The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Zhang are already over 40 years old, yet they had the heart to do that to them. Look how hungry they made the child!"

"You know what, I feel that Jia Zhang is still charming and open-minded, and her figure is only slightly worse than Qin Huairu's!"

"You kid, I see you're hungry too!"

The people around were pointing and talking at a few people, with a faint smile on their faces from time to time.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both so ashamed that they wished there was a hole in the ground to crawl into. They were eager to vent their anger, but they ended up getting themselves into trouble.

"Well, you have nothing to say, right? The little beasts from your two families were so shameless as to do such a shameful thing. How could they not do something so immoral? What else do you have to say now?"

Jia Zhang looked at them with pride. Qin Huairu, who was listening nearby, felt very ashamed. She also saw what happened in the morning, but she didn't think of helping because she saw Jia Zhang won. If she had helped, her mother-in-law would not have suffered such an insult. Now that she told the story, it would be embarrassing for everyone.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, don't you just want compensation? My son accidentally dropped Jia Dongxu's coffin off the mountain. I admit it. I will compensate you ten dollars, and this matter ends here!"

Liu Haizhong really wanted to beat up Jia Zhangshi and then drag Liu Guangtian into the house and beat him hard with a stick, but it was obviously impossible now, so he could only compromise first.

"Ten dollars? You're sending away a beggar? You two took advantage of me and you want to send me away with ten dollars?"

Jia Zhang looked at him with a sneer.

"The ten dollars is for Jia Dongxu. I admit that we didn't do a good job today, but you want to say that my son took advantage of you on purpose. What evidence do you have? What can she prove if she said she saw it? I also said that you are disrespectful to your elders and deliberately seduced my son!"

Liu Haizhong said calmly, he would never admit it anyway. How could he live as a human being if he admitted it? Even if it was true, he could only say he had never done it.

"You~Okay, you don't admit it, right? Then I'm going to go to the police station and arrest you all. Let's see if you dare to bully our family again."

As Jia Zhang said this, she wanted to run out and call the police, but Yi Zhonghai quickly grabbed her.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, please wait a moment and listen to me."

Seeing that it was Yi Zhonghai who was recruiting people, Jia Zhang did not dare to disrespect him. She could only wait indignantly to see what he would say.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, I think you understand what happened today. I mean we should try to solve this matter in the hospital and not make it public. It would be bad for you, right?"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked at Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, both of whom had already lowered their heads in shame.

Seeing that no one had any objection, Yi Zhonghai continued.

"Since you have no objection, I will tell you a solution to the problem. Please listen to me first. First, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng were at fault first, so they must apologize to Jia Zhang. Is this okay?"

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he paused and looked at the two of them.

"No problem, I agreed for him!"

Liu Haizhong didn't say anything, and Yan Bugui agreed immediately.

"What do you say, Lao Liu?"

Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't respond, Yi Zhonghai asked him again.

"I have no opinion!"

Seeing that things had come to this point, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to agree. No matter how much trouble there was in the courtyard, it would be a small matter. If it was reported to the police station, their family's reputation would be ruined anyway.

"Since you all have no objection, I will continue. You lost Jia Dongxu's coffin. Is this true? The Jia family paid you and you should be compensated if the job was not done properly. Each of your two families should pay twenty yuan."

"What? Twenty dollars? We only took one dollar and fifty cents from her wages and you want us to pay twenty dollars?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he immediately jumped out. Wouldn’t it be like asking for their lives to pay such a large amount of compensation?

"What? Do you have any objections? If you have any objections, then let's go to the police station!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately started screaming.

"Shut up!"

Yan Bugui cursed at Yan Jiecheng, and then said to Jia Zhangshi.

"Second uncle is right. We admit that we didn't do it well."

After hearing what Yan Bugui said, Jia Zhang's anger subsided a little.

"That's pretty much it!"

"That's fine, so let's talk about the next point. This morning, Jia Zhang had a conflict with you because of Jia Dongxu. I'm sure you know what happened between you, but we're all neighbors, and we don't want to make a big fuss. Is it not too much for your family to pay another ten dollars?"

"Not too much!"

