Chapter 1575: Jia Zhangshi goes on a rampage

Red Star Sihe Academy.

Qin Huairu returned home, and as soon as she entered, she saw Jia Zhangshi's gloomy and ferocious face: "Mom, who made you unhappy today? Did Banggeng cause trouble again?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Jia Zhangshi cursed loudly in a rage: "You shameless slut, you fickle stinking bitch, you still have the nerve to mention Banggeng? Now in your eyes, there's only your wild man Sha Zhuzi. Do you still remember you have a son? What, seeing Sha Zhuzi divorced, you're happy, and you want to live with Sha Zhuzi again? I'm telling you, don't even think about it! If you dare to marry Sha Zhuzi, I'll dare to burn your house down, and then I'll crash my head to death in front of you! I won't let you have a moment of peace for the rest of your life!"

Qin Huairu said angrily: "Mom, can you stop making unreasonable trouble? When did I ever say I wanted to live with Sha Zhuzi? Besides, even if I did live with Sha Zhuzi, wasn't it for our family? You tell me, all these years, if it weren't for Sha Zhuzi, could our family have eaten our fill? Where do your painkillers come from? You can't have no conscience!"

Jia Zhangshi glared with her triangular eyes, pointed at Qin Huairu's nose, and cursed: "You shameless thing, your fox tail is showing, isn't it? You really want to live with Sha Zhuzi. You don't keep your wifely duties; are you worthy of my son Dongxu? Are you worthy of Banggeng? You want to throw the face of the Jia family on the ground and step on it, making the neighbors laugh at the Jia family, right? You want Banggeng to never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life! You're too selfish! You aren't worthy of being Banggeng's mother!"

Qin Huairu said aggrievedly: "I'm selfish? How can you say such things! How much have I sacrificed for this family! I became a widow not long after I married, pulling this whole family along with my heart's blood. To let you all eat your fill, how many cold looks have I endured, how much suffering have I taken? Have you not seen any of it at all?"

Jia Zhangshi said righteously: "Letting this family eat their fill is what you should do. You are the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Don't act aggrieved with me. If it weren't for the Jia family, could you have entered the city? Could you have a job? Could you have eaten commodity grain? If you hadn't cursed my son to death, could the Jia family have ended up in this state? Would Banggeng have been bullied since he was small? Would he still not have a job now? You owe the Jia family more than ten lifetimes could repay!"

Qin Huairu sat on the bed in grief and indignation, her heart feeling as painful as if it were being stabbed by knives and needles. She had sacrificed so much for this family, and in the end, this was the reward she got?

Jia Zhangshi continued to curse with a gloomy face: "And that Sha Zhuzi isn't a good thing either. Stealing, cheating, and doing a basketful of bad things. His wife divorcing him is his own doing. A grown man who doesn't strive, circling around widows all day long—he has no face, and he deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of his life."

Qin Huairu's expression changed when she heard Jia Zhangshi cursing Sha Zhuzi, and she hurriedly said: "Mom, stop cursing! It's not good if Sha Zhuzi hears you!"

Sha Zhuzi still had some weight in Qin Huairu's heart, mainly because Sha Zhuzi had helped her a lot over the years; otherwise, she really didn't know how she would have supported this family.

Even if she didn't think much of Sha Zhuzi in her heart, after a long time, even if you raised a dog, you would have feelings for it. Not to mention that life was difficult now, Banggeng's job was still nowhere in sight, and there were many places where she needed Sha Zhuzi.

"What? You can't stand it when I curse Sha Zhuzi? Your heart aches?"

Jia Zhangshi slapped the table and asked, staring at Qin Huairu with sinister eyes.

Qin Huairu hurriedly explained: "Mom, I don't. I'm just afraid Sha Zhuzi will hear and it will affect the relationship between our two families."

Jia Zhangshi spat: "Bah! Do you think I'm senile? I'm old, but I'm not blind. I see the dirty things you and Sha Zhuzi do clearly. Don't think I don't know your thoughts. You don't want to be a widow anymore; you want to marry Sha Zhuzi. I'm telling you, no way!"

Seeing Qin Huairu sitting on the bed without a word, Jia Zhangshi was even more certain that Qin Huairu had the idea of remarrying. She immediately slapped her thigh and wailed: "Dongxu! My poor son! Open your eyes and look! Your wife is ungrateful, she doesn't keep her wifely duties, she steals men... Dongxu! Son! You're so pitiful..."

Qin Huairu rushed to Jia Zhangshi's side with an ugly expression: "Mom! What are you doing? Stop shouting! It's a joke if the neighbors hear!"

