Courtyard Houses: Starting with the principle of hard work paying off

Chapter 128 Burning Down the Jia Family Mansion, A Symphony of Slaps (8k)

Middle Court.

East wing.

Jia Zhangshi brought Qin Huairu over, and they joined Yi Zhonghai and his wife.

"This Li Hongbing is simply burning money. He gets so much money for providing clues and acting as a witness. He's going to lose a fortune."

Thinking of the bounty "mission" that Li Hongbing had just offered outside, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but feel envious and resentful.

She wanted to earn that money too.

However, given the current relationship between the two families, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't be so shameless as to actually run errands for Li Hongbing; she would definitely be laughed at by the people in the courtyard.

In this respect, she still has some "backbone".

The main problem is that I can't bear the embarrassment.

“Sister-in-law, it’s none of our business if he’s willing to squander money. Li Hongbing is on a winning streak right now. We shouldn’t fight him head-on.”

Fearing that Jia Zhangshi might get carried away and provoke Li Hongbing again, Yi Zhonghai quickly reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi felt depressed.

Everyone says that no one can have good luck forever, but Li Hongbing's luck seems to come one after another, as if it's inexhaustible. No wonder she's not happy about it.

Looking back at my own home.

Jia Dongxu was punished by the factory, which affected his reputation, so he could only find a rural wife like Qin Huairu in the end.

The only thing that brought comfort to Jia Zhangshi was...

Fortunately, Qin Huairu's belly was quite cooperative; she became pregnant in the first year after they married.

Next.

She hoped that Qin Huairu could give birth to a healthy, chubby boy to carry on the Jia family line and continue its lineage.

However, in response to Yi Zhonghai's reminder, Jia Zhangshi defended herself and clarified her position, saying, "Dongxu's master, I did not provoke Li Hongbing today. I just wanted to seek justice for my family and did not want to let that kid Xu Damao go."

The mention of this made Jia Zhangshi feel depressed.

Yi Zhonghai, feeling helpless, couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, this matter was settled back then. No matter how uncomfortable you feel, it's all in the past. Please don't bring it up again."

Since a reconciliation has been reached, it means that past grievances have been settled and there is no rule against bringing up old grievances again.

Otherwise.

Don't try to reconcile in the first place.

Jia Zhangshi's actions just now clearly violated a taboo.

If the deaf old woman hadn't intervened in time, things would have been very difficult to resolve.

Not only would it reignite his feud with Xu Fugui, but it would also draw criticism from the people in the courtyard.

Even if Xu Damao isn't much better off, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation.

"Here……"

Jia Zhangshi was embarrassed.

After calming down, Jia Zhangshi realized that she had acted impulsively.

She still remembers what happened with Xu Damao back then!
Especially back then, Tao Cuilan even chased after them to their doorstep and cursed them for a long time.

Today, Xu Damao is being cheeky again, and Jia Zhangshi sees an opportunity and finds it hard not to get carried away.

“Sister-in-law, I know you’re angry, but you shouldn’t have gotten involved in this. Think about it, who has Xu Damao offended this time? Do you think the Xu family and Xu Damao will come out unscathed?”

Yi Zhonghai didn't say it too bluntly, but Jia Zhangshi quickly realized what he meant and immediately said excitedly, "That's right, let them fight like dogs, we can just watch the show from the sidelines!"

It was only after being reminded by Yi Zhonghai that Jia Zhangshi belatedly realized what was happening.

Actually, she doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to sit back and watch the two tigers fight. No matter who wins in the end, someone will suffer. This is the result she wants to see.

Moreover, after this incident, Li Hongbing will inevitably become enemies with the Xu family.

Despite Li Hongbing's kind words, he was ruthless in his actions, directly throwing money around to get people to help him find clues, determined to crush Xu Damao completely.

Once this is confirmed, Xu Damao will have no choice but to apologize, and his reputation will be completely ruined.

The key point is that Xu Fugui not only couldn't find fault with him, but also had to thank him for showing leniency and letting Xu Damao go without pursuing the matter further.

An apology was merely an excuse and a tactic used by Li Hongbing.

What he really wanted was to ruin the Xu family and Xu Damao's reputation.

Li Hongbing is a ruthless guy.

