Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

People starve to death or freeze to death all the time.

That happens all the time.

Tell her to go back, she'd rather die than go back.

Unwilling to give up, Granny Jia curled her lips in a contorted grin, but then lost interest and shut her mouth.

But neither of them noticed that the clever young man, Bang Geng, had disappeared.

This kid has a sweet tooth; he couldn't resist the aroma of meat.

Originally, Sha Zhu would bring them food every day, and they often got to eat oily food.

Every now and then, we can have a meal with meat and vegetables.

Granny Jia had a plump face and a fair, chubby body, and was a head taller than the average child.

But it's all thanks to the oil and fat from these leftover dishes that he's been nourished.

If you look around the school, there aren't many kids of the same age as Bang Geng who are as strong.

If he becomes too picky about food, won't he crave it?

Chapter 80 Granny Jia's calculations were a waste.

Stepping outside, the aroma of meat filled the air, and Banggeng smacked his lips.

But he also knew that Yang Jianguo couldn't give him any.

Even if we can't afford meat, we still need something to satisfy our cravings.

With a quick glance, Banggeng had an idea.

Sha Zhu loves peanuts, and there are always some left at home.

He was having a good meal at Yang Jianguo's house, and decided to go get some peanuts to satisfy his craving.

Once inside, he instinctively reached for the cabinet.

Tiny little grains, hey, they're really sturdy.

He grabbed a handful of peanuts, but wasn't in a hurry to go back.

Let him finish eating before going back, lest his mother catch him and give him a scolding.

Anyway, Sha Zhu is at Yang Jianguo's house and won't be back for a while.

That's why they say this child is clever from a young age.

My mind works very fast, but I don't use it in a positive way.

But he never expected that Sha Zhu would suddenly want to have some peanuts with his wine.

He felt a little guilty for only eating at Jianguo's house.

The two houses were not far apart, and Sha Zhu was in a hurry to go back for a drink, so he strode open the door.

Gah!

He bumped right into Banggeng, who was sitting in a chair eating peanuts.

Look at him, lying down in his chair, holding a handful of peanuts, and popping them into his mouth one by one.

If you didn't know better, you'd think he lived here!

Sha Zhu, enraged, laughed and said merrily, "Bang Geng, what are you doing here?"

"I'm craving some peanuts, come and get some." Banggeng was startled at first, but he wasn't afraid anymore when he saw Shazhu.

Why? !

His grandma said that this silly Zhu was lusting after his mother's body, and it would be a waste to take it from him.

Besides, I'm just being greedy and I can't let him cause trouble.

If he brings me food back, then he won't come to get his peanuts.

"Silly Zhu, you'll have to bring back vegetables from now on."

"I haven't eaten meat for a week, what am I supposed to eat if you don't bring me vegetables?"

Hearing these self-righteous words, Sha Zhu couldn't hold back anymore.

I'll go to hell with you...

Grandma's legs, "You little rascal..."

He grabbed him, and Sha Zhu was about to get angry.

I saw the table against the wall, and my mind immediately started working.

Instead of going to argue with the Jia family, he opened his mouth and shouted loudly:

"Hey, this brat, he hasn't changed since we caught him last time, he's stealing from me now?"

It was dinnertime, and everyone was home!

Upon hearing Sha Zhu's shout, whoosh~

Everything has come out.

There's not much entertainment these days, and it gets even more boring after dark.

They find amusement in the trivial matters of their neighbors, and when they hear someone shouting, how can they not join in the fun?

The idea that these three old men are "high-ranking and powerful" is just something people do when they're bored.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Sha Zhu carrying a stick by the handle as he came out of his house.

The kid was yelling and gesturing as he tried to kick Sha Zhu.

It's just too small; its arms and legs aren't long enough.

But in terms of presence, they were in no way inferior to others.

Across the street, the Jia family's door curtain was also lifted.

Qin Huai rushed out first, shouting, "Idiot..."

With a glare, Qin Huai stopped him, saying, "Zhu Zi, just say what you have to say. What's wrong with the child that you're pulling his arm like that?"

