Huairu’s son, that Bang Geng!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone in the Sihe Academy was stunned, and they all felt like their ears had heard wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, Chen Tian smiled faintly when he saw her say this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems his prediction was indeed correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Xiao’e didn't have to go to work, so she should have seen it when the other party was stealing things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu heard this and was the first to jump out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lou Xiao’e, how can you say such nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know how old Bang Geng is now, how could he dare to do such a thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu had fantasies about Qin Qin Huairu, so he loved the house and its crow, and was especially caring toward her children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the other party never called him uncle once, and always called him Sha Zhu, he never cared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hearing Lou Xiao’e say this, he felt he couldn't bear it and jumped out immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle heard this name, was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lou Xiao’e couldn't be so calculating with a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the remaining possibility was indeed Bang Geng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle and Sha Zhu were both quite partial to Jia Jia Zhangshi’s family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strictly speaking, it wasn't partial to Jia Jia Zhangshi or her useless son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But partial to that country girl named Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Jia Jia Dongxu was someone he wanted to cultivate as a person to support him in his old age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't expect the other party to become a cripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he set his sights on Sha Zhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he wanted Sha Zhu to wholeheartedly support him in his old age, he had to find him a good wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And First Uncle could see that Sha Zhu had some thoughts about Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was secretly matchmaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Dongxu was a cripple now, although a half-dead cripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Qin Qin Huairu wanted to live a good life, she had to abandon him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle’s calculation was much more powerful than Third Uncle’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just let Sha Zhu marry Qin Qin Huairu home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then those three children, and his own couple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jia Jia Zhangshi and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu would either send them back to the countryside or have to support them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, Sha Zhu was treated as a diligent and uncomplaining sucker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle heard Lou Xiao’e say this and naturally had to come out to stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, if this matter delayed his big plan, it wouldn't be good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu’s wife, did you see wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know Bang Geng is just a child now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there are quite a few children about his age in our alley.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle wanted to take the opportunity to muddy the water a bit, and Xu Xu Damao was dissatisfied when he saw him say this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First Uncle, why does what you say sound like there’s something behind it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you mean my wife’s eyes have problems, and she can’t recognize the wrong person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu immediately started being sarcastic on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s still possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, your wife has been married for so long, and I haven't even seen her lay an egg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, is there a problem with your body, or is there a problem with your wife’s body?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others in the Sihe Academy heard this and burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Lou Xiao’e not having children for so long after marrying, they had also discussed it privately quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they unanimously agreed that there was a problem with Xu Xu Damao’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu’s life was ruined by his mouth, and he was as much of a scoundrel as anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had also been Xu Xu Damao’s knot for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, after being married to his wife for so long, there was no movement in her stomach, and he was also a bit depressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao was instantly anxious; this was simply pointing at him and scolding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, you scoundrel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Xiao’e’s temper also flared up, and she pointed at the other party’s nose and scolded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a scoundrel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, yes, I’m a scoundrel, and I’m not even a man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, in the whole world, there are no men except your Xu Xu Damao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think even this matter of Bang Geng is because you are jealous that others can have children, and you can’t, so you made it up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Xiao’e was about to cry from anxiety at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never suffered such grievances since she was a child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being mocked by Sha Zhu like this, she was about to cry out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao’s eyes turned red instantly; the other party not only mocked himself but also mocked their couple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, what do you want to do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Uncle watched Xu Xu Damao about to take action and hurriedly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think this matter isn't troublesome enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you still complaining that this matter isn't troublesome enough?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But now that my home has been broken into, not only do you obstruct me at every turn, but you also indulge Sha Zhu’s filthy mouth to insult a woman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, Yi Yi Zhonghai, is this your so-called management style?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since everyone is here today, I’m not afraid to lay it all out on the table!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing how you handle things today, I assume you don't put much thought into these matters, and you don't even take the organization's teachings to heart!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems I must have a serious talk with the factory leadership and have them investigate your daily conduct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others watched Chen Tian point his finger and berate the First Uncle, feeling quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The First Uncle was so frightened by these words that he dared not retort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with eyes could see that he had indeed shown Sha Zhu a great deal of favoritism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the other party was right; if Sha Zhu’s words were to spread outside, it would certainly cause a negative impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might even end up spending two or three years in the station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of that was important; what the First Uncle feared most right now was what Chen Tian had just said about going to the leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current status as a Senior Engineer, the factory leadership would certainly take this issue seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while he was a veteran employee, he was merely a fitter who could be replaced at any time; he simply couldn't compare to the other party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, his position and his job would be at the mercy of Chen Tian’s whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he could only keep his mouth tightly shut, not daring to say a word for fear of annoying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao and his wife were also quite moved to see Chen Tian standing up for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that in this Sihe Academy, everyone else was a fence-sitter; only Chen Tian was able to stand up and listen to them at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Xu Damao, go to the station now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the First Uncle close his mouth, Chen Tian calmly instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Sha Zhu and his group turned green in the face upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come to think of it, where is the Jia family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember they were the ones who loved watching the excitement most, weren't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, we’ve been making such a scene for a while now, why haven't we seen anyone from the Jia family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the discussion around him, the Third Uncle scanned the area a few times and then spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that Lou Lou Xiaoe was right, and Bang Geng really is the thief?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the Third Uncle say this, the others in the Sihe Academy also began to scan their surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Third Uncle is right, why haven't we seen a single person from the Jia family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember Jia Jia Zhangshi loves to join in the fun; why is she so quiet today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think the Third Uncle is right; the thief must have come from the Jia family, and they’re probably hiding away, afraid to show their faces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not bring Bang Geng over and ask him properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing these discussions, the First Uncle’s face grew even gloomier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Deaf Old Lady, an elderly woman of her age, had come over upon hearing the commotion, yet not a single representative from the Jia family had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who understood the implications of this, understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the First Uncle, who usually favored the Jia family, dared not say anything more now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things turned out as he feared, it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Tian stood by, watching them discuss with a very calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long noticed that no one from the Jia family had come, but to him, it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, as long as he reported it to the police and they investigated, even if they hid, they would be dragged out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Qin Huairu, come over here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your son stole something, come out now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don't come out, we really are going to call the police!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao, getting into the spirit, raised his voice and shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife said Bang Geng was the thief, and honestly, he found it a bit surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao was a notorious lecher, often involved in shady dealings with other female workers at the factory, and occasionally taking small liberties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had long coveted someone like Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because she was close to Sha Zhu for the sake of her family, he had long been quite jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had a slight interest in Qin Qin Huairu, she didn't pay much attention to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there was an opportunity to settle the score, Xu Xu Damao certainly wouldn't let it pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu, don't you love Qin Qin Huairu’s son the most?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I’ll send him to prison!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Xu Xu Damao felt an inexplicable sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do? Chen Tian and the others know it was Bang Geng who took the things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now they say they’re going to the station to report it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the shouting outside, Qin Qin Huairu felt a sudden panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this panic was mixed more with frustration at her son for not living up to expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>",1757,"2026-06-16T18:09:03.510Z","2026-06-16T19:13:34.914Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","433f65cc36bce3024c7b3db0306dcf524c03649770bc77b9c10e075dca3dddb0","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-17","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-15",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
