Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

Hospital!

Liu Haizhong had already woken up. At first, he was in a fit of impotent rage in the ward, but after being stopped by the nurse, he lay on the bed sulking and dared not shout loudly anymore.

He told his wife to report him to the authorities later. He suffered a broken left forearm, a fractured right shoulder, and was hit on the head with a rolling pin. He tried to dodge but was hit as well and immediately lost consciousness.

It's embarrassing; I've lost face in the courtyard house.

However, whether there's any benefit in going against this crazy old shrew, Jia Zhangshi, is unclear. I'm not afraid of her; I was only beaten by her today because I was being careful.

At home, Guangqi is still young. If Jia Zhangshi treats him... it seems like Guangqi will be in a lot of trouble. For Guangqi's sake, maybe I should just endure it.

Liu Haizhong began making excuses for his cowardly nature. Jia Zhangshi threatened him with Liu Guangqi, but ultimately decided to compromise for the sake of her son. He would wait for Yi Zhonghai to deal with her.

He was extremely unwilling!

In Liu Haizhong's eyes, there was indeed only Liu Guangqi; he wouldn't care if anyone else was threatened.

The other people in the courtyard were also frightened by Jia Zhangshi's sudden madness and began to fear her again.

Jia Zhangshi has won a temporary victory and is prepared to fight desperately for her family. Widows are not to be trifled with.

At 8:30, Xiao Zhao from the Military Control Commission arrived at the courtyard with two soldiers and went straight to Jia Zhangshi's house. Liu Haizhong had already instructed his wife to report to the authorities.

"...That's how it is. I did nothing wrong. Liu Haizhong wanted to hit me, so why couldn't I hit him back? You all said that I wasn't wrong to fight back." Jia Zhangshi spoke with conviction.

"An old shrew with a sharp mind, this is going to be difficult," Xiao Li said to Liu Haizhong's wife after listening to Jia Zhangshi's account of the events and asking a few people in the compound.

"Tell your man to stop hitting people. A grown man being beaten into the hospital by a woman his own age is shameful enough. This is his fault, and Jia Zhangshi is not responsible."

Can't you people in your courtyard house just settle down? You're all so troublesome. And you, Jia Zhangshi, don't think I don't know you seized on Comrade Liu Haizhong's weakness to attack you first. You'd better behave yourself.

"If anything happens at the courtyard, you'll definitely be there. If you cause any more trouble, watch out, we'll deal with you. Back to base." "Little Li is also straightforward and decisive, with a clear sense of right and wrong."

"Shi Xiaoxiang (Liu Haizhong's wife, name not found, made up by the author), listen carefully, this is Liu Haizhong's fault."

If he's not satisfied, let him come to me after he's discharged. I'll beat him to a pulp. You and Liu Guangqi can come together, and I'll send your whole family to heaven.

When Shi Xiaoxiang saw the kitchen knife in Jia Zhangshi's hand, she chickened out, just like Liu Haizhong! "Jia Zhangshi, don't be so arrogant, you just wait."

He left a harsh message, telling Liu Haizhong to go home and take care of his son. He said there were nurses at the hospital, his lower body was fine, and it wouldn't affect his activities. He just needed to be helped to sit up.

After seeing Shi Xiaoxiang leave, Jia Zhangshi looked at the crowd with an air of arrogance. Some people lowered their heads, while others did not care.

When she looked at He Yuzhu defiantly, he responded with one finger pointing to the sky, followed by another.

He Yushui never lets her brother have all the credit.

Just as Jia Zhangshi was about to start scolding He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu immediately covered her mouth and dragged her home.

After Jia Zhangshi returned home, everyone dispersed.

"Mom, how could you forget again? Why did you provoke He Yuzhu? If you insult him, he'll beat you up. Unlike that coward Liu Haizhong, we need to wait for an opportunity." Jia Dongxu was helpless with his mother.

"I forgot, I'll be more careful next time, I'll put up with him for a few days."

Jia Dongxu didn't know how to persuade him any further. It didn't matter anymore; let it be. If we're going to die, we'll die together.

You think you can die so easily? You dare to provoke your Master Zhu? I'll make you and your son pay!

