Chapter 858 4 Courtyard Wants Peace
Banggeng finished his words angrily, turned around, and rushed into the house like a gust of wind. The sound of the door slamming shut seemed to hit Qin Huairu's heart hard. Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng's departing back, her heart filled with worry and helplessness, her brows tightly furrowed into the shape of a "川" character. She really couldn't tell if this child had been taught badly during his growth. Banggeng's recent behavior and attitude really worried her as a mother. His rebelliousness and willfulness made Qin Huairu feel unfamiliar and helpless.
Qin Huairu had already raised her foot, ready to chase after him and have a proper talk with him. After all, allowing him to continue like this would be extremely detrimental to his future. Banggeng's personality and behavior were clearly deviating. If not corrected in time, he might go astray in the future. However, before she could take another step, Jia Zhang's outstretched arm stopped her.
Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu, waved her hand, and said disapprovingly: "Okay, Qin Huairu, stop chasing him. Banggeng is about to go to the countryside, and he is very angry. Just let him calm down." There was a sense of matter-of-factness in Jia Zhang's tone, as if she thought it was normal for Banggeng to have such an emotional reaction.
Qin Huairu opened her mouth to retort, but found herself speechless. She felt aggrieved and helpless, and could only sulk in silence. She felt that as a mother, she was already somewhat overwhelmed by Banggeng's upbringing, and Jia Zhang's attitude made her feel even more isolated and helpless.
Elsewhere, Gu Nan returned home. As soon as he entered the house, Ran Qiuye came to greet him like a cheerful little bird. With curiosity in her eyes, she looked at Gu Nan and asked, "Gu Nan, what did Qin Huairu want to see you about? She looked so anxious. Is there something important?"
Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye's curious expression and couldn't help but smile, deliberately keeping her in suspense: "Ran Qiuye, you are so smart, guess what it is?" He tilted his head slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, wanting to see if Ran Qiuye could guess why Qin Huairu was looking for him.
Ran Qiuye smiled lightly and said confidently: "Is it still about Banggeng? After all, you are now the deputy factory director and have power in your hands. Qin Huairu must have come to ask you for help because of Banggeng's going to the countryside." As Ran Qiuye spoke, he observed Gu Nan's expression, trying to verify his guess from his reaction.
After listening to Ran Qiuye's words, Gu Nan smiled and nodded: "You are absolutely right. Qin Huairu came to me about Banggeng's matter. However, I don't care about these things. Everyone has seen what Banggeng did before. He can't rely on others to help solve everything. He must be responsible for his own actions." Gu Nan's tone was firm, without any hesitation. Obviously, he had his own principles and judgment on Banggeng's affairs.
After saying that, Gu Nan seemed to suddenly remember something, looked at Ran Qiuye and asked, "Do you know what Jia Zhang was doing in the backyard? I always felt that her behavior in the backyard was a bit strange."
After hearing this, Ran Qiuye shook her head slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes: "I really don't know about this. Could it be that she wants to talk to Liu Haizhong about the Banggeng incident? After all, Liu Haizhong has a certain status in the Siheyuan, and Jia Zhang might want him to come forward to help." Ran Qiuye guessed, and was also curious about Jia Zhang's behavior.
Gu Nan shook his head slightly, a look of resignation on his face, and slowly said, "This matter has nothing to do with Banggeng. It's about the deaf old lady's house. Jia Zhangshi somehow fell in love with it and wanted to take it over. As a result, Liu Haizhong also set his eyes on the house. That's the situation."
After hearing this, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but frown, his eyes full of disgust, and said, "Jia Zhang is really shameless. What does the house in the backyard have to do with her? How can she be so greedy!"
Gu Nan looked at Ran Qiuye and asked with a half-smile, "Tell me, given the current situation, who will own this house in the end?"
Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and said with a smile, "After all, the house is in the backyard, and Liu Haizhong has always been very concerned about the backyard. Now he is the eldest uncle in the yard, so it is natural that the house is more likely to be his."
Gu Nan shook his head again and said nothing.
Ran Qiuye was puzzled when she saw this, and asked, "Gu Nan, are you saying that Jia Zhang is shameless, so the house will end up in her hands, right?"
Gu Nan still shook his head, with a hint of mystery in his eyes.
Ran Qiuye was really confused now and asked anxiously, "Whose it could it be? Don't keep me in suspense."
Gu Nan then smiled and explained, "It's no one's. Think about it, if Yan Bugui from the front yard knew about this tomorrow, what do you think he would do? He has a very poisonous mouth, he will definitely not give up easily."
Ran Qiuye instantly understood what Gu Nan meant. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Gu Nan and said, "You mean you should let Yan Bugui in the front yard know about this too? Then this courtyard will be bustling with activity. But why didn't anyone get the house in the end? Yan Bugui may have a sharp tongue, but when it comes to fighting for the house, he doesn't seem to have any particularly powerful tactics."
Gu Nan smiled and said patiently, "You're right. Yan Bugui doesn't have any strong tactics. But as long as the Siheyuan gets a lot of attention because of this house, and it attracts the attention of the higher-ups, the house is now state-owned. Once the government knows about this, no one will be able to take it."
Ran Qiuye was no fool. She immediately understood Gu Nan's intention. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Gu Nan, you've got a really clever trick! Then we can just sit back and watch the fight."
Gu Nan just smiled and nodded, then fell into deep thought and said nothing more.
At this moment, Gu Nan was thinking about when to find a suitable opportunity to thoroughly investigate what Lu Jia was up to. During this period, he had investigated many people, but found that none of them had any connection with Lu Jia. Even Director Tong Ren said that this matter had nothing to do with Lu Jia, but Gu Nan just didn't believe it. In his opinion, He Yuzhu was just a simpleton with no brains. It was impossible for him to have such great ability to do something like that, so he thought Lu Jia was the most suspicious. It was just that he had never found a suitable opportunity to investigate in depth, but Gu Nan was not in a hurry. He firmly believed that sooner or later he would get to the bottom of this matter.
On the other side, Liu Haizhong was probably the only one in the entire courtyard who was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He thought to himself that Yi Zhonghai was now a useless waste. Even if he didn't give Yi Zhonghai face in person, he could only go back obediently and there was nothing he could do to him.