Jia Zhangshi deeply understands this point.

……

Time passed little by little.

Li Hongbing didn't get the clues and evidence he wanted, but instead saw Yan Jiecheng bring Guo Youzhong and the others over.

Not only Guo Youzhong, but also his fellow students Liang Damin and Sun Xinming, were present, even more so than when Li Hongmei got married last time.

This situation undoubtedly left Li Hongbing completely bewildered.

He only sent Yan Jiecheng to deliver a message, but how did he do it?
"Master, why are you here?"

Upon discovering Guo Youzhong and his group's arrival, Li Hongbing quickly got up and welcomed them into the house.

Hearing Li Hongbing's words and seeing his surprised expression, Guo Youzhong said irritably, "With such a big thing happening, how could I not come?"

Yan Jiecheng went to report the news. If he hadn't been concerned and asked a few more questions, he wouldn't have known that something terrible had happened to his apprentice's family.

At this time.

Liang Damin and his fellow students also chimed in.

“Hongbing, you’re really something. Such a big thing happened and you didn’t even tell us senior brothers. Do you treat us like outsiders?”

"Junior brother, now that we've entered Master's sect, we're family. Don't be so formal with yourselves."

"Exactly. If word gets out, people will think that we, the fellow disciples, are all gone."

"We are all one family. Even if we don't have to go through fire and water together, we should at least help each other. I don't even want to scold you, Master!"

"If you do this again, don't call me 'senior brother' anymore..."

"..."

Hearing his senior brothers' words of reproach, yet with undisguised concern, Li Hongbing felt a warmth in his heart.

Think about it too.

Under the guidance and influence of their master Guo Youzhong, Liang Damin and his fellow disciples, including Sun Xinming, were very united.

This noon, the apprentices and their master Guo Youzhong's family had arranged to have a reunion dinner together, but Li Hongbing suddenly sent someone to tell them that something had happened at home and they couldn't come. It's hard not to wonder what was going on.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, what could be more important than this important reunion dinner for the sect?

Moreover, Guo Youzhong knows his apprentice well; unless there's an unavoidable reason, he wouldn't suddenly be absent.

When asked, everyone, from the master to the apprentice, was furious.

During the Lunar New Year, how could they not be angry when their apprentices or junior disciples were bullied and tricked by people in the courtyard?

This isn't just bullying Li Hongbing; it's bullying them because their sect has no one to rely on and their fellow disciples are incompetent!

After such a thing happened, how could Guo Youzhong and Liang Damin possibly be in the mood for a family reunion dinner?

Immediately.

Along with Guo Youzhong, everyone in their sect was mobilized.

He pedaled his bicycle as fast as he could, rushing over without stopping, just to support Li Hongbing and help him get his revenge.

"Master, fellow disciples, it's nothing serious."

Knowing that his master and fellow disciples cared about him, Li Hongbing was grateful, but he had to explain, "The reason I didn't tell you is that I can handle this myself, and besides, it's such a joyous occasion during the New Year, and I didn't want my own problems to spoil your good mood."

"Nonsense! You don't treat us like your senior brothers. You've gotten into this mess, it would be a laughing stock if we didn't come."

The third senior brother, Zheng Liguo, who had a rather volatile temper, immediately confronted Li Hongbing, clearly dissatisfied with his actions.

"Third senior brother, I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongbing didn't argue and immediately admitted his mistake.

Although Zheng Liguo's tone was harsh, it was entirely out of concern, and Li Hongbing couldn't very well confuse the good with the bad.

"Alright, establish a nation!"

Guo Youzhong glanced at Zhao Liguo and criticized him, "What nonsense are you spouting during the New Year? You're making that girl laugh at you."

Upon hearing Guo Youzhong's words, Zheng Liguo immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and everyone began to notice Chen Xueru inside the room.

Seeing this, Li Hongbing quickly introduced Chen Xueru to them: "Master, fellow disciples, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Chen Xueru, the manager of Chen's Cloth Shop on Qianmen Street."

At first, everything was fine, but when everyone heard Li Hongbing reveal Chen Xueru's other identity, they were all somewhat surprised.

It's not surprising that their junior brother, who is good-looking, found a beautiful and elegant woman like Chen Xueru as his partner.

