Siheyuan, my new life

Qin Huairu stared at the closed door in front of her in a daze. In the past, she would go to borrow meat under the excuse that her child was greedy, and she was able to get it every time. But today, this reason that always worked didn't work. This was the first time that Yi Zhonghai refused so straightforwardly, especially the last sentence "As the old saying goes, spoiling a child is like killing him. If a child is disobedient, a good beating will make him behave himself." Qin Huairu's heart was filled with shock. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai discovered something?

At this time, some residents of the Central Courtyard had already seen the scene at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house. Sha Zhu, who lived opposite, was leading his sister Yu Shui to look at the place curiously.

Qin Huairu quickly turned around and walked back home with his head down. As soon as he entered the house, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Why didn't the dead family give him roast duck?"

When Banggeng heard that there was no roast duck to eat, he immediately grinned and rolled over while crying: "I want to eat roast duck, I want to eat roast duck."

Jia Dongxu shouted in a low voice: "Shut up, Banggeng. If you dare to cry again, I will beat you up."

Hearing his father's angry shout, Banggeng immediately shut his mouth and climbed up obediently.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu with a gloomy face and asked: "What's going on? What did Yi Zhonghai say?"

Qin Huairu put the bowl of soup on the table, exhaled a long breath and said: "Dongxu, I'm afraid the old man is really angry with you this time. In the past, as long as we said that we wanted to eat meat, the old man would happily give it to us, but today he said that the roast duck was bought for the old lady in the backyard, and he also said that there is an old saying that spoiling a child is like killing him, and if the child is disobedient, he will be obedient if he is beaten severely."

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, was immediately displeased and started to curse: "How could that old woman in the backyard eat such a big roast duck and not be afraid of dying of bloating? How should we discipline the children of the Jia family? What does it have to do with him, a dead family?"

Qin Huairu quickly spoke up to stop them: "Mom, keep your voice down. Shazhu is playing with his sister Yu Shui at the door. If he hears, he will go crazy again. Who can stop him?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately shut her mouth. Last November, she said bad things about the deaf old lady behind her back and was heard by the rascal Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu almost broke Jia Zhang's mouth on the spot. Even Jia Dongxu who tried to stop him was knocked down by the scoundrel Sha Zhu.

If Jia Zhang had conflicts with other residents in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai would more or less side with the Jia family, but because Jia Zhang was beaten up by Sha Zhu for scolding the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai simply did not show up. Jia Zhang relied on Yi Zhonghai's protection to stir up trouble in the courtyard all day long, and was so arrogant that she dared to scold the deaf old lady. Even if Sha Zhu did not do it, He Daqing would have to punish her severely when he returned.

And early the next morning, the deaf old lady came to the door of the Jia family angrily with a cane, and without saying a word, she swung the cane to smash all the glass of the doors and windows of the Jia family.

Jia Zhang, who was originally planning to go out and make a scene with the deaf old lady, just stuck her head out and saw He Daqing, with a gloomy face, standing behind the old lady with his arms folded, while Sha Zhu was excitedly rolling up his sleeves. It was obvious that if Jia Zhang dared to go out and make a scene, these father and son would not indulge her.

Jia Zhang had just been severely beaten up by Sha Zhu yesterday evening. Now seeing that even He Daqing had shown up, she was so scared that she scurried into the inner room and dared not even show her face.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to stand in front of the deaf old lady with tears in her eyes and beg for mercy, but the deaf old lady ignored her and just smashed all the glass and yelled: "Jia Zhang, no one in this courtyard dares to curse me behind my back. Today I am just teaching you a small lesson. If I hear you dare to curse me behind my back again, I will drive you out of this courtyard." After that, the deaf old lady was supported by Sha Zhu and returned to the backyard. The neighbors who heard the news and came to watch the excitement also pointed at the Jia family, and all of them had a gloating expression on their faces. From this, we can also know how unpopular Jia Zhang was in this courtyard.

Qin Huairu cursed her mother-in-law in her heart for her constant chatter, but now she could only silently pick up the broom and clean up the broken glass flying everywhere. If she didn't clean it up quickly, what if her child got stabbed?

Jia Zhang had been hiding in the inner room, not daring to show up, until Qin Huairu was cleaning up the broken glass in the room, she peeked out, and saw that there was no one outside, Jia Zhang suddenly became alert, and just as she was about to start cursing, Qin Huairu said coldly: "Today is Sunday, He Daqing is at home, if he hears, do you think he will beat you up again?"

Jia Zhang suddenly felt as if her throat was strangled. She dared not say a word and obediently slipped back into the inner room, continuing to act like a coward.

How could Jia Zhang forget how powerful He Daqing was? Two years ago, He Yushui was sitting at the door eating a big red apple. Banggeng, who was only four years old, saw it and immediately cried for the apple. Jia Zhang licked her old face and went to He Yushui to ask for it, but how could He Yushui give her such a delicious big apple?

This was yesterday when He Daqing went out to prepare a banquet for someone, and the host gave her two extra apples to bring to the children. Last night, He Yushui even held them in her arms until she slept, and today she deliberately sat at the door to eat the apples, intending to show off.

How could Jia Zhang, who had the support of Yi Zhonghai, give up? This guy actually stepped forward and snatched the apple from He Yushui's hand, and pushed He Yushui, who was trying to snatch it, to the ground.

He Yushui saw her beloved apple being snatched away by Jia Zhangshi and pushed down, and she immediately burst into tears. He Daqing, who was tinkering with seasonings at home, heard his daughter crying, immediately dropped what he was doing and ran out. He saw his precious daughter crying sadly, and then saw the dirt on the child's body. He Daqing kicked Jia Zhangshi, who was walking home happily with the apple, down without saying a word, and then beat her up.

When the neighbors who came after hearing the noise learned the cause of the incident from the still sobbing He Yushui, they all loudly reprimanded Jia Zhang, and no one stepped forward to separate the fight.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai waited until He Daqing had vented his anger before he went up to grab him, loudly reprimanded Jia Zhang's behavior, and punished her to clean the courtyard for a month.

Not only was Jia Zhang beaten, she was also punished to clean the house. She could only crawl back home and lie on the kang groaning. From then on, she would stay away from He Daqing whenever she saw him. He Daqing didn't care whether she was a woman or not, and he really beat her up.

This was also the first time that Qin Huairu saw Jia Zhang being beaten after she married into the Jia family.
