Siheyuan: The Qing Dynasty is back

Chapter 8: Beating Jia Zhang

He Daqing rode his newly bought bicycle and wore a watch, and returned to the courtyard leisurely.

As soon as I pushed the cart into the gate, I saw the door god Yan Bugui arranging the flowers and plants.

Seeing He Daqing pushing a brand new bicycle, he ran over quickly. Touching the front of the bicycle with his hand, he said excitedly: "Great, Daqing, you bought a new bicycle right after you came back. This is a Forever brand, it costs more than 180 yuan, right?"

He Daqing smiled and said, "Teacher Yan, you know this very well. One hundred and eighty-five, and I need to register. I got this ticket from someone outside, but I never wanted to buy it. Now that I'm back, I'll buy it. It's more convenient to use."

"Yes, yes, it is more convenient to have a bicycle. But Daqing, you have done so many great things this time. I will bring a bottle of wine tonight and go to your place to celebrate for you."

"Teacher Yan, forget about the water mixed with alcohol. Come over in the evening and call Lao Liu. Then we can have a few drinks and reminisce about the past."

Yan Bugui was very happy that he didn't have to bring his own wine. But he still argued: "I'm talking to Daqing, you can't listen to other people's nonsense. Am I that kind of person? When Lao Liu comes back, I'll tell him and we'll go to your place together in the evening."

The two chatted for a while, and then He Daqing pushed the cart into the yard.

Yan Bugui looked at the brand new bicycle with great envy. He had wanted to buy one for a long time so that it would be convenient for him to go fishing.

The money was ready, but there was no ticket. He originally wanted to buy a second-hand one, so that he would be the first person in the hospital to buy a bicycle. But he looked at several and was not sure. Who knew that He Daqing bought a new one as soon as he came back. It seems that he should buy one as soon as possible.

Thinking of good things, he shook his head, hummed Peking Opera and went home, and said to his wife: "I'm going to He Daqing's house to drink tonight, you don't have to prepare my meal. It's just a good way to save money."

After saying that, he went back to tending to his flowers and plants.

As soon as He Daqing pushed the cart into the middle courtyard, he saw Qin Huairu, the "washer chicken", washing clothes by the pool again. He couldn't understand, how could the Jia family, who lived in such a difficult situation, get so many clothes to wash?

He Daqing didn't want to pay attention to Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu saw He Daqing pushing the new bicycle and caught a glimpse of the watch he was wearing. Coupled with his tall and straight figure, he looked even more charming as a mature man.

So Qin Huairu said to He Daqing: "Uncle He is back! This new bicycle looks really nice. Uncle He, you are really capable!"

He Daqing pushed the car forward and said casually, "It's just so-so. All new cars are like this."

Jia Zhang was also basking in the sun at the door. When she saw He Daqing, she smiled and said, "Daqing, now that you're back, why don't you set up a few tables and treat everyone to a good meal? I heard that you went out and made a lot of money!"

Seeing how shameless Jia Zhang was, He Daqing stopped the car and said with a smile, "Okay, Sister Jia. Isn't it easy to set up a few tables? We can set up the tables whenever you want to eat."

Jia Zhang was just scavenging, and she would catch as many rabbits as she could. But she didn't know that He Daqing really agreed. She stood up excitedly and said, "Really, Daqing? I told you that you are a generous person. I have always had high hopes for you in our compound. I can eat anytime. Today is fine."

After saying this, Jia Zhang looked at He Daqing anxiously.

"Oh, that's fine. Sister Jia, just ask who else wants to eat, and invite them all together. By the way, you will be responsible for collecting the share money, and then we will use the share money to buy food." He Daqing continued with a smile.

When Jia Zhang heard that they wanted to collect money, she felt that she was being fooled. She said angrily: "He Daqing, you should have set up a few tables to treat us to a meal when you came back. You still want money. Are you crazy about money?"

"At least I will set up a few tables after collecting the money. I heard that some time ago someone held a funeral for his son, but he didn't even hold a banquet after collecting the money. If his son knew about this, would he come back to look for her in the middle of the night?"

Jia Zhang was so angry at He Daqing's words that her face turned blue. She was also a little scared when she heard that her son was looking for her in the middle of the night.

"He Daqing, you are such a wicked person! You abandoned your son and daughter and ran away without learning anything. If I were Shazhu and Yushui, I would have let a shameless person like you in. I would have kicked you out long ago!"

"Haha... Sister Jia, look at what you said. Even if you want to be my child, I dare not acknowledge you. I'm afraid that when the time comes, Old Jia will come up and pull you to call me dad. Do you think I should agree or not?"

Jia Zhang was completely irritated by He Daqing. When it comes to talking, no one in this courtyard can match her. When has she ever been humiliated like this?

So she rushed towards He Daqing, grabbed the bicycle with one hand, and grabbed He Daqing's face with the other hand.

Who is He Daqing? How could she catch him? So he slapped Jia Zhang in the face and knocked her to the ground.

