Siheyuan: Why are you all here to see me?

Jia Zhang put her hands on her hips and said, "Okay, so the family was divided. This division is equivalent to breaking off the relationship. Now that life is difficult, I think of my daughter-in-law. What should I have done in the beginning? Now that I have encountered problems, I think of my son and daughter-in-law. I, Jia Zhang, have lived to such an old age and have lived in the countryside. I have seen the division of the family, but I have never seen shameless people like you.

Now you still have the nerve to lick the face of others and come to recognize your relatives. Your skin is thicker than the wall of Beijing. If I were you, I would find a piece of tofu and kill myself to avoid coming out to embarrass myself. You have lived in vain to such an old age. I think you are all dead and still found your way to Siheyuan. Do you want the people in Siheyuan to set up two tables for you and treat you to some white flour buns? Bah, you shameless old things, you still want to eat your daughter-in-law's food for free, you have such a black heart, bah, get out of our Siheyuan"

Well, Jia Zhang kept speaking without stopping, without stuttering, and without even drafting. In other words, Li Gang really admired Jia Zhang. It seemed that Jia Zhang was not an easy person to deal with in the countryside. However, he still didn't understand why Jia Zhang would speak for him. He couldn't figure it out.

Old Man Jiang's face turned red after hearing what Jia Zhang said. He wanted to leave right away to avoid being humiliated by this old woman.

He thought so, but Mrs. Jiang didn't think so. She felt that Jia Zhang was meddling in other people's business. We are looking for my son and daughter-in-law, what does it have to do with you?

Old Wife Jiang stepped forward and pointed at Jia Zhang. "Where did you come from, old hag? What business do you have here? Why do you need to sit here and worry about nothing? Which widow didn't tie her belt tightly, and you, a fat woman, are exposed? I can tell from your fat body that you are the type who will kill a man. You must have eaten everything in the house and starved your man to death. Now you come to me to show off your power. If this happened in the village, I will beat you to death."

This old lady Jiang was not a good person either. She started to criticize Jia Zhang and even touched on Jia Zhang's sore spot. Yes, Jia Zhang was really a widow and her husband was really dead. If you didn't know what old lady Jiang said, you would really think that it was Jia Zhang who killed her husband.

Old Lady Jiang was hitting on Jia Zhang's sore spot. What could Jia Zhang do?

"You old woman from the countryside, you are running wild in our yard, I will tear your mouth to pieces."

After saying that, he came forward with his teeth bared and claws to scratch Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang was not a pushover either, and she faced the enemy head-on. Before everyone could react, the two of them had already started fighting.

Li Gang was the first to react. He wanted to step forward to persuade her, but he stopped immediately and walked in front of Qin Huairu. He muttered a few words. Qin Huairu's eyes lit up and she understood immediately.

So he stepped forward and said, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, why are you hitting me? I'm pregnant, come and help me, they even dare to hit a pregnant woman, come and help me?"

Qin Huairu joined in and then sat down on the ground in a pretentious manner. When the neighbors heard this, they were shocked. This girl from the countryside was really bullying.

Old man Zhang in the front yard has been watching Li Gang's every move since Li Gang came over. Just now, when Li Gang ran to Qin Huairu and whispered, he saw it clearly. Adding to Qin Huairu's performance at this moment, how could he not know Li Gang's purpose?

He turned around and said a few words to his daughter-in-law Ma Cuihua. Ma Cuihua threw down her rolling pin and rushed towards Mrs. Jiang excitedly, shouting

"Okay, you bully our courtyard and no one is there, right? Ladies in the courtyard, the masters can't take action, we can't just stand by and watch them bully the people in our courtyard, come with me and beat them to death"

After she finished speaking, someone arrived, grabbed Old Lady Jiang's hair, and pulled her aside. As soon as she entered the scene, Jia Zhang immediately gained the upper hand and slapped Old Lady Jiang twice. Old Lady Jiang saw that the other party had more people, so she quickly called for help from the eldest son's wife.

The eldest daughter-in-law saw her mother-in-law calling for her help, so she didn't dare to refuse, so she went up to try to stop the fight.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu immediately shouted, "You are bullying me! You are bullying us because there is no one in our courtyard."

The young girls, young wives, and old ladies in the courtyard, after hearing Qin Huairu's shouting, and seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law together, they no longer showed any reserve.

The third aunt even shouted, "Okay, you are bullying us because there is no one in the yard, right? Let's go together and let them know how powerful we are."

With the three aunts taking the lead, all the old ladies and daughters-in-law came forward to help. Now, Mrs. Jiang and the eldest daughter-in-law couldn't bear it any longer. The women in the courtyard were really cruel. Two of them grabbed one of their arms, making it impossible for them to move. Then another one slapped them in the face.

The eldest brother of the Jiang family, seeing his wife being beaten, also rushed forward to separate the two. It would have been fine if he hadn't moved, but once he moved, things would have been different.

Sha Zhu spoke first, "Okay, you really think that people in our courtyard are easy to bully, and you dare to do it?" He took a step forward and kicked Jiang Tao, knocking him to the ground.

