Chapter 40: The Deaf Old Lady Makes Her Official Entrance

"Then tell me, whose is that bastard child she's carrying?" Jia Dongxu asked irritably.

This question left Yi Zhonghai unable to answer.

If it isn't someone else's, then it must be your own, isn't it a good thing to get a child for free?

Thinking of how he, Yi Zhonghai, had lived for most of his life without a single child, relying entirely on his foster son Shazhu for his old age, otherwise he wouldn't have to clean up Shazhu's messes every time something happened.

But Jia Dongxu clearly did not believe it was his own child.

After all, the facts were right before his eyes.

His lower body was shattered, so how could she possibly be pregnant like this?

The others didn't believe it either; how could she suddenly be pregnant? It must be some other man's seed!

"Um, allow me to say a few words!"

At this moment, Zhao Gangzi stepped forward, prepared to uphold justice for Jia Dongxu.

"What, you? Could it be that this child is yours?" Jia Dongxu flared up the moment he saw Zhao Gangzi.

This brat not only caused him to end up like this but also snatched their house, and now it seemed his wife's pregnancy also had something to do with him.

Jia Dongxu even felt like dying.

"Zhao Gangzi, why are you here causing trouble again? Get lost immediately!"

Yi Zhonghai got angry as soon as he saw him.

In this current situation, he still dared to come and stir up trouble regardless of the occasion.

However, Zhao Gangzi was truly not there to stir up trouble; instead, he looked at Yi Zhonghai with a wicked grin, making First Uncle feel a chill in his heart.

Suddenly, he had a bad premonition.

And the next moment, the words that came out of Zhao Gangzi's mouth left everyone stunned.

"First Uncle, did you invite Qin Huairu to the cellar in the middle of the night yesterday?"

"I saw this clearly!"

"In the middle of the night, a lone man and a lone woman, what were the two of you doing in the cellar? It couldn't have been to deliver vegetables, right?"

Then Zhao Gangzi recounted to everyone what he had seen last night.

Instantly, the entire courtyard went quiet.

Even Shazhu had not expected that the First Uncle he respected would actually do such a shameless thing, competing with him for a woman?

Once Zhao Gangzi said this, many people chimed in one after another.

"That's right! I seem to have some impression of this too; First Uncle always helps the Jia Family for no reason, there must be something going on here!"

"It's true, the Wang family in the Front Courtyard lives even more difficultly than the Jia Family, how come we never see the righteous First Uncle helping them?"

"Actually, our family is even more difficult..."

And delivering vegetables in the middle of the night, saying there's nothing going on, even a dog wouldn't believe it.

Jia Dongxu seemed to have some thoughts as well.

No wonder they had been able to eat cabbage every day for the past half month; so that was what it was all about!

"He must feel that First Aunt can't conceive, so this old thing found someone else to breed with, it's truly disgusting!"

Xu Damao, who loved to watch the chaos, stepped up and mocked him directly.

If it were any other day, Shazhu would have kicked him directly, but today he was surprisingly silent.

"Impossible! You are framing me, Zhao Gangzi, you are spreading rumors!"

"When did I ever deliver cabbage in the middle of the night? Who has ever seen this?" Yi Zhonghai widened his eyes and hurriedly waved his hands to defend himself to everyone.

But by now, no one believed him anymore.

"First Uncle, did I mention just now that you delivered cabbage in the middle of the night? You have confessed without being asked..."

Zhao Gangzi couldn't help but sneer.

With just these few sentences, he directly brought Zhao Gangzi a full twenty thousand points of Hatred Value!

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai really wished he could swallow Zhao Gangzi alive; to have such a thing pinned on his own head almost gave him a heart attack from anger.

Moreover, many people on the scene came out to testify, saying they had seen First Uncle and Qin Huairu together in the middle of the night, constantly sneaking into the cellar.

"Yes! That's exactly it, I saw it a few days ago too!"

Second Uncle called out with a trembling voice, extremely excited.

Even his two sons stood up and said they had seen it.

If this matter were set in stone, let alone his position as First Uncle, whether he could even continue living in the Siheyuan would be a question; Second Uncle naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to kick a man when he's down.

"Old Yi, I didn't expect you to be such a person, you really disappointed me!"

Third Uncle also sighed.

Lamenting that he had misjudged the man.

"No, it's not me! I didn't do this, don't listen to Zhao Gangzi's slander," Yi Zhonghai couldn't even speak clearly.

"Ah!!!"

The next moment, a miserable scream from Yi Zhonghai rang out.

And below, Jia Dongxu bit down hard on First Uncle's leg, tearing off a piece of flesh.

Instantly, Yi Zhonghai collapsed to the ground.

"You old black dog, it was in vain that I respected you so much before, you actually dared to cuckold me?"

"Damn it, no wonder you can't grow hair, and if you do, it has to be yellow! Screw your mother, you old thing!"

Jia Dongxu roared, climbed directly onto First Uncle, raised his fists, and beat him wildly without stopping.

Even Shazhu couldn't hold back anymore.

With sparks of fire in his eyes, he rushed over, kicking and stomping on Yi Zhonghai, and even threatened to sever their father-son relationship.

"Execution, a person like this should be executed! Report this to the authorities quickly! At such an old age, to be so shameless!" Zhao Gangzi hurriedly added fuel to the fire from the side.

At this moment, ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through Yi Zhonghai's heart.

"Qin Huairu, hurry over here and explain this to me!" Unable to hold on any longer from the beating, Yi Zhonghai shouted toward Qin Huairu to explain.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Qin Huairu could barely stay on her knees either, and she hurriedly shouted to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, stop hitting him, this child really is yours, why won't you believe it?"

"If you say another word, I'll beat you along with him; the facts are right before our eyes, and you're still saying these things—do you really take me for a fool?" Jia Dongxu cursed angrily.

"That's right, Sister Qin, don't be afraid, with me, Shazhu, here, I'll avenge you!"

Of the two, Shazhu was hitting the hardest; his teeth were almost knocked out.

If this continued, even if he wasn't beaten to death, he would be beaten into a cripple.

"Stop hitting, everyone, stop hitting!"

On the other side, the First Aunt was supporting the Deaf Old Lady as they came over from the house.

Seeing that the old lady had also arrived, the two finally stopped their fists, but by now, the First Uncle had been beaten until he was unrecognizable; if they kept hitting him, something terrible would definitely happen.

"Old lady, what are you here for? Yi Zhonghai has committed a major offense and must be punished," Liu Haizhong hurriedly stepped forward to block the old lady.

"Get out of my way, don't think I, this old lady, don't know what you're plotting; you just want to frame my godson so you can become the First Uncle, right?"

The Deaf Old Lady had long since lived to become a master of human nature, and Liu Haizhong's little schemes were seen through completely, but Liu Haizhong did not refute her; instead, he sneered and said: "Old lady, even if you are a Five-Guarantee Household, you can't help him; if this matter is exposed, it's punishable by execution, or at least fifteen or twenty years in prison, which is no different from execution."

"You had better not get yourself dragged into this, or there won't be anyone to look after you in your old age!"

It was clear that the relationship between Liu Haizhong and the old lady was not very good; after all, when he was running for First Uncle back then, this old lady had contributed quite a bit to his defeat.

It was precisely because of the title of "great filial son" that Yi Zhonghai had succeeded; otherwise, there was no telling who would be the First Uncle now.

"What, what did you say? My ears are a bit bad and I can't hear clearly, hehe," the Deaf Old Lady revealed a kind and gentle smile.
