Chapter 221: Fighting over Huahua, angering Yi Da Ma

Yi Zhonghai furrowed his brows and looked toward Yi Da Ma.

"What's the situation? Why did she suddenly want to raise a child?"

Yi Da Ma looked disgustedly toward the outside.

"What else could it be? It's just that during the day I held Huahua and Zhuzi's wife together, making her feel uncomfortable seeing it."

"When Zhuzi's wife had no child, I watched Huahua, busy and flustered, and in her eyes I was just someone working for nothing."

"Now Liu Shumin also has a child; we gather together, happily, and she feels uncomfortable in her heart."

"This bitch, she can't stand seeing others do well."

Yi Zhonghai roughly understood Jia Zhangshi's psychology.

Although Jia Zhangshi improved some relations with the courtyard residents over the house matter,

but this house, after all, is an inanimate object, so it only attracts attention for a while, and over time the effect fades.

Compared to the house, people prefer gossip and love discussing new things, such as the pregnant Chen Hong and Liu Shumin who just gave birth.

Adding Jia Zhangshi's sharp-tongued harshness, she is indeed unlikable.

Thus, inevitably, she began to be isolated again.

On one hand she is unlikable; on the other, her enemies are becoming more lively, so naturally her psychology becomes unbalanced.

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked out, shouting at Jia Zhangshi.

"Jia Zhangshi, are you starting to cause a scene again?"

"Just a few days of peace, and you're causing trouble again."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai come out, Jia Zhangshi became even more agitated.

"Yi Zhonghai, return my granddaughter to me."

Qin Huairu was holding Huahua and nursing her, when Jia Zhangshi's shout almost scared the milk back.

Her impression of Jia Zhangshi worsened.

She held the child and walked out of the gate.

"Mom, it was you who didn't want to bring the child; why are you making a fuss now?"

"I tell you, Huahua is my daughter; I decide who will raise her."

Jia Zhangshi's shout also drew the attention of the other courtyard residents.

Late at night, they were just about to eat when Jia Zhangshi's shout called them out.

Meals can be eaten later, but the liveliness cannot be missed.

Thus, the people in the main courtyard gradually increased.

He Yuzhu held his own daughter, walked out of the gate, with Liu Shumin following behind.

"Oh, Aunt Jia, did you suddenly discover your conscience and realize Huahua is your granddaughter?"

"I've always thought, Aunt Jia, you only recognize Bang Geng."

Jia Zhangshi originally saw that He Yuzhu's wife and child were both present, and she was unhappy; this was the blood bag she had prepared earlier, but it ran away for nothing.

Now hearing his sarcastic remarks, she became even angrier.

"Get lost, Sha Zhu is everywhere."

"Huahua is the granddaughter of the Jia Family; why should she be given to an outsider to raise?"

"It is only right and proper for me to take her back."

"You Yi Family, you impotent thing, wanting to snatch my granddaughter—don't even dream about it."

Yi Da Ma was so angry she couldn't stand it, wanting to rush over and give Jia Zhangshi two hard slaps; usually she'd let her sarcastic remarks slide, not bothering with her, but now she dared to touch her sore spot.

"Jia Zhangshi, today I'll beat you to death."

Yi Da Ma pushed aside Yi Zhonghai, who was trying to stop her, and rushed to Jia Zhangshi's face.

She was about to slap her, but Jia Zhangshi just lay down.

"Oh no, she hit someone—Yi Da Ma hit someone."

"She's bullying with power."

"I can't go on living."

"Old Jia, come take me away; I can't bear to live."

Yang Qing happened to witness this famous scene as he passed by.

Er Da Ye also came over at that time.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?"

"Elder Sir, you aren't even looking after your own people."

"Is there any propriety left?"

"Do you still put us three elders in your eyes?"

"Jia Zhangshi, shut your mouth."

"Hold a meeting, hold a meeting."

Soon the Eight Immortals table was brought out again.

Elder Sir still wanted to sit in the middle.

Er Da Ye grabbed him with one hand.

"Elder Sir, your family is meddling again this time; you're not fit to chair this meeting."

"You'd better sit at the lower seat."

Elder Sir's face stiffened, then he obediently sat in the seat usually occupied by Liu Hai Zhong.

blingblingbling………

Er Da Ye became the eldest again, and this feeling left him feeling doubly refreshed.

"Alright, Jia Zhangshi, come to the middle for me."

"Qin Huairu, you come over too, and Yi Da Ma."

After everyone was in place, Liu Hai Zhong looked toward San Da Ye.

San Da Ye originally thought he was just a nobody, never expecting Er Da Ye to have thought of him.

So he had no choice but to play the straight man.

"Cough cough, Qin Huairu, tell us what happened."

Qin Huairu held Huaihua.

"I'm still completely baffled."

"Originally, I and my mother-in-law fell out over the child's care, and only then did we have to split the household."

"I hadn't been back long when she came looking for me."

"She suddenly told me to take care of Huaihua."

"What are you thinking? You said you didn't want to look after the child, but now you're the one who has to."

"I know what she's up to? If she tries to sell my daughter, who can I turn to for justice?"

"So I refused."

"Who knows, she got her wires crossed again, started scolding me, then after scolding me, she started scolding Yi Da Ma."

"She's practically insane."

After hearing Qin Huairu's words, everyone finally understood what had happened.

Jia Zhangshi refused to go along.

"I want to raise my Jia family's granddaughter; what's wrong with that? I'm Huaihua's grandmother—why shouldn't I be allowed to raise her?"

"I think you just don't want my granddaughter to acknowledge me, so you can have her support Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age."

"Qin Huairu, tell me the truth—how much did you sell my granddaughter for?"

"I just knew Yi Zhonghai and his wife wouldn't be that kind."

Yi Zhonghai's face instantly turned as black as a pot bottom.

He didn't understand why Jia Zhangshi suddenly turned her hostility toward him.

Although they'd had little contact recently, he hadn't stopped helping her either.

As a result, his private savings had shrunk.

And this is what he got in return?

"Damn it, you can't raise them properly, huh?"

If it weren't for Bang Geng getting close with his grandmother now, would you believe I'd kill you?

Yi Da Ma didn't let Yi Zhonghai speak; she spoke up herself.

"Don't say it didn't happen; even if it did, so what?"

"I've raised Huaihua from childhood; what's wrong with her supporting me in my old age and seeing me through to the end?"

"I'll tell you, if Huaihua supports me in my old age and sees me through to the end..."

"Not only have I raised her to adulthood, but my wife and I will give her all our savings and these two rooms."

"It's still better than you being stingy and mistreating your own granddaughter, right?"

Boom

This sum of money was certainly large enough.

You know Yi Zhonghai's salary isn't small, and with the two rooms added, it's certainly not meager.

Even others were somewhat tempted.

Isn't it just about supporting the elderly and seeing them through? As long as there's money, nothing is a problem.

Jia Zhangshi, however, angrily retorted.

"Yi Zhonghai, you didn't say these were all for our family's Bang Geng, did you?"

"If you dare to leave these for Huaihua, don't blame me for going back on my word."

Besides, don't forget Huaihua is a girl; she'll eventually marry, and a married woman is like spilled water—worthless.

Are you really going to choose Huaihua and give up our family's Bang Geng?

Jia Zhangshi's words made Yi Zhonghai's heart shudder.

He didn't understand why Yi Da Ma would say those things; the person he had in mind for old-age support had always been Bang Geng.