However, it's truly rare to find someone with such good qualities as Chen Xueru.

"Hello, Master Guo!"

As Li Hongbing formally introduced Guo Youzhong and the others to Chen Xueru, Chen Xueru greeted them one by one.

Among Liang Damin's senior classmates, there were some that Li Hongbing was meeting for the first time. After all, not all of them had come to Li Hongmei's wedding last time, and today they were all truly gathered together.

Guo Youzhong and Liang Damin came here to help and support Li Hongbing, but after learning about the situation from Li Hongbing, they found that they couldn't really help much at the moment.

Xu Damao has not returned yet, and the matter has not been fully clarified. We'll have to wait and see how things develop.

Regarding Jia Dongxu's misuse of Xu Damao's name, Li Hongbing and Chen Xueru are currently in a state of "unawareness," so they cannot speak out.

"Master, you and your fellow disciples rest here. I'll go out and buy some groceries. You can have lunch here with me."

Guo Youzhong and his group definitely wouldn't leave until today's matter was resolved. It was almost noon, so Li Hongbing decided to go to the market to buy some ingredients to cook.

There were nearly twenty people in total, including myself and Chen Xueru, along with my fellow students Guo Youzhong and Liang Damin. We definitely had enough food at home, but we certainly hadn't prepared that many ingredients.

Although Li Hongbing has plenty of ingredients in his system space, it's not appropriate to take them out directly right now.

"Don't go. Let Damin and Xinming handle this."

Seeing that Li Hongbing was about to go out, Guo Youzhong stopped him and handed over the task of going out to buy ingredients to Liang Damin and the others.

The matter in the courtyard is still unresolved.

Li Hongbing, as the person involved, must be present; everything else is secondary.

"Hey, your stove is pretty good."

With nothing else to do, and knowing that Li Hongbing had previously converted a room into a kitchen, Guo Youzhong brought his apprentices over for a visit.

With this professional-grade stove, plus the original furnace, cooking will be easier for so many of them.

Followed by.

Guo Youzhong then directed his apprentices, "Don't just sit around, get busy and cook whatever you can. Once you've eaten your fill, we can help your junior brother get justice."

This group of people didn't come to take advantage of Li Hongbing. Guo Youzhong had already prepared the ingredients at home and started cooking in advance, but after learning about Li Hongbing's situation, he made a special trip over.

In Guo Youzhong's view, as his senior, Li Hongbing should at least treat them to a meal, regardless of whether he was of any help or how much help he provided.

As a senior student, I shouldn't make too many demands or complain about anything, good or bad.

Only when the sect is united can it be less likely to be bullied by outsiders.

Li Hongbing also knew these things.

If it weren't for the fact that we were fellow disciples, we wouldn't have been able to invite Liang Damin and the others even if we spent money to do so, let alone just one meal.

……

the other side.

When Jia Zhangshi learned that Yan Jiecheng had gone to deliver a message and actually summoned Li Hongbing's master and a whole bunch of his fellow disciples, she was utterly shocked.

"What is Li Hongbing trying to do? Why is he making such a big fuss? Who is he trying to scare to death?"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's complaints, Yi Zhonghai's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Although this matter has nothing to do with them, the actions of Guo Youzhong and Liang Damin have served as a wake-up call for Yi Zhonghai.

We must never go against Li Hongbing again.

Li Hongbing alone was already enough of a headache for them.

Now that Li Hongbing has so many people backing him up, how desperate must someone be to go against him?
In fact, Yi Zhonghai had already become wary when Liang Damin and other senior classmates of Li Hongbing came to Jia Dongxu's wedding last time, which is why he had been so well-behaved in the past period of time.

The problem now.

The issue isn't that they can't find fault with Li Hongbing, but rather whether Li Hongbing chooses to deal with them.

As for his proud identity as a senior fitter at the steel rolling mill.

Let alone in front of a renowned master like Guo Youzhong, even in front of their senior brother Liang Damin, they probably wouldn't be enough.

After what happened last time, Yi Zhonghai naturally went to find out more about it and learned that Li Hongbing's senior brothers were not simple people at all.

They're all not to be trifled with!

