Wang Dabao's words effectively shut down Jia Zhangshi's next words.
Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth, glared at Wang Dabao, and was about to start cursing.
Before he could even utter a word, he saw Wang Dabao's face darken, and he immediately swallowed his curse words, the scene of being slapped hard last time still vivid in his mind.
"Wang Dabao, how could you lie? You were the one who told me that."
Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes shot out a hateful look. "I was feeling sleepy at the time, and you woke me up so I could catch you in the act."
"You're kidding me. If I saw a scene like that, I'd want to watch it with Sha Zhu. Why would I tell you?"
Wang Dabao chuckled, "Think back carefully, did your old Jia appear in your dream? After all, you said you were just dozing off."
When Jia Zhangshi saw that even Wang Dabao, the eyewitness, was denying it, she realized she was now completely isolated and helpless. She immediately lay down on the ground and started rolling around.
"Damn it, Old Jia, take me away right now..."
"Alright, stop howling. Sister-in-law Jia, what evidence do you have to prove that Sha Zhu was peeping at Qin Huairu?"
Liu Haizhong and the others finally understood what had happened. It turned out that Sha Zhu was lusting after Qin Huairu and was caught peeping at her by Jia Zhangshi.
"I am the evidence."
Jia Zhangshi stared intently at Sha Zhu, "That little beast Sha Zhu not only coveted Qin Huairu, but also injured me and broke my back."
Liu Haizhong gave Sha Zhu a sharp look, cleared his throat, and sneered, "Sha Zhu, is what Aunt Jia said true? Did you really hit her?"
"Oh, Uncle, do you really think that's possible?!"
Sha Zhu looked wronged, his chrysanthemum-like face full of wrinkles. "Look at what Aunt Jia has scratched my face like this. I was so busy running away that I didn't dare to fight back or even say anything."
Xu Damao felt his chance had come. He took two steps forward and said, "I saw it. I was smoking in front of the Jia family's house just now, and Sha Zhu did indeed trip Jia Zhangshi."
"Xu Damao, are you asking for a beating?!"
Sha Zhu glared at Xu Damao and wanted to punch him, but then he remembered that his arm was still injured.
Liu Haizhong glanced at Xu Damao with his eyelids: "What you say is not credible."
"Hey, Liu Haizhong, you're something else!"
Xu Damao's eyes widened, and he nodded through gritted teeth, "I'll make a note of this for you, so don't fall into my hands again."
Liu Haizhong ignored Xu Damao, checked the injuries on Shazhu's face, and then looked at Jia Zhangshi.
“Sister-in-law Jia, I think it’s better for everyone to back down a bit. You shouldn’t keep harping on Sha Zhu. It’s normal for Huai Ru to take a look when she’s washing clothes there.”
"Look at how you scratched Sha Zhu's face. You're not entirely wrong either. Sha Zhu is still a child. You went a bit too far."
Last night, Liu Haizhong hit the child too hard and twisted his back. He took the day off from work this morning.
Just then, something happened in the compound, and Yi Zhonghai was not there. Liu Haizhong suddenly felt powerful again. He began to flaunt his official authority as the second eldest uncle, hoping to use his position as the head of the household to smooth things over.
Liu Haizhong, with his hands behind his back, thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of giving orders.
“What do you mean by each taking a step back? What is there for that little beast Sha Zhu to back down from? He was peeping at that vixen Qin Huairu and even injured me. This isn’t over yet. Sha Zhu is going to come with me to the hospital to pay for my back.”
Jia Zhangshi didn't take Liu Haizhong's words seriously at all; in this compound, only Yi Zhonghai could say a few words to her.
"Who are you calling a little beast? I think you're asking for a beating."
The deaf old woman glared at Jia Zhangshi and raised her cane to strike her.
Despite being able to throw tantrums at anyone, Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to do that to the deaf old lady, since the deaf old lady had Yi Zhonghai behind her.
If she offends Yi Zhonghai, her family will be left without cornmeal every month.
Besides, if they were to fight with the deaf old woman, no one would help their family in this compound if anything happened in the future.
Jia Zhangshi hurriedly tried to get up, but just then an older woman stepped forward and stopped the deaf old lady, saying, "Grandma, don't get angry. Old Liu is here. He'll definitely be able to resolve this matter satisfactorily."
Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong straightened his back slightly more.
If I hadn't twisted my back last night, I could have held on a little longer.
This was affirmation from Yi Zhonghai's wife, which was wonderful news for Liu Haizhong.
Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, and his heart almost melted. He sighed and said, "Aunt Jia, first of all, I must declare that I have no improper thoughts about Sister Qin. We are completely innocent."
"Also, didn't you say you hurt your back? I'll give you three yuan to go get your back checked, is that alright?"
When Jia Zhangshi heard that Sha Zhu was offering to pay compensation, she was overjoyed, and the fat on her face seemed to disappear by half. What was she trying to achieve by making such a fuss? Wasn't she just trying to extort a few dollars from Sha Zhu?
However, I'm not entirely satisfied with the number three.
That's bad luck. Last time, Wang Dabao swindled three yuan from his family.
"Ten yuan."
Jia Zhangshi spoke fluently without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu almost choked on his breath and fainted.
This money was already a waste of money, and now Jia Zhangshi is trying to raise the price on the spot.
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly: "It's just three yuan. Sister-in-law Jia, don't push your luck. Let's leave it at that."
When the deaf old woman saw that her grandson's face was scratched all over and she had to pay for it, she immediately became furious. "Jia Zhangshi, I'll beat you to death! You dare make my grandson pay for it? I'll fight you to the death!"
Jia Zhangshi scrambled to her feet, snatched the three yuan that Sha Zhu had just pulled out, and said, "I'll let you off this time. If I find out you're peeping at that vixen again, I'll gouge your eyes out."
After saying that, Jia Zhangshi took the three yuan and ran away.
The deaf old woman and He Yushui glared fiercely at Jia Zhangshi's retreating figure.
Not far from where she walked, Jia Zhangshi turned back and shouted at Qin Huairu, "Shameless vixen, hurry up and go home to cook, what are you standing there like an idiot for?"
"Okay, I'll go cook right away."
Qin Huairu sobbed as she ran toward the west wing.
Behind him was Sha Zhu's gaze, filled with both heartache and infatuation.
Seeing Sha Zhu's state, the deaf old woman sighed helplessly and walked towards the backyard with her cane.
"Alright, the show's over, time to go." Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and left happily.
......
Wang Dabao has been perfectly fine these past two days; he just goes home, lies in bed, and sleeps.
He didn't plan to eat lunch. He hadn't used up any energy all day and wasn't hungry at all. If he got hungry, he would just eat some biscuits or snacks.
I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the noise outside the window.
Upon opening the window and listening, Wang Dabao's pupils contracted.
Is Jia Dongxu injured?
This is most likely a sign of impending ascension, right?!
