Chapter 144: Jia Family's Scandal Exposed, Justice Warrior Wang Weiguo
"Mom, what are you making a fuss about?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang started to make a fuss, Jia Dongxu not only looked unhappy, but also had an extremely headache.

"Am I making trouble?"

Hearing Jia Dongxu's accusation, Jia Zhang, who was already unhappy, cursed: "Jia Dongxu, you are an ungrateful ungrateful bastard. I raised you with all my heart, and now you have a job, a wife, and a son. Now that you are capable, you start to bully me. You are an ungrateful and unfilial son, I..."

If it were someone else, Jia Zhang would have rushed over to fight the other person long ago.

But the person sitting opposite her was her own son, and her only son at that. Jia Zhang said she wanted to scratch him to death, but she did not take any action.

No matter what, Jia Dongxu is also her flesh and blood.

But because of this, Jia Zhang felt even more sad.

"Mom, I just asked you to pay some money, why are you doing this?"

Jia Dongxu, who was called an ungrateful person by his own mother, had a dark face and felt very helpless.

"Some money?"

Seeing Jia Dongxu speak so easily, Jia Zhangshi became even more upset and said angrily, "Ten yuan? Is this a contribution? And it's ten yuan per month. Where can I find this money for you?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but compromise and said, "If it really doesn't work, I can take less a month, eight yuan is fine..."

“Eight bucks!!”

Before Jia Dongxu could finish his words, Jia Zhang heard that he had compromised by reducing the price by two yuan. Instead of being happy at all, she almost fainted from anger.

Is it because you think ten dollars is too much?
Ultimately, she still needs to take the money.

"Hey, Jia Dongxu, you want me to die!"

"It costs so much money, why don't you just rob it?"

"My God, what on earth did I give birth to?"

"I won't live anymore!"

"I raised a child for so many years, but ended up raising an ungrateful wolf. What sin did I commit in my previous life?"

"I have no hope in this life..."

"..."

Jia Zhang, who didn't want to spend a penny, started making trouble again.

Faced with Jia Zhang's unreasonable demands, Jia Dongxu, who had just tried to persuade and communicate with her, couldn't help but feel angry when he found that he was completely unable to convince her.

soon.

The Jia family's movement directly alarmed the surrounding neighbors.

Without waiting for others to urge him, Yi Zhonghai, who had discovered the commotion at the Jia family, went straight outside the door to ask.

"Sister-in-law, what happened?"

"Dongxu, what did you do to make your mother unhappy?"

"Sister-in-law, let's sit down and talk it over. Don't make a scene!"

"It's late at night, everyone is watching!"

"..."

Although Yi Zhonghai's words seemed to be inquiring, they were actually giving reminders and advice to Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu to be more restrained and not let the neighbors in the courtyard laugh at them.

If there are any problems or issues, just solve them yourself behind closed doors. If they become known to everyone, you will be the one who gets into trouble.

Not long after Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the tightly closed door of the Jia family suddenly opened, and then Jia Zhang ran out wiping her tears and cried to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, you must make the decision for me this time!"

This scene stunned the people around.

Jia Zhang was fearless and they had never seen her looking so aggrieved.

In the past, even if she cried and made a fuss, she would be unreasonable and throw a tantrum instead of looking aggrieved as she does now.

Although her grievances are completely different from Qin Huairu's tears, they are still enough to broaden people's horizons.

At this time.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu also chased out from home.

Jia Dongxu was a little embarrassed to find so many people gathered outside without knowing when, and he quickly advised Jia Zhang: "Mom, please stop making trouble. If you have anything to say, let's go home and talk about it."

Jia Dongxu is also a person who cares about his reputation, so naturally he doesn't want to make his family's dirty laundry public.

After all, it is their Jia family's own business. If it gets out of hand, it will not be good for either him or Jia Zhang.

However, his words not only failed to ease Jia Zhang's resistance, but instead had the effect of adding fuel to the fire.

