Chapter 661: Jia Zhangshi returns home, Jia Dongxu panics

Jia Dongxu panicked.

He turned around, intending to back out.

"Is that Dongxu back?"

Jia Zhangshi's snoring stopped.

"Mom, it's me, I'm back."

Jia Dongxu bit the bullet and entered the room.

"In the half month I wasn't home, Yi Zhonghai didn't speak ill of me, did he?"

Jia Zhangshi stared at Jia Dongxu.

"No, not a single word!"

Jia Dongxu shook his head.

Yi Zhonghai had urged him to have some backbone, that he was the head of the household, and that he should appropriately restrain Jia Zhangshi so she wouldn't act recklessly anymore.

Jia Dongxu was in a difficult position.

How could he restrain Jia Zhangshi?

He had no way at all; when he asked Yi Zhonghai, he didn't have a way either!

"Really not?"

Jia Zhangshi questioned.

"Really not!"

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth; he couldn't say it!

"Hmph, I'm hungry; why aren't you going to cook?"

"I want to eat meat!"

Jia Zhangshi lay back down after speaking.

Jia Dongxu sighed; since Jia Zhangshi wanted to eat meat, he had no choice but to go out and buy meat.

As soon as he stepped out, he ran into Yi Zhonghai.

"Dongxu, where are you going?"

Yi Zhonghai asked.

"I'm going to buy meat; my mom wants to eat meat."

Jia Dongxu sighed.

Jia Zhangshi was back; his good days were over!

"Dongxu, if you hear any rumors, absolutely do not take them seriously; just act as if you never heard them. Your mom and I are truly innocent!"

Yi Zhonghai explained.

Jia Dongxu would definitely hear the rumors in the courtyard.

"First Elder, what are you talking about?"

Jia Dongxu was confused by what he said.

Could it be that First Elder and his mom had a story?

"Haven't you heard?"

"Heard what?"

"This..."

Yi Zhonghai was embarrassed.

He had thought Jia Dongxu had heard and had come specifically to explain.

He hadn't expected to come too early; Jia Dongxu didn't know anything.

"Sigh, I'll just tell you then!"

"There are rumors in the courtyard saying I'm biased toward your family because I have some relationship with your mom."

"Dongxu, you must absolutely not believe these rumors; your First Aunt and I are very loving, and it's impossible for me to have a relationship with anyone other than First Aunt."

Yi Zhonghai swore solemnly.

He didn't want Jia Dongxu to misunderstand!

"First Elder, I believe you."

Jia Dongxu didn't know whether he should believe it or not.

But he was a smart person.

At the rolling mill, he needed Yi Zhonghai's care and couldn't afford a falling out.

Whether he believed it in his heart or not, he had to believe it with his mouth!

"As long as you believe it!"

"Go buy the meat quickly!"

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way to buy meat, Jia Dongxu kept thinking: "Could Yi Zhonghai really have some relationship with my mom?"

Yi Zhonghai's bias toward their Jia family was sometimes truly excessive; he found it incredible himself, let alone the others in the courtyard.

He bought the meat.

Jia Dongxu returned home.

At this moment.

Wan Ping'an had just returned to the Sihe Academy.

"Ping'an, come over here for a second."

Yan Fugui called Wan Ping'an to the side.

"Third Elder, is there something wrong?"

Wan Ping'an was a bit puzzled.

"Jia Zhangshi is back."

"After she came back, she went to the backyard twice."

Yan Fugui didn't continue.

Wan Ping'an understood what he meant.

The Jia family lived in the middle courtyard and wouldn't go to the backyard easily.

Jia Zhangshi going to the backyard was very likely to do something bad.

The Jia family had a grudge against Wan Ping'an; Jia Zhangshi going to the backyard most likely meant going to Wan Ping'an's house, either to steal or to cause destruction.

"Third Elder, thank you."

"The persimmons in the six-acre greenhouse are almost ripe; tomorrow, I'll bring you two to taste."

Wan Ping'an knew Yan Fugui's purpose all too well.

He just wanted to take advantage of some small benefits!

Give him some small favors, and such news would come in an endless stream. ===== CHAPTER 663 =====
