Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

Yan Fugui shook his head and spoke with a wry smile.

"At first, I didn't recognize her. Jia Zhang had lost a lot of weight and her hair was disheveled. I thought she was a beggar! I wanted to send her away, but who would have thought it was Jia Zhang!"

After a brief conversation with Yan Fugui, Zhang Minghui didn't stay long and pulled Doudou to the backyard. Doudou opened her cute little eyes and pouted her little mouth.

"Brother, Aunt Zhang stinks. I'm about to vomit."

Alas, Zhang Minghui couldn't stand the smell of Jia Zhang. It smelled a bit like swill, sour and smelly. But he couldn't say that to Doudou.

"Doudou, you have to be polite outside. Even if it's the truth, you can't say it in front of others. Otherwise, they will be embarrassed. We can talk about it freely when we get home. Do you understand?"

Doudou nodded, not quite understanding, holding Zhang Minghui's hand, swinging back and forth, talking happily.

"Brother, I know. I just held back and didn't say anything. I just told you quietly."

Zhang Minghui stroked Doudou's little head with satisfaction, what a smart and cute little kid.

Intermediate Court

Jia Zhang returned home with the package on her back, cursing.

I saw Qin Huairu cleaning the house. Qin Huairu's life had been a bit difficult during this period, but she had no worries about food and drink thanks to the money left by Jia Zhang.

The two Wang brothers who had just moved in were dishonest in their words and would always say nice things to Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu was not a hot-tempered person and did not dare to argue with them in person.

Qin Huairu could only hide from them and told the second uncle in the backyard. After the second uncle Liu Haizhong gave a warning, the two brothers behaved themselves for a few days.

But after that, he still kept saying something. After telling Jia Dongxu, he just frowned but could do nothing.

Jia Dongxu is injured and has just recovered, so he is eager to go to work.

I knew those two brothers were bastards, but since I was not around, I lacked the confidence and did not dare to confront them.

So she could only take out her anger on Qin Huairu every now and then. Qin Huairu was being bullied from all sides these days, and she blamed her husband for being useless.

I also miss the days when Jia Zhang was around.

Although they were always bullied by Jia Zhang, when Jia Zhang was around, she would take the lead in everything at home, and no one in the courtyard dared to bully the Jia family.

Now that Jia Zhang was gone, the family was obviously being bullied, and Qin Huairu often shed tears in secret, missing the days when Jia Zhang was so powerful in the yard.

At this moment, Qin Huairu was cleaning the house and preparing to cook.

Then I heard a sour smell coming from behind, and an unusually familiar voice.

"Huai Ru, you bastard, can't you see that I'm dying of exhaustion? Why don't you come over and give me a hand?"

When Qin Huairu turned around, she saw the familiar face of Jia Zhang, who was cursing with her hands on her hips and disheveled hair.

Qin Huairu was very excited. She had been wronged for many days but had no one to tell. Now that she saw Jia Zhang coming back, she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing her daughter-in-law crying, Jia Zhang nodded with satisfaction. This daughter-in-law is sensible and worthy of being trained by me. But she still needs to be managed.

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips, put down the package and shouted loudly.

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry up and pour me some water."

The familiar scolding made Qin Huairu move involuntarily. After pouring water for Jia Zhang, she smelled the scent on Jia Zhang's body and asked cautiously.

"Mom, why are you back? Does the village know?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's triangular eyes narrowed and spit came out.

"That bunch of conscienceless people, they don't care about my life or death. Now there is no food in the village, and I just drink water every day. These damned people are all on guard against me."

"If I don't come back, I'll have to die in the village. Several old men and women died last winter. I was only able to survive because of my good health."

"And you make me work every day. Look how tired I am."

Qin Huairu's pretty face turned pale. She didn't expect that the countryside was like this. She asked with concern.

"Mom, what should I do if the street office comes to look for you?"

Jia Zhang took a sip of water, opened her mouth wide, and showed her yellow teeth. She spoke in a sinister tone.

"If they dare, I have made up my mind this time. If you find me, I will hang myself at the door of my house. Even if I die, I will not leave this courtyard."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu felt relieved. At least Jia Zhang was there to help her. Smelling the stench on Jia Zhang's body, Qin Huairu spoke softly.

"Mom, I'll boil some water for you. Change your clothes and wash yourself."

Qin Huairu's words made Jia Zhang nod her head with satisfaction. This daughter-in-law is the best. She knows how to be filial. I will never go back to the countryside even if I die.

The countryside is not a place for people to stay. They work every day to earn work points. Even in winter, they are not idle. They just don't know how to enjoy life.

Those old women would bully me. I just stole a few sweet potatoes.

As for this group of people denouncing me together?

When Jia Zhang first arrived in the countryside, she stole sweet potatoes from her neighbor's house. After being caught, Jia Zhang still wanted to act like a rogue and threw a tantrum.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang's tricks didn't work in the countryside. Throwing a tantrum was a common occurrence for women in the countryside, and Jia Zhang's level was nothing.

She had a few old women in the village beat her up and scolded her, even more harshly than Jia Zhang had done. From then on, Jia Zhang behaved well in the village.

Every day, I was ordered to work by the villagers. I was so tired that I fell asleep as soon as I got home at night. I finally survived the winter, but in the spring, I started working in the fields again.

There was not much food to be distributed, and Jia Zhang was so hungry that she saw stars every day. She felt dizzy when she walked. How could Jia Zhang bear this hardship?

So, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I sneaked back.

In this day and age, if you run away, no one will care about you. It's just one less person and one less portion of food. Food is life-saving nowadays.

Qin Huairu was fetching water outside when Wang Lizhu and his brother happened to come back. When they saw Qin Huairu fetching water, they immediately said something dishonest.

"Hey, Sister Qin, are you fetching water? I pity your tender hands. You have to do these rough jobs every day. Jia Dongxu is not a man. You married the wrong person!"

Jia Zhang was in the house staring at Qin Huairu outside. She wanted to see if there were any changes in the courtyard after she had been away for so long.

As a result, I heard what Wang Lizhu said.

Jia Zhang immediately ran out of the house, stretched her short legs tightly, and ran towards Wang Lizhu, cursing loudly.

"You little beast, you dare to act like a hooligan to our Huairu, and you even dare to say that I am your son. I am giving you face, right?"
