Siheyuan: Start with a big car

The Jia family and the Yan family are both old residents of the courtyard. Although their relationship was not very good in the past and they often quarreled, this was the first time that a fight like today had happened.

The second aunt wanted to stop them at this time, but Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly and said, "Haizhong family, it's rare for everyone to watch the fun for a while, don't spoil the fun."

Yi Zhonghai always has his own purpose in doing things, and this time is no exception.

The Jia family has been a bit dishonest recently, especially Qin Huairu, who still fantasizes that Li Weidong can help her. If they fall out with the Yan family now, the Jia family will have to stand on Yi Zhonghai's side in the future.

Anyway, Yi Zhonghai had a falling out with his third uncle because of Huang Yanling's matter in the past two days.

Sha Zhu was in a particularly good mood today, and he spent the whole day playing in the park with his daughter. His daughter's laughter was still ringing in his ears, and the father and daughter walked towards the compound happily. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the compound, the noisy sound came into his ears like thunder, and he was really scared.

He frowned, a bad premonition came to his mind, and he hurried to the yard. As soon as he entered the yard, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He saw Jia Zhang waving her arms wildly, Bang Geng wrestling with Yan Jiecheng with a red face, and the third uncle and the third aunt were also in the melee. The ground was in a mess, dust was flying, and everyone looked like a madman who had lost his mind.

Sha Zhu was immediately furious. He pulled his daughter aside and asked her to stand in a safe place, then walked into the crowd with big strides. "Stop it!" He roared, and the sound was like a loud bell, echoing in the yard. But the crowd was so angry that they could not stop easily, and no one paid any attention to him.

Sha Zhu was furious. He knew that Li Weidong asked him to take on the role of the second uncle in the hope that he could manage the compound well and maintain harmony and peace. The current scene had completely messed up the order of the compound. He took a few steps forward, grabbed the back of Bang Geng's collar, and pulled it off Yan Jiecheng. "Bang Geng, are you crazy?" Sha Zhu shouted.

Bang Geng was a little dazed by Sha Zhu's pull. He turned around and looked at Sha Zhu fiercely: "Don't worry about me. Today I will make Yan Jie pay for my child's life!" Sha Zhu frowned, looking puzzled: "What child? What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of nonsense are you fighting like this!"

Without waiting for Banggeng to answer, Jia Zhang rushed towards Yan Jiecheng again. Shazhu hurried to stop her, shouting, "Uncle, Aunt, stop fighting. We need to explain this matter clearly. You can't do this recklessly!"

The third uncle and the third aunt finally stopped when they heard Sha Zhu's cry. They stood aside, panting, their faces full of fatigue and fear. But Jia Zhang seemed to have completely lost her mind. While everyone was distracted, she suddenly pounced on Yan Jiecheng and bit his arm. Yan Jiecheng screamed in pain and struggled desperately.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu was immediately furious. He rushed forward, grabbed Jia Zhang's hair, and pulled her back hard, pulling her away from Yan Jiecheng. "Jia Zhang, you've gone too far!" Sha Zhu roared, raised his hand, and slapped Jia Zhang twice.

Jia Zhang was beaten so hard that she saw stars and her mouth was bleeding, but her scoundrel character did not change at all. She sat on the ground, started to throw a tantrum, and cried loudly: "Shazhu, you have no conscience, how dare you hit me! Our Jia family has been bullied like this, and you are still helping outsiders. My great-grandson is gone, and it was all done by that bastard Yan Jiecheng. I will fight him!"

Sha Zhu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Jia Zhang and cursed, "How dare you say that? Look at what a mess you have made in the compound! Why can't you talk it out in a peaceful way? Do you think you can solve the problem this way? You are just making trouble!"

Everyone else in the yard was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless. Qin Huairu hurried over and helped Jia Zhang up, her eyes full of fear and helplessness: "Mom, please stop making a fuss, or something serious will happen." But Jia Zhang didn't listen at all, she was still crying on the ground, and she kept throwing things at Yan Jiecheng.
Sha Zhu was so angry that his face turned red. He could not bear it any longer, so he shouted at Jia Zhang: "Jia Zhang, if you continue to make trouble here, I will send you to the police station and let the police take care of you!" This shout was full of energy and buzzed in the yard. When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to be sent to the police station, she was so scared that she dared not cry anymore. She sat on the ground sobbing and wiping her tears, but she finally calmed down.

