Chapter 16 Blood-sucking
"I……"
Facing her man's blame, Sister Qin wanted to say something, but in the end she kept her mouth shut.
Xiang Yunduan watched coldly, waiting to see how Jia Dongxu would perform next. Unexpectedly, at this time, Yi Zhonghai spoke again.
"Well, Huairu, did you forget to tell the kid Banggan that someone is already living in the west building?" Yi Zhonghai said, giving Qin Huairu a hint of color.
"Ah, yes, yes, neighbors, Brother Xiang's things were really not stolen by us.
As you all know, we have a large family and no one lives in the west hall, so we often put some things temporarily in the west hall.
The kid Bangge is still young and doesn’t understand anything. He may have seen us putting things in that room before, so he thought that everything in that room belongs to our family.
Brother Xiang just moved in today, and I was negligent and didn't tell Bang Gang about this, so Bang Gang took Brother Xiang's things by mistake! "
Sister Qin burst into tears and looked pitiful as she looked at everyone: "Dear neighbors, what happened today is a big misunderstanding. It is definitely not stealing. We have lived in the same courtyard for these years. Has anything been stolen from our house before? rumors?"
"What Sister Qin said makes sense, she must have misunderstood!"
As soon as Sister Qin finished speaking, Silly Zhu, who looked anxious next to her, immediately spoke up.
Although he had enmity with the Jia family, the enmity was all on Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu. He felt good about Qin Huairu from the bottom of his heart, no matter how much he looked at her, he liked her.
Jia Dongxu's slap just now made him feel distressed.
If I get the chance in two days, I will slap this grandson twice to vent her anger on Sister Qin!
"Okay, now that everything is clear, let's all disperse!"
Yi Zhonghai was very impressed with Qin Huairu's quick response. He only reminded her a little, but Qin Huairu immediately reacted and turned stealing into "accidental taking". In comparison, Jia Dongxu was far behind. .
"and many more!"
Xiang Yunduan also didn't expect that the black one would be washed into white. What a bad girl, she really did have a few tricks up her sleeve.
However, this matter cannot be left alone.
"Xiang Yunduan, the things have been recovered and the misunderstanding has been resolved. Do you still have trouble with a four or five-year-old child?"
Yi Zhonghai felt that he had occupied the moral high ground for the first time tonight. This familiar feeling made him relax, and his expression returned to calmness when he spoke.
"The things were indeed found, but the quantity is wrong. There are less things!" Xiang Yunduan said.
"I'll pay you whatever it's short of!" Jia Dongxu reached into his trouser pocket and took out a stack of thin bills, pulled two out of it, and said, "Is two cents enough? If it's not enough, I'll give you another ten cents!"
"Pay me ten yuan and forget it!" Xiang Yunduan said coldly.
"What? Are you crazy?" Jia Dongxu shouted in surprise.
“You know whether something was stolen or taken by mistake, don’t treat everyone like a fool!
Do you want me to call in the police comrades and ask them to ask your son how he, a four or five-year-old child, managed to quietly take more than thirty kilograms of stuff from the front yard in a short period of time? 'To the middle court? Xiang Yunduan said.
When everyone heard this, they began to whisper again. They hadn't noticed just now that there were a lot of things in this cloth bag, especially the two ceramic jars. They were quite heavy and definitely not something that a four or five-year-old child could handle casually. of.
"Xiang Yunduan, don't be too open-minded. Even if I buy these things from you, it won't cost you more than ten yuan. I'll pay you one yuan. Let's stop here!"
Seeing that the situation was about to reverse again, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly spoke out, trying to fool him.
"Where am I bargaining with you? Are stealing and buying things the same thing? Don't you stop this bad habit and wait until it happens again in the future? Do you know that you are condoning crime?"
Xiang Yunduan scolded him, then turned to look around and said: "Everyone, ten yuan is a lot, but I, Xiang Yunduan, am not doing it for money. I am a regular worker in the slaughterhouse, so I am not that short of money.
This is what I think about these ten yuan. I am going to use these ten yuan to prepare several tables of food and wine in our courtyard. By then, there will be one person from every household in the courtyard, and everyone will sit together and discuss today. The purpose of discussing and summarizing and reflecting on the matter is to warn everyone that they must not go down the road of crime in the future. Only in this way can our compound be a truly advanced courtyard house! "
"Clap clap clap!"
After Xiang Yunduan finished speaking, Xu Damao over there started to applaud. He was happier than during the Chinese New Year when he could see the Jia family was in ruins. Since he moved into this courtyard, Jia Dongxu had beaten him frequently.
"Okay, well said!"
"I agree!"
"It's time to eat well... and reflect!"
……
Xu Damao took the lead, and there were cheers from all around.
Who can refuse free food and drinks?
Although Yan Bugui did not speak due to his status as the third uncle, the smile on his face was bright.
"Hurry up and pay!" Xiang Yunduan grasped the situation and pressed forward step by step.
"Master, I..."
Jia Dongxu spread out the notes in his hand and showed them to Yi Zhonghai. The meaning was clear, I don't have that many.
Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he took two deep breaths to suppress the bad breath in his chest.
He gave Xiang Yunduan a hard look, and then reluctantly took out a big black ten.
After taking the ticket from Yi Zhonghai, Xiang Yunduan was satisfied. He turned to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui and said, "Second uncle and third uncle, I have to trouble you two next. Please put some thought into the total. Let's see when the time comes." This reflection and alert meeting will be attended by everyone and a list will be drawn up so that I can prepare food and drinks according to the number of people!"
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will naturally not refuse such a good thing. This is a great opportunity to win people's hearts.
"Oh, God, please open your eyes and see. Is there any justice? There are beasts in a yard, specially bullying us orphans and widows. They eat our meat and drink our blood. God, please strike these beasts to death with thunder." Bar!"
Just when everyone was satisfied and ready to leave, Jia Zhang, who had fainted, suddenly woke up, sat on a tricycle, and cursed.
Xiang Yunduan felt much relieved when he saw Jia Zhang's expression of pain.
Although the money came from Yi Zhonghai and it was impossible for the Jia family to pay it back, given Jia Zhang's character, the ten dollars was just like taking it out of Jia Dongxu's pocket, so it would be strange if it didn't hurt.
"Hey, be a good boy. Stop talking about God. Is God familiar with you? Do you know what kind of onion you are?
If you want to curse others in the future, you might as well ask your old man to curse someone. As the saying goes, a couple can be kind to each other for a hundred days, and a couple to a couple for a hundred days is as deep as the ocean. The old man might be willing to help you curse people! "
When passing by Jia Zhang, Xiang Yunduan deliberately stopped, pointed at the portrait of old Jia hanging in the main hall of Jia's family, and said.
