Old Mrs. Qin was busy all morning, but she got angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Not only did she offend the people in the courtyard, but she also failed to find her own thermos.
After much deliberation at home, Old Mrs. Qin decided to build good relationships with everyone in the courtyard first.
In the afternoon, when people from several nearby courtyards gathered outside the courtyard to chat, Old Lady Qin also went over.
Old lady Qin went through a lot of trouble with the donation issue last night, and everyone was quite satisfied. So when Old lady Qin came over, some people took the initiative to say hello, except for the few families that were offended by Old lady Qin, of course, so Old lady Qin just integrated into the group.
"Oh, I don't know which damned guy stole our things, forcing me to ask my son to buy them again. These things are so hard to get now." Old Mrs. Qin became familiar with everyone and began to make indirect accusations.
Old Lady Qin was cursing to everyone here to her heart's content, but Jia Zhang was upset. However, she couldn't speak up to defend herself. Since the two of them had a fight yesterday, there must have been people who suspected that it was the Jia family's doing. If Jia Zhang jumped out now, it would undoubtedly confirm the truth for her family.
"Damn it!" Jia Zhang also cursed softly in the crowd.
I didn’t expect that Old Lady Qin had such good hearing and could hear everything clearly.
"Isn't this Jia Zhang? What's the matter? Are you also helping that man who stole things and will exterminate my descendants?" Old Mrs. Qin spoke in a sarcastic tone, and there was some implication about Jia Zhang's words.
Jia Zhang certainly couldn't say anything at this time, so she could only say awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I don't know who did it, probably someone from outside!"
Hearing what Jia Zhang said, Old Lady Qin said more directly: "That's right, the person who stole my thermos will have his son die first, and then his grandson!"
Although Old Lady Qin had just arrived at the compound, she had heard from others that the son of the Jia family had died just a few days ago, so she said this just to deliberately anger Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang was so angry that her teeth were creaking. She said with a fake smile, "Yes, we don't even know who will lose their son or grandson!"
Everyone thought the conversation between the two was normal at first, but the more they listened, the more something seemed wrong. There was a lot of tension between the two. From what Old Lady Qin said, it seemed that the thing was stolen by the Jia family.
Besides, the curse was too harsh. The man's son just died, and now he is cursing his grandson to die.
There was a kind-hearted person nearby who didn't want to see the two old ladies fighting, so he stood between them and separated them.
Now the two of them just went with the flow and didn't mention the matter of stealing the thermos from Old Lady Qin's house anymore.
In one afternoon, Old Lady Qin achieved her goal and became familiar with several old ladies in the courtyard. Don't be fooled by her fat face and fierce look, she is still quite good at attracting people.
Looking at the sun, the men in the family should be back from get off work, so they all went home to prepare dinner.
Old Mrs. Qin went back satisfied, but Mrs. Jia Zhang went back home with a lot of anger, and she still had a gloomy face when she got home.
"What the hell do you have? You just rely on your stupid son!" After returning home, Jia Zhang cursed at home.
Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang's expression and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"What's the matter? That old man named Qin in the front yard has been scolding me outside for the whole afternoon, calling me a jerk!" Jia Zhang sat on the head of the kang angrily.
Qin Huairu thought to herself, who asked you to take someone else's kettle? If someone stole our things, it would be strange if you didn't cause chaos in the compound.
However, Qin Huairu did not say anything and went to prepare dinner quietly.
After dinner was served on the table, Qin Huairu habitually took Jia Dongxu's bowl and chopsticks, which made her unable to eat even two bites of food. After all, Jia Dongxu was the pillar of the family.
As for Jia Zhang, she turned her grief and anger into food intake and ate no less.
"Grandma, we'll deal with her next time!" Banggeng continued to cheer for Jia Zhang and was not affected at all by whether Jia Dongxu had it or not.
"My dear grandson, yes, we also have to deal with that old lady who supports the man!" Jia Zhang said after taking a mouthful of rice.
But the next day, what Jia Zhang didn't expect was that Old Mrs. Qin had not forgotten what happened yesterday.
In the afternoon, the old ladies in the compound have time to chat.
"Oh, I don't know if anyone among the thieves who stole my thermos died? If someone did, I would have to buy two strings of firecrackers to celebrate." Old Mrs. Qin continued to speak sarcastically.
Old Lady Qin didn't say anything earlier or later, but just when Jia Zhang came and had just said a few words, she brought up the matter of the thermos being lost in her house again.
Jia Zhang felt uncomfortable hearing this, but there was nothing she could do but curse Old Madam Qin in her heart.
Everyone realized that Old Lady Qin was after Jia Zhang, but in this matter, Jia Zhang was indeed quite suspicious.
On the third day, the same thing happened. Old Mrs. Qin went out early and waited for Jia Zhang to come over and bring up the matter of her family's thermos.
On the fourth day, Old Lady Qin was still the same.
On the fifth day, Jia Zhang simply did not go out and stayed at home. She really didn't want to be scolded again, so she decided to wait a few days.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang did not go out today. In the evening, Yi Zhonghai and his wife came.
"Sister-in-law, let me ask you, did you take the thermos from Old Lady Qin's house?" Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang were not polite at all.
Jia Zhang didn't want to admit it at first: "I didn't take anything from their house!"
But this is not something she can deny just because she wants to.
"You don't have to tell me all that. It was Dongxu who asked me to pay for the two thermoses!" Yi Zhonghai said disdainfully.
Jia Zhang immediately jumped up and said, "I asked Dongxu to return the money to you!"
Yi Zhonghai said with an unhappy look on his face: "I'm not here to ask for money, I'm here to ask about this matter. Although Mrs. Qin didn't say it explicitly, everyone has been saying recently that you took it."
Now Jia Zhang sat on the kang in silence. It was okay to deny it to others, but it wouldn't work with Yi Zhonghai.
Qin Huairu quickly came out to smooth things over: "Uncle, it was Banggeng who took it back secretly. I wanted to return it the next day, but Old Lady Qin started scolding me."
"Forget it, he's taken it. Just keep a close eye on Bang Geng and don't let him go out and talk nonsense. I'll ask your aunt to help you guys out these two days. Don't do such things next time. It's embarrassing. Tell me, your family needs those two thermoses." Yi Zhonghai scolded with a stern face.
"Yes, yes, I will definitely keep an eye on Bang Geng and stop him from getting into trouble!" Qin Huairu responded repeatedly.
"I'm back just to give you some advice. Your mother doesn't know how to do things properly. As her daughter-in-law, you have to persuade her well." After saying this, Yi Zhonghai left the Jia family.
The only purpose of Yi Zhonghai coming here was to get closer to Qin Huairu and let her know that he was on her side.
