Chapter 1579: Angry Banggeng

~9 min read 1,645 words

Red Star Sihe Academy.

Jia family.

Banggeng paced back and forth in the room anxiously. His face was flushed with anger, and his hair was messy like a hedgehog that had been provoked.

He suddenly stopped his steps, picked up the water cup on the table, and slammed it heavily on the ground.

"Pa!"

"Why can't I find a job?"

He roared angrily with a flushed face: "I'm so excellent! Why is there no unit willing to accept me? Why! Why! They are all blind! They are all fools! They are all bastards who look down on people!"

Banggeng's furious roar echoed in the room, hitting the wall violently. All the anger and frustration were like a volcanic eruption. The anger in his eyes made him look like a wild beast trapped in a cage, scaring Jia Zhangshi into standing in the corner without daring to make a sound.

Looking at her son who was almost crazy, Qin Huairu felt indescribable pain in her heart.

Her heart hurt so much!

Qin Huairu stood at the door, her face full of sorrow, her once charming eyes full of worry and pain.

The primary problem Banggeng faced after returning to the city was work. Failure after failure, disappointment after disappointment, made her see her son's loss and frustration.

Every time Banggeng returned home, he was full of resentment. Those eyes that were once full of vitality were now full of anger and loss, which made her heart ache.

Qin Huairu watched Banggeng silently, her heart full of anxiety. She knew Banggeng's mood was very bad. What he needed was support and encouragement, not more pressure. She also wanted to help Banggeng find a job, but she was just an ordinary little citizen. What could she do?

Every time she saw her son's frustrated appearance, Qin Huairu's heart hurt as if it were being pricked by a needle. She wanted to comfort her son, wanted to tell him that everything would be fine, but she knew how pale and powerless these words were to Banggeng now.

"Abominable! Abominable!"

Banggeng walked back and forth in the room, each step heavier. He stopped again, grabbed the teapot, and smashed it forcefully against the wall. The teapot, which was older than Banggeng, died instantly, leaving a mark on the wall, making Jia Zhangshi cover her chest in pain.

If Qin Huairu broke a bowl, Jia Zhangshi could scold Qin Huairu for a whole day, but Banggeng smashed both the cup and the teapot, and Jia Zhangshi could only hide on the side in pain, not daring to let out a fart, for fear of provoking Banggeng to roar at her.

Respecting elders and being filial to the elderly didn't exist for her eldest grandson Banggeng. Especially after Banggeng returned from the countryside, his temper was even more erratic. He was like a landmine, exploding at a touch, smashing whatever was at hand, which could scare people to death.

Banggeng felt like a bomb at this moment, which might explode at any time. Jia Zhangshi wanted to run out and hide for a while, but Banggeng was walking back and forth in the room, and she was too scared to move. She could only shrink into the corner, occasionally glaring at Qin Huairu, wanting Qin Huairu to appease Banggeng quickly.

Qin Huairu stepped forward to comfort him: "Banggeng, life will always encounter a few hurdles, but there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. Now there are returned youth everywhere, and job positions are limited. Work matters require patience and opportunity. Don't be too anxious."

Banggeng frowned and said impatiently: "Mom, I know work is hard to find, but how long has it been? I've been to the neighborhood office more than a dozen times, but what's the result? Wait for news! Wait for news! They just tell me to wait for news! How long do I have to wait? I can't wait anymore! I don't want to wait!"

Qin Huairu knew Banggeng's mood was unstable, so she gently persuaded him patiently: "Son, I know you're very anxious now, but you can't be anxious. You're so excellent and capable, I believe you will definitely find a good job. You also have to have confidence in yourself. During this time, read more books at home and have a good rest. Mom will help you ask for news at the neighborhood office. Don't be impatient, have patience. As the saying goes, gold will always shine."

Banggeng heard Qin Huairu's comfort and persuasion, and his heart calmed down a little, but his face was still ugly and scary. He sat on the chair angrily, clenching his fists and hammering the table: "Mom! Have you gone to find Cao Weiguo? He can help Xiaodang find a job, so he can help me find a job. I'm a real man, am I not as good as that little girl Xiaodang?"

