Yu Li's utterly fierce, having gone all out.

Yu Li's utterly fierce, having gone all out.

It gave Jia Zhangshi unlimited intimidation, frightening Laoqianpo so that she felt inexplicably uneasy to some extent, worried for her own safety, and she hurriedly tried to reason with the villagers present.

It gave Jia Zhangshi unlimited intimidation, frightening Laoqianpo so that she felt inexplicably uneasy to some extent, worried for her own safety, and she hurriedly tried to reason with the villagers present.

Saying that Jia Zhangshi's life is worthless while Yu Li's life is valuable, and if Yu Li were to take Jia Zhangshi's life, she would end up dead and gone.

Shazhu will not let these people off; he will surely resent them for not stopping Yu Li from committing the act, angering Shazhu, and you will not have a good outcome.

What Jia Zhangshi's words mean is that you're not saving me, Jia Zhangshi; you're actually saving your own fate.

Upon careful consideration, these words do hold some truth; the villagers may disregard Jia Zhangshi, but they cannot disregard Yu Li.

Who made Yu Li Shazhu's wife and also gave her a brother-in-law who holds a top position at the office?

Translation: "The meaning in Jia Zhangshi's words is that you are not saving Jia Zhangshi, but saving your own fate." Keep: "you are not saving Jia Zhangshi, but saving your own fate."

Having believed Jia Zhangshi's nonsense, they redoubled their efforts to stop Yu Li, not letting her pile of crap ruin their future.

Translation: "After pondering these words, they do make some sense; the villagers may disregard Jia Zhangshi, but they cannot disregard Yu Li." Keep.

"Yu Li, what Jia Zhangshi says makes sense, but you must not let her ruin you."

"What happened? Tell us, and if Jia Zhangshi truly did something that arouses heaven's anger and public resentment, we'll help you deal with her."

"Inwardly sighing that Jia Zhangshi is a good-for-nothing who fails at success but excels at failure, scheming as they do, you slyly hid your schemes a bit, but when scheming against others you ultimately exposed yourself, and then staged a farce of being pursued and blocked at the door."

Translation: "Having believed Jia Zhangshi's nonsense, they redoubled their efforts to stop Yu Li, not letting Yu Li ruin their future over Jia Zhangshi's pile of dog shit." Keep.

"It hit Jia Zhangshi square in the face."

Translation: "\"Yu Li, what Jia Zhangshi says makes sense; you must not ruin yourself over Jia Zhangshi. \"" Keep quotes.

"That's as far as the conversation goes."

Translation: "\"What happened? Tell us; if Jia Zhangshi truly did something that arouses heaven's anger and human resentment, we will together help you deal with Jia Zhangshi. \"" Keep.

"Third Aunt, villagers, I originally didn't want to say this, but the Jia family has been too bullying. I married into the courtyard house nearly twenty years ago; everyone knows how our family gets along with the villagers and with the Jia family. This shameless old woman, just because our head of household couldn't fulfill her wish to renovate the courtyard house, and also because of the Bargeng incident, the leaders say it's typical—how can our head of household help you? Are we supposed to send him himself to jail?"

"Jia Zhangshi, say something—hurry up and apologize to Yu Li."

"That old woman is really ruthless—she's trying to destroy Xianghong."

Translation: "It precisely struck Jia Zhangshi's face." Keep.

"They quickly chimed in."

Translation: "Having come to this point." Keep.

"After Yu Li left."

"Stemming from this thought, Yu Li's voice carried a hint of strong emotion."

"If it were them, they'd also have to fight Jia Zhangshi to the death."

Translation: "\"Jia Zhangshi, say something, hurry up and apologize to Yu Li. \"" Keep.

"It's about figuring out how you, Jia Zhangshi, provoked Yu Li."

Translation: "Laoqianpo is truly ruthless; she's trying to destroy Xianghong." Keep.

"It's because of these things that Jia Zhangshi bears a grudge against our He family; that's why we moved—our head of household heard rumors that Jia Zhangshi wanted to take out her anger on our children, thought he couldn't provoke her but could avoid her, so we moved."

Translation: "They quickly followed suit and echoed." Keep.

"If you're still not resigned to opposing our family, trying to trip us up, come at us openly, aim at us as a couple—no matter what tactics you use, we'll take them. But if you aim your schemes at our children, don't blame me for not warning you: there are plenty of ways to deal with you. Don't forget, Bargeng won't stay locked up forever; he'll get out. If you can't handle me, you can still handle Bargeng."

