Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"What does the Jiang family want to do? They came back without saying a word, and didn't even tell me whether it was a boy or a girl. I hope something unexpected happened."

Jia Zhang hissed, her eyes filled with gloating, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

"Hehehe, I knew the Jiang family wouldn't always be so lucky. Now something bad has happened. I reckon it's not a small matter. Probably, both big and small things have gone wrong. It's what they deserve!"

Jia Zhang smiled sinisterly, just like an old fox who had lived for decades.

Banggeng didn't know what Jia Zhang was thinking, he just thought her smile was terrifying. He shrank unconsciously and hid to the side.

"Come here, Bang Geng, come here. Grandma will tell you that we can have the feast soon."

"A feast? Really, grandma?"

Banggeng immediately became happy. He had been longing for a banquet. In the past, when times were better, Jia Dongxu had taken him there. While banquets weren't exactly sumptuous, they always had one or two meat dishes.

This is so tempting.

"Grandma, when are we having the feast? Where are we going? Will there be meat?"

Banggeng raised several questions in succession.

Jia Zhang naturally told him confidently, "We're having a feast at the Jiang family's. You see, someone in their family had a baby today, but they didn't congratulate anyone, nor did they bring the baby home. It's likely someone died, and after death, don't we have to have a feast?"

"Grandma, does the Jiang family's banquet include braised pork?" Banggeng said, his mouth watering.

"Of course they do. Not only do they have braised pork, they also have pork elbows, roast chicken, and roast duck. Although their family may not be as good as our Jia family, they are still considered a wealthy family. If they don't have these things on the table, it would be a disgrace!"

The more Banggeng listened, the more excited he became. He wished he could run to Jiang's house for a feast right away.

After Jiang Fan and his friends returned home, they each divided the work. The men helped out while Jiang Fan took charge of cooking. The women stayed in the hospital to take care of Chen Qian and the child.

After a while, smoke rose.

"Brother Ping'an, I'm looking for Jiang Fan. Where is he?"

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e came back carrying two old hens that were still clucking and went straight to the door of the Jiang family.

"Da Mao, Lao Er is cooking."

Jiang Ping'an also greeted Xu Damao and his wife warmly.

"Cooking? That's perfect. I heard my sister-in-law gave birth, so I bought two chickens and planned to send one over, and we'll keep one for ourselves to satisfy our cravings. Jiang Fan is cooking now, so let him stew these two chickens together, and save me the trouble."

Xu Damao handed the chicken in his hand to Jiang Ping'an with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an didn't refuse either. He knew that if Jiang Fan was here, he would definitely accept it.

Jiang Fan said that anything that Xu Damao gave him, such as food, could be kept, and he would return it later and would not let Xu Damao suffer any loss.

"Okay, thank you very much. This hen looks like it's been raised for at least three years."

Chapter 248: Banggeng Comes to Ask for Chicken

"That's two and a half years."

Xu Damao smiled and said that he had gone to many places and spent a lot of money to buy these two old hens.

"Okay, come in and talk. Don't leave tonight and just eat at my house."

Xu Damao had eaten at the Jiang family many times, but he didn't eat for free.

I always find ways to add dishes or something.

Jiang Fan also came out, "Brother, go kill the chicken." He turned to look at Xu Damao, "You two, where is my godson? Why don't you bring him here with you?"

Xu Damao chuckled, "It's with my parents. They said they'll let us see it for two days and let us work harder to have a son and a daughter."

Lou Xiao'e blushed and put her hand on Xu Damao's waist and pinched him hard. Xu Damao was really something. How could he bring up such a thing?

Xu Damao groaned and grabbed Lou Xiaoe's hand. "What's the big deal? We're an old married couple. Besides, my brother is not an outsider."

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Xu Damao and asked, "Jiang Fan, how is Sister Chen Qian? Is the child okay?"

"It's going well. The birth went smoothly. It's a girl. We've named her Jiang Yining."

"This name is great, much better than Jinhua or Xiaocui."

Lou Xiao'e also nodded. Nowadays, many little girls have the same name as Sha Zhu's daughter, especially in rural areas. There are many girls named Chunhua, Xiahua, Qiuhua, and Pangya in one village.

Even in the city, there are many girls with names that are very in line with the current era. Names like Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, and Jia Dongxu are all cultured.

Jiang Fan was just about to tease Xu Damao and ask him if he would look like him if he had a daughter when he heard the shouts of Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue outside the house.

"Great! I think you're itching for trouble! How dare you take our chicken!"

