In the late afternoon, Qin Huairu got off work early. As soon as she returned to the courtyard, she went to pick up Huaihua first, and then went home to prepare dinner.
However, when she got home, she saw her son with a bruised and swollen face, and his clothes were not only very dirty, but also torn in several places.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu was immediately furious and grabbed her son, questioning him.
"Bang Geng, did you get into a fight again? How many times have I told you not to fight, not to fight, but why don't you listen!"
"Let go of me." Bang Geng was extremely impatient, shaking off Qin Huairu's hand, and then asked defiantly, "Does that mean I can't fight back when someone hits me?"
"Then why don't you report it to the teacher?"
Qin Huairu was also very annoyed. Her son was now difficult to discipline and simply wouldn't listen to her.
"How am I supposed to report this to the teacher? What teacher cares about things that happen outside of school? You don't know anything, all you do is come back and yell at me."
After saying that, Banggeng felt very wronged, so he ran into his room, not wanting to listen to his mother's nagging anymore.
After he left, Qin Huairu looked to the side and saw her daughter doing her homework.
"Xiao Dang, where did your brother get into a fight today?"
"Mom, I don't know the specifics, but I guess it was in the grove of trees next to the school, because that's how I saw him when he came out."
Well! After hearing what her daughter said, Qin Huairu guessed that her son probably wasn't lying this time.
But no matter how you look at it, fighting is ultimately wrong.
After scolding her son, Qin Huairu didn't have time to think further and hurried to the kitchen...
At the same time, Liu Guangfu in the backyard was also eagerly waiting for Xu Damao to return.
After returning to the hospital today, he discovered that Banggeng had been beaten black and blue, which he suspected was the work of Tiehouzi.
Now that the mission is accomplished, it's time to reap the rewards.
"Strange, why aren't they back yet?" Liu Guangfu said anxiously.
When Auntie Er noticed that her son was behaving strangely, she casually asked, "Guangfu, are you waiting for your father?"
"Yes, yes, yes, we're waiting for our boss!"
Liu Guangfu was so angry that his face fell, and he felt incredibly unlucky.
After waiting a while, Xu Damao didn't come back, but Liu Haizhong came back first.
Liu Haizhong thought his son was waiting for him to come back, and he was so happy that he praised him a few times.
no way?
Now that the eldest son has run away and the second son has grown up, we can't let the third son cause any more trouble.
Now that Liu Guangfu had finally met Liu Haizhong, he couldn't wait any longer and had to go home for dinner.
As it turns out, he was right not to wait, because Xu Damao was currently working as a hostess at the factory!
It was not long before 8 p.m. when Xu Damao, completely drunk, pushed his bicycle and staggered back to the backyard.
Before he even got home, a dark figure darted out from the side.
"who?"
Xu Damao was instantly sobered up by the shock. If he hadn't drunk so much, he probably would have left the car behind and disappeared.
"Brother Da Mao, it's me, Guang Fu."
Xu Damao was furious when he heard Liu Guangfu's voice!
"No, Guangfu, where did you learn all this from? Don't you know that scaring someone to death?"
"Hehehe!" Liu Guangfu laughed awkwardly. "Brother Da Mao, I just had something to report to you."
"Speak! What is it?"
Xu Damao said, swaying. If he hadn't been startled earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up.
"Brother Da Mao, I've completed the task you gave me last time. I found three street thugs to ambush that bastard, and then today..."
Liu Guangfu spoke haltingly, and Xu Damao could tell that the kid's report was a pretense; his real purpose was to solicit benefits.
But at this point, he really couldn't hold on any longer and just wanted to go home and sleep.
So, he impatiently took out his salary from his pocket and gave it all to Liu Guangfu.
"Guangfu, you did a good job. This is Da Mao's reward."
It was dark outside, and Liu Guangfu didn't know how much Xu Damao had given him, so he just took it.
"Thank you, Brother Da Mao. Here, I'll take you home."
It must be said that Liu Guangfu, that lackey, worked very hard after receiving the benefits.
He helped Xu Damao get to bed before preparing to go home.
"Guangfu, thank you for tonight. If it weren't for your help, my sister-in-law would have had a really hard time managing on her own."
"Hey! Don't mention it! Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
After greeting Qin Jingru, Liu Guangfu couldn't wait to head home, eager to see how much Xu Damao had given him.
Back in his small room, after closing the door and turning on the light, Liu Guangfu took out the reward Xu Damao had given him earlier from his pocket.
"Good heavens! Has Xu Damao gone mad?"
Seeing the stack of banknotes in his hand, Liu Guangfu felt a little unreal.
So he quickly counted it again, and there was a total of 36.4 yuan.
"Isn't this Xu Damao's salary?"
Liu Guangfu fell into deep thought, wondering what the situation was tonight.
Finally, he thought of a possibility: Xu Damao had drunk too much, and this was probably an unconscious act.
Since Brother Mao has been so generous, there's no reason for him to back down. He might as well just follow along and pretend to be oblivious!
Next, he carefully pried open a brick in the corner of the wall, took out a small tin can, and put the money inside.
This small jar contains all of Liu Guangfu's belongings, plus Xu Damao's sponsorship tonight, totaling 52.6 yuan.
He had saved every penny of this money through his frugal living, hoping that one day he could learn from his older brothers and escape this family.
That night, Bang Geng was planning to retaliate by smashing some windows at Liu's house and collecting some interest.
But in the end, he was too tired and fell asleep before midnight, so the matter was temporarily dropped.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Xu Damao woke up.
"How come I'm home?" Xu Damao rubbed his eyes, still a little confused.
Qin Jingru, who was sleeping next to him, was also awakened by him, so she put on a coat and sat up.
"Brother Da Mao, you're awake. It's the weekend, you can sleep in a little longer."
Seeing that his wife had also been woken up, Xu Damao didn't stand on ceremony and gave the order directly.
"I can't sleep, Jingru, go get me a glass of water, I'm so thirsty."
"Okay! I'll go right away." Qin Jingru said as she got out of bed.
A moment later, after finishing his water, Xu Damao began to recall what had happened yesterday.
But after thinking it over, all I could remember was that I got paid yesterday and that I was called by Deputy Factory Director Li to drink with him last night.
He knew nothing about what happened after that.
"By the way, salary?"
Thinking of his wages, Xu Damao quickly started rummaging through his pockets, but the money had already been given to Liu Guangfu, so there was no way he could find it.
"Jingru, did you take the wages from my pocket?"
"No! Brother Da Mao, you must be mistaken. When you were brought back last night, I was the one who took off your clothes! There was nothing in your pockets."
Seeing Qin Jingru's innocent expression, Xu Damao dismissed his doubts, because she didn't have the guts.
"Wait!" Xu Damao suddenly remembered that there was something wrong with what his wife had said earlier, and he felt hopeful again.
"Jingru, you just said I was sent back, but who sent me back?"
"Liu Guangfu next door, you just got to the door and he saw you were drunk, so he helped bring you over. I'm telling you, we're so grateful for his help..."
Qin Jingru was still talking, but Xu Damao had already confirmed that the money was most likely lost.
