Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 277 Xu Damao of Hong Kong

"Oh, I'm so nervous. I think I should go out and have something good to eat." Jia Zhang thought.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang walked to the bed, bent down to pull out the brick, then reached out to touch it, but found nothing.

"Ok?"

Doubts crept into Jia Zhang's mind.

So she reached her hand in again, and soon her hand touched the bottom.

In an instant, Jia Zhang's heart began to panic, and she quickly climbed down to take a look.

But there was nothing inside, not even her torn socks.

"My money, where is my money?" Jia Zhang shouted.

Suddenly, Jia Zhang realized, "Oh no, Bang Geng, that little bastard Bang Geng took it away from me."

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang's ghost was shocked. She quickly got up and ran to the street office. She wanted to catch up with Banggeng and take back her life.

Soon, Jia Zhang arrived at the door of the street office like a whirlwind and met Qin Huairu.

"Mom, are you here to deliver the stick?" Qin Huairu said, "I asked you to come this morning but you didn't come. Now that everyone has left, why are you here again?"

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhang asked anxiously, "Where is Banggeng? Where is he? Where did he go?"

"Of course I went to the train station. I guess you have already boarded the train by now. If I wanted to send you off, you shouldn't have come earlier." Qin Huairu said.

"Oh! Oh my God, I'm going to die," Jia Zhang shouted.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu asked.

"That little bastard Banggeng stole hundreds of dollars from me! My money!" Jia Zhang shouted, "Qin Huairu, I don't care, you have to chase him and get my money back no matter what."

"What?" Qin Huairu shouted, "Bang Geng took your money?"

"What do you mean by taking? That's stealing. He stole my money. Go after him, quickly, Qin Huairu, go after him for me. If you can't get the money back, I will never forgive you. Banggeng is your son." Jia Zhang shouted.

Qin Huairu was very happy after getting the accurate news. Now she didn't have to worry about Banggeng starving to death. There were several hundred of them, and if he was healthy, he could last for several years.

But she still pretended to be anxious and said, "Mom, the train has already left. How can we catch up? Can you catch up with the train?"

"Oh, what should I do? What should I do? That's my life, the life of my Jia family." Jia Zhang cried.

"Mom, are you sure it was Banggeng who took the money? Didn't you just put it there and forget about it?" Qin Huairu asked.

"Oh my, even if I forget to eat, I will never forget where I hid the money. It must be Bang Geng. He was resentful that I didn't give him money yesterday, so he took it from me. What do you think I should do? What should I do?" Jia Zhang shouted.

"Not necessarily! Mom, let's go back first and wait for a while. Once we are sure Banggeng has settled down in that place, we will write to him and ask if it is from him. If so, ask him to send it back. Do you think this is okay?" Qin Huairu suggested.

In fact, she knew in her heart that it was impossible to ask for the banggeng to be sent back. Even if she was in person, she would not take out the banggeng. She was just trying to fool Jia Zhang.

"No, I must get my money today, you go after him for me." Jia Zhang shouted.

"Mom, the train has already left. How do you want me to chase it? By retreating?" Qin Huairu teased unhappily, "How about I buy you a ticket and you chase it. I heard Banggeng went to the northernmost part. You might be able to find it if you go there. Is that ok?"

"I won't go. I'm an old lady with weak limbs and I can't read a single word. If I go out, how can I come back?" Jia Zhang shouted.

"Forget it if you don't go. You can't find me for this matter anyway. Maybe it wasn't Bang Geng who took it! That's it, let's go home." Qin Huairu decided.

After saying that, Qin Huairu turned her butt and walked directly towards the courtyard.

Jia Zhang followed behind with a wronged look on her face, cursing Bang Geng for being a beast and saying that if his money wasn't returned, he would never return to the Jia family in his life.

In this way, time quickly came to the beginning of 1978. At this time, it had been more than ten years since Xu Damao came to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, at the headquarters of the Xu Group, Xu Damao was reading a newspaper brought back from the mainland. The more he read, the more excited he became, because the time stated in the newspaper was basically the same as the time given by Li Kangri back then.

"Hahaha, after more than ten years, I can finally go back and return to my hometown in glory." Xu Damao laughed.

Just as Xu Damao was laughing, Lou Xiao'e pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Xu Damao laughing, Lou Xiao'e asked, "Damo, why are you laughing so happily?"

"Hahaha, Ezi, we can finally go back. I can go back to see Master. I have been waiting for this day for a long time," Xu Damao said with a smile, "Ezi, come and take a look at the report here."

As he spoke, Xu Damao handed the newspaper to Lou Xiaoe.

After taking the newspaper, Lou Xiao'e read it carefully. After a long time, Lou Xiao'e said, "Da Mao, do you want to go back? Is it really safe now?"

"Haha, I don't know, but I believe it is safe. Master has never made a mistake in calculations. If he says it is safe, then it is safe." Xu Damao said.

Seeing the excited Xu Damao, Lou Xiaoe was conflicted. To be honest, she didn't really want to go back. She had completely adapted to life here. She felt that it was freer here, so she said in a conflicted tone, "Da Mao, do you really want to go back?"

"Haha, Ezi, what do you mean, you don't want to go back?" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Yes, I like it here very much, and the educational environment here is good. Children can receive a better education here, so..." Lou Xiao'e hesitated.

"Hey, let's talk about this later. You just stay here. I'll go back and take a look first. My parents really want to go back." Xu Damao said.

"Oh, my parents are the same. They have been talking about it for a long time." Lou Xiao'e said.

"Haha, this is called returning to one's roots." Xu Damao said, "I'll go back and talk about it later."

Just as the couple was talking, there was a knock on the door, "Bang, bang, bang!"

"Come in!"

Soon, a stylishly dressed secretary walked in and said, "Boss, Boss Li sent someone to ask you to come over and help him check his Feng Shui. He said he's already waiting for you at home."

"Tell him I don't have time recently. I need to go back to the mainland. We can talk later if there is anything." Xu Damao said.

"Okay, boss. Then you won't attend the Feng Shui Association's annual gathering this Sunday?" asked the secretary.

"No, no, all recent activities are cancelled until I come back. Also, go and find out about the relevant matters regarding going to the mainland. I want to go back to the mainland." Xu Damao ordered.

"Okay, boss, I'll go right away," said the secretary.