Translation: "After Yu Li left." Keep.

"What needs to be done now."

Translation: "Stemming from this thought, Yu Li's voice carried a hint of strong, rendered emotion." Keep.

"Otherwise, how would we explain Yu Li, who is fighting her to the death right before our eyes?"

Translation: "If it were them, they would also have to fight desperately against Jia Zhangshi." Keep.

"Despite swearing an oath not to reveal this, it ended up being leaked anyway."

Translation: "It is to figure out how Jia Zhangshi provoked Yu Li." Keep.

"They took a stance against Yu Li."

Translation: "\"It's precisely because of these things that Jia Zhangshi bears a grudge against our He Family; why did we move? Because our head of household heard rumors that Jia Zhangshi wanted to take out his anger on our children, thought he couldn't provoke them but could avoid them, and so moved. \"" Keep.

"Serves them right!"

Translation: "\"If you still aren't resigned to opposing our family and want to trip us up, come openly, come at us as a couple; no matter what means you use, we as a couple will withstand it. But if you aim your schemes at our children, don't blame me for not warning you—there are plenty of ways to deal with you. Don't forget, Bangeng won't stay locked up forever; he'll get out. If we can't deal with you, we can deal with Bangeng. \"" Keep.

"Yu Li, taking in every expression on the villagers' faces."

Translation: "What needs to be done now." Keep.

"What Jia Zhangshi can understand, the villagers can see even more clearly."

Translation: "Otherwise, how would we explain the Yu Li who is fighting desperately before our eyes?" Keep.

"Her tone also turned indignant."

Translation: "Although they swore to keep it secret and said they wouldn't spread it, it eventually got out." Keep.

"It's that the villagers misunderstood the reason for Qin Hai-ru's argument with Jia Zhangshi."

Translation: "They assumed a stance toward Yu Li." Keep.

"The Dog Egg Maiden, whom she used as a shield, seeing Jia Zhangshi about to scold someone, quickly stepped forward and cursed back with foul language at Laoqianpo's vulgarities."

Translation: "Serves them right!" Keep.

"Helpless, Yu Li spat her own saliva at Jia Zhangshi as a weapon."

Translation: "Yu Li took in the villagers' expressions fully." Keep.

"But unable to break free from the villagers' restraints, Yu Li could only think of another way."

Translation: "What Jia Zhangshi can see clearly, the villagers can see even more thoroughly." Keep.

"Her thoughts stirred."

Translation: "Their tone also became indignant." Keep.

"She glanced around at the surrounding villagers."

Translation: "It was the villagers who misunderstood the reason for Qin Huairu's argument with Jia Zhangshi." Keep.

"She pushed aside the Dog Egg Maiden blocking her front."

"After Qin Hai-ru washed her face and turned around, Jia Zhangshi was already licking the soup inside the lunch box with her tongue."

"They had perfected a plan to surveil Jia Zhangshi from inside the courtyard to outside, leaving no blind spots."

Translation: "Helpless, Yu Li spat her own saliva at Jia Zhangshi as a weapon." Keep.

"Only then did the villagers on the scene feel relieved about this matter."

"Jia Zhangshi hid behind the Jia family, and Yu Li also lost the courage to settle things with her once and for all."

Translation: "Her thoughts stirred." Keep.

"Several other aunts sped up their efforts to snatch the brick from Yu Li's hand, finally succeeding in separating the brick from her hand."

Translation: "Her gaze swept over the surrounding villagers." Keep.

"I thought that would be the end of it, but I didn't expect the Jia family's old woman—she's inhuman. We all fled the Jia family, yet she still won't let our He family off and wants revenge on our children. Today, Yu Li has gone all out, using her life to trade for Jia Zhangshi's life."

Translation: "She pushed aside the Dog Egg Maiden blocking her front." Keep.

"If Jia Zhangshi schemes again, the villagers will at least find out first."

Translation: "When Qin Huairu finished washing her face and turned around, Jia Zhangshi was already licking the soup inside the lunch box with her tongue." Keep.

"Considering all aspects of the conditions."

Translation: "They achieved a perfect plan to surveil Jia Zhangshi from inside the courtyard to outside, leaving no blind spots." Keep.

"Someone also suggested that, behind Shazhu and his wife's backs, Jia Zhangshi had signed up Shazhu's children for the countryside relocation, and that this too ought to be told to Qin Hai-ru."