"Bah! What do you mean yours? This is ours, hurry up and make it into roast chicken for me!"

Bang Geng's voice sounded very matter-of-fact, as if the chicken really belonged to their family, and Jiang Yang and the others who were handling the chicken were servants of the Jia family.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly, and his voice was loud and arrogant.

As he walked out the door, Banggeng stared greedily at the chicken in the basin that was about to be plucked, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it and take a bite.

Jiang Fan glanced at Bang Geng, then glanced at the neighbors watching the show. Everyone's eyes were filled with greed, to varying degrees, but that was human nature.

Old hens are incredibly expensive these days, and they couldn't even afford one during the Lunar New Year. It's not that they can't afford it, but it's just not worth it.

When Bang Geng saw Jiang Fan, he remembered what his father once said, "Jiang Fan actually makes most of the decisions in the Jiang family."

So he said arrogantly, "Jiang Fan, you've come just in time. Hurry up and pluck the chicken and make it into a roast chicken for me. And your family's feast can't be without my favorite pork elbow!"

"A banquet? What banquet? The Jiang family is going to have a banquet?"

"Could it be that Chen Qian gave birth to another big fat boy? Then the Jiang family has another male member."

"But this is no reason to set up a banquet. Who can afford to set up a banquet in this situation?"

The neighbors were puzzled. Jiang Fan's family usually appeared to be in a slightly better state than theirs, but not by much. They didn't eat a feast of meat and fish all day, but instead had a variety of fruits and nutritional supplements on hand.

Anyone with a sound mind would not think there is anything wrong with this if they think about the Jiang family's previous salary reserves.

At this time, Bang Geng spoke up, "Jiang Fan, you can't let the death of two money-losing people in your family affect my feast."

The neighbors were shocked! They didn't understand what Bang Geng meant. Someone in the Jiang family died? They hadn't heard the news.

On the other hand, Jiang Fan's face was gloomy, and the rest of the Jiang family was in a similar mood. Today was a double celebration for their family, a rare auspicious day.

But now Banggeng actually dared to say such things in public. He didn't even treat them as human beings. Even clay people can get angry, let alone these young and strong men.

Jiang Fan walked straight up to Bang Geng. The huge height difference and the hint of murderous intent he intentionally revealed made Bang Geng shudder and get goose bumps all over his body.

Jiang Fan didn't say anything, but his teeth were chattering in fear, as if he had seen some terrible monster.

After a few breaths, Banggeng suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears, accompanied by a smell of urine.

"Awesome!"

Yi Zhonghai ran quickly to Banggeng, calling his name and shaking his body, fearing that something might happen to him.

"Jiang Fan, what did you do to Bang Geng?"

Yi Zhonghai roared, veins popping out on his face, and it was obvious that he was really angry.

Jia Dongxu also walked over with a grim face and looked at Banggeng, then looked at Jiang Fan and others with a bad expression, as if he wanted an explanation.

Without waiting for Jiang Fan to speak, Jiang Dalei and the others stood in front of Jiang Fan.

"Yi Zhonghai, how dare you, an old man, talk to my brother Fan like that? You're accusing us without knowing right from wrong. Why don't you ask them what your good grandson Bang Geng did?"

"That's right! And you, Jia Dongxu! I think you're a nice guy, so I'm giving you a face and calling you brother! But if you can't raise a child, don't have one! Throw him against the wall! Don't let your belt go loose and throw seeds everywhere!"

"But so what? Even if Bang Geng did something wrong, he's still so young, still a child. Can't you be more magnanimous?"

You don't even need to hear the whole thing to know that it was Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, who said this.

Jiang Yang sneered, "Grandiose? We are so magnanimous that we didn't even treat him like a ball and kick him to death. My brother just glanced at him and he got so scared. He is a loser and can he blame others?"

Jiang Yang didn't go to see Jia Dongxu and the others. After glancing at the neighbors, he spoke loudly, "Everyone in the front yard should know that there's a happy event in our family today. My cousin went on a blind date today, and not long after his blind date showed up, my sister-in-law happened to give birth."

"The birth went smoothly. My eldest brother gave birth to a girl. Everyone in our family is extremely happy. This is a great thing. According to the old custom, even if we don't have a banquet, we should at least give everyone a handful of peanuts, sunflower seeds and candies to make it lively."

"But the situation is not good now, and our family can't get these rare things. Plus, my sister-in-law and the others are still in the hospital, so I didn't tell anyone about this."

"But I don't know how two money-losing people died in our family. We even had to hold a banquet and make roast chicken and pork elbows for them!"

