Chapter 5

"Stop spouting nonsense with me. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Are you short of money?"

"You're just taking advantage of a crisis to bully Qin Jie!"

"Isn't it just because Qin Jie is pretty!"

"Isn't it just because Qin Jie has a nice figure!"

"Isn't it just because Qin Jie has a big chest and a perky butt!"

"Isn't it just because you want to do that with Qin Jie!"

"I'm telling you! No way!"

"With me, He Yuzhu, here! No one can touch a finger of Qin Jie!"

Cao Weiguo sneers: "Shazhu, I am asking Qin Huairu for debt."

"This is between her and me. What does it have to do with you?"

"What's going on? Have you and Qin Huairu become a family?"

"When did you marry Qin Huairu?"

"Or did you marry into the Jia family as a son-in-law?"

Shazhu turns red when he hears this.

Although this is what he dreams of.

But you can't just say it out loud.

A man needs face too!

The neighbors watching the fun in the courtyard burst into laughter.

The bold neighbors point at Shazhu and Qin Huairu.

There are many disputes in front of a widow's door.

Shazhu has been helping Qin Huairu for years.

This matter has long been spread in various ways in the Sihe Academy.

Jia Zhangshi rushes out of the room and curses loudly:

"Cao Weiguo, what kind of dog fart are you spouting!"

"Shazhu, Qin Huairu, you two shameless things!"

"The Jia family's face is about to be lost by you two!"

"If you dare to do anything disgraceful!"

"See if I don't tear you apart alive!"

Shazhu's deep-seated desire is exposed.

The neighbors' mockery and Jia Zhangshi's scolding make him even more angry and ashamed.

"Cao Weiguo, you're looking for a beating!"

The angry Shazhu clenches his fists and hits Cao Weiguo.

"Bang!"

"Ah!"

Cao Weiguo raises his leg and kicks, fast and fierce like a gust of wind.

This kick sends Shazhu flying, and he falls to the ground screaming.

Like a turtle flipped on its back.

"Cao Weiguo, why are you hitting people again!"

The Eldest Uncle pushes past the neighbors and hurriedly helps Shazhu up.

He looks at Cao Weiguo with anger, ready to hold him accountable:

"Can't things be discussed properly between neighbors!"

"How can you hit people!"

"This is too outrageous!"

In the courtyard, the Eldest Uncle is closest to Shazhu; this is something all neighbors know.

The reason is that the Eldest Uncle has no children and has taken a fancy to Shazhu to support him in his old age.

Cao Weiguo is calm and composed: "Ask Shazhu."

"Who started it? See who is outrageous!"

The Eldest Uncle naturally sees that Shazhu started it.

With so many neighbors present, he is embarrassed to argue.

But he still has to preach.

He cannot let Cao Weiguo ruin the atmosphere of the courtyard.

And he cannot damage his authority.

"No matter what? Neighbors should be united and friendly!"

"Everyone should love each other and be like a family."

"Things can be discussed; you can't just hit and hurt people!"

"As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor; how can you just hit people!"

"Our courtyard cannot have the barbaric and rude style of bandits!"

"If you have something to say, just say it!"

"We, the managing uncles, will make the decision for you!"

Shazhu gets up angrily and shouts:

"Eldest Uncle, this Cao Weiguo is bullying people, his character is corrupt!"

The Eldest Uncle stares at Cao Weiguo seriously:

"Cao Weiguo, tell us!"

Cao Weiguo sneers with contempt: "I'll tell you. Half a year ago, Banggeng had a fever and was hospitalized."

"Qin Huairu borrowed 10 yuan from me, and today I asked Qin Huairu for the debt."

"I am asking for my own money back; how is that bullying people?"

"10 yuan!"

"So much!"

"That's half a month's salary for me!"

"Cao Weiguo is really generous to the Qin widow!"

The neighbors present are surprised and start discussing.

In this era, 10 yuan is a huge sum of money.

Shazhu says angrily: "Qin Jie's family is a widow and orphans, they can't even eat, and they can't even drink enough porridge."

"You asking for debt at this time is bullying people! How is it any different from taking advantage of a crisis!"

Cao Weiguo says with a straight face: "No matter how Qin Huairu is living?"

"Borrowing money and paying it back is only right and proper!"

"Originally, I just mentioned it to Qin Huairu, and I wouldn't have urged her too hard."

"But since you are making trouble so unreasonably, don't blame me for not being polite."

After finishing, Cao Weiguo looks at Qin Huairu and says with a cold face:

"Qin Huairu, you must pay me back today."

"Otherwise, I will go to the neighborhood office and the police station to file a lawsuit immediately."

"Ah!"

Qin Huairu is immediately anxious and at a loss.

Jia Zhangshi jumps and howls:

"Cao Weiguo, you Huang Shiren!"

"You are trying to force our family to death!"

"Our family is living so bitterly!"

"It's one thing that you don't help, but you are still chasing us for debt."

"You heartless beast!" ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
