"What installment plan?"
Jia Zhangshi was taken aback, and subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
After hearing what Old Wang from the front yard said, it seems that the money for the workstation was not paid in full at once, otherwise why would he say that he has never been in arrears?
"The money for the workstations can be paid for in installments!"
Old Wang from the front yard didn't know why Jia Zhangshi would ask this, but in order not to cause Jia Zhangshi any misunderstanding, he told her the whole story.
Upon hearing that the payment for the workstation would be made in twenty-four installments, Jia Zhangshi immediately felt her head spinning.
"You mean, you'll give our family money every month?"
“Yes!” Old Wang from the front yard said, “Every time I get my wages from the factory, I give them to Qin Huairu. I’ve never been late once. I haven’t done anything wrong, have I? Hey, hey, Jia Zhangshi, where are you going?”
Before he could finish speaking, Old Wang from the front yard saw Jia Zhangshi angrily walking into the yard.
Old Wang from the front yard didn't understand what was going on. He was worried that Jia Zhangshi would not abide by the agreement and asked him to pay back the remaining money now.
But it's clear that Jia Zhangshi has more important things to do now.
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was washing rice by the pool, planning to cook some rice porridge for dinner. She would then stir-fry some vegetable leaves when Jia Zhangshi returned, and that would be her dinner.
But just as he finished draining the rice, he saw Jia Zhangshi, who was furious.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Huairu thought that Jia Zhangshi had argued with someone outside, and that she had lost the argument.
Jia Zhangshi walked straight to Qin Huairu's side, then reached out and grabbed Qin Huairu's hair.
"Qin Huairu, you're ruthless!"
"I work hard outside, hauling manure to support the family, while you collect money from selling your workstation every month, and you keep it so well hidden. Have you lost your conscience?"
Jia Zhangshi yelled angrily, grabbing Qin Huairu's hair hard with one hand and slapping Qin Huairu's face repeatedly with the other.
He cursed and swore at Qin Huairu as he hit her, insulting her ancestors for eighteen generations.
Qin Huairu was shocked, realizing that Jia Zhangshi had found out about her stealing the money.
She was indeed in the wrong, so when Jia Zhangshi slapped her across the face, Qin Huairu didn't explain or resist, because she knew that if she resisted, she would be beaten even worse.
"You bitch, you're not going to say a word, are you? Then I'll beat you to death today!"
If Qin Huairu had begged for mercy a few times, Jia Zhangshi would have felt a sense of accomplishment. But after being hit so many times, Qin Huairu remained silent, and Jia Zhangshi felt that Qin Huairu was not convinced!
You disagree?
Then let's fight!
Beat them until they submit!
So Jia Zhangshi changed her method of hitting people, not only slapping them, but also deliberately scratching Qin Huairu's face with her fingernails.
Qin Huairu felt a burning pain on her face and couldn't help but want to raise her head to cover it, but as soon as she raised her arm, Jia Zhangshi pulled her hair hard.
Okay, this time I put all my strength into it and pulled out a small clump of hair.
"Ah!! Help! Help!"
If it were just a slap, Qin Huairu could withstand it, but if Jia Zhangshi continued to hit her, she would definitely be disfigured.
"Help? Let's see who can save you today!"
Madam Jia gritted her teeth in hatred, and her scratching speed increased.
Soon, Qin Huairu's screams echoed throughout the courtyard, alarming many residents.
The first to step forward were Liu Haizhong and his wife. Aunt Er originally wanted to step forward to break up the fight, but Liu Haizhong stopped her.
If I heard correctly, Jia Zhangshi beat Qin Huairu up because of money, and she beat her up so badly that if Second Aunt went over, she wouldn't be able to break up the fight, and she would even get caught in the crossfire.
As for the others, they were just there to watch the show. Whether it was Jia Zhangshi beating Qin Huairu or Qin Huairu beating Jia Zhangshi, it was a matter for the Jia family. If outsiders got involved, they might get into trouble.
Yi Zhonghai watched for a while, and seeing that Liu Haizhong was just watching the fun from the sidelines, he cleared his throat and came out.
"Sister-in-law Jia, what are you doing? Let's talk this out! Stop it now, or you'll beat Qin Huairu to death!"
Yi Zhonghai stepped forward not for Qin Huairu, but to make his presence known to everyone.
Whatever you, Liu Haizhong, are willing to take care of, I, Yi Zhonghai, will take care of.
What you, Liu Haizhong, are unwilling to deal with, I, Yi Zhonghai, will still deal with!
Without comparison, there is no harm; the eyes of the masses are discerning.
"Grandpa, help me!"
Seeing that someone had come to help her, Qin Huairu almost burst into tears.
This time, Jia Zhangshi went mad. She didn't want to teach herself a lesson; she wanted to scratch her face and beat herself to death.
It's just that he secretly took money from her, why did he have to hit her so hard?
And the people in the courtyard, they ran quite fast when they heard the commotion, but not one of them offered to help.
Only Yi Zhonghai was willing to help her!
"Yi Zhonghai, stop meddling in other people's business!"
Jia Zhangshi bared her teeth at Yi Zhonghai and shouted, "That damned Qin Huairu deserves a beating. I'll teach her a lesson today. Yi Zhonghai, if you dare to stop me, you're Qin Huairu's accomplice."
accomplice?
Yi Zhonghai frowned: "Jia Zhangshi, you can't just make things up like that. I don't even know what happened. How did you become an accomplice?"
"Tell me what happened, and we'll all be the judge!"
Being an accomplice is not a good thing.
Yi Zhonghai thought Qin Huairu had done something shady, so he wanted to find out the reason.
"It's all because of money!"
Xu Damao was in the courtyard just now, so he heard it most clearly.
“Jia Dongxu sold his workstation back then, and Lao Wang didn’t have enough money, so Jia Dongxu gave Lao Wang twenty-four installments. Every month when the steel mill paid wages, he would send the installment money.”
"That's right, this damned bastard actually secretly took money without telling me!" Jia Zhangshi said, and then slapped Qin Huairu a few more times.
“I work hard outside, pulling a manure cart to earn money, and all the money I earn goes to my family. To save money on groceries, I have to go to the market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves.”
"But Qin Huairu eats my food and uses my things, yet she secretly saved the money from selling her workstation and didn't spend a single penny at home. Don't you think she deserves to be beaten?"
Jia Zhangshi became increasingly agitated, and after slapping Qin Huairu several times, she sat down on the ground and wailed.
"Dongxu, Lao Jia, come and see! Qin Huairu, that damned woman, is secretly hiding money while making me work as a dung truck driver to support the family. She's utterly heartless!"
After hearing this, the people in the courtyard finally understood what was going on.
So it turns out that Qin Huairu had been keeping the money from selling workstations a secret from Jia Zhangshi all along.
No wonder she could anger Jia Zhangshi so much.
Looking at it this way, Qin Huairu deserved to be beaten, while Jia Zhangshi did nothing wrong in doing so.