When the young men in the yard saw Sha Zhu starting to fight, they all stepped forward and started beating and kicking him.

When Old Man Jiang saw his wife, son, and daughter-in-law being beaten, he knew that he had been beaten by an unreasonable person. What else could he do? He quickly stepped forward to apologize, saying that his wife had said something wrong, and asked everyone to help stop beating her.

Li Gang saw that the fight was almost over, so he stepped forward and asked everyone to stop.

Jia Zhang was like a victorious hen. Although her hair was a little messy and she was hit on the face a few times, she did not suffer any loss. She just rode on Old Lady Jiang and beat her up, venting all the anger she had endured in the factory these days. She felt so relieved at the moment.

Li Gang thought, although he beat someone, this matter cannot be solved by beating someone.

Li Gang: "Teacher Yan, how much is the monthly food ration for this old man?"

Yan Fugui didn't understand what Li Gang meant by this question, but he still answered, "Now the food ration has been reduced by 25%, and an old man can only eat about kilograms a month."

Li Gang nodded and said, "Then calculate how many kilograms of food an old man needs in a year."

Yan Fugui calculated, "About 300 kilograms a year." In fact, Li Gang himself knew such a simple arithmetic problem as how much grain a year is. If Li Gang couldn't calculate it, then he would not be the factory director.

Li Gang asked Yan Fugui to calculate, that was for the people in the hospital to hear.

Li Gang "Uncle Jiang, please don't say that my second sister's family is immoral and unfilial. You two old people have about 600 kilograms of food rations a year. You have three sons, and each son has 200 kilograms. Now, on behalf of my second sister's family, I will give you 200 kilograms of corn flour as retirement food. It is enough for you two old people to eat for a year and you will not starve to death. This can be regarded as my second sister's family fulfilling their filial piety. As for if there is not enough food or it is gone, it has nothing to do with my second sister's family. If you come to make trouble again, we will meet at the street and let the street judge it. Then we will go to your commune and ask for justice as well."

When everyone heard this, they realized that Li Gang wanted to illegally provide food for the second sister's family. These two were really kind and fair, and they couldn't find fault with them. They all gave Li Gang a thumbs up.

"Jingru, go and talk to Shazhu, the Red Army brother, and get 200 kilograms of corn flour from the yard."

Not long after, Sha Zhu and Yang Hongjun came out carrying a bag of corn flour each and put it on the ground.

Li Gang: "Uncle Jiang, can you leave now?"

Old man Jiang looked at Li Gang with mixed feelings. The fourth son of the Li family was very careful in his work. He beat you and gave you food, but you couldn't say it was wrong. He also said that this was the retirement food given by the second son, and he had done his best. If he went to find the second son again and really alarmed the commune, he would be in big trouble. He had no choice but to listen to Li Gang and take the food and leave first.

Old Man Jiang: "Young man from the Li family, you are kind and righteous. I will take the food. I will not look for the second brother's family again. Don't worry, I, Old Man Jiang, am also a shameless person. Big brother and third brother, carry the food and let's go."

Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something, but she was beaten. Mr. Jiang glared at her and said, "What do you want to do? Don't you think it's shameful? Go away."

The Jiang family left. Although they were beaten, they still had 200 kilograms of corn flour, which was life-saving food. At least they would not starve to death before the New Year.

Old man Jiang was overthinking. He had so little food. After he went back home, his eldest daughter-in-law sent 10 kilograms to her parents' home today, and his youngest daughter-in-law sent another 10 kilograms to her parents' home tomorrow. In addition, there were many people in his family, so within two months, the food would run out. But he no longer had the face to go to the city to look for his second son.

The young man from the Li family gave 200 kilograms. No matter how the eldest and youngest daughters-in-law persuaded him, Old Man Jiang refused to go. Fortunately, the commune distributed relief food for the winter. This is all later. Li Gang didn't know either.

The Jiang family left, but the work in the courtyard was not over yet. Today, the people in the courtyard helped Li Gang, so Li Gang had to thank them. However, no matter how much he thanked them, it would not be as real as the food.

After everyone dispersed, Li Gang asked Qin Jingru to send 5 catties of corn flour to each family tomorrow to express his gratitude. In addition to the catties of corn flour, he also gave each of the Jia, Zhang, Yan, and Yang families two more cans of canned food, one for fish and one for pork.

These few families are the main ones helping out today, especially Jia Zhang. This old woman is extremely combative today, and she was the first to take action. Should I not let anyone watch her tomorrow?

Forget it, I won’t let anyone watch me tomorrow, just to repay Jia Zhang’s favor!

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang was very proud. As soon as she entered the house, she drank a lot of cold water, and then said, "Humph, if Xiao Si hadn't spoken, I would have beaten this old thing to death today. She dared to challenge me, humph."

Qin Huairu immediately complimented Jia Zhangshi, who was beaming with joy. However, Qin Huairu, like Li Gang, was puzzled as to why Jia Zhangshi was standing out today.
