After resting at home for a while, Wei Hua went to the Intermediate People's Court. He had no grudges against the Huang family; they were moving, and he was just offering a helping hand.
Now, Wei Hua has long since inherited everything from the original owner. He also cherishes his childhood friends.
If it were only for profit, who knows how many more people in the courtyard would have suffered. And it wasn't just Wei Hua who came to help; Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were also there.
The most eager to participate were the Yan brothers. No one was curious about their behavior; that's just the kind of people the Yan family are. Once there's any benefit, they'll flock to it like moths to a flame.
The only one that surprised Wei Hua was Jia Dongxu. But thinking about it, it made sense. Given Jia Zhangshi's personality, she would never let go of any opportunity to take advantage.
If the Huang family were simply moving to another courtyard, I'm afraid very few people would be willing to help. But the Huang family is going to the Northeast, which is so far away, they certainly can't take many things with them.
Be proactive at this time. Once the Huang family moves out, you'll have a reason to claim what they don't want.
Wei Hua wasn't particularly interested in these things, but since someone else was being so enthusiastic, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
They only help when moving heavy items. A short while after the items were moved out, a horn blared outside.
Upon hearing the car, everyone started helping to load the items onto it. Fortunately, there were many people, and each person made two or three trips, and the smaller items were all moved. There weren't many large items either, just three relatively large cabinets.
In less than an hour, all of the Huang family's belongings were loaded onto the truck. Huang Tao's father, Huang Wenshuo, even warmly offered cigarettes to everyone. Since the truck had to go somewhere else, the Huang family didn't say much to everyone. They simply waved to them from the truck.
But the fight had barely begun when the car left. Neither the Jia family nor the Yan family were the type to suffer a loss. Besides, there were quite a few other people in the courtyard besides them.
These people weren't as outrageous as them, but their lives were generally not very good. Seeing these things now was like a shark smelling blood.
In order to get more items, some fighting and scrambling was inevitable. Fortunately, these people didn't want to have too much conflict with the two families, so they took some small items and left.
However, the Yan family and the Jia family got into a dispute over a small cabinet, and neither of them wanted to suffer a loss.
"Yan Bugui, you're supposed to be a big shot in this courtyard. How dare you try to take things from the Jia family? You earn at least forty-odd yuan a month. But look at the kind of life the Jia family lives!"
“Although my salary is higher than yours, don’t forget that we have four children. This doesn’t belong to your family, so why can’t our Yan family take it? Why should everyone in our courtyard give way to your Jia family? Is it because your Jia family is shameless?”
“My son got the item first. Why should we give it to you? If you want it, you can have it, but you have to give me two yuan. If you’re willing to pay, I’ll give you the cabinet.”
"Have you no shame? You're asking for two yuan for such a broken cabinet. Since you've said that, why don't you just give me two yuan and take the cabinet away?"
"Since you're unwilling to pay, then get out of my way. I haven't settled the score with you for what happened last time. If you really piss me off, don't blame me for being rude. Don't think I can't deal with your Jia family. The reason I've been lenient with you before is mainly because of Yi Zhonghai."
"But look at Yi Zhonghai now, what has your family done to him? If it weren't for your Jia family, would Yi Zhonghai be in this state now?"
The speaker meant well, and the listener took it to heart. This prompted Huang Xiaojuan, who was standing nearby, to immediately step forward. In the past, when life was manageable, Huang Xiaojuan would try her best to endure it. But now, the Yi family's life was no longer what it used to be.
The thought that the Yi family's current state was all because of the Jia family finally overwhelmed Huang Xiaojuan, and she could no longer contain her emotions. She rushed out and started scratching Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi was not one to be trifled with; throwing tantrums and acting out were her specialties. Seeing that Huang Xiaojuan dared to scratch her, she immediately retaliated by waving her claws back.
Seeing that Jia Zhangshi and Huang Xiaojuan were fighting, Yan Bugui immediately led several children to start moving things. Even the things that the Jia family had originally occupied were taken back by them.
