Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

Is this old woman out of her mind? People told her to call her Sister Yan, which means they're telling her that she's the one in charge here.

Don't go to the wrong temple and worship the wrong Buddha. She's really something, pretending to be stupid and getting Sister Yan to call her "Auntie".

Isn't this a slap in the face to Sister Yan?

Looking at the old woman in front of her who didn't know her place, Sister Yan knew that she had come over to greet her simply because she thought the old woman was from the capital.

He told her that he was in charge here and specifically mentioned that she was practically the head of the farm.

This was to tell Zhang Cuihua that this was her territory, and if she wanted to make a living, she had to show some respect when necessary.

Seeing Jia Zhangshi's attitude, she didn't bother to say anything more and turned to leave.

As everyone watched Sister Yan's departing figure, a hint of pity appeared in their eyes as they looked at Madam Jia, but even more so, anticipation.

They knew that this Jia Zhangshi was in for trouble!

Sure enough, no sooner had Sister Yan left than four women entered. They grabbed Jia Zhangshi's arm as soon as they reached her side.

Madam Jia looked at the group of people with ill intentions and said fiercely.

"What are you going to do?"

The four women had no intention of arguing with Jia Zhangshi, who had first called them animals and then offended their leader.

The four of them worked together to drag Jia Zhangshi to the water vat, and ignoring her struggles, they grabbed her hair and pressed her down.

"Press it down, pull it up, press it down, pull it up..."

This was repeated seven or eight times before they finally stopped, but by then Jia Zhangshi had collapsed and was unable to speak.

The fattest of the four stepped forward and pointed at Jia Zhangshi, who was lying on the ground like a dead pig.

"Let me tell you, food is hard-earned, and this is what will happen if you waste it!"

Leaving aside the matter of Banggeng and Jia Zhangshi for now, their happy life together was just beginning.

It's likely that six months of detention and one month of labor reform will put them through a lot of hardship.

Rewinding to noon, after Qin Huairu fainted, Sha Zhu, having received the news, rushed over.

He knelt on the ground, supporting Qin Huairu's head with his left hand and pinching her philtrum with his right.

After a while, Qin Huairu slowly opened her eyes. She glanced at the neighbors around her, and her gaze finally settled on an older woman.

"An older woman."

When the older woman heard Qin Huairu calling her, she quickly pushed through the crowd to get closer.

"There's an older woman here, Huai Ru. Are you feeling unwell?"

Qin Huairu took a breath and grabbed the old woman's hand.

"Are you home, ma'am or sir?"

“Please ask him to save my dog, Bang Geng. He promised me he would save Bang Geng.”

The older woman looked at Qin Huairu, who had just woken up, and understood the feeling of watching a loved one fall into misfortune and being powerless to help.

"Huai Ru, it's not that your uncle doesn't want to help you."

“Yesterday, your uncle went to the police station to look for Chief Wang, but he wasn’t there. He said he went to the countryside.”

"I was planning to ask again today, but they've already issued a detention warrant."

“Your uncle is just an ordinary worker now, he doesn’t have that much influence.”

"Besides, your uncle is probably in dire straits even now."

As she spoke, the older woman glanced at He Yuzhu, who was supporting Qin Huairu, and Cao Xu, who was chatting with the third uncle not far away.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu felt utterly devastated. She looked up at the sky and cursed angrily.

"Xu Damao, you ruined our Banggeng, you bastard!"

Qin Huairu's angry outburst startled the onlookers, who had always perceived her as a symbol of gentleness and kindness.

Qin Huairu, who rarely curses, is now cursing Xu Damao at the sky.

It is evident that her hatred for Xu Damao on August 823rd had reached an unbearable level.

"you……"

But before Qin Huairu could finish her curse, she fainted again.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin..."

When He Yuzhu saw that Qin Huairu had fainted again, he tried to pinch her philtrum, but this time it didn't work.

When Cao Xu saw Qin Huairu faint again, he said to He Yuzhu, who was anxiously waiting below.

"This is the second time she's fainted due to a sudden shock. Let's leave her at the hospital and take her to the hospital."

With her mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, arrested and her son, Banggeng, detained and reformed, half of the family fell apart in a single day. It's no wonder Qin Huairu was dizzy with worry.

People tend to sympathize with the weak, and sometimes they may even believe that the weak are always right.

No sooner had Qin Huairu been sent away than the atmosphere in the courtyard shifted dramatically, with more voices criticizing Xu Damao.

"That Xu Damao is a complete scoundrel. He ruined someone's family like this. He's a real villain."

"Do you even need to tell me he's a scoundrel? Everyone in this neighborhood knows him."

"Exactly, all they do is find ways to harm people; it's truly a lose-lose situation."

"What do you mean by harming others without benefiting oneself? I think he's harming others for his own benefit. It's just a chicken, isn't it?"

"He insisted on calling the police, and now look what happened, he's got both the grandfather and grandson in jail. He's finally gotten his revenge."

"Do you think Huairu will be alright? There are still two little ones in the family."

"Pah, pah, pah, don't talk nonsense. Qin Huairu can't be hurt. If something happens to her, that old man will make our whole hospital raise the child."

"Alright, enough already. You call yourself an old man? Didn't you hear Cao Xu say last night that he wanted to dismiss him?"

"Cao Xu is the only one..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly looked back and saw Cao Xuren still behind him, quickly slapping his own mouth lightly.

"Team Leader Cao, I had a bad temper. I didn't know you were still here."

Cao Xu looked at the woman in front of him and said calmly.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, are you implying that I can talk about this behind your back now that I'm not here?"

"Then, should I also go and talk to the director of Workshop Two about Brother Zhang's matter?"

Zhang's sister-in-law smiled bitterly.

"Team Leader Cao, please don't take offense at a housewife like me. I misspoke, and I apologize."

After speaking, Sister-in-law Zhang turned and left; she didn't want to provoke Cao Xu, that little devil.

Cao Xu shook his head and left; he didn't want to talk to these people with warped values ​​anymore.

Now that they see the Jia family grandfather and grandson in prison, they begin to criticize Xu Damao.

However, they automatically ignored the fact that the incident was caused by Banggeng stealing chickens and Jia Zhangshi coming to the door to cry and provoke.

When I saw Qin Huairu faint, my first thought was that something had happened to her, and I wondered if Xiao Danghua and her two children would be a burden to them.

Some even suggested that if anything happened to Qin Huairu, the two girls should be sent to the city's welfare home.

In the afternoon, the factory office reviewed a detailed report sent by Liu Haizhong, which stated that Yi Zhonghai had withheld child support payments that He Daqing had mailed to his children.

So the matter was handed over to Wang Youyu, the head of the personnel department, who frowned upon seeing it.

Just as Wang Youyu was about to send someone to call Guo Tong, the workshop director, Cao Xu walked in.

"Cao Xu, what brings you here?"

Cao Xu, quite unabashedly, pulled up a chair and sat down next to Wang Youyu's desk, smiling as he said...

"Uncle Wang, I can't be as busy as you."

"I'm here to see you now."

Wang Youyu pointed to the kettle on the table against the wall.

"Pour yourself some tea. I don't have time to entertain you right now."

After saying that, he called out towards the door.

"Xiao Yang, come here for a second."

Yang Weimin, who was sitting in the small house across the street, dared not delay when he heard Wang Youyu's call. He put down his pen and ran over.

Upon entering the room, he saw Cao Xu sitting casually at the director's desk, which surprised him, but he didn't say much.

"Director, you wanted to see me."

Wang Youyu said.
