Chapter 119: Street Rat

Shazhu provoked the crowd's anger.

Even Liu Haizhong and Yan Bu Gui gave false testimony.

Of course, Lin Shengli also fanned the fire well.

The Deaf Old Lady, in a fit of anger, began to scold Shazhu.

A fierce blaze of anger burned in Shazhu's heart.

He pointed at Liu Haizhong, then at Yan Bu Gui, and shouted angrily:

"Old lady, they're trying to sow discord between us."

From childhood to now, the Deaf Old Lady has always treated him like a beloved grandson.

He hadn't expected the Deaf Old Lady to believe their words so easily.

The problem is, he never even scolded the Deaf Old Lady.

This is far too unjust for him.

The Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh and said nothing.

She actually felt a bit remorseful.

Whether Shazhu ever scolded her or not, Shazhu is now the only person she can rely on; that is an indisputable fact.

Nowadays Yi Zhonghai is reluctant to deal with her.

Relying on Yi Zhonghai for support is no longer realistic.

If she offends Shazhu again, she fears no one will look after her thereafter.

However, making her publicly admit her mistake and speak kindly of Shazhu is impossible.

She has always regarded herself as the senior ancestor of this courtyard.

She would never do something that would cause her to lose face.

At that moment, Qin Huairu walked over.

She had just been inside the house.

She saw everything with her own eyes.

She felt it was time to step forward.

She came to Shazhu's side and demanded angrily:

"Shazhu, what's really going on with you?"

"Why did you still make the old lady angry?"

"Don't you know the old lady has always treated you as a grandson?"

Seeing Qin Huairu, Shazhu, like a drowning man clutching a lifeline, hurriedly grabbed her hand, about to explain, when Lin Shengli's voice suddenly rang out:

"Shazhu, in front of so many people, you grabbed Qin Jie's hand—what are you thinking?"

"Do you think Qin Jie, being a widow, is easy to bully?"

Everyone, upon hearing, immediately became restless.

They whispered to each other in low voices.

Qin Huairu hurriedly shook Shazhu's hand away, pointed at him and shouted angrily:

"Shazhu, what are you trying to do?"

Shazhu was stunned on the spot.

Suddenly.

A figure appeared and, without a word, slapped Shazhu.

Shazhu covered his burning cheek, opening his mouth to curse.

But seeing it was Jia Zhangshi, the words at the tip of his tongue were forced back down.

He had always kept Qin Huairu in his thoughts.

Even when Jia Dongxu was still around, he still kept her in mind.

He always looked for a chance to get close to Qin Huairu.

For this, he felt guilty toward Jia Zhangshi.

Of course, that's not the main point.

The main point is that Jia Zhangshi is known as "Ghost‑Seeing Sorrow".

He has been frightened at the sight of Jia Zhangshi since childhood.

Jia Zhangshi pointed at Shazhu and roared:

"Shazhu, in front of so many people, you dared to grab my daughter‑in‑law's hand."

"Tell me, have you already done something that betrays the Jia family with her?"

Qin Huairu: "Mother, please stop talking nonsense."

"Shazhu and I are pure."

Shazhu: "Exactly, Aunt."

"My reputation doesn't matter, but don't ruin Qin Jie's reputation."

Jia Zhangshi: "Who would believe it? Grabbing someone's hand in front of so many—if no one were there, who knows what else might be grabbed."

Lin Shengli: "Exactly, Bang Geng, your words are very reasonable."

"Fortunately, we have you."

"Otherwise, *tsk tsk*, I couldn't even imagine."

"Shazhu is becoming more and more outrageous."

"Qin Jie, a widow with several children, has it so hard."

He actually still bullies others?

In front of so many people, when he grabbed Qin Jie, she still didn't dare to resist.

It shows that if no one saw, he might not necessarily treat Qin Jie that way.

Speaking up to this point, Lin Shengli raised his voice:

Everyone, isn't that right?

The crowd shouted in unison: 'Yes.'

Shazhu was anxious like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth nonstop.

Xu Damao said, 'Bang Geng's grandma, Shazhu bullying Qin Jie like this, just giving him a slap is too cheap for him.'

Shazhu, upon hearing this, instantly widened his eyes and was about to rush at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao, seeing this, hurriedly ran to behind Lin Shengli.

Yi Zhonghai shouted, 'Shazhu, you resort to violence at the drop of a hat, truly rebellious against heaven!'

Shazhu: 'Eldest Uncle, they're all wronging me, why don't you say a word?'

Yi Zhonghai: 'Are they wronging you?'

You just grabbed Qin Huairu's hand, everyone saw it.

Liu Haizhong: 'That's right, we all saw it with our own eyes.'

Yan Bu Gui: 'That's right, Shazhu is getting more and more outrageous.'

Jia Zhangshi: 'Throw Shazhu out!'

Everyone, follow my shout: throw Shazhu out!

Qin Huairu, upon hearing this, involuntarily shuddered all over.

This is truly a pig's brain.

Joining in the clamor.

Don't you see that Lin Shengli is the one fanning the flames?

Just quietly watch from the side.

Still wanting to throw Shazhu out.

Even if you drove Shazhu away, his house wouldn't be yours to have.

But if Shazhu's support were gone in the future, we couldn't get by.

Fortunately, nobody dared to follow her.

This also let Qin Huairu breathe a sigh of relief.

Just then, Lin Shengli's voice came through:

Bang Geng's grandma, you're being over the top.

Shazhu has been so good to your family.

Feeding you leftovers every day has made you all fat-headed and big-eared.

You still want to throw Shazhu out.

This is truly the classic behavior of a white-eyed wolf.

Shazhu: 'Right, right, right, anyone can kick me out, except your family.'

Look at everyone, then look at yourselves.

Everyone's faces are pale from vegetables, what about your family?

Each one red-faced, fat-headed and big-eared.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but interrupt angrily:

Shazhu, who are you calling fat-headed and big-eared?

You, you're going too far!

Shazhu stared, then said: 'I, Shengli said it, why don't you question him?'

I'm just repeating his words.

Qin Huairu: 'I only heard you say we're all fat-headed and big-eared.'

Shazhu, from now on I won't care about you anymore.

With that said.

She hurriedly walked home.

She really couldn't hold back.

However, she now still feels some regret.

She worries that she will completely anger Shazhu.

In the future, they won't support her anymore.

Jia Zhangshi pointed at Shazhu and shouted angrily:

Shazhu, if you dare to covet my daughter-in-law again, I'll break your dog legs!

After saying that, Jia Zhangshi also left.

The Deaf Old Lady let out a long sigh, turned, and walked toward the back courtyard.

Shazhu was dumbfounded.

How come I seem to have become a lone solitary person?

What exactly did I do wrong?

Xu Damao gave a cold chuckle and said:

Shazhu, you're now a street rat that everyone shouts to beat.

Shazhu, upon hearing, instantly grabbed the long bench beneath his feet and charged toward Xu Damao.

The crowd, seeing this, hurriedly stepped aside.

Xu Damao tried to run to Lin Shengli's rear.

But there was no sign of Lin Shengli anywhere.

He hurriedly, one hand covering the back of his head, fled desperately, sprinting for his life......
