"Dad, why don't you seize such a good opportunity?"

After seeing He Yuzhu off, Auntie Yang Ruihua cleaned up the candies on the table and couldn't help but say, "Although you have to borrow money, there is interest, and Zhuzi has a stable job, so repayment will be no problem."

"What do you know?"

Yan Bugui glanced at his wife reproachfully, "He doesn't earn much, only 37.5 yuan a month including allowances. Now there are two or three more mouths to feed, and there may be more next year."

"In the past, Zhuzi could earn some extra money by selling wine and food for weddings and funerals, and the income was much more than that from working. But nowadays, everyone is having a hard time, so how can they afford to hold banquets?"

"Without this extra income, how can Zhuzi, who is so extravagant, ever repay our debt? Besides, Director Wang is his backer now. If he doesn't want to pay back the money, what can we do to him?"

"That's true, but it's only natural for creditors to collect debts. Even if they are close, we have ways to deal with it. If we really take it to the police, it's our fault."

Yang Ruihua was somewhat indignant.

"Even if what you say is reasonable, what if you really don't have the money to pay?"

Yan Bugui shook his head and said, "So what if I have money? These days, food coupons and meat coupons are the hard currency, and money is useless. If I want to make more money, I might as well sell the interest directly in exchange for a generous return."

"Indeed, grain, meat, and tickets are now worth more than money."

Auntie Yang Ruihua nodded in agreement.

"But I don't necessarily believe what this kid said. I guess he was just making excuses. I think after Jia Dongxu passed away, he was waiting for someone to follow him!"

After He Yuzhu and Li Anxin distributed the gifts from their neighbors and the households in the east wing, they were just about to return home when they suddenly heard a mournful cry like a wolf's howl.

"My little grandson, where are you? My good grandson, come back soon, I can't live without you!"

Li Anxin instinctively looked towards the door, but He Yuzhu immediately grabbed her and took her away. "Don't look, let's go."

After the two finished speaking, they rushed through the hanging flower gate like a gust of wind, returned from the wing room to the front yard, then to the middle yard, and finally rushed into the house, bang!

The door closed with a bang.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

He Yushui was staring at the braised fish on the stove, his Adam's apple rolling up and down with a confused expression.

"I heard that Banggeng didn't come home all day, and after we distributed the candy, I heard Jia Zhang crying. I'm worried that it might be bad luck, so it's better for us to avoid him."

he replied.

"That's right, that Jia family is really a bunch of scum who fish in troubled waters. Let's stay away from them to avoid being messed up."

He Yushui quickly agreed.

"Okay, don't mention your worries."

He Yuzhu lifted the lid of the pot, checked it, and then said, "The fish should be almost done, and the soup can be absorbed."

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai accompanied the emotional Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu back to the middle courtyard. The air was filled with a strong fish aroma. It was self-evident that the He family was going to improve their living standards and food. But Yi Zhonghai didn't have time to pay attention to this now. He looked at Qin Huairu with sympathy.

"Qin Huairu, accompany your mother-in-law back to the house to rest first. Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think."

He said to Qin Huairu.

"Mr. Yi, please help us. My mother-in-law and I can't live without Bang Geng. We have to find him back."

There were tears in her pleading eyes.

"I'll do my best. You guys go back first."

After making the promise, Yi Zhonghai turned around and returned to his home.

When he entered the house and saw his wife and child Xiao Dang in front of him, a hint of complexity flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. His wife's love for Xiao Dang made him hesitate a little, but he didn't show much.

"Old man, have you found the stick terrier?"

The old lady looked worried and handed Yi Zhonghai a pair of chopsticks.

"Not yet. We have searched the entire Nanluoguxiang, but still have no news."

Yi Zhonghai took the chopsticks and sighed heavily, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."

"Could the stick terrier be lost or missing?"

The aunt couldn't believe it.

"What's even more terrifying is being abducted."

Yi Zhonghai looked solemn.

"Kidnapping? No way?"

The aunt looked horrified.

"I went to see Chief Zhang of the police station this afternoon and asked them to help investigate our neighborhood relations."

He nodded and said, "They actually found out some information."

"What's the clue?"

The aunt asked.

"It is said that Bang Geng was talking to a stranger outside last night. It was someone I didn't know and he was not a resident here."

He revealed.

"yesterday?"

The aunt didn't react immediately.

"Isn't it about that time when he lost his temper and ran away because he didn't get to eat the braised pork?"

His face was a little angry, "Zhu Zi is really something, he won't even let him eat that little bit, so what if he sends the meat to Jia's house?"

"Oops!"

The aunt's face suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

Yi Zhonghai hasn't come to his senses yet.

"Once the Jia family finds out about this, they will definitely cause trouble."

The aunt was very anxious. "We just got the marriage certificate and the wedding candies have been delivered to our home. What if we have a quarrel..."

As expected, before he finished speaking, Jia Zhang's signature scolding came from outside the yard. "Zhuzi, you idiot, get out of here right now!"

