Around seven o'clock, Jia Zhangshi returned carrying a stick.
Upon seeing this, the third aunt rushed back into the house to find the third uncle: "Honey, Jia Zhangshi is back, carrying a stick as thick as a rolling pin!"
"Let's go to the backyard!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Uncle Yan Bugui called out to Yan Jiecheng and went straight out.
The news that Banggeng had been bitten by a turtle had already spread throughout the courtyard. Knowing Jia Zhangshi's personality, she would definitely go and cause trouble for Chen Jun.
So everyone in the courtyard was looking forward to the excitement tonight.
By the time Yan Bugui arrived at the backyard, Jia Zhangshi had already started shouting with her hands on her hips.
"You damned Chen Jun, get out here right now!"
"You've ruined my precious grandson like this, and you can still eat!"
Um?
After Jia Zhangshi's reminder, many people realized that the fragrance emanating from the backyard was rather unreasonable.
What delicious dish did you stew to make that rich, savory sauce?
Soon, Chen Jun, who had heard the commotion, came out of the house carrying a bowl.
The bowl contained freshly cooked "Farewell My Concubine" chicken, and the person in the hand held a greasy steamed bun with vegetables. The two together were a perfect match.
Everyone present couldn't help but glance at Chen Jun's bowl.
Good heavens!
A huge bowl full of meat, but not a single vegetable in sight.
That's great!
The food at Chen Jun's house is really good.
These days, when people spend money to buy meat, they have to stew it with vegetables so that it can last for several days. No one would be as willing to spend money as Chen Jun.
Even the bowl of meat, let alone the oily steamed bun with vegetables, was a rare treat.
A bite of meat and a bite of vegetable bun—that's more comfortable than being a god in heaven!
"What are you yelling about?"
Chen Jun replied with dissatisfaction, then picked up a piece of chicken from the bowl and put it in his mouth.
This scene made Jia Zhangshi hungry!
She had just returned from the hospital and hadn't even had a chance to eat before coming to cause trouble. Now, seeing Chen Jun eating meat, her stomach immediately started growling.
"Gurgle~ gurgle~~"
The sound coming from her belly made Jia Zhangshi blush!
They're probably just trying to cause trouble for Chen Jun right now; the sound of hunger pangs is really ruining the atmosphere!
So, filled with shame and anger, Jia Zhangshi raised her stick and started cursing at Chen Jun.
"You damned devil! You've got my precious grandson in the hospital, and you still have the nerve to cook meat at home!"
Have you lost your conscience?
Chen Jun glanced at Jia Zhangshi, calmly swallowed the meat, and then replied, "Why are you talking nonsense, you old dog? I went to work at the factory today. How could I have time to harm your precious grandson?"
"You must provide evidence when you do something, otherwise it's slander!"
After saying that, he took another bite of the oily vegetable bun.
Mmm, it's a perfect match! A bite of chicken and a bite of cornbread, it's so damn delicious.
"It's because of those turtles you caught that my grandson was bitten and ended up in the hospital. He only woke up this afternoon. If you have any conscience at all, go to the hospital to see my precious grandson, pay the medical bills, and even compensate him!"
Jia Zhangshi shouted loudly, occasionally picking up a stick, as if she would fight desperately if Chen Jun didn't agree.
"What exactly happened? What did that kid Banggeng do this time?" There were still a few people who didn't know the situation.
"Didn't you hear? That kid from the Jia family got bitten by a turtle and had to go to the hospital, and he even had surgery."
"What the hell? He got bitten by a turtle and ended up in the hospital? This kid is too precious. He doesn't need to go to the hospital for such a small wound." The man sneered disdainfully, "Back when I was carrying heavy loads, I got a long cut on my leg from a wire, and I just wiped some dust on it and kept working."
"They're different. The Jia family's grandson and you weren't injured in the same place!"
"What's the difference? We're all just flesh on our bodies!"
"Ugh, I can't be bothered to explain, it's just different!"
Hearing the whispers around her, Jia Zhangshi pouted in dissatisfaction.
Why isn't a single one of these onlookers speaking up for her? Why are you all tearing at her wound? Come on, join me and point at Chen Jun!
Pooh!
They're all heartless!
At this point, Jia Zhangshi was unaware of how badly her reputation had become.
Regardless of whose fault it was, even if it was Chen Jun's fault, no one was willing to help Jia Zhangshi.
There was nothing they could do; she had caused so much trouble before that she had offended almost everyone in the courtyard.
"Oh, so you're here to scam me?"
Chen Jun grinned and asked, "Then tell me, what caused your grandson's injury, what kind of injury, and how serious it was?"
"Also, tell me again, how did the turtle bite the stalk? It couldn't have flown out and pounced on it, could it?"
From the tone of his voice, it was clear that Chen Jun was making fun of Jia Zhangshi.
If turtles could fly, they wouldn't be staying in the tank anymore.
It was obvious that Chen Jun knew how the stag went to the hospital, and he also knew where the turtle had been bitten.
Ah, it's summer, there aren't any clothes to separate us.
This wasn't even a waste; it just means Jia Dongxu must have been banging his head against the ground so hard he almost broke it!
"Chen Jun, you really have no conscience! My precious grandson is in such a state, and you can still laugh!" Knowing she was in the wrong, Jia Zhangshi tried to morally blackmail Chen Jun.
"Don't change the subject. Tell me how Bang Geng got injured, and where it was injured." After a pause, Chen Jun added, "How could a small turtle possibly bite someone and send them to the hospital!"
After saying this, Chen Jun, without waiting for Jia Zhangshi's reply, picked up a piece of turtle meat from the bowl and put it in his mouth.
Seeing Chen Jun's mouth glistening with oil as he ate, Jia Zhangshi swallowed hard, much to her chagrin.
He was definitely trying to seduce her on purpose!
But Jia Zhangshi didn't want to say where Banggeng had hurt her, in front of so many people.
In fact, Jia Zhangshi had already regretted what she said when she returned to the courtyard during the day.
Losing one of them is not a glorious thing; in the long run, it can affect the entire character's career.
Even if the doctor wasn't lying, missing a part is equivalent to being disabled.
If word gets out, how will we find a wife for Banggeng in the future?
After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhangshi replied, "It was bitten by your turtle. It bit me so hard that blood was gushing out. Luckily, I ran fast enough, otherwise my dear grandson would have been in trouble because of blood loss."
"You not only have to compensate my grandson for this, but you also have to give me a thank-you fee. If it weren't for me, you'd definitely be in jail by now!"
Jia Zhangshi said this as a matter of course.
She felt that this matter wouldn't be over until Chen Jun paid her a thousand or eight hundred yuan in compensation.
Even a thousand or eight hundred wouldn't be enough to compensate for the loss of the stick!
But things are already like this, there's no way to fix it now. All we can do is ask for more money and then use that money to buy a workstation at the factory.
