Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1221 Jia Zhang's Blackmail

But Zhao Shuya is not an ordinary woman.

She had followed Wang Weidong for so long that she had better insight than the average woman and instantly realized Liu Haizhong's guilty conscience.

"Dad, I know you can't bear to part with Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian, but you have to know that according to their original crimes, they only need to be imprisoned for a few years. But if they run away now, their lives may be over."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face turned pale and blue, and he angrily accused her: "What are you talking about! You have another man, so you don't care about Guangqi!

You don't care whether he lives or dies, yet you come here and act like a big shot in front of me!"

Zhao Shuya was so angry at this sudden slander that she trembled all over and shouted, "Dad, how can you say that to me! Guangqi and I are husband and wife, how could I not care about him?

I came here today because I really want to find out the situation and see if I can help him. If you keep doing this, things will only get worse!"

Seeing the two quarreling, the second aunt stamped her feet anxiously and hurriedly advised: "Hey, stop quarreling, let's talk it out as a family.

Haizhong, don't be so angry. Shuya is also worried about Guangqi.

Shuya, your dad might be anxious and speak a little harshly, don't take it to heart."

However, Liu Haizhong was so angry that he didn't listen to Second Aunt's advice. His face turned red and he continued, "Don't be so hypocritical here. Guangqi's affairs are none of your business!

If you still have some regard for the relationship between husband and wife, don't make trouble here!"

After saying that, he stepped forward and pushed Zhao Shuya out of the door.

Zhao Shuya staggered and almost fell. After she stood up, her face turned pale, she walked to the door and laughed coldly twice.

From Liu Haizhong's overreaction, she was 100% sure that Liu Haizhong was behind this. Now she had only one thought in her mind, to report this to Wang Weidong as soon as possible.

Zhao Shuya walked to the central courtyard angrily. Just as she was about to quicken her pace and leave, Qin Huairu suddenly jumped out from the side and blocked her way.

Qin Huairu looked concerned but actually had a hidden agenda as she asked, "Shuya, why haven't I seen your Liu Guangqi recently?"

Zhao Shuya knew very well what kind of person Qin Huairu was. She knew that she had no good intentions and always pretended to be concerned.

In fact, he just wanted to find out some gossip and spread it around.

So, Zhao Shuya ignored her and just glared at her, then walked around her sideways and left in big strides.

Qin Huairu was disappointed. She stood there, watching Zhao Shuya leave with a trace of displeasure on her face. She muttered, "Hmph, what's the big deal? If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Who cares?"

Qin Huairu even spitted when she said this: "Isn't it just relying on Wang Weidong? What's so great about it? I was also a beautiful woman back then. Deputy Director Li liked me, but I didn't like him."

Qin Huairu turned around and went back home angrily. As soon as she entered the door, Jia Zhang stretched out her hand and said unhappily: "Qin Huairu, give me money. I want to buy painkillers. It hurts so much."

Qin Huairu got angry when she heard this and said unhappily, "Where can I get the money to give you? Ever since Dongxu died, the family has been relying on my salary, and Shazhu helps out from time to time.

Life is very tight. You spend 30 cents a day on painkillers. How can anyone afford such a thing? "

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became excited and yelled at the top of her voice, "Qin Huairu, you have been abusing an old woman like me since Dongxu left. How can you be a daughter-in-law like this?

I'm in so much pain, and you can just stand there and watch me do nothing?"

Qin Huairu also got angry and shouted back: "How did I abuse you? I work so hard every day and worry so much about this family, and you are so inconsiderate!"

The two of them were arguing back and forth. Just then, Sha Zhu rushed in from outside and shouted, "Stop arguing, stop arguing!

Let me tell you something, Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian escaped!"

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were stunned when they heard this, with disbelief written all over their faces. Qin Huairu frowned and said, "Silly Zhu, don't joke with me. This is not a trivial matter. Where did you hear this?"

Sha Zhu said seriously: "Can I still lie to you?

The news has spread like wildfire outside the compound, and the security department is looking for them everywhere."

Jia Zhang immediately realized that this was a bit strange. She glared and shouted, "That's not right. The Lanhua Automobile Factory is the largest factory in the country.

