Chapter 65
It was enough to make anyone keep their distance!
“It’s all that little beast Wan Ping'an’s fault!”
Thinking of the past three days, Jia Zhang wanted to cry.
In the detention center, she had to lick the Scarred Woman’s feet every day, becoming a human foot-washing machine. Just thinking about it made her want to cry her heart out.
The Jia father and son had also been tortured miserably.
The three members of the Jia family had suffered greatly! ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
Wan Ping'an had just returned to the Sihe Academy when he heard the people in the courtyard discussing that the three members of the Jia family had returned, looking as disheveled as beggars!
The more miserable, the better!
Wan Ping'an believed the Jia family deserved it!
If the Jia family hadn’t stolen pumpkins and tried to extort him, would they have faced jail time?
He passed through the middle courtyard on his way home and saw Jia Zhang.
Jia Zhang was sitting at her doorstep.
She had lost a whole circle of weight!
“Only three days, and she’s lost so much weight. It looks like she didn’t eat well inside!”
Wan Ping'an smiled.
“Little beast, what are you laughing at?”
“I curse you to choke to death while eating, get hit by a car while walking, be struck by lightning on a rainy day, and have no...”
Seeing Wan Ping'an’s smile, Jia Zhang went crazy with anger.
The smile on Wan Ping'an’s face vanished instantly, replaced by a frosty expression. He turned, walked up to Jia Zhang, swung his arm, and delivered a big slap!
Slap!
Jia Zhang fell to the ground on the spot.
“Jia Zhang, are you cheap?”
“Your mouth is so foul, are you looking for a beating?”
Wan Ping'an stepped on Jia Zhang.
“Wan Ping'an, aren’t you going to let go of my mother?”
Jia Dongxu rushed out of the house.
Seeing it was Wan Ping'an stepping on Jia Zhang, Jia Dongxu’s expression was fearful. He kept a safe distance, only shouting, but didn’t dare to rush up.
He knew he couldn’t beat Wan Ping'an.
Rushing up would definitely mean getting beaten.
“Want me to let go of your mother?”
“No problem. Come over, lie down, and I’ll step on you instead, then I’ll let go of your mother!”
“A person for a person—it just depends on how filial you are!”
“Come, great filial son, come over!”
Wan Ping'an sneered.
Jia Dongxu hesitated, delaying, not daring to go over!
“A fight!”
“Jia Zhang is getting beaten again.”
“Wait for me, I’ll go watch the fun with you.”
A seven or eight-year-old child, seeing Jia Zhang pinned to the ground, shouted excitedly, bringing a group of neighbors over to watch.
“Dongxu, hurry and call the police, get Wan Ping'an arrested! He hit her first!”
Jia Zhang was happy.
Finally, she had a handle on Wan Ping'an.
She had only cursed Wan Ping'an a few times, and he had hit her.
“You want to call the police to arrest me like this?”
“Think it through. I only hit someone; at most, I’ll be locked up for a few days before they let me out.”
“When I get out, I’ll take revenge on your son.”
“For every day I’m locked up, I’ll break one of your son’s fingers. If I’m locked up for ten days, I’ll break all of your son’s fingers. Do you still want to call the police?”
Wan Ping'an looked coldly at Jia Zhang.
Jia Dongxu, who was just about to call the police, heard Wan Ping'an’s words and was stunned on the spot, subconsciously hiding his hands behind his back.
Ping'an was too ruthless!
“You, you, you wouldn’t dare!”
Jia Zhang’s face turned a bit pale.
“Do you want to bet on it?”
“If you lose the bet, your son becomes a cripple!”
Wan Ping'an sneered.
“Mom...”
Jia Dongxu didn’t want to call the police.
He didn’t dare to bet!
If he lost, he would become a cripple!
“Fine, I won’t call the police!”
Jia Zhang didn’t dare to gamble with her son’s fingers either.
“That’s not what I want.”
“I want you to kowtow and apologize to me.”
“You brought this on yourself. If you hadn’t cursed me, would I have hit you?”
Wan Ping'an let go of Jia Zhang.
“Can I not kowtow?”
Kowtowing in public was truly too shameful.
“Don’t you want your son’s fingers anymore?”
Wan Ping'an sneered.
“Fine, I’ll kowtow to you!”
Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and knelt in public to Wan Ping'an.
After kowtowing three times, she turned and ran.
She had no face to see anyone; better to hurry home and hide!
Everyone was stunned. Was this still Jia Zhang?
“Wan Ping'an, you’re too despicable, actually using threats!”
Sha Zhu mocked.
“Sha Zhu, your nickname is too accurate; you really are a big fool.”
“Next time I see your father, I’ll definitely give him a suggestion: this ‘big account’ of yours is ruined, let him find another woman and train a ‘small account’.”
Wan Ping'an sneered.
When dealing with Jia Zhang, if you don’t use something ruthless, something poisonous, would she be afraid?
Would she let it go?
“What big account, small account?”
Sha Zhu was confused.
Wan Ping'an smiled.
Wasn’t He Great Qing about to abandon Sha Zhu and his sister?
Did his abandoning them have something to do with Sha Zhu not being up to the mark?
Sha Zhu was too close to Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady. He Great Qing had forbidden it repeatedly, but Sha Zhu wouldn’t listen. He must be very disappointed in Sha Zhu, right?
“Guess?”
Wan Ping'an turned and went back to the backyard. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
Sha Zhu was confused. He wanted to find Wan Ping'an to ask for clarification, but didn’t dare.
He knew very well that he couldn’t beat Wan Ping'an.