"Noisy?"

"Jia Dongxu, you have no conscience when you say that."

"Am I the one making a scene?"

“Whose problem is this?”

"If you don't make it clear today, don't even think about going back."

"..."

In front of outsiders, Jia Dongxu advised herself not to make a fuss, which was tantamount to directly accusing her of being unreasonable.

But is this really the case?

Jia Dongxu is confusing right and wrong.

Jia Zhang, who never wanted to suffer any loss, was feeling aggrieved and upset. How could she tolerate such "slander"?

Even if it’s your own son, it’s not allowed!
"Uncle, neighbors, please help me judge this matter."

Taking advantage of the neighbors being around, Jia Zhang ignored Jia Dongxu's ugly face and said loudly, "This Jia Dongxu came back and asked me for money, and he asked for ten yuan right away. This is simply inexplicable.

What's even worse is that he asked me to give him 10 yuan a month. How can I, who doesn't even have a job, find so much money for him?"

As soon as Jia Zhang said this, the people who were originally watching the fun around suddenly looked at Jia Dongxu differently.

"No way, is this really happening?"

"Jia Dongxu, how old are you? Why are you still asking your mother for money?"

"Isn't this... a bit unreasonable?"

"That's right. If he asks for ten dollars right away, isn't that too much?"

"And it's ten yuan a month. What do you think, Jia Dongxu?"

"..."

Although Jia Zhang was not popular in the courtyard and had no good relationships with people, everyone felt that this matter was a bit outrageous, and many people chose to stand on Jia Zhang's side.

The main reason is that Jia Dongxu is no longer a child, and Jia Zhangshi has no job and no income. It is somewhat unreasonable for Jia Dongxu to ask Jia Zhangshi for money.

Never seen anything like this.

It’s only because the term “living off parents” has not come out yet, otherwise everyone’s accusations would be clearer.

in the crowd.

Wang Weiguo, who came from the front yard, saw this scene and was very happy.

Another good show is on.

The Jia family is really interesting.

"Hold a meeting!"

"Such a big thing, let's hold a meeting to discuss it!"

"If you have any problems, let's solve them together!"

"Go and call someone..."

"..."

Although quite a few people have been attracted here, not all of them are here yet. With the idea that it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone, Wang Weiguo muttered twice in the crowd.

Thanks to the training of the three uncles, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, when they heard someone calling for a meeting, no one had any objection, and someone responded quickly and started to call other people.

Soon.

Everyone in the front, middle and back yards was gathered together.

"Uncle, what's going on so late at night?"

"Why hold another meeting?"

"What's going on today?" "It's still Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi."

"The Jia family again?"

"Hey, let me tell you, this is really interesting..."

"..."

Some people who didn't know the situation were called over and started asking questions.

Looking at the crowd that was quickly gathered together, and the scene that a whole institute meeting was about to be held, Yi Zhonghai felt a little nervous.

He didn't allow the whole school meeting to be held!
I don't know who shouted just now, but this is what happened.

However, Yan Bugui on the side looked at Wang Weiguo who was secretly happy in the crowd.

He saw it when Wang Weiguo shouted just now.

However, even though he knew that it was Wang Weiguo who was causing trouble, Yan Bugui pretended not to see it and did not choose to expose it. After all, he was too lazy to do something that would offend people and would do no good.

As for the Jia family, he cared even less about it.

At this time, Liu Haizhong, who came from the backyard, was a little excited after understanding what happened.

It's finally time for him to show his talents.

Before Yi Zhonghai could even express his opinion, Liu Haizhong criticized Jia Dongxu first, "Jia Dongxu, you are wrong in this matter. How can you ask your mother for money? It's not easy for your mother to raise you. Besides, you are working now, so you should be the one to support the family."

Although Yi Zhonghai was somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's actions, he did not think there was anything wrong with his words.

In Yi Zhonghai's own opinion, it was indeed wrong for Jia Dongxu to ask Jia Zhang for money.

