Rubbing his brows, Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and calmed his turbulent mood.
"I'm telling you, I reached a private agreement with Li Qinghe. I'll pay him one thousand yuan, and the matter will be over. He won't pursue it anymore. Don't think you're so smart. He already guessed it was your family who did it."
"no......"
"Shut up!" Yi Zhonghai interrupted her with a wave of his hand. The old woman knew what she was going to say as soon as she opened her mouth. "Denied, do you think a little kid like Banggeng can do things so covertly? When the police come, they don't even need to search your house. The traces left in Li Qinghe's house can be used to infer who it is.
"Do you think the police are there to do nothing? You are the only one who wants to fight with them? If you want to get away with it, just dream on!"
Now Jia Zhang was completely exhausted. Now that people had said this, what else could she do?
Indeed, how well can a half-grown child do? If he can really leave no trace, it would be strange. Even adults may not be able to do it.
After all, the approximate scope has been locked down to the yard, and by checking Li Qinghe's home, the candidate can be narrowed down to the child.
Suddenly, Jia Zhang reacted and screamed, "Uncle, you gave him a thousand yuan?!"
Are you sure this old guy didn't make a mistake?
One thousand yuan, how much does that cost?
Yi Zhonghai exhaled a puff of smoke and squinted his eyes, "What do you think? Otherwise, how can that kid let go? He is not a fool, he can be persuaded with words, and he is also the orphan of a martyr, who can suppress him?"
Jia Zhang's heart was bleeding. Li Qinghe took the one thousand yuan, which made her feel like she had lost the one thousand yuan.
He jumped up and said, "I have to sue him! What do you mean just one thousand dollars? Damn it!"
She rushed forward like a pig and wanted to rush out.
"stop!!"
Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly, interrupting her skills directly.
"Listen carefully!" Yi Zhonghai's face was dark, and he looked at her with cold eyes, "If you want to sue him now, your grandson will have to go to jail too. You have to write me an IOU for the thousand yuan, otherwise I will take the money back immediately and ask Li Qinghe to call the police. I'll see how you die!"
Jia Zhang froze instantly, the fat on her face trembling a little, "Uncle, you can't do this, Banggeng is a good boy, he must not have a criminal record."
Now everything she has depends on Bang Geng. If anything really happens to Bang Geng, no matter how sad she will be, Qin Huairu will break off relations with him without hesitation and remarry.
Even if she doesn't remarry, she will be sent back to her hometown in the countryside. Then no one will stand on her side and her identity as a mother-in-law will be of no use.
Don't think that Qin Huairu tolerates her everywhere, it's because there is Bang Geng, at least there is hope. If this last hope is gone, who knows if Qin Huairu will go crazy and even kill her directly.
"Humph, I've already taken care of the matter. I've already paid a thousand dollars."
Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, picked up Banggeng's homework paper from the table beside him, and quickly wrote an IOU.
Bang!
He slammed the table and said coldly, "Sign it for me, or I will take my money back now and I don't care whether Banggeng lives or dies."
Jia Zhang was so frightened that she trembled. She had never seen Yi Zhonghai so scary before.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll sign it. I'll sign it."
He wrote his name on the IOU crookedly and put his fingerprint on it.
Yi Zhonghai's expression then eased a little and he folded the IOU and put it in his arms.
"Li Qinghe just bought a lot of things again. You and Banggeng must have seen it. Keep your claws away. If you dare to reach out again, don't blame me for not caring about you."
"Yes, yes, I must have seen the stick terrier."
Jia Zhang agreed honestly. Yi Zhonghai frightened her this time and she hasn't recovered yet.
"snort!"
Yi Zhonghai looked at her again, snorted coldly, turned around and left the room.
Jia Zhang watched his back disappear, then sat down on the stool dejectedly.
When he saw the rice on the stove, he was filled with anger. He rushed over, picked it up and wanted to smash it, but he felt a pain in his heart and couldn't bear to do so.
"You can't smash it, you can't smash it. This is worth a thousand dollars. It's very valuable."
But things in the world are always so unpredictable. She wanted to put the pot back on the stove, but she didn't see a rolling pin at her feet and stepped on it.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the iron pot and the rice fell directly to the ground. However, Jia Zhang was agile and held onto the stove and did not fall.
The iron pot was fine, as things these days are very durable and don't break easily, but the rice in the pot was shaken out and spilled all over the floor.
"Oh my god, my rice!"
Jia Zhang wailed and quickly got on the ground and scooped the rice into the pot.
After a while, all the rice was picked up without leaving a single grain, but it was covered with a lot of dust.
The originally white rice now turned grayish white with a hint of yellow.
There were no ceramic tiles like in later generations back then, only stone bricks, and some were simply soil.
With people coming and going, there will be a lot of dust and dirt. If rice falls on it, it will never be clean.
Looking at the colorful rice in the pot, Jia Zhang felt distressed and conflicted.
If you want to throw it away, how can you bear to throw away such good rice when supplies are scarce these days?
If you don't want to throw it away, how can you eat it?
......
"Grandma, I'm back."
Banggeng brought Xiaodang back from playing happily. He calculated the time and started running home. He had some rice porridge in the morning, but he was very greedy.
Today, all he was thinking about was the rice that his grandma had promised him.
He rushed into the kitchen and shouted, "Grandma, is the rice ready? I'm hungry."