Translation: "Only then did the villagers on the scene feel relieved about this matter." Keep.

"Otherwise, why let Weiguo and Xianghong go their separate ways?"

Translation: "After Jia Zhangshi hid in the Jia Family, Yu Li also lost the courage to settle the score with her." Keep.

"This was Qin Hai-ru's dinner; she couldn't bear to eat it, planning to reheat it when she got home, but Jia Zhangshi ate it instead, and the exasperated Qin Hai-ru lashed out at Jia Zhangshi."

Thus: "... register for the countryside relocation at the Jiēdào? And send our Weiguo to Dongbei and our Xianghong to Northwest—is the Jia Family's misfortune revenge visited upon our He Family's heads?" Keep.

"Little did they know."

Translation: "Little did they know." Keep.

"It's not worth sacrificing herself over Jia Zhangshi's worthless life; she directed a few harsh words at Jia Zhangshi hiding in the Jia household, expressed her thanks to the villagers present, and strode away under their watchful eyes."

Translation: "Is now the time to seriously compare a dog's brain with a human's brain?" Keep.

The quarrel wasn't for the neighbors; it was because Qin Huairu had just set down her satchel and gone to wash her hands and face, and Jia Zhangshi seized the moment when Qin Huairu wasn't paying attention, slipped into the inner room, stole Qin Huairu's lunchbox from the satchel, opened it, saw inside a small half portion of meat dishes and two large white flour steamed buns, didn't mind that it was cold, and gulped it down in a few quick bites.

As they chatted, everyone began to come up with ideas, an alliance specifically targeting Jia Zhangshi formed, with people inside the courtyard watching Jia Zhangshi and people outside the courtyard also watching Jia Zhangshi.

"Neighbors, it's not that I, Yu Li, am stirring up relations between you and the Jia family; I just can't bear to see our family's misfortune repeated among you. Think about it: Jia Zhangshi can scheme against our old He family like this, and she can scheme against you too. Be careful, don't invite bad luck for no reason, letting your own children suffer a hidden loss."

They gathered in the front courtyard at Yan Fugui's house, chatting freely, discussing what had just happened, saying that Jia Zhangshi is inhuman.

Behind them were the annoyed, bewildered neighbors.

The neighbors really had no way to deal with Jia Zhangshi.

Goudan's mother gave Jia Zhangshi a stern reprimand, telling her to be quiet, then asked Yu Li what had happened, why she was so furious.

They also blamed Jia Zhangshi for doing something too indecent.

Seeing everyone's hostile looks, Jia Zhangshi quickly hid inside the house, refusing to come out; she understood the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer immediate loss, and she was worried about getting beaten.

Qin Huairu neither said good nor bad, she threw out the harsh words that Jia Zhangshi is Jia Zhangshi and she Qin Huairu is Qin Huairu, then swayed her big butt into the courtyard.

Seeing herself attacked by Yu Li's spit, Jia Zhangshi still thought of retaliating with foul words, to vent the depression of being publicly spat on by Yu Li.

It's just sheer luck.

Jia Zhangshi promptly shut her mouth.

Only when the Jia family started arguing did the neighbors relax, thinking that Qin Huairu had gone to settle scores with Jia Zhangshi.

Yu Li pointed at Jia Zhangshi's nose and recounted the shameful deed Jia Zhangshi had done behind her and her husband's backs yesterday afternoon.

Taking advantage of the atmosphere.

Even ten Jia Zhangshis bound together wouldn't be a match for Shazhu and his wife.

A typical troublemaker.

In the end, the neighbors rejected her.

As a divorced single mother with a child, she can't even find a partner.

"Goudan's mother is right; my life is cheap, your life is precious, Yu Li, you're not worth risking your life for my wife."

In the end, it landed on Jia Zhangshi's face.

In terms of strength.

"Look at the Jia family now; whoever gets involved with them suffers bad luck. We might as well treat it like accidentally stepping on a pile of dog shit on the road and just ignore her."

Next door in the big courtyard there is a living, tragic example.

A fine young lady went alone and came back with three people, leading two children and still pregnant with another.

Each had their hearts in their throats, thinking Yu Li's words made sense, wondering how to give Jia Zhangshi a show of force.

Seeing that Yu Li had no weapon in her hand, Jia Zhangshi felt her life was safe; her previously timid, lumpish body now felt like an inflated balloon, and she felt light as air.

