Chapter 413: Bang Geng Demands Payment

「Yi Zhonghai, return my family's money. 」

The more Bang Geng thought about meat, the more fragrant it seemed, and the more he craved money.

Xiao Dang sold eight hundred, it's unreasonable that Huaihua gets not a cent.

Yi Zhonghai was still lost in the beautiful dream of luring Bang Geng with meat, never imagining he'd end up like this.

Yi Zhonghai's face twitched, Yi Da Ma was astonished, and they still thought there must be some misunderstanding.

"Bang Geng, how does our family owe your family money?"

Bang Geng pointed at Huaihua and said angrily.

"Xiao Dang sold eight hundred, what right do you have to not give a single cent?"

"No, Huaihua also needs eight hundred."

Yi Zhonghai scolded?

"Nonsense, Huaihua, you're the one Grandma didn't want to raise, you're the one she raised, haven't you noticed your surname hasn't changed?"

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai shouted at the Jia family.

"Jia Zhangshi, what are you up to?"

"Hurry up and take Bang Geng back, what kind of talk is this?"

By then the weather had gotten a bit warm, so at dinner everyone kept their doors open.

Bang Geng shouted, and quickly attracted many people.

The most enthusiastic were the San Da Ye family.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai want Jia Zhangshi to come out and settle the trouble, San Da Ye voluntarily said.

"Bang Geng, how do you say your good grandfather owes you money?"

Bang Geng said angrily.

"Yi Zhonghai raised our Jia family's Huaihua without paying, while Xiao Dang still gave eight hundred."

Yan Jiecheng saw Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng arguing and was delighted beyond measure.

"Exactly, Yi Da Ma, you're indeed wrong; Huaihua is a fine young lady given to your family, and not giving a single cent is truly unjustifiable."

As for right or wrong, he couldn't care less; as long as Yi Zhonghai suffers, anything goes.

The Yan family father and son played off each other, making Bang Geng's arrogance even more inflated.

"Exactly, Yi Zhonghai, if you don't pay, I'll fight you to the death today."

Without Qin Huairu's restraint, Bang Geng gradually became arrogant again, and with Jia Zhangshi's encouragement, he felt utterly justified.

Yi Zhonghai was so angry he could barely stand it, and seeing the crowd grow larger and larger.

"San Da Ye, you don't understand the situation, so don't spout nonsense."

He also said to the others.

"Everyone go home and eat, there's nothing to see."

Afterwards he roared at the Jia family.

"Jia Zhangshi, come out for me."

Jia Zhangshi hid by the stove, refusing to come out; she also wanted to eat meat, and since Bang Geng had extorted money, she deserved a share.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi not come out, Yi Zhonghai knew what she was thinking.

He reached out to pull Bang Geng, but Bang Geng dodged.

He lured, saying.

"Bang Geng, come inside to eat, there's meat."

He also said to the others.

"Everyone go back, it's just a child throwing a tantrum."

At that moment Xu Damao also came over, saw the situation, and immediately said.

"Elder One, what exactly is going on? Explain clearly—don't you see Bang Geng doesn't want to go back with you?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately took up the conversation.

"Bang Geng has come to demand money; Elder One adopted Huaihua, agreeing to give eight hundred but hasn't paid."

"Now the Jia family has only two members, no income, can't get by, so they've come to ask for money."

"As a result, Elder One refuses to acknowledge the debt, and is now facing off against Bang Geng."

Hearing this, Xu Damao immediately understood Yan Jiecheng's meaning and spoke righteously.

"Elder One, you're wrong like this; whether as a godfather or not, you not only fail to help your godson but also try to dodge the debt—this is utterly unfair."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened; he couldn't fail to see that Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were singing in unison to trap him.

Just as he was about to explain, Bang Geng also understood, and San Da Ye, taking advantage of Xu Damao drawing fire, winked at him.

He immediately lay on the ground and burst into loud tears.

"Oh dear, Grandfather, Father, come out and have a look—I and Grandma are about to be bullied to death."

Bang Geng's shout had already captured the essence of Jia Zhangshi.

Many people almost laughed out loud.

The number of people being lured also increased further.

"Nonexistent things are all because this child Bang Geng doesn't understand anything."

Yi Zhonghai hurried to explain.

Yi Da Ma also chimed in.

"Back then, everything went through the Jiedao, and we all signed the adoption papers."

"There was never any mention of money."

"Jia Ling is unwanted by Jia Zhangshi; I had no choice, I couldn't just watch the child starve to death, so I adopted the child."

Everyone actually knows what's going on.

But this has nothing to do with them, and moreover, Elder Uncle has a lot of money, which everyone knows.

The Jia family can't get by anymore; needing some money, how could that be? They are happy to see it happen.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were still fanning the flames from the side.

"Look, look, Elder Uncle, this is your fault; look, you've made Bang Geng angry."

"Doing this, foster grandfather, is not acceptable."

Yan Jiecheng looked toward Yi Zhonghai's house; there was plenty of meat.

"Look, you eat meat yourself, while you let the foster grandchild gnaw on steamed corn bread."

"What a poor Bang Geng."

Under the meddling of those two, Yi Zhonghai couldn't explain himself even if he tried.

Elder Aunt also saw that this was aimed at Yi Zhonghai.

It seems he brought this trouble upon himself; she then explained a few sentences, seeing no effect, and at this moment locust flower was frightened by this posture and started to cry.

She seized the opportunity to hug the child and go inside, not coming out again.

Er Da Ye also came out then; now he's a director, incredibly awesome.

Compared to Yi Zhonghai's eighth-level worker pay, it's much more; although it was obtained dishonorably, a director is still a director.

He walked with his hands behind his back, in an eight-character gait, swaying as he came before Yi Zhonghai.

Xu Damao exaggerated the story from the side, and Er Da Ye became energized.

"Elder Uncle, doing this lets down the authority the compound gave you."

"Look, look, Bang Geng is so small, he has no father or mother, yet you still bully him—I can't stand to watch."

"Such behavior tarnishes the compound, tarnishes the street office, is destroying the nation's blossoms, is undermining state policy."

"This is a big problem; you need to be properly educated."

Yi Zhonghai saw the hat getting bigger and bigger, and didn't dare let them continue causing trouble.

He also experienced today the pain of being controlled by others.

Bang Geng wailed on the ground, making him so angry he couldn't bear it.

I feel I was blind before, accepting such a thing as a grandchild.

Seeing his posture of refusing to give up without money, Yi Zhonghai actually had no way to deal with such a rascal.

He shouted angrily.

"I'll give, I'll give—what, still not enough? Fine, I'm blind."

"But this money, I'm giving it out of respect for Dong Xu."

"It's not money for buying locust flower; locust flower is unwanted by Jia Zhangshi, we had no choice, so we had to raise it."

"This matter, the street office knows; if anyone has an opinion, go to the street office."

"Finally, once this money is given, I will no longer care about the Jia family."

"I can't afford to raise it anymore."

Having said that, he angrily went back inside to get the money.

Now, because of the noisy crowd in the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi hiding inside couldn't hear anything clearly.

As soon as Bang Geng heard there was money to be had, he didn't care about that; with money, he could eat meat and candy.

He could also buy firecrackers.

He had already imagined the admiring gazes of his little friends.
