"What are you saying? My precious grandson got his body crushed by this broken bicycle. Isn't it only right that we pay some compensation?"

Jia Zhangshi spat back, her spittle flying everywhere.

In her opinion, whoever was injured was in the right, and Chen Jun should compensate them!

"Hey, it's not like whoever shouts the loudest is right." Chen Jun glanced at Bang Geng, who was still yelling, and asked, "Why are you running around in front of our house so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"Tell me, are you planning to do something bad?"

Yesterday, Qin Huairu came to their house to ask for fried cicadas, but Chen Jun didn't give them to her.

Today, Banggeng also came to their house to ask for fried cicadas, and he asked for a whole pot at once, but Chen Jun scared him away by carrying a knife.

Then that night, Banggeng's finger got caught in the bicycle.

It's obvious that this kid came out to cause trouble.

Tsk tsk, at just two years old, he's already learned how to retaliate. He's truly a Korean comedian!

He inherited Jia Zhangshi's bad habits and started being wicked from a young age.

"You bad guy! If you don't give me the cicada, I'll smash it!"

At this age, Bang Geng is at the point where he can't keep things to himself. He already harbored resentment towards Chen Jun, and now that his hand has been caught in the hand by this woman's bicycle, his resentment has multiplied several times over.

"So the little brat was trying to smash the car, huh? Tsk tsk, he tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. He deserves it!" Xu Damao mocked mercilessly from the side. "Kids grow up to be like the people they associate with."

"How did he learn revenge at such a young age? Did someone teach him?"

"If you ask me, I'd say he must have learned it from Jia Zhangshi. She's stolen cart wheels before, so maybe she's thinking of doing the same thing today."

Clearly, everyone was taken aback by Bang Geng's words.

If someone has such bad ideas at such a young age, what will they be like when they grow up?

Jia Zhangshi quickly covered Banggeng's mouth: "My dear grandson, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Grandma, I didn't, boohoo..."

Bang Geng wanted to argue, but Jia Zhangshi covered his mouth tightly.

"Heh, everyone heard that, right? Bang Geng hurt his own hand, but Jia Zhangshi came to me demanding five hundred yuan in compensation. Five hundred yuan is exactly the amount I paid for the house. I strongly suspect that Jia Zhangshi instructed Bang Geng to pinch his finger and then take the opportunity to extort money from him." Chen Jun glanced at Jia Zhangshi and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's face froze, and Qin Huairu, who was standing next to her, even slapped her a few times.

"How could you do this, child!"

"Qin Huairu, stop right there! Who told you to hit my precious grandson!" Madam Jia Zhang, protective of her own, pushed Qin Huairu aside.

Good heavens!

Seeing this, everyone's opinions of Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng grew even stronger.

"They're still protecting her, but let's see who can control her when she grows up."

"It's really good that we've found the right person to take care of the child with Jia Zhangshi. There won't be any peace and quiet in the courtyard from now on."

"It's alright. Evil deeds will be punished by Heaven. This time, you're just reaping what you sowed."

"I was just feeling sorry for someone so young suffering so much, but now it seems like they deserve it."

The residents who had initially felt some sympathy for the stick-like creature now all felt disgusted.

"You deserve it, your whole family deserves it!"

Madam Jia Zhang wouldn't allow anyone to speak ill of her beloved grandson, so she cursed and swore and sought out someone to argue with.

Chen Jun watched the commotion for a while, and only spoke up after Jia Zhangshi finished arguing with the others: "Jia Zhangshi, do you still want compensation? If so, let's go to the yamen and settle this. Let's see if I can compensate your family five hundred yuan, or you can go and be imprisoned."

"snort!"

At this point, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't dare ask for any compensation.

She worried that she would be sent to jail by Chen Jun the moment she accepted the money, so Jia Zhangshi snorted coldly, grabbed the stick, and hurriedly left.

Qin Huairu glanced at everyone and, seeing that Liu Haizhong had no intention of getting involved, lowered her head and hurried home.

The Jia family has no allies now, so they can't expect anyone to speak well of them.

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. We have to go to work tomorrow!" Liu Haizhong said, seeing that the matter was over. He stepped forward to summarize, "Neighbors should love each other and not harbor ill intentions. I hope everyone will take the Jia family as a warning."

After saying that, he said to Chen Jun, "Chen Jun, take the bicycle inside."

"Um!"

Chen Jun nodded and pushed the bicycle into the house.

After everyone had gone home, Banggeng was still crying loudly.

By this time, his fingers were swollen quite a bit, wobbling like two carrots.

"Don't cry, my dear grandson. Grandma will put some lard on you and it won't hurt anymore."

It was late at night, and Jia Zhangshi didn't know what to do. This was the only method she could think of.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly stopped her: "Mom, don't use anything indiscriminately. If the swelling hasn't gone down by tomorrow morning, we'll go straight to the hospital."

Get out of my way!

Jia Zhangshi shoved Qin Huairu away viciously, then, feeling that this was too lenient on Qin Huairu, she rushed over and slapped her again.

"Qin Huairu, don't think I won't take care of you just because you're pregnant. Banggeng's injury is all your fault!"

"If you don't give the cicada to He Daqing, how will Banggeng be able to go to Chen Jun's house to beg for food?"

"How can you blame me for this?"

Having not been slapped in a long time, Qin Huairu retorted immediately: "I'm doing this to clean up your mess. If you're going to catch cicadas, then catch cicadas. What are you doing riding He Daqing's tricycle?"

"Don't tell me it's for the family, you're just lazy, too lazy to walk out of the city."

"How dare you talk back!" Madam Jia roared in anger!

"I'm being reasonable!"

"Home is a place for love, not for logic! Ahhhhhh, today I'll show you what the rules of the Jia family really are!"

In the middle of the night, those living in the backyard could hear the Jia family arguing.

"Chen Jun, did the Jia family act like this before?" Chen Xueru, who had been woken up, was no longer sleepy and started chatting with Chen Jun.

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Their family has calmed down a lot now."

What?

Things have calmed down a lot since then?

Chen Xueru said she was shocked.

This unreasonable behavior is already a weakened version. How arrogant would it be before it was nerfed?

Seemingly anticipating Chen Xueru's curiosity, Chen Jun continued, "A few years ago, our father sacrificed his life in the north. We fell seriously ill, and our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford cornmeal."

“At that time, Jia Zhangshi began to scheme for our family’s possessions.”

"Why should they? Their family also has one man and two women," Chen Xueru said, puzzled.

"Because the Jia family had powerful backers and influential figures at that time, few people in the courtyard dared to offend them."

Since he wasn't sleepy anyway, Chen Jun recounted what had happened in the courtyard house.

Originally, it was just a story to tell, but after listening to it, Chen Xueru hugged Chen Jun with heartache.
