Qin Huairu issued an ultimatum to Jia Zhangshi and her son. Jia Dongxu realized that continuing the commotion would not win back his wife and children, so he silently nodded in agreement.
But Jia Zhangshi sat on the ground again and threw a tantrum, yelling, "Help! The police are beating people and bullying people!"
This is outrageous! Those heartless bastards are trying to tear our Jia family apart! You're all black-hearted, rotten-hearted, may your sons be born without an anus…
"Mrs. Jia, if you keep making a scene, the police will arrest you and your son and take you to the police station for prosecution. Are you still not getting up? Is this reasonable?" Director Wang angrily rebuked her. What a shrew.
Seeing Qi Heng remove the handcuffs from his waist, Madam Jia quickly scrambled to her feet and cried, "Waaah, our Jia family has raised such a big grandson and he's gone! It's outrageous!"
"Jia Zhangshi, are you done yet? If you really want to go to jail, leave now!" Director Wang was completely enraged by her and grabbed Jia Zhangshi's arm, pulling her out.
Jia Zhangshi retreated desperately, which caused everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter: "Haha, Jia Zhangshi's tantrums and rolling around on the ground have failed."
"Exactly! She's so shameless and brazen, does she really think that no one in the courtyard can handle her?" Sha Zhu said disdainfully, not wanting to miss out on making things worse.
The most hateful person in the courtyard is Jia Zhangshi.
He's disliked by everyone; these days, everyone's kicking him when he's down.
Yi Zhonghai seized the opportunity to suggest: "Director Wang, Jia Zhangshi's staying in the courtyard is corrupting the socialist atmosphere and affecting the healthy growth of the children. I propose that she be sent back to the countryside..."
"No, no! I will obey the arrangements of the neighborhood committee and the police. Please don't send me to the countryside! Please don't..." Jia Zhangshi panicked completely.
When they moved to the city, they embezzled the food rations and other welfare benefits allocated to them by the rural areas and did not transfer their household registration to non-agricultural status.
Now that the country is experiencing a famine, many people are desperately trying to move to the cities to get access to government-subsidized grain, so the government has abolished the non-agricultural household registration system.
People whose household registration is not in the city, like Jia Zhangshi who are under sixty years old, should, in principle, return to the countryside to farm.
The idea that labor is glorious is not just an empty phrase.
For someone like Jia Zhangshi who is lazy and unwilling to work, the neighborhood committee's decision to send her to the countryside is in accordance with national policy, and Jia Zhangshi must comply.
Yi Zhonghai chased her away for the sake of the healthy growth of his unborn child, and also to avenge Jia Dongxu's kick that severed his manhood.
In a panic, Jia Dongxu stepped forward to plead for her: "Director Wang, my mother is not yet sixty years old, but she is ill and needs to rest."
Besides, my mother is alone at home in the countryside. What if she falls ill?
Director Wang, we can't let my mother die of illness in the countryside!
"Alright, our subdistrict office serves the people. We understand that Ms. Jia is ill and needs to rest, so we can let her stay in the courtyard to recuperate."
But if Jia Zhangshi throws a tantrum in the courtyard and causes trouble, I will definitely send you to the countryside. You better remember that! Director Wang just wanted to calm things down as soon as possible, otherwise it would be past midnight.
Regarding the Jia family's situation, the real issue is whether it will affect the workers in the yard's ability to start work tomorrow.
Jia Zhangshi nodded repeatedly and assured him, "Director Wang, don't worry, I'll change, I won't cause any more trouble, and I'll follow your arrangements!"
"Alright, since you've decided to settle this privately, follow the arrangements made by the neighborhood committee."
To avoid further trouble due to disagreements, I propose a private settlement; you can choose to decide.
I and Officer Xiao Qi will testify that we will resolve your family's problems once and for all.
"You don't have any objections, do you?" Director Wang was worried that if they couldn't reach a private settlement, it would be too outrageous for them to cause trouble again.
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi and her son, as well as Qin Huairu, nodded in agreement, Qi Heng said, "Alright, I will be the witness. Director Wang will take charge of the Jia family's divorce, division of assets, and child custody issues."
Director Wang, let's begin!
"Alright, I won't waste any more words."
Qin Huairu filed for divorce and custody of her child after being subjected to inhumane treatment, bullying, and verbal abuse by her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, and husband, Jia Dongxu.
With the premise that the child Banggeng agrees to Qin Huairu's custody, the following agreement is made.
First, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu divorced, and each party owns half of their property.
Secondly, Qin Huairu raises the child, and Jia Dongxu, as the child's father, provides ten yuan per month for living expenses.
Third, the Jia family has a job at the steel rolling mill, which is now owned by Jia Dongxu.
Since Qin Huairu has no income and raising her child is a problem, Jia Dongxu should provide her with financial compensation.
"These are the three points. You must state your decision and agree not to cause trouble afterward. Let's begin!" The divorce property division agreement proposed by Director Wang shocked everyone in the hospital.
Fearing that Qin Huairu would make an exorbitant demand, Jia Zhangshi preemptively said, "I have no objection to Banggeng living with Qin Huairu, but we'll compensate her thirty or twenty yuan..."
"One thousand, I'll leave the Jia family with the money, or you and your son can leave with the money." Qin Huairu didn't want to waste time arguing with Jia Zhangshi, a greedy person who only takes and never gives back, so she delivered shocking news right away.
Can the Jia family come up with a thousand yuan?
Good heavens, the Jia family is so rich, yet they shamelessly ask the people in the courtyard for donations. They're really despicable.
People in the courtyard started talking and hurling insults.
Jia Dongxu was surprised. Had his mother hidden so much money in secret?
Seeing that she was about to be exposed, Jia Zhangshi cried to Director Wang, "Waaah, Director Wang, I'm sick and need money to treat my illness!"
Please have pity on my child and me, and arrange a house for us..."
“Mrs. Jia, housing is already tight. Your family doesn’t qualify for two apartments. Find a solution yourself!” Director Wang wasn’t going to tolerate her. Many people need housing but don’t have a place to settle down.
This Jia Zhangshi wants to take advantage of the subdistrict office; she's really delusional.
Jia Dongxu whispered in Jia Zhangshi's ear: "Mom, give Qin Huairu, that stinking bitch, to get out of the house with her stick."
Banggeng will come back after suffering some hardships outside.
"And as for Qin Huairu getting the money, I'll snatch it from her in a heartbeat and make her beg me to spare her life..."
"Ah, are you sure we can get the money back?" Jia Zhangshi trembled with heartache; that was all her retirement money!
What if we can't get it back?
Little did he know that Jia Dongxu had his eye on this money and planned to steal it to gamble away his losses, so that he could buy women and children without any trouble.
A slut I'm tired of, get out if you want.
Jia Dongxu nodded seriously and said, "Mom, don't worry, I mean what I say, I won't make a mistake."
"Alright then." Jia Zhangshi agreed and went home to get the money. The people in the courtyard were in an uproar: "Damn, is the Jia family that rich?"
"Damn the Jia family! They always make us give them money and donations, and it all turns into their private savings! They should pay us back!" The people in the courtyard started making a fuss.
Director Wang said angrily, "Alright, what are you all making a fuss about?"
Whoever organized the haphazard donations within the compound will be held liable for compensation. That's settled; no more trouble is allowed.
"Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, pay up..." People from the courtyard flocked to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong to demand compensation.
This scene made Zheng Ya seem thoughtful. It seemed that the effect of the plan to help the Jia family was not ideal. Qin Huairu did not cause any serious damage to the Jia family!
