Chapter 62

Yi Dama and the Deaf Old Lady had made their move.

The two hadn't reacted at first, but when they did and saw Jia Zhangshi still wanting to roll around to crush Yi Zhonghai's broken leg, Yi Dama and the Deaf Old Lady were thoroughly enraged.

Both of them understood that if Yi Zhonghai were crippled, it would bound to affect his career, which would affect their future lives. It was absolutely impossible for the two of them to watch Yi Zhonghai meet with disaster.

After their rage reached the extreme, they attacked with full force, not caring whether they would beat Jia Zhangshi to death or not. The Deaf Old Lady's walking stick was the first to strike Jia Zhangshi's face, leaving a bloody mark directly on it.

Following closely, Yi Dama's brick smashed hard into Jia Zhangshi's face, breaking her nose bridge with one blow and covering her face in blood that wouldn't stop flowing.

Jia Zhangshi was stunned by the blow, and Yi Dama and the Deaf Old Lady took the opportunity to pull Yi Zhonghai out from under Jia Zhangshi.

After finishing all this, Yi Dama and the Deaf Old Lady were exhausted, so they simply sat on the ground panting.

"Yan Jiecheng, here is one yuan, take your First Great Uncle to the hospital," Yi Dama shouted immediately.

"Alright, I'll go borrow a flatbed cart from next door." Before Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he had already run to the front courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai and Yi Dama's credit was still reliable; if they said they would give one yuan, they wouldn't give nine mao. If Jia Zhangshi said that, no one would believe her at all.

Before long, Yan Jiecheng had borrowed the flatbed cart and parked it at the Siheyuan gate.

"Yi Dama, hurry up and take two quilts to spread on the cart. I'll carry the First Great Uncle onto the cart, you have to add another five mao for me," Yan Jiecheng said.

"I'll give you another one yuan. Yan Jiekuang, you go too, and I'll give you one yuan as well. You two must take good care of your First Great Uncle," Yi Dama said in a deep voice.

Yi Dama didn't care about Yan Jiecheng's extortion, or rather, this couldn't even be called extortion. Yi Dama's family had plenty of money; what Yi Dama cared about was getting Yi Zhonghai to the hospital as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, the brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang acted as if they had been injected with adrenaline and moved quickly.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang were also very smart. To prevent Yi Zhonghai's broken leg from being injured again and again and again, the two first lifted Yi Zhonghai onto a reclining chair, then carried the chair out the door, and then lifted Yi Zhonghai onto the flatbed cart.

Yi Zhonghai, having recovered a bit of his spirit, saw that Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang were working so meticulously, serving him even more carefully than they served their own father, and he immediately felt relieved.

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai solidified his decision to have He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu provide for his old age. He Yuzhu would be responsible for earning money to support Qin Huairu's family, Qin Huairu would be responsible for taking care of him, and if he needed to go to the hospital or something, he would spend a yuan or two to hire the Yan brothers to run errands.

"Perfect!" Yi Zhonghai thought to himself.

"Don't leave! Don't leave! None of you are allowed to leave!" Jia Zhangshi roared at the top of her lungs.

Jia Zhangshi had also sobered up, realizing that if Yi Zhonghai left, there would be no one to make decisions for her, and she couldn't beat Qin Mu, so her money would inevitably be taken away by Qin Mu.

Jia Zhangshi attempted a carp-leap-to-stand, but failed; subsequently, Jia Zhangshi rolled on the ground, stood up, and flew toward Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Dama was alarmed, fearing that Jia Zhangshi, without regard for the consequences, would give Yi Zhonghai's broken leg another hit, so she immediately reached out to pull Jia Zhangshi.

However, Jia Zhangshi was a heavyweight competitor, and Yi Dama couldn't hold her back at all; instead, she was dragged to the ground by Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing that Jia Zhangshi was about to rush up and hug Yi Zhonghai's broken leg, Yi Dama suddenly shouted loudly: "Ten yuan!"

Others didn't understand what Yi Dama meant, but Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang, and the Yan family all understood. Before Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang could act, Yan Jiefang acted first.

Yan Jiefang immediately rushed out and slammed into Jia Zhangshi, not only causing her to stagger but also knocking her off course.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang took the opportunity to put down the reclining chair, protect Yi Zhonghai behind them, and block Jia Zhangshi firmly, while San Dama and Yan Bugui took the opportunity to lift the reclining chair and walk out.

Jia Zhangshi desperately tried to chase Yi Zhonghai, but was held back firmly by the brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang, unable to move a single step forward. Enraged, Jia Zhangshi extended her Nine Yin Bone Claw and clawed toward the faces of Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang would not be polite to Jia Zhangshi, and took the opportunity to give her a sound beating.

Because Jia Zhangshi was usually too arrogant and domineering, offending everyone in the courtyard, the crowd wouldn't step forward to stop her when they saw her getting beaten; instead, they watched the joke from the sidelines.

In normal times, Yi Zhonghai might have stayed to help Jia Zhangshi, but Yi Zhonghai could still distinguish which was light and which was heavy; compared to that bit of Jia Zhangshi's money, his own leg was the most important.

