Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

When Jia Zhang heard that the second aunt dared to confront her, she was immediately furious.

Are you kidding? In Jia Zhang's eyes, Second Aunt is just a weakling. Now that weakling dares to talk back to her. If this matter gets out, who will respect her, Jia Zhang, in the future?
Her eyes were wide open and the muscles on her face were trembling slightly with anger.

"You dare to talk back? I'll teach you a lesson." Jia Zhang roared.

As she spoke, she raised her arm in anger and pushed Second Aunt fiercely. Second Aunt was caught off guard and staggered by the sudden push, almost falling to the ground.

"What are you doing?" After standing up, the second aunt looked at Jia Zhang in shock and anger.

Jia Zhangshi didn't think she was wrong at all, and continued angrily, "Who told you to speak for Liu Haizhong? He must give me an explanation today."

At this time, the surrounding neighbors saw this scene and gathered around.

Liu Haizhong was in the house when he heard Jia Zhang attacking the second aunt, and his anger was instantly ignited. He could no longer bear it and ran out in a hurry.

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened with anger, and he pointed at Jia Zhang and cursed: "Jia Zhang, you old bitch, how dare you push my wife. Do you still have any shame?"

His voice was like a loud bell, echoing in the yard. Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face turned red, and the veins on his forehead popped out. "You were caught stealing food, and you blamed us. Who do you think you are? Even the king has to pamper you?"

When Jia Zhang saw Liu Haizhong coming out, she showed no weakness. She puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and cursed back: "Liu Haizhong, you have no conscience. If you hadn't shown the way, how could they have found me? You should pay the fine."

"You're dreaming!" Liu Haizhong yelled, "You think you're right to steal? I'm telling you, don't even think about blaming me."

Jia Zhang knew she was wrong, but she was too arrogant to give up easily. When she couldn't refute Liu Haizhong, her face turned red and her eyes were full of angry flames.

Jia Zhang suddenly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her skinny arms, and rushed towards Liu Haizhong like an enraged beast. She waved her fists and cursed: "Liu Haizhong, you evil-minded thing, I will fight you today."

Although her fist was not very powerful, the momentum was very scary. Liu Haizhong didn't react for a moment and was almost hit by her. When he came to his senses, he quickly reached out to block it.

"Jia Zhang, are you crazy?" Liu Haizhong roared, "You dare to hit someone? I will punish you severely."

Jia Zhang rolled up her sleeves in anger, her face twisted with rage. Like a mad wild cat, she pounced at the bangs with her teeth and claws bared. Her bony arms waved in the air with a fierce force.

"Liu Haizhong, you are such a heartless person, I will never let you go today." Jia Zhang shouted while punching Liu Haizhong's chest. Although her fists were weak, each one was filled with her anger.

Liu Haizhong was not to be outdone, he reacted quickly, grabbed Jia Zhang's arm and threw it hard. "You old bitch, you dare to hit me." Liu Haizhong's eyes were wide open and his face was red.

Jia Zhang staggered, but she immediately regained her balance and rushed towards Liu Haizhong again. She scratched Liu Haizhong's face with her nails and kept cursing at him.

Liu Haizhong dodged Jia Zhang's attack while trying to fight back. He raised his foot and wanted to kick Jia Zhang, but he was afraid that if he really kicked her, it would cause more trouble. So he could only use his arms to resist Jia Zhang's scratching.

The two wrestled in the yard, pushing and shoving each other, neither giving in. Their clothes were torn and wrinkled, and their hair was messy. Jia Zhang's face was full of sweat and anger, and there were several bloody scratches on Liu Haizhong's face caused by Jia Zhang's nails.

At the beginning, when the residents saw Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong fighting, they all wanted to stop them quickly. After all, fighting in this yard was not a good thing. Everyone stepped forward and shouted, "Stop fighting, stop fighting." However, as the fight became more and more intense, the scene became a little "exciting". Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong were like two roosters fighting with red eyes, going back and forth, neither of them giving in. Although their actions were a little funny, they were full of gunpowder.

