Chapter 306: Jia Zhang apologizes, Jia Dongxu explodes

"He Great Qing, stop right there."

"Liu Hai, Yan Fu, you two are also Elders of the Sihe Academy. Are you just going to stand by and watch He Great Qing beat someone without doing anything?"

"I'm telling you, if something happens, none of you three Elders will be able to escape responsibility."

"Why aren't you pulling them apart yet?"

The Deaf Old Lady was furious.

The three Elders, together with Jia Dongxu, barely managed to pull He Great Qing away.

"Jia Zhang, I can save you for a moment, but I can't save you for a lifetime."

"I can save you inside the courtyard, but I can't control what happens outside. If He Great Qing beats you outside the courtyard, do you think he might beat you to death?"

"Are you still not going to apologize?"

The Deaf Old Lady questioned Jia Zhang.

In her heart, she was chanting: *Jia Zhang, you must not apologize. You must stand firm to the end; you must let He Great Qing beat you until something serious happens.*

"I, I, I'll apologize, is that not enough?"

Jia Zhang was truly terrified.

"I shouldn't be the only one apologizing. I'm not the only one who was gossiping."

Jia Zhang was unwilling to accept this.

The Third Aunt’s expression changed, and the Second Aunt’s face also looked very ugly. They had both gossiped about He Great Qing, just not in front of Yushui.

What if Jia Zhang started biting back indiscriminately?

Would He Great Qing beat them too?

"Who else?"

He Great Qing shook off the tugging from Yi Zhonghai and the others, asking angrily.

"Third Aunt, I only heard it from her."

Jia Zhang really did start biting back indiscriminately.

"Jia Zhang, stop splashing dirty water on me."

"I only said that a woman named Xiao Bai came to look for He Great Qing. I thought she looked quite pretty, so maybe she was a partner He Great Qing found."

"I was only guessing, and I certainly never said He Great Qing was going to abandon the Sha Zhu siblings."

"It was all Jia Zhang who said that!"

The Third Aunt accused Jia Zhang.

She didn't want to be the scapegoat!

He Great Qing nodded.

He wasn't a madman. The reason he was angry was that Jia Zhang was talking nonsense in front of He Yushui; he had long been mentally prepared for rumors.

"Jia Zhang, do you have anything else to say?"

He Great Qing glared at Jia Zhang.

"There's also the Second Aunt, she said it too, why aren't you going after her?"

Jia Zhang started biting back again.

"Old Lady, you shouldn't have asked me to break up the fight."

Liu Hai complained to the Deaf Old Lady.

"Jia Zhang, have you gone crazy?"

"I admit, I did talk about Xiao Bai, saying she might be a wife He Great Qing found, but I never said He Great Qing was going to abandon the Sha Zhu siblings."

"What I said was the same as the Third Aunt."

The Second Aunt was anxious to defend herself.

"And..."

Jia Zhang wanted to bite someone else.

"Enough."

"Jia Zhang, are you a mad dog?"

"Apologize to He Great Qing, and this matter will be over."

The Deaf Old Lady interrupted Jia Zhang.

If she let Jia Zhang keep biting like this, every aunt, every young lady, and every young wife in the entire courtyard would be dragged into it.

"Mom, just apologize!"

Jia Dongxu felt a wave of frustration.

He understood now; he guessed why He Great Qing was beating people.

Jia Zhang was talking in front of He Yushui!

This was the point!

Otherwise.

Why didn't He Great Qing beat the Second Aunt and the Third Aunt?

Was he afraid?

Definitely not!

He Great Qing had beaten Liu Hai and Yan Fu before, so of course, he dared to beat the Second Aunt and the Third Aunt.

"You little brat, are you still my son?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Jia Zhang was full of anger and took it out on Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was speechless; why was she coming at him?

"Jia Zhang, I'll ask you one more time, are you going to apologize or not?"

The Deaf Old Lady didn't want to deal with it anymore.

Just let He Great Qing beat Jia Zhang to death!

Of course.

She also knew that the possibility was low.

He Great Qing had a violent temper, but he wasn't a madman. When he beat Jia Zhang, he definitely had a sense of proportion and would never beat her to death.

The Deaf Old Lady really hoped for an exception!

"Jia Zhang, you had better think clearly."

"If you don't apologize and He Great Qing beats you again, I won't be able to stop him; I'll only be able to report it to the Street Office."

"From the courtyard to the Street Office, it takes over twenty minutes. Going there and back, plus the time spent at the Street Office, that's over an hour."

"Guess, in that hour, could He Great Qing beat you to death?"

Yi Zhonghai warned Jia Zhang.

"Jia Zhang, don't be a coward!"

Someone shouted.

Who shouted?

Yi Zhonghai was very annoyed, but no one admitted it.

The person who shouted had a strange voice, definitely disguising it on purpose because they were afraid of being recognized—it was someone who enjoyed the spectacle and hoped for chaos!

"Mom, apologize!"

Jia Dongxu urged her again.

"Fine, I'll apologize."

"I was wrong. I won't gossip about you again, and I will never say anything in front of Yushui again."

Jia Zhang was very unconvinced.

But she was truly scared by the beating.

He Great Qing’s furious appearance was second only to Wan Ping'an in terms of intimidation.

"Alright, Great Qing, don't hold a grudge. Yushui must be hungry, waiting for you to go home and cook for her. Hurry home!"

Seeing that the fight was over, the Deaf Old Lady urged He Great Qing to leave.

He Great Qing nodded.

He had beaten Jia Zhang twice, and his anger was mostly vented.

The crowd dispersed.

The Deaf Old Lady called Yi Zhonghai over.

"Zhonghai, Jia Zhang is too good at causing trouble. You've seen it all. Do you still insist on having Jia Dongxu provide for your old age?"

The Deaf Old Lady looked at Yi Zhonghai.

She preferred Sha Zhu.

"Old Lady, Jia Dongxu’s personality is the most suitable."

"Sha Zhu’s personality is too blunt."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

"True, Sha Zhu’s temperament is a bit blunt."

"But a person like him is the most reliable. As long as he recognizes you, no matter what happens to you, he will never abandon you."

"Even if Jia Dongxu is suitable, with Jia Zhang there, if Jia Zhang doesn't agree, do you think Jia Dongxu can provide for your old age?"

The Deaf Old Lady tried to persuade him once more.

Yi Zhonghai fell silent.

Having Jia Dongxu provide for his old age, Jia Zhang was the biggest obstacle.

Not just an obstacle, but a scourge!

In just a few short months, she had made him a negative example among the managing Elders, frequently causing him trouble.

At the Jia household.

Jia Dongxu sat there without saying a word.

A long time passed.

Jia Dongxu looked up.

"Mom, can you stop causing trouble over and over again?"

"Look at yourself, in our courtyard, is there anyone who says anything good about you?"

"If something happens to you, no one in our courtyard will take the initiative to help; they'll all just watch you make a fool of yourself. Do you think that feels good?"

Jia Dongxu complained.

He was truly fed up with Jia Zhang.

He really hoped Jia Zhang could restrain herself.

Being lazy was fine, doing no work was no problem, but the key was to stop making trouble out of nothing and stop adding to his burdens!

Today.

If the Deaf Old Lady hadn't stepped in.

He Great Qing would definitely have beaten her half to death.

"Jia Dongxu, are you still my son?"

"How can you say such things to me? Are you disgusted with me?"

"Heaven, open your eyes! Look at Jia Dongxu, he's an unfilial son. He’s disgusted with me, he thinks I'm a burden."

"Old Jia, look at your good son!"

Jia Zhang let out a wail and started throwing a tantrum.
