Chapter 532: You can do it, so can I, but I can’t be jealous
weekend.
"Lululu, I have to go to school. I'm not like you who plays here every day like a kid. Lululu, I have to go to school!"
Bang Geng made a face at Bai Chi, stuck out his tongue, and then skipped away.
"Woo~" Bai Chi's eyes turned red as he watched Bang Geng leave happily, feeling very uncomfortable.
“I want to study too!”
After saying that, he immediately ran home with his legs flapping.
"Brother, brother!"
I saw Bai Xiuwen concentrating on processing the parts on the table, which was filled with various tools.
We have to mention the table that is currently in use. This is a large Huanghuali table that Bai Xiuwen bought from a scrap yard.
It was just slightly damaged, but with his skillful repairs, it looked brand new again and became the largest piece of furniture in the house besides the bed.
"What's wrong?" Bai Xiuwen put down the work in his hands and looked at Bai Chi. Seeing that her eyes were red, his eyes suddenly froze.
"Who bullied you?"
"Bang Geng! Bang Geng bullied me. He will go to school in the future." Bai Chi grabbed the corner of Bai Xiuwen's clothes, stared at him with round eyes, and said pitifully:
"Brother, I want to go to school too, can I?"
"go to school?"
"Yeah!" Bai Chi nodded heavily and looked at him with wide eyes.
"Go to school?" Bai Xiuwen looked at Bai Chi and thought about it. Bai Chi was almost of the age, and was just over 6 years old.
You are old enough to study, so if you want to study, then go ahead.
"Okay, since you want to study, then we will study. But let me tell you first, studying is very tiring and difficult. Can you stick with it?"
"I can!" Bai Chi had no idea how hard studying was, but he knew that if he could study, he could be on par with Bang Geng.
"Okay, pack up and we'll go find Uncle Three later."
"Great!" Bai Chi danced and jumped happily: "I can study now! I can study now!"
Looking at his excited sister, Bai Xiuwen smiled slightly and tidied up the parts on the table.
If it were in the past, he might not have let his sister start studying so early, but since she demonstrated her ability a few days ago.
I helped the webmaster and the masters maintain some things and resold some things. In less than 7 days, I made more than ten dollars.
Earning half a month's salary in 7 days, who wouldn't say good things about this day?
After packing up, Bai Xiuwen took his sister to find Yan Bugui.
"Teacher Yan, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Looking at Yan Bugui who was wiping the bicycle, there were fishing rods and buckets beside him.
Yan Bugui looked back and saw Bai Xiuwen holding something in his hand, and his face instantly lit up with joy.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaobai? What's the matter?"
Bai Xiuwen handed the things over with both hands, and pointed at Bai Chi with a smile: "Teacher Yan, my sister is old enough and wants to go to school. I wonder what the rules are in our city?"
Yan Bugui looked at Bai Chi, with his chubby cheeks, and he was so cute.
"How old is your sister?"
"Just turned six."
"He's 6 years old, he's old enough to go to school." Yan Bugui nodded. Although he was a little young, it was okay for him to go to school.
"I'll take some time to go to school and help you with it. It's not a problem, and you don't have to go out of your way to do anything."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Chi, touched his head and said, "Just wait and study with peace of mind."
"Thank you, thank you Teacher Yan." Bai Xiuwen shook his hand gratefully.
"You're welcome!" Yan Bugui said with a smile. He accepted the gift and did the job. It just happened to be done together with the Banggeng matter. It was just a matter of convenience.
I didn't expect that I would make a fortune by receiving two gifts.
"Yeah! I can study now!" Bai Chi jumped up and down to celebrate.
Suddenly, Bai Xiuwen thought of something: "By the way, Teacher Yan, I need to trouble you for something."
"you say?"
"It's about this class division. Can you please not put my sister in the same class with Bang Geng? Is that okay?"
Bai Xiuwen had a pretty good idea of what kind of person Banggeng was, and Bai Chi was still just a little girl.
If Bai Chi was in the same class with him, he would probably be bullied by him.
Just in case, it is better to avoid them. It is better to stay away from such people.
"It's a small matter. When the shifts are arranged, we can separate them. If you are in the same class at school, just tell me and I can adjust your shifts."
"I'm sorry to bother Teacher Yan again."
"No, no, you're welcome."
After some shirking of responsibility, Bai Xiuwen finally said, "Okay, I'll be Teacher Yan. I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Bai Xiuwen took Bai Chili back home.
Yan Bugui packed up his things and prepared to go out fishing.
July is the height of summer and the fish in Shichahai have grown fat, making it a good time to sell them.
At this time, hearing Bai Xiuwen's voice, Yan Jiecheng came out for a walk and saw his back as he walked away.
"Hey, Dad, why did Bai Xiuwen look for you just now?"
Yan Jiecheng didn't even turn his head and carefully hid the things: "Just like Banggeng, I will enroll his sister in school."
"Enrollment? How old is his sister? She's going to school so early."
