Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 544 Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, Mother and Son Reunited

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, come out quickly, come out quickly, Banggeng is back!"

Yan Fugui shouted at the top of his lungs before he even reached the Jia family's house.

Qin Huairu, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard Yan Fugui's words and dropped the bowl in her hand on the ground with a "crack." She didn't even glance at the broken bowl on the ground and rushed out of the kitchen like a madwoman.

Yan Fugui's shouts woke up Jia Zhangshi, who was sleeping. She didn't quite catch what he said, but she instantly flew into a rage, lying on the bed and cursing loudly:

"Old Man Yan, you deadbeat, what are you doing? You woke me up from my peaceful sleep. If you don't pay me back today, I'm not done with you."

No sooner had Jia Zhangshi finished speaking than Qin Huairu rushed out of the kitchen and ran outside. Jia Zhangshi frowned and asked, "Qin Huairu, what are you rushing off to?"

Without turning her head, Qin Huairu quickly opened the door and excitedly exclaimed, "Bang Geng is back! Mom, I heard Uncle San say Bang Geng is back!"

"What? Bang Geng can come back? Could it be that Old Man Yan is just kidding us?"

The moment Qin Huairu opened the door, she saw a group of people had arrived at her doorstep, with two police officers standing in front of her and Yan Fugui standing beside them.

Just as she was about to go up and ask Yan Fugui where the stick was, she suddenly saw the stick behind the policeman, and she immediately trembled with excitement.

"A great joke!"

Qin Huairu exclaimed in surprise and ran towards Banggeng like a madwoman. She ran to Banggeng in a few steps, squatted down in front of him, and hugged him tightly in her arms.

"Waaaaah, waaaaah, Bang Geng, you're finally back! Do you know how worried Mom was while you were missing?!"

Qin Huairu's tears flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable. All she wanted to do was hold Banggeng tightly and never let him leave her side again.

"Waaah, Mom, I miss you!"

Banggeng burst into tears. Who knew how much suffering he had endured, how much pain he had suffered, and how many beatings he had been beaten over the past month? After going through countless hardships to return home and see his mother, he could no longer hold back his tears.

"Bang Geng, Bang Geng, it's all Mom's fault. Mom didn't take good care of you. Mom will take good care of you from now on and will never let you leave Mom's side again, sob sob sob."

Qin Huairu cried with tears streaming down her face, but these were tears of joy, tears of happiness, and tears of gratitude.

She thanked heaven, earth, and God in her heart for returning the stick to her.

Without Bang Geng by her side during this time, she felt like a walking corpse, as if life had no meaning. If it weren't for Xiao Dang accompanying her, she really wouldn't have the courage to continue living.

When the two police officers saw the mother and child reunited, they did not immediately go up to disturb them. Their responsibility was simply to return the child to his parents. However, there were still some questions they needed to ask the child's mother to see if they could find any clues to catch this group of child traffickers.

However, this matter cannot be rushed; it is not too late to ask after the mother and son have finished their conversation.

Just as Qin Huairu and Banggeng were crying their eyes out, Jia Zhangshi ran out of the room. When she saw that it really was Banggeng who had returned, she rushed over, hugged him tightly, and cried out excitedly:

"Bang Geng, my dear grandson, you're finally back! Do you know how worried Grandma was these past few days!"

At this moment, Madam Jia was also in tears. She was truly heartbroken for Bang Geng. The Jia family's continuation depended on Bang Geng. If something happened to Bang Geng, how could she explain it to Old Jia and Dong Xu?

In Jia Zhangshi's heart, his status ranked first, money second, and sticks third.

"Grandma, waaaah, I missed you so much!"

Jia Zhangshi vigorously rubbed the curly hair on the stick and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Old Jia, Dongxu! You've finally opened your eyes this time! You've finally brought the stick back to me!"

The people in the courtyard were quite shocked by what they saw. How could the police have managed to rescue Banggeng from the beggars? It really was Old Jia's blessing.

Although Qin Jingru was surprised, she wasn't too shocked. She remembered that Brother Wang Feng had told her before that Bang Geng's life was tougher than iron and that he would definitely come back. She didn't expect that Brother Wang Feng would actually be right.

Seeing Qin Huairu crying her eyes out, Qin Jingru sighed inwardly. Bang Geng was back, and Qin Huairu had come back to life.

During this time, she clearly felt that ever since Banggeng was kidnapped by Paihuazi, Qin Huairu's heart had died. She was lifeless all day long, like a walking corpse.

The people in the courtyard were somewhat relieved and comforted that Banggeng was able to return. After all, they had been neighbors in the same courtyard for decades. No matter how bad Banggeng was, they had watched him grow up.

The only person at the scene who didn't want Bang Geng to come back was Yi Zhonghai. He stood in the crowd, watching Qin Huairu and Bang Geng hug each other and cry their hearts out. He was filled with rage.

Since Bang Geng, that little bastard, isn't his son, and Qin Huairu has been deceiving him for so many years, he'll never let them get away with it. He was even gloating over Bang Geng's bad luck before, because before he could even make a move, Bang Geng was kidnapped by a kidnapper.

He thought he would never see Bang Geng again and that he could focus on dealing with Qin Huairu. But he never expected that Bang Geng would be rescued from the hands of the flower seller by the police.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Qin Huairu and Bang Geng with bloodshot eyes. His fists were clenched, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with coldness and resentment.

In the end, he had to accept reality, and after a long sigh, he suppressed his emotions that were about to erupt.

Since those flower-picking tricks weren't working, he was determined to give the Bang Geng a tough time in the future and make sure they never had another chance to get together.

Once the police had seen enough, they stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, are you Qin Huairu, Jia Geng's mother?"

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, stood up, nodded repeatedly, and said excitedly:

"I am Qin Huairu, police officers. Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would never have seen my beloved Bang Geng again in my life, sob sob sob."

The police officer shook his head and said, "Comrade Qin Huairu, Jia Geng wasn't rescued by our police; he escaped on his own."

"What?"

Upon hearing the police officer's words, everyone stared wide-eyed, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Qin Huairu asked incredulously, "Officer...Officer, you...you're saying Banggeng escaped on his own? And Banggeng is so young? How is that possible?"

The police officer nodded with utmost seriousness: "Comrade Qin Huairu, it's true, Jia Geng took advantage of..."

Then, the police recounted in detail how Bang Geng escaped while Pai Hua Zi was asleep, but he said that Bang Geng had lied to them about it.
