Siheyuan: Hang Jia Dongxu, smash Banggeng to death!

Just as Officer Wang ordered someone to call Qin Huairu, who had hidden in the west wing, out, the sounds of beating and cursing came from inside the Jia family's house:

"Qin Huairu, you shameless slut! What has my son ever done to wrong you? How could you get involved with that old, childless Yi Zhonghai? I'll beat you to death..."

A crisp slap rang out, followed by Qin Huairu's short, painful scream.

"Mom! I didn't!"

Qin Huairu's voice was choked with sobs, "I was forced, Yi Zhonghai forced me, he said... he said if I didn't comply..."

"I'm not transferring Dongxu's job to the Jia family; I'm doing this for the sake of this family, for Banggeng."

"fart!"

Jia Zhangshi's voice suddenly rose a notch, "That's my Jia family's job quota, why shouldn't that dead-end family give it to him?"

What right does he have to hold my son back from his job?

I'm going to sue him. I'm going to the police station to file a complaint against him. I'm going to make him regret it. I'm going to make him get shot.

Let me tell you, Qin Huairu, don't think you can fool me by putting on this pitiful act.

My son just died, and you haven't even had a day left, and you're already getting involved with Yi Zhonghai.

Do you have any conscience at all?

How could you do this to Dongxu?

Qin Huairu's sobbing voice carried a hint of determination: "Mom, it's no use arguing with me. You have to talk to the leaders of the steel mill."

You exposed Dongxu's theft of public assets to sell, so you're going to lose your job.

I did it all for this family, for Bang Geng.

Do you think I wanted this?

I am now a widow with two children. What can I do?

Mom, if you think I did something wrong, then go ahead and sue me.

"Sue me, sue Yi Zhonghai, sue the steel mill, and we'll see who suffers then."

quiet!

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Snapped!"

Jia Zhangshi, feeling helpless, slapped him and said, "Even if you're right, you can't do anything to betray my son."

"Dongxu just left, and you've already gotten involved with Yi Zhonghai. What will the neighbors think of the Jia family? How is Banggeng supposed to face them after this?"

Qin Huairu did not reply; only suppressed sobs could be heard.

The group stood in the center of the courtyard, looking at each other, none of them daring to speak first.

Officer Wang frowned and looked at the young officer next to him, saying, "Go, call Qin Huairu out and have her come back to the station with us."

The young police officer had just knocked on the door when the door to the west wing opened.

Qin Huairu came out, with several red marks on her cheeks, which were particularly noticeable under the light.

Jia Zhangshi followed behind, still clutching a shoe sole she hadn't had time to put down.

That's right, she hit him with the sole of her shoe.

Using your hands is too hard on them.

Officer Wang stepped forward and said, "Comrade Qin Huairu, come back to the station with us first and explain things clearly."

Also, Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the party involved, and Comrade He Yuzhu, the victim of a great injustice, should come together.

"Snapped!"

Another shoe sole flew and hit Qin Huairu's face.

Jia Zhangshi rushed out crying, saying, "Officers, you must do justice for my son! He died unjustly, and as soon as he died, his wife got together with Yi Zhonghai."

I suspect my son was killed by Yi Zhonghai. You must investigate this thoroughly and give yourselves justice.

Searching for enemies in the void.

Well done.

Lin Tian gloated as he ate the melon seeds in the crowd.

Officer Wang comforted her, saying, "Comrade Zhang Cuihua, please calm down. Let's talk about this at the police station. Don't fight here."

His gaze lingered on Jia Zhangshi's hand, which was still clutching the sole of a shoe. "If you continue like this, I'll have no choice but to take you back as well on charges of obstructing official business. Also, we'll investigate what you've provided."

Jia Zhangshi's hand, which was about to strike again, paused in mid-air.

"Alright, take the prisoner away."

Officer Wang said in a deep voice, and left with Qin Huairu. As for Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, they had already been taken away.

Unable to vent her anger, Jia Zhangshi turned her anger towards an older woman named Wang Cuilan.

To everyone's astonishment, Jia Zhangshi's obese body sprang up and rushed forward, her hand gripping the sole of her shoe drawing a short, precise arc in the air.

"Snapped!"

The sole of the shoe landed on Wang Cuilan's face.

Wang Cuilan staggered from the blow, almost falling to the ground. She covered half of her face and looked up at Jia Zhangshi.

Her eyes still held shock and confusion: "Jia Zhangshi, you're insane! Why did you hit me?"

Madam Jia said angrily, "Why did I hit you? Don't you know why? Your dog of a man stole my daughter-in-law."

Do you think you should have been hit?

You can't even control your own man, how dare you stand here?

Why don't you just die?

You old hen that can't lay eggs, if you weren't incapable of laying eggs, would Yi Juehu have done something like this?

"If you were capable of having children, would he be eyeing my daughter-in-law?"

A look of disdain and pleasure appeared on Jia Zhangshi's face. "Tell me, don't you think you deserve to be hit?"

Wang Cuilan lowered her hand from her face, revealing a reddening palm print. She was also seething with anger.

After working diligently for over a decade, he never expected that Yi Zhonghai would betray him in the end.

Although I know it's my fault that I can't have children, I've already said that I can adopt a child to take care of me when I'm old.

But Yi Zhonghai disagreed.

What did she do wrong?

She herself is a victim, so why should you, Jia Zhangshi, hit me?

If your daughter-in-law hadn't been unable to control herself, would she have been having an affair?

Wang Cuilan was furious.

"Jia Zhangshi, you can scold me, you can say I can't lay eggs, I accept that. But what your husband and my husband did is their business."

You hit me in front of so many people, don't you have any sense of law?

"The law?"

Madam Jia roared, "You're talking to me about the law? What about when your husband stole my daughter-in-law? Why didn't he listen to the law then?"

When your husband called my daughter-in-law to the cellar in the middle of the night, why didn't he abide by the law?

Now you're talking to me about the law?

You two, one a lecherous old man, the other unable to control her man, you're both no good.

Xu Damao had somehow returned, and with a slight squint, he teased, "Oh, this is getting lively, Aunt Zhang. You really hit hard, you didn't hold back at all."

He clicked his tongue, his gaze shifting back and forth between Wang Cuilan and Jia Zhangshi. "But let me be fair."

Grandpa Yi's actions were indeed not very ethical. You're so old, and Brother Dongxu has only been gone for a few hours.

He was also his apprentice.

What do you think your neighbors will think if word gets out about this?

Will I ever be able to hold my head up in the courtyard again?

As if she had found someone to talk to, Jia Zhangshi raised her voice by half an octave: "Did you hear that?"

Even Xu Damao knows what your family is up to. Your Yi family is a shameless bunch of trash, and you are trash too.

"Wang Cuilan, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm sitting in front of your house and won't leave."
