Chapter 55 When the city gate catches fire, the innocent bystanders suffer.



Just as Jia Zhangshi was in a dilemma, Qin Huairu, who was standing to the side, suddenly had a brilliant idea and said to Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, stop making a fuss. Didn't Dongxu just explain it to you? It was the workshop foreman who punished him. Why did you sneak over here to cause trouble for your master?"

Hurry home, or how will those two get along in the future? What will others think of your son if you act like this!

Upon hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Jia Zhangshi instantly lost her composure. "Damn it, Qin Huairu is really ruthless. She's shifting the blame onto me. Oh well, it's my own fault for causing this mess."

Then Jia Zhangshi released her hand and said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Damn it, it's all my fault today. I ran out before Dongxu finished speaking. Don't take it to heart. Didn't you say you had something to do? Well, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Jia Zhangshi quickly fled the scene.

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had left, Qin Huairu quickly gave Jia Dongxu a wink.

Jia Dongxu immediately understood, quickly came to Yi Zhonghai's side, helped Yi Zhonghai up, and casually said.

"Master, I'll take you home. My mom is really something. I'm going to tell her when we get home. How could she do that!"

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he helped Yi Zhonghai walk home before Yi could react.

Yi Zhonghai was numb by now, mechanically following Jia Dongxu. With each step, a lump of golden stuff fell to the ground, making every step truly difficult.

As more and more debris fell, the entire courtyard became unbearably smelly.

Liu Haizhong, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, saw the golden object and his stomach churned instantly. A surge of urges rose in his heart. Liu Haizhong realized that something bad was about to happen and turned to run away. He had only taken two steps when a primordial force erupted from him.

The neighbors weren't much better off. After being hit twice over, they all started swearing angrily. The cunning Sun Zhengguo had already run away while Yi Zhonghai was still standing there.

Seeing that the main characters had left, the surrounding neighbors scattered, leaving behind clumps of golden substance and pools of vomit residue, making the smell in the courtyard even more pungent, and the scene was a complete mess.

Seeing that everyone else had left, Qin Huairu was stunned. Others could leave, but she couldn't. Someone had to come and clean this courtyard, right?

Call Jia Zhangshi to clean up? Don't be ridiculous. Even if we leave these yellow and white things until next year, Jia Zhangshi would never bother to clean them up.

Finally, after a struggle with her conscience and some self-hypnosis, Qin Huairu went home, grabbed some tools, and started cleaning the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu escorted Yi Zhonghai back, but didn't leave immediately. He helped boil water and only spoke when Yi Zhonghai was taking a bath.

"Master, you take a shower first. I have to go to work. I'm going back now. But don't worry, I'll definitely tell my mom when I get back."

Just as Jia Dongxu was about to leave, Yi Zhonghai finally realized what was happening and said leisurely.

"Help me ask for three days off, just say I'm not feeling well."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant and casually replied.

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he left.

After Jia Dongxu left, Yi Zhonghai went into the room and began to wash.

When Jia Dongxu returned home and was about to go to work, he was pulled aside by Jia Zhangshi and asked her a question.

"Dongxu, did Mom get you into trouble? Is Yi Zhonghai alright?"

"It's nothing, I'm taking a shower at home right now. They asked me to ask for a few days off."

"Why do you need to ask for leave, and for several days?"

Jia Zhangshi asked, puzzled.

"Of course he was afraid people would laugh at him! But you're really something, Mom. Didn't you realize he needed to go to the bathroom?"

Madam Jia pursed her lips, about to say something, when Jia Dongxu, unable to wait any longer, hurriedly spoke up.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have to go to work, or I'll get my salary docked again."

After saying this, Jia Dongxu hurriedly left home and headed towards the steel rolling mill.

...

It was nearly noon when Qin Huairu finally finished cleaning up the courtyard, which shows how many people were affected by what happened that morning.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law had finished cleaning, Jia Zhangshi stopped hiding in the house and started giving orders again.

"Huai Ru! Stop cooking for a moment, I'm hungry, hurry up and cook some food."

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu almost spat blood in her face. "I've already finished everything, and you're telling me to stop? Where were you before?"

However, Qin Huairu dared not say that and quickly agreed.

"Okay, let me clean up first. It won't delay your meal."

Ignoring Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi leaned against the window again, keeping a close eye on Yi Zhonghai's house.

Since running back to the house in the morning, Jia Zhangshi had been peering out the window all morning, but there had been no movement from Yi Zhonghai's house.

"Could it be that Yi Zhonghai is afraid of her? Or is this old woman with no descendants hiding something bad in the house?"

Jia Zhangshi muttered to herself.

And so, Jia Zhangshi kept watch for another afternoon, and Yi Zhonghai, except for going to the toilet once, still did not leave the house.

In the evening, as soon as Sun Zhengguo got out of school, he heard Yan Bugui speaking at the door.

"Zhengguo, you're really clever, kid. You don't know, do you? After you left this morning, you knocked out a whole bunch of people. Nobody in the entire Central Courtyard dared to enter."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengguo exclaimed, "There's more to this story!"

"Since we have nothing else to do, Uncle, could you tell me about it?"

Yan Bugui happened to have nothing else to do, so he decided to just talk about it for fun, since he wasn't embarrassed. So he began to explain at length.

When Sun Zhengguo had finished listening, Liu Haizhong returned. He happened to hear Yan Bugui recounting his heroic deeds, and was so angry that he didn't even say hello before heading to the backyard.

To understand why Liu Haizhong was so angry, we have to go back to the steel rolling mill.

I don't know which unscrupulous person spread the rumors around the factory, but as a result, Yi Zhonghai became the number one celebrity in the steel rolling mill, while Liu Haizhong, who was not very talented, became the second celebrity.

Normally, with Yi Zhonghai taking the lead, things would be a little better for him, but the problem is that Yi Zhonghai didn't go to work!

So throughout the day, he, Liu Haizhong, the second most famous person, suffered, being pointed at and talked about wherever he went.

What happened this morning was just something to watch the excitement, but you ended up getting yourself involved. Doesn't that make you angry?

After Liu Haizhong returned, another celebrity from the compound finally arrived late. That person was Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu became famous in the factory because his family was the instigator; everything started because of his family.

Brother Qian from the fitter's workshop even gave him the nickname "Master Killer," making Jia Dongxu's experience in a day similar to Liu Haizhong's.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, he felt physically and mentally exhausted.

A person lies in bed, thinking silently.
