If it succeeds, our assets will at least triple. First Uncle will have at least 4,000!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s half a ten-thousand-yuan household! What kind of work can you do to earn this much in a lifetime!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"300 yuan—you can earn it, but it won't even double. But this opportunity is rare; there will be few such money-making opportunities in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think if you really want to cooperate with us, find a way to get another 200 yuan. If you pool 500 yuan, it will triple!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s over 1,000 yuan! You can buy a house, marry a wife, and find a job at your age. Your life will be great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao was happy when he heard 300 yuan; he thought Sha Zhu could only come up with 100!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Xu Damao didn't want to let it go; he had to keep fooling Sha Zhu to see if he could get another 200!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai was listening eagerly. If Sha Zhu could invest and make money, Sha Zhu would have money, and if he could marry a young wife, he wouldn't have to worry about his old age!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Sha Zhu would have money, wouldn't need to spend his own, and he could even get a son and daughter-in-law for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, Brother Zhuzi, Xu Xu Damao is right. I did invest over 1,000 yuan. I think this opportunity is rare. Why don't you find a way to borrow some!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It won't take a week for our money to come back! Then I’ll introduce you to a girl, and you’ll definitely live a good life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai helped Xu Xu Damao with the assist, clearly not stopping until Sha Zhu was ruined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu had been a laborer for 10 years and had finally managed to get 300 yuan from He Yushui, but he had fallen into such a big trap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can try, but I really don't have anywhere to get money. Can I borrow it from somewhere else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was tempted. After all, an opportunity for over 1,000 yuan was in front of him, and Yi Yi Zhonghai was guaranteeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Such a large sum of money, even in this era, would be enough for one to live quite well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He Yushui, you damn bitch, now that you have such a large restaurant, you still won't give me a head chef position. You just wait and see; once I make my fortune, I'll make sure you regret it before it's too late!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu, currently living in He Yushui's house, continued to curse her, thinking to himself that after he made his money, he would definitely make He Yushui's life worse than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sha Zhu had only been lying on the bed for a few minutes when he heard sounds coming from outside the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the names being shouted were ones Sha Zhu found incredibly familiar no matter how he listened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Zhangshi, how did you come back from the countryside? It's been years since anyone saw a shadow of you; why have you suddenly returned to our courtyard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, it's truly a coincidence. Sha Zhu only just moved back in a few hours ago; you two wouldn't have planned this, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's been ten years already, and I never expected you two to still have such deep feelings for each other. Come, come! I'll take you to see the room Sha Zhu just moved into!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd saw the old woman at the courtyard gate with hair that had long since turned white, it took them a long time to recognize that this person was actually Jia Jia Zhangshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years had passed, and Jia Jia Zhangshi's hair had turned frighteningly white. The wrinkles on her face were many times more numerous than before, and her face was covered in pockmarks and freckles, which, paired with her fat-pig face, was truly hideous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What! That bastard He Yushui is actually back? Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I originally came back to find that bitch Qin Qin Huairu, but I never expected to see this He He Yuzhu. In these ten years, he hasn't made a single sound!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I never thought that coming back to the courtyard this time would allow me to see him. Take me to see him, let me see this heartless man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi stood frozen in place for a moment before she finally reacted, never having expected that her husband, Sha Zhu, had actually returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi had not failed to actively look for Sha Zhu during these ten years, but Sha Zhu had been completely silent, not even daring to show his name or face to anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had originally heard in the countryside that Qin Qin Huairu was doing big business in the city and had planned to come back to suck Qin Qin Huairu's blood, but she never expected to hear news of Sha Zhu the moment she returned to the courtyard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was currently pressed against the door, listening clearly, and felt a chill run down his spine. He still hadn't divorced Jia Jia Zhangshi, and he never expected that she hadn't died in these ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Sha Zhu prepared to push the door open and leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he pushed the door open, Jia Jia Zhangshi was already standing at the door with the crowd waiting for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the husband and wife who hadn't seen each other in ten years stared at each other, their eyes filled with hatred; it was clear that both sides hated each other to the bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, both Jia Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu believed that the reason their lives were so painful and miserable now was because the other had harmed them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten years Jia Jia Zhangshi spent living under someone else's roof in the countryside were truly not a life for a human; she had to endure cold looks every day and ate the worst food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that Jia Jia Dongxu had died, Qin Qin Huairu was nowhere to be found, and there hadn't even been any news of Sha Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Sha Zhu's life was even more miserable, far worse than Jia Jia Zhangshi's. He had lived in a psychiatric hospital for so many years, and all these years he had been hiding and doing odd jobs, not even having a place to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He He Yuzhu, you animal, you still know how to come back now? Where have you been all these years? Do you know how miserably you've harmed me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now I don't have a house, my son is dead, and my grandson doesn't want to see me. These are all things you've harmed me with, you've turned me into someone with no descendants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me quickly, where