Chapter 100: Bang Geng Poisoned by a Needle

~8 min read 1,409 words

"Don't rush, don't rush, I'm coming right now!"

Zhao Gangzi chuckled, patted the dirt off his hands, and then followed Shazhu to the Front Courtyard with peace of mind.

Shazhu was also feeling smug; he hadn't expected this idiot to actually fall for the trap. Although these few sausages were no skin off his back, they could still disgust him properly.

The Front Courtyard.

Zhao Gangzi was actually quite afraid that Bang Geng wouldn't steal the sausages, so he deliberately slowed his pace, strolled around the Front Courtyard once, and then stopped, saying earnestly: "Zhuzi, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We are good neighbors, after all!"

"Hehe, then thank you very much, Gangzi." Shazhu scratched his head with a look of simple honesty, then deliberately changed the subject: "Gangzi, I heard you're getting married soon. What date is it set for? I'll give you a wedding gift!"

"Sigh, that hasn't been decided yet, but it should be around before the New Year. When the time comes, I'll set up a few tables in the Siheyuan, and you must come to support me."

Zhao Gangzi wore a mischievous grin.

Shazhu chimed in, feigning a sigh: "Thinking back, I really treated you poorly before and did so many things to target you."

"It's fortunate that you, Gangzi, are a big person who doesn't hold a grudge against a small person like me; otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to face you. You really are a good man!"

Zhao Gangzi just watched this kid perform quietly, while also sighing and lamenting the changes in things and how time flies.

The two of them discussed for a full half hour without finishing.

Third Uncle Yan Bugui, who was sunning himself in the Front Courtyard, was dumbfounded. What was going on with these two today? Why had they shaken hands and made peace? This didn't fit the nature of these two kids at all!

At the same time.

Bang Geng, who had been hiding in Shazhu's house, poked his head out. Seeing that there was no movement outside, he walked out openly. Drooling as he looked at the sausages on Zhao Gangzi's window, he muttered to himself: "Huang Shiren is finally not here. I can eat sausages today! I'll take two to taste first; maybe it'll help my intestines grow back."

Bang Geng still remembered the fact that he had cut off a bit of his intestine. Having heard Jia Zhangshi say that one should eat whatever part they need to replenish, he figured eating more sausages would surely have some effect.

"So delicious!"

Bang Geng pulled one down from the window and chewed it directly in his mouth. In an instant, the oil inside soaked out, leaving his whole mouth covered in grease.

He had never felt such a delicious sensation before; it was much better than the chicken Jia Zhangshi had stewed last time, and even the fish soup wasn't as fresh and tasty as this. Bang Geng felt that his life had reached its peak.

"Hmph, this was our family's house before. That Zhou Bapi, that Huang Shiren! Today I must punish him properly!"

Chewing the sausage, Bang Geng began to hatch a wicked plan in his heart.

This was their family's big house before, snatched away by Zhao Gangzi, that petty person, through schemes and tricks, leaving his whole family living in the Small Shed Room in the back, where they could barely fit their things.

As for this little vegetable patch in front of the door, it was the place where Bang Geng used to play every day. He didn't expect it to be planted with vegetables now; he had to destroy it!

"Let you taste Grandpa Bang Geng's urine and add some fragrance to your vegetables." Bang Geng filled his stomach with water by the well, and before long, he felt the urge. He unzipped his pants, preparing to apply some artificial fertilizer to the vegetable patch.

Before long, a trickling stream descended from the sky. At the same time, the Invisible Poison Needle placed by Zhao Gangzi detected the target. The device activated automatically, and several poison needles shot toward Bang Geng.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Several sounds of air being pierced rang out.

Bang Geng's face suddenly turned ugly, his whole little face flushed red, and immediately after, he couldn't help but let out a miserable scream, falling to the ground with a thud.

"Help, help!"

"Sob, sob, sob, it hurts so much! Someone come save me..."

Bang Geng's painful cries rang out. Shazhu in the Front Courtyard heard them clearly and panicked immediately. Could it be that something had happened to Bang Geng again?

Or was it that Zhao Gangzi had been prepared and set a trap for him again?

Just as Shazhu was about to go back to check, he was grabbed by Zhao Pangzi, who asked with a beaming smile: "Zhuzi, don't be in such a rush to leave! We haven't gotten to the main point yet. Didn't you come to find me because you had something to discuss?"

"Hurry up and say it while I still have some time."

Shazhu's throat went dry. If something happened to Bang Geng, Qin Huairu would definitely not let him off.

He had originally been thinking about how to get rid of Jia Dongxu, but if something happened now, everything would be for nothing. After all, Bang Geng was Qin Huairu's lifeline.

"Gangzi, I... I just wanted to ask you, can I still go back to work in the kitchen?"

Shazhu's voice began to tremble.

Zhao Gangzi smiled slightly and shook his head, saying: "No."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much, I have to go back."

Without another word, Shazhu pulled his arm away from Zhao Gangzi and ran toward the back. Just as he reached the Middle Courtyard, he saw Bang Geng lying on the ground twitching incessantly, his entire skin turning purple, especially his lower body, which was already a dark, bruised purple.

Hearing the commotion, many people ran out. Seeing this scene, quite a few people went to the Back Courtyard to call the members of the Jia Family to come and see.

Jia Zhangshi had been sleeping, but as soon as she heard that something had happened to Bang Geng, she rushed out. Seeing Bang Geng in this state, she immediately cursed loudly: "Oh my! Who harmed my grandson? Don't you know our family only has this one lone seedling?"

"Stand up right now! I'll fight you to the death!"

Jia Zhangshi was so anxious she was jumping up and down.

On the other side, Qin Huairu also arrived upon hearing the news. Seeing this scene, she collapsed in terror.

This condition was clearly poisoning, and not ordinary poison at that; it might even cost him his little life.

"What is going on, son? Why are you like this? How will Mom live from now on!"

Qin Huairu cried out to the heavens, instantly becoming a tear-stained mess. Holding the barely breathing Bang Geng in her arms, her heart was completely shattered.

At this moment, Zhao Gangzi also walked over slowly. It was a good thing he had kept an ace up his sleeve, otherwise his vegetable patch would have really been destroyed by Bang Geng.

Seeing Bang Geng become like this, he only felt that he had brought it upon himself. Furthermore, this type of toxin wasn't fatal; he just considered it a small punishment for him.

"Shazhu! Did you do this? Give me back my son's life!"

Qin Huairu acted like a madwoman, grabbing Shazhu and biting his arm. Shazhu screamed in pain, tears streaming down his face.

After all, Shazhu had promised her before that he would secretly get rid of Jia Dongxu. Perhaps he intended to use such despicable means as poisoning, but she hadn't expected it to be used on Bang Geng.

Shazhu was also full of grievances. He clearly hadn't done anything; he had only asked Bang Geng to steal a sausage. How could this have happened?!

"Sister Qin! Sister Qin! I really didn't do this!"

"It must be Zhao Gangzi! It must be him who poisoned Bang Geng! If you want someone to pay with their life, go find him!"

Shazhu was crying from the pain, feeling as if a piece of his flesh had been bitten off by Qin Huairu, and he hurriedly pointed at Zhao Gangzi with his other hand.
