Back in the courtyard house, thinking about her daughter-in-law's shameful deeds, Jia Zhangshi became angrier and angrier.
If Yi Zhonghai hadn't already collapsed, she would have loved to go to his door and cause a huge scene.
To be honest, Qin Huairu is really something. You can't just cheat on someone!
But of all people to steal from, why did you have to follow an old man? It's disgusting to even think about.
Looking at her son's portrait on the table, Jia Zhangshi shed tears of regret once again.
"My son! I'm so sorry! I couldn't keep an eye on your wife..."
After a period of grief, Jia Zhangshi looked at her son's photo and an idea came to her mind.
So she started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, quickly setting things up...
As evening approached, the workers began to leave work, and people gradually returned to the compound.
Qin Huairu had also finished work, but she went to the neighboring courtyard first to change the medicine on her face before heading home.
However, she was in a good mood at the moment because Dr. Hu had just said that her face was recovering quite well and that it shouldn't leave any marks.
"Waaaaah... Waaaaah...!"
As soon as she returned to the door, she saw that the door was closed. Qin Huairu could vaguely hear the child crying inside, and a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.
"Is my mother-in-law hitting the child again?"
Qin Huairu didn't have time to think and quickly pushed the door open, but the scene that came into view almost made her collapse to the ground in fright.
On the table in the center was a portrait of Jia Dongxu, grinning at her. A white cloth hung beside him, and white candles were lit, creating a chilling scene.
"Dongxu's funeral hall."
Qin Huairu instantly realized that this must be her mother-in-law's doing.
The two children, probably frightened by what they saw, were hiding on the kang (a heated brick bed) and crying quietly.
"Qin Huairu, you shameless woman, you see my son's memorial tablet, why don't you kneel down and beg for forgiveness?"
The sudden sound terrified Qin Huairu.
In a daze, she saw a figure suddenly emerge from behind the mourning hall, walking towards her with disheveled hair.
It wasn't until the figure got closer that Qin Huairu could see clearly that it was her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi.
"Mom, what are you doing? Look how scared you've made the child!"
"You slut, as the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Now kneel down and beg your man to forgive you for cheating on him."
"What?"
Qin Huairu now understood that her affair with Yi Zhonghai had finally come to light.
But she still stubbornly believed that she was right, and that in the end she was still doing it for the Jia family.
"Mom, don't be unreasonable here. I won't kneel. I advise you to clean up the house quickly, otherwise... I... I'll report you for engaging in feudal superstitious activities."
"What? You even reported your mother-in-law? That's outrageous!"
If someone else had said this, Jia Zhangshi might have been frightened, but Qin Huairu...
She would only take it as a joke.
She then brandished her Nine Yin White Bone Claw again, preparing to disfigure this vixen once more, to prevent her from flirting with other women.
When Qin Huairu saw her mother-in-law's stunt, she knew exactly what she was up to!
However, Dr. Hu had just repeatedly warned that the face must not get infected again, otherwise it would really be disfigured.
Therefore, Qin Huairu didn't want to have any more conflicts with her mother-in-law, so she ran outside.
She ran all the way to the backyard and went straight to the Liu family's house. When she saw Liu Haizhong, who was about to drink, Qin Huairu knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Second Uncle, you must help me! My mother-in-law is practicing feudal superstitions at home and even threatened to beat me to death! Please save me... Waaah... Waaah...!"
When Liu Haizhong heard that someone was promoting feudal superstition, he was furious. This was a sign that they didn't respect him, Captain Liu.
He quickly put down his wine glass, stood up, and prepared to go take a look.
"Stop kneeling. I'll go with you to see for myself. If what you say is true, I'll teach her a lesson."
"Oh, thank you, Second Uncle." Qin Huairu quickly stood up and walked out.
To be honest, she didn't expect Liu Haizhong to be of any help; she just wanted to scare her mother-in-law and stop her from causing trouble.
When the rest of the Liu family and the neighbors in the backyard saw that there was something to see, they immediately stopped eating and followed along.
The group arrived at the Jia family in a grand procession. When Madam Jia saw Liu Haizhong coming over, she had no self-awareness whatsoever and continued to speak recklessly.
"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, I really didn't expect this! You sly fox, you have so many old flames, you've found someone to back you up again."
"Hahaha…!"
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, the neighbors burst into laughter.
But when they saw the ashen face in Liu Haizhong's hair, they suppressed their laughter.
Liu Haizhong had originally thought that, out of consideration for their shared courtyard, he would turn a blind eye and let Jia Zhangshi quickly tidy up the mourning hall.
It seems this matter won't end well today.
Then he pointed at Jia Zhangshi and questioned her: "Jia Zhangshi, how dare you openly set up a mourning hall and even try to force someone to their death! You are blatantly promoting the Four Olds! Do you even respect the organization?"
"Get involved with Fourth Uncle?"
Jia Zhangshi was baffled. She had only been back for a short time and had no idea what this meant.
She felt insulted.
"Liu Haizhong, don't you dare try to smear me! I'd say you're messing with your fourth aunt!"
"Hahaha…!"
Jia Zhangshi once again made a startling statement, and this time the neighbors could no longer hold back.
Even if Liu Haizhong's face looked terrible, it couldn't stop their loud laughter.
"Alright, alright, Guangfu, go and inform Team Leader Zhang and the others to bring a few people over. Today I want to show this old hag what happens when she openly defies the organization. She's really gone too far."
Liu Haizhong is truly furious this time!
It's unbelievable that Captain Liu, a man of great influence in the steel rolling mill, would repeatedly suffer setbacks in this courtyard today.
It's true what they say, "The aunt can tolerate it, but the uncle can't."
Therefore, tonight, no matter what, he will make Jia Zhangshi pay the price and let her know how many eyes Master Ma has.
Upon hearing his father's order, Liu Guangfu had already vanished without a trace.
The next second, the entire court fell silent, because everyone knew that Jia Zhangshi was finished today.
Only she herself was unaware of just how much power Liu Haizhong wielded.
To bolster her courage, Jia Zhangshi continued to berate her aunts, addressing all of Liu Haizhong's aunts.
However, at that moment, Lin Wencui also arrived at the Intermediate People's Court.
She witnessed all of Jia Zhangshi's self-destructive behavior, but she didn't say a word, which was considered as tacit approval of Liu Haizhong's actions.
Time passed by, and just as the neighbors were about to go home for dinner, Liu Guangfu led six or seven people into the courtyard.
Two of them even had two long spears strapped to their backs.
Upon seeing this group of uninvited guests, the neighbors quickly stepped back, as if they had encountered a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