The saying "fortune's wheel turns" is something only Yi Zhonghai uses to fool himself and, incidentally, to comfort Jia Dongxu.

Seeing that Li Hongbing had so many fellow apprentices, and that they were all so united, Yi Zhonghai's heart was completely shaken, and he had the idea of ​​giving up on continuing to oppose and antagonize Li Hongbing.

Not only Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai, but especially Xu Fugui and his wife, who are currently at the center of the incident, were stunned when they learned that Li Hongbing's master and fellow disciples had all come over.

This time.

If Xu Damao really did this, then we should be grateful if an apology can make it all go away.

As for their original plan to stubbornly refuse to admit it, they had long since forgotten about it.

Not long after.

Before Liang Damin and the others could return with the groceries, Aunt Yang from the courtyard excitedly led someone back from outside. As she ran, she shouted, "Hongbing, I found him! I found him!"

As soon as I entered the front yard.

When Aunt Yang saw several unfamiliar people in the yard, she was immediately startled and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

“Aunt Yang, these are all my senior brothers who came to see me.”

At this time.

Li Hongbing came out of the house.

"Oh, it's your senior brother! I thought it was someone else!"

Upon hearing Li Hongbing's explanation, Aunt Yang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought it was some unrelated outsider who had come to cause trouble in the courtyard!
"Aunt Yang, you said you found the person?"

As Li Hongbing spoke, he had already turned his gaze to the middle-aged woman who had come in from outside with Aunt Yang.

"That's right!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yang nodded emphatically and introduced to Li Hongbing, "This is Old Ge's wife from the next courtyard. She said she saw someone from our courtyard outside this morning, talking to your boyfriend... that is, Manager Chen..."

"Aunt Ge, what was said at the time? Did you hear everything? Or what did you hear?"

Li Hongbing looked at Old Ge's wife in the next courtyard and asked her a question.

"I was a bit far away at the time, and I was just passing by, so I didn't listen carefully."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Ge shook her head.

Seeing this, Aunt Yang quickly helped explain, "Aunt Ge didn't hear what was said, but she saw Xu Damao and Manager Chen talking outside. This at least proves that no matter what they said, Xu Damao did secretly talk to Manager Chen. Manager Chen didn't lie about this."

Since it concerned her reward, Aunt Yang couldn't let this sure thing slip away.

Upon hearing this, Li Hongbing frowned deeply, suspecting that Aunt Yang was trying to scam him.

Where did this Xu Damao come from? It's clearly Jia Dongxu.

Just then, Aunt Ge frowned and retorted, "When did I say it was Xu Damao? I saw Jia Dongxu, Jia Dongxu from your courtyard... That's right, he was with this girl in the cheongsam!"

As she spoke, Aunt Ge pointed to Chen Xueru standing next to Li Hongbing.

Right!
I thought they were in cahoots with Aunt Yang to scam money, but it turns out they were actually eyewitnesses.

Although I didn't hear what was said at the time, just recognizing Jia Dongxu was enough.

"What? Jia Dongxu? This..."

Grandma Yang was stunned.

If this has nothing to do with Xu Damao, then what about her reward money?
Faced with Aunt Yang's reaction, Old Ge's wife was also a little confused and immediately asked in confusion, "Old Yang's wife, you just said people from your courtyard. Doesn't Jia Dongxu count as someone from your courtyard?"

"This……"

Unaware of the truth of the matter, Aunt Yang was convinced that Xu Damao was responsible after Li Hongbing and Chen Xueru went to "settle accounts" with Xu Fugui. She had no idea that someone else was behind it, so she was completely bewildered.

Fortunately, Li Hongbing, who already knew the truth, directly "questioned" Chen Xueru: "Xueru, when you were outside, besides Xu Damao, were there any other people who talked to you?"

"No, there's only Xu Damao, but I don't know him. I only know that he told me his name was Xu Damao and that he was from this courtyard."

Chen Xueru immediately agreed.

"Aunt Ge, are you sure the person you saw back then was Jia Dongxu? Did you see him clearly?"

To ensure everything went smoothly, Li Hongbing confirmed with Aunt Ge again.

"I saw it clearly because the person opposite me was this beautiful girl. I couldn't help but look at it a couple more times. I'm sure I didn't see it wrong."

