Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said without any concern, "What do you mean this is your roast chicken? I picked it up from the ground. God saw that I, Jia Zhang, had become thin and hungry during this period, so he gave it to me from the sky as a reward." Xu Lide was so angry that she almost vomited blood. A man should not do such a thing to a woman. If this was spread out, her reputation would be ruined for life.

Xu Lide rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "Hehehe, your Jia Dongxu is not married yet? You can throw a tantrum in front of us, but do you think that if this incident today gets out, in the whole Nanluogu Street, or even the whole capital, which good girl would dare to marry your Jia Dongxu?"

As expected, upon hearing this, Jia Zhang jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She wanted to threaten the onlookers, but seeing so many people, if they beat her up in return, Jia Zhang felt that she had to use her own soul-calling method. She sat down on the ground and started to cry and scream, "Old Jia, you damn ghost, come up and see me quickly. They are bullying the dead."

This happened to be heard by Master Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice who were just off work. Jia Dongxu's eyes immediately turned red. He said with trembling hands, "Isn't this fucking rebellious? Bullying my mother, do you think I, Jia Dongxu, am dead?" Jia Dongxu rushed in with his fists clenched, shouting angrily, "Who the hell dared to bully my mother, do you think I, Jia Dongxu, am dead?"

Seeing her good son coming back, Jia Zhang felt relieved. She quickly crawled to her son's side and said, "My good son, this Xu Lide, this bastard bullied your mother to death." Jia Dongxu stared at Xu Lide and said unhappily, "Hey, Uncle Xu. You are so shameless. You, a grown man, bully my mother, a weak woman."

Xu Lide sighed, and the fire in his heart began to rise. He thought to himself, what kind of person is your mother, Jia Zhang? I, Xu Lide, bully her, and it's good enough that she doesn't bully me. Xu Lide was so angry that his chest hurt. He laughed in anger and said, "Okay, okay, since you two mother and son said so, I will call the police station to judge. Let's see if you, Jia Zhang, can turn black into white."

Do you really think Xu Lide is easy to bully? He will not give up until he teaches this old woman a lesson. Yi Zhonghai walked in with square steps and said unhappily, "Old Xu, there is no need to report to the police station for the neighbors in this street. We three are in charge of the courtyard. We three will judge for you."

Seeing her husband coming in, Bai Xiuying quickly told Yi Zhonghai the whole story. Yi Zhonghai frowned as he listened. Why did this old man cause trouble as soon as he got out of prison? Couldn't he be a little more quiet? He had to provoke others as soon as he returned to the courtyard. And the person he provoked was not an ordinary person. Could Xu Lide be a good person?

Xu Lide looked at this scene and said with a smile, "What do you think, Old Yi? Your wife has also told me the whole story. Is it my fault?" Yi Zhonghai's face turned red. Today's incident really had nothing to do with Xu Lide. But for the sake of his own retirement cause, Yi Zhonghai still said awkwardly, "Well, Old Xu, Dongxu's family is not easy either. Look at this orphan and widow. Can you just raise your hand and let your sister-in-law go?"

Xu Lide nodded with a smile. Seeing that Xu Lide actually agreed, Yi Zhonghai was delighted. He quickly asked Jia Dongxu to thank him. Xu Lide waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me yet. It's 20 yuan for buying a chicken. As long as he compensates me 20 yuan, I will let this old man go. Otherwise, you can expect this old man to convince the police comrades!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she became furious. She cursed with a dark face, "A roast chicken costs at most two or three yuan. Even a roast chicken from Bianyifang only costs five yuan. You actually want 5 yuan from me. This is blatant robbery!"

Xu Lide snorted coldly and said, "I bought it from such a far place, don't I need some hard work fee?" Xu Lide didn't care about that. Doesn't this old guy like to snatch his roast chicken? Then I have to teach him a profound lesson so that she won't dare to snatch her things in the future.

Yi Zhonghai also felt that Xu Lide was going too far, so he said to Xu Lide, "Old Xu, you are going too far. Can a roast chicken be worth so much money? How about I let Dongxu compensate you 10 yuan? 10 yuan is not a small amount. Why don't you go buy one yourself tomorrow when you take a walk?"

How could Jia Zhang, a money-loving Pixiu, be happy when she heard that her family had to pay 10 yuan in compensation? She shook her head like a rattle and said, "We don't have any money. We have no money, and we have to pay for it. Hey, old Jia, come up and take a look. Your good friend is trying to kill your wife. Come up and take Xu Lide, the old bastard, away."

Everyone in the yard was speechless, and Qin Huairu was watching from the sidelines and exclaimed that it was wonderful. Yi Zhonghai was also very unhappy about Jia Zhang's disturbance. He glared at this troublemaker and said, "Okay, okay, go ahead and make a fuss. If you don't pay the money, Lao Xu will report it to the Public Security Bureau. You just got out, don't you think about yourself? Do you want your son to be fired from the steel mill?"

Jia Zhang was stunned as if she was cast into a spell. She didn't care how others cursed her behind her back, but if her son was expelled, then they would starve to death. Seeing that Jia Zhang was no longer trying to summon the spirit, Yi Zhonghai glared at his apprentice and said, "Go get 10 yuan and give it to your uncle Xu to pay for it."

Jia Dongxu was a little hesitant. Seeing that Jia Dongxu didn't move, Yi Zhonghai asked curiously, "Why are you still standing there? Go and get money for your uncle Xu." Xu Lide on the side frowned and said, "Old Yi, what do you mean by this? I agreed to the settlement just to give you face, but you make it sound like I'm collecting protection money."

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "Lao Xu, you really misunderstood. I, Yi Zhonghai, don't have this idea."
