When Yi Zhonghai saw that Liu Haizhong had brought up Director Wang, his imposing manner involuntarily weakened a bit, but he still stubbornly said, "Then you shouldn't have treated Jia Zhangshi like that!"
No sooner had Yi Zhonghai finished speaking than the second aunt jumped out again, pointing at Yi Zhonghai and shouting, "Yi Zhonghai, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering. Would you be happy if the blame for Jia Zhangshi's broken arm fell on your family?"
"Hmph! You make it sound so easy!" Aunt Er said to Yi Zhonghai with great disdain.
If Liu Haizhong did something to him, Yi Zhonghai might have some other opinions. If he was initially looked down upon by the second aunt, Yi Zhonghai would be speechless.
Auntie Er turned to look at Liu Haizhong, somewhat worried that he wouldn't gain anything if he argued with Yi Zhonghai again. So Auntie Er simply said to Liu Haizhong, "Let's go home! What's the point of talking to him!"
"If anyone dares to mess with our family in the future, I'll kill them!" After saying this, the second aunt pulled Liu Haizhong away from the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong also showed no intention of staying. His family had already gained a great advantage today, so he should know when to stop and go home as soon as possible!
After Liu Haizhong was pulled away from the courtyard by the second aunt, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and said to the first aunt, "Go and see Jia's sister-in-law!"
Yi Zhonghai didn't really want to get involved in Jia Zhangshi's affairs, but the main reason he intervened was because he felt a sense of kinship with her.
He saw that Jia Zhangshi's son was dead and her daughter-in-law had remarried, leaving Jia Zhangshi a truly widowed old woman. After she became like this, she was beaten by the second aunt.
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, if Jia Dongxu were alive, no matter how useless Jia Dongxu was, Second Aunt wouldn't dare to openly lay a hand on Jia Zhangshi. It's just that no one would stand up for Jia Zhangshi if she was beaten.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi reminded him of his own future. Right now, no one dares to mess with him, but what if he ends up like that one day? Will he suffer the same fate?
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai opened the window and spoke on behalf of Jia Zhangshi, and asked an old woman to go and check on Jia Zhangshi's condition.
Meanwhile, on this side, Jia Zhangshi saw that Liu Haizhong had left and that Yi Zhonghai had spoken up for her. When an older woman came over to check on the situation...
Jia Zhangshi immediately burst into tears.
"Ah...ah...this is too much...this is too much! This is so unfair, they won't even let us speak now!"
"If it weren't for his bangs not catching me, would I have ended up like this?"
"Waaaaah... Now look what's happened! Now I've made him act like a king. He doesn't care about me anymore, but I never thought he'd bully me like this!"
How could Jia Zhangshi be beaten so quietly? She didn't make a sound just now only because Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt were still there. Now that Second Aunt and the other woman are gone, of course Jia Zhangshi is going to howl for a while.
When the older woman saw Jia Zhangshi crying again, she felt helpless, but she still went forward to help Jia Zhangshi up. She couldn't just keep watching Jia Zhangshi roll on the ground.
"Sister-in-law, get up! Get up quickly! Don't sit on the floor!"
"Ah...they're bullying us so much!!!" When Jia Zhangshi saw the old woman coming over, she screamed even louder.
The older woman was getting a little angry, so she said to Jia Zhangshi, "Alright, get up now, what are you making a scene for! If you keep going like this, I won't take care of you anymore!"
Upon hearing that the older woman was also abandoning her, Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped crying and stood up with the older woman's help.
"Alright, stop crying. Why didn't you say anything before you were being discharged from the hospital?"
"And what are your plans for the future? You can't just leave it like this, can you?" To stop Jia Zhangshi from crying, the older woman simply asked her.
When Jia Zhangshi heard the old woman asking this question, everyone in the courtyard perked up their ears. Of course, Jia Zhangshi couldn't say that she had been kicked out by the steel mill and the hospital together.
That would be even more embarrassing, so Jia Zhangshi said with feigned disdain, "I've had enough of lying in the hospital, so I came out! Besides, I'm all better now. Look how much weight I've gained from being in the hospital for so long."
When the older woman heard what Jia Zhangshi said, she really looked Jia Zhangshi up and down. She had indeed gained a lot of weight, much more than when she was at her heaviest. It seemed that the weight she had lost in her arms had gone to her body.
"As for the future, I'll go to work tomorrow!"
"The factory has done so much to me, they still have to support me! They said they'd give me a job where I don't have to do any work! They said I can just sit around all day!"
Jia Zhangshi said with great pride.
Upon hearing this, the older woman felt that Jia Zhangshi had actually turned misfortune into blessing. If Jia Zhangshi had been allowed to work properly, she might have caused some trouble.
Some older women even thought that Jia Zhangshi might not be able to stay at the factory and would be fired. In that case, Jia Zhangshi would really starve to death, since Qin Huairu had already remarried and would no longer need to take care of Jia Zhangshi.
The old woman genuinely felt that this was the best arrangement for Jia Zhangshi, at least she wouldn't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore.
"Yes, yes, this is good. Now that the factory has arranged everything for you, you shouldn't make a fuss anymore. Isn't this a good thing? You won't have to worry about food and drink anymore!" An older woman earnestly advised Jia Zhangshi.
If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai earning money in the family, even this old lady would be envious of Jia Zhangshi's treatment.
Everyone in the compound thought the same way. Anyway, Jia Zhangshi was quite old, so losing an arm in exchange for a job wasn't a bad deal.
"In that case, you should go home right away! Don't cause any more trouble here, okay?" an older woman asked Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi also felt that she had been beaten and wouldn't be able to make a fuss with Liu Haizhong. Since the old lady had advised her to go home, Jia Zhangshi nodded and said, "Hmph, this matter between me and Liu Haizhong is not over!"
However, the older woman could tell that Jia Zhangshi's words lacked confidence, and sure enough, Jia Zhangshi continued, "Let's not stoop to his level for now! I'm going home!"
After saying that, Jia Zhangshi stepped into the house.
"Why!"
An older woman behind her wanted to call out to Jia Zhangshi, reminding her that she had already moved with Wang San and was now going back.
Before she could finish speaking, Jia Zhangshi went inside, leaving the old woman with no choice but to swallow her words.
