Upon seeing this outcome, both elderly men wore expressions of disbelief.
However, since Sun Dajiang was an old man in the compound, they did not choose to go against the grain.
Just as the two were about to turn and leave, they were surprised to find that Sun Dajiang was still standing firmly in the same spot, showing no sign of leaving.
The two looked at Sun Jiang with suspicion, wondering what he was up to.
Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Sun Dajiang slowly spoke, his tone calm and firm.
“Mrs. Jia, you are in charge of arranging the grain, but I must make this clear beforehand: if any member of your family goes hungry, don’t blame us gentlemen for being impolite.”
Just as Jia Zhangshi was still wondering what exactly meant by "rude," Sun Dajiang's next words made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"At that time, you will either obediently go back and accept reform, or you will pack your bags and go back to your hometown in the countryside."
So that's how it is! Sun Dajiang was actually waiting for Jia Zhangshi here!
Upon hearing this, the two elderly men immediately perked up, straightened their backs, and stood firmly on the same side as Sun Dajiang without hesitation, expressing their determination to resolutely crack down on this kind of misconduct.
"Impossible! He's an old man, isn't this making things difficult for me? You've dug a huge pit for me! It's a famine year now, we're already thanking God if we can keep people from starving, how can we dare to hope that the whole family can fill their stomachs? I really don't have that ability!"
"Ha ha!"
Sun Dajiang sneered and retorted.
"You can't do it? If you can't even do it yourself, then why do you think you can eat your fill every day? Go ask everyone in this courtyard, young and old, who can live like you and never have to worry about going hungry?"
Sun Dajiang's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight to people's hearts.
The onlookers nodded in agreement, feeling very uncomfortable with such behavior.
Why should you, Jia Zhangshi, be able to eat your fill every day while living in the same compound?
In an instant, condemnations and curses resounded throughout the courtyard.
"That's right! Madam Jia has gone too far!"
"In our compound, if we're talking about shamelessness, Jia Zhangshi is second to none."
"This kind of person deserves to be punished! Send her back to her hometown as soon as possible."
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi completely lost her composure. She could no longer maintain her previous arrogance. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her eyes revealed anxiety and helplessness.
Her gaze quickly shifted to her son, Jia Dongxu, who was standing to the side, as if she were pleading with him for help.
Jia Dongxu instantly understood his mother's intention and stepped forward without hesitation, wanting to help her out of her predicament.
"Mom, stop being unreasonable. Quickly apologize to those gentlemen and promise it won't happen again."
Jia Dongxu's words were like a bucket of ice water, mercilessly poured onto Qin Huairu's heart.
She never dreamed that Jia Dongxu would be so tolerant and submissive to his mother, indulging her behavior time and time again.
In this family, it seems that only I am the marginalized outsider.
"Gentlemen, I admit I made a mistake this time, and I will definitely correct it. Please forgive me this time!"
Jia Zhangshi was a woman who could bend and stretch; asking her to say a few words of begging for mercy was easier than farting—she could do it without hesitation.
"Alright! Madam Jia, I don't know if you truly know you're wrong, or if you're just saying it casually."
“I’ll give you one more chance this time. From now on, if you cause trouble in the yard again, you can go back to your old home in the countryside right now.”
"Everyone is here today, which serves as a witness to prevent you from denying it in the future."
Everyone accepted the outcome, except for Jia Zhangshi, who felt a little resentful.
However, the current situation is pressing, and she is now in a passive position, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
After all, she brought this upon herself, and she could only silently bear the bitter fruit of her own actions.
"Alright, that's all. Everyone, please go your separate ways!"
At Sun Dajiang's command, those who had been watching the spectacle dispersed when they saw there was no more excitement to be had.
This farce, orchestrated by Jia Zhangshi, was easily resolved by Sun Dajiang with just a few words.
After returning home, the Sun family continued eating, and Sun Dajiang took the opportunity to show off to his wife.
"Wen Cui, how did I handle it? Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, satisfied. Your Uncle Sun has such great official power, how dare that shrew Jia Zhangshi bare her teeth?"
Hehehe!
Seeing his daughter-in-law secretly laughing, Sun Dajiang felt a little embarrassed, so he stopped boasting about his great achievements and quickly ate his dinner.
After dinner, Sun Zhengguo remembered that the hard-earned money that Director Ding had given him at the food factory that day was still in his bag!
So Sun Zhengguo picked up the canvas bag, took out the envelope, and handed it to Ning Xiaowei without even looking at it.
"Honey, the renovation work at the food factory has been completed these past few days. This is a reward from the factory manager for his hard work. You can keep it!"
Ning Xiaowei accepted the money without hesitation.
In the past few months, Sun Zhengguo has either stayed up all night painting or traveled on business trips to work overtime to modify machines. Ning Xiaowei has long been used to these external sources of income.
"Jung-guk, why are there so many this time?"
Ning Xiaowei saw the money and receipts in the envelope and asked in surprise.
Hearing their daughter-in-law's words, Mr. and Mrs. Sun also came over.
How much money is inside?
Sun Zhengguo didn't look at the envelope from the moment he received it until he got home, as he really wasn't interested in money. However, he was quite curious about it at the moment.
Seeing this, Ning Xiaowei took out the money inside and started counting it.
"I have 100 yuan in cash, 10 jin of grain coupons, 1 jin of meat coupons, and 1 jin of oil coupons."
"That's quite a lot. This food factory is really damn rich."
After hearing the expenses reported by their daughter-in-law, Sun Dajiang and his wife couldn't help but sigh!
"This Factory Director Ding is truly a remarkable person, not bad at all."
Although Sun Zhengguo didn't care much for the money and tickets, he genuinely gave a considerable amount.
"Zhengguo, isn't this too much? I remember you guys haven't been working on this job for more than a few days. What if something goes wrong?"
Ning Xiaowei said with a worried expression.
However, you can't blame her. Sun Zhengguo's extra income in the past few months has already caught up with her salary for three years. Anyone would feel uneasy about that.
"Don't worry about it! What kind of organization is that food factory? They wouldn't care about a few measly coins. Besides, it's all earned through their labor, what are you afraid of?"
Seeing Sun Zhengguo's confident words, Ning Xiaowei put the money in her pocket, but she didn't take the ticket and handed it to Lin Wencui instead.
"Mom, the same old rule applies. You keep the tickets; we don't need them."
Look how arrogant those words are! If the people in this courtyard heard them, who knows what they would say behind their backs?
Lin Wencui was already used to all of this and naturally took the ticket from her daughter-in-law's hand.
