Wu Wei escorted Sha Zhu back to the central courtyard, alarming everyone in the courtyard.
People in the courtyard suspected that Sha Zhu and Wu Wei getting together might be the prelude to solving the case of Zheng Daotong's family being murdered.
This incident occurred after Zheng Ya returned to the compound, forcefully overpowered Yi Zhonghai and others, and obtained compensation from them twice in succession, revealing a sense of crisis.
After all, the day the case was solved was the day the people in the court became accomplices in Yi Zhonghai's murder of Zheng Daotong's family. The truth was revealed to the public, and they lost all face.
Even if they are not taken away by the police and sentenced, they will be punished by the neighborhood committee and the factory, and will be criticized and paraded through the streets by the working class. It may be difficult for them to hold their heads high again.
At worst, they would be ridiculed and ostracized by their neighbors.
How can I endure a life where people gossip about me every day?
As a result, an atmosphere of unease enveloped the people in the courtyard, making it difficult for them to remain calm.
Relatively speaking, the Jia family reacted the most.
Jia Dongxu rushed out the door and angrily ran up to Sha Zhu, shouting, "Sha Zhu, where the hell have you been?"
"Where's the lunchbox? Do you want our family to starve to death?"
"Jia Dongxu, what does it have to do with me if your family starves to death? Get out of my way!" Sha Zhu suddenly realized that Wu Wei had seen through the character of everyone in the courtyard.
Judging from Jia Dongxu's attitude and tone, just as Wu Wei said, she tricked him into doing good deeds and helping the Jia family, only to feed a heartless ingrate.
Jia Dongxu angrily retorted: "Shazhu, what the hell is your attitude?"
At the company-wide meeting, you personally promised to bring leftover food from the cafeteria to help our family.
What, are you going back on your word, you grown men?
With a temper like yours, you'd be a laughingstock if you went out, bringing shame to everyone in our compound..."
"Jia Dongxu, shut the hell up! From now on, I'm not serving you anymore. You can do whatever you want, get out of my way! A good dog doesn't block the way!" Sha Zhu was almost driven mad with anger.
If it weren't for the glimpse of Wu Wei watching the show with a smile on her right rear, Sha Zhu would have already punched Jia Dongxu in the face.
"Fight first, then talk," that was the old style.
But now, assaulting someone is considered illegal by Wu Wei, as she says, and that assaulting someone is illegal and should be punished by law.
Does assaulting someone equate to committing a crime in front of law enforcement officers?
Thinking about these troublesome restrictions, Sha Zhu felt uncomfortable all over, and his square face turned red with frustration.
This angered Jia Dongxu, who shrugged off Sha Zhu and walked to the center of the courtyard, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Come on, everyone in the courtyard, young and old, aunties and grandmas, come out and see Sha Zhu ruining the harmony!"
"Openly resisting the resolutions of the plenary meeting, alienating themselves from the masses, and bullying our Jia family..."
"Hmph, Jia Dongxu, you can shout yourself hoarse today, but I'm not going to serve your Jia family anymore. I'd rather you starve to death than have any more trouble with your father."
"Everyone in the courtyard will bear witness for me. From now on, I, Shazhu, will not give the Jia family a single grain of rice..." Shazhu belatedly realized his mistake.
Even Wu Wei knew that he had been lusting after Qin Huairu's body. If he were to get involved with Qin Huairu again, he would be guilty of being a pervert.
Putting aside the fact that he provided financial assistance to Qin Huairu because she was lusting after him, Sha Zhu didn't treat the Jia family members as human beings at all.
Moreover, Jia Dongxu's behavior is truly ungrateful.
When Jia Dongxu saw that he was completely enraged and would no longer provide assistance to the Jia family, he flew into a rage: "Shazhu, do you want to become a class enemy of the people?"
"Guards! This idiot Zhu is disrupting unity and causing chaos..."
"Shazhu, how could you do this? Do you really want to starve Sister Qin and Banggeng to death? How can you bear it?" Qin Huairu rushed out and cried, looking pitiful and heartbreaking.
To be honest, her pitiful expression captivated the hearts of many men in the courtyard.
That's just how the Jia family is. Jia Dongxu couldn't handle Sha Zhu, so Qin Huairu immediately ran out to play the victim and gain sympathy.
Zheng Ya was sitting at home, sensing that since the heavens had descended to the central courtyard, he had understood the cause and effect of their argument. When he saw that Sha Zhu was distracted and felt pity, he had a thought: make a face.
Making faces is just one example among rural people.
The planned ability consumed both virtue and guilt, causing Qin Huairu's face to change appearance.
"Ah, stay away from me, go away." Sha Zhu suddenly noticed that Qin Huairu's originally charming face had turned into a ghostly scribble, with veins standing on end, and he was so frightened that he hid at home.
The people in the courtyard also noticed that Qin Huairu's face had changed, and everyone exclaimed and backed away: "My God, a ghost!"
"Haha, this is karma! Qin Huairu is possessed by a ghost..." Someone who loves to stir things up exclaimed, and everyone in the courtyard ran to a distance to spy on them.
Even Jia Dongxu ran to a distance, clutching his horrified chest, and roared at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, may you rest in peace now that you're dead."
Don't come out and scare people. You'll scare your son Bang Geng to death. Would you like that?
You should hurry down to the Yellow Springs and report to King Yama...
"Ahhh, it hurts so much, my face..." Qin Huairu belatedly realized something was wrong, and as the pain in her face intensified, she understood everything.
Your face is ruined, so your ability to play the victim is completely destroyed!
Turning into something that's neither human nor ghost, and then trying to gain sympathy from others is just scary, isn't it?
Thinking of these terrible consequences, Qin Huairu covered her face and ran home, scaring Banggeng into crying loudly, "Ahhh, a ghost..."
"Ding-dong, ding-dong," came the sound of a guzheng from the backyard.
The people in the courtyard, who were initially terrified, were gradually brought back to reality by the beautiful melody. They forgot the fear brought by Qin Huairu's ghostly face and all stepped forward to follow the sound.
At this moment, everyone in the courtyard ignored the Jia family's pitiful cries and gathered in the backyard to witness Zheng Ya sitting at the door playing the zither, performing an adapted version of "The Road to Heaven".
The key point is that the guzheng she used was no ordinary instrument.
The guzheng's shell is made of Phoebe zhennan wood, meticulously carved using spatial abilities.
The inner soundboard of the guzheng was carved by Zheng Ya from the outer shell of chicken-blood stone and then inlaid into the outer shell of the golden nanmu guzheng to become the soundboard of the guzheng.
Of course, this is due to the unique nature of Zheng Ya's spatial abilities; he can extract the inner core of any item and also insert an inner core into any item.
The guzheng, combining golden nanmu wood and chicken-blood stone, was thus born.
The guzheng's soaring melodies reach the heavens, its clean tone bringing a sense of boundless clarity and purity to the mind.
The bass notes are so deep and resonant that they create a truly soul-stirring experience.
The music, soothing and uplifting, transports the people in the courtyard to the boundless blue sky, where they seem to forget all their troubles and become so engrossed that they don't want to wake up.
As Zheng Ya plays and sings, her emotions and life experiences gradually blend into this era, finding a sense of stability that belongs to her.
My final resting place is not here, but it has left behind a place for my soul to find solace, and the continuation of life is brewing!
After the piece was finished, Zheng Ya stood up and said to the people in the courtyard, "I hope this song, 'The Road to Heaven,' can bring you beautiful aspirations and inspire you to strive towards the future you envision."
Instead of constantly scheming against each other, plotting against neighbors, and creating noise that affects the healthy development of children in other families, thank you.
