Everyone saw that Jia Zhangshi, that troublemaker, had already entered the house, but they didn't leave. After so long, everyone was well aware of the Jia family's situation.
It was Jia Zhangshi who insisted on going to Wang San's house, and Qin Huairu had already told everyone in the compound about it, so everyone in the compound knew that this matter was not over yet.
So even though everyone saw Wang San enter the house, they still lingered in the middle of the courtyard, wanting to see how things would develop next.
Jia Zhangshi returned to her home as if nothing had happened. As soon as she entered the house, she sat on the bed like a lord and called out to Qin Huairu, "Is the food ready yet?"
"Qin Huairu, you're really something! Didn't you see me getting beaten up outside? How could you stay inside pretending you didn't see it?"
After asking when she would be able to eat, Jia Zhangshi immediately began to question Qin Huairu.
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, Qin Huairu pretended to have just learned of the matter, stopped what she was doing, and asked, "Huh? Mom? Who did you fight with again?"
In fact, Qin Huairu was exactly as Jia Zhangshi described. He deliberately ignored Jia Zhangshi, because he had just started to get by, and then Jia Zhangshi came back to cause trouble again. However, he couldn't really ignore Jia Zhangshi.
So Qin Huairu's method was to pretend to be deaf and dumb. If you get beaten outside, so be it. I'll just pretend I don't see it. Anyway, no one knows that I'm saying this.
Qin Huairu pretended that she had just noticed Jia Zhangshi's miserable appearance and said, "Oh my god! What happened to you?"
"What did you do? This is too much... Who did this?"
Qin Huairu's surprise wasn't entirely feigned; she simply hadn't expected Jia Zhangshi to be beaten so badly outside, her face swollen. If she had to compare it to Sha Zhu, she wasn't much better off.
Madam Jia Zhang cursed and said, "Who else could it be? That bastard Liu Haizhong's wife! That bastard never does anything good!"
"Tell me, isn't that bastard a terrible person? How could he treat me so cruelly!"
As she continued cursing, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but touch her face.
"Ouch... It hurts so much... You bastard, you're not even human!" Jia Zhangshi touched herself and broke out in a sweat from the pain, continuing to curse her second aunt for being too ruthless.
Qin Huairu pretended to be shocked and continued to ask, "Why? This second aunt is really a jerk! You don't even have an arm anymore, and she's still fighting with you?"
At this point, Jia Zhangshi finally showed a rare hint of being in the wrong. Strictly speaking, Jia Zhangshi certainly knew that she was in the wrong.
However, Jia Zhangshi would never admit her mistake to Qin Huairu. Instead, she continued to curse, "Damn it, is there a single good person in their family! If there were any good people in their family, they certainly wouldn't bully me like this!"
Madam Jia started cursing and swearing. She felt that she had gotten herself into this mess because of Liu Haizhong; otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
Jia Zhangshi even thought that if Liu Haizhong hadn't done what he wanted for her, she might not have gone to work, and in that case, she wouldn't have lost her arm.
Qin Huairu remained silent. Even though she hadn't been outside, she could clearly tell that Jia Zhangshi had brought this upon herself.
After cursing for a while, seeing that Qin Huairu was ignoring her, Jia Zhangshi waved her hand impatiently and said to Qin Huairu, "Alright, alright, you'd better go and cook for me!"
Qin Huairu was more than happy that Jia Zhangshi ignored her, so she quickly left the room to continue cooking for Jia Zhangshi.
As for Wang San, who was also in the room, Jia Zhangshi didn't want to talk to him at all. Of course, Wang San didn't want to talk to Jia Zhangshi either; he was quite annoyed by her.
Wang San sat to the side, not even glancing at Jia Zhangshi. He found a book somewhere and was staring at it intently.
Jia Zhangshi was bored in the room. She turned her head and saw Wang San reading a book. A look of disdain appeared on her face. She thought Wang San was just putting on an act.
Originally, the Jia family didn't own a single book. Perhaps influenced by Jia Zhangshi, the Jia family members all thought that being uneducated was a good thing.
Even the matter of sending Banggeng to school was only because all the other children in the compound were going to school. As for how well Banggeng was doing in school or whether he did his homework at home, Jia Zhangshi didn't care. Even Qin Huairu was influenced by this and didn't care much about Banggeng's studies.
Qin Huairu and others felt that at worst, Banggeng could just take over the job at the factory, and whether he studied or not was no big deal.
This was also influenced by Yan Fugui. They felt that although Yan Fugui was an educated person in the compound, his life seemed to have made him useless.
Although Jia Zhangshi didn't think much of Wang San, she wasn't too afraid to provoke him, probably because she had just been beaten in the courtyard.
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi had no intention of provoking him, Wang San naturally didn't bother to greet her.
In no time, Qin Huairu had prepared the food and brought it to the table. Everyone, including Banggeng, sat down at the table.
Madam Jia sat down at the dining table, picked up her chopsticks, and gestured around the table.
"Smack!"
Jia Zhangshi slammed the chopsticks onto the table, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in the family.
Qin Huairu pretended not to see that Jia Zhangshi was angry and urged her, "Mom, hurry up and eat! What are you doing here?"
"Eat, eat, what are you eating!"
"Now that I'm back, all you do is prepare something nice? This food is worse than what I ate in the hospital!" Jia Zhangshi shouted angrily at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu said with a troubled expression, "Mom, of course our food can't compare to what the hospital provides. Think about it, we only have a limited ration, and we usually eat the same things!"
“Who wouldn’t want to eat this? But isn’t this what we usually eat?” Qin Huairu continued.
With a gloomy face, Jia Zhangshi questioned, "Is this what you usually eat? I don't believe it!!!"
