Chapter 322: Qin Huairu was afraid
As the Liu father and son tore at the Jia family mother‑in‑law and daughter‑in‑law, gasps of cold air kept flying out of the neighbors' mouths.
The scene before them.
It greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Mainly it was the miserable state of Jia Zhangshi.
It shattered the invincible, shameless image she held in the neighbors' hearts.
As the notorious shrew of the siheyuan, Jia Zhangshi truly lived up to the four words "hated by people, annoyed by dogs." Out of the twenty‑seven or twenty‑eight households, aside from the deceased Long Laotaitai and the Yi Zhonghai family, the vast majority of the remaining residents did not want any quarrel with Jia Zhangshi.
The years Qin Huairu spent after marrying into the Jia family.
What kind of life she led.
The neighbors present were all witnesses.
In every respect they were controlled by Jia Zhangshi.
Several years after Jia Dongxu's death, did Qin Huairu really not want to remarry?
Nonsense.
But because of Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable meddling and pestering, Qin Huairu had to put aside her thoughts of remarrying and toil willingly for the Jia family.
Tonight.
In front of all of them.
Qin Huairu staged a grand drama of the daughter‑in‑law turning the tables and singing, successfully giving the wicked mother‑in‑law Jia Zhangshi a lesson.
She beat Jia Zhangshi.
The beating wasn't the root cause.
The root was that she beat Jia Zhangshi so miserably, making everything look unsatisfactory.
Her hair was disheveled like a madwoman's; her clothes, aside from mud and dirt, still bore traces of chicken droppings and dog feces, making her look like a mole rat rolled out of a dirt pile. Her face bore the marks of slaps and scratches from fingernails; thanks to her age, if this had happened to a young unmarried girl, she would probably be ruined for life. The corners of her mouth were split, and blood flowed from beneath her nostrils—she looked as wretched as one could be.
Really fucking ruthless.
Qin Huairu was venting all the resentment she had accumulated over the years in the Jia family, letting it out in one go tonight.
As the saying goes: "Those who are not of the same family do not enter the same door."
Just because of Qin Huairu's ruthless vigor.
In a few decades, she will surely become a Jia Zhangshi who is not Jia Zhangshi.
It looks like.
The tradition of the Jia family's wicked mother‑in‑law.
Cannot be discarded.
I just don't know whether Bangeng, as the Jia family's legitimate heir, will inherit the Jia men's habit of dying young.
The neighbors who worried that Bangeng's future wife might become a widow, amid a hoarse shout like a broken gong, turned their eyes in the direction of the sound and landed on Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi's complexion was very unpleasant.
That's right.
Being beaten up in public by the daughter‑in‑law she had always kept under control, she surely felt angry inside—no wonder her face looked ferocious and her eyes vicious.
Clearly he is fucking unwilling.
How long ago.
The notorious shameless player of the siheyuan, Jia Zhangshi, when had she ever suffered such a big loss, especially from her former daughter‑in‑law, who beat her in front of all those neighbors, trampling her face into the mud—anyone would be furious.
I just don't know how Jia Zhangshi will cause a scene.
What cards does she still have left to play?
Could it be that she's going to leak secrets?
If Jia Zhangshi hadn't just revealed some secrets, the neighbors would never have known that Qin Huairu would drug Jia Zhangshi, knock her out, and then, under the cover of night, fool around with Yi Zhonghai in the siheyuan.
Once the words were spoken.
Everyone was startled.
Though they had originally doubted it, Qin Huairu's furious, violent beating of Jia Zhangshi ended up corroborating Jia Zhangshi's claim.
The Jia family members.
Or perhaps Qin Huairu.
It truly keeps refreshing their view of the bottom line of human nature.
Cupping their ears.
Listening to Jia Zhangshi's voice.
"Qin Huairu, don't think that just because Yi Zhonghai is dead, my son's affair is over; as long as I live, this matter will not be finished."
She had intended to press the advantage, using the beating of Jia Zhangshi to completely seize the fifteen hundred yuan Qin Huairu held in her hand, but upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, she instantly lost her composure and her mind went into turmoil.
Jia Dongxu's death.
It really does have a certain connection with her.
If Qin Huairu had not taken revenge on the Jia family and been fooling around with Yi Zhonghai, she could not have become pregnant with Huaihua.
Precisely because she had Huaihua.
Only then did Yi Zhonghai feel there was no need to keep wasting time, energy, and money on Jia Dongxu; with a daughter to support his old age, why keep an apprentice? He devised the trick of increasing output and workload to force Jia Dongxu to turn against him.
If Yi Zhonghai had not done that.
Perhaps Qin Huairu's affair with him would not have become known to Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu, who was not particularly foolish, initially mistakenly thought Yi Zhonghai wanted to improve his skill level and raise his rank by one. Later he realized it was not so; Yi Zhonghai had in mind another choice for his old‑age support. He investigated thoroughly, probing from all angles, and eventually found Qin Huairu's underwear in Yi Zhonghai's home, learning that he had been cuckolded and that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai had been fooling around and had a child—an embarrassing situation.
After learning these things.
Jia Dongxu made a mistaken decision, using this matter to blackmail Yi Zhonghai; in the end Yi Zhonghai hardened his heart to kill and, taking advantage of an accident, murdered him.
One month after Jia Dongxu's death, Qin Huairu, as she had wished, took over his position and entered the factory; while chatting idly with Yi Zhonghai, she learned from him the truth that Jia Dongxu had been murdered.
Out of consideration for certain interests.
Qin Huairu did not report this matter to the factory or the police station, nor did she confide the truth to Jia Zhangshi; she chose to conceal it.
Who let Qin Huairu earlier say to Yi Zhonghai that it would be fine if Jia Dongxu were dead?
She was wary of these.
Once Jia Zhangshi is investigated and prosecuted, the relevant authorities will pursue responsibility, and Qin Huairu will inevitably have to spend several years in prison.
Just thinking about herself being trapped in a miserable prison.
She became afraid.
After throwing out a harsh remark, she hurriedly wanted to leave the scene, thinking about the matter, worried about being discovered; she walked quickly, the road was uneven, and inattentively she fell hard to the ground.
She fell flat, forming a big shape like the character for 'big'.
Nobody could bear to watch.
Disgusting.
Some people with poor appetites even vomited.
If this person offends a taboo, even heaven itself would not be able to look on and would step in to punish you.
Qin Huairu, who had fallen to the ground, was fine everywhere except her mouth, which happened to land squarely on Little Yellow's excrement.
Such intimate contact.
It cannot be described by a single good word.
"Mom, is Aunt Qin hungry? Why is she eating feces? Our teacher said we mustn't eat feces; it's dirty."
A tender child's voice.
Like a knife.
It fiercely slashed Qin Huairu's heart.
"Hahaha, Qin Huairu, this is the retribution for being unfilial."
A hearty laugh rang out.
It was Jia Zhangshi.
Seeing Qin Huairu actually enjoy such a miserable treatment, she couldn't help but feel joy rise from her heart; the depression from being beaten by Qin Huairu disappeared completely.
"You deserve to suffer retribution; you've seized our Jia Family's job, and you're still unfilial to me, your former mother‑in‑law—you deserve it."
