Inside Lin Yang's house.
After pouring hot water into the foot bath, Lin Yang happily began soaking his feet.
Looking down at the pool of clear water, he felt that washing his feet like this was not quite enough.
With a thought, he sliced an old ginger that was originally stored in the system space into several pieces.
Looking at the old ginger floating in the foot bath, Lin Yang nodded in satisfaction.
After sticking his foot in, Lin Yang picked up a book he had found in the room and started reading it, feeling rather bored.
After about ten minutes, feeling a slight sweat on his body, Lin Yang lifted his foot and wiped it clean with a towel.
I picked up the foot-washing water and prepared to open the door to pour it out.
However, at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Jia Zhangshi's voice came along with the knocking: "Lin Yang, open the door."
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's voice, Lin Yang frowned.
Why would she come to see me so late at night?
While thinking about it, my hands were also busy, and I casually placed the washbasin on the dining table next to me.
He then opened the door and asked Jia Zhangshi in a puzzled tone, "Aunt Jia, what do you want to see me about?"
Jia Zhangshi didn't say anything, but instead took a deep sniff of the smell inside Lin Yang's room.
She noticed a smell of chicken soup and pork coming from inside the house.
Then you see a large basin that Lin Yang has placed on the table, with a layer of ginger floating on top.
A thought struck Jia Zhangshi: Could this be the broth left over from blanching the pork?
If that's the case, she'll definitely have to get a sip later.
If you can't eat pork, you can still get some pork soup to enjoy the greasy taste.
Lin Yang was unaware that Jia Zhangshi had her eye on his foot bath water.
He noticed that he wasn't getting a response after speaking to Jia Zhangshi, so he frowned and said, "Aunt Jia, are you alright? If not, I'm going to get ready to rest!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Madam Jia turned and closed the door herself, then looked at Lin Yang and said:
"Yoko, it's like this!"
"Didn't your sister Qin give you five hundred yuan a few days ago?"
"Look at our family's current situation, why don't you give me back this five hundred yuan first?"
After she finished speaking, she stared intently at Lin Yang, completely oblivious to the fact that there was nothing wrong with what she had said.
Lin Yang was speechless at Jia Zhangshi's words.
He said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Aunt Jia, did you come to see me in the middle of the night just to tell me a joke? I've already given you the money, and I've gotten Jia Dongxu out of trouble! Now you want me to give you the money back?"
“Yes!” Jia Zhangshi said matter-of-factly, “My son is paralyzed in the hospital now. You can forget about donating money, but you should at least give me this money!”
"But wasn't your son released from the police station before?" Lin Yang frowned as he looked at Jia Zhangshi.
He now understands what it means to be unreasonable and argumentative.
If Jia Dongxu were really imprisoned, he would genuinely be standing up for Jia Zhangshi and giving her gifts.
Now he's probably in a completely hopeless situation.
"I don't care!" Jia Zhangshi said impatiently, her face darkening. "Anyway, I've already delivered this money to you. At worst, you can have the police station drag my son back to jail. Dongxu is paralyzed whether he's in the hospital or at the police station."
At this point, she complained to Lin Yang, "If the police station hadn't released my son so quickly, he probably wouldn't have gotten into this mess!"
"Aunt Jia, you should be reasonable!" Lin Yang said, his tone becoming impatient.
"You and that old man came to me asking for help! You also begged me to deliver the money! Now that the people have been delivered, you want me to ask for the money back?"
"I'm telling you! Impossible!"
Lin Yang's appearance did not cause any emotional fluctuation in Jia Zhangshi.
She sneered and then looked at Lin Yang threateningly, "Yangzi, if you talk to me like that, don't blame Aunt Jia for being ruthless!"
"Heartless?" Lin Yang said disdainfully, "Then tell me, how do you intend to be heartless?"
Madam Jia, with a defiant and reckless attitude, said:
"You say that Lao Yi's private donations to us are illegal, but does that mean that giving gifts to people at the police station isn't illegal?"
"Since my son is already like this, I might as well just take money from the police station and tell everyone about how I got Dongxu out!"
"I doubt you'll even be able to keep your job then!"
Standing behind Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu was startled by her mother-in-law's words.
She never expected her mother-in-law to ask for money in this way.
This isn't just asking for money, it's outright extortion!
Seeing Lin Yang's pale face, she was just about to speak.
Lin Yang's expression changed, and he actually laughed.
Madam Jia frowned and said, "Lin Yang, don't play dumb with me. You have to pay back the money, whether you like it or not!"
Lin Yang smiled at Jia Zhangshi, whose face was contorted with rage, and said in an extremely relaxed tone, "Aunt Jia, are you threatening me?"
“It’s not a threat!” Madam Jia shook her head and said, “I’m just telling you a fact.”
"Alright, then I'll show you something." After saying that, Lin Yang ignored Jia Zhangshi and turned to walk towards the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
"Mom, why are you doing this!" Qin Huairu couldn't help but complain to Jia Zhangshi.
"Don't talk!" Jia Zhangshi frowned and rebuked her, then slyly noticed that Lin Yang wasn't paying attention to her.
She immediately walked to the pork soup she had spotted earlier, at a speed far beyond her years.
While watching Lin Yang's back, she suddenly lowered her head and took a big gulp of water.
Qin Huairu, standing behind them, was completely dumbfounded.
What is my mother-in-law doing?
What is she secretly drinking?
Lin Yang found the parts that Jia Dongxu had privately processed.
He turned around and saw a scene that shocked him immensely.
Jia Zhangshi actually buried half of her fat face in her foot bath water.
At this moment, Madam Jia also sensed that something was wrong.
Why does this water only taste like ginger and not pork?
As for foot bath water and the like, she couldn't even imagine it.
After all, these days, every little bit of food is precious.
Ginger is something we barely have time to use for seasoning, let alone for a foot bath.
"Aunt Jia, what are you doing!" Lin Yang, who was initially a little angry, was now only shocked.
Seeing that she had been caught stealing water, Jia Zhangshi looked up at Lin Yang and said, "I was thirsty, so I just took a sip from this basin of water!"
Without a trace of shame, she curled her lip and looked at Lin Yang, saying, "Lin Yang, why are you boiling water with old ginger? It's really strange. I thought it was meat broth!"
? ? ? ? ?
Lin Yang was genuinely amused. He glanced at the self-righteous Jia Zhangshi and said, "Aunt Jia, if you're thirsty, just tell me. Why are you drinking my foot bath water?"