Jia Zhang screamed "Wow!" and then shouted, "Murder! Murder! He Daqing bullied us, an orphan and a widow, and wanted to kill me!"

After hearing this, He Daqing parked the car and kicked Jia Zhang in the mouth.

Jia Zhang couldn't scream anymore. Her mouth was full of blood, and several teeth were stuck in her throat. She could only roll on the ground.

He Daqing kicked her butt and thighs a few more times.

Qin Huairu, who was standing at the side, had just seen Jia Zhangshi and He Daqing talking and laughing. In the blink of an eye, the two of them started fighting. She quickly put down the clothes in her hands and ran over with her big belly.

Qin Huairu stood in front of Jia Zhang and said to He Daqing, "Uncle He, what did you do? What did my mother do to you? Look how you beat her."

He Daqing saw Qin Huairu stopping him with her big belly, so he stopped as well.

Qin Huairu turned around and pulled Jia Zhangshi, and was shocked to see that her bloody mouth was still bleeding. She quickly called out, "Mom, how are you?"

Jia Zhang was now unable to utter a word and anxiously scratched her throat with her hands.

At this time, people who were at home and not working also came.

Yan Bugui hurried over and said, "Daqing, what happened? Why did you beat Jia Zhang like this?"

He Daqing said calmly, "Teacher Yan, it's a good thing you're here. Please go to the police station and report the case for me. Tell them that someone stole my bicycle and I subdued him."

"What? You said that Jia Zhang stole your newly bought bicycle? Is there any misunderstanding here?" Yan Bugui asked in disbelief.

Qin Huairu also cried and said, "Why would my mother steal your bicycle? It was you who beat her up, and you still wrongly accused her. He Daqing, are you a human being?"

"The police will know whether it is a false accusation or not when they come. You are a family and you don't have the final say. There are her handprints on the hood of my bike. Why did you grab my bike if you didn't want to steal it?" He Daqing didn't care. Anyway, you say you are right, and I say I am right, so let's just argue!

At this time, Jia Zhang also dug out the teeth in her throat. She could speak immediately. She lay on the ground and cried, "Oh my God! This is so unfair! He Daqing, you short-lived ghost, just came back and you bullied us orphans and widows! You damned bastard, you shall die!"

"Old Jia, come up and take a look! We are being bullied! Dongxu! As soon as you left, someone started bullying our family! You have to avenge us!"

Jia Zhang was rolling on the ground, screaming and shouting. People nearby were watching the excitement. Some people saw that Jia Zhang's mouth was full of blood and felt a little sympathetic.

He Daqing said to Yan Bugui: "This is how you act as a third uncle. There are robberies in the yard and you are promoting superstition. Don't you report it to the police and the street office? Old Yan, if you don't go, I will go by myself. If the street office criticizes you, I will not care."

As he said this, He Daqing was about to push the cart away.

Yan Bugui hurriedly pulled him back and said, "Daqing, don't worry. You just came back and you don't know that our hospital usually handles things on its own. There's no need to trouble the Street Office and the Public Security Bureau."

"Handle it yourself. Can you handle Jia Zhang's bicycle robbery? Can you handle her promotion of superstition?"

Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed by He Daqing's question. How should he answer? But this matter was decided by Yi Zhonghai. Now Yi Zhonghai is lying in the hospital, and he doesn't know what to do?

So he said, "How about this, Daqing, don't report it to the police yet. Let's have a meeting tonight to discuss it. What do you think?"

He Daqing didn't really want to report to the police, he just wanted to find a reason to beat Jia Zhangshi, so he agreed.

Seeing that He Daqing agreed, Yan Bugui was very happy. Let Liu Haizhong handle this matter in the evening.

Then he said to Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, "Jia Zhang, go back and clean up first. We will have a meeting tonight to deal with this matter. Everyone is at work now, so we will talk about it after everyone returns."

How could Jia Zhang be willing to do that? She had several teeth knocked out. "No, if He Daqing doesn't pay me today, I'm lying here. He beat me up and he's right. I'll have the police arrest him and put him in jail."

Yan Bugui was also annoyed. Just when he said he had persuaded He Daqing, Jia Zhang was about to cause trouble again.

So he continued to persuade her earnestly, "Ms. Jia Zhang, he said that you stole his bicycle and promoted superstition. If you report it to the police, you won't be in the right. It's not certain who will go to jail."

Jia Zhang hurriedly said, "He's talking nonsense. I didn't steal his bicycle at all. He is just trying to frame me with a rotten heart!"

Yan Bugui continued to persuade him: "You said no, but he said you robbed him. There are your fingerprints on the car. Who do you think the police will believe? Qin Huairu is your family and cannot testify."

"Besides, even if we don't talk about the bicycle robbery, everyone in the compound saw you spreading superstition. When the neighborhood office finds out, they will at least send you back to the countryside."

Hearing that she would be sent back to the countryside, Jia Zhang was also scared. People would starve to death in the countryside now.

In this way, the farce ended under Yan Bugui's persuasion. But everyone knew that the evening's general meeting would definitely be lively. Everyone was looking forward to watching the show in the evening.
