Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

The grain donation incident was over, the Jia family had food, Jia Zhang had enough to eat, and had nothing to do, so she could argue with the old women in the compound again.

That morning, some unemployed women in the courtyard gathered in the front yard and chatted about family matters and daily necessities.

Jia Zhang, who got up late, had just finished her breakfast. She looked at the dishes on the table, then at Qin Huairu who was playing with her son, and then she spoke.

"Huai Ru! I'll help you take care of the kids, go clean up the dishes."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu reluctantly put her son down and walked to the table.

Seeing the dishes and a pile of sweet potato peels on the table, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt in her heart.

"Mrs. Jia Zhang is really a piece of shit. Not only is she lazy and greedy, but you vomited all over the table after drinking some sweet potato porridge. Aren't you disgusting?"

Although Qin Huairu was reluctant in her heart, as a "good daughter-in-law", she could not say no and could only work hard to clean up.

Seeing Qin Huairu's performance, Jia Zhang was very satisfied. She picked up Banggeng and walked towards the front yard.

Several women who were chatting in the front yard saw Jia Zhang coming from a distance. As Jia Zhang's mortal enemy, how could Widow Wang be willing to give up this opportunity to attack Jia Zhang? She immediately mocked.

"Sisters, look at this Jia Zhang. She gets up later than the sun. If you don't know, you would think she did something shameful at night."

"Hahaha……."

Widow Wang's words caused everyone to laugh.

"Who says it's not true? He is lucky to have a good daughter-in-law, unlike me, who is born to work hard."

"Bah! I think she is just shameless. Who can sleep so long as this?"

The neighbors in the courtyard usually had a bad relationship with Jia Zhangshi, and because they had donated grain to the Jia family a few days ago, they were resentful and started to add insult to injury.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Jia Zhang is coming. If people hear her gossiping behind your back, that's not good."

When the aunt saw Jia Zhang coming, she tried to persuade her kindly not to gossip about others behind their backs.

How could Jia Zhang not hear what everyone was talking about? The courtyard was so small, and these people were talking so loudly, as if they were afraid that Jia Zhang couldn't hear them.

When Jia Zhang heard someone saying bad things about her, she took two steps at a time and rushed towards the gate. Because she was walking so fast, the fat on her body was shaking up and down. Before she arrived, the voice had already been heard.

"Oh my! Why do I hear a group of wild dogs barking and biting people so early in the morning? Are they mad dogs from somewhere? In my opinion, we should find a needle to sew up their stinky mouths to prevent these beasts from biting people."

Jia Zhang is still the same Jia Zhang. Her "fighting power" is very strong. With just a few words, she offended a group of people.

You have to know that several aunts were here and there, and they didn't say anything bad about Jia Zhang. They even reminded her not to gossip about others behind their backs.

Jia Zhang's words made the aunts very angry. Just as the third aunt was about to step forward to argue, she was interrupted by the hot-tempered widow Wang.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I see that you have just had a full meal for two days. You don't even know your last name. Who are you calling a wild dog? Explain it to me clearly, or I, the widow Wang, will be the first one to not forgive you."

Widow Wang said angrily.

"Whoever takes the bait, I'm talking to you. What's the matter? Do you really think that I, Jia Zhang, am made of clay? You can make me round if you want, or flatten me if you want."

Seeing Jia Zhang's smug look, Widow Wang became furious. She had never won an argument before, so she decided not to argue today and was ready to take action.

"I'm not going to tear your stinky mouth apart!"

After Widow Wang finished speaking, she quickly walked forward and prepared to have a chat with Jia Zhang.

When the people around saw this, they knew that a fight was not going to happen, so a few quick-eyed and quick-handed middle-aged women grabbed Widow Wang and tried to persuade her in a gentle manner.

Seeing this situation, Jia Zhang was not intimidated. She put down the stick in her hand, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted.

"Come on! Who's afraid of who? Anyone who doesn't come is a son of a bitch."

Jia Zhang's words angered Widow Wang, who had just been appeased. Widow Wang struggled desperately, and the people who were trying to hold her back seemed unable to do so.

War is imminent!

"Stop it, both of you, stop it now. Jia Zhang, you are such a jerk. I think you have nothing better to do. Widow Wang is not making a fuss over here, so why are you still making a fuss?"

The third aunt saw that things were getting out of control and was afraid that something might happen, so she scolded loudly.

Jia Zhang was in a good mood today, but as soon as she went out, she was bullied by a group of old women, and her good mood immediately turned into bad mood.

After hearing what the third aunt said, she felt that everyone in the courtyard was targeting her. She felt indignant and spoke viciously.

"Yang Ruihua, you are meddling in other people's business. What does it have to do with you whether I am full or not? If you have the ability, go home and eat. Why are you pretending to be a good person here?"

Jia Zhang's words deeply hurt the third aunt's heart.

Think about their family’s Mr. Yan. Last time he donated 10 kilograms of sweet potatoes, he couldn’t sleep well the whole night after returning home. He didn’t expect that this is how people would evaluate his family.

When she thought of this, the third aunt felt a dull pain in her heart, and then she spoke loudly.

"Jia Zhang, I am trying to catch a rat, right? I am pretending to be a good person, right? We are not well fed, right? Well, you are powerful, Jia Zhang, I cannot afford to offend you. We are humble, and we should not have donated food to your family. Please return the food we donated."

The words of the third aunt were so deafening and powerful that the neighbors nearby all fell silent and started thinking.

"Yes! You don't even have enough to eat, but you donate food to others. As a result, others are full and they laugh at you. How can this be justified?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Looking at the neighbor who was boiling with anger, Jia Zhang did not restrain herself at all. Instead, she said something even more explosive.

"We got it by our own ability, why should we return it? If you want to return it, go find Yi Zhonghai, don't talk to me."

Even the middle-aged woman standing by couldn't sit still anymore. She pointed at Jia Zhang and spoke angrily.

"You...you...you, Jia Zhang, you are shameless!"

The aunt was probably so angry that she hesitated for a long time before she could say a complete sentence.

The women next to them were not so easy to deal with. Jia Zhang's words had completely angered them. They only heard one of them say:

"Jia Zhang, please return our food quickly, otherwise, no one will be able to help us today."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people rushed forward, ready to capture Jia Zhang, and the situation suddenly got out of control.

At this moment, Jia Zhang no longer dared to be stubborn. A wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him. She even abandoned her grandson and ran home.

After being punched several times, Jia Zhang got rid of the group of women and finally ran home. She closed the door and refused to open it no matter how people outside called out.

This scene was seen by Qin Huairu who was washing clothes by the sink. Qin Huairu didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to step forward rashly. She put down the clothes in her hands and walked towards the front yard.

When Qin Huairu came to the front yard, she happened to see an old lady, and her good son Banggeng was being held by the old lady. Only then did she feel relieved.

"Auntie, what's going on?"

Qin Huairu asked.

"It's Huairu. This is a long story and you can't handle it. So, I'll help you take care of the child first. You go to the steel mill to notify Zhonghai and Dongxu and ask them to come back to deal with it."

"Oh, thank you, Auntie! I'll go right away."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she ran towards the steel mill without looking back.
