Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Everyone watched as the third aunt and Yan Jiefang escorted Xiaodang to the hospital, their faces full of worry. Just now, everyone only heard Yi Zhonghai's one-sided statement and thought that Xiaodang was fine. However, when they saw Xiaodang wrapped in tattered clothes, his face was pale and bloodless, and he was still unconscious, everyone felt bad.

"Oh my God, how come this child is injured like this!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes, it's so pitiful. What a suffering it must be!" another person echoed.

Everyone accused Jia Zhang of being too cruel, even to her own granddaughter. Some people even began to question Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, what are you talking about? Is this a small matter?"

Some of them had a sense of justice. They felt that they were deceived by Yi Zhonghai before, but now they could not bear it any longer. Several old ladies who also had granddaughters at home stood up to attack Jia Zhang. In their opinion, even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Even if the cubs were a loss, the blood of the granddaughter was their own and they were inseparable flesh and blood.

"What are you doing? I just pushed her lightly!" Jia Zhang said while dodging.

However, her explanation was not accepted by everyone, and everyone condemned her and thought she was a vicious grandmother.

"Yi Zhonghai, have you seen this? Check your conscience, is this the trivial matter you mentioned?" Zhang Yuan would not miss the opportunity to use words to squeeze Yi Zhonghai. He knew that this incident had already put Yi Zhonghai in a difficult situation, and as long as he added more fuel to the fire, he would be able to completely expose his hypocritical true face.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned very ugly. He didn't expect things to develop to this point. He originally wanted to protect the Jia family, but he didn't expect that it would cause more trouble. Now, he not only has to face the accusations of everyone, but also has to bear the guilt in his heart.

Liu Haizhong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart: This is really a good opportunity! So, with a look of deep sorrow, he said to Yi Zhonghai in an accusing tone: "Old Yi, look at what you have done? How can there be such a cruel grandmother in the world? She actually treated a five-year-old granddaughter so harshly?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and thought to himself: Hey, what qualifications do you have to say these things, Liu Haizhong? Speaking of cruel parents, you are probably the only one in our yard! His two sons were beaten all over with scars every day, and when could they have enough food? Especially in the cold winter, as long as Liu Haizhong was drunk or in a bad mood, he would not hesitate to pull out the Seven Wolves belt and beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu out of the house. The poor two brothers could only wear thin short-sleeved shorts, shivering in the biting cold wind, and spend one difficult night after another.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai did not respond, Liu Haizhong thought his accusation had worked, and he continued to speak loudly and proudly: "What Zhang Yuan said just now is absolutely right. Xiaodang has been injured so badly, and you actually want to help Jia Zhang conceal the truth. Do you still have any conscience?"

Others also joined in the discussion.

Yi Zhonghai was blushing and ashamed by these words, not knowing how to respond. But he still wanted to try his best to reduce the impact of this matter and control it within the courtyard. So, he turned to Qin Huairu and said sincerely: "Xiao Qin, Xiaodang's matter is all my fault. I really didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. You should have told me in time at the beginning, I would definitely not sit idly by and would definitely help you mediate the conflict. Now that things have developed to this point, it is really unexpected. In my opinion, why don't you listen to me and don't report the case again. I will make the decision for you so that Jia Zhang can be fair and just in treating her grandson and granddaughter equally in the future."

However, Qin Huairu did not take over the conversation. She just stood there quietly, her expression as calm as a still body of water.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Qin Huairu was unmoved, and knew that he couldn't act too hastily. He took a deep breath and spoke again: "Huairu, I understand the grievance and anger in your heart, but we must face the reality calmly. Think about it, if Jia Zhang is really arrested and imprisoned because of this matter, what will be the consequences? Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, they are all innocent children, do you want them to bear such a shadow?"

