~7 min read 1,284 words

Seeing Yi Dama leave without leaving any watermelon, Jia Dongxu became anxious.

He followed after her, smiling, and said, "Madam, don't argue with the child."

"Why don't you let Bang Geng and Xiao Dang come to your house to eat?"

"Whether we go or not doesn't matter; as long as the child is happy, that's enough."

Yi Dama stopped, glanced at Jia Dongxu, sighed lightly, and said:

"Dongxu, you guys, sigh, you just spoil the child too much."

"I won't indulge him today."

"You guys, you should properly educate the child."

Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but say: "Madam Yi, you shouldn't speak so harshly."

"I think our child is very good."

"But it's not as bad as you say."

"Hmph, in your eyes now it's all Lin Shengli."

"He has only just met you for the first time."

"We've been old neighbors for many years, you......"

Jia Dongxu kept observing Yi Dama, seeing her face grow increasingly grim.

He hurriedly spoke up to interrupt: "Mom, Mom, don't say it, don't say it."

Then he apologetically smiled at Yi Dama and said: "Madam, why don't you go back first?"

"I will definitely educate the children properly from now on."

Yi Dama sighed lightly, shook her head, and walked toward the house.

Jia Dongxu watched Yi Dama until she entered the house.

Suddenly.

His face changed.

He raised his hand high toward Bang Geng.

He was so angry that not slapping Bang Geng would hardly dispel his anger.

Jia Zhangshi hurriedly shouted: "Dongxu, stop."

Then.

He pulled Bang Geng behind him.

At this moment.

Shazhu came out carrying a bag.

Jia Dongxu saw it, his eyes lit up, and he hurried over to Shazhu.

Just now Shazhu said he had the dried sea fish and dried squid that Deputy Factory Director Li gave to Lin Shengli; if Yi Zhonghai didn't call him for a drink, he would bring them out to share.

Looking at this situation, it seems Shazhu intends to share them.

"Shazhu, what is this?"

Jia Dongxu pointed at the bag in Shazhu's hand and asked.

"Dried sea fish and dried squid, Dongxu bro, come to your house, we'll make some dishes and the two of us can have a couple drinks."

Shazhu said, glancing at Yi Zhonghai's door, sourly and loudly: "We can't let only some people eat and drink well while forbidding us from doing the same, right?"

"Good, good, perfect to let Bang Geng also quell his hunger."

After saying that.

Jia Dongxu shouted at Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng, who were still standing in the middle of the courtyard:

"Bang Geng, Shazhu said he'll fry dried squid for you to eat, hurry back."

Qin Huairu inside heard it, her brows furrowed, and she thought to herself:

"This Jia Dongxu, just like his mother, has no brains at all."

"Are the things Shazhu brought presentable?"

"Those are what Deputy Factory Director Li gave to Lin Shengli."

However, after thinking it over.

This was taken by Shazhu; if Deputy Factory Director Li and Lin Shengli pursue it, they'd pursue Shazhu's responsibility.

It has nothing to do with her family.

As long as Shazhu dares to bring it for her to eat, she dares to eat it.

As for what fate befalls Shazhu, she couldn't be bothered to care.

Thinking this way, she also felt at ease.

If tonight we don't let Bang Geng eat something tasty, who knows when the trouble will end.

Shazhu's shout was also heard by everyone in Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yan Bu Gui wore an envious look and said: "Shazhu even has dried squid."

Liu Haizhong: "Normal, as a cook, he carries a net bag with a lunch box every day; who knows what this guy has in his lunch box?"

"Our factory often has receptions."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Lin Shengli and asked: "Shengli, did you take the things Deputy Factory Director Li gave you today?"

Lin Shengli shook his head and said: "No, if I'm not mistaken, the dried squid Shazhu took is very likely what Deputy Factory Director Li gave me."

Guan Yushan: "Shazhu has a lot of nerve; the leadership gave it to you, and he actually......"

"Shengli, wait, Master will help you get it back."

Lin Shengli laughed: "Master, no need, I don't even look down on this bit of dried squid."

They're all adults now; they must take responsibility for their actions.

Just wait, Xu Damao will come for Shazhu, and then Deputy Factory Director Li will also come for Shazhu.

Oh, it was Deputy Factory Director Li who asked Xu Damao to give me something; I and my uncle were about to go out, so I had Shazhu bring it back first.

Hearing this, the Deaf Old Lady also lost her appetite for eating and drinking.

She made an excuse to go out to relieve herself, then went straight to find Shazhu.

At that moment.

Shazhu was deep-frying dried squid.

Hearing Qin Huairu say the Deaf Old Lady was looking for him, he said somewhat unhappily:

"Tell her I'm not free, I'm busy right now."

He still resented the Deaf Old Lady for not coming to call him for a drink.

When the Deaf Old Lady heard Qin Huairu say that Shazhu was frying dried squid and had no time, she didn't say anything else but stormed straight into the Jia Family's home.

Jia Zhangshi was sitting at home, seething with anger.

Upon seeing the Deaf Old Lady, she shuddered all over and hastily stood up.

She fears nothing else, only the Deaf Old Lady.

The Deaf Old Lady snorted and walked toward the kitchen.

Jia Zhangshi glared venomously at the Deaf Old Lady's back, silently cursing something.

Arriving in the kitchen, the Deaf Old Lady asked:

"Shazhu, what are you doing?"

Shazhu glanced sideways at the Deaf Old Lady and replied testily:

"Well, Old Lady, why aren't you eating something good at Eldest Uncle's place, why come here?"

"Did you smell the fragrance of the dried squid?"

Deaf Old Lady: "What are you doing? I'm asking you, is this dried squid something that some leader from your side gave to Shengli?"

Shazhu: "No, what's up?"

Deaf Old Lady: "Really not?"

Shazhu: "Old Lady, just don't worry about it, ah."

"What leader, only allowing him to eat meat, not even letting me drink some broth?"

"It's fine, ah, go back and eat your own."

Deaf Old Lady: "Shazhu, you'd better gather up everything and give it to Shengli, then apologize to him; I'll say a good word for you, and Shengli won't blame you anymore."

Shazhu: "Old Lady, this dried squid is mine, not something some leader or Shengli gave."

Deaf Old Lady: "Alright, since you're obstinate, there's nothing I can do."

"Do as you please."

After the Deaf Old Lady left, Jia Zhangshi grew angrier the more she thought about it.

Yi Zhonghai used to be so good to her family.

After Lin Shengli arrived, things changed right away.

She also blamed everything on Lin Shengli.

She went to the kitchen, ate a few pieces of dried squid, then went out.

She intended to smash Lin Shengli's window glass in the night to vent her hatred.

Arriving at Qian Yuan, seeing every household tightly shut their doors, she silently thought, "Heaven helps me."

Then she took out a small stone she had prepared earlier from her pant pocket, closed one eye, and aimed...

Bang!

One strike, direct hit!

The glass on Lin Shengli's front door was smashed to pieces.

Then.

She grinned and ran toward Zhongyuan.

Hearing the commotion, Yan Jiecheng, who was at home, hurried out.

All that could be seen was a short, stout figure running into Zhongyuan.
