Chapter 72: Dong Xu Lost His Bicycle

Well done, Shazhu.

You're simply not acting like a person.

You used your fart to smoke my wife.

Jia Zhangshi, her face turned green, glared at Shazhu with gritted teeth.

Pffft!

Everyone focused their gaze on Shazhu's buttocks, after all he pioneered using farts to deal with Jia Zhangshi.

"What are you looking at me for?" Shazhu said aggrieved, "It wasn't me who farted!"

Xu Daming also looked aggrieved; my fart, yet you insist on pinning it on Shazhu's head.

So either I, Xu Daming, am not worthy to fart in the siheyuan, or I cannot use farts to control Jia Zhangshi. If Shazhu can do it, can't I, Xu Daming, do it too!

"I farted."

"Xu Daming!"

A voice shrill to the extreme.

Showing Jia Zhangshi's anger.

Before, Shazhu used farts to smoke Jia Zhangshi.

Afterwards, it happened that Xu Daming followed suit and also used farts to stink Jia Zhangshi.

The quiet siheyuan.

Because of two insignificant farts, it became lively.

A stroke of divine inspiration.

Definitely a stroke of divine inspiration.

This is more effective than using countless vicious words to retort Jia Zhangshi.

Directly farted.

"Jia old lady, did my fart interfere with your affairs?"

"Why do you insist on walking up to me and farting!"

"You control heaven and earth, yet you still control my farting?"

Jia Zhangshi was speechless.

Didn't know how to answer Xu Daming's questioning.

"Elder, Shazhu and Xu Daming used farts to smoke me; you are the master of our family's Dong Xu, you must help my wife."

Yi Zhonghai silently cursed Jia Zhangshi's mother.

At this moment I recalled that I am the master of your son Jia Dongxu; earlier when I matched Jia Dongxu with Qin Huairu, how could you forget that I, Yi Zhonghai, am your disciple's master?

When using people, face forward.

When not using people, face backward.

"Elder, it's not that I, Xu Daming, used farts to smoke the Jia old lady; rather, I suspect that all the affairs of our siheyuan are caused by the Jia old lady."

Xu Daming wanted to put a big chamber pot on Jia Zhangshi's head; he took the several matters of Shazhu being investigated and the deaf old lady being taken away, and pinned them all on Jia Zhangshi's head.

"I, Xu Daming, am not stirring trouble; I am considering our siheyuan. Since the elder told Jia Dongxu about this wife Qin Huairu, the Jia family old lady has become inhuman."

The surrounding people all nodded.

Jia Zhangshi's change.

They, these neighbors, all saw it with their own eyes.

Other mothers, upon seeing their son marry a new wife, are eagerly awaiting becoming a mother-in-law.

As for Jia Zhangshi, ever since Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu's matchmaking succeeded, Jia Zhangshi has started to act shrewish and unreasonable, completely lacking the joy of wanting to be a mother-in-law.

"I believe that reporting He Daqing for nostalgizing the former dynasty and reporting the deaf old lady as a fish that slipped through the net are both Jia Zhangshi's behind-the-scenes meddling."

Misfortune flew in out of nowhere.

Only a fool would agree.

"Xu Daming, you farted."

Pffft!

Shazhu and Xu Daming shouted the three words in unison.

Not me.

"Who is it?"

"I!" Yan Fugui admitted, "Fart, also, the turbid qi inside the abdomen, discharged downward."

"Let's not talk about the farting; let's talk about this report."

Yi Zhonghai, who had spoken halfway, saw Jia Dongxu come in from outside with his head down and spirit low, and his heart leapt to his throat.

In the morning when he left.

Jia Dongxu left riding his bicycle.

In the evening he returned.

Jia Dongxu returned with both hands empty.

"Jia Dongxu, you wouldn't really have lost your bicycle, would you!"

The cunning Xu Daming.

At a glance he saw through the essence of the matter; just look at Jia Dongxu's dejected appearance, it's clearly the unlucky sight of having lost Shazhu's bicycle.

The enemy is unlucky.

He is happy.

"Xu Daming, you farted; how did our Dong Xu lose his bicycle?"

The overprotective Jia Zhangshi.

He immediately defended Jia Dongxu.

He also felt panicked.

The bicycle is a big item.

If it gets lost.

He felt heartbroken.

"Dong Xu, tell Xu Daming we didn't lose this bicycle."

"Mom, it's lost."

"Yi Zhonghai's heart, if not held back by his chest, might have flown out."

"What's there to fear?"

"What's this?"

"The bicycle is lost."

"This is something worth 1.7 to 1.8 million; even Yi Zhonghai would have to save for over a year to afford it, helping Jia Dongxu get married and lending Shazhu one million, basically draining Yi Zhonghai's savings."

"Dong Xu, what's going on with the bicycle? Is it lost?"

"Master, the bicycle is lost."

"The shrewd Jia Dongxu addresses Yi Zhonghai as 'eldest uncle' in the Dayuan, but as 'master' in the Yagangchang; he makes this distinction to avoid making Yi Zhonghai's life difficult in the Siheyuan."

"Given the bicycle is lost, he dropped the pretense and started playing the emotion card with Yi Zhonghai."

"Jia Family lady, what's your family's bicycle? That's Shazhu's bicycle; Jia Dongxu lost Shazhu's bicycle, so Jia Dongxu should compensate. I recall Shazhu saying this bicycle cost 1.72 million to buy, Jia Family lady, hurry up and pay."

"Jia Family lady, what's your family's bicycle? That's Shazhu's bicycle; Jia Dongxu lost Shazhu's bicycle, so Jia Dongxu should compensate. I recall Shazhu saying this bicycle cost 1.72 million to buy, Jia Family lady, hurry up and pay."

"Xu Daming added fuel to the fire again."

"Ever since failing to snatch Qin Huairu,"

"Xu Daming and the Jia Family are constantly at each other's throats, like needle against wheat awn."

"Shazhu's bicycle, what's it to you, Xu Daming?"

"Shazhu is my brother; can I stand up for him? Don't think I don't know what the Jia Family is thinking—are you trying to pin the lost bicycle on Qin Huairu? Pah, what nonsense."

"Xu Daming's eagerness."

"Instead, it left the bicycle's original owner, Shazhu, out of the matter."

"The least anxious person in the Siheyuan."

"That's Shazhu."

"Others might feel a pang of worry."

"Shazhu doesn't care."

"Grudges have a source."

"Debts have an owner."

"The bicycle Yi Zhonghai borrowed—if the Jia Family doesn't compensate, Yi Zhonghai has to pay."

"A nine-tenths new bicycle ridden for two months."

"About to become a completely new bicycle."

"Not in a hurry."

"Shazhu, acting as if nothing was wrong, watched the Jia and Yi families' drama unfold; Xu Daming joined in, instantly escalating the drama to its climax."

"Jia Family lady, no matter what, the Jia Family must compensate for the bicycle."

"Eldest uncle, you insisted on borrowing this bicycle for the Jia Family despite my wife's objection; you said Jia Dongxu riding it would give him face and that you'd take responsibility if it got lost—now it's lost, you've not only lost face but also dragged the Jia Family's inner affairs into it; you know the Jia Family's situation, eldest uncle, we can't afford to compensate for this bicycle!"
