A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Unaware of what was happening outside, Jia Dongxu opened the door and came out.

As soon as I stood in front of Sha Zhu, I saw Sha Zhu's distorted face.

"What's wrong...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Sha Zhu threw a cannon punch straight at Jia Dongxu's face.

Sha Zhu knew very well that if he argued with Jia Dongxu for a while, the matter would definitely come to nothing.

He Daqing just ran away, he's not dead. You can't just take over the house like that.

As for the word "rent," not only would Sha Zhu not believe it, but even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it.

Now, putting everything else aside, there are still several empty rooms in this courtyard!

If you're willing to rent, just go to the neighborhood office. Who's stopping you?

Still unwilling to pay!

He's unwilling to pay for renting public housing, but he's willing to pay for renting his own house.

If this matter comes to light, it will definitely end up being a misunderstanding in the public eye.

So Sha Zhu should just ignore everything else for now, beat up Jia Dongxu, vent his anger, and then establish his authority as a warning to others!

This will also confirm that the Jia family bullied the two orphans!

To avoid arguing later...

Although Jia Dongxu is six or seven years older than Sha Zhu.

But Sha Zhu, who had been an apprentice since childhood, had to practice flipping clay pots from a young age...

Coupled with the fact that Jia Dongxu was caught off guard, he was completely overwhelmed and beaten.

Actually, if he could, he would prefer to play against Yi Zhonghai.

However, the other party was considered high in the courtyard due to their age, prestige, and seniority.

If Yi Zhonghai is really attacked, this matter will be difficult to resolve peacefully.

But beating Jia Dongxu was different. They were the same age, and Sha Zhu was a few years younger than him, so it was fine to beat him up.

Outsiders might say it's just young people fooling around; who hasn't had a few fights these days?

The saying goes, "Fighting isn't scary, it's the loser who's embarrassed..."

"You stupid Zhu, you wretched little beast! Let go of my Dongxu!"

The current Jia Zhangshi is not as fat as she was at the beginning of the original drama. After all, it seems that the Jia family hasn't had many good days yet...

Although she was thin, Jia Zhangshi was still quite strong. How could she have raised Jia Dongxu if she didn't work hard?

After sensing that Jia Zhangshi was truly enraged, Sha Zhu was pulled aside by her.

Jia Zhangshi ignored Sha Zhu and quickly helped her own son up.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's bloody mouth, bruises around his eyes, and swollen face, Jia Zhangshi was filled with rage.

She rushed over, intending to attack Sha Zhu.

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu was already on guard against her and easily used his skill to push her back, knocking down the unsuspecting Jia Dongxu!

The other person is currently covering their face and groaning in pain...

"Hey, Lao Jia, come up here quickly! While you were gone, everyone in this courtyard was bullying us, a widow and her child. Come up and take them away..."

Jia Zhangshi, who had fallen to the ground, didn't get up. She just sat on the ground, slapped her thigh, and started wailing!

The neighbors who were watching the commotion from a distance are now much closer!

"What's going on here? Aunt Jia, what's this grudge between you two? Why are you making such a fuss?"

When a neighbor came over to ask why, Jia Zhangshi began to embellish the story.

Of course, she wouldn't say a word about Yi Zhonghai or the house.

Even though Jia Zhangshi didn't realize what Sha Zhu was doing at first, she did realize it when she fell to the ground.

It's all Yi Zhonghai's fault.

But since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more; all we can do is keep smearing dirty water on Sha Zhu's head.

"Dongxu and I were having dinner at home when that little bastard Shazhu came up and started hitting Dongxu without saying a word. After hitting Dongxu, he hit me too! This is bullying a widow and her child! Old Jia, come up here and take this little beast away..."

The person who stepped in to break up the fight was Chen Dahua, who had moved in less than six months ago.

Her husband's surname is Guo, and his given name is Guo Chang. He works at a thermos factory not far from here.

Their family is one of the six households living in the central courtyard.

I've always thought Jia Zhangshi had a kind face, but I never expected her to be so loud when she made a scene.

