at night.
After Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi fell asleep, the little brat Banggeng rolled off the bed and ran barefoot outside.
The bright moon hung high in the courtyard, and even without any lights, one could see clearly.
Glancing in the direction of the Chen family, Bang Geng noticed that Lin Yao's bicycle was still parked at the door, so he quietly crept over.
You won't give me the golden cicada?
Then I'll cause you trouble!
I'll make sure you can't ride a bicycle tomorrow!
Bang Geng, at his age, doesn't understand the value of a bicycle, but from hearing Jia Zhangshi complain about how amazing it is for people in the courtyard to ride bicycles, he knows more or less that bicycles are valuable.
So Banggeng plans to get revenge on Chen Jun and Lin Yao by sabotaging their bicycles.
But at his age, it would be difficult for him to break the bicycle. Bang Geng fumbled around for a while but couldn't find a way.
The only parts of the bike that he could move were the pedals and the chain.
After fiddling with it for a while, Banggeng tried to pull off the chain, but accidentally pressed his arm against the pedal next to him.
The pedal slid downwards, and the chain started moving as well. Before the two fingers on the stick could be pulled out, they were stuck there.
The excruciating pain traveled from his fingertips to his entire body, making Banggeng shudder.
"Ouch!!! It hurts!! It hurts!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Mom, Mom, it hurts, it hurts!"
"Grandma, Grandma, I'm dying, I'm dying, waaaaaah..."
At this age, Bang Geng doesn't have much of a brain. Even if his finger gets caught in a bicycle chain, he doesn't know to endure the pain and pull it out.
All it knows is to scream and yell.
Such a commotion in the quiet courtyard at night alarmed many people.
"What's going on? What's gotten into the yard?"
"What's all this wailing and howling in the middle of the night? Could it be that something evil has gotten in?"
"Could it be that Jia Dongxu has returned? Jia Zhangshi just had her spirit summoned today."
Soon, the lights came on in the courtyard, and Liu Haizhong and the others hurriedly came out of the house.
Seeing that it was a stag squatting at the Chen family's door howling, Xu Damao immediately became interested.
"Tsk tsk, Jia Zhangshi steals Sha Zhu's tricycle during the day, and this little brat steals Chen's bicycle at night. They're really the same kind of people!"
"Xu Damao, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Jia Zhangshi rushed into the courtyard in a loud and boisterous manner. She first yelled at Xu Damao, and then squatted down in front of Banggeng with heartache.
"My dear grandson, are you alright?"
"Why are you out here so late at night instead of sleeping? Did someone trick you into coming out?"
As she spoke, Madam Jia shouted at Qin Huairu in an annoyed tone, "Quickly call the Chen family out! They've ruined my precious grandson like this, do they think they can get away with it by hiding at home?"
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had started biting people randomly, Liu Haizhong turned on his flashlight and checked the bicycle.
"Your finger got caught in the bicycle chain. Jia Zhangshi, don't touch it. Lift the rear wheel of the bicycle and slowly turn it out."
Awakened by the commotion, Chen Jun stood at the door, annoyed. Looking at the crowd surrounding Lin Yao's bicycle, he asked irritably, "What's going on? Stealing a bicycle in the middle of the night?"
Whenever Chen Jun saw Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu present, even though he didn't know what was going on, he knew that this family was up to no good again.
Can't you just stop all day long?
The Jia family has no men now, so they're lucky if no one bullies them, yet they still act recklessly all day long.
"You damned bastard, you finally came out! Look what you've done! You've ruined my precious grandson like this. If anything happens to his fingers, I'll never forgive you!"
Banggeng was the apple of Jia Zhangshi's eye; she cherished him dearly, afraid he might fall if she held him in her hands or melt if she kept him in her mouth. Seeing him crying so hard now, she felt extremely distressed.
So he took it out on Chen Jun, not only cursing and swearing, but even wanting to slap Chen Jun twice.
In her emotional state, Jia Zhangshi seemed to have forgotten about the previous hundred consecutive draws, so before she could even touch Chen Jun's clothes, she was slapped back by Chen Jun.
"Neuropathy!"
"You guys steal my sister's bicycle in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, and now you dare to blame me after something happens?" Chen Jun sneered.
After being slapped, Jia Zhangshi yelled angrily, "Who told you to park your bicycle in the yard? If you had pushed it inside, how could my precious grandson have gotten hurt?"
"Aaaaaah, I'll beat you to death!"
As she spoke, Jia Zhangshi howled and charged towards Chen Jun again.
"Smack!"
Chen Jun slapped him again with his backhand.
Qin Huairu looked up at Chen Jun in a mix of anxiety and anger. Her stubborn fingers were still stuck on the bicycle, and instead of helping her, Chen Jun was whipping her mother-in-law like a top. It was really too much.
"Chen Jun, my dog Bang Geng was injured because of your bicycle, can you please stop making sarcastic remarks?"
sarcastic remarks?
Chen Jun glared at Qin Huairu with annoyance.
I only said two sentences, and which of them sounded sarcastic?
They have absolutely no shame.
"Hey, everyone, say less!"
Liu Haizhong shouted, then carefully began to turn the wheel.
"Aaaaaah! It hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
"You bad guy, you bad guy!"
"Tui! Tui! Tui!"
The rotation of the gears and chains made the stick's shaft hurt even more, so without thinking, it launched a spitting attack on the bangs.
Liu Haizhong suppressed the urge to curse and then increased the speed of his spinning.
After several screams, Banggeng's fingers were pulled out.
Qin Huairu snatched the flashlight and shone it on her finger. She found that there was no bleeding, but her finger had turned purple and was swollen.
Qin Huairu tried to loosen her joints, but the moment she touched the rod, she screamed in agony, so she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"My dear grandson's fingers!! Look what they've become!"
"Chen Jun, you must take my precious grandson to the hospital, and you must pay compensation, five hundred yuan, not a penny less!"
Jia Zhangshi made an outrageous demand, trying to extort five hundred yuan from Chen Jun. If Chen Jun refused, she threatened to mortgage their old house to them!
His plan was well-conceived, but the only problem was that Chen Jun simply wouldn't buy it.
So what if my finger is swollen? Even if my finger is broken, so what?
“Good heavens, Jia Zhangshi, you really dare to ask for money! Five hundred yuan? Even if you sold that brat Banggeng, you wouldn’t get five hundred yuan!” Xu Damao jumped out to confront Jia Zhangshi.
"Yes, five hundred yuan is indeed too much," said one of the onlookers.
"If you ask me, Banggeng stayed up all night tinkering with the bicycle, so getting his finger caught has nothing to do with Chen Jun, right?"
For a time, all that could be said were accusations against the Jia family.
When Jia Zhangshi heard this, she was immediately displeased. Her beloved grandson had suffered such a serious injury, how could it be that their family was in the wrong?
