Chapter 6

~6 min read 1,088 words

The Jia family didn't bully the predecessor less; he wanted to collect some interest; the settlement with the Jia family had just begun, and the good show was yet to come.

"Go to jail?"

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"Why don't you go call the police and arrest me?"

"Old thing, you just rushed out to grab my wild ducks, that's highway robbery; call the police, let's see if the police come to arrest you or me?"

"Go call the police!"

"I'll wait at home to be arrested!"

Wan Ping'an laughed and passed by the family of three.

Jia Dongxu just sat up and was kicked down again.

The neighbors laughed.

The Jia family was too cowardly; a family of three was cleaned up by Wan Ping'an alone; if it got out, they would definitely have no face to see anyone!

Wan Ping'an left.

The family of three fled home, red-faced and thick-necked; too embarrassing!

"Dongxu, go call the police, you must arrest the little rabbit Wan Ping'an."

Jia Zhang couldn't swallow this breath.

"Wait, don't go!"

"Did you grab someone else's wild ducks just now?"

Old Jia stopped Jia Dongxu.

"His wild ducks must have been stolen, so what if I grabbed them?"

Jia Zhang didn't think she was wrong at all.

"You're confused; what if he bought them or caught them, wouldn't we be filing a false police report?"

"Don't rush to call the police; first find out how his wild ducks came about; if they were really stolen, it won't be too late for us to call the police and arrest him."

Old Jia was relatively calm.

Calling the police couldn't be done casually, otherwise, one might get themselves involved.

"Do you mean our family was hit by Wan Ping'an for nothing?"

Jia Zhang stared at Jia Gensheng with triangular eyes, looking unkind.

"You two big men were bullied by a little rabbit and don't dare to retaliate; tell me, are you two cowards?"

Jia Zhang was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the Jia family.

She was the one in charge.

Old Jia didn't dare to resist her ideas, and Jia Dongxu had been poisoned by Jia Zhang since he was a child, so of course, he didn't dare to resist even more.

"I was hit by Wan Ping'an's little rabbit."

"You two big men, one is my man, one is my son, but you can't get justice for me; why is my life so bitter?"

"God, why did I marry a coward like Jia Gensheng?"

"I might as well die!"

Jia Zhang wailed.

Jia Gensheng was red-faced and thick-necked, but had no way at all.

After Jia Zhang married into the family, all the big and small things in the Jia family, including money, were managed by Jia Zhang; every day someone mocked him for being henpecked.

"Stop crying, it's not good for the neighbors to hear!"

"I promise you, I won't let Wan Ping'an have an easy time, okay?"

"Stop crying!"

Jia Gensheng was very helpless.

After Jia Zhang married him, she often forced him to do things he didn't want to do.

"What's not good about it?"

"If the neighbors hear it, it's you who are embarrassed, not me!"

"I'll only give you three days."

Jia Zhang stopped crying.

Glaring angrily at Jia Gensheng.

"Three days?"

"A bit short."

"Okay, okay, okay, as long as you don't cry anymore, three days is three days."

Jia Gensheng still wanted to use delay tactics, but Jia Zhang was about to cry again, so he quickly agreed.

Jia Dongxu, who was next to him, tried to minimize his presence, fearing that Jia Zhang would notice him and scold him too; no one could stop her.

Opposite door.

First Master Yi Zhonghai's house.

The Yi family and the Jia family were separated by the middle courtyard, where there were living facilities like sinks, not directly door-to-door.

"Jia Zhang is making trouble again."

The First Aunt looked in the direction of the Jia family.

"Jia Gensheng is too unlucky to have married a wife like Jia Zhang; I estimate that if Old Jia doesn't manage it again, the Jia family will be finished."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head.

"It's not that serious, is it?"

The First Aunt didn't quite believe it.

"The old saying goes that marrying the wrong woman ruins three generations; Jia Zhang is a woman who can ruin three generations; I'll put it here, if you don't believe it, just watch."

Yi Zhonghai was very firm.

Back courtyard.

Wan Ping'an returned home, didn't kill the three wild ducks, but tied them with a rope to raise them; eating pork was enough.

"Make a braised pork!"

"Add some potatoes, no need to steam cornmeal buns; potatoes are high-quality staple food."

Wan Ping'an started cooking.

Cut all two jin of pork belly.

If Jia Zhang saw it, or Yan Fugui saw it, they would definitely curse him for being a spendthrift; whose family eats two jin of pork belly in one meal?

Material scarcity in the fifties.

For a whole family, eating half a jin of meat in one meal was a very extravagant behavior.

In most cases, the so-called meat dishes were just adding a little meat residue to the vegetables; when served on the table, you couldn't see chunks of meat at all.

When Wan Ping'an went out, the Jia family ate meat, and the family of three only ate half a jin of meat!

Half a jin!

Soon.

Braised pork with potatoes was out of the pot.

The rich fragrance enveloped the back courtyard, flowed to the middle courtyard, and spread to the front courtyard.

The beasts were all restless.

In the Liu Haizhong family in the back courtyard, Liu Haizhong stood by the window, looking in the direction of Wan Ping'an's house, and the Second Aunt beside him swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Sigh, Wan Ping'an's parents died early, and he doesn't understand anything."

"Making such delicious meat, he doesn't know how to send us a portion; no wonder he is isolated by people in the courtyard, he deserves it!"

"Why do I feel like it's even more fragrant than the braised pork made by He Great Qing?"

Liu Haizhong also swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"I thought I was the only one who thought so."

"The braised pork made by Wan Ping'an is really more fragrant than the one made by He Great Qing!"

The Second Aunt looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise.

Then nodded, agreeing with Liu Haizhong's idea.
