The two finalized the details at home before having dinner. The next day, Jia Zhangshi went to the market early to buy groceries. Qin Huairu also went to the market early to continue searching for hotels and negotiating cooperation.

Around 5 p.m., both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu arrived at the hotel entrance. Upon arrival, the two of them stood on either side of the revolving door, then sat down and began to cry. No matter what anyone asked them, they didn't answer; they simply sat there and wept.

Although no one knew what had happened, it still attracted a crowd of onlookers. Upon seeing their faces, everyone involuntarily stepped back; their situation was simply too exaggerated.

People began to speculate: why were they sitting in front of the Peninsula International Hotel crying? Had the Peninsula done something to them? Otherwise, why would the two of them be here crying for no reason?

The world is never short of busybodies, and before long, countless versions of the story appeared in their mouths. Ordinary people like to sympathize with the weak, and one or two of them began to feel sorry for Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing that their plan had succeeded, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi did not offer any explanation.

The more they acted this way, the more those people felt they were being wronged. One after another, they felt they were on the side of justice.

Yang Tao, standing upstairs, didn't care about any of this. She let anyone cause trouble. She didn't care what happened to them; after all, high-end villas and certain mysterious places were frequently targeted by meteorites and the like.

There were many people envious of their profits, but Yang Tao and Wei Hua didn't care at all. The more ruthless the other party was, the happier Yang Tao and Wei Hua were, because it meant a higher return for themselves.

Wei Hua is now considering expanding overseas. He plans to create several unicorn companies, and things will get interesting if other countries become envious.

To find out if their actions had elicited a reaction from Wei Hua, Yang Tao called Wei Hua while still in her office.

Knowing that Wei Hua wasn't reacting, Yang Tao told the hotel staff to ignore Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi and let them make a scene as they pleased.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were surprised that no one paid any attention to them. Perhaps because they knew they had to sell vegetables and continue business negotiations the next day, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi left around 10:00 p.m., but the news slowly spread.

The following evening, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi arrived at the Peninsula International Hotel around the same time. They used the same tactic as yesterday: saying nothing, just crying.

If yesterday was just a coincidence, then today has become inevitable. Finally, someone couldn't resist their curiosity and saw a man in his forties walk towards Qin Huairu.

"Hello! My surname is Gu. I don't know what problems you've encountered. Has the owner of this hotel bullied you? What can you do for me? Although I can't guarantee that I can get justice for you, I do have some ability to at least let more people know about your injustice."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhangshi, but in the end said nothing and continued to cry.

Qin Huairu didn't want to escalate the situation yet. Even if she wanted to, she had to wait until Yang Tao and the others showed up. Before they appeared, she couldn't speak ill of them; once things fell apart, the opportunity for cooperation would be completely lost.

So no matter what the man surnamed Gu said, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi just kept crying with their heads on their knees. They cried until almost 10 p.m.

On the third day, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi used the same method to deal with Yang Tao again. After three days of fermentation, more and more people gathered to watch. Many people harbored resentment towards the rich; if they were not doing well themselves, they didn't want others to be either.

Wei Hua already had a plan to deal with Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi's actions. He had already gathered many people from the vicinity of the courtyard the very next day, simply waiting to trigger the system reward.

Once the system is triggered, it will be time to expose Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi's true colors. Moreover, Wei Hua has prepared a generous gift for Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi.

As someone from a later era, Wei Hua naturally understood the importance of public opinion. Weren't they trying to use others to oppress him? He would do the opposite.

Qin Huairu made her fortune selling vegetables, right? Then let's blacklist Qin Huairu in the food industry. Wei Hua has even prepared a professional legal team. If Qin Huairu dares to talk nonsense, we'll make her lose everything. At worst, we'll have the lawyers fight her in court.

Wei Hua wanted to see if Qin Huairu could hold on in the end.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi were unaware of Wei Hua's scheme. Seeing that no one had paid her any attention for three whole days, Qin Huairu gradually lost patience. Since she was having a hard time, Qin Huairu didn't want Wei Hua and his wife to have it easy either.

To attract more attention, Qin Huairu cried much louder than usual. Previously, she had only cried silently, but now she was actually making a scene with Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi even sat on the ground and started using her signature moves.

She cried and pounded the ground with her hands, calling out to Old Jia and Jia Dongxu. Jia Zhangshi's commotion immediately attracted a lot of attention.

As more and more people gathered around, Qin Huairu began to act. Without realizing it, she removed the object from her face and then hugged Jia Zhangshi.

“Grandma, don’t be sad. We’re just ordinary people, how can we fight against others? Let’s go back! If we keep making a scene like this, who knows what the hotel owner will do to us.”

"You know what Wei Hua and his gang are capable of. Isn't the reason we've become like this because of them? You can never win against a strong person, and the poor can never beat the rich."

“Aren’t our injuries enough? Father-in-law and Dongxu died at their hands. If this continues, Banggeng and we will only get worse.”

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Zhangshi gradually quieted down, but the people around her became extremely angry. Just then, the system's voice rang out.

"Congratulations, host, on forming a karmic bond with Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law. The bond is currently being settled. Congratulations, host, on receiving a thousandfold critical hit. The reward for the host includes one thousand professional medical personnel, one large hospital, ten targeted drugs, thirty points of constitution, and thirty years of lifespan. The hospital and medical personnel can be materialized at any time."

Upon hearing the system's words, Wei Hua secretly waved to the security captain.

After receiving Wei Hua's instructions, the security captain immediately gave his men a wink, and then more than a dozen people emerged from other areas. These were all neighbors from the nearby courtyard, and they knew everything about Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi's affair.

"Aren't these Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, who were struck by lightning? Could there be other hidden reasons behind the deaths of Old Jia and Jia Dongxu? Wasn't Old Jia killed by the anti-traitor squad?"

"Could it be that Old Jia didn't die back then, but instead lived in hiding all this time?"

"How is that possible? If Lao Jia hadn't died, how could they have survived until now? Besides, I was right next to Jia Dongxu when he died. The police station has records; it was the police who carried the drowned Jia Dongxu back. How could that be fake?"

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone next to him immediately stood up.

“I’ve heard about the Jia family too. I live in the courtyard next to theirs. What you just said is pretty much true. Everyone in our area knows what kind of people the Jia family are. Jia Dongxu did get bitten by a poisonous snake while fishing and then drowned. But the story of Old Jia seems different from what I know.”

"The man surnamed Jia was indeed not a good person, but he was not killed by the anti-traitor squad. It seems that Jia Zhangshi was greedy and accidentally tripped and fell down the hillside while hunting in the mountains, where he was killed."

“You don’t know what happened to her face! Let me tell you, it’s because Jia Zhangshi committed so many evil deeds that she was punished by God and struck by lightning and looked like this.”

"Sometimes it's better to be kind, otherwise you'll get your comeuppance sooner or later, just like that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

After one person finished speaking, others began to add to their points. The attention of everyone else was quickly diverted. Everyone wanted to know why Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi had become like this.

Just as everyone was wondering, a worker from a steel rolling mill came out.

"People should indeed be mindful of their words. I don't know the details, but I used to work in the same factory as Qin Huairu. The reason Qin Huairu ended up like this is mainly because she accidentally fell into the chemicals, which resulted in her condition."

"She herself was fired from the steel mill for her many misdeeds. I never expected that she would start framing others now. We should avoid contact with people like her to avoid being implicated by her."
