Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

The woman jumped up in fright, screamed, stood up, and ran outside in a panic, pulling up her trousers.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Bang Geng and ran away, pulling Xiao Dang along with her.

At this moment, the woman's husband and son ran over. After hearing the woman's description of the situation, they immediately chased after the stick in a fit of rage.

"You bastard, stop right there!"

The stalk runs ahead, but its heart remains behind.

Despite running at top speed, even dragging Xiao Dang into the air, he was still caught up by the middle-aged man and the young man.

"Come at me, don't touch my sister!"

After saying this, Bang Geng put his hands on his head, and the middle-aged man, who had a bad temper, kicked Bang Geng to the ground.

The young man followed closely behind and also kicked hard.

They didn't try anything with Xiao, after all, she was just a little girl, and it wouldn't be that bad.

So, Xiao Dang burst into tears.

Soon, many people were drawn by the sound of the explosion and gathered around to watch the two men beat up the stick.

After learning about the situation, everyone was naturally angry about Banggeng's behavior of throwing firecrackers in the public toilet.

The people from the four courtyards nearby all use this public toilet, and this is the first time I've ever seen a child do such a despicable thing.

After kicking for a while, the two men got tired and started loudly questioning which courtyard the stick belonged to, where it lived, and demanding compensation for medical expenses!

Banggeng lay on the ground, still recovering from the shock. In addition to being frightened, he was also in excruciating pain because he had been kicked in the right hand while trying to protect his head, which had injured three of his fingers.

Later, he forgot about his headache, clutched his chest tightly with his right hand, and his whole body was covered with shoe prints.

Seeing that Banggeng remained silent and Xiaodang could only cry, the two men asked the onlookers if anyone recognized the child.

"These are the children of the Jia Zhang family, who live in the Hongxing Courtyard."

There were indeed residents of Hongxing Courtyard in the crowd, but how could they possibly stand up? It would be too shameful!

There's a competitive spirit in every household, and these housewives spend their days gossiping about these trivial matters.

Soon, everyone gathered around Banggeng and Xiaodang and arrived at the Hongxing Courtyard.

Yan Bugui was taking advantage of the situation at the door as usual when he suddenly saw a large crowd rushing in, which startled him.

"What happened?"

"Oh dear, is this a hamster? Who beat you up like this? That's too much!"

"What's so excessive!" the two men protested. "If he weren't just a child, he deserved to be beaten."

Yan Bugui immediately realized there was a reason behind it all. "What bad thing did he do?"

After listening to everyone's excited descriptions, Yan Bugui looked at Bang Geng, whose face was bruised and swollen, and thought to himself, "Serves him right."

This is too outrageous!

If this scares someone so much that they can't get out of the toilet, then Bang Geng will be in even worse shape.

Then, Yan Bugui and his family also went to see what was going on.

In the backyard, Zhao De told them to continue eating, while he followed Liu Guangtian, who had come to inform them, to watch the excitement.

"Qin Huairu, how do you discipline your child!"

Qin Huairu had just returned home and was wondering where Banggeng and Xiaodang had gone when she received this pleasant surprise.

Upon hearing what had happened, Qin Huairu's tears immediately streamed down her face.

"He's just a child, how could you be so cruel!" Qin Huairu was both angry at Bang Geng for causing trouble and angry at the other party for beating her son like this.

The middle-aged man had already beaten up Bang Geng and vented his anger. When he saw that the other party was a pregnant woman, he originally planned to let it go as long as he sincerely apologized.

But he was furious when he heard these words!

"We're ruthless? Don't you see what stupid thing he did? There are so many kids in this yard, and your kid is the first to throw firecrackers into the toilet!"

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, his son immediately chimed in: "That's right, he's so old and still so immature. You're in the bathroom, and suddenly a firecracker goes off, it might scare the child to death!"

Qin Huairu glared at the man with resentment, wishing she could tear his mouth apart.

But she knew she had said the wrong thing, and the neighbors were criticizing her, so she could only silently endure it.

If only Sha Zhu were here!

With no man in the house now, Qin Huairu couldn't help but think of Sha Zhu, but unfortunately...

"Everyone, calm down. I am Yi Zhonghai, the old man in this courtyard."

