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

"Bang Geng, you see, this is the result of eating large intestines. You must never think about eating large intestines again in the future, okay? Otherwise, you will end up like grandma, with a mess all over the floor."

Banggeng was still young and didn't know the reason. He only saw Jia Zhang's miserable state. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he said he would never eat large intestine again.

Xu Damao wanted to laugh when he saw this. The method of coaxing children was the same from childhood to adulthood.

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense, you're still a child. It's okay if you poop in your trouser pockets. Why don't you wear open-crotch pants and squat on the ground when you want to poop."

Xu Damao offered an idea with a wicked smile, causing Qin Huairu to glare at him. However, she came up with an idea in the blink of an eye.

"Did you hear what your Uncle Xu said, Banggeng? Next time you need to poop, run to his house. Come on, let me show you around."

Qin Huairu took Bang Geng's hand and walked towards the backyard. This scared Xu Damao, who quickly stopped them and apologized before ending the incident.

He was really afraid that Banggeng would do this. Then he would just have to blame himself for his bad luck, because it was his fault for bringing it up first.

After leaving the house, Xu Damao was a little angry and simply directed his anger at Jia Zhangshi. After picking up a small stone on the roadside, he walked to the vicinity of the toilet and looked around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he threw the stone in.

call out!

Snapped!

Ouch!

"Who is the shameless person throwing rocks into the toilet? Don't they know there are people using the toilet inside? Do you have any sense of public morality? What a rotten person who gave birth to a son without any eyes..."

After hearing that it was indeed Jia Zhang's voice and that he had not called the wrong person, Xu Damao happily went to work. He wanted to share this good news with Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan couldn't help laughing after hearing Xu Damao's story. Although it was a bit exaggerated, it was also a way of telling a story.

The most important thing is to tell stories that can attract talents.

"Let me tell you, I don't know where on Mrs. Jia Zhang's body my stone hit, but I think it must have been painful. Hahahaha."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly and asked Xu Damao, "You said that Jia Zhang's wound hadn't healed yet and it was contaminated with feces. Would it cause an infection? If this isn't handled properly, it could be fatal."

Xu Damao also attended high school, and while his grades weren't great, he did have some knowledge of these things. "I think it's 80% likely. If the infection is mild, it's probably okay. Disinfecting with alcohol might be enough. But if it's more serious, I'm afraid I'll have to remove the flesh."

Xu Damao shook his head, as if frightened by the pain of cutting flesh.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and decided to help Jia Zhang lose some weight.

After get off work at the steel mill, Qi Ting found Jiang Dalei and told him that her parents wanted to see him tomorrow.

Jiang Dalei was a little excited and nervous when he heard this. He asked Qi Ting what he should bring.

Qi Ting smiled and told him that he didn't need to bring anything. Her parents were extremely happy to know that someone was willing to have her.

Anyone who reaches a certain age will face pressure from all sides to get married. Especially in this day and age, even though the legal age of marriage is 18 for women and 20 for men.

However, not many people really abide by it. Even in the city, there are people who get married before the age of marriage. The situation is even worse in rural areas. This custom still exists even after decades.

Not to mention that we still have the concept of "virtual age". If a man is clearly in his twenties and doesn't get married, people will say, "He's already thirty and still hasn't found a wife. His life is over."

Therefore, Qi Ting's family faces a lot of pressure. They are not a highly educated family, but ordinary people, doing ordinary jobs, receiving ordinary education, and having ordinary thoughts.

Qi Ting, an older single woman, is also having a headache. She tries to find a matchmaker, but no one is willing to take her on. Even if someone does, she can't find a man willing to go on a blind date with her.

Now that one has finally appeared, I heard that her family is well off. It can be said that they are patient enough that they didn't pack Qi Ting up and send her over.

After returning to the courtyard, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai also heard about what happened today.

The two men's faces darkened at the same time.

Jia Dongxu thought he was embarrassed again, but it didn’t matter. He just had no appetite for dinner at night.

Yi Zhonghai cursed Jia Zhang inwardly, saying she was such a speechless woman. How could she do such a thing? Eating large intestines was one thing, but how could she not control herself? Walking two steps, is that so difficult? She's worse than a three-year-old.

After Jia Dongxu calmed down, he asked Qin Huairu, "Where's Mom? Where is she?"

Qin Huairu was stunned. She didn't know where Jia Zhang was.

Suddenly, her body swayed and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Jia Dongxu was quick to hug her and said, "Dongxu, Mom might still be in the bathroom. I forgot to give her toilet paper, so I came back to pick her up."

Looking at Qin Huairu's pitiful appearance and the steaming food in the pot, Jia Dongxu naturally couldn't say anything to blame her, not to mention that he had no intention of doing so.

A sloppy, trouble-making mother who led her children astray and cheated on her father.

