When Xu Damao returned to the courtyard, he saw the scene of Bang Gang being beaten again.

I haven’t asked for several days. Is this kid okay? Why did he get infected again?

Alas, poor Banggeng, if anyone in the compound spanked their children, their neighbors would come out and give them a few words of advice.

But ever since Banggeng pushed the old lady down, Banggeng had no choice but to be beaten.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't bear it at the side, but after thinking about her husband's comments about the child, she felt at ease and watched the fun with the eldest mother.

When she saw her husband coming back, Lou Xiaoe quickly stepped forward to take the bicycle and put it away.

Only then did Xu Damao know why Bang Geng was beaten again. It turned out that today was Bang Geng's first day of school after his recovery.

The third uncle's words spread throughout the school about what this kid had done while Bangge was hospitalized.

As soon as Bangge went to school today, people called him all kinds of things, and all kinds of nicknames were called very loudly.

Bangge was too timid to resist, but when everyone else went out to play during recess, he threw all the schoolbags belonging to the person who gave him the nickname into the toilet.

It felt good and relieved, but Bangge was afraid of being beaten by a group, so he went home early.

Qin Jingru knew this, so she thought she really was getting out of school early.

As a result, seven or eight parents came over with their children. Qin Jingru was frightened and ran to the factory to tell Jia Fei to go home.

These parents' request was very simple. The schoolbags could be washed and used, and they did not embarrass Jia Fei. However, they had to pay for the books and stationery.

And you have to hurry up and try not to delay the children's study.

The parents of these children have left, and Banggeng has begun to enjoy his first spanking after being discharged from the hospital.

In the beginning, Jia Fei was alone, and Banggeng still had room to maneuver. But later, when Qin Huairu came back, and the two sides were sealed, only Banggeng's screams were left.

You can't blame Jia Fei and Qin Huairu for beating him, and washing his schoolbag is a trivial matter.

Speaking of textbooks, every child needs two textbooks: Chinese studies and arithmetic.

Each book is priced at 1.15 yuan and 0.99 yuan. Each child has two exercise books for 2 yuan, a pencil and an eraser.

Jia Fei needs to pay more than 2 yuan and 4 cents per child, which is nearly 20 yuan for 8 children.

Qin Huairu's monthly salary was not enough, so the beating was not unjust at all.

Seeing that the beating of children in the Jia family was still going on, Xu Damao went back to the house directly.

You can't see the scene and can only listen to the sound. What's the point?

Not long after, Lou Xiao'e and Yu Yu came back together, and while they were cooking, they discussed the matter of Bang Gang getting beaten.

The Jia family has now stopped playing mixed doubles against Banggan, but neither Jia Fei nor Qin Huairu looked at Banggan very well.

Where is the child? A troublemaker has entered the door!

The couple is thinking together outside, why don't Banggeng go and stay with his grandma?

After letting him live a hard life for two years, he will realize that life is not easy.

But the prerequisite is that the money needs to be taken out. When it comes to money, the couple instantly feels uncomfortable. Bangge’s expenses for the past two months are even more than he can afford for a working-class family!

Qin Huairu's mind turned quickly and she immediately thought of asking the third uncle for help.

He is a teacher. If he asks him to help find a few old books, he can save a lot of money, and the remaining exercise books and stationery will not cost much.

In the end, the third uncle offered me a price of 9 yuan to help me find it all. Although I knew that the third uncle wanted a lot, it was still acceptable compared with the new book.

The couple went home for dinner, but poor Banggeng was in pain all over and still hungry.

Xu Damao once again made extra money in the evening, but still handed it over to Lou Xiao'e for safekeeping.

Lou Xiao'e: "Husband, I want to go back to my mother's house and ride my bicycle, okay?"

"You can go if you want. You are marrying me, not selling to me. This is our home, not a prison. I will see you off when you plan to go."

"No, since there's no school tomorrow due to rain, I'll go to my house with her to have lunch, and then I'll take her shopping."

"You see her shoes are like that. It's getting colder and colder. I want to buy her a pair of shoes."

Xu Damao: "My wife is just as kind-hearted as me. I'll get you some more money. You have the final say on what to buy. You can also buy something you like."

Lou Xiao'e: "I don't need you to leave me with enough money to keep."

Xu Damao took out two bottles of medicine from his bag and handed them to Lou Xiao'e: "Give this to your family and use it the same way as before. Remember to keep taking the ones that are good for you."