Especially since Jia Dongxu was his apprentice, and also the future elder care provider whom he was optimistic about and training, Yi Zhonghai found it even more unacceptable.

No matter how many shortcomings Jia Dongxu has, what makes Yi Zhonghai always believe in and choose him is his filial piety.

If this quality changes, it would be like the end of the world for Yi Zhonghai.

If he is not even filial to his own mother, how can he rest assured that Jia Dongxu will take care of him and his wife in their old age?
Speaking of which, Yi Zhonghai is also quite contradictory.

Sometimes Yi Zhonghai felt that the existence of Jia Zhang was an obstacle to his relationship with Jia Dongxu as master and disciple, and was also an unstable factor in Jia Dongxu's future support for them in their old age.

But if it weren't for her, or if Jia Dongxu hadn't been filial to her, Yi Zhonghai would never have chosen Jia Dongxu as his elderly caregiver.

"Second uncle, you don't understand the situation, you can't say that."

Being criticized by Liu Haizhong in public and feeling the contemptuous eyes of the people around him, Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed and complained directly: "When did I stop supporting my family? Since I joined the steel mill, I have always been the one supporting my family and giving my mother pension money every month. How can it be said that I am wrong now?"

After hearing Jia Dongxu's words, many people around him nodded.

The situation that Jia Dongxu just described was indeed the same as what they had known before.

Let alone anything else, just for the fact that he supports his family, there is really nothing to say about Jia Dongxu.

Even though Jia Dongxu had been questioned and ridiculed before, for he had always been stuck at the rank of first-level fitter and had not been promoted to the next level, and was a loser and lacking ambition, it was indeed Jia Dongxu who had been earning money to support his family alone over the years.

As for the fact that Jia Dongxu paid Jia Zhangshi pension money every month, there was no way to complain about it. Even Jia Zhangshi herself admitted it, and she often showed off in the yard to attract hatred.

Even when it comes to pension money, the one that people complain about the most is Jia Zhang.

Because Jia Zhang had nothing to do all day, all the housework was left to her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu. Even though she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, she still asked for pension money every month.

So no matter whether others say that Jia Dongxu is incompetent or not motivated, no one has ever said that Jia Dongxu is unfilial.

Everyone even envied Jia Zhang.

In fact, everyone's dislike for Jia Zhangshi is not only because her personality and the things she did are unpleasant, but also because of jealousy.

After all, Jia Zhangshi doesn't have to work to have food and clothes, she has a diligent and filial daughter-in-law to serve her, and her son gives her pension money every month. Who wouldn't love such a life?

Maybe because of this, Jia Zhang was too idle and bored, so every now and then, she couldn't help but make trouble.

Liu Haizhong naturally thought of these things, but Jia Dongxu's rebuttal made him feel a little embarrassed, so he asked in a deep voice: "So what's your situation now?"

Jia Dongxu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still explained: "Second uncle, you know my situation. I have been sent down to reform, and my monthly salary has been reduced from 33 yuan to 18 yuan. How can 18 yuan a month be enough for our family of four? My family is almost out of food, and I have no choice but to ask my mother for money."

When Jia Dongxu told him the reason, Liu Haizhong also remembered that Jia Dongxu had had his salary cut, and nodded.

Those who had originally blamed Jia Dongxu also changed their tone and pointed the finger at Jia Zhang who was standing nearby.

Jia Zhang was panicked when she saw this, and she immediately cried out, "Jia Dongxu, you didn't say that just now, and where did I get the money? You asked for ten yuan right away, do you think I'm the God of Wealth? If I really had money, would I not give it to you?"

Obviously.

At this time, Jia Zhang also knew that she was getting too anxious and her previous reaction was too great, but even knowing this, she still remained true to her original intention and refused to give up her private money.

We have to admit that Jia Zhang has remained consistent in this regard.

"I wanted to say it, but you didn't give me a chance!"

Jia Dongxu was depressed.

