Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 184 The Jia Family Divides the Money
Zhang Erzhu's return made the situation in the yard tense. Jia Zhang came running over from behind and started fighting without saying a word.

"Brother Jia, Brother Jia, listen to me first." Zhang Erzhu shouted hurriedly.

Jia Dongxu looked at Zhang Erzhu with anger and said, "What are you talking about, you big liar."

When Jia Zhang's hand reached out, Zhang Erzhu said quickly: "I will pay it back, I will pay it back right away, double compensation."

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were both very surprised. That was not a small amount of money. Qin Huairu's salary was still 20 yuan.

Qin Huairu said: "Take the money now, or go to the police."

Jia Dongxu said: "Yes, take the money now."

Zhang Erzhu said, "You better ask Jia Geng to let me go first. I have the money in my pocket."

Jia Geng then let go of his hand. Zhang Erzhu straightened his wrinkled coat, walked to the stone table in the front yard, opened his luggage bag, took out a paper package wrapped in newspaper, and handed it directly to Jia Dongxu, saying, "I prepared it before I came back. You can check it first. I'm sorry, Brother Jia, I had something urgent to do and didn't come back. I made you anxious."

Jia Dongxu took the paper package and was about to open it when Qin Huairu whispered in his ear, "There are too many people here, go home."

Jia Dongxu took the paper bag and asked Jia Geng to look after Zhang Erzhu. He and Qin Huairu went home, and Jia Zhang followed them closely.

Yan Jiekuang looked at Zhang Erzhu, a little confused as to where did Zhang Erzhu get so much money. However, Yan Jiekuang did not make trouble. His relationship with Zhang Erzhu was just average, so he turned around and went home.

After a while, everyone in the front yard dispersed, and Zhang Erzhu entered the middle yard. Jia Dongxu came out at this time, holding the IOU in his hand. He handed it to Zhang Erzhu and said, "We are even now. Come to my house less often in the future." After saying that, he turned around and went back.

Zhang Erzhu took his bag and knocked on his door. The door opened. Qin Yuru had already heard Zhang Erzhu's voice from inside, but she ignored him. When she heard the knock on the door, she knew that the bastard had come.

Qin Yuru was also a little surprised to see Zhang Erzhu, but she still said unhappily: "Why did you come back? We have nothing to do with each other anymore. This is not the place for you to come."

Zhang Erzhu said with a smile: "You are my wife. Where else can I go if not here? Let me go in first. It will be bad if the neighbors see us." After saying that, he was about to go into the house.

Qin Yuru snorted coldly and said, "We are already divorced. You are a fugitive. Director Wang and the police are still waiting for news from you. I tell you, it was Director Wang who handled the divorce procedures for me. If you have any questions, go find Director Wang."

After Qin Yuru finished speaking, she slammed the door shut. Zhang Erzhu was a little confused. He really didn't know that he had caused such a big mess. He rolled his eyes and quickly ran to the backyard.

Zhang Erzhu came to Xu Damao's house and knocked on the door for a long time, but Xu Damao was not at home. He must have gone to his parents' house. Zhang Erzhu hurried to Xu Damao's parents' house.

When Xu Damao saw Zhang Erzhu, he was very surprised. He looked at him strangely and said, "How dare you come back? The police and the street are waiting for you."

Zhang Erzhu was sure that he was in trouble, but Xu Damao said, "You have made a fortune. If you go to the street like this, you will probably be detained. They are cracking down on speculation now."

Zhang Erzhu said: "I didn't, I earned the money through hard work, I didn't do any speculation."

Xu Damao didn't believe it and said, "Okay, how you earn money has nothing to do with me. Since you and I are in trouble together, I remind you that you should go to the street to find Director Wang now. If you wait for them to find you, you will be passive."

Zhang Erzhu said, "What's going on? What did I do wrong? I just owe the Jia family money, and I'm not refusing to pay it back."

Xu Damao looked at Zhang Erzhu and said, "I don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending. We let you go so that you could go back to where you live and be educated by the street office where your household registration is located. But you just ran away. I was educated for a month."

