Chapter 73: The Punch



Lin Tian had been feeling that there seemed to be someone missing in the compound recently, until one day when he was off work, he ran into some children returning from school.

He suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about Banggeng, and he was already six or seven years old.

I don’t know if it’s his own illusion, but now Banggeng is really honest.

But it seems that Lin Tian was happy too early...

…………

Today, when Lin Xia came back from work, he heard a quarrel in the yard from a distance. The protagonists were the second aunt and Jia Zhang.

After Lin Tian parked his bicycle, he came to the central courtyard, where two groups of people were already in opposition.

One group was led by Jia Zhang. Qin Huairu was holding Bang Geng, who was beaten and covered in dirt, with a wronged look on her face. It seemed that she had just stopped crying. Jia Dongxu was standing next to her. A little further away were Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai was looking at Bang Geng, and Sha Zhu was staring at Qin Huairu.

The other group of people was Liu Haizhong, the second aunt, Liu Guangtian, and Liu Guangfu. A little further away were Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, but they were probably just there to watch the fun.

After Lin Tian came out from the backyard, he crossed the middle yard from one side of the courtyard and walked to the group of people including the third uncle who were watching the excitement.

He quietly handed Yan Fugui an apple, then asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why are these two fighting?"

"Liu Haizhong's apprentice sent him two bunches of mushrooms. When they were placed outside to dry, Banggeng stole them and ran away. Then the two children from the Liu family saw them and beat Banggeng up." Yan Fugui explained to Lin Tian while touching the apple in his pocket and smiling.

Lin Tian had a terrible thought in his mind. During the day, he was still thinking that this joke didn't have much significance, but when he got home from get off work, he started fighting over it.

Although Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person, he is actually a good person in some aspects. For example, he donates money to other people to go to school and never keeps anything to himself when he makes apprentices in the factory.

You know, Yi Zhonghai hasn't taught Jia Dongxu anything useful in all these years. Jia Dongxu tried his best but couldn't get him up.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I tell you, today your family must compensate my family for the money for the mushrooms." The second aunt shouted.

"Bullshit, my Banggeng just wanted to see what a mushroom was, and ended up getting beaten. Your family must compensate Banggeng for his medical expenses, otherwise this matter will never be over." Jia Zhang would never admit that Banggeng was stealing. If she let her eldest grandson have a reputation as a thief, he would never be able to find a wife in the future.

"You bastard Jia Zhang, you only know how to talk nonsense. Should you be beaten if you didn't steal anything?" the second aunt scolded.

As they were talking, the two of them started fighting again, pulling hair and scratching each other.

After everyone in the compound finally pulled the two apart, the two men were still swearing at each other.

"Jia Dongxu, tell me what we should do about your son's problem." Liu Haizhong knew that he couldn't get to the point by arguing with Jia Zhangshi, so he simply asked Jia Dongxu. However, Jia Dongxu was not the man to take responsibility, so he could only look at Yi Zhonghai with helpless eyes.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to come out and say, "Old Liu, let me say a few fair words."

Before he could finish, the second aunt started to curse again: "Yi Zhonghai, you are talking about fairness. Your butt has even fallen on Jia Zhang's kang."

Yi Zhonghai nearly fainted from anger when he heard this. Several people in the compound couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But this time Yi Zhonghai had no way out. He was so angry that he turned around and went back to the house with a dark face.

Jia Dongxu looked at his master who had run away, opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Finally, Jia Dongxu made a surprising move. He pulled Banggeng into his arms, pressed him to the ground, pulled down his pants, and then started to touch Banggeng's butt.

"I asked you to destroy other people's things, you useless thing, have you never seen a mushroom?" It has to be said that Jia Dongxu still has some quick wit. If this matter was further argued, Banggeng would really become a thief.

"Who told you to go watch people drying mushrooms? You deserve the beating. I'm going to beat you up again and see if you will go there again in the future." Jia Dongxu cursed while beating him, while Banggeng lay on the ground, crying and struggling.

"What are you doing? This is your own son." When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu starting to beat the stick, she started howling. This was her beloved son.

"Oh my goodness!" Jia Zhang sat on the ground and began to pretend crying. Qin Huairu also cried beside Jia Zhang with tears in her eyes.

The silly guy next to him was so heartbroken.

However, after the Jia family made such a fuss, if Liu Haizhong continued to hold on to them, he would be considered bullying others.

Liu Haizhong was a little tongue-tied, so he could only snort and return to the backyard with his wife and children.

Lin Tian suddenly felt puzzled, so he asked Yan Fugui: "Where is Secretary Wu? The doors of the courtyard are all open, but there is no one there."

"It seems that my daughter-in-law has given birth and has not been in the compound recently." Yan Fugui didn't quite know what happened. Maybe he heard it from someone.

However, Lin Tian thought to himself that since Director Wu has not been in the courtyard to suppress these monsters recently, it seems that some of them have caused trouble.

Jia Zhang, who was sitting on the ground crying, stopped crying when she saw her husband leave. She patted her butt and tried to stand up, but she was too fat and it was inconvenient for her to stand up, so she fell to the ground again. Qin Huairu hurried to help her, but ended up falling down with her.

This was Sha Zhu's chance, so he quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, Auntie, you better be careful, don't fall again."

But although Shazhu was talking about Jia Zhang, he was indeed reaching out to Qin Huairu.

Who is Jia Zhang? She is an old widow. How could she not know what Sha Zhu is thinking?

Jia Zhang used her strength to hit Sha Zhu with a stick and said, "Get lost."

Sha Zhu was caught off guard and was hit and staggered.

Seeing Sha Zhu in such an awkward state, Xu Damao laughed happily: "This idiot, haha."

After Jia Zhang got up, she hurriedly snatched the stick from Jia Dongxu, who was crying silently.

"My dear grandson, my dear grandson." He said while holding Banggeng in his arms.

"Okay, don't cry anymore, good boy Banggeng." Qin Huairu was also comforting Banggeng.

Lin Tian also saw that Banggeng was crying so hard that he was trembling. It seemed that Jia Dongxu really did it.

Yan Fugui, who was standing by, was educating Yan Jiekuang, who was the same age as Banggeng: "See? A man must have integrity. He must not steal, let alone rob."

Although both groups had dispersed, Lin Tian felt that the matter was not over yet.

Yi Zhonghai was scolded and Bang Geng was beaten.

What’s more, the most crucial thing is that Director Wu has not been in the compound recently. The street office is too lazy to take care of minor matters like fighting, and it is impossible for them to take care of them.