He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "For my sake, let Qin Huairu sincerely apologize, and we'll call it even, okay?"

Clearly, the two knew each other.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Alright, for your sake, Master Yi, next time something like this happens, regardless of whether it involves our family, it won't be resolved so easily!"

Then, Qin Huairu apologized, and the crowd dispersed, but the people in the courtyard remained, discussing how to educate their children.

"Banggeng, where did you get your firecrackers?"

Qin Huairu sorted out the whole matter and found the key point.

"Zhao De was setting off firecrackers with his kids just now, and I picked them up while following behind."

Bang Geng was prepared; he had considered how to explain himself if he was discovered when he took the money.

But the incident happened so suddenly that Banggeng didn't have time to hide the unfinished firecrackers before Qin Huairu discovered them.

Even Xiao Dang had one in his pocket.

Judging by the quantity, it must be worth at least two yuan. Qin Huairu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Bang Geng, where did you get the money to buy firecrackers? I'll only ask you once." Qin Huairu held a feather duster, both angry and resentful.

At this moment, some neighbors also noticed that something was wrong, and their faces showed unease.

Bang Geng suddenly has money to buy firecrackers, could it be that he stole his own money?

However, only a few neighbors went home to check; most people remained calm and motionless.

The reason is that after Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai lost their valuables, everyone became very vigilant and had long since changed the location where they hid their money.

The place where money used to be hidden might only be considered S-level, but now it's SSS-level.

For example, Yan Bugui believed that unless they dug three feet into the ground, they would never find his family's valuables.

At this moment, Banggeng told Qin Huairu that the money was found, and Yan Bugui immediately had an idea after hearing this.

He pushed up his glasses. "Bang Geng, where did you find the money? There must be somewhere, right?"

Good heavens! Everyone turned to look at Yan Bugui, and those who reacted quickly already understood.

"I found it at a car repair shop at the entrance of the alley."

Banggeng glared fiercely at Yan Bugui. This guy must be here to take advantage of you!

Sure enough, Yan Bugui slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! I dropped this money, Huairu, give it back to me quickly!"

Zhao De watched from the side, feeling both annoyed and amused. "You, Yan Bugui, are really something else!"

Perhaps seeing that Jia Zhangshi was not present, Yan Bugui felt he had an opportunity to scheme, but he did not know that Qin Huairu was not so easy to deal with.

"You didn't drop this money!" Bang Geng couldn't help but retort. Indeed, if he had to pay out another two yuan, Bang Geng would only be eyeing the Yan family from now on.

Qin Huairu glared at Bang Geng, signaling him to be quiet, and immediately realized that the money probably wasn't found.

Qin Huairu said, "Uncle, you didn't say how much money was lost. I think you should go to the street office tomorrow to apply for the money, and I'll have Banggeng hand over the things we found."

"If the amount matches, you can take it directly. But if it doesn't match, what you're taking from me is someone else's lost money. That's reasonable, isn't it?"

Yan Bugui pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a response. He had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

"Everyone, let's go home. It's so cold, go back and get some rest. We have work to do tomorrow!"

Yi Zhonghai waved to signal, and Zhao De noticed that he had entered the Jia family's house as he left.

Ignoring him, Zhao De went home and had a lively dinner with his family, eating until he was covered in sweat.

Dinner was simple: a stew made with leftover vegetables and ingredients from lunch. It was quick and easy, since everyone was tired after a long day.

Then, Zhao De and Yu Li escorted them home as if they were taking a walk.

During the conversation, Yu Haitang said she would sleep here that night, but before Zhao De could respond, Yu's mother said that she was being unreasonable.

When Zhao De returned, he passed by the lake where the accident had occurred at noon and saw that the lakeside had been fenced off with wooden railings.

The two arrived home at 7:30 p.m.

Zhao De habitually turned on the radio to listen to the sounds and create an atmosphere. At that moment, he saw Yu Li blushing as she busied herself burning charcoal to prepare hot water.

"Take a break!" Zhao De shouted.

Foreplay also takes time!

"I'll get you some hot water so you can wash your face and feet."

"All right!"

Fast forward, fast forward, fast forward...