Now she didn't know whether to help him up or step back.

He kept blaming himself, wondering why he had to step in. Wouldn't it have been better to just watch the show like everyone else?

"Ahem! Where's Lao Yi? Such a big thing happened at the Intermediate People's Court, why didn't he come out?"

Liu Haizhong walked out of the crowd with his hands behind his back.

Look, look!

In critical moments, if something really goes wrong, it's up to me to solve it.

"Silly Zhu, why are you hitting people for no reason?"

Did you even ask about that?

How can it be defined as assaulting someone for no reason?

Sha Zhu had everything planned out, but as soon as someone asked, he immediately started accusing the Jia family...

Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's just pin the blame on the other person first!

Now, things have gotten even worse; first, he's been unfairly labeled with a huge accusation by his bangs...

Sha Zhu didn't reply, his eyes sweeping up and down Liu Haizhong with disdain.

Seeing this expression, Liu Haizhong became furious.

"Silly Zhu, I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering?"

"No way, Liu Haizhong, who do you think you are? You think I have to answer your questions?"

Liu Haizhong's face flushed red with anger. He stretched out his right hand, his index finger pointing at Sha Zhu, trembling slightly.

Sha Zhu originally wanted to press his advantage, but seeing the other party's appearance, he became a little scared.

"Alright, fine, I give up. You should go back and find a stool to sit on, or you'll get so angry you'll blame it on me!"

While the group was arguing, Luo Wencui finally helped Yi Zhonghai, who had fallen, out of Sha Zhu's house.

He was unlucky, too, because his right arm slammed hard onto the threshold of Sha Zhu's house.

I couldn't muster any strength just now, and it hurt whenever I moved.

Fortunately, Luo Wencui had been keeping an eye on what was happening outside. When she saw Sha Zhu beating up Jia Dongxu alone, and Yi Zhonghai wasn't with him, she realized something might have happened...

"Old Yi, is your arm alright?"

Yi Zhonghai's face was extremely gloomy.

If there's nothing wrong, how could he not get up?

Seeing that everyone in the courtyard had gathered around, and that Sha Zhu was there loudly recounting how the Jia family had bullied their family...

Although Liu Haizhong had a great thirst for officialdom and liked to put on airs, he didn't like to take sides.

Yi Zhonghai failed to step forward immediately, and Liu Haizhong, having just been humiliated by Sha Zhu, remained silent with a dark expression.

The other people around don't care; it's none of my business, so I don't care!

They are the typical type who side with whoever wins!

If the Jia family were to gain the upper hand, they would accuse Sha Zhu of being petty and narrow-minded.

But now that Sha Zhu has gained the upper hand, they will accuse the Jia family of making trouble out of nothing and trying to seize their house...

Of course, there's a limit to this...

If someone gets angry, they'll obediently shut up!

Since Yi Zhonghai failed to step forward immediately, Sha Zhu gained the upper hand, which means he suffered the beating for nothing!

Even if Yi Zhonghai were to step in in time, it would still be quite difficult to suppress this matter.

After all, it was only the end of 51, and many neighbors in the courtyard were still testing each other's boundaries and limits.

If you dare to ask the He family to lend you a house today, will you dare to ask me to kick my whole family out tomorrow?

If someone in your Jia family really holds a high-ranking official position, they will still seek to maximize their own benefits and minimize their own risks.

You're nothing, yet you dare to daydream and fantasize here. Who else should I criticize if not you?

In fact, when Yi Zhonghai went to the He family to discuss this matter, he had already planned out the entire sequence of events.

How to start, how to end? If Sha Zhu is really stupid, then getting the house is already a piece of cake.

If you're not that naive, it won't hurt to test the waters.

Based on his understanding of Sha Zhu's personality, he was confident that he could appease the other party and make this a minor matter!

To my utter surprise, my attempt to pull and tug at Sha Zhu failed, and instead caused me to fall.

This fall took him by a mile that was beyond his expectations...
