Chapter 290
"Right, I'll give you another standard for reference: as for how heavy the beating was, just use the standard I used on you two just now. You mother and son had better behave yourselves!"
After Wan Ping'an finished speaking, he turned and went home.
He paid no more attention to Jia Zhangshi and her son.
Ouch!
Jia Zhangshi fell to the ground again.
Wan Ping'an's strikes were too ruthless; she felt like she was about to fall apart.
Yi Zhonghai was right there at the corner of the wall, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
He had come out just a moment ago, but he hadn't dared to show his face. Now, he was extremely relieved; luckily he hadn't appeared, otherwise he definitely would have been beaten along with the Jia family!
Wan Ping'an had gone home.
There was no more excitement to watch.
The crowd also dispersed and went home one after another.
The Liu household.
When Liu Haizhong returned home, he was smiling so hard he couldn't close his mouth.
"Head of the house, why are you so happy?"
The Second Aunt was very puzzled.
She had also taken the children out to watch the excitement; she only felt it was ridiculous and didn't feel particularly happy, so why was Liu Haizhong so pleased?
"You don't understand!"
"On the surface, the one having bad luck is the Jia family."
"In reality, the one having bad luck is definitely Yi Zhonghai."
"Just based on that stupid woman Jia Zhangshi, could she have thought of putting a coffin at Wan Ping'an's doorstep?"
"It must have been Yi Zhonghai instigating it from the shadows. Jia Zhangshi got beaten, and Wan Ping'an even made her pay money. You tell me, can she pay up obediently?"
"Absolutely not, she will definitely go find Yi Zhonghai."
The more Liu Haizhong thought about it, the happier he became.
The compensation money would definitely have to come from Yi Zhonghai, and he might even have to compensate Jia Zhangshi.
A long while later.
Jia Zhangshi had recovered.
Jia Dongxu was no longer in pain either.
The two of them went home.
As soon as they reached the entrance, they were stunned. Where was their front door?
They only saw a pile of debris on the ground. It looked somewhat familiar, and they quickly recognized it: the debris on the ground was their front door after it had been smashed.
Ah!
Jia Zhangshi was instantly enraged.
She had always been the one to kick in other people's doors; now that their own door had been kicked in and smashed by someone else, how could she tolerate it?
"Let's go, find Yi Zhonghai. He must know who did this."
Jia Zhangshi glanced in the direction of the Wan household in the backyard.
She had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Arriving at Yi Zhonghai's house, she smashed directly against the door!
"Is something the matter?"
Seeing the Jia mother and son, Yi Zhonghai felt a headache coming on.
"First Elder, our door was smashed by someone. Did you see who did it?"
Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth.
"It was Wan Ping'an!"
Yi Zhonghai replied.
Many people had seen it at the time.
"Old Jia's coffin is covered in mud and it stinks. Who did that?"
Jia Zhangshi continued to press him.
"Still Wan Ping'an!"
Yi Zhonghai's head hurt even more.
"He kicked in our door and got Old Jia's coffin covered in mud. Why didn't you stop him?"
"How are you acting as the First Elder?"
Jia Zhangshi made up her mind to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze!
Compared to Wan Ping'an, Yi Zhonghai was the soft persimmon.
Besides.
She guessed.
Yi Zhonghai wanted Jia Dongxu to provide for his old age.
That made him even easier to bully.
"This..."
Yi Zhonghai's face hurt.
It was from being hit by Wan Ping'an.
He felt that being the First Elder was too stifling.
Ah!
Jia Dongxu let out a miserable cry.
It was because Jia Zhangshi had stepped on his foot.
Before coming over, Jia Zhangshi had instructed him to act pitiful.
"First Elder, Wan Ping'an just said that we have to compensate him two hundred yuan."
"If we don't pay, he'll beat us once a day, beat one person at a time, and we'll pay one yuan, continuing for over three months."
"First Elder, you must help me."
Jia Dongxu pleaded.
Yi Zhonghai wasn't surprised at all; he had been hiding in the dark corner just now, seeing the whole thing and hearing everything.
One had to admit that Wan Ping'an was truly ruthless!
"I..."
Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to do.
Wan Ping'an wanted to beat people, and he couldn't stop him; if he tried to stop him by force, he would get beaten too.
Yet, this matter couldn't be reported to the subdistrict office, and even less could it be reported to the police.
It was the Jia family who were in the wrong, parking Old Jia's coffin at Wan Ping'an's doorstep first, and as the First Elder of the courtyard, he hadn't managed to stop it in time.
If it blew up.
He didn't know how Wan Ping'an and the Jia family would be handled, but the subdistrict office would definitely punish him first.
He was only acting as the First Elder because the Deaf Old Lady had found someone to pressure Wang Zhuren of the subdistrict office, only then making Wang Zhuren reluctantly agree to let him try.
Wang Zhuren had a huge opinion of him.
He wouldn't indulge him!
It had to be resolved within the courtyard!
How to resolve it?
Since he couldn't control Wan Ping'an, he could only follow his rules.
Either pay the money.
Or get beaten once a day for three months.
"Jia Zhangshi, didn't the factory compensate you with some money?"
Yi Zhonghai chose to pay the money.
Of course, he wouldn't be the one paying it.
"That's the money the factory compensated me with, kept for emergencies."
"If I pay it all to Wan Ping'an, what will I do if I need money?"