The residents gradually stopped trying to stop the incident and instead just watched the fun. Some pointed and talked about who was right and who was wrong; others looked gloating, as if they were watching a free farce. The atmosphere in the yard became very strange, with noise and laughter intertwined.

At this time, Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang had not come back yet, and was worried that she would cause trouble, so she hurried over. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong fighting. Qin Huairu was startled, her eyes widened instantly, and her face was full of astonishment.

"Mom, what's wrong? Stop hitting me." Qin Huairu rushed over and stopped Jia Zhang with all her strength. She hugged Jia Zhang's arm tightly and tried to pull her away. Jia Zhang was still angry and struggled to continue hitting Liu Haizhong.

"Huai Ru, let me go. I am going to beat Liu Haizhong to death today." Jia Zhang roared.

Qin Huairu pulled Jia Zhang hard and said, "Mom, stop hitting me. Let's talk it over nicely. If you continue like this, something bad will happen." Her voice was filled with anxiety and worry, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Qin Huairu's words were like a blow to the head, and Liu Haizhong calmed down instantly. His eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered that Jia Zhang was a criminal, and she dared to make trouble like this. If this situation was reported to the police station, Jia Zhang would definitely be in big trouble.

Liu Haizhong showed a smug look on his face. He straightened his back, pointed at Jia Zhang and said, "Well, Jia Zhang, you stole food and are still so arrogant. Just wait, I will report to the police station and see how long you can be so arrogant."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong made a move to walk out. When Jia Zhang heard this, she panicked. She knew that if the police came, she would be in trouble.

"You...you don't go." Jia Zhang's voice trembled a little, and the anger on her face was replaced by fear.

Qin Huairu was also anxious. She quickly grabbed Liu Haizhong and said, "Uncle Liu, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, just talk it over and don't make a big deal out of it."

Liu Haizhong refused to give in. He shook off Qin Huairu's hand and said, "Humph, are you scared now? It's too late. I must get the police to give her a good beating today."

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Haizhong's determination to report to the police station, and she became more and more anxious. She knew that once Jia Zhang was arrested, the family would not only face the pressure of fines, but also fall into an even more difficult situation.

"Mom, hurry up and apologize to Uncle Liu." Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhang anxiously. Her eyes were full of worry and pleading, hoping that Jia Zhang would give in and calm things down.

However, Jia Zhang stiffened her neck and looked reluctant. "Why should I apologize? I did nothing wrong." Jia Zhang said stubbornly, not realizing her situation at all.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi being so stubborn, Qin Huairu's anger surged up. She couldn't help scolding Jia Zhangshi: "Mom, don't be so stubborn. It's wrong for you to steal food, and now you're beating people. If you're caught, what will happen to our family? Can't you think about us?" Qin Huairu's voice trembled a little. She was angry and helpless. She knew Jia Zhangshi's temper, but at this critical moment, she couldn't let Jia Zhangshi do whatever she wanted.

"Hurry up and apologize, otherwise it will be too late." Qin Huairu urged again. She stared at Jia Zhang, hoping that she could listen to her.

Although Jia Zhang was very reluctant, she knew she had no other choice under Qin Huairu's pressure. She gritted her teeth and reluctantly muttered to Liu Haizhong: "I'm sorry." The voice was as small as a mosquito's hum, and the expression on her face was full of dissatisfaction.

When Liu Haizhong heard this apology, he immediately flew into a rage. "You call this an apology? There is no sincerity at all." Liu Haizhong pointed at Jia Zhang with his eyes wide open. His face was livid, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang's apology.

"I'm telling you, Jia Zhang, if you don't sincerely apologize today, I will definitely call the police. Let the people from the police station deal with you." Liu Haizhong was firm in his attitude and refused to give in.

When Jia Zhang heard that Liu Haizhong was going to call the police, she panicked again. She looked at Qin Huairu for help, hoping that she could speak up for her.

Qin Huairu looked at Liu Haizhong's relentless look and knew that Liu Haizhong's center was darker and it would be difficult to persuade him. After thinking about it, she decided that she could only ask Second Aunt for help.