Sha Zhu looked at the people in the yard who were in such a mess, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then asked seriously: "Why did you two families fight? We must make things clear today, otherwise this matter will not end."

Qin Huairu's face was covered with tears. She looked at Shazhu, then at Banggeng, and said with a sob: "Shazhu, it was Yan Jiecheng who killed Banggeng's son. Banggeng and Huang Yanling had a relationship before, and the child in Huang Yanling's belly was Banggeng's, but Yan Jiecheng got rid of the child and divorced Huang Yanling. Our Jia family has suffered a great sin." As she spoke, Qin Huairu couldn't help crying again.

Yan Jiecheng, who was listening from the side, stamped his feet in anxiety. He loudly retorted, "Qin Huairu, don't listen to Huang Yanling's nonsense. Can you believe what that woman says? She is just trying to sow discord and deliberately caused all this. She had affairs with other men and women outside, and the child is not Banggeng's at all. It's her own fault for her misbehavior. I divorced her because I really had no choice."

Sha Zhu frowned. He had indeed heard some rumors about this matter, but in his opinion, before there was solid evidence, we must not easily draw conclusions, and we must not let the Jia family put all the blame on the Yan family. He looked at the Jia family firmly and said in a serious tone: "There is no evidence now. You can't be so unreasonable. Go back first and stop making trouble here."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately refused to do it. She got up from the ground, rushed to Sha Zhu, and shouted at the top of her voice: "No, we can't just let it go. Our Jia family's child is gone, Yan Jiecheng must compensate us."

Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang helplessly and asked patiently, "What compensation? Don't be so unreasonable. Explain yourself clearly."

Jia Zhang glared and said confidently, "Yan Jiecheng killed my grandson, who is the incense of our Jia family! He must give us money as compensation, otherwise I will never forgive him."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu laughed angrily: "Jia Zhang, what kind of logic is this? Now that things haven't been sorted out, you're asking for money. Do you think this is a vegetable market? Are you bargaining?"

Qin Huairu pulled Jia Zhang aside and whispered, "Mom, let's go back first and talk about it after we figure it out."

Jia Zhang shook Qin Huairu's hand away and said, "No, I won't leave if I don't get the money today."

Sha Zhu's face was livid, his eyes were full of anger, he was really fed up with Jia Zhang's rogue face. Without saying a word, he took a step forward, grabbed Jia Zhang's arm, and dragged her out of the courtyard.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I can't deal with you anymore since you're being so unreasonable. I'm going to send you to the police station now and let the police take good care of you." Sha Zhu said loudly while pulling Jia Zhang.

When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to be sent to the police station, her arrogant attitude instantly disappeared without a trace. Her face turned pale and her eyes were full of fear. She began to struggle desperately, but Sha Zhu was very strong and she couldn't break free at all.

"Silly Zhu, silly Zhu, I was wrong, please don't send me to the police station." Jia Zhang begged for mercy in a sobbing voice, her voice trembling, "My old bones can't stand the torture, please forgive me this time."

Sha Zhu was unmoved. He continued to pull Jia Zhang out of the courtyard: "Are you scared now? It's too late! You have been making trouble in this courtyard for so long, disturbing everyone. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't learn your lesson." Seeing this, Jia Zhang hurriedly looked at Qin Huairu and Bang Geng: "Hurry up and save me. I can't go to the police station."

Qin Huairu hurried over and grabbed Sha Zhu's arm: "Sha Zhu, please, don't send my mother-in-law to the police station. She is old and confused. Please forgive her this time."

Bang Geng also said, "Uncle, we won't make trouble anymore. Please let grandma go."

Sha Zhu looked at them, hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped, but he still held Jia Zhang's arm tightly and said seriously: "Today, for the sake of Qin Huairu and Bang Geng, I will let you go. But you have to promise not to make trouble like this again in the future. If there is a next time, I will never let you off easily."