After Yan Bugui and San Dama lifted Yi Zhonghai onto the flatbed cart, they immediately pulled him to the hospital, and Yi Dama and the Deaf Old Lady followed along upon seeing this.

Qin Huairu, who had been hiding in the crowd and not showing her face, also followed to the hospital upon seeing this. Seeing everyone leave, Jia Zhangshi made an even bigger scene, but unfortunately, no matter how much of a scene she made, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang wouldn't let Jia Zhangshi leave the Zhongyuan.

At this time, He Yuzhu also came to join the fun, having Daniu, Erhu, and the other children continue to sing.

Seeing that she couldn't break free from the obstruction of Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang, Jia Zhangshi began to throw a tantrum, rolling on the ground and cursing loudly, with all sorts of foul language pouring out. She not only cursed Yi Zhonghai but also Yan Jiecheng, He Yuzhu, and others, and even included Qin Huairu, the Deaf Old Lady, and the people of the Siheyuan.

He Yuzhu was not annoyed; with a wave of his hand, he said: "Two aunts, it's our turn to go on stage."

Huang Shen and Hu Shen had been eager to try from the sidelines, and upon seeing this, they immediately rushed up to engage in a cursing battle with Jia Zhangshi.

For a time, the cursing battle between the three could be described as sand and stones flying, the sun and moon losing their light...

At this time, three women who looked like shrews came before He Yuzhu and said: "Zhuzi, I'm from the Eighty-five Courtyard, my surname is Aunt Liu, this is your Aunt Bai, and this is your Aunt Hui. We'll help you curse Jia Zhangshi too, as long as you give us each two or three pounds of cornmeal."

"Damn! You all know about me inviting Hu Shen and Huang Shen?" He Yuzhu said incredulously.

"Everyone knows, the whole hutong knows," Liu Shen said with a fawning smile.

Now the whole hutong was saying that Shazhu was a sucker, and that he was extremely generous when looking for people to curse Jia Zhangshi, giving either cornmeal or eggs.

They wanted eggs too, but cornmeal was more practical.

"Alright, go ahead, three jin of cornmeal each," He Yuzhu said.

"Good, good, good, Zhuzi, just watch our performance," Liu Shen said, and after finishing, she led the two others to join the battle.

Jia Zhangshi was already at a disadvantage in the cursing battle with Hu Shen and Huang Shen. Once Liu Shen and the other two joined the fray, Jia Zhangshi was even less of a match. With all five of them attacking, they cursed Jia Zhangshi until she had no power to fight back.

Jia Zhangshi had no choice but to use her trump card—Undead Summoning.

While slapping her thighs, Jia Zhangshi rhythmically waved her other hand and shouted loudly: "Lao Jia, Dongxu, I'm being bullied to death, hurry up and come up to take them away."

The five aunts—Hu, Huang, Liu, Bai, and Hui—were clearly not ordinary people either. When Jia Zhangshi performed Undead Summoning, they performed it as well.

"Lao Jia, Dongxu, Jia Zhangshi has cursed you all to death, hurry up and take her away, otherwise, once she curses Bang Geng to death, your Jia family will be left without descendants..." Huang Shen shouted loudly, and the other four aunts followed suit, performing Undead Summoning.

Jia Zhangshi was instantly dumbfounded, then she pounded her chest and stomped her feet, roaring loudly: "What right do you have to summon Lao Jia and Dongxu?"

"They were all cursed to death by you, this jinx, why can't we summon them?" Hu Shen retorted.

No matter what Jia Zhangshi said, how she made a scene, or how she cursed, Jia Zhangshi was simply no match for these five aunts. Until Jia Zhangshi was cursed to the point of having no power to retort, these five aunts didn't stop, continuing to surround and curse Jia Zhangshi.

"Qin Huairu, you stinking bitch, I've been cursed like this, why haven't you come over to help me?" Jia Zhangshi suddenly remembered Qin Huairu and began to summon help.

As a result, Jia Zhangshi couldn't find Qin Huairu at all. Jia Zhangshi was startled and rushed into her home, only to find that not only was Qin Huairu not there, but Qin Mu was not there either.

"Bang Geng, where is your grandmother?" Jia Zhangshi asked urgently.

"She left," Bang Geng said.

"She left?" Jia Zhangshi's eyes widened, and she roared in a ferocious voice.

The subsequent matters were naturally taken over by the Street Office and the police station. Saving people was easy, but finding out the truth behind the matter was difficult. Moreover, with so many people coming and going, even if He Yuzhu had left some traces in his carelessness, they had been destroyed completely by these people.

Bang Geng wouldn't say that Qin Mu, in order to take this opportunity to escape quickly, had even stuffed two mao into the hands of Bang Geng and Xiao Dang.

With a miserable "Aow~", Jia Zhangshi let out a scream and ran madly toward the outside to chase back her money. Unfortunately, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang blocked the passageway between the Zhongyuan and the front courtyard firmly, not letting Jia Zhangshi pass.

"Yan Jiecheng, you dead-end, stingy old miser, hurry up and let me pass," Jia Zhangshi roared and cursed.
