Chapter 235: The Stick is Hooked
After leaving his ex-girlfriend's house, Banggeng returned home in a bad mood.
"Banggeng, aren't you going out to play with your boyfriend?" Jia Zhang was doing housework at home. When she saw Banggeng walking in from outside in a depressed mood, she put down her work in surprise and walked up to him and asked.
"I won't go out. I don't need to go out for a while." Banggeng said casually as he lay down on the bed and looked at the roof of his house.
"Ouch! What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?" Jia Zhang felt distressed when she saw Banggeng's look.
"Nothing." Bang Geng didn't want to say anything more. It was so embarrassing to be dumped that he couldn't even open his mouth.
"What's wrong? Are you two having a quarrel?" Jia Zhang could see that Banggeng was in a bad mood, so she sat down beside his bed and asked cautiously.
"We broke up." Bang Geng was still thinking about what his ex-girlfriend said.
"Why divide it like this?" Jia Zhang muttered quietly.
"Can you please stop asking?" Bang Geng was already a little angry, and Jia Zhang was still whispering in his ear, which made him very annoyed.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. But you can't just lie there like this." Jia Zhang was a little worried about her grandson's condition.
"Okay, grandma, can you let me be quiet for a while?" Banggeng picked up the pillow and covered his head with it, saying in a muffled voice.
"Then you stay alone for a while." Jia Zhang didn't have any good ideas. She also knew that she was disliked, so she simply kept silent.
Jia Zhang went out, took a look at Bang Geng lying on the bed, carefully closed the door, and then walked quickly towards the backyard.
"Shazhu, Qin Huairu." Jia Zhang came to the room of the deaf old lady in the backyard. Shazhu and Qin Huairu were living there now. Before she even entered the room, Li in the yard started calling Shazhu and Qin Huairu.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Qin Huairu was startled when she heard Jia Zhang's anxious voice, thinking that something big had happened.
"What's wrong? Go and see your son. He's been lying in bed in a depressed mood since he came back." Jia Zhang scolded Qin Huairu anxiously.
"Banggeng is back? Didn't he go to see his boyfriend?" Qin Huairu was also a little surprised. Today, Banggeng specifically asked her for money and said that he was going to visit his boyfriend.
"I heard from Bang Geng that they broke up." Jia Zhang explained, and then pushed Qin Huairu anxiously, "You should go and take a look first."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu hurried to Banggeng's room. She pushed the door open and saw Banggeng lying on the bed, wondering what he was thinking about.
"Banggeng, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu was a little anxious, because this Banggeng was her life.
"Mom, I'm fine, I just want some quiet time." Banggeng couldn't stand the quarrels between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. He didn't have any big deal, he just felt that his life was a bit boring as he had to learn how to cook every day and got such a low salary.
Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng carefully, and only felt relieved when she saw that Bang Geng was still full of energy.
"Mom, I plan to resign from the steel mill." Bang Geng said to Qin Huairu in a firm tone.
"I don't allow it." Qin Huairu rejected Bang Geng without even thinking about it.
"Anyway, I don't plan to go to the factory." Bang Geng glanced at Qin Huairu with a firm tone.
"If you don't want to go to the steel mill, what do you want to do?" Qin Huairu asked with a stern face.
"Anyway, I won't go to work at the steel mill." Bang Geng's face twitched when he thought of the work he did every day. He was tired of washing and cutting vegetables in the cafeteria every day. "Where are you going if you don't work at the steel mill?" Qin Huairu looked at Bang Geng in distress. Qin Huairu had no idea what to do with her son.
"Don't worry about it." Banggeng was choked and then said stubbornly.
After saying this, Banggeng felt that it would not be good for him not to work, but he did not intend to be a self-employed business owner. At this time, Banggeng remembered what Zhan Shixiang said: if he wanted to make money, he should go to him.
Banggeng suddenly sat up from the bed, and without even bothering to tidy himself up, he got out of bed, quickly put on his shoes, and ran out.
"Where are you going?" Qin Huairu was frightened by Banggeng's actions. Seeing Banggeng running out without even tidying up, she was very surprised and wondered what he was going to do.
"Don't worry about it. I have something to do with someone and I won't be back at noon." Bang Geng shouted without turning his head.
"Hey, this kid, it's almost time for lunch and he's still running outside." Jia Zhang complained to Bang Geng in a low voice.
Qin Huairu started to tidy up the bed that was messed up by the stick without saying a word.
Banggeng walked out of the door and went straight towards Zhan Shixiang's house.
"Knock, knock, knock." Bang Geng knocked heavily on Zhan Shixiang's door.
"Banggeng? You're here." When Zhan Shixiang saw Banggeng, he was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Zhan Shixiang, you said that if I wanted to make money I would come to you. Now I'm here, can you tell me what the solution is?" Banggeng's tone was a little aggressive. He had really suffered too much anger today.
"That's right, I came to you because we have a good relationship." Zhan Shixiang walked up to Bang Geng, put his arm around his shoulder and said firmly.
The two of them walked into Zhan Shixiang's house. From the outside, it looked as if they had walked into a dark cave, and the darkness swallowed up their figures.
Bang Geng also didn't see those people in Zhan Shixiang's compound pointing at him with a look of regret.
After entering Zhan Shixiang's house, Banggeng looked around. The room didn't look too big, but there were quite a few good things inside.
"Banggeng, have you eaten? If not, come and eat with us." Zhan Shixiang closed the door of his house and pointed at his dining table to invite Banggeng.
Looking at the dishes, wine, meat and a roast duck on the table, Banggeng couldn't help swallowing.
Zhan Shixiang heard the sound of Banggeng swallowing his saliva, but he did not laugh at him out loud. Instead, he put his arm around Banggeng's shoulders and pulled him to the table.
"Come, come, come, let's eat together." Zhan Shixiang warmly entertained Banggeng.
"Zhan Shixiang, what method of making money do you mean?" Bang Geng swallowed and suppressed the urge to sit at the table to eat, then raised his head and stared at Zhan Shixiang and asked.
"It's simple, let's talk while we eat." Zhan Shixiang greeted Banggeng enthusiastically, but when he saw that Banggeng didn't respond, Zhan Shixiang was speechless for a moment and then told him what he needed Banggeng to do.
It turned out that these ruffians who had returned from the countryside were planning to do something big, and they happened to be short of manpower, so they wanted to let their younger brothers go out and recruit people.
Banggeng thought about it and asked what exactly needed to be done.
Zhan Shixiang also answered that in the early stage, all he needed to do was to be a head-turner and give himself courage when others were fighting, and then he would help the troublemakers deal with some things.
