Chapter 311

For the Jia Family.

For Bangeng.

We must take back Qin Huairu's job from her hands; even if it's cleaning toilets at the Yagangchang, it has to be done by the Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi's idea is simply to ruin Qin Huairu's reputation, so that everyone knows she is unfilial to her former mother-in-law and does not care for Bangeng and Xiao Dang.

People will then side with Jia Zhangshi and denounce Qin Huairu.

After pressure is applied to Qin Huairu, she can only surrender meekly and return the Jia family's job to the Jia family.

After Jia Dongxu's accident, Jia Zhangshi kicked up a fuss like this, preserving the Jia family's original job and even making the Yagangchang pay over two hundred extra in compensation.

It can be considered that some experience has been gained.

These few days.

Deliberately stirring up Bangeng and Xiao Dang, stimulating Qin Huairu in every way, just to blow the situation up completely, to the point of no return.

Doing so.

Also being forced into it.

After Yi Zhonghai's death.

The Jia family, inside the Siheyuan, has completely lost its backing, and life gets worse day by day.

The Siheyuan under the authority of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui made Jia Zhangshi doubt for a moment whether this was still the Siheyuan she knew.

The matter of the daughter-in-law being unfilial to the mother-in-law was brought up at the Dayuan meeting, but it ended in futility.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, the two managing elders, said that since this is an internal Jia family dispute, as outsiders they shouldn't get involved, and let the Jia family resolve it themselves.

Solve an eggplant.

Bastard.

Jia Zhangshi, when one plan fails, comes up with another.

Using Bangeng and Xiao Dang to deal with Qin Huairu, giving Qin Huairu the image of someone who neglects her own children, making Qin Huairu look embarrassed.

Inside the Yagangchang, people mock her.

In the courtyard, she is also bullied by Jia Zhangshi.

Qin Huairu really wants to burst into tears and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm onto Jia Zhangshi's face, as if she thinks Jia Zhangshi doesn't know what she's up to.

Qin Huairu, unwilling to sit and wait for defeat, uses Jia Zhangshi's past facts to counter the old hag, and also pins the reason for her own reassignment to the cleaning section onto Jia Zhangshi without hesitation.

The daughter-in-law says she's right.

The mother-in-law says she's right.

Everyone thinks the responsibility lies with the other side.

The Jia family's conflict arises in this way.

Starting from the day after Qin Huairu married An Jiahe, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu began incessantly tearing at each other, using quarrels and fights—simple, unadorned means—to entertain the bland neighbors.

Today is no exception.

After the neighbors have finished dinner.

Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, the former Jia family widows, punctually begin their indispensable daily routine.

"Qin Huairu, come out. As Bangeng's birth mother and Xiao Dang's mother, after remarrying you don't want to take care of the two children; despising them is superfluous, I, the old woman, understand."

Jia Zhangshi's voice is loud.

Want to achieve an effect of stealing the initiative.

Using a loud voice as a means to show one's confidence.

The voice is loud.

Makes sense.

"Palm and back are both flesh; favoring either side is no good. You don't want to fall out with An Jiahe, so you take your anger out on Xiao Dang and Bangeng. Before, I, the old woman, would turn a blind eye, but today I must step forward and seek justice for Xiao Dang and Bangeng, because they bear the Jia surname and are my grandchildren. As their mother you don't protect them; as their grandmother I must back them up."

Same old cliché.

Jia Zhangshi doesn't know how many times she's said it.

In Shazhu's impression.

Not twenty times, but thirty times.

It's just these few lines over and over.

The neighbors are probably tired of hearing it.

"Bangeng is a lump of meat that fell from your body; treating him like this, are you still human? You say I, the old woman, favor boys over girls—look at yourself now, do you really treat Xiao Dang as your daughter? Huaihua is your daughter, but Xiao Dang isn't? How do you treat Huaihua? And how do you treat Xiao Dang? Let the neighbors judge."

Shazhu nodded slightly.

Jia Zhangshi has improved.

Has come up with a new set of words.

Perhaps because she has improved, Jia Zhangshi uses the fact that Qin Huairu is taking care of Huaihua to stir up Bangeng and Xiao Dang's hatred toward their mother.

This grandmother is worthy.

Turned her own grandchildren into weapons to kill enemies.

"You, you're not fit to be Bangeng and Xiao Dang's mother; I, the old woman, have misjudged you, and Xiao Dang and Bangeng have also misjudged you."

If we talk about Jia Zhangshi's strategy.

It is to steal the initiative.

Qin Huairu, attacked by her, then stages a grand counterattack.

First let Jia Zhangshi speak, then, based on her statement, make a targeted explanation, and in the process, at the right moment, put a label on Jia Zhangshi.

"How am I not fit to be Bangeng and Xiao Dang's mother? All these years, hasn't the Jia family been propped up by me, Qin Huairu?"

Pah!

Jia Zhangshi spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground.

Full of contempt for Qin Huairu.

"We Jia Family rely on you to hold things up? Qin Huairu, you really put gold on your own face! When Dong Xu was around, it was our family's Dong Xu who earned money to support the family, supporting you Qin Huairu. And it was our Jia Family who brought you from Qin Village to the city; without our Jia Family, could you have eaten the Yagangchang's commodity grain? Dong Xu had an accident and is gone; I am ill and helpless, so I let you into Yagangchang, but you turned against us, denying us, saying you supported our Jia Family people—our Jia Family people are truly supported by you Qin Huairu!"

Jia Zhangshi's hand patted her own face, taking the opportunity to mock Qin Huairu.

"Qin Huairu, remember, you got into Yagangchang because our family's Dong Xu died; your job was given to you by our family's Dong Xu. Holding our Jia Family's job, yet you claim to earn money and support our Jia Family—your face, Qin Huairu, is truly huge."

Bangeng, as the strongest white-eyed wolf.

Having been subjected to Jia Zhangshi's ideological work for these days.

Adding to that, Qin Huairu these days has indeed discriminated against Bangeng, giving him a cold look.

Bangeng harbored a mass of anger toward Qin Huairu in his heart.

He never forgot what Jia Zhangshi told him: "Bangeng, if you want to be a glorious Yagangchang worker, you must join forces with Jia Zhangshi, defeat Qin Huairu, and take back the work that rightfully belongs to the Jia Family, which Qin Huairu holds."

Bangeng took Jia Zhangshi's words as an imperial decree.

In front of the gathered neighbors, he staged a grand scene of maternal kindness and filial piety.

"Qin Huairu, my grandmother said it right: your current job is standing in for my father Jia Dongxu's job; as my father's only son, I have grown up, so you must return the job to me."

The onlooking neighbors, dumbfounded, could only shout wildly, "What a good fellow!"

The Jia Family never disappointed them; as the Jia Family's legitimate heir, Bangeng repeatedly refreshed the neighbors' understanding of human nature.

He didn't even call "Mom."

He directly called Qin Huairu!

And Xiao Dang, too, is not a thing; although he expressed no opinion, he has always stared hatefully at An Jiahe behind Qin Huairu.

Is she treating An Jiahe as an enemy?

Shazhu faintly saw, from Xiao Dang's eyes, envy, jealousy, and hatred toward Huaihua.