Aunt Ge solemnly assured him.

"Aunt Ge, please don't leave yet. I'll need your help later."

After leaving Aunt Ge behind, Li Hongbing said to Aunt Yang, "Aunt Yang, could you please go to the backyard and ask Uncle if he has a photo of Xu Damao? If so, please ask him to bring it over immediately."

"Hongbing, what are you doing?"

Grandma Yang was still a little confused and puzzled by Li Hongbing's mysterious actions.

"Aunt Yang, you don't need to worry about this."

Li Hongbing was too lazy to explain to the other party, so he said directly, "The clues brought back by Aunt Ge that you found are very useful. After I verify them, I will give you the reward money together."

"Really?"

Originally, she thought the reward was hopeless, but when she heard Li Hongbing say that, Aunt Yang was immediately overjoyed as if she had found something she had lost.

soon.

Driven by the surprise of the thank-you fee, she couldn't wait to run to the backyard.

"Hongbing, is there something else fishy going on here?"

Guo Youzhong, who came out of the house at this moment, obviously thought of something after seeing Li Hongbing's actions.

As the master, Guo Youzhong not only has superb culinary skills, but also has more life experience than Li Hongbing. Therefore, based on what he knew before, he obviously guessed some of the truth.

"Master, let's verify it later to find out who's behind this, and then everything will be clear."

Li Hongbing wasn't in a hurry to reveal spoilers, but instead waited to work with Chen Xueru to uncover the truth and give the Xu and Jia families a big surprise.

If Xu Damao were here, Chen Xueru could have identified him on the spot, without all this trouble.

I just don't know where Xu Damao ran off to; he hasn't come back yet.

Fortunately, the reward he offered earlier happened to work, allowing Aunt Yang to find Aunt Ge, the eyewitness.

Otherwise, this matter might have dragged on for who knows how long.

"Hongbing, have you found a clue?"

"We found a bit."

Who found it?

"Aunt Yang".

"Ugh!"

"..."

After hearing that someone had found clues and witnesses, some of the neighbors who had gone out to look for the "reward" returned one after another. When they heard that it was Aunt Yang who found the people, they were immediately envious and depressed.

I envy others' good luck, but I'm frustrated that I'm no longer involved in the bounty.

Why didn't they discover it?

soon.

Xu Fugui and his wife hurriedly ran over from the backyard, and even Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi came over to join in the fun.

Apart from the deaf old lady, everyone in the courtyard has gathered here.

"Hongbing, what do you need Da Mao's photo for?"

Xu Fugui looked at Guo Youzhong, Zheng Liguo, and the others behind Li Hongbing, his eyes revealing deep apprehension, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle, this is Aunt Ge."

“When that person from the courtyard secretly approached Xue Ru before, she happened to see him.”

"Aunt Ge said that the person who was talking to Xue Ru at the time was not Xu Damao, but Jia Dongxu..."

"I suspect there's more to this than meets the eye, and it might not be what we initially thought."

"However, since Xue Ru doesn't recognize any of them, I asked you to bring the photos over so that Xue Ru can identify them..."

……

When Li Hongbing discovered that Jia Zhangshi had also followed, he almost couldn't help but laugh.

however.

Everyone present was stunned by Li Hongbing's words.

"what?"

Xu Fugui was completely stunned and looked at Li Hongbing in disbelief.

Even he himself was convinced that Xu Damao was the bastard who did it, but Li Hongbing told him that it was someone else.
"Li Hongbing, you're talking nonsense!"

"What does this have to do with our Dongxu?"

"Don't make false accusations!"

"Everyone knows you have a grudge against our family. This is clearly a deliberate attempt to smear us!"

"Li Hongbing, you're framing me!"

"You're framing me!"

"..."

Madam Jia became anxious.

I came here to watch the drama unfold, hoping to see Li Hongbing and Xu Fugui fight, but instead, this drama has landed right on my head.

Completely unaware of what Jia Dongxu had done, Jia Zhangshi naturally believed that Li Hongbing was talking nonsense and framing her. She was furious and wanted nothing more than to confront Li Hongbing.

"Sister-in-law, calm down!"

