He Yuzhu listened to everyone's discussions and felt that it was really true that "three people make a tiger, and many mouths can melt gold."

"No wonder the Shazhu in the previous life had such a bad reputation. Everyone in this courtyard should have contributed to it."

"In the previous life, Yi Zhonghai was the boss of the courtyard, holding up the moral stick and leading a group of people in the courtyard to control Sha Zhu at any time. If you resist them, they will not even consider you a human being."

"Take care of the people in the courtyard and ignore your own son..."

"Is this something a decent person would do? It seems that beasts are beasts..."

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu standing there in silence, thinking that He Yuzhu was shocked by everyone's comments. He felt that the time was right, so he began to preach with great righteousness.

"Zhu Zi, as an elder in the courtyard who has watched you grow up, I will be the peacemaker here."

"As for you, you have good cooking skills. When you have delicious food at home in the future, remember to share it with the people in the courtyard. Don't be selfish and only care about your own little family."

"As for Qin Huairu's matter, let's make a big deal out of a small matter."

"You apologize to Qin Huairu, bring a bowl of meat and vegetables to the Jia family, and pay 10 yuan for medical expenses, and the matter will be over."

"Everyone in the compound knows you well. They know that you are not a bad person by nature. If you change, you will be a good kid..."

Yi Zhonghai was speaking with a self-satisfied feeling when suddenly a loud roar interrupted his performance.

"How can 10 yuan be enough? Look at Qin Huairu's face and hands. This matter will not be over unless you compensate her with 20 yuan." Jia Zhang shouted greedily with anger.

It was already this late, and everyone was looking at He Yuzhu quietly, hoping that he would agree. After all, if the He family had something delicious in the future, they would have a chance to share in it.

Everyone was speechless, including He Yuzhu. Yi Zhonghai was trying hard to exchange glances with Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

Liu Hai was thinking, "The He family has some good food, so they always let the Liu family have a taste. If I ask them to kidnap me, I must be crazy."

Yan Fugui's eyes rolled around, calculating the gains and losses in his mind. In the end, it was the delicious food that made him make up his mind. He said, "Zhu Zi, please express your opinion on this matter today!"

He Yuzhu looked up at everyone present, slowly put away the anger in his eyes, calmed down, and slowly explained: "Neighbors present here include old residents who have watched me grow up, and new residents who were arranged by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"I'm a cook. I have two children and a pregnant woman at home."

"My family is a working family, and we don't have many coupons."

"My master, Luo Jianrong, is the state banquet chef of the Capital Hotel. Now he knows the situation of my family."

"Master, fellow brothers and sisters, please send me some tickets from time to time."

"You say that these days, everyone has a hard time. If my family makes something good, why don't I give some to the old lady? Why don't I give some to the people who have a connection with our He family?"

"In these days, people are short of food and clothing. Who among us would send food to others for no reason?"

"Director He, what you said makes so much sense. These days it's not easy for anyone. Let's just persevere. Look at the current situation, it's slowly easing." Liu Haizhong saw the opportunity to show off and gave advice loudly.

He Yuzhu looked at Liu Haizhong and continued, "I also want to ask everyone: if an unfamiliar person rushed into your home, grabbed a six-month pregnant woman and kept shaking her, what would you do?"

"As for me, I would definitely pull that person's hand away and kick her out of my house!"

"I want to ask everyone, who can watch their family members get hurt?"

"Humph, if it were me, I would beat that person to death on the spot if he dared to come to my house and mess around."

"That person is so vicious. How could he have the heart to do that to a pregnant woman?"

“This is an attempt to harm people.”

"Zhu Zi, you did the right thing."

"Director He, you still restrained yourself."

...

He Yuzhu pressed his hands together and looked at everyone, with an attitude that said, "Yi Zhonghai just said that I slapped Qin Huairu. I suggest you call the police directly."

"But I want to remind you that false accusation is also a crime!"

"Finally, I want to solemnly declare here: Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family and I are just ordinary neighbors. It is best not to have any contact with us in the future."

After saying this, He Yuzhu turned around and went home. He didn't have the time to deal with these people.

Liu Haizhong saw that the protagonists had left, and why were they left standing there? He announced loudly: "Everyone go home and rest early. We have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

"What a waste of time! I'm exhausted after a whole day." Liu Haizhong walked away cursing.

"I just said that there is no good person in the Jia family."

"It's strange that there's anything good about it. The old one is throwing tantrums and the young one is stealing. I thought this daughter-in-law was kind and reasonable, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious."

"Haven't you seen her occupying the pond in the middle courtyard all day? Just think about it, who has so much clothes to wash?"

"Indeed, indeed, this person, you can't just judge by his appearance. He looks like a decent person."

"Who said it wasn't true? You can eat what you want. How can you touch a pregnant woman?"

"Every day, I drink cornmeal porridge to feel half full. Wouldn't it be better to go to sleep directly? After being disturbed by Yi Zhonghai for a long time, I have to endure hunger again tonight."

...

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the voices of everyone's discussions reached the ears of the Jia family. Qin Huairu stopped crying at this time, and went back to the Jia family with the bowl.

Because the Jia family received Yi Zhonghai's grain certificate, their food was not bad compared to that of ordinary families. Banggeng and Xiaodang were eating happily at home, and they didn't care what was going on outside.

The two of them had eaten only a few of the steamed buns made from the two-grain flour. The steamed corn bread on the table was untouched, and the cornmeal porridge in front of them was almost untouched as well.

Qin Huairu glanced at Xiaodang, grabbed Xiaodang by the collar, picked him up and started beating him.

Xiao Dang was enjoying her meal when she was suddenly picked up and beaten. This made her angry and she started to curse: "You are a money-loser, useless thing, get out of the Jia family."

Qin Huairu was originally a daughter-in-law from the countryside. She was used to doing farm work in the countryside and had quite a lot of strength in her arms.

Xiaodang couldn't break free, and started to scratch Qin Huairu with her hands while cursing. Qin Huairu put Xiaodang on the ground.

Xiaodang was standing on the ground, cursing and feeling proud, when Qin Huairu slapped him in the face.

When Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu returned to the room, Xiaodang's face was swollen beyond recognition.

Originally, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were used to hearing Xiaodang cursing, but they didn't know that they were actually beaten, and it was Qin Huairu, who usually treated her own children as if they were her own eyes, who beat them.

Jia Dongxu was originally a mama's boy who looked strong on the outside but was actually weak on the inside. Seeing Qin Huairu's aggressive demeanor since she was a little girl, he didn't dare to say anything. He just sat at the table and ate his dinner.

Jia Zhang was not going to stand it, so she slapped Qin Huairu directly. Because Qin Huairu's attention was on Xiaodang, she was hit twice.

Qin Huairu threw Xiaodang to the ground like a dead dog, and slapped Jia Zhang twice with her backhand.

Qin Huairu has been doing all the housework since she married into the Jia family. In contrast, Jia Zhangshi spends her days eating and sleeping, or bragging to others in the yard. It doesn't take long for Jia Zhangshi to be beaten.

Bang Geng stood there stupidly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Dang shouted at the side: "Dad, go up and beat this money-losing, harmful woman to death, beat her to death, beat her to death..."

Jia Dongxu was so anxious when he saw his mother being beaten that he rushed over desperately, kicking and beating Qin Huairu to death.

Having been a fitter for so many years, Jia Dongxu's hand strength is unmatched by Qin Huairu's.

Qin Huairu was nearly knocked unconscious from the beating. She grabbed a bench and swung it towards Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu subconsciously raised his hand to block it. There was only a "click" sound, followed by Jia Dongxu's howling "Ah, ah, ah..."
