Chapter 446: Zhuzi, Banggeng is in trouble!

"Hey? Big firecracker!!!"

Bang Geng smiled and looked around stealthily, and saw He Yunong, Damao and Ermao and a few others approaching this side.

He quickly kicked Da Lei Zi into his arms.

At this time of year, small whips and iron flower making have become rare things.

This thing that looks like fireworks is extremely attractive to children.

"Great! What are you doing? Are you stealing things from the steel mill again?"

From a distance, Da Mao and his group of children heard the noise and couldn't help but make fun of Bang Geng as he looked at his sneaky appearance.

A pair of sarcastic eyes stared at Banggeng motionlessly.

Ever since He Yunong was arranged to eat at Liang Ladi's house, he was followed by several children of Liang Ladi's family when he went to and from school and did his homework every day.

After all, they are all children, not as complicated as adults.

After playing for a few days, we became familiar with each other and became close friends.

"Bah! Stealing? You're the one who steals!"

Banggeng stuffed the things in his arms into his clothes. After all, he was a child, and even though he was wearing winter clothes, his body was still bloated.

Seeing He Yunong hanging out with Damao, Banggeng's eyes flickered and he had an idea in his mind: "He Yunong! Don't forget to bring the protection fee to school tomorrow!"

"What protection money? Bang Geng! What do you want to do?"

Before He Yunong could reply, the oldest one, Da Mao, stepped forward and protected He Yunong and the younger ones behind him.

Liang Ladi has always taught him that as the eldest child in the family, he must be responsible.

Although He Yunong was not their child, they ate and went to school together every day. To some extent, Damao also treated him as one of his own.

Looking at Damao's actions and his height which was a head taller than him, Banggeng moved his feet back calmly.

As he moved, he sneered disdainfully: "What? Are you going to help him?"

"What do you mean by standing out or not?!" Damao frowned, glanced at the somewhat nervous He Yunong behind him, and still stood in front of him: "He Yunong is a member of our hospital. Even if you want to collect protection money, you shouldn't collect it from people in the hospital.

If you don't understand, go ask Sha Zhu. If you bully someone in the courtyard, you will be laughed at if the news gets out!"

Damao tried his best to protect He Yunong while scolding Bang Geng.

The actual situation is just as Damao said, let alone collecting protection fees, even hooligans and thugs will not do anything to the neighbors these days.

If something happens, these people may help their neighbors.

"Tsk, you idiot, it's none of your business!"

Bang Geng said with disdain, touched the big thunder hidden in his clothes, and thought about how to leave as soon as possible.

"The only person in the class who didn't give it to me was He Yunong. If he doesn't give it to me, how will the other people in the class look at me in the future? Remember, you must bring it to me when you go to school tomorrow!

I have done something good. Do you know what it means? Even the teachers at school can’t control me!”

After planning his retreat, Banggeng did not forget to leave two harsh words before leaving.

It was at this time that He Yunong, who had been protected by Damao, stood up.

Looking at Bang Geng, he picked up a broken brick from the ground next to him and looked at Bang Geng very seriously: "Protection money? I won't give it to you! If you dare to ask me for it again, I will ask my sister to ask her to ask the factory manager, and then your mother will lose her job!"

He Yunong is a little kid. Although he is smart, his intelligence is limited.

It’s hard to tell the relationship between He Yushui and Li Mao, but you can see how close they are.

Although he and He Yushui were not too close, compared to Sha Zhu, He Yunong was more willing to ask He Yushui for help.

"You dare!"

Bang Geng's face flushed, he wrapped his clothes tightly, and was very angry.

Although he is not very smart, he likes to spend money and can still figure out the accounts.

The children in the class could only collect three cents as protection fee every seven days.

Even if he collected it for a month, it would not be even a fraction of Qin Huairu's salary.

If Qin Huairu lost her job, how would he eat delicious food in the future?

Because Li Mao was getting married, the workers in the factory raised money to give him a quilt. Li Mao specially paid out of his own pocket to make up the difference and bought half a pork and stewed some cabbage.

Qin Huairu couldn't bear to eat anything at the factory, so she took them all back and gave them to Banggeng.

Thinking about it now, Bang Geng can't help but drool.

If he lost his job, not only would he not be able to eat delicious instant noodles, but even if the machinery factory made meat dishes in the future, he would not have any chance to eat them.

When Banggeng thought of that scene, his heart ached.

"Hmph, fine. I'll give your sister some face! But you're the only one who can tell anyone else in the class!"

Banggeng snorted, his face full of dissatisfaction.

Bang Geng tightened his clothes, feeling embarrassed, and didn't want to stay here any longer.