For this unreasonable, tricky, and mean mother-in-law, Qin Huairu wished she could send her back to the countryside. But this Jia Zhangshi had too many tricks, and that old bastard Yi Zhonghai was always spouting that "respect the old and love the young" and "filial piety is the most important" nonsense, making her unable to advance or retreat.

Jia Zhangshi said aggressively: "If you're afraid of being a joke, don't do those shameful things. You and Sha Zhuzi messing around outside—the Jia family has long since become a joke in the alley. Do you know why Banggeng doesn't want to stay in the courtyard? It's because the neighbors laugh at him! Do you know what Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng say about Banggeng? They say Banggeng is a bastard! They say his mother is a pair of broken shoes! Qin Huairu, you tell me! You cursed my son to death, and you still want to curse my grandson, harming my grandson so he can't hold his head up in the courtyard. You aren't a person! The Jia family was truly blind back then, believing the matchmaker's ghost talk and marrying you, this fickle jinx, into the family!"

Qin Huairu was cursed until her face was pale, and she retreated unsteadily, crying and complaining in grief: "Mom! Do you think I want to associate with Sha Zhuzi? Do you think I want to wash Sha Zhuzi's dirty clothes? I did it for our family! After Dongxu passed away, this whole family relied on my salary alone. Food, clothing, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar—which one doesn't need money? But my salary is only that much. If I don't scramble everywhere, what will our family eat and wear? And Banggeng—how many times has he been to the juvenile detention center, how much trouble has he caused? Now he's home, but do you know how tight the job positions are in the city? How many young people with good backgrounds can't find work, let alone our Banggeng? Why do I fawn over Sha Zhuzi? Isn't it for Banggeng, hoping Sha Zhuzi can solve Banggeng's job so Banggeng can have a place to eat? But I've done so much, and this is how you see me, how you think of me? You might as well force me to death!"

This cry and complaint touched Jia Zhangshi as well. She sat in the chair and stared straight at Qin Huairu, as if she wanted to see through Qin Huairu and see Qin Huairu's true face.

Jia Zhangshi knew the situation of the Jia family. She was unreasonable, but she wasn't truly stupid. How could a fool hold Qin Huairu so tightly?

After Banggeng came out of the juvenile detention center, he didn't stay at home for two days before being arranged by the neighborhood office to go to the countryside to join the production teams, and he only returned to the city this year. But even if he returned to the city, so what?

It was even worse than when he was in the countryside; at least there was work to do and food to eat. Nowadays, there are countless unemployed young people in Jingcheng. One position is sought by a hundred families. How many young people from good families can't find work, let alone Banggeng, who has a bad record? Banggeng is on the list at the neighborhood office. Waiting for the neighborhood office to arrange a job for Banggeng—that's never going to happen.

Because he had no job, Banggeng suffered endless mockery and cold looks. Plus, there was no place to live at home, and he wasn't willing to squeeze into a room with Yi Zhonghai, who was renting. He didn't stay in the courtyard for a few days before moving out, messing around everywhere with a gang of fox friends and dog companions, becoming a street loafer who didn't do proper work, causing trouble every three days, becoming the heart-sickness of the whole family.

Hearing that Qin Huairu did it for Banggeng, Jia Zhangshi had nothing to say. In the end, Qin Huairu was still an outsider in her heart, a tool person she had tied to the broken ship of the Jia family, while Banggeng was her own grandson, the only seedling and hope of the Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi stared at Qin Huairu and asked: "Does Sha Zhuzi have that ability? Can he solve Banggeng's job problem?"

Qin Huairu wiped the corner of her eye and said sadly: "Don't look down on Sha Zhuzi. Sha Zhuzi has a good relationship with Factory Director Yang and also knows a big leader. If he's willing to help, Banggeng's job will definitely be settled."

Jia Zhangshi said with a gloomy face: "Then is it that if you don't marry him, he won't help?"

Qin Huairu said with a worried face: "Sha Zhuzi doesn't have that many schemes, but don't forget he has a godfather by his side. I guess it must be Yi Zhonghai who gave the idea, letting Sha Zhuzi use Banggeng's job as a bargaining chip. If I don't marry him, Yi Zhonghai definitely won't let Sha Zhuzi help."

Jia Zhangshi was so angry her expression became ferocious. She slapped the table and cursed viciously: "Yi Zhonghai, that old bastard who won't die, he's the one who's done too many wicked things and ended up childless. This old lecher with pus on the soles of his feet, he deserves to die, he should be struck by lightning and drown in a latrine." ===== CHAPTER 1577 =====