"My eldest brother asked Xu Damao to buy these two chickens for my sister-in-law to nourish her body, but this idiot came to our house and wanted to roast our chickens for him to eat! Is there any law in this? Is there any law?"

Chapter 249: The Sin of the Stick

Jia Dongxu looked at Banggeng who was still crying and kicked him out with a flying kick.

"Cry! All you do is cry! You can't do anything but stir up trouble! How could I, Jia Dongxu, have a son like you?"

After listening to Jiang Yang and the others, he knew that the problem was with Bang Geng, and he believed Jiang Fan's words 100%.

Jiang Fan's image and reputation are usually very positive. No one would have thought that he is also a guy with a lot of bad intentions.

As for Banggeng, he was so scared that he peed his pants and kept crying without even saying a word of explanation. Jia Dongxu wanted to defend him but it was no use.

And even if Banggen said it, he wouldn't believe it.

Jia Dongxu bowed sincerely to Jiang Fan, "Brother Jiang Fan, I..."

"Don't." Jiang Fan raised his hand to interrupt Jia Dongxu. He knew what Jia Dongxu was going to say next, which would be nothing more than something like the child was still young and it wasn't from the heart, and then a few words like I apologize to you.

Jia Dongxu was very familiar with this process. He didn't know how many times he had used it because of Jia Zhang.

But this time Jiang Fan didn't intend to let it go lightly. With Banggeng's current level of intelligence, he definitely couldn't think of such a thing.

Then there is only one truth, and that is Jia Zhang!

Today Jiang Fan wants to set this fire on Jia Zhang.

"Jia Dongxu, you don't have to pretend to be nice to me, and don't say that Banggeng is young and ignorant. It won't work."

Jiang Fan's words made Jia Dongxu's heart sink. He knew that today's matter would be difficult.

"Jiang Fan, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything. Ask Bang Geng to reveal the person behind this. Have her and Bang Geng go to the hospital together to kowtow and apologize to my sister-in-law and my eldest niece! I'm telling you, this matter is non-negotiable."

Jiang Fan's tone was very firm. Banggeng's coming to their house and causing such a commotion today was a real slap in the face to the Jiang family.

If they were to just let it go lightly because of Jia Dongxu's words, then all the men in the Jiang family might as well just find some noodles to strangle themselves to death.

Today, Bang Geng stepped on the face of the Jiang family, so Jiang Fan must step on the face of the Jia family as well!

Although the Jia family's reputation is worthless, there is nothing else in the Jia family worth Jiang Fan's attention.

The Jia family has no money or food, but Jiang Fan has enough.

Nothing else!

The Jia family is left with only their so-called face.

"Jiang Fan! Don't go too far! Is it reasonable to ask Jia's sister-in-law to kowtow and apologize to your sister-in-law? Jia Zhang is the elder, and you are also an educated person. How come you don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young!"

Yi Zhonghai's expression was even uglier than Jia Dongxu's. As an absolute practitioner of age supremacy, how could he allow such a rebellious thing to happen in front of him.

Especially the one who kowtowed was an elder like him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and tightly grasped his arm with both hands. "Dongxu, you must not agree to this unreasonable request."

Jia Dongxu was very annoyed. He just spent a while with Qin Huairu. How could Jia Zhang have taught Banggeng to be like this? Who did this? Where was his previously well-behaved son? Where had he gone?

When he thought of this, Jia Dongxu suddenly felt that why didn't Jia Zhang just die.

This feeling only lasted for a moment, but it really shocked Jia Dongxu. He admitted that he was disgusted and even hated Jia Zhang, but it was the first time he had ever thought about her death.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu did not respond, Yi Zhonghai thought that Jia Dongxu was really considering this issue seriously, and he suddenly became anxious.

It has been analyzed before that Yi Zhonghai is very suspicious. If Jia Dongxu dares to ask Jia Zhangshi to kowtow and apologize to Chen Qian today, who knows whether he will ask Yi Zhonghai to kowtow and apologize to others in the future?

This can be said to be a great humiliation for Yi Zhonghai!

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jiang Fan, who had a calm expression, and put on his hat. "Jiang Fan, you asked others to kneel down and kowtow to apologize. You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. This is a feudal remnant and should be criticized."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai had a hint of pride between his brows. Only a man as smart as him could come up with such a statement at the critical moment.

However, to his surprise, no one from the Jiang family showed any fear on their faces. Instead, they squinted their eyes and stared at him with more than a dozen eyes.