"He's 6 years old, not young anymore, he's only one year younger than Bang Geng. I didn't expect this kid to have changed so much in less than half a year, and he can even let his sister go to school."
"You know, there aren't many refugees who can send their brothers and sisters to school. They are all struggling to get enough food and clothing."
Speaking of this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but sigh, recalling that Bai Xiuwen would bring back some furniture every day when he returned home these days, he felt even more emotional.
"This kid is different now. He used to be timid and afraid of upsetting others, so he would walk with his head down. Now he dares to hold his head high."
"I've been bringing back furniture every day these days. I calculated that I've brought back at least four or five pieces of furniture, which cost at least 40 or 50 yuan, especially the pendulum clock, which is the most expensive."
Yan Bugui chattered on and on, describing Bai Xiuwen's situation in recent days in detail. Yan Jiecheng's face gradually darkened as he listened.
Finally, Yan Bugui glanced at Yan Jiecheng and said meaningfully: "This kid has finally made it. He has a skill and can bring furniture back every day."
"If you had worked at the scrap yard, you might have been more powerful than Bai Xiuwen. What a pity!"
"I heard that these furnitures were not worth much money, but after he took them home and repaired them, they are worth a lot of money!"
The more Yan Jiecheng listened, the more irritated he found it. He glanced at Yan Bugui, who had an ugly face. Wasn't this just an indirect criticism?
I refused at the beginning because I disliked the work at the scrap yard because it was dirty, messy, the pay was poor, the status was low, etc.
Now that Bai Xiuwen is living a good life, people start to blame him for having no vision and foresight.
Cui Yuan was a living example at the beginning. He could have been sent to the unloading department, but he was too tired to do it.
Later, he got a job at a scrap yard, but he quit because he found it dirty and messy.
Now it seems that Bai Xiuwen is living a good life, while his son has achieved nothing. He originally thought that he could advance from being a ticket seller to becoming a driver.
Unfortunately, he met the wrong person. This conductor cannot be a driver, so what use is he?
"Hmph!" Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do because all of this was his own choice.
"Damn it!" Looking at Yan Bugui who was still hinting at something, Yan Jiecheng turned around and went back to the house.
"Oh!" Yan Bugui shook his head, hid his things, and rode his bike to Shichahai to go fishing.
Yan Jiecheng lay in bed, the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. "Why did Bai Xiuwen change so suddenly? Why did he change so suddenly?"
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Yan Jiecheng went straight to find Li Kailang. Bai Xiuwen’s current situation was absolutely inseparable from Li Kailang’s help.
Yan Jiecheng immediately went to Li Kailang to ask about the situation. "What do you think happened to Bai Xiuwen recently?"
"Yes, why did this kid suddenly change this week? He's different now? Can you tell me what's going on?"
Looking at Yan Jiecheng who was eager to learn in front of him, Li Kailang looked in the direction of Bai Xiuwen's house, thought about it and did not hide it.
Bai Xiuwen's condition has improved, and everyone will know about it sooner or later. It is time to take advantage of the situation and put Bai Xiuwen in front of everyone.
Don't look down on him just because he is a refugee. He is very different now.
"Okay, I'll just tell you briefly, Bai Xiuwen is very different now than before, it's best not to look at him with the same eyes as before"
Immediately, he gave a brief explanation of Bai Xiuwen's situation during the past few days.
The more Yan Jiecheng listened, the angrier he became. "Why does he, a refugee, live a better life than me? I don't accept it!"
Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of Li Kailang.
He had two opportunities to rise to the top and become a phoenix, but he didn't seize them. Yan Jiecheng could not accept this psychological gap.
After Li Kailang finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng congratulated him insincerely: "Bai Xiuwen has finally made it. He will have a good life in the future."
"Yes." Li Kailang nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the people he sponsored achieve success, he felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Since he knew Bai Xiuwen's situation, Yan Jiecheng didn't chat much with Li Kailang and went out for a stroll.
"Why is this bastard living so well and I am the only one living a bad life? This job was clearly mine from the beginning."
"It's because I didn't see it coming that it's your turn, a scumbag who just came here to escape. Why?!"
The more Yan Jiecheng thought about it, the angrier he became. If he didn't vent his anger, he would go crazy sooner or later.
"This guy said he was collecting junk, but he might be a jerk and steal other people's things."
"Yes, that's right, that's right, those things in his house might have come from that place, as long as we call the police, I don't believe we can't catch this bastard!"
Yan Jiecheng accepted the truth and immediately called the police.
Yan Jiecheng was still a little smart. He did not report Bai Xiuwen by real name. Instead, he spent some money to find an unrelated child to call the police.
Under Yan Jiecheng's instruction, the child stole all the things in the house that Bai Xiuwen mentioned.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the police station has to send someone to deal with it.
"Hehe!" Seeing the two policemen hurried to the yard, Yan Jiecheng showed a cunning look and followed them to watch the fun.
Everyone was basking in the sun when they saw two policemen walking into the yard.
"Excuse me, is Bai Xiuwen in this yard?"