Xu Damao and his wife were talking and laughing about Silly Zhu.

Lou Xiao'e: "Husband, when I was chatting with some aunts today, I heard that you were often bullied by Silly Zhu when you were a child."

"Then why are you still taking such good care of the rainwater now?"

Xu Damao: "That was all in the past. We were the only two people of about the same age in the courtyard. At that time, we always wanted to compete."

"But you have seen that I am not good at fighting, so I have always been on the suppressed side."

"After my parents left, I finally grew up. What's the point of being in a big courtyard?"

"So what if I become the uncle in the courtyard? The factory can give me an extra two dollars!"

Lou Xiao'e: "What about Rainwater? Helping her is much more than two yuan."

Xu Damao: "Hey Lou Xiao'e, it turns out you are waiting for me here to see if I don't teach you a lesson."

.........after the couple played around for a while.

Xu Damao: "Yu Yu, I told you before, she is as strong as a grass."

"I experienced my mother's death and father's departure early in the morning. If it weren't for the help of the people in the courtyard and relying on Silly Zhu alone, this person might have disappeared long ago."

"Later, when I changed houses with Shazhu, I mainly wanted to help this strong kid, so I made this request casually."

"At that time, I thought that even if they didn't agree, I would have an excuse to help her in the future, otherwise others wouldn't say that I had evil intentions."

"But I still overestimated the position of rain in Shazhu's heart, and underestimated the old lady's vision. They agreed."

"Later, through daily contact, I found out that I actually earned it. Meals, cleaning, laundry, and rainwater were all included. It also allowed me, a lazy person, to take a break."

"As for why it is still the same as before, I think our family is not short of things and food. Sometimes I come back very late at night."

"Even if you don't come back, I can rest assured that the rain will keep you company."

Xu Damao and his wife were chatting and were about to get on track when a man outside the door shouted.

"Da Mao, Damao, are you asleep?"

Xu Damao…….

Why are you shouting in such a hurry this late at night? There must be something going on, so you must quickly agree: "Not yet. Sir, are you okay?"

"If you haven't slept, why don't you come out for a while? I have something to do."

Xu Damao quickly got up, got dressed, and came outside the door.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Let's go to where the old lady is talking first."

When I came to the old lady's house, I found that the other two uncles were also there.

Xu Damao: "Old lady, you..."

When he saw that everyone was gathered, the first man explained why he had called everyone here, and he summed it up in one sentence: Silly Zhu was overturned.

The widow who sold her legs in the south of the city overturned her car. The specific reason is not yet clear. Anyway, the police station there has already come to find her.

After the first man finished speaking, the old lady spoke: "Da Mao, I know that Silly Zhu is sorry for you, and you have always had a knot in your heart about what happened last time."

"To be honest, my wife is disappointed with Silly Zhu. This is the last time I ask you for help for him. I will never care about his affairs again."

"This time, you should treat Silly Zhu as an ordinary neighbor. Take him out first and then talk about it."

The three uncles are the stewards of the courtyard. You can't go if you don't want to. Otherwise, how can you be such an uncle!

Therefore, what the old lady said was mainly directed at Xu Damao. She even mentioned this and promised that it would be the last time.

Xu Damao couldn't refuse at all. No matter how cold the weather was, he still wanted to go if he didn't want to.

Everyone went back to get their things, got dressed and gathered at the entrance of the courtyard.

Xu Damao went home and briefly told his wife to go to bed early. He was not sure when he would be back.

The four bicycles in the compound gathered again, but this time it was not because of Bangge, but because of Silly Pillar.

It was dark and none of the uncles' cars had electric tubes, so they relied on Xu Damao's car to illuminate the road, so it was almost 12 o'clock when we reached the Chengnan Police Station.

The first man came forward, knocked on the door, explained his purpose, and was taken into the house.

The police station heard that among these people were compound managers and factory leaders, so they didn't give them much trouble.

They just brought Shazhu over, scolded them again in front of everyone, and then let them go through the formalities.

Upon hearing that the fine alone was 20 yuan, everyone turned their attention to Xu Damao.

The corners of Xu Damao's eyes twitched when they looked at them. Do I look like someone who has been taken advantage of?

But there is no other way. If you don't pay, you won't know when you can go back. Just pay it first.
