Chapter 449

That one-eyed old cripple had eaten quite a lot of her food over these past few years.

That live-in son-in-law He Great Qing earned a decent amount every month, but only gave ten yuan; that wasn't enough to do a damn thing.

It would be better if Jia Zhang Shi died.

Xu Damao wasn't Jia Zhang Shi's biological son either, so it was normal that he didn't want to provide for her old age.

Qin Huairu nodded slightly.

Clearly.

She agreed as well.

Lu Jianye stood outside, watching Xu Damao and his group, and couldn't help but smile.

There wasn't a single good person in the Jia family.

Jia Zhang Shi was selfish, greedy, and lazy.

Usually, when she could still move around, no one did anything to her.

But when it came to a critical moment like this, it was a different story.

No one cared about her.

Quite the opposite.

These people all hoped she would hurry up and die.

Especially Bang Geng.

He felt this grandmother was too embarrassing.

He also hated Jia Zhang Shi.

It was all because of this wretched old hag that he had suffered for so many years!

Jia Zhang Shi waited for a long time, but no one came in to save her.

She began to curse loudly.

"A bunch of animals!"

"Bang Geng, are you not going to care about your grandmother anymore? Do you want to watch me die with your own eyes?"

"Oh, Heaven, open your eyes! Take these animals away!"

"Old Jia, Dongxu, look at this! I'm about to be crushed to death!"

As Jia Zhang Shi cursed, she began to wail.

At first, it was to win others' sympathy, but now, she was truly terrified.

If she died just like this, she wouldn't be able to rest in peace.

Her precious grandson had returned, and the good life she wanted was finally coming.

No one in Qin Huairu's family moved.

Instead, quite a few people from the Sihe Academy walked over.

Since it was an earthquake anyway, they could only stay in the courtyard and didn't dare to sleep.

So they went to Xu Damao's doorway to watch the commotion.

Liu Hai Zhong said, "Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, when you two got married, you agreed to provide for Jia Zhang Shi's old age, didn't you?"

"Now that there's an earthquake, you've come out yourselves, and you're not even going to care about her?"

"Bang Geng, are you just going to watch your grandmother die inside?"

Liu Dama also said, "Qin Huairu, you are being too excessive."

"If you treat Jia Zhang Shi like this, when you get old, your own children will treat you the same way."

The two of them felt deeply about this now.

They were once the pride of the Sihe Academy, with three sons.

They used to hold their heads high.

And now?

They were as pathetic now as they were arrogant before.

Their three sons were all useless.

Qin Huairu remained unmoved; instead, she cried and said, "Second Master, Second Mistress, you've misunderstood."

"We ran out just now and didn't have time to go in and save Jia Zhang Shi."

"We can't go in now either."

"The house is clearly about to collapse; if we go in, we're just throwing our lives away."

Bang Geng glared fiercely at Liu Hai Zhong and his wife: "You two are so concerned about Jia Zhang Shi, why don't you go in?"

Meddlesome busybodies.

That old hag Jia Zhang Shi deserved to die.

Liu Hai Zhong and Liu Dama were choked for words.

Them go in?

That wouldn't do.

They had no relation to Jia Zhang Shi anyway.

Besides.

Xu Damao's house was clearly about to be finished.

They would be going in to die.

Qin Huairu and the others could go in to die, as they were Jia Zhang Shi's closest kin.

But them...

At most, they could be considered kind-hearted people.

Yan Bugui's family had all arrived, and Yi Zhonghai and his wife had come too.

They had all heard Liu Hai Zhong's words just now.

They also knew the attitude of Qin Huairu's family.

So no one tried to persuade Qin Huairu to save Jia Zhang Shi anymore.

"Jia Zhang Shi is just getting what she deserves."

"In the middle of the night, instead of sleeping properly, she's engaging in feudal superstition!"

"Exactly, she gave me such a fright just now."

"My little granddaughter is still crying; Jia Zhang Shi is just courting death!"

These people not only didn't save her, but instead kicked her while she was down.

Jia Zhang Shi heard this from inside the room and cursed even louder: "Animals!"

"You bunch of animals!"

"I was just having a nightmare, don't you all have nightmares too!"

"Just you wait, if I die, I won't let you off!"

As Jia Zhang Shi cursed, more of the roof collapsed.

The final roof beam fell, landing directly on her legs.

Jia Zhang Shi was so terrified that she fainted on the spot.

The Sihe Academy finally quieted down.

A few minutes later, the earthquake stopped.

Everyone went back to sleep.

They still had to go to work tomorrow.

Qin Huairu's family finally dared to go in.

Xu Damao had no choice but to go in, despite his reluctance, and carried Jia Zhang Shi out on his back.

Bang Geng didn't dare to go in to sleep; he wanted to go to Lu Jianye's house to sleep.

But he didn't dare.

The Jia family's house in the middle courtyard was now occupied by He Yushui.
