Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

Chapter 251 Jia Zhang's Blackmail

Look at Yan Fugui's mood, it can't be called complicated, it's simply weird.

Everything was fine when I went out, I just wanted to join in the fun, but now I can't go back, especially since so many people are watching.

Let them just watch, he can still tolerate it, but why is he blaming others? Weren't they united against the same enemy a few days ago?

Seeing that Yan Fugui was silent and swearing viciously, Jia Zhangshi didn't care whether it was New Year's Day or not. She had originally wanted to go out to join in the fun, but she was unexpectedly knocked down by a firecracker and her cotton trousers were torn to pieces. She was still feeling aggrieved.

He Yuzhu secretly glanced at Zhou Zheng, and happened to see Zhou Zheng's eyes looking at him. Then he smiled awkwardly and whispered, "I... will go back to cook."

Xu Damao was standing next to He Yuzhu, so he naturally heard what He Yuzhu said. In his heart, he despised He Yuzhu for being nothing, but he couldn't tell why He Yuzhu was nothing.

Liu Guangfu pointed at Yan Jiecheng, who was creating a plate, and asked tentatively, "Jiecheng, what should we do?"

Yan Jiecheng showed a confused and covered expression, and shrugged obscurely, "How would I know!"

"Mr. Yan, are you going to pay the compensation or not?" Jia Zhang shouted, focusing everyone's attention on Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui's face turned red, and he said stubbornly, "One hundred yuan is impossible. I can only give five yuan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Zhang began to wail again.

"Yan Laoxi, you are a damned beast. You are so ashamed to ask for only five dollars in compensation. You are treating beggars like this. Back then, my Jia family was a wealthy family. You are humiliating me like this. Do you think there is no one in my Jia family?"

Uh……

A strange expression flashed across the faces of the onlookers.

Isn't it just sending away a beggar? Now Jia Zhang's miserable appearance is even worse than a beggar.

Besides, your Jia family is almost extinct, so there is no one left!

Yan Fugui knew that he had problems, so he softened his tone and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, I know you have a hard time, but who doesn't have a hard time these days? You asked me to give you a hundred yuan, but that's asking for the lives of my whole family. And your house wasn't damaged by the explosion, so five yuan is a lot. Besides, you can't blame me for this. Who wouldn't set off firecrackers during the New Year? It's just a coincidence that your house was hit. I didn't do it on purpose. You can't be so unreasonable."

Jia Zhang was not a pushover and would not give in just because of Yan Fugui's two soft words. She glared at Yan Fugui with hatred and spat.

"Bah, you are so ashamed to say that. I have offended anyone and I deserve to be hit by a cannon. I know you all dislike me, but you still set so many rules for me. I have followed the rules, right? I opened my own door and it didn't bother anyone, right? You should set off the firecrackers farther away. It is reasonable to set off firecrackers in the yard. Old Yan, you are not a child, a child can't do such a thing. Now a cannon has knocked me down, and my cotton pants are torn to pieces. You say you can pay me five dollars to settle the matter, are you dreaming?"

Her words were not unreasonable, and the onlookers nodded.

Someone tried to persuade Yan Fugui: "Uncle, you are wrong in this matter. As the saying goes, if you kill someone, you must pay with your life, and if you owe someone a debt, you must pay it back. You fired the cannon and blew up the person. You can't be irresponsible. You are not a man at all."

Someone else said, "Old Yan, it's New Year's Day, just pay for it. It's a waste of time for everyone. We're making dumplings at home right now. Besides, is a hundred dollars a big deal to you?"

Some people also spoke up for Jia Zhang: "Let me be fair. Jia Zhang did not do well in the past, but she was not at fault today. How can you not compensate someone for being injured by firecrackers? We are not bandits or bullies."

Zhou Zheng didn't say a word the whole time. He disdained to bully the weak. Besides, Jia Zhang had been very respectful during the time she came back and hadn't caused any trouble.

Yan Fugui's gaze shifted to Zhou Zheng's face.

Zhou Zheng felt someone was looking at him so he followed the gaze and found that it was Yan Fugui who was looking at him hopefully. He could only reveal a helpless expression.

Yan Fugui actually wanted to bite Zhou Zheng, but when he thought of how terrible Zhou Zheng was, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger. He couldn't let Zhou Zheng be offended because of this.

He sighed and looked at Jia Zhang again.

"Sister-in-law, I definitely can't take out a hundred dollars, I can only take out fifty dollars. If you don't agree, we'll be the police officer, and you can report it to the police."

As he said this, he took out 50 yuan from his pocket.

Jia Zhang, with triangular eyes, got up from the ground as if nothing had happened, rushed to Yan Fugui at lightning speed, and snatched the 50 yuan.

But he pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Yan Laoxi, I only let you go because we are old friends, otherwise I would have reported it to the police. Don't be unconvinced. This firecracker ripped my cotton pants to pieces. This is just a piece I got, otherwise such a powerful firecracker would have broken me badly. Now I only ask you for fifty yuan, which is a great favor. Don't be ungrateful."

Yan Fugui could only force a smile and nod under the onlookers, "Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you are right, let's just forget about it."

Jia Zhang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Go over there? How can it be that easy? Today is Chinese New Year. How can I make dumplings if you are in such a state? Don't use your pig brain to think about it? Don't just think that I am fine. I am in so much pain, but I am not a young girl or a young wife. I won't bother with you, otherwise you will be in trouble. Logically speaking, you have paid the money and I have agreed, so I shouldn't bother you anymore, but you will definitely not be able to escape the New Year's Eve dinner today. I will go to your house with Bang Geng to have the New Year's Eve dinner in a while."

Yan Fugui's mouth twitched fiercely, and he said gloomily: "Old sister-in-law, this is inappropriate."

Jia Zhang said shamelessly: "What's inappropriate about this? I can't prepare the New Year's Eve dinner now. This incident was caused by you. If not your house, who else can I eat at?"

The matter was basically over at this point. No one wanted to see Jia Zhang and Yan Fugui quarreling, so they all dispersed.

Before leaving, Zhou Zheng invited Xu Damao, "Come on, Damao, you are alone at home anyway, come to my place to celebrate the New Year."

Xu Damao agreed with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality. I originally wanted to make some dumplings at home. It would be great to celebrate the New Year with you, brother. I just don't know if it is appropriate."

Zhou Zheng glanced at Xu Damao with a smile and said jokingly, "You are so hypocritical. You usually eat a lot, but you still ask if it's appropriate. What's wrong with you not having a pair of chopsticks?"

Liu Guangfu also heard what Zhou Zheng said, and he took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Zhou, what about me? Can I go to your place with my brother to celebrate the New Year?"

Zhou Zheng was startled, and looked at Liu Guangfu strangely, and said meaningfully: "Guangfu, you know that if you go to my house for the New Year, your father will beat you to death tomorrow. He really will beat you to death."

Liu Guangfu thought about the possibility of Zhou Zheng's words and couldn't help but shudder. He smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I'm just talking, talking..."