After moving their belongings, they followed the courtyard house, while the others stood by and watched the commotion. The Jia and Yi families had almost offended everyone in the courtyard house last time, so no one stepped in to mediate.
Everyone watched as Jia Zhangshi and Huang Xiaojuan fought in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai naturally wouldn't come out to help Huang Xiaojuan, but Jia Zhangshi had someone helping her.
Upon seeing his mother injured, Jia Dongxu immediately came out and kicked Huang Xiaojuan to the ground.
"Okay, very good."
“I’ve known all along that your family is no good. Since you’re making my life miserable, I’m going to report you to the neighborhood committee today. I’ll make sure you and Yi Zhonghai suffer a terrible death.”
Upon hearing Huang Xiaojuan's words, Yi Zhonghai lost interest in watching the commotion. If Huang Xiaojuan really went to the neighborhood office to report him, he would be the one who would suffer.
"Xiao Juan, how long are you going to keep this up? What exactly happened between me and the Jia family? I only helped them because they were living a miserable life."
“I know Dongxu shouldn’t have hit you. I’ll have him come over here right now to apologize to you.”
"Dongxu, you get over here right now. Your mother and your master's wife are fighting, and not only did you not try to stop them, you even dared to lay a hand on your master's wife. Look at how angry you've made your master's wife. Kneel down and apologize to her right now."
Yi Zhonghai's words had no effect whatsoever; Jia Dongxu completely ignored him.
Seeing that her son remained unmoved, Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to tug at Jia Dongxu's trouser leg.
"Dongxu, what are you standing there for? Quickly apologize to your master's wife. You really shouldn't have resorted to violence over what happened between us."
"Hahaha! You adulterous couple are finally scared. As for apologies, no need. Let's settle our scores instead."
After Huang Xiaojuan finished speaking, she slowly got up from the ground. She touched the back of her head and found some blood on her hand, but she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Yi Zhonghai, since your heart is not with me, I will not waste your time any longer. You can go to prison with Jia Zhangshi and spend the rest of your lives there!"
After saying that, he didn't give them a chance to speak and went straight back to the Yi family home. He wrapped his head in a cloth and then limped towards the outside of the courtyard.
Seeing that Huang Xiaojuan was serious, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi became anxious. Their affair couldn't withstand scrutiny. Even if nothing had actually happened, Yi Zhonghai's financial support for the Jia family over the years had been excessive.
Yi Zhonghai knew he had to quell this matter no matter what. If he didn't, he feared he would be doomed.
In order to prevent things from escalating, Yi Zhonghai immediately stopped Huang Xiaojuan.
"Speak, what exactly do you want?"
"Now you're asking me what I want? I should be asking you what you really want. I've been married to you for so many years, have you ever truly treated me well?"
“You constantly beat and verbally abuse me. For the sake of your so-called reputation as a 'big shot,' I can only swallow my anger and protect your reputation and status. But look at what you've actually done! You'll do anything for the Jia family, but have you ever cared about my feelings?”
"I only have one demand now, and that is a divorce. And compensation for all the losses I've suffered over the years. Otherwise, I'll report you to the local neighborhood committee. I'd like to know if having illicit affairs is punishable by execution?"
“The Jia family has taken at least 800 yuan from our family over the years, if not 1,000. I want the Jia family to return all of this money. I have a record of every amount of money the Jia family has taken from you over the years.”
"What do you think I'll do if I hand these things over to the neighborhood committee? I heard Director Wang is no longer here. If I bring up what happened last time again, what do you think you'll do then?"
“My demands aren’t high. I want all the money you gave to the Jia family back. And I want the Jia family to compensate me for the medical expenses I’m owed. Even if half of that money was yours, the Jia family should still compensate me at least 500 yuan.”
"If you agree to divorce me and give me 1,000 yuan, this matter will be over. Otherwise, I'll just go back to my parents' house alone, and then all of you will go in and get shot."
