Chapter 160 The Jia Family Stinks
The young people in the courtyard were also talking about it. Xiao Zhang, who had just started working, said, "This is too outrageous. Stealing things at school is a disgrace to our courtyard." Another young man, Xiao Li, continued, "That's right. The Jia family seems to be a mess."
The children were also whispering. One child said, "Bang Geng steals things. We won't play with him anymore." Another child nodded quickly, "Yes, we can't play with bad kids."
There were constant discussions in the courtyard, with everyone accusing the Jia family of raising such a bad child. Qin Huairu, listening to the discussions in the courtyard, was filled with shame and helplessness. She knew Banggeng had done something wrong, but she didn't know how to face everyone's accusations. Jia Zhang was so angry that she jumped up and down, and yelled at the people in the courtyard: "You people only know how to talk nonsense. We Banggeng were just confused for a moment, so don't talk nonsense."
However, Jia Zhang's scolding did not stop everyone from talking about the family. Instead, it made everyone's impression of the Jia family even worse. The turmoil in the courtyard put Qin Huairu's family in an even more difficult situation.
In the courtyard, Chu Tian's family originally lived a peaceful life. After the house was renovated, Chu Tian lived separately from his mother Yang Suihua and his sister Chu Yuan. Chu Tian lived in the wing room, while Yang Suihua and her sister lived in the main room.
That day, Chu Tian was taking a lunch break when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He got up to open the door, and when he saw that it was Qin Huairu, he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, thinking that something bad must have happened.
After Qin Huairu entered the room, she started crying without saying a word. Chu Tian was speechless when he saw her like this. He frowned and asked impatiently, "Sister Qin, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't cry."
Qin Huairu sobbed and said intermittently: "Chu Tian, you have to help me. Banggeng got into trouble at school, and the teacher asked to call his parents. I really have no choice. Can you come with me to the school and help me put in a good word for him?"
Chu Tian was overwhelmed when he heard this. He didn't want to get involved in the Jia family's affairs, but seeing Qin Huairu crying pitifully, he couldn't bear to refuse. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Qin, I really can't help you with this matter. I'm not Bang Geng's parent, so it's not appropriate for me to go."
Qin Huairu cried even harder when she heard this. "Chu Tian, please be kind. I don't have anyone I can rely on in this courtyard. Please help me this time."
Chu Tian sighed helplessly and said, "Sister Qin, it's not that I won't help you, it's just that I really can't. You still have to find a way to solve the Banggeng issue yourself. You can go and talk to the uncle and the others, maybe they can give you some advice."
Qin Huairu saw Chu Tian's firm attitude and knew it was useless to beg him. She wiped her tears, stood up and said, "Well, since you don't want to help me, I won't force you." After that, she turned and left Chu Tian's room.
Chu Tian looked at Qin Huairu's departing back and felt relieved. He didn't want to be entangled in the affairs of the Jia family and just wanted to live his own life. But he also knew that in this courtyard, troubles might come to him at any time.
After Qin Huairu left, Chu Tian sat by the bed, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that Qin Huairu's life was difficult, but he also had his own life to live, and he really didn't want to be involved in the Jia family's right and wrong.
Not long after, the news of Qin Huairu asking Chu Tian for help but being rejected spread in the courtyard. People were talking about it, some said Chu Tian was cold, and some said Qin Huairu shouldn't ask for help from anyone casually.
After hearing the news, the uncle frowned slightly. He felt that although Chu Tian's behavior was understandable, everyone in this courtyard should help each other. So he decided to talk to Chu Tian.
That day, an old man came to Chu Tian's side room. Chu Tian saw the old man and quickly stood up to offer his seat. After the old man sat down, he slowly said, "Chu Tian, I know that Qin Huairu asked you for help and you are a little embarrassed. But in this courtyard, we are all neighbors, so help if you can."
Chu Tian said helplessly: "Master, it's not that I don't want to help, but the Jia family has too many things to do. If I help this time, I don't know how many troubles I will encounter in the future."
The old man sighed and said, "I understand your concerns. But we live in the same yard, and we can't just watch others get into trouble and do nothing. You can help appropriately, but you don't have to get yourself into trouble too much."
Chu Tian was silent for a while, then said, "Uncle, I understand. I will try my best to help you in the future, but I will also know when to stop."
The old man nodded, stood up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he reminded him again: "Chu Tian, our courtyard needs everyone's joint efforts to be harmonious. I hope you can consider everyone more."
After seeing the old man off, Chu Tian fell into deep thought. He knew that what the old man said made sense, but he didn't want his life to be disturbed too much. He decided to help his neighbors within his ability in the future, but he would also stick to his principles.
As for Qin Huairu, since she couldn't find anyone to help, she had to bite the bullet and go to school to face the teacher on her own.
At school, Qin Huairu stood in the classroom, facing all the students and parents with a face full of shame. She bowed deeply and said in a trembling voice: "Dear parents and classmates, I am Qin Huairu, the mother of Banggeng. Banggeng made a mistake at school, and I apologize to everyone here. I promise that I will educate Banggeng well in the future, let him correct his mistakes and become a good student." After she finished speaking, her eyes became red again.
After school, Bang Geng thought that Chu Tian's family lived a good life and must have meat to eat. So, at dinner time, he came to Chu Tian's house without hesitation.
Chu Tian opened the door and saw Bang Geng, his face suddenly darkened. He disliked this kid very much, because in his opinion, Bang Geng was an ungrateful person. Sha Zhu was so good to him, but he blamed him and didn't know who was good and who was bad.
"What are you doing here?" Chu Tian asked in a bad tone.
Bang Geng didn't feel embarrassed at all. He looked into the house eagerly and said, "I smelled meat in your house, so I wanted to see if there was anything to eat."
Chu Tian got even angrier after hearing this. "How can you be so ignorant? What does it have to do with you whether there is meat in my house? Go back quickly and stop making trouble here."
Bang Geng refused to leave. He stood at the door and said, "I'm not going back. I'm hungry. Just give me something to eat."
Chu Tian was helpless and was about to force Banggeng to leave when his mother Yang Suihua heard the noise and came over. "Chu Tian, what's wrong? Who is this child?"
