Chapter 199: White Gets Beaten

Yi Zhonghai watched the two people acting, feeling terribly upset.

This is his own wife.

And he also had his planned old-age caretaker.

Yet they kept targeting him.

Er Da Ye, with a Duang, smashed the teapot onto the table.

"Yi Da Ma, if you have something to say, say it; don't get physical."

"Go on, tell me exactly what happened that made you hit Jia Zhangshi."

"Your reason had better be sufficient, otherwise randomly beating someone is a crime."

"Quickly, quickly, bring out the strong evidence."

"Er Da Ye's intention to trap Yi Da Ye is too obvious; he might as well just ask directly."

"Come on, did Yi Zhonghai do something shameless?"

Yi Da Ma glanced at Qin Huairu, took a deep breath, and said angrily.

"She, Jia Zhangshi, seduced my man."

This is a big deal; in this day and age, messing around with male-female relations could lead to criticism and struggle sessions, and even severe punishment is possible.

Moreover, rumors have long said that she and Yi Zhonghai have a relationship.

Now it's just bringing the matter out into the open.

Yi Zhonghai's expression instantly relaxed; it's fortunate that Yi Da Ma didn't go too far, didn't directly accuse them of having an affair, and left him a way out.

He understood what Yi Da Ma was trying to do—she wanted to use this opportunity to drive a wedge between him and Jia Zhangshi—but now he had no other choice.

"Slander, it's all slander..."

Jia Zhangshi was the first to shout.

"I never did anything like that."

Yi Zhonghai's heart relaxed again, and he wanted to take the opportunity to bluff his way through, but seeing Yi Da Ma's fierce gaze, he instantly wilted, after all what he did was hard to hide.

Especially since Jia Zhangshi, in order to tie him down, had almost gone semi-public.

"I admit that I and Jia Zhangshi have indeed gotten a bit close, but I haven't done anything."

"Dong Xu is gone, and Bang Geng is more like my adopted grandson, so it's normal for me to have contact with the Jia family."

"Of course, during that period Jia Zhangshi did some over-the-top things, but I always avoided them."

"In the end he still sold out Jia Zhangshi; compared to his adopted grandson, his current safety is what matters most."

"Yi Zhonghai..."

Jia Zhangshi let out a loud cry.

"It's obvious you're always coming to our Jia family, and as soon as you arrive your eyes stick to Qin Huairu; you still falsely accuse me, slander me—you'll come to a bad end."

Hubbub...

This content is too explosive.

This is damn complicated.

Yang Qing even felt a bit dazed.

Yi Da Ye became angry out of embarrassment.

"Nonsense, utter nonsense."

Only He Yuzhu knows this should be true, because they are like-minded companions.

San Da Ye knows no one would admit to such a thing.

Continuing would just be a waste of time.

"Yi Da Ma, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Yi Da Ma shook her head.

"She often pulls my old Yi into the cellar."

"My old Yi's handed-over wages are also getting less and less."

"They all go into Jia Zhangshi's pocket."

Yi Zhonghai hurried to explain.

"That's Jia Zhangshi asking me for grain and money."

"Everyone knows Qin Huairu works, but because her wages are low, their household still can't make ends meet."

"And Jia Zhangshi eats a lot."

"And Dong Xu, on his deathbed, begged me to look after his mother and child."

"You tell me, can I not give?"

This reason can only be called far-fetched. But after all, they haven't been caught in the act, and everyone is neighbors, so no one has the heart to drive them to death.

Xu Damao wanted to do that, but lacking solid evidence, he could only reluctantly agree; otherwise he would have gone to the police already.

Er Da Ye slapped the table.

"Enough, since it's an aboveboard matter, why are you digging into cellars?"

"I think you're guilty as thieves."

"This time we didn't catch you in the act, but next time will be different."

"Since things are like this, don't blame Yi Da Ma for hitting Jia Zhangshi; she had it coming."

"Yi Da Ma, how do you want to handle this?"

Yi Da Ma said harshly.

"From now on, the household money must be controlled by me."

I don't trust them.

Also, keep Jia Zhangshi away from our house, or I can't guarantee I won't beat her to death next time.

Er Da Ye smiled and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

I feel this request is quite reasonable, Er Da Ye, what do you think?

Yi Zhonghai knew that Yi Da Ma wanted to get a hold of his money.

However, having caused trouble, seeing that Yi Da Ma didn't intend to press the matter to the extreme, he still had to accept this favor and could only agree.

All right, to avoid such misunderstandings in the future, I won't go to the cellar anymore, I'll help the Jia Family, and I'll have my wife do it.

Jia Zhangshi felt a chill in her heart; she had been abandoned.

But now she didn't dare to break face; if she didn't break face, she could still squeeze some money from Yi Zhonghai in the future.

If she broke face, she'd gain nothing at all, and might even be sent back to the palace.

At that moment, Er Da Ye looked at Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi, what do you think?

Do you still want to pursue the matter of Yi Da Ma hitting you?

Pursue it?

Jia Zhangshi glanced at Yi Da Ma, then at Er Da Ye, and took in the schadenfreude looks all around.

Only then did she suddenly realize her situation was actually that of someone despised and abandoned; in this compound she had no foothold at all.

In the Jia Family, ever since Qin Huairu got a job, she herself had lost even any status.

Pursue it?

She swallowed hard.

Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just drop it.

But I'll let the matter of Yi Da Ma hitting me go; however, the matter of Qin Huairu hitting me is not over.

Boom——

Qin Huairu hit Jia Zhangshi? Really?

Everyone in the compound became interested.

Qin Huairu burst into tears upon hearing that.

No, I didn't, Mother-in-law, how can you do this? First you slandered me and Yang Qing having something, spreading rumors about me everywhere, and now you slander me for hitting you—are you trying to get me killed?

Is it that only my death would satisfy you?

Seeing Qin Huairu feigning pity, Jia Zhangshi also flung herself to the ground and wailed.

It was Qin Huairu who hit me; I can swear to Old Jia that I'm telling the truth—if I utter even half a lie, let heaven strike me with thunder.

Look, see what she's done to my face.

Yi Da Ma snorted.

Jia Zhangshi, you're starting to openly frame people, aren't you?

Those were all just hit by me just now, and Zhuzi saw it all.

He Yuzhu also testified.

It was indeed Yi Da Ma who hit me.

Seeing no one believed her, Jia Zhangshi turned to her precious grandson.

Bang Geng, Bang Geng, come tell them whether Qin Huairu hit me.

Bang Geng shrank to the side, gave Jia Zhangshi an indifferent glance, then fell silent.

Bang Geng didn't speak, but Xiao Dang did.

No, Mom didn't hit you; you hit Mom.

Mom's arm is bleeding.

Boom——

Jia Zhangshi suffered another heavy blow.

She stared blankly at Bang Geng—this is her beloved grandson, how could she just watch him stand by while she's being framed?
