"Shameless! You have absolutely no sense of shame!"
Jia Dongxu was nearly driven mad. His finger trembled as he pointed at Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi, cursing, "Sha Zhu, you bastard! Even if you and my mother got a marriage certificate, I will never acknowledge you! And you—"
He turned to Jia Zhangshi, veins bulging on his forehead, "Are you even fit to be a mother? At your age, still causing such a disgraceful mess? Have you lost your mind?"
The insults grew more and more offensive, but Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi ignored them completely, not even bothering to lift their eyelids.
Jia Dongxu's insults grew increasingly fierce, a testament to his mother's temperament; he hurled out every vile word imaginable, finally causing Jia Zhangshi to lose her temper.
She gripped Sha Zhu's arm tightly as if possessing his food, and glared at her son fiercely: "What? Are you trying to distance yourself from me?"
Jia Dongxu was furious and yelled back without thinking, "That's right! If you really want to stay with this idiot, our mother-son relationship ends today! Go get a divorce right now, or I'm not done with you!"
After hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Qin Huairu and the others were not entirely unmoved.
They knew how much Jia Zhangshi valued her son, and perhaps Jia Dongxu's resolute decision at this moment could make Jia Zhangshi realize her mistake and retract her absurd idea of marrying Sha Zhu.
"Sever ties? You think you can scare me with that?"
Madam Jia scoffed coldly, "If you want to break up, then break up. Leave this room now and don't step back in one more step."
Everyone in the room was shocked by what they heard, and they looked at each other in disbelief.
Who could have imagined that Madam Jia would be so infatuated that she would abandon even her most beloved own child?
"Anyway, you're useless now."
"At worst, I'll have another one with Sha Zhu."
Her voice was calm, as if she were talking about something perfectly ordinary, yet it sent chills down the spines of everyone present, and their long-held ethical values almost crumbled.
They had never heard such words before in their lives.
Jia Dongxu was so angry that he trembled all over and was speechless for a moment.
He knew in his heart that if he were really kicked out of his home, given his current situation, he probably wouldn't last more than a few days.
"Now you only have two paths."
Jia Zhangshi said firmly, "Either acknowledge Sha Zhu as your father, or get out of here yourself."
Jia Dongxu's face turned deathly pale instantly.
He understood that his mother was forcing him to call out "Dad".
He lowered his head in silence, while the guy next to him looked completely bewildered.
The child's simple mind just couldn't understand—how did Sha Zhu suddenly become his grandfather?
From "Silly Pillar" and "Silly Uncle" to "Silly Grandpa"? Bang Geng's eyes widened, his little face filled with bewilderment.
The rapid advancement in seniority was far beyond his comprehension.
Seeing that his grandmother was about to drive away his father for Sha Zhu's sake, Bang Geng looked at Sha Zhu again, and flames of resentment ignited in his eyes.
Fine, since you want to be my grandpa—Bang Geng gritted his teeth inwardly—just wait and see how I deal with you, anyway, I've caused trouble before.
In that young chest, a resentment and malice that should not belong to someone that age was churning.
"Are you still going to stop me?"
Sha Zhu stepped forward, speaking with conviction, "If you force us to separate, it's illegal. I can report it to the police."
"Call the police"
He got the idea from Hao Jianguo.
At that moment, Hao Jianguo was also standing in the crowd watching this farce.
He hadn't expected that "matchmaking charm."
Its efficacy was so potent that it was initially thought to be overestimated, but now it seems to have been underestimated.
A mere piece of yellow paper can make people dizzy and rush straight for a marriage certificate.
Hao Jianguo watched Sha Zhu from afar and found it amusing.
This man used to always talk about getting married, and now I've inadvertently helped him achieve his goal—thinking about it this way, shouldn't Sha Zhu thank me?
The courtyard was in complete chaos. Yi Zhonghai and the others were at a loss and had no idea what to do.
But Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi didn't care about what others thought.
Madam Jia looked at Sha Zhu with affection and said softly, "Now that we're a family, you should move in. We'll have to move out of your place eventually."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
Logically, even if they were to get married, Jia Zhangshi should be the one to move into Shazhu's house.
Is it...
