Banggeng was a little scared when he was carried into the yard by two aunts.
Liu Haizhong shouted at him:
"Bang Geng, let me ask you! Did you steal the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"
Bang Geng was so frightened that he blurted out:
"It wasn't me, I picked up the chicken at the front door!"
Everyone listened.
Good man, you're admitting it without even being asked.
Liu Haizhong saw that there was nothing more to interrogate.
He said directly to Xu Damao and Jia Zhang:
"Da Mao, it has been confirmed that Bang Geng did this. The next thing is compensation.
Jia Zhang, the chicken was stolen by Bang Geng. Considering that Bang Geng is still young, you should compensate Xu Damao and ask Bang Geng to apologize and make a promise, and then the matter will be over."
But Liu Haizhong underestimated Jia Zhang's character.
Seeing Bang Geng was arrested, Jia Zhang stopped making trouble.
He just acted like a scoundrel and sat on the ground with his neck stiff and said:
"I don't have any money. It's Xu Damao's fault that my grandson picked up the chicken because he didn't keep an eye on it. It has nothing to do with my family."
Seeing that Jia Zhang was acting like a rogue, many people in the courtyard couldn't stand it anymore.
One of the ladies said directly:
"Ms. Jia Zhang, stop lying. I saw your Bang Geng go to the backyard today, and he was holding a sack when he came out. That chicken must have been stolen by your Bang Geng."
When Jia Zhang saw someone checking the tools, she immediately turned hostile and started to curse:
"Old woman of the Wu family, my son Bang Geng just ate an egg from your family. How dare you harm him? Be careful or I will throw feces at your house!"
The old lady cursed back without any hesitation:
"You are a thief, and you think you are right? If you dare to throw feces, I will dunk your grandson in the feces pit!"
Seeing that the two were still arguing, Liu Haizhong slammed the table and said:
"Ms. Jia Zhang, I'm reminding you! Paying compensation is already a light punishment. If you continue to make trouble like this, I will have to ask Damao to call the police."
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang stopped arguing.
She pointed directly at Qin Huairu and said:
"I don't have any money. If you want compensation, go find Qin Huairu. She's Banggeng's mother, so she has to pay!"
Jia Zhang's words made everyone in the courtyard look at her with contempt.
I have never seen anyone so shameless.
Liu Haizhong also said dissatisfiedly:
"Ms. Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu has remarried. Now Banggeng is following you, so you have to pay for it."
"I already said I have no money."
Jia Zhang turned her head away stubbornly.
Her monthly salary is only more than 20 yuan now.
It is impossible to lose money.
Anyway, Qin Huairu can't just ignore Bang Geng. As long as he is tough enough, Qin Huairu will have to pay the money obediently.
Jia Zhang didn't know that Bang Geng had a grudge against her because of her attitude.
Banggeng is a person who holds grudges but never remembers favors.
Now he just felt that all the kindness his grandmother showed him was fake.
When Qin Huairu heard this, she hesitated for a moment and then looked at Sha Zhu.
Sha Zhu felt sorry for his wife, so he stood up and said:
"Uncle, I'll pay for Banggeng."
Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu and said sarcastically:
"Silly Zhu, even if you give money to Bang Geng, he won't remember your kindness."
"Come on, you're an adult, but you're arguing with a child. Don't you think it's shameful? Tell me, how much is your chicken?"
Sha Zhu reached into his trouser pocket to take out money, but then he heard Xu Damao say:
"Okay, if you want to be a sucker, I won't stop you. A chicken is five dollars, pay for it."
Sha Zhu was startled.
"Five dollars?! You are the goose that scares the golden eggs! Why don't you just go and rob it!"
Xu Damao was in the right at this time, so he arrogantly put his hands in his pockets and said proudly:
"Then you don't know, this is an old hen. It's specially kept to lay eggs for me to nourish my body. This hen can lay eggs for at least two years. If it lays one egg a day, it will lay 700 eggs in two years. How much do you think it will cost? I asked you for five dollars and you still gave me less!"
The corners of Sha Zhu's mouth twitched.
Five dollars is a lot of money.
He only makes thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents a month now.
He felt bad for taking out five dollars at once.
And I'm paying for that guy Banggeng, so it's a loss no matter how I think about it.
But when Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu's tearful expression, he immediately softened his heart.
Forget it, just consider this money as feeding the dog.
Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, took out five dollars, put it on the table, and sat back in his seat.
Xu Damao happily took the money, counted it and put it in his pocket.
Seeing that Sha Zhu had paid the money, Liu Haizhong had Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng released.
Then Liu Haizhong stood up again and said:
“Although Shazhu paid for Banggeng’s compensation today, those who deserve punishment still need to be punished.
So I decided to let Bang Geng be responsible for taking out the garbage in the yard for the next month. If he misses a day in this month, Bang Geng will be fined an extra week. "
Jia Zhang wanted to refute.
But seeing that the surrounding neighbors were applauding Liu Haizhong's decision, he knew that he had angered the public.
Then he wisely shut up.
Liu Haizhong glanced at the reactions of the neighbors around him, then announced the adjournment of the meeting with satisfaction.
Banggeng felt extremely ashamed because he was caught stealing and scolded in public.
So as soon as the whole school meeting ended, he lowered his head and ran back to the house.
No matter how Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang called him, he just ignored them.
Jia Zhang stood up, glared at Qin Huairu, and went straight into the house.
Qin Huairu was also sad and disappointed.
Ask yourself if you have done anything to let Bang Geng down.
Anyway, I have been cleaning up the mess for Banggeng.
Tonight he asked Sha Zhu to help him pay the money back.
As a result, instead of appreciating his kindness, his son kept blaming him.
