Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Without money, Bang Geng had no way to complete the procedures.

Brother Wei's family wished Banggeng would return to the city immediately and not stay here.

In order to get Banggeng to leave, he asked his wife to persuade Banggeng.

Sister Feng grabbed Banggeng's hand and said, "You'd better find a way to leave quickly."

I'm afraid that one day, when your brother Wei has had too much to drink, he might leak the news.

Banggeng said helplessly, "I have no money on me and I don't know anyone. How am I supposed to get the paperwork done?"

I can't just run back to Beijing.

"If I go back to the city like that, I won't be able to find a job."

The main problem is that you can't buy a train ticket without the proper paperwork.

It's thousands of miles from here to Beijing. Bang Geng has never experienced hardship, so there's no way he could go back.

Sister Feng said, "You can write a letter and ask your family to send you money."

Didn't you say your family was well-off? I don't believe you can't afford it.

When Banggeng arrived, he looked disgusted and clearly looked down on the cornbread.

Later everyone found out that at home, the worst food they ate was cornbread made from two kinds of flour.

The cornbread in the Northwest is made from coarse grain flour, along with some tree leaves and other ingredients.

Where have you ever eaten something like this?

In his memory, his family had never eaten anything like this.

He has never been hungry since he was a child.

The Jia family's circumstances were far inferior to those of He Yuzhu's family.

But compared to others, he was much better off. He was about the same age as Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang, and they had played together since childhood.

Liu Guangfu was beaten for eating an extra bite of cornbread; Yan Jiekuang had hardly ever eaten wheat flour.

This made Banggeng realize that the Jia family's circumstances were much better than the other two families'.

Furthermore, when he was a child, he secretly saw that both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu had hidden a large sum of money.

In order to convince others that he was not lying, he told them that his family was well-off.

In addition, he is usually very generous, so everyone in the neighborhood knows that Bang-geng's family is wealthy.

If Banggeng hadn't been so disappointing, unable to even keep up with an old lady in terms of work, the young girls in the neighborhood wouldn't have given up on him.

Bang Geng dared not write a letter, fearing Qin Huairu would scold him. He couldn't tell Sister Feng this; that would be too embarrassing.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Feng Jia continued, "Bang Geng, your Brother Wei got the money and is drinking and eating meat every day."

The others noticed and started asking him about it in secret.

I'm really afraid that one day he'll let something slip.

If other people find out, they'll definitely come after you for money.

If you don't give it to them, they will report you.

But if you were to give it to me, how much money could you possibly have?

"I'm really doing this for your own good. You should hurry up and find a way to get back to the city."

Bang Geng was terrified when he heard this. He didn't care about Qin Huairu's scolding and quickly wrote a letter and sent it to Qin Huairu.

Ever since she wrote to Bang Geng, Qin Huairu has been counting down the days until Bang Geng returns.

She waited and waited, for a very long time, but the stick never came.

Madam Jia was also anxious and urged, "The New Year is less than a month away, why hasn't Banggeng come back yet?"

Qin Huairu was also anxious and said, "Mom, don't worry, she should be back soon."

As the two were talking, Xiao Dang walked in from outside.

"Mom, where's your personal seal? The postman said there's mail for our family and he needs your seal."

Madam Jia asked with delight, "Did Bang Geng write back?"

Xiao Dang said, "He said it was a letter from the Northwest, it should be from my brother."

Qin Huairu quickly found her personal seal and ran outside herself.

Yi Zhonghai, wanting to know what was written in the letter, tried to get it back by taking advantage of his acquaintance with the postman.

But the postman is required to deliver the letter to the family.

It was impossible for Yi Zhonghai to get the letter back just by talking. He Yuzhu saw this and remembered that Yi Zhonghai had intercepted the money He Daqing had sent back.

Why was Yi Zhonghai able to steal He Daqing's heart?

The reason still lies with Sha Zhu.

After He Daqing left, Sha Zhu acted like a fool, listening to everything Yi Zhonghai said.

Yi Zhonghai knew better than Sha Zhu where the family's household registration book was kept.

In addition, Sha Zhu was fooled by Yi Zhonghai and never locked the door.

When Yi Zhonghai and his wife entered Sha Zhu's house, they acted as if they were in their own home.

This made it easier for Yi Zhonghai and his wife to intercept He Daqing's letter.

He Daqing had made an agreement with Yi Zhonghai to send letters on the 15th of each month, and they would be received by the 18th at the latest.

Yi Zhonghai and the old lady took Sha Zhu's household registration book home in advance and waited for the postman outside.

Once, Sha Zhu needed his household registration booklet, but after searching the entire house, he couldn't find it.

Having no other choice, he went to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai reprimanded him, blaming him for carelessly throwing away his household registration book.

It was said that it was for Sha Zhu's safekeeping.

At that time, Sha Zhu was basically fooled by Yi Zhonghai. Even if Yi Zhonghai said shit smelled good, Sha Zhu wouldn't argue.

He certainly wouldn't suspect Yi Zhonghai just because of a household registration book.

After this incident, Sha Zhu's household registration book was kept at Yi Zhonghai's house most of the time.

Later, when Sha Zhu grew up, he made his own personal seal. Yi Zhonghai then used the same method to obtain the seal.

With his household registration booklet, personal seal, and good reputation at the time, the postman never imagined that he would do something like intercepting other people's mail.

Later, He Yuzhu never noticed that the postman thought Sha Zhu had received the letter, and that even if Yi Zhonghai and his wife didn't bring their household registration book and personal seal, he would still give it to them.

As for whether Yi Zhonghai and his wife gave the postman any benefits, that's hard to say.

Once you get to know them, the postman will deliver the mail to you even without your household registration book or personal seal.

Only strangers would look at a person's personal seal and household registration book.

Take He Yuzhu's family as an example, because He Yushui wrote letters to He Daqing every month when she was a child.

He Yuqing also frequently corresponded with her, and the postman had known them for a long time.

As long as it's someone from the He family, they'll give it to them directly upon meeting them.

When the postman refused to give it to him, Liu Haizhong said, "Old Yi married Qin Huairu, and he is Banggeng's stepfather."

It would save you so much trouble to just give him the letter.

The mailman hadn't said anything yet.

Qin Huairu walked out of the Intermediate People's Court and asked, "Comrade, was this a letter sent by Bang Geng?"

The postman replied, "Yes."

Qin Huairu jogged over, took out her household registration book and personal seal: "I am Banggeng's mother, give me the letter."

After checking it and finding no problems, the postman gave it to Qin Huairu and then left.

As for what Liu Haizhong said, nobody cared.

He Yuzhu stared speechlessly at Liu Haizhong. "How old is he? He still doesn't seem to have a brain."

Yi Zhonghai wants to read the letter; he can ask Qin Huairu for it after she has finished reading it.

Why do we have to stop it in advance?
Yan Bugui didn't say anything, so why is he showing off?

Qin Huairu took the letter and rushed home without even glancing at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai sat down with a dark expression.

Liu Haizhong, however, didn't sense anything: "Old Yi, if you care about Bang Geng, go back and check the letter."

Yan Bugui couldn't stand it any longer and quietly kicked Liu Haizhong: "Are you not going to play chess or not? If not, we'll replace you."

"Go, why wouldn't I go? I'm about to win, you can't run away."

Yan Bugui then pulled Liu Haizhong to play chess. This time, he played more seriously, and Liu Haizhong's brain couldn't keep up, so he could only concentrate on the game.

Yi Zhonghai sat to the side, glanced at it absentmindedly for a few moments, and then got up and left.

The whereabouts of the stick-like creature were extremely important to him. (End of Chapter)