How could the security department's defense not be tight? How could Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi escape? There must be something fishy going on here!"

Qin Huairu also came back to her senses at this time and echoed: "That's right, I saw Liu Haizhong acting mysterious these few days, always sneaking out, and I don't know what he did."

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, she slapped her thigh and said confidently: "That must have been done by Liu Haizhong!

Humph, that's right! He only has those two precious sons, he definitely won't want them to be locked up."

Qin Huairu didn't want to get involved, so she quickly said, "This matter has nothing to do with our Jia family, so we shouldn't get involved.

I still have to go cook, the children are starving." As she said this, she walked towards the noodle bowl and prepared to scoop noodles for cooking.

But when she opened the noodle jar, she found it was empty, without even a grain of flour. Qin Huairu sighed helplessly.

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, and suddenly she had an idea. She leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "How about you go to Liu Haizhong's house and ask for some money?

They must have it at home, and this matter might really be related to him. Let him pay some money, so that our worries are not in vain."

Qin Huairu was embarrassed when she heard this: "This... this is not good, right? Why should they give us money?

Jia Zhang glared and said viciously, "He won't give me money? Humph, then let's go to the Lanhua Automobile Factory and report Liu Haizhong, saying that he escaped with his son. Let's see if he dares to be so arrogant!"

When Qin Huairu heard this, she turned pale with fear and waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, this is not allowed.

What if Liu Haizhong finds out that we reported him and comes looking for him? He has a bad temper and might get beaten up.”

Just kidding, Liu Haizhong hasn't caused any trouble in the compound recently.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she stamped her feet and cursed, "You useless thing!

You are always afraid of this and that, and have no ambition at all. It's just a fringe, what's there to be afraid of? If you don't go, I will!"

After saying this, Jia Zhang ignored Qin Huairu's attempt to stop her and walked towards Liu Haizhong's house.

When Jia Zhang came to Liu Haizhong's house, she didn't say anything and just pushed the door open and walked in.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was sitting in the room, still upset by Zhao Shuya's questioning just now.

Seeing Jia Zhang suddenly barge in, he frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

Jia Zhang was not afraid of the stage either. She sat down on the stool and started to cry poor: "Oh, Master Liu, you have to save our Jia family!

Since Dongxu passed away, we have been living a miserable life as an orphan and a widow. Today, there is not a single grain of rice left at home, and the children are crying from hunger. I have no other choice but to come to you."

As soon as Liu Haizhong heard her, he knew she had bad intentions, and said coldly, "Jia Zhang, stop pretending to be pitiful.

Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was not buying it, Jia Zhang simply broke off relations and threatened, "Master Liu, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore.

Did you do the running away of Liu Guangqi and Liu Guangtian? If you don't want to make a big deal, give our Jia family some money.

Otherwise, I will go to the security department of the Orchid Automobile Factory and tell everyone everything I know!"

Liu Haizhong's face turned livid in an instant, he stood up abruptly, pointed at Jia Zhang's nose and cursed, "You old hag, stop spitting bloody words at me!

Which eye of yours saw that I did it? If you dare to say anything, I will make you pay for it!"

Jia Zhang was not to be outdone. She stood up and stiffened her neck to respond loudly: "Hmph, don't think I don't dare! I have to report it today. Let's see what you can do to me!"

As she said this, she pretended to rush out the door.

The second aunt had been watching from the side. Seeing that things were not going well, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Jia Zhang and anxiously advised: "Hey, Jia Zhang, don't be impulsive!

If you have something to say, please talk it over nicely and don’t make things so awkward.”

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong was also a little nervous.

But he knew in his heart that if Jia Zhang really reported it, even if there was no evidence in the end, it would still bring him into a lot of trouble.

So, he suppressed his anger, changed his tone, and said, "Ms. Jia Zhang, I am not an unreasonable person.

I also sympathize with your Jia family's experience. But you can't wrongly accuse me for no reason."

After a pause, he continued, "I really want to help you, but I really don't have any money.

You know, I have a big family and the expenses are high."