Qin Huairu's gaze gradually became clear from confusion. She frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Yi Zhonghai struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Besides, you don't have a job now, and you will definitely have to earn money to support your livelihood in the future. What if there is no one at home who beats people? Think about the young children you still have at home who need to be taken care of. If Jia Zhang is not at home, who will take care of them? Especially Huaihua, she is still so young and needs someone to care and take care of her even more."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes gradually regained their vitality, and she began to seriously think about every word Yi Zhonghai said.

Yi Zhonghai was relieved when he saw this. He knew that Qin Huairu had begun to waver. So he continued to persuade her: "Huairu, think about it carefully. Does what I said make sense? Since ancient times, which parent does not care about their children? Although Jia Zhangshi is a bit excessive, she is your mother-in-law and your elder after all. Even if she did something wrong, as a junior, you should not be too harsh on her. After this incident, I believe she will learn her lesson and stop making trouble."

"But can you guarantee that she won't harm my child in the future?" Qin Huairu asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course, you have to believe me. I am a great master." Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Yi Zhonghai was delighted. Knowing that Qin Huairu had been shaken, he quickly assured her, "If she dares to bully you orphans and widows again in the future, I will never let her go!"

Qin Huairu was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Well, since the master said so, I will believe her again. But if she is still the same as before, I will never swallow my anger again!"

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on her." Yi Zhonghai said, patting his chest.

"Yi Zhonghai, have you forgotten about me? How dare you cover up the truth in front of me." Zhang Yuan looked at Yi Zhonghai angrily. He really couldn't tolerate what this old man did.

Yi Zhonghai stared at Zhang Yuan with a gloomy face: "Zhang Yuan, what nonsense are you talking about? I am mediating the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family."

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Mediation? You are so capable that you dare to handle the intentional injury case on behalf of the police. And I just kept listening to you talking, and it was all bullshit."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he was shaking all over: "You, you dare to scold me!"

Zhang Yuan responded without showing any weakness: "Not only will I scold you, I will also scold you again in front of everyone."

Zhang Yuan continued, "Everyone saw what Xiaodang looked like just now. He was beaten like this, but you didn't let Qin Huairu and the people in the hospital take Xiaodang to the hospital. If treatment was delayed or Xiaodang died from excessive blood loss during this period, you, Yi Zhonghai, would be a murderer, and everyone else would be implicated as an accomplice. Oh, and you've also committed the crime of harboring a murderer."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect that they would be implicated. Everyone started to talk and accused Yi Zhonghai of being too extreme.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale. He didn't expect things to develop to this extent. He was originally just afraid that the hospital would be affected, so he chose to cover it up.

"That's not what I meant, and this thing didn't happen. Xiaodang has been sent to the hospital. I asked my wife to take a look at him, and he's nothing serious." Yi Zhonghai hurriedly explained.

"You have the nerve to say that, but you'd better pray that the hospital's diagnosis will be as you expected. In addition, Jia Zhang's assault is already a crime. Regardless of whether she is Xiaodang's biological grandmother or not, her behavior has already constituted a criminal offense. What's more, she is Xiaodang's biological granddaughter, so her behavior is even worse. If anything happens to Xiaodang, she will definitely be punished." Zhang Yuan said seriously.

"No, I didn't mean it. It's that money-loser's fault. If she hadn't been making so much noise, I wouldn't have done anything." When Jia Zhang heard that she was going to eat peanuts, her face turned pale and she shook her fat face from side to side, trying her best to defend herself.

"You are taking advantage of us and thinking we are blind. You don't need us to remind you how you treat Xiaodang normally." Zhang Yuan sneered.

Qin Huairu was stunned. She really didn't know about this. She had to go to work during the day, so she entrusted the children to Jia Zhang's care. She never thought that Jia Zhang would abuse Xiaodang and the others during this time.

When Qin Huairu came to her senses, she noticed the expressions of the people around her. At this moment, she suddenly realized that if she had just listened to Yi Zhonghai, Xiaodang and Huaihua might continue to suffer more bullying, and these things might never be known to her.

"Mom, have you always been taking care of them when I'm not at home? How can you be so cruel? They are your own granddaughters!" Qin Huairu cried.