By now.

"Jia Zhangshi, today I'm giving the neighbors face and won't quarrel with you. I warn you: our moving out doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble; we just don't want to gain a reputation for bullying the weak."

As a result, they ran into a meddlesome person.

Evening.

The voice rose.

The neighbors all sucked in a breath of cold air.

They threatened Jia Zhangshi's Yu Li with Bangeng.

"Bangeng's grandmother, if you've made up your mind, just shut up obediently; if you want to die, go ahead and curse me boldly, and we neighbors won't interfere."

Jia Zhangshi lowered her head guiltily.

"Shazhu's wife, are you crazy? What did my wife do to you? Without asking right or wrong, you want to smash my wife's head with a brick, and you say it's a dog's head. I tell you, it's a hundred percent a human head, a perfectly fine human head—why do you say it's a dog's head?"

Jia Zhangshi can resent Shazhu, direct her revenge toward his children, or resent the neighbors inside the courtyard; after all, when Bangeng got into trouble earlier, Jia Zhangshi wandered all over the big courtyard, begging the neighbors to sign and stamp a joint petition to save the Jia family's Bangeng.

Looking at Jia Zhangshi.

After Yu Li's reminder.

Even if she doesn't know what happened, is she still Jia Zhangshi?

I thought this matter was absolutely secret, and even gave a word of caution to that street office official, not to let the other party reveal that I had gone to the street office to sign up Shazhu's children for the rural relocation.

Worried that Yu Li would take Jia Zhangshi's life, several neighbors, using all their strength, each grabbed Yu Li's leg, waist, and hand.

She turned her face to the neighbors, stirring them up, preparing to isolate Jia Zhangshi, and even had the idea of diverting disaster eastward.

"What Jia Zhangshi said is right; she's now a lost cause, why bother with her when your days are fine? Shazhu is so capable, and Weiguo and they are so sensible—you're not worth trading lives with Jia Zhangshi."

At twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, she is usually introduced to bachelors in their forties or widowers in their fifties, and the children are already in their twenties.

"Your Jia family is a family, so is our He family not a family? It's not that we, the heads of household, refuse to help; it's that we, the heads of household, can't help with this either. Ask the neighbors: when the people in the courtyard encounter problems, when have we, the heads of household, ever shirked? If we can help, we help; if we can't, we don't."

Probably because we just suffered a hidden loss.

Yu Li just wants the neighbors to know that Jia Zhangshi is the courtyard's filthy dog shit.

She's a bit annoyed by Jia Zhangshi's brainlessness.

Only then did they understand why Yu Li was so angry.

She tried as much as possible to hide her body behind Goudan's mother.

Several neighbors trying to mediate.

After shifting their tone, they began to talk about matters concerning the neighbors' interests.

Everyone, out of consideration for their own interests, will also closely monitor Jia Zhangshi's every move.

Yu Li said a lot.

She finally became the person she hated, spewing whatever vicious words she could at Jia Zhangshi.

A kind-hearted person at the courtyard gate, in front of the coming and going neighbors, recounted in detail everything Jia Zhangshi had done, telling Qin Huairu to go home and properly educate Jia Zhangshi so she wouldn't do these hateful things again.

In terms of status.

No wonder Yu Li got so worked up.

Marry over and directly become a mother-in-law.

The words are rough, but the reasoning is sound.

Yu Li, who had been persuaded with difficulty, eased her resentment toward Jia Zhangshi a little; seeing that she wasn't struggling much, Jia Zhangshi retorted with a sentence that stabbed at the heart, making Yu Li instantly flare up in anger, once again stirring the desire to tear Jia Zhangshi's heart.

Jia Zhangshi thought that Yu Li had scolded her, Qin Huairu had also scolded her, she began to talk back, thinking to vent all the anger she had suffered at Yu Li's hands onto Qin Huairu.

The elderly widow Jia Zhangshi and the middle-aged widow Qin Huairu started exchanging harsh words.

They say Qin Huairu is ungrateful, Jia Dongxu is dead, and she doesn't even bother with me—she's an unfilial beast.

Qin Huairu scolded Jia Zhangshi, saying she does nothing all day but cause trouble for her as much as possible, saying if she wants to take revenge on Shazhu, she should do it properly; since she didn't succeed, she even let people come to her door, all filing complaints against Qin Huairu, letting Qin Huairu properly discipline Jia Zhangshi.
