Chapter 263
You say your money is lost; then I ask you, where did you put your money?
Yan Fugui
Jia Zhangshi
No names.
You've got over a thousand yuan in your pocket, strolling down the street.
No names.
No names.
One thousand five hundred yuan, counting by whole bills, that's also one hundred fifty notes.
Yan Fugui gestured with his hand to show the approximate thickness of one hundred fifty bills.
That thick, a pocket can't hold it; I, Yan Fugui, have lived so long and never seen anyone strolling the streets with two pockets full of cash.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist; who says my old lady can't walk the streets with fifteen hundred yuan? What kind of rule is that?
Jia Zhangshi

"Jia Zhangshi, where did you put your money?" Yan Fugui's gaze swept over Jia Zhangshi: "Your top has no pockets, your pants have no pockets—don't tell me you're clutching the money in your hand."
Jia Zhangshi
No names.
I sewed the money onto my underwear.
Qin Huairu
No wonder she searched the whole house and couldn't find where the money was hidden.
In other words, Jia Zhangshi moved the money, sewing it onto her underwear.
No wonder Jia Zhangshi moved into the rear courtyard; at night, when sleeping, she absolutely refuses to take off her long underwear, because she has sewn fifteen hundred yuan onto her underwear.
No names.
No names.
At the very least, we must not let Jia Zhangshi know.
Are you sure the money is all sewn onto your underwear?
No names.
Where was the money lost? On the road?
Yan Fugui
No names.
No names.
Jia Zhangshi, Yan Fugui
Yes, yes, yes, it was on the road; my old lady still had it when she felt it at noon, but when she returned in the evening she found it gone—it must have been lost on the road.
Jia Zhangshi
Jia Zhangshi
No names.
Then Yan Fugui said again: "Just now you kept saying the money was swindled, and now you say it's lost—your story doesn't add up; you can still come clean now."
This isn't just Yan Fugui's opinion.
No names.
No names.
They all think that, believing Jia Zhangshi is being deliberately mysterious.
Huaihua, Jia Zhangshi, Jia Family
No names.
No names.
No names.
No names.
Whether the money is lost or not has nothing to do with them; aside from watching the spectacle, they really don't want to deal with the Jia family—if the money is there, Jia Zhangshi won't give them a cent; if it's lost, that money won't end up in their hands either.
But the neighbors in the courtyard are now all members of the Help Huaihua Group.
Street, Help Huaihua Group
No names.
They feel that Jia Zhangshi's pretended loss of money has struck a nerve, treating them as fools to toy with.
No names.
Following Yan Fugui's lead, they all began to blame Jia Zhangshi.
Jia dama, while this matter hasn't yet blown up to Jiēdào, you'd better tell the truth; otherwise you won't have any good coming your way, Jia dama. You may not be thinking for yourself, but you have to think for Bangeng. You can't possibly not let Bangeng get married and take a wife in the future, can you?
The speaker.
It was Xu Daming.
He certainly isn't doing this for Jia Zhangshi's benefit.
When has Biesun ever done something beneficial?
Saying that, he's acting on the principle that the matter must be blown up, really fanning the flames.
Outsiders might think Jia Zhangshi is putting on a show of losing money for everyone to see, but Xu Daming doesn't see it that way. During the few days Jia Zhangshi was deceived and taken in, she went every day to find that master to undergo the so-called Money Substitute Method; Xu Daming happened to run into her several times, he saw Jia Zhangshi, but Jia Zhangshi didn't see him.
At noon today, when I was riding my bike past that place, I noticed someone causing a disturbance at the door; by analyzing Jia Zhangshi's daily behavior of coming here, I drew a conclusion.
That means Jia Zhangshi got scammed.
Felt very pleased.
No longer had 1,500 yuan.
The Jia family will be the most miserable household in the siheyuan.
Such a big show.
Xu Daming will definitely want to watch.
If it weren't for the sudden incident, he would have definitely dragged Shazhu to watch together.
He looked at everyone.
He didn't see Shazhu, and Yu Li wasn't there either.
He opened his mouth and let out another barrage of retorts at Jia Zhangshi.
Shazhu's family wasn't there; as Shazhu's friend, Xu Daming felt he should scold Jia Zhangshi on Shazhu's behalf.
"Jia Dame, the money isn't your Jia family's money; it's the support fee that Yi Zhonghai gave to Huaihua. You, a grown adult, are greedy for Huaihua's support fee—what exactly do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that Yi Zhonghai will come back at night to settle the score with you?"
"What time is it now, still thinking only of good things? Do you really think the neighbors are all idiots? One moment the money's lost, the next it's been scammed away. As Second Grandpa said, even the stupidest person wouldn't walk down the street holding 1,500 yuan. 1,500 yuan is enough for our family to eat for ten years."
That's the polite way of saying it.
That's the impolite way of saying it.
He just started cursing.
"Jia Zhangshi, you greedy old thing, with you in the siheyuan, it really damn ruins the feng shui. Go outside and inquire, listen to what reputation your Jia family has—it's not even as good as damn dog shit."
"Even if you've given up, you still can't take Huaihua's money—she's only two, knows nothing, can't you have some shame? You're fighting a two-year-old for food—pfui!"
The sound of cursing eight generations of ancestors.
It caused the situation in the courtyard to mysteriously fall into strangeness.
Especially Jia Zhangshi.
He secretly groaned in distress.
He was clearly telling the truth, yet the neighbors wouldn't believe him.
The money was really scammed.
If it weren't for being scammed.
Why bother going through all this trouble to explain to you guys?
Jia Zhangshi's intention in explaining was to convey to the neighbors that the Jia family was truly in trouble, so as to borrow some money from them.
Because the Jia family had completely fallen into difficulty, Qin Huairu, due to the pillar-collision incident, is still resting at home; she only receives half her salary, does not work, and naturally has no performance bonuses or wages.
We had originally counted on this two thousand yuan as a base, but the elderly woman took five hundred, leaving fifteen hundred, which was then scammed.
The frustration in his heart can be imagined.
What made Jia Zhangshi even more speechless.
What she said was true, but not a single neighbor believed it; even seven- or eight-year-old children looked at her with doubtful eyes.
What this old woman says is true.
You all need to believe me.
