Chapter 102: Giving Advice to Madam Jia
Both the old woman and Jia Zhangshi had quite a few bruises on their bodies.
The old woman looked at Jia Zhangshi and was furious. When she remembered being called a barren hen, she felt that everyone around her was secretly laughing at her. She couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
Everyone was startled by what they saw and hurriedly surrounded them.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei quickly rushed over and shouted, "Pinch the philtrum! Quickly, pinch the philtrum!"
Terrified, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare linger and ran home as fast as she could.
Jia Zhangshi originally intended to use Jia Dongxu's return home as an excuse to cause a scene and extort some money, but who would have thought that she would make an old lady faint from anger.
With the help of a group of neighbors, the elderly woman slowly regained consciousness, and the group carried her home.
The second and third aunts also stayed by her side to help take care of her. It took a long time for the first aunt to recover.
The middle-aged woman, upon waking up and seeing the people surrounding her, burst into tears, repeatedly cursing Jia Zhangshi for being too bullying.
The second aunt quickly patted her back to comfort her: "Don't worry, Auntie, wait for Uncle to come back tonight, and he can help you get revenge."
Listening to the various words of comfort from the crowd, the middle-aged woman gradually calmed down.
Seeing that there was nothing more to see, Zhang Lei turned around and went home, thinking to himself: Whether this courtyard is chaotic or not really depends on the Jia family.
Just then, Zhang Lei had only taken a few steps when someone suddenly called out to him.
Hearing the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Jia Zhangshi who had called him.
Jia Zhangshi stood at her door, opened the door a crack, and peered into his direction, calling his name.
When Zhang Lei recognized Jia Zhangshi and saw her furtive appearance, he couldn't help but laugh.
However, he was curious why Jia Zhangshi had called him, so he walked over and asked, "Jia Zhangshi, what are you doing?"
Seeing Zhang Lei approach, Jia Zhangshi opened the door a little wider and lowered her voice to ask, "Zhang Lei, how is that old lady?"
Zhang Lei raised an eyebrow, looked at her, and asked, "Jia Zhangshi, why don't you go see for yourself?"
Madam Jia pouted and muttered, "I'm not going. What if she tries to extort money from me again?"
Looking at her like this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You, Jia Zhangshi, are actually afraid of being extorted?"
Madam Jia became impatient and urged, "Tell me quickly, what happened to that old lady?"
Seeing her anxious expression, Zhang Lei stopped teasing her and said directly, "Don't worry, she's already awake and it's nothing serious."
Upon hearing that the person was alright, Jia Zhangshi visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes darted around, and she leaned closer, asking, "Zhang Lei, you're so resourceful, tell me quickly, what should I do now?"
Seeing her worried expression, Zhang Lei already knew what was going on. He slowly asked, "Are you afraid Yi Zhonghai will come back to retaliate against you?"
Madam Jia nodded quickly, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Of course! Yi Zhonghai may seem amiable on the surface, but he holds grudges deep down!"
Zhang Lei pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, "Come closer."
Jia Zhangshi quickly leaned closer to listen to Zhang Lei's words. She first widened her eyes, then exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you sure you can do this? This is so awful!"
Zhang Lei looked at Jia Zhangshi and said seriously, "Jia Zhangshi, this method is a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Do you really want to wait for Yi Zhonghai to come back and take revenge on you directly?"
After thinking for a while, Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Alright! Anyway, I'm already this old, who would be interested in me? As long as that old bastard Yi Zhonghai doesn't retaliate against me, what does a little face matter!"
After Zhang Lei finished giving Jia Zhangshi advice, he turned around and saw Qin Huairu staring at him with wide eyes and a look of surprise on her face.
He raised an eyebrow and gave Qin Huairu a suggestive look.
Qin Huairu looked as if she had been burned, and hurriedly lowered her head, scrubbing the washboard even faster, wishing she could bury her head in the basin.
It was afternoon.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Zhang Lei and Ye Shuqin took small stools and waited early at the Central Courtyard.
Seeing Zhang Lei's enthusiastic expression, Ye Shuqin couldn't help but ask, "Honey, when does this excitement you've been talking about start?"
Zhang Lei leaned closer to her and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, everyone at the factory has gone home now. Yi Zhonghai should be back soon. Let's wait a little longer."
Sure enough, the two didn't have to wait long before they saw Yi Zhonghai striding back to his home.
Before two minutes had passed, Yi Zhonghai's furious roar came from inside the house, and the angry noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone else in the courtyard.
After all, it was rush hour, and the neighbors were heading home one after another. Hearing the commotion, they all stopped in their tracks.
Immediately afterward, Yi Zhonghai strode to the Jia family's door, pounded on the door, and shouted, "Jia Zhangshi, come out here!"
The door to the Jia family's house creaked open.
However, the person who came out was not Jia Zhangshi, but Qin Huairu.
Upon seeing Qin Huairu open the door, Yi Zhonghai was taken aback at first, then his face darkened as he said, "Qin Huairu, what are you doing here? Where's your mother-in-law?"
Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward, lowered her head, and said apologetically, "Uncle, my mother-in-law was wrong today. Please don't take it to heart."
Yi Zhonghai wouldn't listen to any of those sweet words. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Qin Huairu, get out of my way! I'm looking for Jia Zhangshi!"
With that, he pushed Qin Huairu aside and strode into the Jia family courtyard.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai spotted Jia Zhangshi inside the house and immediately shouted angrily, "Jia Zhangshi, are you out of your mind?! You dare to act like a scoundrel at my doorstep and try to extort money from me? Do you believe I won't call the police and have you arrested?"
Upon hearing that Yi Zhonghai was going to call the police, Jia Zhangshi immediately shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, you dare to call the police? Things in our compound are always resolved by the people in the compound themselves. Don't you, as an old man, have any concept of community unity?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was immediately taken aback.
He thought to himself, "It's like the arrow I shot has hit me back."
However, Yi Zhonghai was a cunning old fox. He quickly calmed down and said coldly, "Jia Zhangshi, don't give me that nonsense! You made my wife faint today. Who gave you the audacity to cause trouble in my house? Do you believe I'll call a general meeting of the whole courtyard and kick your Jia family out of the courtyard?"
The moment the words "kick them out" were uttered, Jia Zhangshi's heart skipped a beat. She quickly regained her composure, immediately adopting a pitiful expression, and sobbed, "Yi Zhonghai, look at my son, still lying in bed unable to move, and you want to kick us, a widow and orphan, out? Don't you have any humanity? You're Dongxu's master!"
As she spoke, she lunged at Yi Zhonghai with her claws outstretched.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi throwing a tantrum, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he raised his hand to push her.
To everyone's surprise, with a "rip," Jia Zhangshi's clothes were torn into strips.
Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhangshi's heart-wrenching screams came from inside the Jia family's house.
Hearing the commotion, everyone in the courtyard rushed into the Jia family home to see what was happening, and what they saw was truly astonishing.
Madam Jia clutched her chest tightly with both hands; her upper body clothing was torn to shreds, revealing her cleavage.
Yi Zhonghai was completely stunned. He had only given her a light push, so how could Jia Zhangshi's clothes be completely torn?
Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing, repeatedly cursing, "Yi Zhonghai, you old scoundrel! You've ruined my reputation! I don't want to live anymore!"