This made Jia Zhangshi energetic, and she shouted angrily: "That's right, my eldest grandson is so promising, Cao Weiguo is blind, he can't see it. He, as a leader, doesn't reuse a talent like my eldest grandson, that's dereliction of duty."

Qin Huairu said unhappily: "You still have the nerve to say that. If you hadn't offended Cao Weiguo so badly, could he be like this?"

After all, it was a long-term relationship. After Xiaodang graduated, she had no job and didn't want to go to the countryside to join the production teams, so she cried with a sad face all day, begging Qin Huairu day and night.

Qin Huairu was entangled and had no choice, so she thickened her face to ask Cao Weiguo for help, using all her strength to fawn over him, and finally let Cao Weiguo open a gap, entrusting relationships to send Xiaodang into the food factory as a female worker.

After Banggeng returned to the city, Qin Huairu also looked for Cao Weiguo several times, but as soon as Banggeng was mentioned, Cao Weiguo turned and left, as if Banggeng was a pile of stinking dog shit, and hearing the name would make him feel disgusted. This made Qin Huairu angry and annoyed, but what could she do? She could only blame Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi for offending Cao Weiguo too badly and making the relationship too stiff.

Now that Banggeng was in a bad mood, Qin Huairu couldn't say it clearly, so she could only patiently comfort him: "I went to find Cao Weiguo. Although he didn't agree immediately, he didn't refuse either, just saying there was no suitable work. Don't be anxious. He went on a business trip during this time and wasn't in the alley. When he comes back, Mom will go find him. Besides, if there's no Cao Weiguo, isn't there still Sha Zhuzi? Mom has already told Sha Zhuzi to let him look for Factory Director Yang more. He has a good relationship with Factory Director Yang, so he should be able to help with your work."

Banggeng said disdainfully: "Sha Zhuzi? Him? He's still just a broken cook now, only getting twenty-some yuan in wages a month. If he really had a good relationship with the factory director, could he be so miserable? Mom, don't believe Sha Zhuzi's ghost talk. He's just bragging, cheating you. I know him; he's full of bad water. I guess he has ulterior motives, intentionally using the work matter to deceive you, wanting you to marry him. Don't fall for his trick. Finding him is not as good as putting more effort into Cao Weiguo. No matter how bad Cao Weiguo is, he's still a deputy bureau chief. Even his fart has more weight than Sha Zhuzi."

Jia Zhangshi echoed from the side: "My eldest grandson is right. That bastard Sha Zhuzi has no good intentions. He doesn't even take a piss to look at his own virtue. What kind of thing is he? A thing that people hate and dogs abandon. Stay away from him. If I find out you're messing around with him and doing things that disgrace the Jia family's gate, I'll peel your skin."

Outside the house, Sha Zhuzi, who was carrying a net bag and lunch box, happened to hear this sentence. He stood still like a wooden chicken, his body as if it had been hit by a immobilization spell, stiff as if it had been poured with cement. Indescribable humiliation and anger ignited like a wild fire.

"Ungrateful old pious woman! Unfeedable white-eyed wolf!"

Sha Zhuzi stared at the Jia house with eyes full of fire, wishing he could burn the house down, burn Jia Zhangshi, this old pious woman who kills the donkey after the mill is finished, into ashes. How good was he, He Yuzhu, to Jia Zhangshi? He brought back leftovers every few days, and even if he couldn't bear to eat them himself, he had to be filial to Jia Zhangshi, but in the end, he fed such a thing that was worse than a pig or dog.

"Zhuzi, why are you standing here?"

Just then, Yi Zhonghai appeared behind him like a ghost. One sentence made the Jia house suddenly silent, as if someone had suddenly pressed the mute button.

Sha Zhuzi forced an ugly smile: "Uncle Yi, it's just that the leader received guests and left a little food. I brought it back, wanting to improve the food for Huairu."

Yi Zhonghai laughed: "I didn't misjudge people. You have a kind heart in this courtyard, knowing that Huairu's family life is not easy, and helping out when there is a chance. Good job. Huairu is at home, I'll go in with you."

Before Sha Zhuzi could speak, Yi Zhonghai dragged Sha Zhuzi into the Jia house. That enthusiastic energy—those who didn't know would think Yi Zhonghai was the man of this Jia family. ===== CHAPTER 1581 =====
