Chapter 808

Nanluoguxiang

A net bag of yellow peaches hung from the handlebars of Cao Cao Weiguo's bicycle. Seeing this, Jia Jia Zhangshi was green with envy. She glared at Cao Cao Weiguo's back and cursed: "You black-hearted thing, still eating peaches, why don't you choke to death? You selfish, self-interested thing, sooner or later you'll ride your bike into a pit and break your neck!"

Yan Yan Fugui glanced at the venomous Jia Jia Zhangshi, turned away in disgust, and shook his head. This Jia Jia Zhangshi simply couldn't stand to see others doing well, as if the whole world owed her something.

What business is it of yours if Cao Cao Weiguo eats a peach?

Why go as far as cursing people behind their backs?

What kind of character is that!

Jia Jia Zhangshi didn't care at all about the gazes of the neighbors, muttering to herself as she got up to head home.

Just then, Qin Qin Huairu came out of Seeing Shazhu's room carrying a basin of dirty clothes and smelly socks. Jia Jia Zhangshi’s face turned blue with rage as she pointed at her nose and berated her: "You wash clothes for Seeing Shazhu every few days, do you still have any shame? Does Seeing Shazhu have a partner? Does he need you to wash his dirty clothes? Why are you so eager to do it? Tell me, aren't you cheap? Are you trying to marry Seeing Shazhu? You fickle, cheap woman! I’m telling you, as long as I’m alive, don't even think about marrying Seeing Shazhu. My Jia family can't afford to lose face like that!"

Qin Qin Huairu said angrily: "Mother-in-law, what are you saying! Your words are too hurtful! Don't you know why I wash clothes for Seeing Shazhu? If it weren't for Seeing Shazhu's help, our family would have run out of food long ago. Now that we have no grain to pay Seeing Shazhu back, I can only help him wash his clothes. Otherwise, if we just eat and drink for free without showing any appreciation, who will help our family in the future? When that time comes, will our whole family just stand there with our mouths open drinking the northwest wind?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi’s face looked ugly as she said: "Heh! You've grown capable, haven't you? You dare to talk back to me? Let me ask you, there are so many neighbors, why can't you borrow grain from any of them? Can't you borrow from the Li family, the Chi family? The Zhou family? And what about Xu Xu Damao, can't you borrow from him? Cui Cui Dake? Cao Cao Weiguo? Why do you insist on borrowing from Seeing Shazhu? I think you have ulterior motives."

Qin Qin Huairu sneered: "You still have the nerve to say that? Haven't I tried borrowing from them? But you’ve offended all the neighbors; who is still willing to help our family?"

These words made Jia Jia Zhangshi’s teeth itch with rage. This Qin Qin Huairu was truly becoming more and more daring. What was this? Had her wings hardened and she wanted to turn the world upside down? Daring to speak to her mother-in-law like this? She needed to be taught a lesson!

Just as Jia Jia Zhangshi was about to throw a tantrum, she saw Yi Yi Zhonghai come out of his room. She said sarcastically: "Yi Yi Zhonghai, your life is really quite nice. You’ve started your retirement life early—eat until you're full, sleep until you're rested. Bored with nothing to do, you come out for a stroll. You don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to do any work. You make me so envious."

Yi Yi Zhonghai said with a dark face: "Aren't you doing the same thing, eating and sleeping? Otherwise, how could you have grown so fat? You don't need to envy me."

Qin Qin Huairu said awkwardly: "First Uncle, please don't be angry. My mother-in-law didn't mean anything by it; that's just how she talks. She speaks without thinking, please don't take it to heart. It's so hot outside, where are you going?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai said with a sullen face: "Your First Aunt isn't feeling well, I'm going to the hospital to get her some medicine."

Upon hearing this, Jia Jia Zhangshi immediately perked up: "Old Yi, I’ve just run out of painkillers. Could you pick some up for me while you're at it?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly: "Didn't the doctor tell you? You can't take too many of those painkillers. If you take too many, it's just like smoking opium; it's addictive."

Jia Jia Zhangshi glared at Yi Yi Zhonghai with a malicious look: "If you don't want to help, just say so. Why all the nonsense? Now you're starting to lecture me? Who do you think you are?"

Yi Yi Zhonghai said indignantly: "Jia Jia Zhangshi, you are simply unreasonable. Like a dog biting Lu Lu Dongbin, you don't recognize a good heart."

Jia Jia Zhangshi spat on the ground: "Pah! You're not a good person at all. You don't have a human heart. Don't think I don't know what kind of wicked things you've done. What were you doing pulling my daughter-in-law in the alley the other night? You old shameless man, do you have any shame? I feel sick just looking at you now. If it weren't for the sake of my Jia family's reputation, I would love to tell Liu Haizhong and have him finish you off."

Yi Yi Zhonghai’s old face turned black and then red. He raised his finger to point at Jia Jia Zhangshi’s nose, trembling with rage and unable to speak. He flicked his sleeve and slunk away.

Not long after he left, Liu Haizhong came over in a hurry with Liu Liu Guangfu, turning his head to ask: "Where did Yi Yi Zhonghai go?"

Jia Jia Zhangshi said unpleasantly: "He just left, said he was going to the hospital to buy medicine."

Liu Haizhong glared fiercely at Liu Liu Guangfu: "What are you still standing there for, you useless thing? Why aren't you chasing after him? Don't leave his side for even a step. Keep your eyes glued to him for me."

"Understood."

Liu Liu Guangfu reluctantly took off to chase after Yi Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Jia Zhangshi laughed: "Ho, Second Uncle, you really are dedicated. How much does the neighborhood office pay you? Don't be shy, tell me so I can hear."
