Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 502: You are accused of instigating your son to steal!

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu gratefully, "Thank you, Sha Zhu."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and smiled innocently, "Why thank me? We are from the same courtyard, it's only natural."

Qin Huairu carried Banggeng back to the house and settled him down before she realized she was also very tired. She simply washed up, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Qin Huairu woke up and found that Banggeng was no longer at home. She felt nervous and got up quickly and ran to the yard to look for him.

She felt relieved when she saw Banggeng playing with some other children.

"Banggeng, don't run around anymore, okay? Mom will be worried." Qin Huairu walked up to Banggeng and said seriously.

Banggeng lowered his head and whispered, "I know, Mom."

Qin Huairu sighed and patted Banggeng's head, "Are you hungry? Mom will go cook."

Qin Huairu returned to the house and began to prepare breakfast. While she was cooking, she was thinking about how to live in the future. She knew that life was not easy for her and her son in this yard. She had to find a way to make money so that Banggeng could live a good life.

After breakfast, Qin Huairu took Banggeng to the factory. She found the factory director and asked him to arrange a job for her.

The factory manager looked at Qin Huairu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Qin Huairu, I understand your situation, but there are really no vacancies in the factory right now."

Qin Huairu's tears suddenly flowed down, "Director, please help me, I really need this job."

The factory manager sighed and said, "How about this, I'll arrange a temporary job for you. Although the salary is not high, it can help supplement the family income."

Qin Huairu nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Director. Thank you, Director."

In this way, Qin Huairu began her career as a temporary worker in a factory. She left home early and returned late every day. The work was very hard, but she gritted her teeth and persisted for the sake of her children.

One afternoon, Qin Huairu was working when she suddenly heard someone calling her.

She looked up and saw Shazhu standing in front of her with a lunch box in his hand.

"Shazhu, why are you here?" Qin Huairu asked in surprise.

Sha Zhu smiled innocently, "I'm here to bring you food. You work so hard every day, you definitely don't have time to eat properly."

Qin Huairu felt warm in her heart, took the lunch box, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Shazhu."

Sha Zhu waved his hands, "Why thank me? We are from the same courtyard, it's only natural."

Qin Huairu opened the lunch box and saw that it was filled with dishes that she loved. She was so moved that she almost cried.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold soon." said Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu nodded and started to eat. She felt warm in her heart as she ate the food Sha Zhu brought her. She knew that in this courtyard, Sha Zhu was her only support.

After dinner, Qin Huairu continued to work. While she was working, she thought about Sha Zhu's goodness. She felt that Sha Zhu was like a big tree, protecting her from wind and rain.

In the following days, Sha Zhu came to bring food to Qin Huairu every day. Qin Huairu became more and more grateful to Sha Zhu and became more and more dependent on him.

One night, Qin Huairu came home from get off work and found Banggeng sitting at the door crying.

"Banggeng, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Qin Huairu asked hurriedly.

Bang Geng cried and said, "Mom, I... I stole the chicken from Jia Zhang's house..."

Qin Huairu was stunned. She looked at Banggeng with mixed feelings. She knew that Banggeng stole the chicken because his family was poor.

"Great..." Qin Huairu said while choking, "Don't steal things anymore, understand?"

Bang Geng cried and nodded, "I know, Mom."

Qin Huairu held Banggeng in her arms and hugged him tightly. She knew that she had to find a way to change the status quo and let Banggeng live a good life.

The next morning, Qin Huairu went to find Jia Zhang and asked for compensation for the loss of her chicken.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu, she started to curse: "Qin Huairu, you shameless person! Your son stole my chicken, and you still have the nerve to come to my house? Pay me! Pay me!"

Qin Huairu said humbly: "Jia Zhang, I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining Bang Geng well. I am willing to compensate you for your losses."

Jia Zhang snorted coldly, "Compensation? Can you afford it? My chicken is a treasure, what can you use to compensate?"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and said, "Jia Zhang, tell me, how much do you want?"

Jia Zhang held up five fingers and said, "Fifty dollars!"

Qin Huairu was stunned. Fifty yuan! This was her monthly salary!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, fifty yuan is too much. I... I don't have that much money..."

Jia Zhang sneered, "No money? Then don't blame me for calling the police!"

Qin Huairu was in a state of confusion. What should she do?

Qin Huairu was in a state of confusion. Fifty yuan was an astronomical figure for her. She worked hard every month and only earned more than thirty yuan. She also had to support three children and a mother-in-law. Life was very tight. Where could she get the fifty yuan?

Seeing Qin Huairu not talking, Jia Zhang thought she wanted to shirk her debt, and her voice became even sharper and harsher, "What? Not talking anymore? Want to shirk your debt? I'm telling you, Qin Huairu, if you don't pay me back today, I'll go to the street office and sue you for instigating my son to steal!"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and tried to hold back the humiliation in her heart. "Jia Zhang, fifty yuan is really too much. I really can't afford that much money. How about this? I'll pay you five yuan a month in installments, and I'll pay you off in ten months. How about that?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was furious. "Pay in installments? Do you think I'm stupid? What if you run away? No! I want fifty yuan, not a penny less!"

The neighbors all came to watch the fun, pointing and whispering at Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu is such a jerk. How could she raise such a son who is always stealing and cheating?"

"That's right. Jia Zhang's little chicken is her precious treasure. Now it's been stolen. She must be heartbroken."

"Fifty dollars, tsk tsk, how long will Qin Huairu have to save up for this to pay it back without eating or drinking?"

The discussions of the crowd pierced Qin Huairu's heart like needles. She felt her face burning and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

At this moment, Sha Zhu squeezed through the crowd, walked to Qin Huairu, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

When Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu, it was like she had found a life-saving straw, and she quickly told him what had happened.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was immediately furious. He pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed: "Jia Zhang, you old hag, do you still have any conscience? Fifty dollars? Why don't you rob a bank? How much is your chicken worth? I think you are deliberately blackmailing me!"

Jia Zhang was not to be outdone. She put her hands on her waist and cursed, "Silly Zhu, you fool, stay out of our business! This is our family's business, it's none of your business!"