Qin Huairu quickly walked to the second aunt and said sincerely: "Second aunt, please plead for us. My mother knows she was wrong, she was just confused for a moment. Please ask Uncle Liu not to bother with my mother for the sake of us being neighbors." There was a hint of pleading in Qin Huairu's voice and her eyes were full of expectation.

Second Aunt was soft-hearted to begin with, and seeing Qin Huairu like this, she felt a little sorry for her. She sighed and said, "Huairu, it's not that our Old Liu is unreasonable, it's just that your mother went too far."

Qin Huairu said quickly: "I know, my mother was wrong. But she has also learned her lesson. Please help us this time. We will definitely discipline her well in the future and will not let her cause trouble again."

Second Aunt looked at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance, and her pity became stronger. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Lao Liu. But I can't guarantee that he will listen to me."

Qin Huairu looked at the second aunt gratefully and said, "Thank you, second aunt. As long as you are willing to help, I will be very grateful."

Second Aunt walked up to Liu Haizhong and said softly, "Old Liu, forget it. Jia Zhang has apologized, so let's not bother with her. We are all neighbors, we see each other every day, it's not good to make things awkward."

Liu Haizhong frowned and said, "No, this old hag is going too far. I can't let her go so easily."

The second aunt persuaded, "Old Liu, let's be merciful. Let's not be too serious. Besides, it's not easy for Huairu either, let's just give her some face."

After much persuasion from the second aunt, Liu Haizhong finally gave in. "Okay, for your sake, I won't bother with Jia Zhang this time. But if she dares to cause trouble again, I won't let her off so easily."

Qin Huairu was overjoyed when she heard Liu Haizhong's words. She hurried over and thanked Liu Haizhong and Second Aunt again: "Thank you Uncle Liu, thank you Second Aunt. We will remember your kindness."

After all this trouble, the courtyard finally returned to peace. Although Jia Zhang was not convinced, she did not dare to say anything.

But Jia Zhang still had no money to pay the fine.

the next day.
Secretary Wang walked to Jia's house with a stern face and steady steps. He stood in the middle of the room, staring at Jia Zhang sternly.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, why haven't you paid the fine that the street office asked you to pay yet?" Officer Wang's voice was serious and powerful.

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face was immediately filled with sorrow. She rubbed her hands, her eyes full of panic.

"Leader, I really have no money. Please be kind and give me a few days. My family is really in difficulty and I can't come up with twenty yuan." Jia Zhang's voice was tearful, as if she had suffered great injustice.

Officer Wang frowned, unmoved. "No, the fine must be paid on time. The subdistrict office has already given you enough time, there is no more time."

Jia Zhang stamped her feet in anxiety and quickly came to Secretary Wang. "Leader, you don't know, our family lives very hard. I am an old woman, how can I have so much money? Please be flexible and give me a few days. I will definitely find a way to raise the money."

Officer Wang took a step back to avoid Jia Zhang. "Jia Zhang, stop making excuses. Stealing grain was wrong in the first place, and you should pay the fine now. If you don't pay on time, we will have to take further measures."

When Jia Zhang heard that further measures were to be taken, she became even more frightened. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled. "Leader, please don't. I will pay the money as soon as possible. Please give me a little more time. I promise, I will find a way."

Officer Wang was very angry when he saw Jia Zhang's cheating. "I'm telling you, Jia Zhang, you must pay the fine as soon as possible. There is no room for negotiation. If you still don't pay by then, we will send you to the police station."

Jia Zhang collapsed on the ground in despair, muttering to herself, "What should I do? I really have no money..." Secretary Wang shook his head helplessly, turned around and left the Jia family.

At this time, Sha Zhu suddenly pushed open the door and walked in, holding a piece of meat in his hand.

When she saw the meat, Jia Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.

She stopped Sha Zhu and asked, "Sha Zhu, are you sending this meat to my family?"

"Where is Sister Xiao Qin? This meat is for Sister Xiao Qin." When Sha Zhu saw Jia Zhang rushing over, he quickly hid the meat behind him.

Jia Zhang snorted coldly. If it were in the past, she would definitely give Sha Zhu a good beating.

But now that Shazhu has meat in his hands, things are different. (End of this chapter)