"Yes, yes, it's in the back room." Auntie pointed.
Looking for Bai Xiuwen?
Who called the police?
It was fun to watch.
Immediately, someone led the police to the back room to find Bai Xiuwen.
"Bai Xiuwen, open the door, the police are looking for you!"
After saying that, he slammed the door heavily and ran away immediately.
Bai Xiuwen was repairing his homework when he heard the police were looking for him. He frowned and said, "I haven't done anything wrong. Why are the police looking for me?"
"Maybe it's for his sister to go to school, so he came to ask. Teacher Yan is really dedicated. He got it done in such a short time."
Thinking of this, I put down my tools with joy: "Hey, here it comes!"
As soon as I opened the door, I saw two policemen standing there.
"Excuse me, are you Comrade Bai Xiuwen?"
"Yes, it's me." Bai Xiuwen nodded.
The police explained: "We have received a report that you have been stealing other people's things by bringing back furniture every day these days. You may be suspected of theft. Please come with us."
"Theft? Police comrade, you must have made a mistake. I didn't steal anything, so how could I have committed a crime?" Bai Xiuwen said in confusion.
While the two were talking, another policeman took a look at the house and found that there were indeed a lot of furniture in it, which matched what the child had described.
"It's not theft. Could you please prove where these furniture came from? You came to the city as a refugee, how come you have so many valuable pieces of furniture in less than half a year?"
Yan Jiecheng looked at Bai Xiuwen who was being questioned and felt secretly delighted. If there weren't so many people around, he would have definitely celebrated.
Bai Xiuwen looked back at the furniture. The origins of these furniture were all very bright and there was nothing shameful about them.
"Comrade police officer, the person who reported this is just jealous. He got jealous when he saw me buying new furniture. This report is purely out of jealousy. He is jealous that I am living a good life."
"Comrade police, you must catch him."
The police had already suspected that the furniture was stolen, no matter how Bai Xiuwen explained.
"Let's be honest. Could you please prove the origin of these furniture?"
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng could no longer sit still and immediately stood up to persuade him hypocritically: "Bai Xiuwen, since the police have come to your door, there must be evidence."
"Don't worry about it now. Hurry up and produce evidence to prove the innocence of these furnitures. This will also prove your innocence."
Hearing this, Bai Xiuwen thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. He didn't know how to explain himself. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng gave him a hint.
"Brother Yan, thank you!"
"Police comrade, please wait a moment. I will give you the certificate."
After saying that, he immediately went back to the house, took out the certificate issued by Uncle Lin, and handed it to the police.
"Comrade police officer, look, these pieces of furniture are all scraps I bought from the scrap yard, and they all have certificates."
The police looked down and saw that the certificate clearly stated the inventory record, including the weight, the price at which the items were put into storage, and the price at which they were sold to Bai Xiuwen.
The most important thing is that it has the stamp of the scrap yard and a series of purchase records on it, which ensures that the information is accurate when you check it.
Waste recycling and reuse is something that the country advocates. After all, not everyone has the money to buy or make new ones.
The two policemen took a look and found that the purchase certificate was completely legal and compliant and there were no problems.
After looking at each other, the serious expressions suddenly relaxed. "I see that your furniture is intact, which is different from what is written on the certificate. What's going on?"
"Comrade police officer, I know a little bit about maintenance. I can fix these broken furniture. They will look new after being repaired. But if you look closely, you can still tell they are broken."
"By the way, I know how to repair this. All the masters in the station know it. The masters in the station taught me this."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiuwen was completely cleared of suspicion, and the police returned the purchase certificate to Bai Xiuwen.
"Okay, thank you Comrade Bai Xiuwen for cooperating with us. Please keep these certificates carefully. They are very important."
"It seems that I am really jealous of you for reporting you, and I am framing you for no reason."
Hearing that he was cleared of suspicion, Bai Xiuwen felt relieved. He let out a long sigh and looked at the people who had come to join in the fun.
Seeing the slightly disappointed expressions on everyone's faces, obviously they didn't see that they were caught, he sneered in his heart.
This is really a good neighbor of mine. He is so harmful to me. Fortunately, Yan Jiecheng reminded me in time.
"Police comrades, you must arrest the person who reported me. This is a naked frame-up."
The policeman pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a bitter face, "Don't worry, we will find the informant."
You can get caught by doing this, it was a child who reported it.
"Alright, alright, everyone go back. Comrade Bai Xiuwen is innocent."
After a brief explanation, the police turned and left.
Bai Xiuwen looked at everyone and realized that he had been a little too high-profile recently, bringing back furniture from the station every day. It seemed that he couldn't do that anymore.
Fortunately, all the necessary furniture has been purchased, so there is no need to buy more for the time being.
"Damn it!" Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth in hatred. Instead of harming Bai Xiuwen, he helped him explain and even gave him advice.
Damn it, why did I keep talking so much?
Yan Jiecheng wanted to slap himself twice, but was afraid of hurting himself.
"You're lucky, don't let me get the chance, otherwise..."
