Chapter 738: Is Jia Zhangshi greedy? The whole courtyard supports Wan Ping'an

Wan Ping'an smiled; this matter could be considered concluded. Next, it was time for him to explain why he had poured water at Jia Zhangshi's doorstep.

"Everyone, this matter today shouldn't have happened, but Jia Zhangshi didn't listen to me today and openly ran wild..."

After saying this, he took a deep breath, waiting for everyone's response.

"I support the First Elder. Since Jia Zhangshi still treats everyone this way, we should hurry up and drive her out."

"Exactly, the First Elder is right. Drive her out quickly; keeping her in the Sihe Academy will be a disaster sooner or later."

"The First Elder is truly generous, not only setting up rules for us but also giving every household a yuan."

Just as everyone was talking, Jia Zhangshi entered the courtyard again, fuming.

"Then, I, Jia Zhangshi, naturally have the right to take this five yuan as well."

Jia Zhangshi's face was full of sinister smiles.

Wan Ping'an sneered in his heart: "Hmph! Do you think this money is so easy to take?"

"Auntie Jia, what do you mean by this?" Wan Ping'an feigned ignorance.

"First Elder, stop pretending to be ignorant there. If you don't give me five yuan today, I won't be finished with you."

Wan Ping'an glanced at Jia Zhangshi indifferently and said:

"If I remember correctly, you said you wouldn't use the drainage ditch, right? You'd just pour it at your doorstep. Why are you bringing it up again?"

"First Elder, I did say that, but now you're forcing me to do it this way. It would be a waste not to take this five yuan." Jia Zhangshi argued sophistically.

"Oh, is that so? Since you're so capable, go repair it yourself. I absolutely won't stop you. I guarantee that if it weren't for you, this full-courtyard meeting wouldn't have been held!"

"You, you're being unreasonable. I, I'm telling you, don't think I, Jia Zhangshi, am easy to bully. If you don't give me five yuan, I'll spread your family's scandals and let everyone know that a dignified First Elder has lost all the face of our Sihe Academy."

Jia Zhangshi had the attitude of someone who had given up on everything, and her speech became nasty.

Wan Ping'an suppressed his anger. He looked at the crowd and said: "Uncles and elders, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

One of the honest-looking men said: "I think the First Elder did the right thing. Jia Zhangshi has truly gone too far."

Several others also echoed: "The First Elder did nothing wrong. We should teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson."

Finally, only one or two people remained non-committal. These people had been bought off by Jia Zhangshi before, and seeing that the situation was unfavorable, they all fell silent.

Wan Ping'an looked at the remaining few and asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to stand on Jia Zhangshi's side?"

The remaining few hesitated. No one wanted to stand out and bear the responsibility, so they all shook their heads and backed away.

Looking at these cowardly people, Wan Ping'an felt extreme disdain. He didn't say anything more, but looked straight at Jia Zhangshi and said:

"Since no one supports you, then Jia Zhangshi, you may go! You don't need to take this five yuan either. If you like pouring it at your doorstep, then pour away."

When Jia Zhangshi heard that no one supported her and that Wan Ping'an wouldn't give her the five yuan, she immediately became anxious.

Jia Zhangshi glared fiercely at Wan Ping'an and said:

"Wan Ping'an, I'm telling you, if you don't give me this five yuan today, I'm not leaving."

Wan Ping'an gave a mocking laugh and said: "Jia Zhangshi, can you be any more shameless? You were quite capable just now, why are you acting like a coward now?"

"I'm telling you, you must give me five yuan for today's matter, otherwise don't even think about me leaving."

"Hehe, are you threatening me? Fine, I'll see how much ability you have." ===== CHAPTER 740 =====
