Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

He called Xiao Dang over, then glanced at Bang Geng, who was leaning against the wall smoking, and called him over as well.

"Tell me what exactly happened!"

After Yingzi finished speaking, she looked into the house but did not see the main character, Huaihua.

Where is the locust flower person?

"Ran."

"What?"

Yingzi was stunned. She ran away? How could she have run away?

The creditors have chased her all the way from Shenzhen to the capital. Where else can she run? She'll just have to wander around instead of staying at home. She should go find that bad man who cheated her.

"I don't know, his brother said a few harsh words and then he ran away." Qin Huairu gritted her teeth. "It's better that he ran away, I hope he dies out there and never comes back."

She was truly heartbroken this time.

You've been away from home for so many years, and when we assign you work, you refuse to do it. When we ask you to do business with your sister, you complain about everything.

Going off to venture into the deepest parts of the world on your own? Fine, go ahead and try!

You caused such a big mess as soon as you came back, but your family didn't say they wouldn't take care of you. They all discussed how to solve the problem for you.

Just because your brother said a few harsh words, calling you brainless and thinking you could get rich, a man has completely fooled you.

You got angry and ran away.

hey~

She has a really bad temper.

Thinking about it again, Qin Huairu almost laughed out of anger. "Cough cough cough~"

After a violent coughing fit, Qin Huairu leaned against the headboard, her face flushed, too weak to speak.

She'll be driven to her death by these ancestors sooner or later.

I thought that with Bang Geng recovered and Xiao Dang becoming successful, there was nothing left to worry about except the youngest son.

But to everyone's surprise, this very young child had a huge bowel movement.

"Then, should we find the person first?"

Hearing the housewife's words, Xiao Dang forced a smile and said, "No need to look, she'll be back in a bit. If my little sister were really capable of carrying it herself, she wouldn't have run home."

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Mom, Mom, Sister, open the door quickly! Someone wants to take me to pay off a debt! Help! Help!"

The people inside looked at each other, and finally Bang Geng sighed heavily, got up and went outside to open the door.

"What are you doing!"

With a fierce shout, the creditors who were shoving each other at the door stopped. Huaihua cleverly shrank her neck and slipped through the crowd to hide behind her elder brother.

Banggeng also shifted his body to block her behind him.

No matter what, she's still my own sister.

Even if he was so angry his head was about to explode, he couldn't just stand by and watch people bully him!

"What are you doing? Give me back the money. It's been days. What are we going to do? You need to give me an explanation."

The creditor, with a fleshy face, a fat head, and a big beard, shouted and pushed forward, confronting Banggeng across the door with his neck stiff.

He, a debt collector, was intimidated by the debtor.

No matter where you are, paying back debts is a matter of course. Don't give me that nonsense.

Just two words——

Pay me back!

"I don't have any money, and I didn't take that money. Go find the person who took the money!" With her older brother backing her up, Huaihua jumped up again.

Upon hearing her say this, the creditors outside the door couldn't sit still any longer and swarmed forward.

"Stop right there, don't move! If you barge in, I'll call the police."

Banggeng took a step back and pointed at the crowd warningly, saying, "Collecting debts is no problem, my family is also trying to find a way, but you have to be lawful and compliant. Anyone who tries to bully me, you can forget about getting this money."

The moment money was mentioned, the agitated creditors immediately calmed down.

No matter how you look at it, nothing is more important than money.

As long as I can get the money, I'll make him kneel down and call me grandpa, or act like a grandson.

"I heard about it from my sister; the money all came from Fan."

Banggeng forgot the name again for a moment, but luckily Huaihua cleverly added: "Fan Hongying".

“Yes, it was borrowed by Fan Hongying. If you want the money back, you should go to him first. But you can’t find him. Shouldn’t you call the police and file a lawsuit? What’s the point of arresting my sister, a young girl?”

"Hey~"

The fat-headed man with a big beard rolled up his sleeves, laughing and cursing angrily: "You're really something, aren't you? You think you can just say you have nothing to do with your family after a couple of words?"

"Still calling her a young girl? She's over thirty, what's so young about her?"

"I think it's quite small, its brain is quite small because of the foot binding cloth."

"Hahaha~"

Huaihua's face turned pale with anger, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Banggeng didn't say anything, he just stood in front of the door and glared at the fat head. He could tell at this moment that this person was the leader.

Seeing that he wasn't scared, the fat-headed man continued, "Let me tell you, your sister is the legal representative of the company. This contract is stamped with the company's seal, so she is the person responsible once it's effective."

Don't tell me who borrowed it. She has to bear the debt, whether she wants to or not, and pay it back.

"Yes, pay me back."

"Pay back the money."

Faced with this situation, Banggeng had no choice but to put on a stern face and say in a deep voice, "You can't have the money now, but we definitely have to solve this problem."