He turned his head, stomped his feet, and ran straight towards the courtyard.

He said he was walking, but his steps were like a jog.

After taking a few steps, his feet suddenly started to run.

He gasped for breath until he could no longer hear the mockery from He Yunong and the others behind him, and then he slowly stopped.

After looking around, I realized that I had unknowingly run to a small restaurant selling fried liver in the alley.

Since the years have been getting better, the fly-in-the-wall restaurants that were about to close down are once again exuding vitality.

Smelling the aroma of fried liver floating in the air, the roundworms in Bang Geng's stomach suddenly started to get restless.

“So hungry”

Rubbing his belly, Bang Geng muttered softly.

Because I have eaten fried liver before, I can still barely recall the taste of the banggeng I ate last time.

As I smelled more and more, I became hungrier, and suddenly I smelled a scent that I had never smelled before.

"Hmm?! It smells so good! What is this?!"

Banggeng narrowed his eyes, holding Daleizi tightly in his arms, inhaling the air greedily through his nostrils, and his feet were uncontrollably walking towards the fried liver stall.

Before the person got close, he heard a voice that was somewhat familiar, yet somewhat unfamiliar.

"Well! Uncle Zhang, your cooking skills are pretty good! I thought you were only good at stir-frying liver, but I didn't expect that you are also good at grilling fish?
I won’t say anything else. I still have a fish here. Uncle Zhang, please grill it for me. I’ll pay you the same as before.”

Xu Yueling stood in front of Lao Zhang's fried liver stall with her back to Bang Geng.

Looking at Lao Zhang holding a palm-leaf fan and fanning an open iron box covered with an iron mesh.

As the charcoal fire inside rose, bursts of blue-gray smoke floated up.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Xu Yueling praised while using chopsticks to share a grilled fish on the plate.

Swallowing hard, Bang Geng moved to Xu Yueling eagerly, tugged at her trouser legs, and said in an indescribably stubborn tone: "Xu Yueling, is this grilled fish delicious?"

Hearing the sound of the stick and feeling the force on her clothes, Xu Yueling, who had not returned to the courtyard since she came back, frowned slightly in annoyance.

He thought about it in his mind, then waved the plate of grilled fish in his hand at Bang Geng.

“Not only is it delicious, it’s also very fragrant.”

Normally, after adults say this, they will pick out a small piece and tease it for the sake of face.

Xu Yueling was different. She hated jokes to begin with, and now she felt even more unhappy when she heard the stiff voice that sounded as if she owed someone a joke.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of sharing his food with him, Bang Geng felt annoyed and didn't know where his arrogance came from.

He touched the big thunder wrapped inside his clothes.

Seeing the fish meat that Lao Zhang was cutting open and putting into the wire mesh, he became ruthless and pretended to be an adult, asking, "Hey, how much do you charge for processing and roasting a fish?"

Lao Zhang, who sells fried liver, raised his eyebrows, glanced at the guy who was asking the question, and pretended to be confused and made a joke: "Hey, whose child is this? Can't you see he's busy? Why are you asking nonsense? This is fish, even if it's cheap, it's still meat.

How can a little kid like you get fish in the cold winter?"

Ever since he had made great contributions, he had been a bully in school, but now he was looked down upon like this, and his expression could not keep up.

His head stiffened and his face turned red: "What do you care where I go? You are a stinky fried liver seller, why are you pretending to be in front of me?

How much is the grilled fish? Just answer the question you're asked. So much nonsense, are you annoying?"

After Banggeng's commotion, Xu Yueling became interested. She took a look at the bulging thing in Banggeng's arms and smiled faintly: "Wow, this little thing is quite interesting. Uncle Zhang, don't bother with him. It's normal for a little boy to be uneducated after losing his father.

When we open a business, we should not put ourselves in a difficult position. Let me give you the processing fee for one more fish later.

If this little guy brings fish later, you can grill it for him. They are all from your neighbors. This little guy is a chatterbox, so don't annoy him. It will bring some dirty things to your place at night. It will be bad."

Because of Xu Damao's matter, Xu Yueling spoke without mercy.

On the one hand, he pointed at Banggeng and cursed him, and on the other hand, he gave him the processing fee of a fish as a charity, which made people feel both contradictory and sarcastic.

If it were a normal person, knowing that the relationship between the two families was not good, he would have started a quarrel a long time ago.

On the other hand, Banggeng was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up. There was no trace of the previous anger on his face: "You are an adult, and adults can't go back on their words! You said you would give it to me, so you have to give it to me!
You also heard the fried liver seller, you can ask her for the money for the grilled fish!"

