Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The next day, when Banggeng woke up, he remembered what had happened the night before and was immediately terrified.

If what happened yesterday were exposed, he would definitely be arrested.

Just as Banggeng was wondering what to do, Brother Wei and Sister Feng walked in from outside.

"Brother Wei, Sister Feng, what happened last night?"

Brother Wei looked at him with a cold smile: "Bang Geng, I never thought you were that kind of person."

Banggeng hurriedly explained, "Brother Wei, listen to me, I'm drunk, I don't know anything."

I've forgotten everything that happened last night.

With a new weakness at his disposal, Brother Wei naturally wouldn't care about yesterday's little incident.

Compared to catching someone cheating, Bang Geng's letter was more practical.

"Shut up. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm asking you, what did the letter your family sent you say?"

Bang Geng was startled and hurriedly searched his pillow. When he saw that the place where he had kept the letter was empty, he was terrified.

Once that letter is handed over to the educated youth office, he'll be truly finished.

This is deceiving the country.

It's even more serious than sleeping with Sister Feng.

After realizing what had happened, Banggeng immediately pleaded, "Brother Wei, I beg you, give me back the letter. If you hand it over, I'll be killed."

Brother Wei sneered, "Don't worry. I won't hand it in."

However, Banggeng, you know our family's situation. Your sister-in-law just gave birth and doesn't have enough breast milk.

Upon hearing this, Banggeng understood and offered, "I'll give you a hundred yuan to help Sister Feng recover."

"One hundred dollars?"

"Yes, one hundred yuan. Brother Wei, we don't even earn one hundred yuan a year here."

This hundred yuan will definitely allow your family to live a good life.

Brother Wei sneered, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Is your own life only worth that much?"

Banggeng thought to himself, "Aren't you a beggar? You've been begging for food for years."

Of course, he only dared to complain in his heart and didn't dare to say it out loud.

"Then I'll give you one hundred and fifty yuan."

This is what Banggeng said through gritted teeth.

Having grown up with two widows, Banggeng was inherently stingy.

The reason he was able to give so much at once was because he lacked experience.

If it were Qin Huairu, she would have given at most ten yuan at the beginning.

Brother Wei said coldly, "I'm not going to argue with you. Give me all four hundred yuan mentioned in this letter. I'll pretend I never saw this letter."

If you were capable of faking illness and obtaining the right to return to the city, I wouldn't have reported you.

As long as he gets money from Banggeng, Brother Wei is more than happy for Banggeng to leave.

BJ is thousands of miles away. It's impossible for Bang Geng to come back and ask him for that money.

Bang Geng was naturally unhappy to hear this. If he gave all the money to Brother Wei, how would he get the diagnosis and return to the city?

"If I don't have money, who can I turn to?"

Brother Wei left with the words "I don't care" and turned to leave.

Sister Feng didn't leave.

The couple had agreed to use a combination of soft and hard tactics to deal with someone like Bang Geng.

Sister Feng supported Banggeng, and placed the steamed bun on Banggeng's arm.

"Bang Geng, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making you drink."

Banggeng grabbed Sister Feng's hand and pleaded, "Sister Feng, I beg you, please talk to Brother Wei and tell him not to take all my money."

"What am I going to do if he takes them all?"

Sister Feng said with a wronged expression, "I spoke to him, but he wouldn't listen."

Last night, he wanted to call the police and have you arrested. It was only because my sister stopped him that he didn't call the police.

Look at my arm, it was pinched by your brother Wei.

My sister got a really bad beating from him yesterday.

Her snow-white arm rose up, squeezing the steamed bun tightly against the arm of the stick.

Bang Geng felt a jolt, and his mind became a little foggy.

He looked at the bruises on Sister Feng's arm with heartache: "Why did Brother Wei do that?"

How could he not appreciate someone as good as you?

Sister Feng burst into tears, taking the opportunity to break free from the stick. "It's all because of my miserable life. If only I had met you sooner, I would definitely have married you."

Bang Geng is more clear-headed than Sha Zhu. It's true that he wants to take advantage of the widow, but he definitely has no intention of marrying her.

"Sister Feng, stop talking. What should I do now? Can you help me get the letter back?"

The Jia family's motto is: stealing other people's things isn't stealing, it's taking.

Sister Feng's face showed a look of horror: "That won't do. Don't you know Brother Wei's temper?"
If he finds out, he'll kill me.

Let's think of another way.

Banggeng leaned weakly against the wall: "What other options are there?"

Seeing that the time was right, Sister Feng revealed the plan they had discussed.

"Why don't you just give all the money to your brother Wei? I promise you, he'll definitely give you the letter after he gets the money."

The thought of giving away four hundred yuan to someone else for nothing made Bang Geng feel heartbroken.

This was the first time in his life he had had so much money.

With this money, there's nothing he can't do.

When Sister Feng saw that Banggeng didn't speak, she knew that he was unwilling.

"How about this, you go to the educated youth office and turn yourself in, and tell them the contents of the letter."

If they knew you would put aside your own family for the greater good, they would never suspect you.

Banggeng's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."

Right now, Bang Geng only wants to keep his money. He hasn't considered the consequences if he turns himself in.

Once he turns himself in, Qin Huairu, who wrote the letter first, won't be able to escape. The news will definitely reach Beijing.

Beijing has received the news and will not let Qin Huairu off the hook.

The fact that I pretended to be sick to return to the city is not a secret, but you can't make a scene about it.

Once this gets out, it will involve far too many people.

Furthermore, Bang Geng himself won't have an easy time either. By reporting him, he's cut off others' path back to the city.

Those people must hate him to death.

When Sister Feng saw that Bang Geng agreed, her heart skipped a beat.

For their family, it would be best if Bang Geng didn't agree.

"I'm reminding you. If you turn yourself in, the educated youth office will make you a prime example."

"You can forget about going back in this lifetime."

One sentence shattered Bang Geng's excitement.

The rural areas in Northwest China are truly impoverished. So poor that there aren't even any thieves.

Bang Geng possesses the skills of a master thief, but has no opportunity to utilize them.

When he first arrived in Northwest China, he was incredibly hungry for chicken. Whenever he saw other people's chickens, he thought of beggar's chicken.

But he didn't dare to do it.

There are only eight chickens in the entire village. There's nowhere to buy chickens within a ten-mile radius.

If a chicken goes missing, the whole village will search for it.

If anyone finds out, they'll beat him to death.

Making him spend his whole life in this impoverished place would be like taking his life.

He will never agree to it, no matter what.

"Is there no other way?"

Sister Feng shook her head: "These are the only two methods I can think of."

You need to make a decision quickly, otherwise your brother Wei will be too impatient to wait and will report you, and then you'll be finished.

Actually, I'd like you to stay here..."

Banggeng quickly waved his hand: "Sister Feng, please stop. Even if you kill me, I would never stay here for the rest of my life."

I can't wait to leave here and go back to Beijing.

Once he returned home, his family, who doted on him, would never let him suffer.

He still wants to go back to find a job and marry a beautiful wife.

Tempted by the prospect of going home, Banggeng finally gave in and agreed to Brother Wei's request.

Brother Wei kept his word and gave the letter to Banggeng after receiving the money.

“Your brother Wei keeps his word. He didn’t tell anyone else but the three of us.”

Now you can try to figure out how to get the paperwork to return to the city. (End of Chapter)
