Chapter 721: Banggeng

Sihe Academy

Those who worked had already left for work, and Shazhu had also gone out to look for odd jobs.

Banggeng pretended to have a stomachache and didn't go to school; once he saw that people had mostly left, he began his operation.

Originally, he wanted to go to Xu Damao's house and Cao Weiguo's house.

But the Second Aunt was washing clothes in the backyard.

Furious and gnashing his teeth, he stomped his foot and returned to the middle courtyard.

After rolling his eyes, he entered Shazhu's house and began rummaging through the room without any restraint.

But after searching for a long time, he only found a bottle of unfinished liquor and half a bowl of peanuts.

"Shazhu, that poor wretch!"

"He really is a piece of trash!"

Disappointed, he took the items and left the room, then turned and entered He Yushui's room.

"Wow! I'm rich!"

"That money-losing goods He Yushui is actually rich!"

He rummaged through the room, not sparing the cupboard, the bed, or anything else.

In He Yushui's wardrobe, Banggeng found a lunchbox.

When he opened it, Banggeng's eyes went wide.

Inside were quite a few small change and grain coupons.

Banggeng stuffed everything into his pockets in one go.

He didn't leave a single cent behind.

"Banggeng!"

"You went to Shazhu's room again, didn't you!"

"Let Grandma see what you took."

As soon as Banggeng got home, he was grabbed by Jia Zhangshi.

Without a word, she searched Banggeng until he was empty-handed.

Seeing the small change and grain coupons, Jia Zhangshi's eyes turned red.

"My good grandson! You are so capable!"

"Grandma will keep this money and these coupons for you."

"When the New Year comes, Grandma will buy you candy and new clothes."

Banggeng wanted to snatch the money back, but how could he compete with Jia Zhangshi?

Not only did he fail to get the money back, but he also received two slaps on his backside.

"You old hag!"

"Sooner or later, I'll drive you out to the streets to beg for food!"

Glaring at Jia Zhangshi with resentment, Banggeng ran out of the room in a huff.

Jia Zhangshi didn't yet know that her good grandson had started to hate her.

She was happily counting the money and grain coupons in the room.

Now, her retirement savings had increased quite a bit.

As the sun slanted to the west, Shazhu returned home, dejected.

As soon as he entered, his eyes widened; his bed had been ransacked into a mess.

The cupboard and wardrobe were both open, and the liquor and peanuts were gone.

Shazhu's complexion turned ugly, as if he had eaten a pot of excrement.

That liquor and those peanuts were his only remaining food.

"Banggeng, that brat!"

"Why does he take everything!"

Shazhu didn't need to guess to know it was Banggeng's doing.

But for the sake of Qin Huairu, he couldn't bring himself to go to the Jia house to confront Banggeng.

He could only swallow his anger and take this silent loss.

Soon, the residents of the courtyard returned home from work one after another.

He Yushui also returned, carrying vegetables and cornmeal.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the opened wardrobe.

She hurried to the wardrobe to check; the lunchbox was already empty.

Over seven yuan in small change and more than ten catties of grain coupons were all gone.

"Banggeng!"

"Did you go to my house to steal things today!"

"Stealing food is one thing!"

"How could you steal money and grain coupons!"

He Yushui ran out of the room in a rage, stormed into the Jia house, and confronted Banggeng.

Banggeng said indifferently, "I didn't go to your house."

Jia Zhangshi shouted viciously, "What kind of dog farts are you spouting, you money-losing goods!"

"My Banggeng is the best-behaved; how could he possibly steal things!"

"Stop slandering people here, or be careful that I don't tear your mouth apart!"

He Yushui was trembling with rage:

"Jia Zhangshi! Banggeng definitely stole the things!"

"If you don't return the money and grain coupons to me today, I'll go report this to the authorities immediately."

Jia Zhangshi pounced on He Yushui like a demon:

"You money-losing goods, you're framing my grandson! I'll scratch you to death!"

"Jia Zhangshi, you are bullying people too much!" ===== CHAPTER 723 =====