After saying this, Banggeng didn't care about the hateful looks from others. He held Daleizi tightly in his arms and left with an excited look on his face.

He ran so fast that he didn't give Xu Yueling any chance to take back her words.

Seeing Banggeng running out of the stall, Xu Yueling belatedly looked at the plate in her hand, opened her mouth, looked around, shook her head, and said with a strange expression: "Oh, am I being manipulated by this little guy Banggeng?"

"That's right. If you say Banggeng is an ungrateful person, then this guy is really taking advantage of the situation."

Fried Liver Old Zhang shook his head and turned over the wire mesh holding the grilled fish in his hand: "If you ask me, Xu Yueling, you should just pretend that nothing happened. The little guy is all alone, except for his dirty hands and feet, where can he get fish?
After a few days, when they can’t catch any fish, they won’t be able to come here again.”

As Lao Zhang, the stir-fried liver maker, said this, he thought Xu Yueling was feeling uncomfortable, so he gave her a way out.

"No, please don't, it's just a few cents, I don't want to be remembered by such an ungrateful person again.

I've given the money. If that little guy Bang Geng really brings the fish, Uncle Zhang, you can help grill it.

While we are roasting it, we should find out what this little creature has to say. If it is really doing something dishonest, we can’t help it.”

Xu Yueling shook her head and took money out of her wallet while speaking.

"You are different from your brother in that you are too honest. Okay, I'll take the money. If Bang Geng does something dirty later, I will definitely call Qin Huairu over to have a talk with her.

He is so young and doesn't learn well. How come his father is gone? He has no memory at all.

In other words, their family was lucky enough to live in the same courtyard with Director Li, and out of consideration for their neighbors, they were given a chance to survive.

The result was unexpected. Oh, forget it. Some people don’t appreciate their blessings, and sooner or later they will become a disaster. "

As Lao Zhang, the stir-fried liver maker, was speaking, he looked up at the increasingly crowded stall, shook his head and took back the rest of his words.

Although their family is not a good-for-nothing, Lao Zhang, who cooks fried liver, is old after all. He can say some unpleasant things in front of others, but he really can't say them behind their backs.

"Brother Li Mao is indeed"

Xu Yueling pursed her lips awkwardly, with an indescribable bitterness on her face.

After Lao Zhang finished grilling the fish, he packed the leftover fish into the lunch box, paid for the banggeng, shook his head and left.

Neighbors who knew about the situation just sighed and didn't say anything more about it.

Xu Damao is a piece of shit.

But Xu Yueling is still a good girl in the eyes of her neighbors.

Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Da Mao and his friends, who had been playing for a while at the place where cement pipes were piled outside the steel rolling mill, went straight to the gate of the machinery factory, waiting for Liang Ladi and He Yushui to get off work.

On the way back to the courtyard, Damao and the others still talked about Banggeng indignantly.

He Yushui and Yu Haitang who were standing nearby heard this and their faces turned ugly.

Yu Haitang didn't say much, but just stopped and looked around, and saw Qin Huairu in the crowd:

"Qin Huairu, your Bang Geng is really awesome!
You are bullying your neighbors. We are all co-workers in the same factory. Don't blame me for saying harsh words.

If it happens again, I will report it to the factory!"

Yu Haitang repeated what Damao said to Qin Huairu.

In front of her coworkers in the factory and the blind date in Qinjiagou, Qin Huairu's face looked extremely ugly.

His face flushed, and he kept rubbing the corner of his clothes with his fingers: "Hey, I'll remember that. I'll teach Bang Geng a lesson when we get back."

He returned to the courtyard in a depressed mood. Before he finished his dinner, the neighbors in the courtyard had already known about the ugly things Banggeng had done in school.

Even when she was queuing in front of the faucet to wash the pots, someone was teasing Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu kept apologizing with a smile, but in her heart she was worried about why Banggeng hadn't come back yet.

Time passed by little by little, and it was almost eight o'clock. The steaming dinner in the pot was reheated over and over again, but Banggeng did not come back.

Looking at the sky outside, Qin Huairu suddenly became anxious.

Panicking, he pushed the door open and ran out.

Instinctively, Qin Huairu thought of Sha Zhu, the bootlicker.

Although there had been some conflicts before, Sha Zhu did say that he would not have anything to do with their family.

But when the situation arises, Qin Huairu is sure that she will find a way to turn Sha Zhu around.

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi, are you home? Open the door. Sister Qin has something to ask you. Bang Geng Bang Geng might be in trouble!"

Qin Huairu knocked on the door crying. Before long, many people gathered in front of the doors and behind the windows of each household in the central courtyard.

Something happened to Bang Geng?

tsk tsk.