Before they could think it through, Madam Jia spoke again: "Your room is more spacious, but Shazhu, since you've married into our Jia family, you should naturally live here."
You...you're not unwilling, are you?
Her tone was light, yet every word was clear and resonant in everyone's ears.
Jia Zhangshi was completely unaware of the ripples her words had caused in the ears of everyone present.
Yi Zhonghai and everyone else present froze on the spot, exchanging incredulous glances—no one had expected that Sha Zhu would agree to marry into the family.
In everyone's eyes, even if this absurd marriage had gone through, it should have been Jia Zhangshi who had climbed up to Sha Zhu. How could it have been reversed and Sha Zhu had ended up in such a situation?
"What a terrible thing... He's gone completely mad!"
The deaf old woman stomped her feet, trembling with anger.
If she hadn't been so experienced, she probably would have been bullied by this "grandson" by now.
Her actions made him faint from anger.
Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
Everything before him was so bizarre that he even wondered if he was dreaming, and he couldn't help but pinch his thigh hard.
pain.
Not a dream.
Yi Zhonghai's heart sank, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Why would Sha Zhu make such a decision out of the blue?
"Unless it's due to possession... there's no other way to explain it."
He kept repeating it to himself, but dared not actually veer into superstition.
Given Sha Zhu's current state, even if someone were to be brought in to exorcise the evil spirits, he would likely not only refuse but also report them.
You'll be the one who suffers then.
What should I do?
Yi Zhonghai felt a tightness in his temples.
"I'm insane... If Sha Zhu isn't insane, then I'm the one who's insane!"
"What a fool! What was he thinking, doing something so stupid?"
"Our courtyard's reputation is completely ruined this time."
There was a lot of discussion in the courtyard. Many people clenched their fists, and if they weren't afraid of Sha Zhu's strength, they would have almost stepped forward to beat him awake.
Xu Damao was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth.
Although he was happy to see Sha Zhu make a fool of himself, the joke was so horrifying that he couldn't laugh anymore.
Xu Damao became more and more panicked as he thought about it, and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Sha Zhu has been single for too long and has developed a mental illness?
"No... I have to find a matchmaker quickly to arrange a marriage, or I'll end up like him."
When he looked at Sha Zhu again, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
The seemingly madman, Sha Zhu, gently took Jia Zhangshi's hand and kissed it lightly.
"Xiao Zhang, why would I have a problem with that? Since we've agreed to marry into the Jia family, it's only right that we move in."
These words were like a stone thrown into stagnant water, creating even bigger ripples.
Yi Zhonghai originally thought it was Jia Zhangshi who forced him to do it, but he didn't expect that it was Sha Zhu who brought it up himself.
The slight "possession" in his heart
The suspicions immediately intensified.
Jia Zhangshi, her face beaming with happiness, leaned against Sha Zhu and nodded.
Sha Zhu seemed to remember something, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on Yi Zhonghai's face.
"By the way, Uncle Yi, there's something I need to tell everyone."
As soon as Yi Zhonghai heard him speak, his back tensed up.
Now, every word Sha Zhu says feels like a needle pricking his ears.
He unconsciously clenched his fists and stared intently at Sha Zhu.
Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, Sha Zhu couldn't hold back and spoke first: "This is the first time I've married a wife, and I really like Xiao Zhang, so I'm thinking of having a banquet in the courtyard."
As he said this, he raised his face and glanced at Hao Jianguo, his expression full of a competitive spirit—as if to say, "If you, Hao Jianguo, can hold a grand banquet in the courtyard, why can't I, Shazhu?"
Hao Jianguo paused for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head.
Yi Zhonghai and the neighbors in the courtyard were already stunned by the series of changes, and at this moment they could only stare blankly at Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi.
They've even made a scene about getting married and having the groom move in; having a banquet is nothing compared to that.
Seeing the usually shrewish Jia Zhangshi act so docilely made everyone's stomachs churn.
"Goodness... getting married is this scary?"
Unlike Xu Damao, who was just watching the spectacle, Liu Guangfu shuddered at the sight of Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi getting together, and even felt a strong fear of marriage.
He figured it out in his heart: as long as he didn't get married, he would never encounter such an absurd thing.
"No! Absolutely not! You're not allowed in!"
