Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, if we can help the police arrest the bald guy and his gang, we might be able to recover some of the money.
Calculate the losses I lost and the debts I paid back to them, and it totals a thousand yuan!
If she could really get a thousand dollars back, she and Banggeng wouldn't have to live such a hard life anymore.
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu continued, "Comrade, let's go arrest the person now. The sooner we arrest the person, the sooner we can find the murderer who killed my husband."
The police officer nodded: "Okay, let's set off now."
"Qin Huairu, you heartless maggot! Your man just passed away and you're already leaving? Are you even human?" Madam Jia was still immersed in grief and couldn't pull herself out of it.
The entire Jia family is now down to just the two adults, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. With Jia Dongxu gone, there are still many things to deal with.
Therefore, in Jia Zhangshi's view, Qin Huairu was looking for an opportunity to run away.
"I'm going to avenge Dongxu and get back the thousand yuan they cheated him out of," Qin Huairu explained helplessly.
Holy crap?
A thousand yuan?
Madam Jia was stunned for a moment, then shouted at Qin Huairu, "What are you waiting for? Go now!"
A thousand dollars can not only buy back a house, but also buy you a new job.
Jia Dongxu is gone; she has to plan for the future.
A thousand yuan is enough to resolve all their family conflicts.
With Qin Huairu's help, they successfully caught Zhang Laosan, who was about to go out and fool around, in the alley.
As a hoodlum, Zhang Laosan was terrified of the police.
"Qin Huairu, what do you mean?"
"Zhang Laosan, don't play dumb here!" Qin Huairu stared intently at Zhang Laosan, as if the two had some deep-seated grudge: "You colluded with Baldy to cheat Jia Dongxu, and when he couldn't pay his gambling debts, you actually beat him to death!"
"What? Qin Huairu, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Laosan was shocked.
When the police arrived at the courtyard house, Zhang Laosan was still fast asleep in bed and hadn't heard the news at all.
If he had known Jia Dongxu was gone, he would have packed his things and gone to lay low long ago.
"His body is in the hospital, you're just waiting to be shot!" Qin Huairu angrily rebuked Zhang Laosan.
After understanding the situation, the police immediately put a silver bracelet on Zhang Laosan.
"Hey, hey, comrade, I'm innocent!"
"Yes, I took Jia Dongxu to play cards, but I didn't take him to gamble. He went willingly on his own. Besides, his death had nothing to do with me..."
But no matter how Zhang Laosan tried to argue, he couldn't escape the fact that he was taken away.
The commotion in the alley quickly attracted the attention of the neighbors.
This time, not only courtyard house number 95, but also several other courtyard houses knew about the news.
"Really dead?? I always said that those bald guys were ruthless and wouldn't let Jia Dongxu off easily. It's just a pity that Qin Huairu became a widow at such a young age."
"What a pity. It would have been better if Jia Dongxu had died. At least he wouldn't have caused so much trouble. Look at the state of the Jia family now. They lost their jobs, their houses, and he almost gave his wife away. It's good that he's dead. With death comes the debt relief. All the money Jia Dongxu owed to the casino will be cleared up."
"That may be true, but the Jia family will have no men left from now on."
"Can Jia Dongxu even be considered a man?"
Listening to the gossip of the neighbors, Qin Huairu didn't say a word. No matter how outrageous Jia Dongxu was in life, he was gone now.
The most important thing right now is to bring Jia Dongxu home and take care of his funeral arrangements.
As evening fell, Xu Damao returned to the courtyard house in a nonchalant manner.
I sensed something was wrong as soon as I entered the room.
There were too many people gathered in the front yard; something serious must have happened.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Xu Damao asked curiously as he approached Yan Bugui.
As the gatekeeper of the courtyard house, there was nothing that Yan Bugui didn't know about, big or small, happening in the courtyard.
"Jia Zhangshi is back," Yan Bugui said quietly.
Wow!
Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "If she knew about all the messes Jia Dongxu had made, she'd be furious!"
"Alas, Jia Dongxu is dead."
"Oh dear, I'm so angry!" Xu Damao realized something was wrong as soon as he said it.
"What? Jia Dongxu is dead? How did he die?"
Although the two had become enemies because of something that happened before, and were the biggest rivals in the courtyard, they had grown up in the same courtyard after all. Xu Damao was still quite surprised that they were suddenly gone.
"I heard that he was beaten to death. Jia Zhangshi had just returned when Jia Dongxu left. What a mess!" Yan Bugui sighed, then pointed in the direction of Zhang Laosan's house.
"Right now, Jia Zhangshi is arguing with Zhang Laosan's wife. She wants to set up a mourning hall in front of the rented house, but Zhang Laosan's wife is unwilling."
"By the way, Zhang Laosan was taken away by the police for investigation. You weren't involved in this, were you?"
Everyone in the compound knows that Xu Damao hates Jia Dongxu and takes every opportunity to annoy him. Now that Jia Dongxu has fallen into a big pit, Xu Damao should be the happiest person.
"Uncle, you can't just say things like that! Although I, Xu Damao, am not exactly a gentleman, I am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!" Xu Damao quickly said.
Xu Damao didn't want to get involved in a serious incident that resulted in a death.
Besides, he really didn't get involved in this matter.
Just then, Chen Jun also got off work and went home, with a lamb chop hanging on his handlebars.
He didn't buy these lamb chops; he got them from Director Song before leaving get off work because he had done Director Song a big favor today.
The lamb chops must weigh at least five or six pounds, and Chen Jun plans to use them to make soup.
"Chen Jun, you're back!"
Upon seeing this, Yan Bugui hurried over, first glancing at the lamb chops on the handlebars, and then recounting the story of Jia Zhangshi's transformation and Jia Dongxu's death.
Chen Jun raised an eyebrow in surprise upon hearing this.
The timing is wrong!
According to the original plot, Jia Dongxu shouldn't have died at this time, before Xiao Dang and Huaihua were even born.
Wait, no, Xiao Dang is already in Qin Huairu's belly.
As for Huaihua, there's already a little girl named Huaihua in the yard.
“Yes, we’re all neighbors in the same courtyard, let’s go to pay our respects together tomorrow morning,” Yan Bugui said.
Although the Jia family didn't have a good reputation or connections in the courtyard, people in the courtyard would still come to help at this time.
Otherwise, given the Jia family's circumstances, let alone holding a funeral, they would have a hard time even burying Jia Dongxu properly.
"Hmm, either way is fine with me," Chen Jun replied casually, then pushed his bicycle back to the backyard.
He didn't care at all whether Jia Dongxu lived or died; the only thing he needed to be careful about was preventing Jia Zhangshi from causing trouble over the house.
But the house has already been transferred, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be kicked out.
