Chapter 7

Jia Zhangshi had never suffered such a big loss before.

"It's all because of this little slut, it's her fault, she hit Bang Geng, I bumped into her, I did it accidentally."

Everyone knows what kind of person Jia Zhangshi is, and she stirred up so many kids to have a snowball fight in the back yard with ill intent; seeing the broken glass at Yang Qing's house, they understood.

Jia Zhangshi was using their children.

"Pfft, bullying is bullying, but you also splashed dirty water on others."

"Jia Zhangshi, look, their footprints go all the way into the house without stopping; how could they have hit your Bang Geng? If you're going to lie, at least find a plausible excuse."

"By the way, which family are you from?"

Seeing this, Chen Hong understood that these people were not united; aiming to unite the majority and suppress a minority, she introduced herself with a pleasant smile.

"My name is Chen Hong, I am Yang Qing's wife, we just got our certificate yesterday."

A crowd clucked in amazement.

"This tall guy, he's really too tall."

"He's just a bit thin."

Seeing no one stand up for her, Jia Zhangshi became flustered.

"Are you deaf? I said it was her bullying the child."

"If you don't believe me, ask these little brats."

Chen Hong hit him with a blanket; it didn't hurt at all, and the little kid didn't care.

He just shouted, "Aunt Jia, that really hurt!"

Xiao Dang still sided with his grandmother, pointing at Chen Hong and saying.

"She hit him too!"

Chen Hong laughed and asked.

"Who did I hurt by bumping into?"

The little twerp thought about it, it didn't hurt, that wasn't me, so they all shook their heads.

All we can say is that kids nowadays are a bit thick-skinned, but they're honest, their family education is good.

Now Jia Zhangshi was stunned.

"Clearly she bumped into him, but I don't care; it's all that slut's fault, let her pay."

At that moment, Yang Qing took the blanket from Chen Hong and handed her the badge he was holding.

Chen Hong took the badge, approached Jia Zhangshi, lowered her head and asked.

"Do you recognize these characters?"

Jia Zhangshi, with her presbyopia, squinted and read.

"Something-something family."

A slap.

Chen Hong then slapped Jia Zhangshi across the face.

"This is the Family of a Martyr, you can't even read the characters fully, yet you dare to come out and cause trouble."

"Insulting a Martyr's Family, madam, you have committed a crime."

"Smashing up a Martyr's Family home is an even greater offense."

"Very good, excellent, I'm going to report this to the police right now."

Everyone shuddered in shock, a wave of fear, fortunately we hadn't helped Jia Zhangshi just now.

Jia Zhangshi was also startled by Chen Hong's cold smile.

"You're lying, you're pretending to be a Martyr's Family, you're just a refugee—how can you prove you're a Martyr's Family?"

"I say this badge is stolen."

Yang Qing said calmly.

"This is from the Jiedao office, issued by Director Wang."

Ga……

Jia Zhangshi was dumbfounded.

"Come on, let's go to the police station and talk it out properly."

Jia Zhangshi kept stepping back.

"No, no, I'm not going; matters of the compound should be settled within the compound."

"Right, our compound has elders."

Chen Hong snorted.

"If you won't go, I will."

Saying that, she walked out.

Just then Qin Huairu appeared.

"Oh dear, what's happening, everyone's running outside in this freezing weather."

Second Aunt spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Your mother-in-law insulted the Martyr's Family; they're going to file a report."

"How could that be? How could it happen? There must be a misunderstanding; my mother-in-law is most afraid of official matters, everyone knows that."

Qin Huairu blocked Chen Hong.

"Yang Family daughter-in-law, this is a misunderstanding; I apologize on behalf of my mother-in-law."

"Sorry, please forgive my mother-in-law."

Saying this, she stuck out her belly and was about to bow to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong hurried to stop her, knowing that once the pregnant woman came out, things couldn't go too far; the deterrent effect had already been achieved, and there was no need to make people think she was too cold-blooded.