A young, beautiful and charming wife who manages the housework in an orderly manner and prepares meals every day waiting for you to come home.

As long as your brain is not on your butt, anyone knows how to choose.

"It's okay. You've been wronged today. Wait here. Master and I will go get Mom back."

Jia Dongxu helped Qin Huairu sit on a chair and was about to go out.

At this time, Bang Geng jumped out and said, "Dad, Grandpa, why don't we eat first."

The two paused, as if they had thought of something, and turned around and sat down. "Bang Geng is right. Let's eat first. It won't be too late to go after dinner. What do you think, Master?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't want Jia Zhangshi's return to ruin the atmosphere. "Yes, after a busy day, it's most important to fill your stomach first. Your mother has been squatting in the toilet for so long, so a little while won't hurt."

Yi Zhonghai's words made Jia Dongxu laugh. As expected, people will only truly talk about "fairness" when their own interests are involved.

Under the dim light, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu's family of four, five people, were having dinner. Although the food was simple and not particularly delicious, everyone enjoyed it very much.

They had this meal for almost an hour.

Chapter 257: Second Leaving the Palace

After dinner, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao squatted outside the yard and smoked, followed by Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue.

"Brother Damao, are you sure that Jia Zhang is still squatting in the toilet? Then why hasn't Jia Dongxu come to pick her up yet? Isn't he a filial son?" Jiang Yang asked while squatting in the corner.

The two of them are not in school now, and usually go to the library. Now that Chen Qian has just given birth to a child, the two of them go to the hospital to coax the child during the day and have no idea what happened in the yard.

"Why are you so anxious? Jia Zhang has been squatting in the toilet for so long, the food has become so flavorful. It's dinner time now. If it were you, would you be willing to eat with her?"

Xu Damao was smart enough to tell the truth right away. He had originally called Lou Xiao'e, but she felt sick and didn't come.

Jiang Yang and Jiang Yue nodded, both with a look of disgust in their eyes.

Jiang Fan looked at them speechlessly. He was so bored that he had nothing to do. He just sat there after dinner waiting to see Jia Zhangshi. He wasn't afraid that he would vomit everything he ate.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu walked out of the yard step by step with heavy hearts.

The neighbors who had finished their meal also cast their gazes at them.

"How does the saying go? The wind blows, and the warrior returns."

"The wind is shaky and the water is cold, and once the strong man goes, he will never return."

"Yes, that's what I mean. I think Yi Zhonghai is also a warrior. Why would he come here if he didn't have any feelings for Jia Zhang? Even if he wanted to find Jia Dongxu to take care of him in his old age, he wouldn't treat Jia Zhang like this, right?"

Xu Damao held his chin and stroked the stubble on his chin with his fingers, as if he was thinking about a century-old problem.

Jiang Fan didn't think so. If Yi Zhonghai was interested in Jia Zhangshi, there was only one possibility: Jia Zhangshi was pregnant with his child, but that was impossible. Suddenly, Jiang Fan smiled playfully and whispered a few words in Xu Damao's ear.

As they were talking, Jia Dongxu and the other two had already arrived in front of the toilet.

Although the three of them were willing to make this sacrifice before the meal, when the moment came, none of them wanted to go in.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Huairu finally came out. She had to go into the women's restroom.

Just as she stepped forward, an inopportune voice reached her ears.

"Qin Huairu, if you don't want to go in, just ask Jia Dongxu to pay some money to hire a dung collector to help."

Xu Damao's words were like the sun appearing in the darkness, instantly illuminating Qin Huairu's heart. Although hiring a dung collector would cost some money, it would be great if she could avoid contact with Jia Zhangshi.

Then Qin Huairu stared at Jia Dongxu with a burning gaze. What she meant was self-evident.

Jia Dongxu didn't hesitate too much. He and Yi Zhonghai were not suitable to go in. Only Qin Huairu was suitable. But looking at his wife's eyes, Jia Dongxu couldn't bear to say that he would let her go in again. She had dealt with enough of these things in the past two days.

"Yeah, we can still find a dung collector to do it. Dongxu, you guys wait here and calm your mother down. I'll go find someone."

Yi Zhonghai ate a few more bites because the dining atmosphere was good today. Now he was standing outside the toilet breathing the air and felt a little nauseous.

Now that he had such a solution, he naturally had to do something to win over the feelings of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu. He had seen the rejection in Qin Huairu's eyes just now.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai leave, Xu Damao said, "Why are you asking me to say this? It would be better to let Qin Huairu and the others go. Isn't this what a family should do?"

"Look, it's Yi Zhonghai who's looking for someone. It's going to cost money to hire someone to do this. Who's going to pay? Of course it's Yi Zhonghai. If this gets out, it'll be like Yi Zhonghai lavishly spending a fortune on Jia Zhang."

