This was the first time Jia Zhangshi had been beaten like this in the courtyard. The second aunt's slaps to Jia Zhangshi's face showed no mercy, and almost every slap was delivered with all her strength.
That's why, before the second aunt had even finished beating her, Jia Zhangshi's face swelled up at a visible speed.
"Ah... Help me..."
"Please, forgive me! I was wrong, I'll never do it again, this has nothing to do with your family!"
"Waaaaah... Please, this has nothing to do with your family!"
At this point, Jia Zhangshi dared not say that she was in this state because of Liu Haizhong. She felt that if she continued to say it, her second aunt might really beat her to death.
In the end, it's unclear whether it was Jia Zhangshi's pleas for mercy that worked, or whether the second aunt simply got tired of beating her.
Only after the second aunt stopped did the onlookers around the courtyard dare to step forward and pull her off Jia Zhangshi.
"Second Aunt, forget it, forget it, why are you arguing with Jia Zhangshi?"
After Haiyong's wife pulled the second aunt away, she tried to persuade her.
The second aunt was both angry and exhausted from beating Jia Zhangshi. She was panting heavily as she said to the crowd who had pulled her away, "Damn it, she dares to blame this kind of thing on our family. It would be strange if I didn't teach her a lesson! If I wasn't afraid of being arrested, I would have killed Jia Zhangshi today!"
"It's one thing for you to extort other people, but now you dare to try and take advantage of our family! Let me tell you, I'd be willing to kill you today!"
The second aunt probably felt that she hadn't gotten enough of a beating, and after being pulled away, she regained some strength and was eager to go forward and cause more trouble for Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi was sitting on the ground crying. She had her own way of dealing with it. Even though she had never beaten her second aunt so badly, she could still sit in the middle of the yard and cry. There were always people who felt sorry for her or thought she had been wronged.
As a result, when Jia Zhangshi saw that her second aunt was about to hit her again, she was terrified and saw her second aunt rushing towards her.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi rolled away like a gourd, and fearing that her second aunt would chase after her, she turned around and crawled away as far as she could.
Seeing this, the people in the compound quickly stopped the second aunt. No matter what, they couldn't let the second aunt beat Jia Zhangshi forever.
When the crowd stopped her, Aunt Er stopped chasing after them and started cursing at Jia Zhangshi.
"Jia Zhangshi, let me tell you, you should thank everyone this time, otherwise I would have given you a good beating!"
"You've got some nerve! You dare pull this on me? You deserved to have your arm broken! What does this have to do with my family? If you dare say that again, nobody can stop you!"
Jia Zhangshi ran away like a rolling gourd, mainly because she was terrified of being beaten by her second aunt. She had only wanted to get some benefits by talking, but now that she saw her second aunt was really beating her to death, Jia Zhangshi was genuinely scared.
"It's not your fault! It's not your fault!"
"This is all the factory's fault! I'll go talk to the factory later!" Jia Zhangshi explained in a flustered manner, afraid that her second aunt might beat her again in a fit of anger.
The best way to deal with Jia Zhangshi is to make her afraid. Just like now, the second aunt has slapped Jia Zhangshi's face so hard it's swollen, and Jia Zhangshi is covering her face with a wronged expression.
When Aunt Er heard what Jia Zhangshi said, she slowly broke free from the crowd's pull and stood back next to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong couldn't be more satisfied with Second Aunt's actions. You see, Liu Haizhong was also annoyed by Jia Zhangshi to no end, and this time Second Aunt really helped him get revenge.
"snort!"
"I told you long ago, this is your own fault. You lost your arm because of your own negligence. It has nothing to do with me!" Liu Haizhong saw that Jia Zhangshi had been subdued, and at this moment he also stood up and scolded Jia Zhangshi. Otherwise, even if Liu Haizhong was a little afraid of Jia Zhangshi, he would have been fine.
Like everyone else in the compound, they were all afraid that Jia Zhangshi would come to their homes and cause trouble.
However, Liu Haizhong was quite satisfied this time, mainly because he saw through Jia Zhangshi's bluster and weakness. He felt that if he had known Jia Zhangshi's character earlier, he would have dealt with her much earlier.
"Yes, yes, I understand!"
Jia Zhangshi was so frightened by her second aunt's beatings that she didn't dare to argue with Liu Haizhong and just obediently nodded in agreement.
"Let me tell you, my wife can beat you up today, but if you dare to cause trouble in the yard again, I'll have her teach you a lesson!"
"From today onwards, Jia Zhangshi, you better behave yourself! Otherwise... humph! Just you wait!"
When Liu Haizhong saw that Jia Zhangshi was terrified by his wife, his mind immediately started working. He could take this opportunity to establish his authority and make everyone in the compound afraid of him.
Moreover, Liu Haizhong felt that he was now a big shot and absolutely could not let Jia Zhangshi cause trouble for him here. If she did, he would be fired by Director Wang sooner or later.
Jia Zhangshi remained silent, but she also dared not utter any words of resistance.
Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong assumed that Jia Zhangshi had understood him, and that he had finally subdued one of the troublemakers in the compound.
Just as Liu Haizhong was feeling smug, Yi Zhonghai suddenly popped out from the window and said loudly to Liu Haizhong, "Alright, Lao Liu, why are you arguing with Jia Zhangshi?"
“She’s just a clueless person. Look at you, you even let your wife beat her up! Sigh! What are you saying!” Yi Zhonghai said to Liu Haizhong with a dramatic sigh.
When Liu Haizhong heard Yi Zhonghai suddenly speak, he had a bad feeling. He thought that Yi Zhonghai was speaking now to refute him.
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Liu Haizhong felt that it was exactly as he expected. Normally, he would have let it go, but this time Liu Haizhong chuckled. He had come up with a solution this time.
Liu Haizhong, with a stern face, reprimanded Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, I'm the boss in this yard now! Director Wang said I'll deal with anyone who causes trouble! Do you have a problem with what Director Wang said?"
