Chapter 696

Ah!

Jia Zhangshi jumped up.

She had only fainted from fear; the situation wasn't serious, and with the cold water and the cold wind blowing, the stimulation made her wake up on her own.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Jia Dongxu climbed up, enduring the pain.

"My head, it hurts so much..."

Jia Zhangshi wailed.

"Mom, it must have been the owl."

Jia Dongxu voiced his guess.

"Yes, it must be the owl."

"Wan Ping'an, your owl hurt me, you must pay compensation—ten yuan, no, if it's not a hundred yuan, this matter isn't over."

Jia Zhangshi ran in front of Wan Ping'an.

She was asking for a sky-high price.

"Don't say a hundred, I can afford to pay a thousand."

"But I'm not a sucker. Come, tell me, you have to say it in front of everyone, why should I pay you money?"

Wan Ping'an smiled.

He was certain that Jia Zhangshi couldn't produce any evidence.

"I'm certain it was your owl that hurt me; if you don't pay, who will?"

Jia Zhangshi insisted.

"Alright, it's very late, and we have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"Dongxu, take your mother back!"

Yi Zhonghai understood as soon as he saw it.

But without evidence, Wan Ping'an wouldn't pay.

Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable behavior might work on others, but it didn't work on Wan Ping'an—it was completely useless.

"I won't, I want him to pay!"

Jia Zhangshi was not reconciled.

Her head was broken; how could there be no compensation at all?

"Mom, let's go home!"

Jia Dongxu realized it.

Knowing it was an owl attack, it must have been ordered by Wan Ping'an, but without any evidence, there was no hope for compensation.

If they kept going, they might get hit again.

The crowd dispersed.

Yi Zhonghai returned home, and his wife asked about the situation; she hadn't followed them out to watch the excitement.

"The mother and son of the Jia family don't have sleepwalking disorder at all. I guess they must have gone to take revenge on Wan Ping'an, but unexpectedly, they were dealt with by Wan Ping'an without knowing it."

Yi Zhonghai's wife guessed the truth instantly.

"I think so too."

"The people in the courtyard probably think so too."

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

The truth of the matter wasn't hard to guess; the people in the courtyard weren't fools. Probably, except for some small children, most adults could guess it.

Sigh!

He sighed.

He wanted Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age, but he had such a difficult mother as Jia Zhangshi.

If he couldn't handle Jia Zhangshi, even if Jia Dongxu was willing to support him, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't agree. He had to find a way to handle Jia Zhangshi.

Either suppress her.

Or drive her away.

Back courtyard.

Liu Haizhong's house.

"Haha, that stinky woman Jia Zhangshi, she still wants to fight with Wan Ping'an?"

Liu Haizhong was very happy.

When Yi Zhonghai was the First Elder, he favored Jia Zhangshi and pitted him and Yan Fugui, so he was very willing to see Jia Zhangshi have bad luck.

"Dear, do you think it was really Wan Ping'an's owl that did it?"

"Will we be in danger?"

Liu Haizhong's wife was a bit worried.

"Just put your heart in your stomach; whether it's the falcon or the owl, they are all very obedient because they were trained by Wan Ping'an."

"Jia Zhangshi was attacked because she went to do bad things."

"Wan Ping'an often brings the falcon and the owl back, as well as the Pallas's cat; when have you ever seen the animals he tamed lose control and hurt people?"

Liu Haizhong sighed.

If only he had the ability to tame animals, how good would that be?

Training a group of dogs to go up the mountain to hunt every day, catching pheasants, killing wild boars, and eating well every day...