As Wang Guihua pulled Jia Zhangshi back, Yi Zhonghai gave a reminder and then looked at Li Hongbing with a gloomy expression, warning him: "Li Hongbing, you should have a conscience. Although we had a grudge before, you can't just falsely accuse someone for revenge."

Li Hongbing is now very powerful. Although Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to provoke him, especially with his master and fellow disciples present, he has no choice but to speak out.

Unable to win, and unwilling to fight Li Hongbing anymore, Yi Zhonghai couldn't let him bully him either.

"Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, this matter hasn't been settled yet, why are you in such a hurry? Are you feeling guilty?"

Li Hongbing wasn't surprised at all by Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi's reaction.

They may genuinely be unaware of the situation.

Jia Dongxu did it secretly. Even though Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi were his closest people, Jia Dongxu had no reason to show off this secret to them.

Although the two families are at odds, if Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Dongxu had done such a thing, even if he didn't expose him, he would still criticize him.

He didn't think it was immoral to do it, but if Li Hongbing found out, he would not only offend him again, but also face even fiercer retaliation.

Jia Dongxu is playing with fire!

He's just creating trouble for himself.

The key point is that this thing harms others without benefiting oneself!
If Li Hongbing gets hold of something against him, Jia Dongxu will be completely finished.

Anyway, since the reputation has already been damaged, let's just forget about it.

From now on, you can forget about holding your head high in the courtyard house.

Ignoring Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi, Li Hongbing went directly to Xu Fugui and said, "Uncle, did you bring a photo of your Xu Damao? Please show it to Xueru so she can identify him. If that person wasn't Xu Damao, I want to sincerely apologize to you for what happened before!"

"Cuilan, the photo!"

Reminded by Li Hongbing, Xu Fugui also realized what was going on.

If what Li Hongbing said is true, then whether or not Li Hongbing apologizes is no longer important; what matters is that he wants to destroy the Jia family.

What hatred, what resentment?
Jia Dongxu did bad things himself and then framed Da Mao's family, deliberately trying to make them enemies with Li Hongbing. How vicious is that!

“Hongbing, that’s not the person.”

After receiving the family photo they had taken at the photo studio last year from Tao Cuilan, Chen Xueru looked at it for a moment and then shook her head.

"Did you see clearly?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hongbing couldn't help but chime in.

"Look closely, the person who spoke ill of you to me is definitely not the one in the photo."

Chen Xueru said this with great certainty, and then handed the photo to Tao Cuilan.

As soon as Chen Xueru said this, both Xu Fugui and Tao Cuilan were shocked. Then they turned their resentful gazes to Jia Zhangshi.

Tao Cuilan didn't reach for her family photo; instead, she turned around and charged directly at Jia Zhangshi, who was standing to the side.

"Jia Zhangshi, I'll fuck your grandma!"

With a loud shout, Tao Cuilan rushed directly in front of Jia Zhangshi, and the two quickly began to fight.

"Tao Cuilan, have you gone mad?"

"I'm crazy? I think you're the ones who're crazy!"

"You're really out of your mind! You're trying to pin this huge blame on our Da Mao! Your Jia Dongxu is really something!"

"Nonsense, what does this have to do with my Dongxu?"

"It's all Li Hongbing framing you. How can you believe everything he says? If he told you to eat shit, why didn't you go?"

"You still dare to use foul language? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Damn, you're serious? I'll fight you to the death..."

"..."

Women's common fighting moves are nothing more than these few.

Hair grabbing, nail scratching, clothes tearing, foot stomping, slapping...

Although there was nothing particularly novel about it, seeing that Jia Zhangshi and Tao Cuilan used almost everything except slapping was still quite entertaining.

As a senior projectionist at the steel rolling mill, Xu Fugui earned a decent salary. In addition, Tao Cuilan, who was originally a servant in the Lou family, had benefited greatly in recent years. The Xu family was doing well and naturally had plenty of extra income.

Under these circumstances, although Tao Cuilan did not look as fat as Jia Zhangshi, she was quite strong. With the added bonus of hatred, she quickly gained the upper hand in this battle between women.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Tao Cuilan flipped over and straddled Jia Zhangshi, slapping her repeatedly across the face.

clap clap clap...

The crisp, loud sound of a slap echoed through the front yard.