Granny Jia, who followed closely behind, was not polite at all.

"You idiot Zhu, are you trying to take advantage of us widows and orphans? You think we're all alone?"

"Everyone, come and see! They're bullying an orphan and a widow! Shameless bastard, you heartless monster..."

"Oh God, I can't live like this anymore, ahh..."

She lay down on the ground and began her signature act, crying and wailing, complaining of her grievances.

No wonder she's Bang Geng's grandmother; she's the old man who ruined him.

I didn't see anyone, but just from the sound, I knew that Bang Geng must have gone to Sha Zhu's house to get something.

If it were in the past, Granny Jia would not have shown any weakness.

They also need to give Sha Zhu a good scolding and make him apologize to his eldest grandson.

Who told him to lust after Qin Huairu's body? He's despicable.

He couldn't stand up for himself in front of his mother-in-law, and he couldn't come up with anything convincing.

But this week, Granny Jia started to lose her composure.

It seems that this silly Zhu really has no intention of pursuing it.

Granny Jia saw that Tian'er was looking out the window every day, and he was trying to avoid his daughter-in-law.

He wasn't like this before...

This made Granny Jia realize that her family's meal ticket was probably lost.

This silly Zhu is no longer someone I can easily control.

So, as soon as she came out, she used her trump card.

No matter what they say, just label him as bullying orphans and widows.

With that stupid mouth of his, what kind of nonsense could he possibly spout?

Granny Jia had a good idea, so she started crying and wailing.

Sha Zhu really choked.

But he won't say it; someone else will.

"Jia Zhangshi, stop crying."

"We'll find out what happened when we hold a big meeting to settle the matter."

The old man suddenly wanted to start a big meeting, which completely baffled Granny Jia.

Something's not right here.

In the past, when I made a fuss like that, it was just a trivial matter and then it was forgotten.

But today, why does he want to start a big meeting as soon as he opens his mouth?

No, we can't hold a large meeting.

Qin Huairu glared fiercely at the old man on the ground, feeling utterly exhausted.

I really can't carry this teammate; it's exhausting!

"Uncle, I see that none of us have eaten. Let's skip the meeting and just discuss and resolve this with Zhu Zi ourselves, okay?"

Qin Huairu's plan was sound; instead of holding a large meeting, she spoke with Sha Zhu alone.

Then this matter can be resolved.

At worst, we can just admit our mistake and apologize to him.

But before the first uncle could speak, the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, became unhappy.

"What do you mean by 'you can discuss and resolve this yourselves'? What's the point of having rules then?"

"Ah~ He solved all the problems himself."

"We three old men shouldn't step down, or maybe the neighborhood committee should be abolished too!"

His previous words had no effect whatsoever, but once he raised the banner of the subdistrict office, no one dared to utter a sound.

Even Xu Damao, who originally wanted to provoke, withdrew his hand that he hadn't raised.

These days, the power that neighborhood committees wield over matters concerning people's livelihoods is astonishing.

Local governments rely on street offices to maintain close ties with the people, and great leaders have even personally commended street workers at the Great Hall of the People.

They gave him a big red flower and a small medal.

You dare to slander street workers? You must have a diamond in your head.

So brave?

"Let's eat first, and then we'll have a big meeting to discuss it." The old man waved his hand, setting the tone for the matter.

Everyone headed back, and Sha Zhu loosened his grip on Bang Geng's ear.

The boy ran back to Qin Huairu's arms in a flash, pouting with a wronged expression.

But the look in his eyes as he looked at Sha Zhu was full of resentment.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near ink gets stained red," and this little ingrate is becoming more and more like his grandmother.

Even their eyes are almost identical.

"Hey, still glaring?" Sha Zhu raised his hand forward to scare him.

Banggeng immediately shrank back behind Qin Huairu, too afraid to come out again.

Protecting her son, Qin Huairu said coldly, "Zhuzi, tell me what's wrong. Is it necessary to scare the child?"

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "Did you see the way he looked at me? Like he was looking at an enemy."

"What, you think it's okay to steal from my house?"