Liu Haizhong did not lie. After all, he still owed Yi Zhonghai 250 yuan!

When Jia Zhang heard this, she refused to believe it. She rolled her eyes and snorted coldly, "No money? Stop pretending! How could your son be penniless after doing such a big thing?

If you don't give me the money today, I will go to the security department right away!"

Liu Haizhong was annoyed and anxious by Jia Zhang's aggressive attitude, but he was also worried that she would really report him.

I had to suppress my anger and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you! But I really can't pay you right now. Wait for two days and I promise to give you three dollars. Is that okay?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Three dollars? Are you giving money to a beggar? At least five dollars, not a penny less!"

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened and he raised his voice: "Five dollars? Isn't that too much? Where can I get so much money for you?"

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Huh, for what your son did, is five dollars a lot?

If you don't give it to me, I will go to the security department right now and make sure you don't get caught!"

The two were at an impasse, and the atmosphere was tense. Second Auntie was anxiously running around, trying to persuade Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi.

After a long stalemate, Liu Haizhong sighed helplessly, thinking that spending money would ward off disaster, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, it's my bad luck, four dollars, no more.

If you agree, then it's settled. If you don't agree, then it's up to you. I'm willing to give it my all!"

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, and she thought that four dollars was not a small amount of money. If the stalemate continued and Liu Haizhong changed his mind, she would not get a penny.

So, she pretended to be reluctant and said, "Okay, for the sake of Second Aunt, it's just four dollars. Don't forget, I'll come to pick it up in two days."

Liu Haizhong had a gloomy face and waved his hand impatiently: "I know, I know, just leave quickly and don't bother me here."

Jia Zhang snorted complacently, turned around and walked away with a swagger.

As soon as Jia Zhang left, Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face turned red, and he yelled at the door: "This old bitch is such a blackmailer! Why doesn't she just go and rob me?

You just want to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me. Do you really think I, Liu Haizhong, am easy to bully?"

He paced back and forth in the room, cursing as he walked, and was so excited that he could hardly control himself: "I am so unlucky to have met such a thing!

If she dares to push me again, I will never let her go! She even threatened me. Do you really think I'm afraid she'll report you? It's obvious that she's trying to make a fortune!"

The second auntie advised, "Don't get so angry that you'll get sick. Calm down. Calm down. Four dollars is four dollars. Just think of it as buying some peace and quiet. Don't bother with her."

Liu Haizhong was not going to listen and continued to curse: "She is so arrogant because she knows that I dare not do anything to her!

Humph, when this is over, I will definitely teach her a lesson and let her know how powerful I am in Liu Haizhong's shoes!"

Before he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai came in from outside with steady steps. He frowned slightly, looked at the angry Liu Haizhong, and asked: "Haizhong, who are you angry with? Why are you so angry?"

Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered it up: "No...no one, I just mumbled a few words to myself."

Yi Zhonghai did not ask any more questions, as he had another purpose in coming here. He slowly sat down on the chair, looked directly at Liu Haizhong, and said, "Haizhong, when can you give me the 250 yuan I paid you?

I'm short of money recently and I need the money urgently."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he felt like a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, and his brows were twisted into knots with worry. He had just dealt with Jia Zhangshi, and now another debt collector came. However, he really didn't dare to offend Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said helplessly: "You also know my current situation. Once Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi run away, I will give you the money immediately. Is that okay with you?"

Yi Zhonghai heard this, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he stared at Liu Haizhong, and said coldly: "Haizhong, I don't dare to believe what you said. You always say this, but you keep dragging your feet. I won't say any more words to you, I'll give you two days.

You must return the money to me in two days, otherwise this matter will be difficult to handle."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he groaned inwardly, but he didn't dare to refute. He could only grit his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay...Okay, Uncle Yi, two days is two days, I will definitely find a way to get it all for you."

Yi Zhonghai stood up, patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder, and said with concern: "Haizhong, I'm not forcing you, I just have no choice. It's not easy for everyone, please don't make it difficult for me."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai's departing back and slumped down in the chair.

"Where can I get these two hundred and fifty-four dollars?!"
