doesn't look like Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, but very much like Yi Zhonghai, especially his nose and lips, they are simply cast in the same mold."

"Yes, the most important thing is the hair. I didn't notice it before and didn't think about it. Now that you mention it, it's true. Yi Zhonghai used to have curly hair. He changed his hairstyle not long after Banggeng was born. He was afraid that we would find out what was going on."

"Yes! Yes! I really didn't notice this before. Now that you mention it, it's true."

"Yes, a lot of things match up. Eight or nine months before Banggeng was born, your wife followed Yi Zhonghai to the countryside, to Qinjia Village, right?"

"Yes, I was gone for more than 20 days in a row, nearly a month."

"Now that you mention it, a lot of things make sense. And the Jia family's sewing machine was bought by Yi Zhonghai at the time. He said it was for his apprentice, and he made such a fuss for Qin Huairu."

"That's right. Why did Qin Huairu marry Jia Dongxu? Who wouldn't ask around before marrying off their daughter? Everyone in the alley and the street knows the bad reputation of the Jia Zhang family. Marrying her into such a family is like pushing her daughter into a pit of fire..."

"It turns out that all of this was premeditated. If that's the case, then Jia Dongxu's death might have been the work of Yi Zhonghai..."

Everyone in the courtyard started chattering. He Yuzhu saw that his goal had been achieved, so he left the backyard and returned to his home without waiting for Xu Damao to give him an answer.

Only then did Xu Damao realize that he had been used by He Yuzhu.

"Hey, when did this idiot Zhu come to his senses? I hope it's not just a flash in the pan. Yi Zhonghai will fool around a few times, Qin Huairu will shed a few tears, and the deaf old lady will fool around a few more times, and then he will turn back into the original idiot Zhu." Xu Damao chuckled and thought to himself.

Anyway, it was Yi Zhonghai and others who were unlucky, so Xu Damao was naturally happy about it.

"By the way, what did that bastard Shazhu call me just now? He called me Shamao. Shazhu, just wait, we are not done yet." Xu Damao said gritting his teeth.
