Chapter 473: The Past Secret Between Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai

You hit me, you hit my old woman, what did my old woman do to you? It's just asking to borrow a few hundred bucks, and you won't lend it, yet you still resort to violence.

Jia Zhangshi, who had originally intended to cause a scene.

A flash of inspiration crossed her mind, giving rise to a fraudulent idea.

She hit herself.

She would have to compensate herself.

Her voice suddenly rose considerably.

My old woman has laid down her words; this matter isn't over. If you don't compensate my old woman a few hundred bucks, she'll go to the street office to sue you and have you thrown in jail.

Jia Zhangshi, who was busy scheming.

She thought her intimidation tactics could scare off Third Aunt.

In the past, Third Aunt, who always regarded Jia Zhangshi as filth, would likely have thought of keeping the peace and taken a step back.

This is one time.

That is another time.

Jia Zhangshi, as soon as she opens her mouth, demands to borrow a few hundred bucks; if not lent, she causes a scene—this is intolerable!

Compared to money.

Reputation naturally doesn't count for much.

Money is important.

Third Aunt gave Jia Zhangshi no pleasant expression, meeting her greedy face with a cold snort.

"Jia Zhangshi, go ahead and sue. Let's see whether the street office comes to arrest you or me. You not only forcibly borrow money, but also try to seize our house by force—this is outright banditry. All the neighbors around have seen you clinging to Old Yan's leg from our household, stubbornly demanding money and the house."

After a few words.

Jia Zhangshi instantly became a deflated balloon.

She wilted.

She glanced at the expressions on the faces of the people around.

A boundless sense of sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart.

You're all pressuring my old woman.

The bitterness in her heart.

She had no idea how to express it.

She paused for over ten seconds.

The necromancer, who had lain dormant in the siheyuan for years, came online.

Jia Zhangshi, feeling wronged.

She called out for Old Jia and Little Jia.

"Heaven, I can't go on living. They're all inhuman, clearly intending to wipe out the Jia lineage. Old Jia, Dong Xu, show your spirits, come up and seize these ungrateful scoundrels, drag them all away, so they can't bully the Jia family anymore. Do you really think the Jia family has no one left? Opposing the Jia family, you'll meet your doom."

In the crowd.

I don't know who.

Just here for the spectacle, not minding if it's a big deal.

They actually pointed at Jia Zhangshi's back.

They deliberately made a teasing remark.

"Neighbors, look who that is? Dong Xu?"

The neighbors, thinking to add fuel to the fire.

Having understood each other's tacit agreement.

They coordinated with each other.

"Dong Xu really showed up; who's that beside him? Uncle Dahai."

"Indeed, it's Uncle Dahai."

"Uncle Dahai, Dong Xu, this has nothing to do with us; it's all Eldest Aunt Jia's idea."

A gentle breeze blew.

Jia Zhangshi then felt her back inexplicably turn chilly.

Adding to that, the neighbors' voices.

A creepy feeling.

It found her.

Her heart gave a jolt.

Could it really be that Old Jia and Little Jia have been summoned? Dong Xu doesn't care; the key is that Old Jia died back then after a falling out with Jia Zhangshi.

In case Old Jia seeks revenge.

Am I not already dead?

He let out a loud 'ah' shout.

His butt felt as if a spring were installed.

His whole body sprang up over a foot off the ground in an instant, he dashed toward the Jia family, his pleading voice tearing through the night sky and flying into everyone's ears.

"Dahai, I have nothing to do with you; never mind my old woman's affairs—I truly didn't mean to anger you. I have nothing with Yi Zhonghai; we have nothing between us. You're just overthinking it. Dahai, don't come after me; go after the neighbors instead—they're all cold-blooded beasts, refusing to lend my old woman money. Our house is about to be lost, and Bangeng has even come back."

Those who remained in the courtyard.

They stared at each other.

You look at me.

I look at you.

Everyone was staring at each other.

How come there's still something about Yi Zhonghai?

From Jia Zhangshi's words, it's clearly a well-known love triangle.

"San Daye."

"That's how it is; I also heard it from others, everyone just treat it as gossip, and if someone causes trouble later, it won't have much to do with me, Yan Fugui."

Yan Fugui, as an elder of the siheyuan.

He recounted that past incident to the neighbors.

One day, for some reason, the Jia family invited a meal; Yi Zhonghai, for some reason, drank too much; plus, the eldest aunt wasn't there, the deaf old lady wasn't there, he inexplicably ended up staying overnight at the Jia family's house; and coincidentally, Jia Dongxu's father, Jia Dahai, was called to the factory yard to do something unknown.

Originally, they were supposed to stay for a whole night.

But then something happened.

Jia Dahai came back early from his night shift, found Yi Zhonghai asleep at the Jia family's house, and kicked up a fuss, insisting that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi had hooked up.

The reason given.

The eldest aunt couldn't bear children, Jia Zhangshi could, and Yi Zhonghai wanted to employ the 'substitute the peach for the apricot' scheme on Jia Zhangshi.

Yi Zhonghai denied it.

Jia Zhangshi also denied it.

"If we had done it, why are our clothes still intact?"

Jia Dahai said Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi heard his return, hurriedly put on their clothes, demanded Yi Zhonghai give him an explanation and Jia Zhangshi give him a statement, otherwise he would drown Jia Zhangshi in a pig basket and bring the matter to the steel factory.

Yi Zhonghai worried the matter would blow up and be uncontrollable.

He agreed to compensate.

When both parties were writing the agreement, for some reason, Yi Zhonghai's pocket produced Jia Zhangshi's undergarment.

Jia Dahai insisted that Yi Zhonghai had slept with Jia Zhangshi.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi saw, her underwear had been taken by Yi Zhonghai.

Moreover, she had also drunk too much.

She mistakenly thought the two had really done something.

She covered her face and wept bitterly.

Afterwards.

According to rumors, Yi Zhonghai compensated a lot of money.

This amounted to, in effect, confirming the fact that Yi Zhonghai slept with Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Dahai complained day after day, saying he had been cuckolded by Yi Zhonghai; while working, he was also absent‑minded; later, for some reason, the rumor spread that Yi Zhonghai had fallen for the honey trap set by Jia Dahai and Jia Zhangshi, making Jia Dahai so angry he wanted to jump up and down; he went home and had a big argument with Jia Zhangshi, took his anger to work, and then an accident occurred.

The people around.

were dumbfounded.

The matter of the Jia and Yi families.

It was also really melodramatic.

"San Daye, is it really that Yi Zhonghai fell for the honey trap set by Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dahai? Or is it that Yi Zhonghai really wanted Jia Zhangshi to bear him a child?"

"I don't know; anyway, there are all kinds of rumors. It's possible that Yi Zhonghai slept with Jia Zhangshi, and when Jia Zhangshi was young, she was also a famous beauty for miles around."

"San Daye, you too have been moved."

"Shazhu, don't talk nonsense; San Daye is not that kind of person."

"Scholars love beauties; you have always considered yourself a man of letters, and Jia Zhangshi happens to be a beauty."