Jia Zhang nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I promise, I promise, I will never dare to do it again." Only then did Sha Zhu let go of her hand. Jia Zhang collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath with lingering fear.

"Okay, everyone, go away. When the old man comes back and sees you all gathered here, he will definitely get angry."

The residents left one after another.

The Jia family returned home, supported by Qin Huairu and Banggeng, and returned home in disgrace. As soon as she entered the house, her fierce temper came up again, she sat down on the chair and started to curse.

"That Yan Jiecheng is a complete piece of shit! He killed my great-grandson and dared to fight back. He must die a horrible death!" Jia Zhang cursed and slapped the table with her hands, shaking the teacups on the table.

"And that idiot Zhu, who does he think he is? He actually dared to drag me to the police station. He is in cahoots with Yan Jiecheng, and neither of them is a good person. Why should he care about our Jia family's affairs? Humph, I think he just wants to curry favor with the Yan family, and he has no good intentions." Jia Zhang was so angry that her face turned red, her eyes flashed with anger, and the deep wrinkles on her face became even more twisted because of anger.

Qin Huairu frowned and hurriedly advised, "Mom, please stop scolding. We were wrong in the first place. If you keep scolding like this and others hear it, we'll get into trouble again."

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu fiercely: "What do you know? Our Jia family has suffered such a great injustice, and I can't scold it? That Yan Jiecheng must give us an explanation. And Sha Zhu, he treated me like this today, I will never let it go."

Bang Geng also echoed, "Grandma, you are right. We can't just let Yan Jiecheng go like this. We have to make him pay the price."

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly. She knew that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were both angry and it would be difficult to persuade them for a while.

Li Weidong returned to the courtyard from the steel rolling mill, and Sha Zhu reported everything to him.

Li Weidong was also stunned. These guys were really good at having fun.

"Silly Zhu, you did the right thing this time."

After receiving Li Weidong's praise, Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes with joy.

He knew very well that Li Weidong was now the most popular person in the steel mill. As long as he had Li Weidong's help, he would definitely make progress.

At night, the courtyard was covered with darkness. In the simple house of Jia's family, the dim light flickered, barely illuminating the small space. On the table were several coarse porcelain bowls filled with dark cornmeal porridge. There were no side dishes, only a small dish of pickled vegetables.
Bang Geng picked up the bowl and gulped down the cornmeal porridge. The rough taste made him frown slightly, but hunger still drove him to swallow quickly. Qin Huairu ate silently, her eyes full of worry. She looked at the bland food and thought about how to find something to eat for the family tomorrow. Jia Zhang was mumbling about the hardship of life while chewing pickles with difficulty.

At this moment, a knock on the door broke the silence in the room. Jia Zhang frowned, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and got up to open the door. When she opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai standing outside, she was immediately furious.

"Oh, it's you, Yi Zhonghai. How dare you come to our Jia family?" Jia Zhang's eyes widened, her face full of anger and dissatisfaction, "Today our Jia family was bullied like that, why didn't you come out to help?
Yi Zhonghai was somewhat embarrassed by Jia Zhang's sudden scolding. He cleared his throat and tried to explain: "Jia Zhang, don't be angry. I just found out about this. I went out for something today and heard about it when I came back. I came to see you."

However, Jia Zhang didn't listen to his explanation at all and continued to scold: "Hmph, you only know how to say nice things. Our Jia family is about to be trampled under someone's feet. What's the point of you coming here now? You are a guy who will watch people in need without helping. I really misjudged you before." As she said that, she was about to close the door and didn't want to pay any more attention to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's angry face, sighed helplessly, and then slowly took out a bag of rice hidden behind him.

Jia Zhang's eyes suddenly widened, and her angry expression froze instantly, and then she put on a flattering smile. Her hand, which was about to close the door, also stopped, and she quickly reached out to take the bag of rice.

"Hey, Old Yi, what are you doing... Come on, come in and talk." Jia Zhang's tone became gentle and enthusiastic, completely different from before. As she spoke, she turned sideways to make way for Yi Zhonghai.

The corners of Yi Zhonghai's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and he walked into the house carrying rice.

An old woman like Jia Zhangshi may be noisy, but she is actually a fool. (End of this chapter)