What if he provoked Wan Ping'an and got beaten up?
The Jia family.
The atmosphere was very oppressive.
“Jia Gen, just now when I was beaten, why didn’t you come out to help me?”
Jia Zhang questioned her husband.
“Would it have been useful if I came out?”
“Even if the three of us went together, we couldn’t beat Wan Ping'an.”
“I’m just curious: you know Wan Ping'an won’t indulge you, so why do you keep provoking him?”
Jia Gen looked at Jia Zhang in confusion.
Jia Zhang’s face darkened.
She used to curse people often. The people she cursed would either curse back or turn and leave. She thought Wan Ping'an was one of the two.
She didn’t expect Wan Ping'an to actually make a move!
Two days later.
Explosive news spread in the courtyard: Jia Dongxu was looking for a wife.
“First Aunt, Second Aunt, with the Jia family’s reputation, will anyone marry Jia Dongxu?”
Yan Fu’s wife looked toward the Jia family’s direction and chatted with several other aunts.
The Jia family’s reputation was rotten.
“Certainly not!”
“Jia Dongxu can’t possibly marry a good wife.”
Second Aunt shook her head.
She agreed with Yan Fu’s wife’s point of view.
“Give the matchmaker more money, let the matchmaker say good things.”
First Aunt said with a smile.
As long as the money is there, even if someone is scum, a matchmaker can blow them up to the heavens.
“That’s a good way, but will Jia Zhang pay the money?”
“She values money more than her life!”
Yan Fu’s wife shook her head.
Wan Ping'an returned from the six-acre plot, and Xu Damao ran over excitedly to tell him that Jia Dongxu was going to take a wife, and he heard she was very pretty.
“It’s not you taking a wife, why are you so happy?”
“Do you have any ideas?”
Wan Ping'an teased with a smile.
Wan Ping'an didn’t know if Xu Damao had sabotaged Jia Dongxu’s blind date.
But he knew that in the future, when Sha Zhu went on blind dates, Xu Damao often played dirty tricks and even snatched away Qin Jingru, who was on a date with Sha Zhu.
“Don’t talk nonsense, what ideas could I have?”
Xu Damao felt a bit guilty.
“The wife Jia Dongxu is looking for should be Qin Huairu, right?”
“A ‘first-hand’ Qin Huairu, not yet ‘blackened,’ she’s still very fragrant!”
Wan Ping'an muttered in his heart, his eyes shining.
“Damao, do you know what kind of person the wife Jia Dongxu is looking for is?”
Wan Ping'an pressed.
“I really don’t know.”
“But I heard Third Uncle say it seems to be a country girl.”
“The Jia family’s reputation is too foul. If a girl in the city asks around just a little, she’ll know the Jia family’s background. It’s impossible for her to marry him.”
Xu Damao gloated.
“I’ll tell you quietly, don’t tell anyone else.”
“Jia Dongxu looked for a partner himself before, three times, and they all failed. They were scared off by the Jia family’s foul reputation.”
“If he wants to take a wife, he has to find someone divorced, a widow, or someone from the countryside. What good girl would marry into their family?”
Xu Damao lowered his voice.
Before speaking, he looked left and right to make sure no one was around before daring to tell Wan Ping'an in a low voice.
“No wonder Jia Dongxu is marrying the country girl Qin Huairu.”
“Qin Huairu being pretty is only one aspect; the most important reason is that the Jia family’s reputation is ruined, and girls in the city simply won’t marry him.”
Wan Ping'an suddenly realized.
At the same moment.
In the middle courtyard, at Yi Zhonghai’s house.
He was miserable. The tea on the table had gone cold, but he hadn’t thought to take a sip.
“Sigh, in our courtyard, I, Xu Fugui, He Great Qing, Jia Gen, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fu are of the same generation, about the same age.”
“Xu Fugui, He Great Qing, and Jia Gen all have a son; Liu Haizhong and Yan Fu both have three sons.”
“Only me, I have nothing.”
“Now, Jia Gen’s son is getting married, and soon there will be a grandson!”
“Sigh!”
Yi Zhonghai sighed and lamented.
The greatest hope of his life was to have a son or daughter. Without a son, a daughter would do, but he had nothing.
“Husband, it’s all my fault!”
“I couldn’t bear you any children!”
First Aunt was in low spirits.
Neither of them had ever been to the hospital for a checkup.
But their generation came from the old society and entered the new one, heavily influenced by the traditional concepts left over from the old society.
They generally believed that not being able to have children was the woman’s problem.
It was First Aunt’s problem!
First Aunt had always felt guilty!
The sun set.
The moon rose.
A night passed.
When the sun jumped out from the horizon once again.
A new day had come.
Wan Ping'an arrived at the six-acre plot.
“Ping'an, I just heard someone say, did the Jia family from your courtyard cause you trouble?”
Cai Quanwu looked at Wan Ping'an with concern!
“When I was a porter, I knew some brothers. Do you want me to take some people to deal with the Jia family?”
Cai Quanwu was very angry.
When he was a porter, he had one meal and went hungry for the next.
Following Wan Ping'an, he finally had a stable, good life. Wan Ping'an was his provider and the guarantee of his future happy life.
Whoever caused Wan Ping'an trouble was smashing his rice bowl.
Since they were smashing his rice bowl, he naturally had to fight for his life!
“Forget it, I’ve already disciplined them.”
“The three of them, each person compensated me two hundred yuan, and they were caught and locked up for three days!”
Wan Ping'an responded with a smile.
“What?” ===== CHAPTER 139 =====
