Chapter 222: Jia Zhangshi Ran Away

Jia Zhangshi's showdown left Yi Zhonghai at a loss, while Yi Da Ma wanted to seize the chance to deepen her ties with Qin Huairu, but she also had to consider Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

She knows what Jia Zhangshi is thinking, so she can't cause trouble with Yi Zhonghai now—she's fallen for Jia Zhangshi's provocation.

Just then, Qin Huairu stepped forward.

Alright, enough about whether to support the elderly or not—Yi Da Ye's family's kindness to us is known by everyone in the courtyard.

Now Yi Da Ma still helps me watch the kids—what better neighbor could there be?

Yi Da Ye's family has done so much for us that they're no longer mere neighbors; they're closer than kin.

Moreover, Yi Da Ye is Bang Geng's adoptive grandfather and Dong Xu's master.

If Yi Da Ye ever needs our help, would we not lend a hand?

Would that still count as being human?

As for money and the house, they belong to Yi Da Ye; his courtyard can give them to whomever he likes, but we only recognize feelings, not money.

As soon as Qin Huairu said these words, they not only instantly resolved Yi Da Ma's dilemma, but also elevated the matter to a new level.

From then on, Yi Da Ye and his wife had to exert themselves to help them; they couldn't avoid putting in effort.

This effectively bound the couple directly to the Jia family.

At the same time, it helped her own son Bang Geng and Huai Hua resolve an open-and-covert struggle.

This was far more clever than Jia Zhangshi's approach.

It seems that since Jia Zhangshi returned, her mind has been getting duller and duller.

(Profit clouds judgment; I'll explain this here so everyone can read it more easily.)

Yi Zhonghai heard this and was overjoyed.

Good, Huairu, that was excellent.

I treat Dong Xu as my own child.

Bang Geng is even more my adopted grandson—if I don't treat them well, who would I treat well?

Yi Da Ma also looked happily at Qin Huairu; she hadn't wasted her effort helping Qin Huairu, exchanging sincerity for sincerity, and she had done nothing wrong.

Huairu, I see how hard it is for you to support a whole family alone; I wouldn't help anyone else—these are exactly what I ought to do.

Seeing her fierce attack shattered by Qin Huairu in just a few moves, Jia Zhangshi almost couldn't catch her breath.

Fine, fine, fine—you lot are the real family; now that Dong Xu has left, I'm the outsider. Qin Huairu, you're really something—are you trying to drive this old woman to her death?

Yi Da Ma pressed her advantage.

Pfft, Jia Zhangshi, none of this is your doing—just after Dong Xu left, how did you treat Huairu?

Did you give even a penny of Dong Xu's compensation to your own daughter-in-law?

And that's not all—does your daughter-in-law still have to give you money every month?

You could easily live well, yet you force them to eat only cornmeal and sweet potatoes.

And you still have the nerve to criticize others?

Just like that, Huairu hasn't said anything, has she?

What did you do afterward?

You neglect housework and don't look after the kids; the most shameless thing is that, as a grandmother, you actually cut back your granddaughter's rations.

Are you still human?

Even a tigress doesn't eat her young—you're worse than livestock.

Even after the split, you never showed much affection for the kids, and now you suddenly want them.

Ask everyone—does anyone believe you, this good-for-nothing?

After Yi Da Ma's barrage, Jia Zhangshi was left speechless.

Yo-you-you-you-you-you-you……

As Yi Da Ma exposed her shortcomings, the people in the courtyard also recalled how many shameful things Jia Zhangshi had done.

Yeah, Jia Zhangshi hasn't done a single decent thing.

Yeah, look at the life your daughter-in-law's family leads, then look at theirs—their newly renovated house is even better than where the old Buddha lived.

Ah, people just can't be compared—look at how Yi Da Ma treats Qin Huairu's family, then look at Jia Zhangshi; I think Huairu might as well just acknowledge Yi Da Ma as her adoptive mother.

This wicked mother-in-law truly doesn't let people rest easy.

…………

………

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to be drowned by public opinion.

blingblingbling………

Er Da Ye unleashed his might.

Alright, the matter is clear—Yi Da Ma and Qin Huairu are blameless; it's all Jia Zhangshi's unreasonable meddling.

But after all, Jia Zhangshi is a mother-in-law, and her original intention wasn't wrong.

So, following the principle of curing illness and saving lives, Jia Zhangshi, you should properly apologize to everyone and promise not to make the same mistake again.

This matter can then be considered settled.

How does everyone feel about that?

Is my judgment fair enough? The officials in the factory all do it this way.

As soon as Jia Zhangshi heard she had to apologize, a surge of anger rose up.

Why should I have to apologize?

Am I wrong? I did it for my grandson's good—what's wrong with that?

As a grandmother, am I not even allowed to look after the children?

Yi Da Ma was also dissatisfied with this result.

Er Da Ye Jia Zhangshi is blocking my doorway and scolding me; this should at least give me an explanation.

The folks in the courtyard also gave Liu Hai Zhong an odd look.

Sha Zhu clicked his tongue in admiration.

Er Da Ye handled this really well, but in the end no one bought it.

Liu Hai Zhong felt a bit embarrassed and shouted angrily at Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi, you cause trouble for no reason in the courtyard, stirring up wind and rain; asking you to apologize is already letting you off easy.

Don't give you face, you're shameless.

Hurry up and apologize to me.

Jia Zhangshi felt dazed today; not only did she fail to handle Qin Huairu and Yi Da Ma, but she became the courtyard's laughingstock.

Facing Liu Hai Zhong's fierce glare, she thought it over and felt it unwise to linger.

Liu Hai Zhong, what kind of second elder are you, helping others bully me, this old woman?

Old Jia, come and have a look; the person who once called you brother is now bullying your woman.

Shouting, Jia Zhangshi rushed to the door in two or three steps, opened it, stormed in, shut it—all in one fluid motion—then all fell silent.

Liu Hai Zhong was left dumbfounded; the person had run away—what to do? Which immortal handsome guy could give an idea? This is quite urgent.

Damn, I never thought Aunt Jia would play this trick.

Yeah, yeah, this shameless ancestor.

San Da Ye felt it was his turn to step up again.

The parties involved have left; let's drop this matter. Everyone, supervise Jia Zhangshi—if she dares to offend again, we'll criticize and struggle against her, destroying the courtyard's peace.

San Da Ye spoke up, and Yi Da Ye also waved his hand.

Let's disperse, let's disperse.

Er Da Ye also gave an embarrassed smile.

Today we've wronged Yi Da Ma.

From now on, if Jia Zhangshi offends again, we will certainly not let her off lightly.

Seeing that it was all huff and puff with no substance, the parties involved had run off; feeling bored, everyone slowly drifted away.

Bang Geng glanced at Jia Zhangshi's house, then at Qin Huairu, and afterwards obediently followed Qin Huairu home.

The struggle over the child ends here.
