Chapter 441: Slapped Jia Zhangshi Twice

Facing the utterly shameless Jia Zhangshi.

Shazhu didn't waste words; he directly used his big palm to tell Jia Zhangshi what serious consequences are.

He raised his hand high, simply moved his wrist, then swung hard at Jia Zhangshi's cheek.

With a crisp slap sound, Shazhu's right hand left a clear five-finger mark on Jia Zhangshi's chubby cheek.

The huge force sent Jia Zhangshi staggering; Laoqianpo sat down heavily on the ground.

When the neighbors came to their senses.

They found Jia Zhangshi's cheek already swollen.

Jia Zhangshi thought she could extort money, not bothering to get up from the ground; she kept the state she was in after being slapped, wailing loudly while listing Shazhu's faults—either he bullied widows, disrespected elders, or didn't treat her as a neighbor—and pointing at her swollen cheek, she asked the neighbors to judge who was at fault, her or Shazhu.

Having witnessed the whole incident, the neighbors naturally could not side with Jia Zhangshi in blaming Shazhu.

Facing the Jia family.

They became friends who weren't really friends.

If they really drove the Jia family away, the Jia family's house would also become the neighbors' target.

From a moral standpoint, they began to retort at Jia Zhangshi again and again.

Jia Zhangshi cried even harder.

She had thought the neighbors could help her deal with Shazhu.

The result was that they all turned against Jia Zhangshi.

After cursing a few neighbors, she began cursing Shazhu, spewing all kinds of vulgarities, firmly saying Shazhu would be killed, that Yu Li would become a widow, and that Weiguo and the others would also come to a bad end.

It involved his wife and children.

Shazhu naturally couldn't endure any longer; he raised his big palm again.

Against Jia Zhangshi, he had just one strategy.

Hit!

No matter how harshly Jia Zhangshi cursed, Shazhu had just one idea: hit Jia Zhangshi to see whether her mouth was tough or his palm was harder.

With a "pa" sound, Shazhu's right hand fiercely slapped the nonstop cursing Jia Zhangshi's cheek.

He was also a compulsive disorder sufferer.

Just now he had hit Jia Zhangshi's left cheek; feeling her cheeks unbalanced, this time he specifically slapped her right cheek.

One slap.

He slapped both of Jia Zhangshi's cheeks swollen.

Shazhu's mood inexplicably improved a lot.

Facing the slapped, momentarily speechless Jia Zhangshi, Shazhu threw out a harsh line.

"Jia Pozhi, try cursing another sentence? If you curse once, I'll slap you once; I'm not afraid you'll go to the police—let's see whether the neighbors will help you or me. You pointlessly curse my wife and children—what kind of lousy neighbor are you? I'd rather not have neighbors like you."

Times have changed.

Although the siheyuan is still a siheyuan, it is no longer Jia Zhangshi's siheyuan; there is no favoritism from Moral Heavenly Venerable Yi Zhonghai, no suppression by the head of Qin Huairu's Know-Mistake-Correct group, and Shazhu truly doesn't believe Jia Zhangshi could stir up any trouble in the siheyuan.

"I've seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as you, Jia Zhangshi. You ask the neighbors to judge—do you really think people who lend money like you exist? You just show up acting like a big shot; if you have no money, you borrow a house. Who gave you the face? With your reputation, when Bangeng and the widow divorce and come back, do you think any matchmaker will come knocking? I heard Xiao Dang also married someone down there—do you really want to be a grandmother like that? You're forcing your granddaughter to marry someone over ten years older than her."

Bangeng is Jia Zhangshi's weak point.

He immediately fell silent.

This is also because of Shazhu's two slaps.

Jia Zhangshi's mind went dazed from Shazhu's two slaps, her cheeks burning with pain.

Shazhu exerted all his strength, holding nothing back; the slapped Jia Zhangshi initially had no reaction, then felt her face hurt.

Looking at Shazhu's emotionless eyes, she felt infinite panic, grew afraid, and extinguished the idea of extorting money from Shazhu by pretending to be beaten.

Shazhu's unconventional play frightened Jia Zhangshi so much that her later curses and excuses for extortion were swallowed back into her belly.

The harsh reality.

It let Jia Zhangshi see herself clearly.

After the two slaps, Jia Zhangshi finally knew what situation she would face; if she kept nitpicking and trying to extort, Shazhu estimated it wouldn't be as simple as punching her.

Jia Zhangshi ceased her resistance.

Qin Huairu, hiding in the Jia family, could no longer sit still; watching everything through the glass, she saw that the events in the courtyard were the opposite of what she had imagined, and immediately ran out from the Jia household, putting on an act of having just woken up indoors.

Not pretending like that.

Qin Huairu couldn't continue the topic either.

As soon as she came up.

She then gave Shazhu a performance of Zhu Bajie's "reverse strike," accusing Shazhu of hitting Jia Zhangshi, posing as if she were standing up for Jia Zhangshi.

"Shazhu, we're all neighbors in the courtyard, heads down we don't see each other; my grandmother is such an old person, yet you slapped her twice—how can you be so vicious? How dark is your heart? What did my grandmother do to you that you struck her twice?"

Qin Huairu, while speaking.

She reached out and pulled Jia Zhangshi up from the ground.

Looking at Jia Zhangshi, whose face Shazhu had slapped into a pig's head, she suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

Through wind and rain over these years.

It could be said that she had long been manipulated by Jia Zhangshi in every way, and it was rare to see Jia Zhangshi being slapped.

However, she didn't show this excitement on her face; instead, she began asking Jia Zhangshi about her well-being.

Mainly to perform for the neighbors.

Actually, it was just establishing a persona.

"Qin Huairu, why pretend you don't know? Why hit Jia Zhangshi, do you truly not know?" Shazhu changed his tone, saying: "Since you don't know, I'll kindly repeat it for you: this grandmother, acting like a big shot, waited for my He Yuzhu's family and opened her mouth demanding a thousand."

"Even if you borrowed money, you can't hit her."

I said I have no money, yet you, this old lady, keep wanting to borrow a room; from start to finish you've always worn the expression of 'I'm doing this for your sake, He Yuzhu,' as if I'm being cheap, as if I've got water in my brain, rushing to curry favor with your Jia Family? Then you just yell and scold me, scold me as if it doesn't matter; the key point is she scolds my wife, scolds my few children—I slapped her twice—what's wrong with that? Or is it that you, Qin Huairu, want to speak up for your mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi?

Even if my mother-in-law is in the wrong, hitting someone is still wrong; how old is my mother-in-law? If something happens to her—any mishap—can you bear the responsibility?
