Wan Ping'an looked at Jia Zhangshi with a smile.
Madam Jia shuddered, her face turning pale. She couldn't bear such a slap alone; one slap would send her to meet Old Jia in the underworld.
She didn't dare utter a single word, her face turned pale, and she turned and left!
coax!
When they saw Jia Zhangshi run away, everyone burst into laughter.
Even Jia Zhangshi had moments of fear!
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to say a few words, but seeing the broken bricks on the ground, just like Jia Zhangshi, he didn't say a word and turned to leave.
When Jia Zhangshi returned home, she began to curse loudly.
They called Wan Ping'an a little beast.
They called Yi Zhonghai a good-for-nothing who couldn't even handle Wan Ping'an.
Just as she was getting hoarse from yelling, Jia Dongxu returned.
Why do you smell of smoke?
"Hands out!"
Jia Zhangshi stared at Jia Dongxu.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Jia Dongxu was very unwilling.
Jia Zhangshi grabbed his hand, examined his fingers, and even smelled them.
Immediately afterwards, they began searching the body.
Half a pack of cigarettes was found during the search.
"You little brat, why don't you learn to be good?"
"Who gave you permission to smoke?"
Jia Zhangshi threw the half-pack of cigarettes on the ground and stomped on it twice.
The cigarettes were all crushed.
Jia Dongxu looked distressed.
"No, this isn't right!"
“I (chbh) took all your salary, where are you going to get the money to buy cigarettes?”
Jia Zhangshi stared at Jia Dongxu.
From the moment she arrived at the Jia family, she held the reins of the finances. Old Jia's salary and Jia Dongxu's salary had to be handed over to her in full.
Not a single penny may be kept from you!
"I, I, I had an extra three cents on this day last month, but I didn't hand it in."
Under repeated questioning, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to tell the truth.
"You little brat, you dare hide money from me?"
"I'm your mother, I raised you from infancy, and this is how you repay me?"
Jia Zhangshi immediately exploded.
Three cents is not much compared to Jia Dongxu's total salary.
But this isn't about the amount of money; it's about the nature of the matter—that Jia Dongxu had kept something from her.
She absolutely won't allow it!
If it shows any signs of trouble, it must be nipped in the bud!
"Mom, I didn't mean to."
“When I wasn’t working, I had food and drink at home and didn’t need any extra spending money.”
"But when I start working, I have many colleagues in the factory, and I need to socialize with them—have a smoke together, and give gifts for weddings and funerals..."
Jia Dongxu complained.
Humans are social animals, and social interaction is one of their essential attributes.
Social interaction is about give and take.
How can you manage without some pocket money?
"Bullshit, those are all excuses!"
Jia Zhangshi's voice was shrill and easily penetrated through the doors and windows.
Xu Damao had just delivered the pumpkins home when, thinking of the recent commotion, he happened to overhear Jia Zhangshi cursing Jia Dongxu as he passed by the Zhongyuan Courtyard.
“It’s exciting!”
Xu Damao's eyes lit up.
He quietly approached the Jia family's house and eavesdropped outside the door.
Liu Guangqi saw this and quietly went over as well; the two of them squeezed together outside the door to eavesdrop.
The courtyard was small, but there were quite a few people. Soon, others noticed it and gathered around. Before long, more than ten people had gathered.
"What kind of weddings and funerals require gift-giving?"
“I think you’re just wasting money. Your dad never gives gifts or extra money to anyone.”
Jia Zhangshi reprimanded Jia Dongxu.
"Mom, it's not that Dad doesn't want to give more money as a wedding gift to anyone, it's that you manage the money and you don't give any money at all. Where would Dad get the money to give wedding gifts to other families?"
Jia Dongxu stated a fact with a complaining tone.
"Haha, I know that. My dad told me about it."
Facing the crowd, Xu Damao began to explain in a low voice.
"After Jia Gensheng married Jia Zhangshi, Jia Zhangshi took over the economic power. No matter what the matter was, he couldn't take money out of the house."
"The year before last, Lao Jia had a high fever, but Jia Zhangshi refused to go to the hospital. What happened after that?"
“He developed pneumonia from the fever! Jia Zhangshi still couldn’t bear to spend the money. It was my father who took pity on old Jia and lent him five yuan so he could go to the hospital to buy medicine and see a doctor.”
"To this day, they still haven't returned the five yuan to our family."
Xu Damao made sarcastic remarks.
“I know, my dad felt sorry for Lao Jia and gave him two hard-boiled eggs. Lao Jia cried at that time.”
Liu Guangqi added.
Everyone nodded.
Everyone in the hospital knows that Yan Fugui is stingy, but he will still take out money for necessary expenses, such as medical treatment.
Jia Zhangshi was different.
The money for medical treatment is only for her own medical treatment.
otherwise.
Not a single penny!
"What?"
"Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi, why don't you two learn to be good?"
"Get out of here! You don't learn anything good, how are you going to learn how to eavesdrop?"
When Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Damao and others gathered at the Jia family's door, leaning to the side and craning their necks to listen, he guessed that it must be something bad.
He went over and chased everyone away.
dong dong dong.
Knock on the door.
"Master!"
Jia Dongxu opened the door, looking very downcast.
"Go in and talk!"
Yi Zhonghai entered the room.
"Jia Zhangshi, why are you scolding Dongxu again?"
"The whole hospital heard you swearing. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Yi Zhonghai stood up for Jia Dongxu.
He has been working hard to deepen his relationship with Jia Dongxu, and he will take him on as a disciple once their relationship reaches a certain point.
By the time.
They drove Jia Zhangshi away.
