Siheyuan: Starting from the Old Society

"You..." Qin Huairu was so angry at Jia Zhang's words that she couldn't speak. She never thought that at this time, Jia Zhang was still stubborn and had no intention of repenting!

"That's enough!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it any longer. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Jia Zhang, how long are you going to persist in your delusion? Look at the way you look now. How can you be an elder at all? You are simply a vicious woman!"

"That's right, sister-in-law, you are confused! Banggeng is your grandson, how could you have the heart to do that to him?" The third uncle Yan Bugui also said. He usually tried to smooth things over, but this time even he couldn't stand it anymore.

"You...you..." Jia Zhang's face turned pale and blue as she was accused by everyone. She pointed at everyone but couldn't say a word.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to her!" Sha Zhu said in a rough voice, "Hurry up and send her to the police station. This vicious woman should be put in jail to reflect on her mistakes!"

"Yes, send him to the police station! Send him to the police station!" everyone echoed.

Seeing this, Jia Zhang suddenly panicked. She struggled to beg for mercy, but at this moment, no one was willing to listen to her anymore.

At this moment, He Yuzhu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Wait a minute."

"Silly Zhu, what are you going to do now?" Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu with squinted eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

He Yuzhu ignored Xu Damao. He walked up to Jia Zhang and looked down at her with a sneer on his face. "Jia Zhang, do you want to save Bang Geng?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up. She seemed to have grasped the last straw and nodded quickly, "I want to! I want to! Zhuzi, please help me, please help me! As long as you can save Banggeng, I will do anything you ask me to do!"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Zhang's ugly appearance, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He pretended to be deep and said: "I can help you, but..."

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Jia Zhang asked anxiously.

He Yuzhu leaned close to Jia Zhang's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang's face turned pale. She looked at He Yuzhu in disbelief, her lips trembling, but she couldn't say a word...

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang in disbelief. This "mother" whom she had called for more than ten years actually killed her own grandson so cruelly just for a stutter! She felt cold all over, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. All the past events flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

"Someone come, report to the police!" Uncle Yi Zhonghai acted promptly and shouted loudly.

"Jia Zhang, what else do you have to say?!" The second uncle pointed at Jia Zhang's nose with his bangs, spitting everywhere, "You vicious woman! You even harmed your own grandson, are you still a human being?!"

"I...I..." Jia Zhang was so frightened that she was incoherent. She wanted to explain, but found that she had no way to defend herself.

"Stop talking nonsense with her, send her to Gong'anju immediately and let the law punish her!" The third uncle Yan Bugui also said indignantly.

In the crowd, Xu Damao watched this scene with a gloating look on his face, feeling secretly happy. Jia Zhang had hit a wall this time, let's see how he can act arrogantly in the yard in the future!

Soon, the police arrived and took away Jia Zhang and Bang Geng who served as a witness.

Qin Huairu sat on the ground helplessly, tears falling silently. She didn't know how things turned out like this, she only knew that she had lost her most beloved son, and all this was caused by Jia Zhang!

"Huai Ru, don't cry, Bang Geng will be fine." Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huai Ru with heartache and comforted her clumsily.

Qin Huairu shook her head and said nothing. She knew that even if Banggeng was fine this time, he would still have a psychological trauma in the future. And all this was caused by Jia Zhang!

"Qin Huairu, you too, how could you be so careless and allow Jia Zhang to harm Bang Geng?"

"That's right, I think you're also an irresponsible mother!"

"Poor Banggeng, he is so unlucky to have such a grandma!"

The people around her started to point fingers at Qin Huairu and talk about her. Qin Huairu felt exhausted, she held her head and squatted on the ground in pain.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu stood up suddenly and shouted at those who were making sarcastic remarks: "Shut up! You know nothing! That old hag Jia Zhang looks kind at ordinary times, but she is actually very evil behind the scenes! Who knew she would do such a heartless thing!"

Everyone was frightened by Sha Zhu's momentum and immediately became quiet.

Sha Zhu helped Qin Huairu up and said softly, "Huairu, don't listen to their nonsense. You have suffered enough. I will take care of you and the children in the future."

Qin Huairu raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu with tearful eyes. Sha Zhu's eyes were so sincere and warm that they gave her a glimmer of hope in her despair.

At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in Qin Huairu's mind: "Do you want to change your destiny? Do you want to protect yourself and your children? I can help you..."