After acquiring the system, He Yuzhu's vengeful nature intensified. Was it because he had become narrow-minded and was evolving into a fool, or was it because he harbored a ruthless ambition?

He Yuzhu hoped it was the latter; he needed to adjust his mindset and not let himself become too extreme. Sha Zhu's narrow-mindedness was very bad and could easily lead to trouble.

Before He Yuzhu could take revenge on the mother and son that night, Qin Huairu knocked on the door before 10 o'clock. After thinking for a moment, he opened the door.

"Zhu Zi, be careful of that mother and son. Find someone to deal with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and you and Yu Shui as well." After saying that, Qin Huairu quickly left.

Damn it, what's going on here! Qin Huairu actually sided with outsiders and came to inform her, her family's enemy. For Qin Huairu, this is no small matter.

Usually it's for adulterers... Pshaw, I'm not an adulterer, at least not now.

We'll have to deal with them more severely tonight. Those two unrepentant bastards dared to hire people to mess with me and Yushui.

Heh, you really thought I'd let you off easy? Master Zhu is furious, you're in for it.

At one o'clock in the morning, a figure silently walked to the front of the Jia family's house, blew a pipe of inhaled smoke into the house, and then left.

Fifteen minutes later, he returned and gently pried open the door of the Jia family's house with a knife. The door opened, the shadowy figure left, and re-entered the Jia family's house in less than ten minutes.

The shadowy figure turned on the flashlight covered by a black cloth, first went to Jia Zhangshi's bedside, lifted the quilt, identified the acupoints, and then inserted eighteen silver needles into eighteen acupoints on her chest and abdomen.

Use the lifting and thrusting technique to adjust the depth and intensity of the silver needle insertion. After five minutes, use the flicking needle technique to enhance the needling sensation and stimulation.

Fifteen minutes later, the twenty-seven silver needles were removed, and Jia Zhangshi was turned over so that her back was facing the sky, and the acupuncture continued.

Twenty minutes later, remove the needle from Jia Zhangshi's body. After three times, you'll suffer the consequences.

Without hesitation, he went to Jia Dongxu's bedside, turned Jia Dongxu up so that his back was facing the sky, and inserted twelve silver needles into twelve acupoints on his back. Several techniques were used within thirty minutes.

Remove the needle, put Jia Dongxu down, close the door, and leave the Jia family.

The courtyard was unusually quiet at night.

.......

The courtyard house was very peaceful for a week. Liu Haizhong was discharged from the hospital on this day. He had his left arm in a sling in front of his chest and his head wrapped in gauze, but he walked normally.

Upon reaching the central courtyard, he spat out a mouthful of phlegm in front of Jia Zhangshi's door, asking her to make sauerkraut with the phlegm.

Jia Zhangshi sensed someone was at home and saw Liu Haizhong, Shi Xiaoxiang, and Liu Guangfu coming to the central courtyard through the window.

Once again, Jia Zhangshi grabbed the family's large rolling pin and rushed out of the house, yelling, "Liu Haizhong, are you still alive? Get well soon and come hit me!"

In this respect, Jia Zhangshi seems a bit like Xu Damao, with a slightly sleazy vibe.

"You...you old shrew, I'm magnanimous, I won't stoop to your level, let's go." Liu Haizhong chickened out; he really was a coward.

Seeing Liu Haizhong leave, Jia Zhangshi smiled, a very happy smile. Defeating Liu Haizhong meant she had won half the battle; Yi Zhonghai was the only one left.

Back then, to save Jia Dongxu and herself, she had to be ruthless to fight other women for territory; otherwise, she and her son might have died long ago.

Jia Zhangshi returned to the Jia family with a smile on her face. Qin Huairu stood at the door in a daze, wondering why Liu Haizhong, a grown man, was so timid.

With such height and weight, it's amazing that she gave up on her short and fat mother-in-law so quickly.

Considering the conversation between Jia Dongxu and his mother, it seems they understand Liu Haizhong very well and know he will definitely admit defeat, so he is not a threat.

There's only Yi Zhonghai left. Has Jia Dongxu found him? Is Zhu Zi on guard? Qin Huairu started to overthink again, until Jia Zhangshi called for the cooking to begin.
