The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Who are you? What do you want?"

When Jia Zhang saw the aggressive look of Old Man Wu, she was so scared that she dropped the pumpkin in her hand directly to the ground, and then she was involuntarily pulled inside by him.

"Grandma, save me!"

Bang Geng was so frightened that he screamed loudly and kept hitting his arm with one hand.

"Who am I? You came to my house to steal things and you ask me who I am? Tell me, what did you steal?"

Old Man Wu pushed the two of them directly into his room and said harshly.

"Okay, it's you! You bullied my grandson, so what if I took something from you?"

Hearing that Old Man Wu was the owner of this place, Jia Zhang bravely refuted.

"I bullied your grandson? I stay at home every day and I don't even know who your grandson is. How can I bully your grandson? This kid must be your grandson, right? Ask him if I have seen him?"

Old Man Wu pointed at the stick and asked.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she hurriedly glanced at Bang Geng, only to see him lowering his head in fear and pretending to be dead. Jia Zhang knew very well that she had probably been deceived.

"So what do you want? We just went to the wrong place. Who said that this thing is yours and can't be mine?"

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and shouted at the top of her voice.

When Old Man Wu saw his pillow thrown aside, a smile appeared on his face.

"Yours? Not only did you steal my melons, you also stole my money. Tell me where my money went?"

Old Man Wu pointed at the empty space at the head of the bed and asked her.

When Jia Zhang saw him asking, she became a little flustered.

"How would I know your money? Let us go now, or I'll scream!"

"Go ahead and yell! Yell louder. The police station is right across the street. I can yell for you if you want!"

As Old Man Wu said this, he prepared to call for help.

"Someone come, catch the thief!"

After a while, two people came to the door. They were Ergou and Maozi.

"Where is it? Where is the thief? Don't be afraid, sir. We are here to help you!"

"It was these two. This woman brought her grandson to my house to steal things. I caught them on the spot. Not only did they steal my melons, they also stole my money, several hundred yuan, which is still on them!"

Old Man Wu said very sadly.

"Okay! You dare to steal the money and food of an elderly widow. How shameless! Hand over the money quickly."

Ergou looked at Jia Zhang righteously, feeling an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"I~I didn't. My grandson and I just wanted to come in and ask for a drink of water! We didn't steal anything from his house. Who knows where his money went?"

Jia Zhang protected the stick aside and said stubbornly.

"Why tell her so much? We can find out after we search it!"

Maozi suggested directly.

"Yes, we'll know if we search!"

Liu Ergou and Old Man Wu looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then several of them pounced on Jia Zhang.

"Grandma, I want to go home! Wow~!"

Bang Geng was so scared that he started crying.

"If you dare to touch us, I will scratch you to death!"

Jia Zhang held the stick behind her and screamed loudly.

"Just give it a try. You're a thief and you stole my things, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

As Old Man Wu said this, he rushed forward and hugged Jia Zhang, searching him with both hands. Jia Zhang fought back. Even though Old Man Wu was still strong, Jia Zhang was not in vain. She fought back and forth with him with her fat body.

Liu Ergou was smart and directly caught Banggeng who was trying to run away. Seeing this, the remaining Maozi had no choice but to go over to help Old Man Wu control Jia Zhang.

After a while, Jia Zhang was held down and searched thoroughly like Bang Geng.

"Look at what this is? You still dare to quibble. I'm going to send you to the police station now. The last thief stole twenty yuan and was sentenced to three years in prison. You stole a few hundred yuan from me, so prepare to spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Old Man Wu threatened fiercely.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything now and could only beg with tears.

"Please don't do it. I'll give you whatever compensation you want. How about I give you ten dollars? If not, I'll give you two more dollars?"

Jia Zhang begged for mercy.

"Bah, who cares about your little money! I'm telling you, you're going to jail for sure. You're shameless. Not only did you bring your grandson to my house to steal things, you even tried to steal my coffin book. I'm going to make you stay in jail until you die!"

Old man Wu deliberately spoke viciously, but he was actually laughing in his heart. At his age, even if he was in good health, who would marry him?

He looked down on the younger ones, and he looked down on the older ones. Although Jia Zhang was a little fat, she didn't look old and looked plump, so he seemed quite satisfied with her.

"So what do you say? As long as you don't send me to the police station, I'll agree to it, isn't that enough?"

Jia Zhang said helplessly. Bang Geng, who was watching from the side, saw his grandmother begging for mercy and he was so scared that he kept crying.

"How about it? I haven't thought about this yet!"

Old man Wu pretended to be hesitant and said, but his eyes were signaling to Liu Ergou and the other two, "It's your turn to come on stage."

"Old man, I see that you are all alone and have no one to take care of you. How about this, you let her marry you, and you can get a grandson for free, who will take care of you in your old age. It's not stealing if your wife takes some of the family money. It's natural for your wife to manage the money, right?"

Liu Ergou looked at them with a smile.

Old man Wu's eyes lit up. It had been agreed in advance that Jia Zhang would be his wife, but Liu Ergou's following words happened to hit his soft spot.

He is already 72 years old and has no offspring. He had a daughter, but she was sold a few years ago and no one knows where she is now. It seems that it is not impossible for this boy to be his grandson and take care of him in his old age.

"What? I want to be his wife? No, absolutely not. How about this, how about I introduce you to a wife? There is an old lady about your age in our courtyard, who is just right for you to marry."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately called the deaf old lady out.

"Why do I need an old lady? Can't I take care of her and see her to the end of her life?"

Old man Wu was amused by her.

Jia Zhang saw that Old Man Wu was somewhat moved, but she did not say anything. She knew that he despised the deaf old lady because of her age, so she immediately gritted her teeth and said.

"How about I introduce my daughter-in-law to you as your wife?"

Anyway, her son is gone, and Qin Huairu gave birth to a money-losing child, so she wouldn't feel sorry if she was just sent away.

Old Man Wu was a little moved after hearing this. If it was his daughter-in-law, wouldn't she be younger? No matter how she looked, being young was enough.

"Cough~cough!"

Seeing Old Man Wu's hesitation, Liu Ergou immediately pretended to cough a few times to remind him. He thought to himself that his brother-in-law's calculations were really accurate. He had guessed that this woman would sell her daughter-in-law.

"How can you be so cruel? You even want to sell your own daughter-in-law. I think you are a good person. Tell me whether you agree or not! If you don't agree, let's send her to the police station together. After you and your grandson are in prison, I will ask your daughter-in-law if she is willing to marry me. If she is, I will send her son out!"

As Old Man Wu spoke, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he seemed very satisfied with his idea.

“Don’t, don’t touch my grandson! Isn’t it enough that I promised you? Wuuuuuu…!”

Jia Zhang really cried this time