Since they had agreed to the first one, the second one would definitely not be a problem. It was just ten more dollars, and neither family had any objection.

"Then let's do this. Each of your two families will pay Jia Zhang 30 yuan, and we'll let this matter go."

Seeing that they had no objection, Yi Zhonghai made the decision directly.

"I don't agree. How can I give ten dollars to a beggar? I, Zhang Cuihua, have been a widow for so many years, and I was ruined by these two little beasts. How can I just pay ten dollars and be done with it?"

At this time, Jia Zhang jumped out to object.

"Then how much do you want?"

Yi Zhonghai asked.

"At least one hundred!"

Jia Zhang asked for a very high price, which scared everyone.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, are you crazy? With a hundred yuan, I can let my son marry ten wives. If you want to blackmail me, then go to the police station. This is impossible!"

After hearing her price, Liu Haizhong couldn't sit still anymore. No matter how high his salary was, he couldn't earn this much.

"Jia Zhang, please speak nicely. If you continue like this, I can't help you anymore. Go find someone else yourself!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at her unhappily and signaled to her, reminding her to stop while she was ahead. This matter was hard to explain. She was the one who started the fight, and she still wanted a hundred yuan. How could it be possible? If she went to the police station, they would definitely try to smooth things over and give both of them a beating and send them back.

"Then how much do you want to compensate?"

After being reminded by Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang also realized that what she was asking for was a bit too much and they would definitely not agree to it.

"I'll pay twenty each! Don't think it's too much. Just treat it as a lesson. Go back and educate your son. Don't go down the wrong path again!"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll send you the money later!"

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he grabbed Liu Guangtian and angrily dragged him towards home. As soon as he passed the hall, he heard Liu Guangtian's screams.

"Dad, Dad, please don't! Ah~ Please spare me, stop hitting me! I know I was wrong!"

Liu Guangtian screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and it was obvious that Liu Haizhong had made a fatal move, which made everyone's eyelids jump. Not to mention Yan Jiecheng, who was shaking all over and almost peed himself.

"I'm going to give you the money now, Jia Zhangshi, you better remember this, we'll see what happens between our two families in the future, humph!"

Yan Bugui counted out forty yuan from his pocket and threw it on the ground, then pulled Yan Jiecheng away.

"Okay, everyone, go away!"

Seeing that the problem was resolved, Yi Zhonghai immediately began to disperse the crowd.

"If you ask me, the first uncle is still the best. The second and third uncles are totally useless!"

"That's right. You can't even handle such a small matter, and you still want to be the boss. If you ask me, Master Yi should be the boss!"

As they walked, everyone discussed the differences between the uncles. After comparing them, they found that Yi Zhonghai seemed more suitable to be an uncle.

Li Wenqiang was watching with great interest, not saying a word the whole time, just watching the fun. He didn't have a good relationship with anyone here, and he didn't want to speak up for anyone and get himself into trouble.

Seeing that everything was fine, he went back directly. Wouldn't it be nice to go back to the villa and enjoy the air conditioning in such a hot day?

"Mom, let's go back!"

Qin Huairu silently picked up the money on the ground, and helped Jia Zhang walk into the house. The two little ones at home were so scared that they hid in the house and dared not come out.

"Humph, they got a good deal today!"

Jia Zhang was very dissatisfied with this result, but she knew that this was the best result Yi Zhonghai could get for her.

"Huai Ru, you have to remember that our family has lost a man. No matter what happens in the future, you have to fight for it on your own, otherwise you will be bullied. Only by letting them know that we are not so easy to mess with can we live a peaceful life, understand?"

Back in the house, Jia Zhang spoke to Qin Huairu earnestly.

"understood!"

Qin Huairu nodded and said with a confused look.

Seeing her like this, Jia Zhang could only sigh. If there was no man left in the family, she would not have swallowed her anger and used her own reputation to do things. If she didn't act more aggressively, how would she live in the future?

This family will still depend on her in the future, so she can't be weak, and she can't give in even if she is right, otherwise people will think that her family is easy to bully. If the two widows are bullied every day, she can imagine what the consequences will be.