Zhang Erzhu suddenly realized and asked, "What do they say on the street?"

"What else can I say? I'll say you're fleeing for fear of crime and report you directly to the police." Xu Damao said with a sneer.

Zhang Erzhu was a little scared, but he still had to go to the street. He didn't know how the street would deal with him. He regretted coming back, but he really had no choice but to go back.

Zhang Erzhu left in frustration and went to the street office. Xu Damao looked at Zhang Erzhu's back and shook his head, thinking that Zhang Erzhu didn't know his own weight. He dared to run around without a letter of introduction. But how did he come back? Xu Damao was a little puzzled. Zhang Erzhu went directly to the street office. When he saw Director Wang, Director Wang was also quite surprised. He looked at Zhang Erzhu and said directly: "Okay, you don't have to tell me anymore. Come on, come with me to see Director Wang and explain everything clearly there."

When Zhang Erzhu heard this, he knew that this was a serious matter and said, "Director Wang, I can just tell you directly. I didn't do anything illegal."

Director Wang looked at Zhang Erzhu seriously and said, "You haven't done anything illegal yet? You have no letter of introduction, no report, and you have disappeared for three years. Go to the police station first and give a clear account of what happened in the past three years."

After saying that, he went out and called two people. The three of them accompanied Zhang Erzhu straight to the police station. Zhang Erzhu looked at this situation and thought that they were afraid that he would run away.

Zhang Erzhu went to the police station. The director was still Wang Gang. He looked at Zhang Erzhu and said, "It's really not easy to find you. If you don't show up, we'll be ready to take measures. Okay, go and explain your affairs first."

Zhang Erzhu followed the two police officers to the interrogation room with his head down.

The neighbors in the courtyard were all talking about Zhang Erzhu and were curious about where Zhang Erzhu had gone.

Only the Jia family was holding a family meeting at home. The topic of the meeting was how to distribute the two thousand yuan that Zhang Erzhu returned.

Both Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were eyeing the money. In fact, Jia Zhang had more than two thousand yuan in her hands. She simply liked to make money, while Jia Dongxu was overjoyed thinking that he had become a rich man again and could buy many things he liked.

Qin Huairu appeared calm on the surface, but she was already glaring at Jia Geng. Tang Yanling was also secretly pulling at the corner of Jia Geng's clothes.

Jia Dongxu said seriously: "This money originally belonged to me. It can be considered as recovered, so you should keep it with me."

Jia Geng looked at his father and said, "Didn't you say last time that the financial power belongs to my mother?"

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "The money from now on will belong to your mother. This was my money before."

Jia Zhang interrupted and said, "Your money is one thousand, and this is two thousand. If you want it, take your one thousand. The rest is a windfall. You should at least give me some as a gift."

Qin Huairu looked at her husband and said, "You don't want to separate from me, do you?"

Several people looked at Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu said, "No way, when did I want to split up the family?"

"If we don't split up the family, should I be the one keeping the money? We agreed that all the money would be kept with me, and I have always paid mom on time. What do you want the money for?" Qin Huairu looked straight at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was speechless, feeling a little unwilling, thinking that he should at least have some pocket money, but he didn't dare to say it.

Qin Huairu said, "Okay, this thousand is originally our family's savings. I'll put it away first and deposit it in the bank tomorrow."

After saying that, he asked Jia Geng to order one thousand yuan for him and took it to his room.

At this time, Jia Zhang smiled and said, "What about the remaining one thousand?"

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said, "Then we'll divide it equally. Every one counts. Except for Jia Xiaobao who is still young, the rest of the family members will be divided equally. Is that ok?"

No one spoke. Qin Huairu said, "One by one, Jia Xiaobao must be counted. After all, he is also a member of this family."

Jia Xiaobao didn't care about this matter at first, but he suddenly became happy, ran over happily, hugged his mother's arm and said, "My mother is right."

In this way, there were eight people in the Jia family, and each of them got 125, which was just right. Some people were unwilling, while others were secretly happy. The meeting ended like this.