the hell have you been all these years? Have you gotten my house back for me or not? If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi was in the state of a shrew cursing in the street, completely unafraid of Sha Zhu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Jia Jia Zhangshi's hair was white and ten years had passed, her posture was still as vicious as ever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu looked at the old woman who had become so ugly before his eyes, and a sigh escaped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does how you've been living have to do with me? Do you think I've had a good time these ten years? I've had nothing to do with you for a long time; didn't I make that clear to you before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your house is gone, your son is dead, and your grandson ran away—what the hell does that have to do with me? Why should I be responsible for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop using a chicken feather as a token of authority here. What you've become has nothing to do with me; even if you died and were eaten by dogs, it wouldn't have anything to do with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sha Zhu felt guilty at this moment, since he still had a marriage certificate with Jia Jia Zhangshi, his mouth was unforgiving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also knew that if Jia Jia Zhangshi blackmailed him now, he wouldn't be able to spend the 2,000 yuan he was about to get properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard, do you know what you're saying? You still have a marriage certificate with me! Don't think you can just kick me away with one foot. If you don't compensate me for these ten years, I'll go to the police station and report you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have a marriage certificate with me, so half of the money you have must be split with me. Do you really think you can just shake your tail and leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know what kind of life I've been living? This is all because of you, you animal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Sha Zhu was unwilling to take responsibility, Jia Jia Zhangshi immediately brought up the marriage certificate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said don't mention the marriage certificate here. If you hadn't been sent to prison ten years ago, I would have divorced you long ago. Now that there's this opportunity, it's even better; let's just divorce directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don't think about blackmailing me for money or sucking my blood. I don't have that much money for you to suck. My life is worse than yours right now, and I don't have a single cent to pay you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're willing to divorce me, then we can part on good terms. Maybe I'll even burn a stick of incense for you after you die. Stop looking for trouble here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu clearly had no intention of taking out a single cent. He had lived a life of poverty all these years, so how could he possibly give his money to Jia Jia Zhangshi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, if you talk like that, it won't work. How did I hear Xu Xu Damao shouting in this courtyard just now that you and Yi Yi Zhonghai have invested quite a bit of money? I heard you might get at least 500 yuan out of it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what, Jia Jia Zhangshi is still your legal wife. If you don't give her a single cent, you'll be held legally responsible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not to mention that Jia Jia Zhangshi is already so old; you're not even willing to give her money—are you expecting her to drink the northwest wind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the courtyard were becoming increasingly shrewd, knowing that if Sha Zhu didn't give Jia Jia Zhangshi money, she would definitely make a scene in the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had lived ten years of peaceful life and didn't want to be disgusted by Jia Jia Zhangshi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard, you can come up with 500 yuan, but you won't get my house back, and you won't give me a single cent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going to the police station to report you right now. I want to see if your 500-yuan business can even go through. I'm going to report you for abusing me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Jia Jia Zhangshi heard that Sha Zhu could suddenly produce 500 yuan, her eyes turned red. After all, the money she had been able to spend each month for these years hadn't exceeded two yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jia Jia Zhangshi had been in the countryside all these years, helping others work in the fields and doing chores!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, she couldn't even get one yuan on normal days; the two yuan she got each month was only during festivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her only thought now was to suck Sha Zhu dry. No matter what, she had to get a sum of money from him, otherwise, it wouldn't be worth the suffering she had endured all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Zhu was also a bit panicked. He had learned from Xu Xu Damao that the business they were doing this time wasn't exactly glorious. If they went to the police station, the police might find out about their smuggling ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that 500 yuan had already been invested, if anything went wrong with this business, Sha Zhu would be completely finished for life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Jia Jia Zhangshi, try to calm down. No matter what, we are still legally married, there's no need to make such an ugly scene!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To tell you the truth, this 500 yuan is all my savings from the last ten years, and I even borrowed money from others. Not only do I not have a single cent on me, but I also owe others money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be so agitated, let's talk things over properly. I couldn't find you, which is why I haven't met with you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frightened Sha Zhu was truly worried that Jia Jia Zhangshi would call the police, so he could only hurriedly try to soothe her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, his concession would only make the greedy Jia Jia Zhangshi even more arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sha Zhu's posture, she clearly knew that her threat had worked, and she was now thinking about how to get the money quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't give me that nonsense. If you can borrow the first sum of money, you can borrow the second. If you can get your hands on 500 yuan, what's wrong with giving me 100 or 200!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don't see 100 yuan today, you just wait for me to sue you at the police station. You damn animal, I want the whole world to see your true face!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2271,"2026-06-16T18:44:27.665Z","2026-06-16T19:13:36.245Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e46e9fec6e10ba92d6032fcb1376f841aed671d40680887a9f4fac694960ecf3","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-265","siheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-chapter-263",308,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-confronting-widow-jia-and-sending-her-t-cover.jpg"]