Qin Huairu suddenly raised her head and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Qin Huairu asked in horror.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you..." The voice sounded again, but with a hint of temptation, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I can make you the most powerful woman in the world..."

Qin Huairu's heart began to beat violently. She didn't know where the voice came from, nor did she know whether it was true or false, but she couldn't help wanting to believe it...

Qin Huairu felt her eyes go dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground. The master was quick to support her, his eyes wide open, and he pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed: "Poisonous woman! Do you still have any humanity?! Banggeng is your grandson!"

Jia Zhang was frightened by the roar of the eldest master and shrank back for a moment, but soon she stiffened her neck and shouted, "What did I do? This little bastard just wants to slander me! Maybe he stole something unclean and deliberately put the blame on me!"

"You..." The old man was so angry that his beard was shaking, and his fingers were trembling as he pointed at Jia Zhang.

"That's enough!" Qin Huairu pushed Jia Zhang away and said in a hoarse voice, "At this point, you still want to lie! Bang Geng has already said that it was you who put the white powder in his porridge. What else do you have to quibble about?!"

"I...I was..." Jia Zhang's eyes flickered and she stammered, unable to speak.

"You want to poison Bang Geng to death, so that you can take his pension, right?!" Xu Damao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. He squinted at Jia Zhangshi, his tone full of sarcasm, "I've seen it a long time ago. You old hag, your heart is smaller than the eye of a needle. You can do anything for money!"

Jia Zhang was exposed by Xu Damao, and she was immediately furious. She pointed at Xu Damao's nose and cursed: "Bullshit! When did I ever want to monopolize Banggeng's pension? You dead eunuch, you can't eat grapes, but you say the grapes are sour. You see that I am an old woman with pity, so you throw dirty water on me!"

"You..." Xu Damao's face turned blue after being scolded by Jia Zhang. He was about to retort but was stopped by the second uncle beside him.

"Alright, alright, stop talking!" The second uncle waved his hand impatiently, "The matter has not been clarified yet, why are you arguing?"

"That's right. The most important thing now is to get Bang Geng to the hospital!" Uncle Three also echoed, "It will be too late if we delay any longer!"

Then everyone remembered that Bang Geng had been poisoned, and they hurriedly lifted him up and ran towards the hospital.

Qin Huairu followed closely behind, looking at Banggeng, whose face was pale and lips were purple, and her heart was broken. She never thought that the son she had raised with so much effort would suffer such a cruel fate!

And all this was caused by her vicious mother-in-law!

......

In the hospital, the doctor performed an emergency gastric lavage on Bang Geng and finally saved his life.

Qin Huairu stood by the bed, looking at the weak Bang Geng, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Banggeng, how are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Qin Huairu held Banggeng's hand, her voice choked with sobs.

Bang Geng shook his head weakly and looked at Qin Huairu with fear in his eyes: "Mom, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, Mom is here and I will protect you." Qin Huairu hugged Bang Geng in her arms, patted his back gently, and comforted him softly.

Bang Geng gradually calmed down in Qin Huairu's arms. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Mom, I don't want to see grandma anymore. She's so scary..."

Qin Huairu's body stiffened. She raised her head and looked at the dark night sky outside the window. A look of determination flashed in her eyes.

......

The next morning, Jia Zhang was taken away by the police.

It turned out that last night, Qin Huairu took advantage of the cover of night and sneaked into Jia Zhang's room, found the bottle where she hid the arsenic, and then took the bottle to the police station to report the case.

Jia Zhang was unable to defend himself and was eventually arrested by the police for intentional homicide.

When the news reached the courtyard, everyone was talking about it, and they were all shocked and indignant at Jia Zhang's vicious behavior.

"I knew it, this old hag doesn't look like a good person. I didn't expect her to be so vicious that she even harmed her own grandson!"

"You can't judge a person by his appearance! He looks kind and gentle, but he actually did such a heinous thing behind his back!"

"Serves them right! People like this should be severely punished by law!"

......

After Jia Zhang was arrested, life in the courtyard seemed to have returned to normal, but Qin Huairu knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Because she is going to fight back...

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang being taken away by the police, with a sneer on her face. This old woman had been domineering for most of her life, and finally got her retribution! She, Qin Huairu, was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated by others!
