The door was kicked down again, how could she not be angry?
"087, let me ask you, have you been catching mice all these days?"
"Did you catch more than a hundred rats?"
Why are you catching mice?
Liu Haizhong continued to question him.
"Are you in charge?"
Jia Zhangshi felt a little guilty.
Snapped!
Liu Haizhong did not indulge Jia Zhangshi.
In the past, he certainly wouldn't have been so reckless.
But last night, all his savings were gone, and his wife's gold bracelet was also gone. The loss was too great, and he was seething with anger.
fight.
The neighbors gathered around.
"Liu Haizhong, you dare hit me?"
Jia Zhangshi lay on the ground, her ears ringing and her vision filled with stars.
Liu Haizhong was a blacksmith, and his arms were incredibly strong. How could Jia Zhangshi possibly withstand such a slap?
"You kept rats in your yard, causing a rat infestation for all four of our families. We lost all our money. If I don't beat you up, who should I beat up?"
"Stand up! I haven't finished hitting you yet!"
Liu Haizhong said angrily.
"God, open your eyes! Strike this bastard surnamed Liu with lightning and kill him!"
“He bullied us, a widow and her child, and he tried to kill me.”
Jia Zhangshi sat up, slapping her thighs and the ground with both hands, kicking up dust and instantly covering her head and face in ash.
"Old Liu, are you telling the truth?"
"Did Jia Zhangshi bring live rats back to the courtyard house?"
He Daqing originally only intended to watch the excitement.
Upon hearing that Jia Zhangshi was raising rats, the smile on his face vanished. He took two steps forward and glared at Jia Zhangshi intently.
Everyone in the courtyard stared at Jia Zhangshi.
Everyone was poor, and food was very precious. No one ate until they were full; they carefully planned how much to eat at each meal so they wouldn't starve.
If there are rats, the food will be eaten, and we'll go hungry.
What if someone keeps rats in their yard and they escape and eat someone's grain?
This is a big deal!
"Jia Zhangshi, did you really bring live rats back to the courtyard?"
Xu Fugui asked Jia Zhangshi directly.
"Let me through. What happened?"
As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned to the compound, he saw a large crowd gathered in front of the Jia family's gate. His heart skipped a beat, realizing that something had happened to Jia Zhangshi.
"Uncle, you must stand up for us, the orphans and widows."
"Look at my face! It was that old bastard Liu Haizhong who slapped me! He's bullying me so much!"
I saw Yi Zhonghai.
Jia Zhangshi now had confidence.
"Second Uncle, what do you want to do?"
"You're the second eldest uncle in this courtyard house, how dare you hit someone?"
Yi Zhonghai directly criticized Liu Haizhong.
"Yi Zhonghai, what gives you the right to criticize my husband Lao Liu right off the bat?"
"Why don't you do anything about the rats that Jia Zhangshi keeps in her yard?"
The second aunt angrily confronted Yi Zhonghai.
"I know this."
“I have criticized Jia Zhangshi, and I have killed all the rats, so you don’t need to worry.”
"Second Uncle, as the second eldest uncle of this courtyard house, why did you hit someone without asking questions first?"
Yi Zhonghai can lie without even blushing.
"Yes, people always say we should have killed it long ago and thrown it away long ago."
"Liu Haizhong, you dare to hit me, you have to give me ten yuan, no, I want fifty yuan, otherwise I will go to the neighborhood office to report you."
Jia Zhangshi perked up.
Her secret stash of money was destroyed, leaving her penniless, and her desire for money reached its peak.
"Sir, you..."
Liu Haizhong was furious.
He's not stupid; of course he knows Yi Zhonghai is lying.
Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and glared angrily at Jia Zhangshi.
He originally intended to downplay the issue and let it go.
It's wrong of Jia Zhangshi to keep rats. If this gets out of hand and reaches the neighborhood committee, no one will be able to handle the situation.
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhangshi asked for fifty yuan right off the bat. Wasn't this forcing Liu Haizhong to make a big fuss?
last night.
Four families were affected by the rat infestation, including Liu Haizhong's family.
Four companies went bankrupt.
Liu Haizhong received an advance on a month's salary. A level 5 blacksmith earns 63 yuan a month, and he gave Jia Zhangshi 50 yuan. How will the Liu family survive?
"Jia Zhangshi, stop fooling around."
Yi Zhonghai warned Jia Zhangshi.
What nonsense have I been talking about?
"Liu Haizhong hit me, he slapped my face so hard it's swollen, isn't the compensation I asked for enough?"
Things related to money.
Jia Zhangshi would never back down.
Did Liu Haizhong hit you?
"Come on, tell me what happened?"
A voice rang out from outside the crowd.
The crowd made way.
Song, an official from the subdistrict office, stepped forward to the front of the crowd.
Wan Ping'an also walked in.
The two met outside the courtyard house, and Officer Song took the initiative to chat with Wan Ping'an about everyday things with a smile.
The two had just entered the hospital when they discovered the accident had occurred.
"Officer Song, you've come at the perfect time! You must stand up for us orphans and widows."
"Look at that bastard Liu Haizhong! He kicked down our door and slapped me. Look how swollen my face is!"
Jia Zhangshi has finally found a powerful backer.
Pointing to the door of the house.
He then pointed to his swollen face.
Yi Zhonghai felt a sense of foreboding; things had gone wrong, Jia Zhangshi had made a big fuss.
"Okay, I will definitely stand up for you."
"Liu Haizhong, as the second eldest uncle of this courtyard house, why did you hit someone?"
Officer Song frowned.
He looked at Jia Zhangshi's face; it was badly swollen.
Liu Haizhong was furious and hit him hard!
"Officer Song, last night, our compound was infested with rats. The Jia family, the deaf old lady's family, the Yi Zhonghai family, and our family were all affected."