"You all go back first. I'll find out what really happened. If it needs to be taken to court, then we'll go to court; if it needs to go through the proper procedures, then we'll go through the proper procedures."

"Don't yell at me, it won't do any good. At worst, we'll go to the police station every day and make a scene, and see if you can get the money in the end."

Grabbing Huaihua from behind, Banggeng said defiantly, "She didn't spend a single penny on this house, and none of the things in the house belong to her. If you really think that arresting her can pay off the debt, then arrest her now."

This time, the creditors were left speechless by his retort.

She's just a young woman, she's worth nothing.

Even if you delivered her to Dongguan, you couldn't earn that much money even if you sold her stuff until you died.

Chapter 870: 788 Days of Sign-in Login, The Man Closest to God

This intimidated the seasoned veterans outside, who then ordered their men to retreat.

Bang Geng felt no relief whatsoever.

Because he knew that this was all temporary.

Next time these people come, they won't just yell at him.

"Brother, how could you do this?"

Huaihua, who was being held by him, finally realized that her brother was going to hand her over to those people.

What kind of older brother is he? Doesn't he even consider himself his sister anymore?

Banggeng let go of her hand, glanced at her coldly, and said, "Mom is inside. If you have any conscience, go in and see her."

Before Huaihua could reply, Banggeng locked the door and went inside.

The locust tree standing in the courtyard had a complex expression, its heart filled with mixed feelings, and it was unclear what it was thinking.

Huhu~

A cold wind blew, and her down jacket, which was no longer warm, made her shiver.

She shuddered and quickly walked into the house, calling out, "Mom, I was wrong, are you alright?"

After washing up, Yang Jianguo came to the pavilion in the courtyard.

Using the fire in the stove, I lit the clay stove, put a pot of water in it, and took out the Pu'er tea cakes that I had given to the young master two years ago.

Break off a piece with an awl and throw it into the teapot to simmer.

Next, add a few shredded ginger, saffron, black goji berries, and cassia seeds, and finally add a slice of ginseng.

Turn the air vent down to a lower setting and let it simmer slowly.

Yang Jianguo picked up a book and leaned back leisurely, reading in the courtyard without any fear of the winter wind.

Taking advantage of the empty space, Yang Jianguo also summoned the system.

'Check-in.'

[788 days total, check-in successful]

【get……】

"Huh?" Upon seeing the system start loading, Yang Jianguo sat up straight.

This was the first time the system hadn't given out a reward directly; it seemed to be experiencing a lag.

Yang Jianguo was a little worried, but he seemed to subconsciously accept the possibility that the system might malfunction.

However, the expected 'problem' did not occur.

A few seconds later, new text appeared on the screen: [Obtain Tesla's Secret Research Manuscripts (2/8)]

Tesla, studying manuscripts?

Yang Jianguo thought for a long time before realizing who the system was referring to as Tesla.

Nikola Tesla, the man closest to God.

There are countless legends about his achievements. Some say he is a genius among geniuses, a superman far ahead of his time, and a holy son sent by God to enlighten mankind's science and technology.

Some say he is an over-mythologized scientist who has made certain achievements in the field of alternating current, and that other rumors about him are just hearsay and stories fabricated by his fanatical admirers.

Some say he was an alien child who landed on Earth, possessing talents and abilities far exceeding those of humans, but ultimately suffered persecution at the hands of capital.

In short, even the most bizarre events in modern history seem to become much more reasonable once they are associated with him.

Yang Jianguo had always been skeptical of his personal achievements.

How could one person be so powerful as to span more than a dozen fields and achieve far more than the geniuses of their time?

This is as absurd as saying 'breathing air will cause a slow death'.

But now, Yang Jianguo suddenly felt that he might be influenced by prejudice in some matters.

Those rumors—

Clang!

There was a knock on the door, a slightly loud but unhurried sound, like an old friend coming over.

"Who is it? The door is open, just come in."

Yang Jianguo strode outside, assuming it was someone else coming to wish him a Happy New Year.

But when he got to the front yard, he found a hunchbacked old man standing outside the door. When he saw him come out, a frightening smile appeared on his muddy face: "Happy New Year, I wish you all the best."

"Happy New Year." Yang Jianguo was curious about what the other person had come for.

However, it was freezing outside, and he looked like he wasn't having a good time, so Yang Jianguo immediately invited him in, "If you have nowhere to go, have a drink of water and a simple meal here, take a shower and change your clothes before you leave."

"You're a good person, thank you in advance." The old man bowed deeply, then looked up and said, "However, there are rules in our line of work, we can't do it like this."

This line of work, the Beggars' Sect?!

The other party didn't explain, and Yang Jianguo didn't ask. He just saw the other party reach into his pocket and pull out a square cloth bag.

The bag was covered in a thick layer of grease, like armor.

The old man, however, was used to it. He untied the cloth bundle, revealing the oiled paper inside. Then he peeled off the oiled paper, revealing a stack of letters folded into squares.