When Jia Dongxu heard that Sha Zhu had actually married into the family, he was completely stunned.
He desperately wanted to grab Sha Zhu and demand an explanation: "Have you lost your mind? Marrying an old woman is outrageous enough, but to go and become a live-in son-in-law? What's the point? The Jia family is dirt poor right now!"
Jia Dongxu roared and made a final struggle, blocking the door and refusing to let Sha Zhu in.
Consumed by rage, he disregarded the fact that she was his own mother and pointed at Jia Zhangshi, cursing her: "You shameless old hag! Do you know what you're doing? You've completely disgraced the Jia family!"
The insult was actually quite reasonable, but the fact that Jia Dongxu called her "old hag" was ridiculous.
The three words left the surrounding crowd looking at each other, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease.
"You little beast! I think you're tired of living!"
Just now, Jia Zhangshi acted as gentle and tender in front of Sha Zhu, but deep down she was still that shrew.
Upon hearing her son swearing, she immediately put her hands on her hips and started swearing back, spewing out a torrent of foul language.
The neighbors in the courtyard looked at each other, stunned by the farce unfolding before them, almost wondering if they were dreaming.
The mother and son were arguing fiercely, but no one stepped forward to mediate.
Everyone knew perfectly well that Jia Zhangshi and Sha Zhu's marriage was a done deal, and meddling in it would be pointless.
Besides, this is purely an internal dispute within the Jia family; what right do outsiders have to interfere? Rather than getting involved in the mess, it's better to just watch the show quietly.
"Jia Dongxu! You bastard, how dare you curse your mother like that? You want a beating, don't you?!"
Sha Zhu got angry and charged over with a roar.
Now, in his heart, Madam Jia is the apple of his eye; how could he tolerate such insults from others? Not even from her own son!
As he shouted, he rushed up to Jia Dongxu and swung his fist down.
"Ouch!"
Jia Dongxu shouted fiercely, but he was actually a cripple. How could he be a match for Sha Zhu? In the blink of an eye, he was beaten to the ground, howling in pain.
"You...you actually dared to hit me...Ouch, Sha Zhu, I'm going to call the police right now...Stop, stop hitting me!"
"Let go of me, idiot, I beg you, please let go, stop hitting me...it hurts so much!"
Jia Dongxu's wails echoed through the courtyard, but no matter how much he cried out, Sha Zhu's arms continued to swing with a whooshing sound, the slaps landing solidly, showing no sign of stopping.
"Call the police? Sure, go ahead and do it."
"Don't forget, I'm your father now, your father-in-law."
"When a father disciplines his son, he's always right; even if the police come, it's none of our business."
Sha Zhu has now fully embraced the role of "father".
The character, with the line "The father beats the son."
He threw it out, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.
At this point, who would dare to say a word? Even if Sha Zhu really beat Jia Dongxu badly, no one would dare to speak up to stop him.
Not to mention that at this moment, Sha Zhu is like a raging bull with bloodshot eyes; anyone who gets close to him is doomed.
"Well done! That's how you teach him a lesson!"
Surprisingly, when Jia Zhangshi saw her son being beaten, she not only didn't get angry, but clapped her hands and cheered, showing no sign of heartache whatsoever.
This scene made many people around wonder: Is Jia Dongxu really her biological son?
After being brutally beaten, Jia Dongxu dared not be defiant and curse anymore. He lay on the ground, panting heavily, and huddled next to the stick.
Although the father and son dared not utter another sound, their eyes were fixed on Sha Zhu, filled with hatred.
This isn't over yet—that's what they both thought.
In the end, Sha Zhu followed Jia Zhangshi into the Jia family's house.
Upon seeing this, the courtyard erupted in uproar.
The crowd looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although everything had just happened right before their eyes, everyone still felt dazed, as if they had just had a bizarre dream.
"Sigh, this is ridiculous..."
"From now on, we'll have to walk with our heads down when we go out. If outsiders knew we belonged to this compound, they'd have their backs pierced."
"What a terrible thing to do, what a terrible thing to do."
"Let's all go home. Let's all go home."
People shook their heads and left one after another, but they kept whispering among themselves.
After all, such things are so rare that everyone will have plenty to talk about for a long time to come.