He had just said he wanted money, and before he had time to communicate or explain, Jia Zhang started to make a fuss like a cat with its fur standing on end, and he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Now he has stated the reason why he wanted money, and also confessed the difficulties his family is facing, but Jia Zhang is still like this, which makes Jia Dongxu completely disappointed.

"Mom, stop pretending."

At this point, Jia Dongxu did not give Jia Zhangshi face and said in public: "Don't think we don't know that you have hidden your private money. The pension money I give you every month alone is not small. Do you have the nerve to say that you have no money?
Don't bring up the painkillers anymore. Huairu and I buy them for you every month, and they are not included in your pension money."

Not only did Jia Dongxu sabotage the plan, he also revealed the matter of the painkillers, anticipating Jia Zhang's prediction and blocking her excuse in advance.

Unable to think of any other reason, Jia Zhang turned her head away in anger, choosing to protest with silent silence.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I just calculated it. Three dollars a month. Just the pension money that Jia Dongxu has given you over the years, even if it's not three hundred, it must have been more than two hundred, right?"

While the mother and son were confronting each other in silence, the calculating Yan Bugui stood up.

"How can there be so many?"

Jia Zhang glared at him and retorted on the spot: "The three yuan pension per month was only given to Jia Dongxu after he became a regular employee. Before that, when he was still an apprentice, he only got one yuan at most."

"That's a lot! Jia Dongxu has been doing this for several years."

Yan Bugui said again.

"I don't care. I don't have any money anyway."

Jia Zhang almost hated Yan Bugui's tricks after her trump card was exposed by him. She had no choice but to cheat.

It's not just about the money.

According to Jia Dongxu, she will no longer receive her monthly pension money, and will even have to pay for medicine herself. So what hope does she have?
After Jia Zhang said all this, Jia Dongxu advised aggrievedly: "Mom, isn't this a special situation?

If I hadn't taken a pay cut now, do you think I would be willing to do this?

Our family is in trouble now. You can't be so cruel as to just sit back and do nothing, right?
I’m in this situation now, how can I still give you three dollars of pension every month?

Besides, everything you eat, drink and use now is all given by me. Am I not providing for you in your old age?
What do you want this pension money for?"

After Jia Dongxu said this, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads frequently.

After understanding Jia Dongxu's real thoughts and considering the current reality, Yi Zhonghai immediately felt that Jia Dongxu's approach was correct, and immediately chimed in: "Sister-in-law, Dongxu did this for the sake of your family.

Moreover, Dongxu is only being demoted temporarily for reform. As long as he performs well in the future, he can still return to the workshop, and his salary will be adjusted accordingly. These are only temporary. "

"Correct!"

After being reminded by Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu quickly agreed: "Mom, what the master said makes sense, my current situation is only temporary.

As long as I finish the transformation and return to the workshop, my salary will be restored and everything will be the same as before. I will still pay for your pension and you don’t have to pay for the painkillers yourself.”

With Jia Dongxu's assurance, Jia Zhang's heart was also relieved.

Just thinking about the ten dollars, Jia Zhang began to feel pain again, and said awkwardly and reluctantly: "But this ten dollars is too much."

"It doesn't have to be ten dollars, eight dollars will do."

As soon as he saw that there was a chance, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but get excited.

If you calculate it this way, their living expenses for the next month will actually be about the same as before, after all, they no longer have the three dollars for pension and the expenses for buying painkillers.

Just when Jia Zhang was struggling and was about to give in, and everything was about to come to a happy ending, Wang Weiguo, who was watching the show in the crowd, couldn't bear it anymore.

"Jia Dongxu, you can't do this!"

"Why should your mother have to pay the price for the mistake you made?"

"Ms. Jia Zhang, it's not your fault that Jia Dongxu was demoted and had his salary cut. It's too unfair that you have no money for your retirement."

"Ten or eight yuan, not fifty or eighty cents. How many months can your pocket money last?"

"..."