"If you hadn't denied the terrier meat yesterday, it wouldn't have run away!" someone shouted.

"If it hadn't run away, it wouldn't have talked to strangers. If it hadn't talked to strangers, how could it have gotten lost?" the man continued, scolding, "Silly Zhu! You have to compensate my grandson! How could you do such a heartless thing? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

He Yuzhu, who was having dinner at home, became serious when he heard this.

"Brother, this is too much!" He Yushui was furious. He slammed the table and stood up to argue with the man.

"Yushui, sit down." He Yuzhu said in a deep voice, looking unhappy, "I am the master of this family. You don't need to deal with this kind of thing."

"Brother, calm down. Don't bother with people like this." Li Anxin said hastily, "It's just a waste of words to reason with these people."

"So I never thought about talking to her about anything." He Yuzhu said with a sneer.

"Brother, there's no point in getting fussing with them. Even if they really have to resort to violence, let Yier and I go. We're still young, and if the situation gets out of hand, the worst that can happen is we'll end up in a shelter." Li Anxin was afraid that her man would do something impulsive.

"Ok?"

He Yuzhu looked at his young wife, surprised by her response, "Have you ever had a conflict with anyone outside?"

"Yes." Li Anxin nodded. "It happened many times before I was sent to the shelter. Back then, if you were not strong enough to make a living, you would be bullied. It was the same after I was sent to the shelter. It was a mess there."

After hearing this, He Yuzhu never expected his wife to be so strong, and couldn't help but feel curious about this side of her.

Although he hoped that his wife would be well-behaved and obedient, he knew very well that being too weak was not a good thing for outsiders.

"Okay, An Yi, you don't have to do anything. I won't get angry easily." He pinched Li Anxin in front of her to comfort her, and then said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. Since she is willing to make a scene, let her talk nonsense and let her suffer the consequences."

"I bet that she can't take advantage even if she acts wildly, haha... who can't understand this?" He Yuzhu said, wiped his face, put on a mask of indignation, and rushed out.

He Yuziyuan and his sisters looked at each other, and then followed him.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? What does Banggeng have to do with me?"

He Yuzhu pointed at Jia Zhang lying on the ground and angrily asked, "You are Banggeng's grandmother. You blamed others for not taking good care of him. You don't even have basic conscience!"

Jia Zhang sat on the ground, crying loudly, rolling on the ground and acting like a spoiled child. Her familiar movements and the ups and downs of her crying were obvious, and it was obvious that she had done this very skillfully.

"Qin Huairu, even your mother-in-law doesn't care about reason. Do you want to follow her?" He Yuzhu turned to Qin Huairu who was standing quietly beside him and asked gloomily.

Qin Huairu was a smart person. She certainly understood that her mother-in-law was making trouble. However, if she did not allow Jia Zhang to do what she wanted, would the fire burn herself?

Qin Huairu understood that this matter had little to do with He Yuzhu, but it would also be good for her if someone else came out to take responsibility on her behalf.

With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu could only cry silently in response to He Yuzhu's words. She cried bitterly but did not answer.

The chaos in the compound naturally could not escape the eyes and ears of the front and back yards.

"Husband, are you just going to sit back and do nothing?"

Seeing her husband drinking leisurely, Second Aunt couldn't help but ask him whether he should care about this matter.

In the back room at the other end of the yard, the deaf old woman was about to go to the middle yard to find out what was going on, but after thinking it over, she sat back where she was.

"This kid seems to have suddenly become much smarter. He should be made to suffer a little so that he can be controlled in the future."

Her mind is as shrewd as an old master, and everything is under control.

In contrast, the Xu family could no longer hold back and rushed to the middle courtyard to watch the show. Among them, Xu Damao was particularly active. He hoped that He Yuzhu would teach Jia Zhang a lesson in anger, and it would be best if she was seriously injured and hospitalized. This situation would be interesting.

"Dad, you don't care?"

Yang Ruihua, the third aunt in the front yard, looked at her husband worriedly, "Yuzhu has Director Wang's support behind him now. If he gets implicated, you will also be implicated."

Yan Bugui shook his head when he heard this and said, "Director Wang can't do anything about this. Either Yuzhu gets excited and beats Jia Zhangshi, or he calls the police."

If the incident was triggered by the former, Yang Ruihua continued to ask: "What if that's the case?"

He joked: "In that case, Jia Zhangshi will be just what she wants. If Zhuzi takes action, it means she will get a lifetime of protection!"

"Besides, why should I meddle in other people's business? It's not worth it to cause unnecessary trouble!"

He explained.

At this time, the crowd in the middle courtyard gradually increased, and He Yuzhu began his performance. Facing Jia Zhang's unreasonable and vicious words, He Yuzhu suddenly covered his chest, and his originally flushed face turned pale in an instant.

"Look at Yuzhu's face, how did it become like this!"

"Something bad happened!"

When everyone noticed something was wrong, He Yuzhu stopped talking and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, forming a blood mist. Then he fell to the ground and landed heavily with a "bang"!