She said coldly.

"Not to be repeated."

Then she turned and approached Jia Zhangshi.

"Fix the glass before dark, or we'll see each other at the police station."

Jia Zhangshi was now frightened by the Martyr's Family badge that Chen Hong suddenly produced.

She was a rural resident; if the matter really blew up, she might not be able to stay in this compound.

Especially since Director Wang and Yang Qing were in cahoots, it was hard to guarantee she wouldn't seize the opportunity.

So she didn't dare talk back, just held her neck stiff and stayed silent.

Chen Hong let out a cold laugh.

Qin Huairu, seeing it was bad, hurriedly said.

"Fix it, I'll definitely fix it; my family still has a few pieces of glass, I'll have Bang Geng bring them over."

Bang Geng had been pressed too hard by Jia Zhangshi, his intestines almost squeezed out, and only now did he recover some strength.

"Not giving, not giving..."

Qin Huairu had no choice; Bang Geng had been spoiled by his grandmother, and she couldn't persuade him.

"Xiao Dang, go home and get the glass."

Xiao Dang, upon hearing that, ran off pitter-patter.

At this time, the glass pieces were all small, especially the window-pane glass of the siheyuan, which was even smaller.

Soon Xiao Dang brought over several pieces.

In the end, Yang Qing got a few pieces of glass, and that was that.

After everyone left, Yang Qing raised his thumb.

"Wife, you're the one."

Chen Hong arrogantly lifted her chin: "Mongrel dogs and tile chickens, not worth mentioning."

But Yang Qing knew the disgusting things were still to come.

Sure enough, as evening approached, Jia Dongxu came running over with Sha Zhu, full of menace.

"Yang Qing, get out here."

Upon hearing that, Chen Hong went to meet Jia Dongxu.

"What do you want? Want to hit me?"

Jia Dongxu stepped back.

"Move aside, I'm looking for Yang Qing."

"My husband's cooking, I don't have time to deal with you."

Jia Dongxu didn't dare move Chen Hong; apparently he knew her identity, so he could only shout into the house.

"Yang Qing, are you still a man, hiding behind a woman?"

"Come out, let's have a one-on-one."

Yang Qing sauntered out; at a glance, Jia Dongxu saw that Yang Qing had changed—his back was straight, his courage grown, and he dared to meet his gaze.

He felt a strong provocation.

"You bastard, you dare hit my mother; I'll beat you to death."

Saying that, he charged forward.

But as soon as he moved, Chen Hong also moved, firmly blocking Jia Dongxu's path.

"Sha Zhu, go hit Yang Qing; let's see who she can stop."

Sha Zhu had been watching the show; hearing that, he could no longer stay idle and rushed over, full of righteousness.

"Grandson, let's practice."

Yang Qing gave a heh-heh laugh, swiped, and pulled out a kitchen knife from behind his back.

"Come on, grandson, let's see who dies; I'll hack you to death, counting as protecting the Martyr's Family; if you kill me, that's bullying the Martyr's Family."

"Come on, practice, practice."

Sha Zhu was stopped by Yang Qing's shout; he wasn't really stupid and could still tell the difference in ability.

"Ah, East Brother, you see we don't need to fight, right?"

"If there's an issue, we'll go find the elders in the courtyard; they'll give us an explanation."

Jia Dongxu, seeing things couldn't be opposed, snorted.

"We'll meet at the courtyard assembly, grandson; you won't be able to overturn heaven."

Having said that, he left with Sha Zhu.

Chen Hong, seeing them leave, said.

"This Sha Zhu isn't stupid after all."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Lust confounds the mind; he's only foolish over Qin Huairu, but in other respects he's sharp."

"When his father ran off, he immediately cozied up to an elder and a deaf old lady."

"These two are the top figures in our courtyard; he's won them over—how could he be stupid?"

"Heroes find it hard to pass the beauty's gate."
