Chapter 3

"Some parents are parents, and some parents are beasts. If you don't believe it, you can go to the Siheyuan where I live and ask around. Jia Zhangshi is definitely an extremely selfish person. For example, if there are six steamed buns in front of her, Jia Zhangshi will definitely eat five, leaving only one."

"Of this only remaining steamed bun, Jia Dongxu will eat at most half, and the remaining half will be given to his wife and children. Under such long-term conditions, it would be strange if Jia Dongxu didn't have problems."

"Actually, this matter also has precedents. You can ask the old people in the factory and the old people around the Siheyuan. Back then, Jia Dongxu's father was worked to death by Jia Zhangshi."

"Jia Zhangshi didn't do anything, just lay at home eating, with the style of a landlord's wife. Lao Jia not only had to work hard, but also had to clean up the house when he got home. Later, when he had Jia Dongxu, he not only had to take care of Jia Dongxu, but also had to serve Jia Zhangshi. It would be strange if he wasn't worked to death."

"Therefore, I said that some parents are parents, and some parents are beasts. With Jia Zhangshi's selfish and self-interested character, it is a matter of course that she would do such a thing in order to fill her own stomach and get more money." He Yuzhu said lightly.

He Yuzhu didn't care whether Jia Zhangshi really calculated like this, which caused Jia Dongxu to die. However, this did not prevent He Yuzhu from pinning the blame on Jia Zhangshi.

The Rolling Mill has simple folk customs, and the Siheyuan has outstanding people. The beasts in the Siheyuan are one after another worse than beasts.

Through the information in his memory, He Yuzhu clearly knew that after He Daqing ran away back then, Jia Zhangshi took advantage of the time when Shazhu and He Yushui went to Baoding to find He Daqing, pried open the door of the He family, and moved away all the rice, flour, firewood, oil, and money in the house.

In order to control Shazhu, Yi Zhonghai naturally smoothed things over, and in the end, this matter was left unsettled.

The reason why Shazhu had such a tragic fate was both because of the beasts in the courtyard and because Shazhu himself was stupid.

In this Siheyuan surrounded by wolves, if you are not a smart person, you simply cannot survive.

"I still don't quite believe it. After all, a tiger doesn't eat its cubs." Liu Lan said with a frown.

"You can't treat Jia Zhangshi as a human being. You can understand it if you treat her as a beast."

"When Lao Jia was alive, she ate Lao Jia; when Lao Jia died, she ate Jia Dongxu; when Jia Dongxu was gone, she ate Qin Huairu. From a certain point of view, eating Qin Huairu is equivalent to eating Jia Dongxu."

"When Jia Dongxu's son Bang Geng grows up, Jia Zhangshi can eat Bang Geng. This kind of thing can be seen at a glance."

"However, what you said also makes some sense. A tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Tell me, is there a possibility that Jia Dongxu is not Jia Zhangshi's biological son?" He Yuzhu began to talk nonsense seriously.

Liu Lan's eyes lit up, she slapped her thigh fiercely, and said loudly: "Right! That makes sense! Everything is explained. It was very chaotic when Lao Jia and the others were around, and it was normal to take concubines or remarry."

"Jia Dongxu is not Jia Zhangshi's biological son, so it is normal for Jia Zhangshi to abuse Jia Dongxu, and it is even normal to work Lao Jia to death to take revenge on him. Since she could work Lao Jia to death and taste the sweetness from it, starving Jia Dongxu to death is also a matter of course."

"As soon as Jia Dongxu dies, Qin Huairu takes over the job. Jia Dongxu's son Bang Geng is still young, so Qin Huairu has no time to take care of Bang Geng, and Bang Geng can only be raised by Jia Zhangshi."

"Jia Zhangshi then uses some means and schemes to make Bang Geng close to her, and when Bang Geng grows up, she eats Bang Geng. This makes perfect sense." Liu Lan said with an excited face.

Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes. After such a round of nonsense between himself and Liu Lan, a perfect closed loop was actually formed.

Then again, it is well known to everyone in the Siheyuan that Jia Zhangshi only cares about herself and abuses Jia Dongxu.

The problem is: did Jia Zhangshi do this subjectively? If so, then it is terrifying to think about.

"Um, Shazhu, I'm going out to the toilet, I'll be back later. Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before serving the food." Liu Lan said with her big eyes excited, eager to try.

No need to guess, Liu Lan is going to share this matter with her group of sisters, which is exactly what He Yuzhu thought.

"Go." He Yuzhu waved his hand and said. With a "whoosh," Liu Lan darted out of the canteen. If nothing unexpected happened, by this afternoon, the whole Rolling Mill would be spreading the story that Jia Zhangshi was selfish and self-interested, and in order to be full, she used a poisonous scheme to kill Jia Dongxu to profit.

In fact, He Yuzhu underestimated Liu Lan's ability. He Yuzhu originally thought that the rumors would spread throughout the Rolling Mill by the afternoon, but he didn't expect that by the time of lunch, the workers would start discussing Jia Dongxu's matter.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but give Liu Lan a thumbs up.

In the afternoon, after He Yuzhu learned that there was no reception in the evening, he deliberately left the Rolling Mill more than an hour early. He Yuzhu left early, naturally, to present a special big gift to Jia Zhangshi to avenge his past grievances.

He Yuzhu first went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and spent five mao to buy a large pile of Cuban sugar, and then came to the entrance of the hutong. The reason why He Yuzhu bought Cuban sugar was because this sugar was cheap and didn't require coupons.

"Daniu, come here." He Yuzhu beckoned to the children who were playing in the hutong.

Daniu and a group of children immediately ran over.

He Yuzhu gave them each a piece of Cuban sugar. He Yuzhu also tasted one, and then almost spat it out. It was too unpalatable, and there were too many impurities in it.

However, those children led by Daniu ate it with relish.

"Go, call all the children in the whole hutong, and I will distribute sugar to you." He Yuzhu said.

Upon hearing this, Daniu and the others scattered in all directions. In just a moment, a large group of children ran over, and some children even brought out their younger brothers or sisters who couldn't walk, just to get sugar.

He Yuzhu asked them to divide into two teams, one for boys and one for girls, and then distributed the sugar.

After distributing the sugar, He Yuzhu patted the remaining sugar and said: "Now, I will teach you a song. Whoever learns it fast and sings it well, I will distribute the sugar to them, okay?"

"Okay!" This group of children didn't expect such a good thing, so they couldn't help but say in unison.

"I will sing it once first, and then teach you sentence by sentence, and you follow along." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he began to sing.

"Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh..."

"Jia Dongxu works in the Rolling Mill, his mother starved him in order to be full..."

"Jia Dongxu, was killed by a scheme, killed by his mother in the factory!"

"Jia Zhangshi, specializes in cursing the Jia family, cursed the Jia family until they have no home..."

The melody was directly copied from Koyote's "Pure Love," which is also one of the golden songs that has topped the street dance group charts for many years. The demonic song is catchy. As for whether the lyrics rhyme or not, He Yuzhu didn't care, as long as it was easy to understand.

These children learned very quickly, mainly because they all knew Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi, and the lyrics were too easy to understand, and the rhythm was also very brisk. Not long after, these children learned it and even sang it in turns between boys and girls.

He Yuzhu distributed all the sugar to this group of children.

"Do you still want to eat sugar? If you want to eat sugar, follow me." After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy five mao worth of Cuban sugar, and then led this group of children straight to the Siheyuan.
