The fight is so intense that the neighbors watch with wide eyes, and cheers erupt one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It really lives up to the saying: \"Kind people are bullied, and good horses are ridden.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the past, Qin Qin Huairu compromised for Bangeng’s sake and endured Jia Jia Zhangshi’s oppression again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But because Bangeng went to the reformatory again because of Jia Jia Zhangshi, Qin Qin Huairu can no longer tolerate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If you can't tolerate it, you don't need to tolerate it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A great battle breaks out, turning everything upside down. Even though they are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are like mortal enemies—pulling hair, slapping faces, tearing clothes, poking eyes, biting ears, kicking crotches, swaying left and right, pouncing like hungry tigers, monkey stealing peaches, black tiger piercing the heart, two dragons playing with a pearl, widow crying at the grave... they fight as viciously as possible, wishing they could kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing them both covered in blood, Liu Haizhong and Yan Yan Fugui are afraid of a fatality, so they bite the bullet and bring their wives and children to break up the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Jia Jia Zhangshi and Qin Qin Huairu are pulled apart, Jia Jia Zhangshi sits on the ground and uses the \"soul-summoning\" technique, screaming at the top of her lungs to call Old Jia and Jia Jia Dongxu back to uphold justice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, Qin Qin Huairu doesn't indulge Jia Jia Zhangshi either; she goes straight back to the room to pack her clothes and takes Xiaodang and Little Huaihua back to her maiden home.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jia Jia Zhangshi doesn't stop her; instead, she slaps her thigh and cheers, telling Qin Qin Huairu that if she has the ability, she should never come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Qin Qin Huairu had taken Bangeng back to her maiden home, Jia Jia Zhangshi would definitely have stopped her, because Bangeng is the only seedling of the Jia family and needs to carry on the family line. But in Jia Jia Zhangshi’s eyes, Xiaodang and Little Huaihua are just \"money-losing goods\" who will be married off sooner or later, and keeping them at home is just a waste of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu taking the two little money-losers back to her maiden home just happens to save the Jia family’s food. Let Xiaodang and Little Huaihua eat the food at Qin Qin Huairu’s maiden home, then she can save a lot of food every meal—how wonderful it would be to eat two more steamed buns herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching Qin Qin Huairu take the children back to her maiden home, the neighbors point at Jia Jia Zhangshi, and eight out of ten criticize her for her faults.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Everyone’s eyes are sharp, and what Qin Qin Huairu and the Jia family have done cannot be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why are Bangeng’s hands not clean? That’s because Jia Jia Zhangshi, this grandmother, taught him well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now that the Jia family is falling apart, Jia Jia Zhangshi, this elder, has truly \"contributed\" a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai chase out of the Sihe Academy, trying their best to persuade Qin Qin Huairu not to leave, but at this moment, Qin Qin Huairu has been hurt to the core by Jia Jia Zhangshi, and in the heat of her anger, no one can stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Helpless, Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai can only watch Qin Qin Huairu go away. The reluctance in their hearts makes their eyes slightly moist. What a good woman—how did she end up in the Jia family? It’s like a fresh flower stuck in cow dung.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Old sister-in-law, tell me, what are you doing? Qin Huairu is such a good daughter-in-law. A woman who became a widow at a young age, never left the Jia family, works, and serves the whole family—which neighbor doesn't say Qin Huairu is filial and capable? Now that you’ve driven her away, who will serve you in the future? You’re so old, who can you rely on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt kindly goes to help Jia Jia Zhangshi up, but unexpectedly, a few words hit Jia Jia Zhangshi’s sore spot, and she scolds First Aunt viciously: \"Who do you think you are! My business doesn't need you to worry about! You barren hen, clucking and clucking here, what kind of good person are you pretending to be? I know what you’re thinking! You’re favoring Qin Qin Huairu just because you want Qin Qin Huairu to provide for your old age, right? I’m telling you! Don't even think about it! Since Qin Qin Huairu married into my Jia family, she is a person of the Jia family in life and a ghost of the Jia family in death. She can only serve me, I’m her mother-in-law, and she has to provide for me until I die. If you want her to provide for you, go cool off on the side!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt is so angry she almost blacks out, pointing at Jia Jia Zhangshi tremblingly: \"You! You! How can you be like a mad dog, biting whoever you see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi’s expression is ferocious as she throws a tantrum: \"Who’s a mad dog? Who’s a mad dog? You barren hen, I’ll bite you to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>First Aunt is scared and quickly hides far away. The neighbors point at Jia Jia Zhangshi, and the things they say are all sorts of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What a sin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Jia Jia Zhangshi just keeps on making trouble; sooner or later, she’ll break up the family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It doesn't need to be sooner or later; isn't it broken up now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bangeng was taught bad by this Jia Jia Zhangshi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Qin Qin Huairu is also unlucky; how did she end up with such a mother-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Bangeng is in, Qin Qin Huairu took the children and left—I wonder how Jia Jia Zhangshi will live in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing the neighbors’ chatter, Jia Jia Zhangshi explodes on the spot, pointing at them ferociously and scolding them: \"What are you saying! A bunch of long-tongued shrews! Does my Jia family’s business have anything to do with you? Do you need to be so nosy? A bunch of black-hearted, black-livered villains, not one good thing among you! What, do you think our Jia family’s orphans and widows are easy to bully? I’m telling you, I’m not someone to be trifled with! Get out of here! If you push me too far, I’ll scratch all your faces until they’re full of flowers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Second Aunt mocks: \"Jia Jia Zhangshi, what are you yelling about? Did you eat manure? Your mouth is so smelly. No wonder your daughter-in-law wants to go back to her maiden home. Living under the same roof as a mother-in-law like you is a living hell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, you! You’re talking nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi scolds everyone else, but she is a bit afraid of Second Aunt, only because Second Aunt’s husband is Liu Haizhong, who is a truly ruthless beast who beats his own sons to death. If she offends Liu Haizhong, can she still sleep peacefully?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It must be said that Jia Jia Zhangshi has perfectly demonstrated the art of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai walks over and says in a deep voice: \"Old sister-in-law, go home. I have a few words to say to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi’s face is ugly as she mumbles, turning around and walking home angrily: \"A bunch of heartless dog things, not one good person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What do you want to say!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Returning to the cold and cheerless room, Jia Jia Zhangshi sits in a chair with a gloomy face, looking as bitter as if she had been robbed of a hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Yi Zhonghai frowns and says in a deep voice: \"Old sister-in-law, you are confused! What is your family’s situation, what is your own situation—don't you have a clue? If Qin Qin Huairu is not in this family, what will you do in the future? Can you go to work at the Steel Rolling Plant? Even if you could, how many years could your body last? Don't you think about your own future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My family’s business doesn't need you to worry about! A married daughter is like spilled water. Even if Qin Qin Huairu goes back to her maiden home, there’s no place for her to stay. In a few days, she’ll have to come back and apologize to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi sits in the chair, laughing arrogantly and confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Qin Qin Huairu has suffered so much in the Jia family and has also gone back to her maiden home in a fit of anger before, but is her maiden home a safe harbor?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi knows the situation of Qin Qin Huairu’s maiden home inside out and is certain that Qin Qin Huairu won't stay there long and will sooner or later have to come back to be a beast of burden for her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1543,"2026-06-16T08:10:16.781Z","2026-06-17T08:52:03.356Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","04e139b506475fe8b5e8fff447d490f93195fd31b07c1232f2024c11f155a43b","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-790","siheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-beautiful-life-chapter-788",843,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsiheyuan-the-salted-fish-s-good-life-cover.jpg"]
