Chapter 89: Eighth-Ninth Chapter: Attacking the Jia Family

The two brothers were so unbearably greedy that Liu Guangfu went straight to the entrance of the Jia Family, pried at the door crack to look inside, and shouted, "Where did your family get a chicken? It wouldn't happen to be from Shazhu's place, would it?"

"Hurry up and let us have some too, or we'll go report you right now!"

Liu Guangfu was very shrewd; he knew the Jia Family couldn't afford chicken, and since Shazhu happened to have two, he suspected that Jia Zhangshi had stolen them.

After all, that old thing had been sent away last time for stealing.

"Hmm? Kiss my ass!"

"You two little beasts, get lost! What our Jia Family does is none of your business! Don't go dumping your filth on our heads," Jia Zhangshi cursed, grabbing a broom and preparing to strike the two brothers.

"Damn, the old thing is still so fierce even with a missing butt cheek. I bet it was your family that stole the chicken. If you don't let us eat, we're reporting you!"

Liu Guangfu cursed loudly while dodging.

Jia Zhangshi's forehead veins bulged; she had lost half her butt to a police dog last time because of that jailbreak incident, and now that Liu Guangfu brought it up, her entire old face turned black.

"Our family has been law-abiding citizens for three generations and never steals! If you dare to frame us, I'll sue you for slander!"

"Don't think that just because your father is Liu Haizhong, you can do whatever you want!"

Jia Zhangshi swiped the broom onto Liu Guangfu's butt, making him yelp; the old thing had actually nailed spikes onto the broom! That was fucking ruthless!

"Brother! I'm coming to save you!"

Not far away, Liu Guangtian held a large brick and smashed the Jia Family's glass window to pieces with a loud *clang*, and a scream from Bang Geng could be heard from inside the house.

Taking advantage of this moment, the two brothers ran away so fast that they disappeared in no time.

"I'm so pissed off!"

Jia Zhangshi was gnashing her teeth in hatred, while Bang Geng, covered in glass shards, lay on the ground wailing and refusing to get up no matter what.

Facing this situation, the three people in the house felt a bit guilty; if Shazhu suddenly returned, they might end up getting beaten again.

"Mom, hurry up and stew the chicken. As long as we eat it, nothing will be found," Jia Dongxu suggested.

"Damn it, what bad luck today! Ptooey!"

Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but let out a string of curses.

Those two little brats actually smashed our window; the weather was already so cold, and now the freezing wind was whistling into the room, almost blowing out the flames under the pot.

By the time the chicken in the pot was stewed, the whole room was filled with the aroma. At the window, Jia Dongxu found an old newspaper to patch the hole, shivering all over from the cold.

"Chicken! I want to eat chicken!"

Smelling the fragrance, Bang Geng ignored the pain on his body and scrambled up; if Jia Zhangshi hadn't stopped him, he probably would have jumped straight into the pot.

"Good grandson, don't rush, we're eating right now!"

Jia Zhangshi was full of smugness.

It seemed that after all these years, her cooking skills were still excellent.

Afterward, she took several white flour steamed buns that had been sitting in the cupboard for days and placed them all on the table, not leaving a single one for Qin Huairu.

Jia Dongxu still had a bit of conscience and knew to scoop a bowl of chicken soup for his daughter Xiaodang, while Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng started devouring the food directly, chewing up everything—chicken meat and bones alike—and swallowing it all.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu couldn't even bother to feed the chicken soup to Xiaodang; he hurriedly leaned over the table to grab some, "Son, don't eat so fast, leave some for your old man!"

"Don't fight over it, we've stewed both chickens anyway, we'll definitely be stuffed," Jia Zhangshi said while shoveling meat into her mouth, her other hand not stopping as she frantically grabbed white flour buns to stuff into her mouth.

Anyone who didn't know better would think this family hadn't eaten anything good for hundreds of years.

It was just a pity for these two chickens; they were served on the table before they could even lay a few eggs.

"These two chickens are strange, they didn't even put up a fight. Mom, do you think these might be diseased chickens?"

Jia Dongxu asked casually.

"Even if they are diseased, it doesn't matter. Once you boil them in the pot, there's nothing wrong with them. You really don't know how to eat," Jia Zhangshi didn't take it to heart at all.

Soon, one chicken was eaten clean, not even the bones were left. Then, three pairs of greedy, glowing eyes fixed on the other stewed chicken.

Outside the courtyard, the two brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian were also getting anxious. They could hear the sound of the Jia Family eating meat from outside and were dying to rush in and grab a bite.

But that old thing's combat power was too strong; even the two of them, young and strong, couldn't handle her.

"Guangfu, it's confirmed, it was their family that stole the chicken. Both of Shazhu's chickens are gone, leaving only the basket and a few feathers," Liu Guangtian ran over from the Middle Courtyard and recounted the situation at Shazhu's place.

Hearing this, Liu Guangfu's mind raced, and he hurriedly took Liu Guangtian to the Front Courtyard to find the Yan brothers. As soon as Yan Jiekuang heard there was meat to eat, his eyes lit up immediately.

Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang also gathered around, insisting they had to go to the Jia Family to demand some meat, or else they would all go to the Rolling Mill to report them.

And get that old thing locked up for a year or eighteen months.

"Don't be in a hurry, bring some tools from home; there's bound to be a fierce battle," Liu Guangfu said.

Hearing this, the others nodded in unison. After all, Jia Zhangshi had quite a notorious reputation in the courtyard; not only was she thick-skinned and tough, but her combat power was also in the top tier of the Siheyuan.

Afterward, each of them grabbed a fire poker, returned from the Front Courtyard to the Back Courtyard, and stood at the entrance of the Jia Family, ready to challenge them.

"Listen up, people inside, you are surrounded! Hurry up and hand over one of the chickens you stole, or we're going to report you right now!" Liu Guangfu shouted, pointing his fire poker at the Jia Family's entrance.

"That's right, you must share one with us, and we can even keep your secret!"

The Yan brothers also chimed in at the door.

But after a while, there was no reaction from inside the Jia Family's room.

The group tentatively shouted again.

But it was the same as before; not a single sound came out.

"Forget it, let's break in first. What if they finish eating the chicken!" Yan Jiefang, unable to suppress his restless heart, was the first to rush over with his fire poker, and with a *bang*, he kicked open the Jia Family's door.

But the next moment, Yan Jiefang covered his nose and fled in a panic, even losing the fire poker in his hand.

The group was confused; could there be some kind of ambush inside? Had this old thing learned military strategy? Did the prison have that as a course!?

"Jiefang, what's going on? Did you get ambushed by Jia Zhangshi? We'll go avenge you right now!"

Yan Jiecheng's brow furrowed sharply, and he raised his stick, ready to avenge Jiefang. The others were equally indignant; this old thing not only stole things but also dared to hit people.

But after a moment, Yan Jiefang shook his head, his face slightly panicked as he said, "No, it's too terrifying inside their house, you guys better go see for yourselves!"