"Shut up! It's all because of you, a useless mother. You can't even raise your child. He cries loudly because of hunger all day long, and you make me upset!" Jia Zhang retorted loudly.

"Impossible, I clearly prepared breakfast and lunch before going to work, there is no way it is not enough." Qin Huairu frowned, with a puzzled look on her face, and refuted firmly. She thought to herself: Although the family does not have much money, she has always taken good care of the children, especially in terms of diet. Every time before she goes out, she will carefully prepare enough food to ensure that the children can have enough food. This is her responsibility as a mother and her contribution to the family.

"That's because I've had a good appetite recently and have gained weight. The little you make is not enough for me to eat alone. I only eat half full every day, and I've become thinner due to hunger." Jia Zhang explained a little embarrassedly.

"You..." Qin Huairu was speechless and helpless after hearing what Jia Zhang said. She really couldn't understand why Jia Zhang was so shameless and could come up with such an excuse. Her eyes revealed a trace of anger and disappointment, and she felt that Jia Zhang's behavior was simply outrageous.

"What do you mean by you! If you are not incapable of earning money, then this would not happen. In my opinion, you deliberately withheld our food rations so that I would starve to death, and no one would control you, so you could seduce wild men outside. In addition, your money-losing girl cried all day long, disturbing my sleep, so I beat her and told her to shut up." Seeing that Qin Huairu had nothing to say, Jia Zhang immediately seized the opportunity to retort. She cleverly put the blame on Qin Huairu and tried to push the problem back to her. This practice of putting the blame on someone else makes people sigh at its cunning and selfishness.

"I'm not being stingy. My monthly salary at the factory is only 17 yuan, and I have to give you 5 yuan for your retirement. The 12 yuan you have is not enough. Since we are running out of food, you are unwilling to use your retirement money to help us out. Now you blame me. Besides, I swore to God that I would not leave the Jia family. You are so suspicious all day long and ruin my reputation everywhere. What good will it do us?"

Qin Huairu became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice getting louder and louder: "Also, our family has a certain amount of food, and the amount of food we eat every day is planned. If it is true that we can eat our fill every day as you said, we would have eaten it all long ago. You said that I deliberately withheld your food rations, which is simply nonsense. I work hard every day, and I use the money I earn to support my family. How could I withhold your food rations?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her face turned very ugly. She didn't expect Qin Huairu to refute her so strongly, and she was a little flustered. But she still said stubbornly: "Humph, don't quibble. You did it on purpose, just to make us starve. You vicious woman, I will never let you go." After that, she began to cry loudly again.

"It's all your fault, you're right." Qin Huairu said with a look of grievance.

"Okay, put your things aside for now and let's continue." Zhang Yuan interrupted the two of them. He really couldn't stand this farce of mother and son.

"Now the evidence is conclusive, Jia Zhang, stop quibbling. Things have come to this point and there is nothing more to say." Zhang Yuan looked at Jia Zhang with a firm and stern look.

Jia Zhang widened her eyes and stared at Zhang Yuan fiercely: "Okay, Zhang Yuan, I finally figured it out, you are Qin Huairu's lover! Do you want to be with Qin Huairu forever and deliberately design to get rid of me who is in the way? I tell you, no way!" She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice sharp and piercing.

Zhang Yuan frowned, feeling helpless about Jia Zhang's slander. He shook his head, thinking that this old woman was really unreasonable to the extreme.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Huairu was so angry that she was shaking all over and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"I'm talking nonsense? Humph, you two are in cahoots with each other and want to drive me out so that you can be together legitimately. I tell you, I won't let you succeed!" Jia Zhang said gritting her teeth.

Zhang Yuan was too lazy to argue with her anymore. He turned to look at Qin Huairu and asked, "I'll ask you again, do you want to report the case?"

"Ok!"

"no!"

"You two damn bitches!"

Qin Huairu's consent, Yi Zhonghai's refusal and Jia Zhang's shouting and cursing appeared at the same time, but someone else came.