Jiang Fan's expression was a little subtle at the moment, and Xu Damao also smiled evilly.

At this moment, Jia Zhang in the toilet was complaining to Jia Dongxu about what happened to her today and how much suffering she had endured.

Who knew that Jia Dongxu would not pay any attention to her and simply ignored her. After telling Jia Zhang that someone would come in and rescue her later, he pulled Qin Huairu aside to talk.

Jia Zhang was abandoned in the toilet.

Not long after, Yi Zhonghai came over with a female comrade.

After the visitor asked about the situation, he put on a mask that he had used countless times and went in without saying a word.

In the bathroom, Jia Zhang saw someone coming and started cursing without caring who it was, "Who are you? Let Qin Huairu come in to serve me. It's natural for a daughter-in-law to take care of her mother-in-law. I'm telling you, don't be so rude. Awooo~"

The night soil worker didn't care about Jia Zhang's nonsense. She didn't know Qin Huairu. She came with one purpose: to clean Jia Zhang up, change her pants, and take her out.

As for behaving rudely, it hurt her.

Sorry, it's normal for working people's hands to be a little rough.

Ignoring Jia Zhang's screams of pain, the night soil collector cleaned up the place, picked her up, lifted her numb legs, and threw her dirty pants out.

A few minutes later, Jia Zhang changed into new pants and walked out shakily behind the excrement collector. However, her walking posture was quite strange, and her legs were trembling and unsteady.

When Xu Damao saw this, his eyes lit up. He knew exactly what this movement looked like.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu stepped forward, each holding one side of Jia Zhang as they walked home.

After returning home and seeing Yi Zhonghai off, Jia Dongxu poured a cup of hot water for Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhang picked up the cup and drank it all, then drank several more glasses of water. She was a little dehydrated after such a long diarrhea. (When I was in high school, the school cafeteria food was stale, and many people had diarrhea. One of my friends was actually quite dehydrated.)

"Dongxu, is this how you treat me? I'm so miserable. I've been squatting in the toilet for so long, and I even urinated in front of so many people during the day. I've lost all my face. How can I live like this?"

Jia Zhang cried and pounded the table, tears gushing out.

Jia Dongxu, however, was not moved at all. He looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "Don't tell me these things. Why didn't you tell me when you were eating alone today? Do you know that there is not much food left at home? We haven't eaten such a big meal in a long time. Why didn't you buy some meat to replenish us?"

"When you were in the hospital, the doctor told you not to have any sexual activity, but you didn't listen. You deserve this!"

Jia Zhang didn't know what to say after being scolded, so she could only say awkwardly, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so I'm a little craving for it."

"You haven't eaten meat in a long time. We haven't eaten meat in a long time either. Why don't you think of taking out money to buy meat for us? Look at Banggeng, he's almost skinny. He even has to fight wild dogs for meat!"

Jia Zhang said nothing more. It was impossible for her to take out her own money again.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu didn't count on her. After venting his anger, he asked Qin Huairu to take the child to bed and left the dirty clothes to Jia Zhangshi. He was going to go to Yi Zhonghai to complain and see if he could get some benefits.

Before leaving, he thought of the conflict with the Jiang family again, frowned and reminded Jia Zhangshi, "Don't forget that you haven't apologized to the Jiang family yet."

Chapter 258: It’s a good time to work when the night is quiet

Late at night.

Jia Dongxu fell asleep with a happy smile on his face. He discovered a way to make money just when Yi Zhonghai was looking for a night soil collector to help.

It was Yi Zhonghai who asked people to come here, and he also paid for it.

This gave Jia Dongxu an idea, which was to play the victim in front of Yi Zhonghai and see if he could get some unexpected benefits.

As expected, after Jia Dongxu said, "Master, I'm suffering. I really don't know how to hold on. I can't live like this."

Yi Zhonghai was obviously flustered for a moment. He told Jia Dongxu that the days of suffering would eventually pass and good days were just around the corner.

After a few words, Yi Zhonghai supported half a pound of meat tickets and five dollars.

This can be said to be one of the few supports that Yi Zhonghai received, apart from the food expenses he paid to the Jia family.

Logically speaking, Yi Zhonghai chose Jia Dongxu as his caregiver, and he also recognized Jia Dongxu's good character. So, seeing that the Jia family was in trouble, it was completely reasonable for him to give some money and supplies.

But he had previously done Sha Zhu a favor by using Sha Zhu's things. Sha Zhu had received nothing in return except two words of thanks.

Now that Sha Zhu has broken out of the trap, Jia Dongxu can only start from Yi Zhonghai if he wants something.

But for some reason, Yi Zhonghai rarely takes the initiative to provide material assistance, but instead provides more verbal encouragement and education.
