Chapter 497

Jia Zhangshi rolled on the ground again, her entire body covered in dirt.

Boom!

The neighbors all laughed.

"Officer Song, we won't pursue this anymore. We've reached a private settlement."

Yi Zhonghai bit the bullet and made his stance known.

He had long since stopped wanting to pursue it; it was Jia Zhangshi, that pig-teammate, who wouldn't let it go. Otherwise, why would Officer Song have brought them back to the subdistrict office?

"Jia Zhangshi, you are being too unreasonable."

"Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Officer Song?"

The Deaf Old Lady detested Jia Zhangshi.

This matter involved Yi Zhonghai; if Liu Honghua's family were brought in and the matter were thoroughly clarified, Yi Zhonghai would definitely be in trouble, and it wouldn't be small!

Jia Zhangshi had to apologize.

She had to let Officer Song vent his anger.

As the Deaf Old Lady spoke, she also struck Jia Zhangshi twice with her cane.

Jia Zhangshi let out a howl from the strikes.

"Officer Song, it was my fault, I was in the wrong. Can't we just stop pursuing this?"

Jia Zhangshi obediently admitted defeat.

"Are you certain you won't pursue it?"

Officer Song stared coldly at Jia Zhangshi.

"I won't pursue it, I definitely won't pursue it anymore!"

Jia Zhangshi nodded repeatedly.

She didn't want to go to the subdistrict office. She was being difficult and unreasonable, and on the surface, she seemed unable to distinguish right from wrong, but in reality, she knew very well who was right and who was wrong!

"Very good!"

"Jia Zhangshi, I am issuing you a stern reprimand."

"..."

Officer Song gave Jia Zhangshi a ten-minute ideological education.

After finishing with her, he turned to face Yi Zhonghai.

"Yi Zhonghai, as the First Elder of the Sihe Academy, you should lead by example, pay attention to your own image, and hold yourself to high standards and strict requirements."

"How have you acted?"

"You introduce potential partners to people in the courtyard; that is a good thing, but you cannot deceive the young ladies."

"If a young lady were to report this to the subdistrict office, it would be effortless to classify your deception as a matter of moral character."

"I will report your matter to Director Wang as a typical case for education and circulate it to the managing elders of every courtyard in the entire district."

After lecturing Yi Zhonghai, Officer Song turned and left.

Yi Zhonghai's face was darker than a pot bottom.

He glared fiercely at Jia Zhangshi.

It was Jia Zhangshi's troublemaking that had made him a typical example of a father and a laughingstock for the entire neighborhood.

He wanted to be famous, but in a high-class way, not as a negative example!

Jia Zhangshi also knew she had caused trouble, so she turned and went home!

The crowd dispersed!

The farce ended.

Everyone had one more topic for after-dinner conversation.

It wouldn't take a day for it to spread to the nearby courtyards.

That evening.

It grew dark.

Most people in the courtyard had gone to sleep.

The Jia family.

"Go to the toilet once, then come back and sleep."

Jia Zhangshi glared at the dejected Jia Dongxu.

The failed matchmaking attempt was a huge blow to Jia Dongxu.

Out of three matchmaking attempts, he had been very satisfied with two, but because of Jia Zhangshi, neither worked out, making him feel like he would be a bachelor for life.

During lunch, he had told Yi Zhonghai that he didn't want to go on any more matchmaking dates.

Jia Zhangshi walked out of the Sihe Academy and arrived beside the toilet.

Whoosh!

Something flew past overhead.

What was that?

Jia Zhangshi was greatly startled.

It was night, and the weather was cloudy, affecting the starlight and moonlight, so visibility was very low; she vaguely saw a blurry shadow.

"What kind of ghost thing is that?"

Jia Zhangshi was terrified.

It definitely wasn't a bird; birds only flew during the day and wouldn't come out at night. Besides, when birds flew, you could hear the sound of wings flapping if they were close.

Such a large black shadow, and not a single sound!

Splash!

Jia Zhangshi stood there and opened the floodgates.

Her pants were instantly soaked through.

A ghost!

Jia Zhangshi froze for a long time before letting out a loud shout and turning to run!

She ran home.

Jia Dongxu was greatly startled; what was that smell?

Immediately after, he discovered that Jia Zhangshi's pants were wet, emitting a strong, pungent odor, and Jia Zhangshi was trembling, her face drained of color.

"Mom, what happened to you?"

Jia Dongxu was angry at Jia Zhangshi.

But Jia Zhangshi was his own mother; if something happened to her, Jia Dongxu couldn't just ignore it.

"A ghost, there's a ghost, a flying ghost just flew over my head."

"Is it your father coming back to find me?"

"Old Jia, I haven't done anything to wrong you."

"I know, you must be worried about our son's marriage. Don't worry, I will definitely find a good wife to carry on the Jia family line."

Jia Zhangshi knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Mom, what are you saying?"

"Where is there a ghost?"

Jia Dongxu felt his neck go cold.

In the middle of the night, what ghost or no ghost?

Isn't this just trying to scare people?

"Dongxu, Mom isn't lying to you, a ghost really flew over my head."

Jia Zhangshi's voice trembled.

The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became.

"Mom, you should change your pants first and get some sleep. You'll be fine when you wake up!"

Jia Dongxu comforted Jia Zhangshi.

A long time passed.

Jia Zhangshi finally managed to calm down slightly.

That night.

Jia Zhangshi was startled awake eight times.
