Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

Jia Zhang was left alone on the ground groaning. She was really scared, afraid that she would be beaten again, so she didn't dare to make any noise while lying on the ground. The others heard her groaning and ignored her. They thought that as long as she wasn't beaten to death, it was fine. Jia Zhang was half asleep and half awake until dawn. When she saw the light, she climbed up with the help of the bed, went to the toilet, and then lay on the railing, shouting desperately: "Help, someone is being beaten to death, help, help."

The miserable screams spread throughout the cell. Several people in the cell were awakened and gathered around the railings to watch. The people in Jia Zhang's cell were also awakened. The eldest sister had a gloomy face and winked at the others. At this time, the supervisor came over and knocked on the railings: "Stop screaming, what's the matter?"

"Comrade, comrade, look, I'm almost beaten to death." The supervisor took a closer look and saw that Jia Zhang's head was bruised and swollen, and he couldn't tell what was wrong with her body. He asked directly: "Wang Guifen, what happened? Why is the prisoner like this?"

"I don't know. Maybe he was not used to sleeping in the middle of the night and turned over and fell down."

"Stop talking nonsense. How could you fall down like this?"

"Boss, I don't know. I sleep very deeply at night, so I don't know."

The supervisor couldn't get anything out of him, so he asked everyone else. It turned out that every one of them said the same thing: I don't know, I'm not sure, and they fell asleep at night.

The supervisor had no choice but to stare at the eldest sister Wang Guifen and said, "You, come out. I am in charge of this cell. I know you are their eldest sister. Since you don't recognize me, then it's your problem. Put me in solitary confinement for three hours."

When the elder sister heard that she was being put in solitary confinement, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes. She also knew that it was useless to say anything. She glanced at the people below, stood up and walked out of the cell. The supervisor took the elder sister to the solitary confinement room and said to the people in the cell: "Behave yourself. This is the fate of those who dare to make trouble again."

Dahua and the remaining few people watched their eldest sister being taken away by the supervisor, staring at Jia Zhang with vicious eyes. Jia Zhang was unaware of this and looked at them smugly, thinking that complaining was still useful. She had not slept well last night and had to continue sleeping today.

Dahua gathered a few people together and started whispering to them, looking up at Jia Zhang from time to time. After they finished discussing, they went back to their beds to rest.

But after a while, Jia Zhang began to snore. Da Hua sat up and waved her hand. Then several people surrounded her, covered her mouth and pressed her hands and feet. It was a clear arrangement, but this time it was different. They specifically pinched the soft parts of her body. Jia Zhang was in so much pain that her eyes popped out. After they were beaten up, Da Hua leaned close to Jia Zhang's ear and said, "You can continue to sue. This is a lesson. Let's see if you are tougher with your mouth or my hands."

After the few people were released, they went back to their beds and lay down. Only then did Jia Zhang calm down. After taking out the rag or socks in her mouth, she opened her mouth and howled. Dahua heard it and knocked on the bed. Jia Zhang felt the hairs on her body stand up. She covered her mouth with her hands and hummed for a long time. She couldn't help but shed tears. At this time, Jia Zhang hated Jiang Feng in her heart, but she didn't dare to make a loud noise. She could only curse in her heart to vent her pain.

Three hours was neither long nor short. After a while, the eldest sister Wang Guifen came back. She looked quite depressed. However, when she entered the cell, several people including Dahua surrounded her and told her what they had just done. The eldest sister nodded and was surrounded by everyone and sat down on her bed. She said to Dahua, "Since she doesn't know the rules, you should teach her a lesson. She has grown so fat. You should help her lose some weight. She might even thank you."

Dahua and others nodded repeatedly, turned around and came to Jia Zhang's bed. Dahua stepped forward and kicked twice, listening: "Now I will tell you the rules here. You have to clean the toilet every day, offer food to big sister and us, and you can only eat after we have finished eating. You have to clean all the hygiene in the cell, otherwise you will know what the consequences will be." After that, Dahua pinched her fingers, and only heard a few "pa pa pa" sounds.

At this time, a man stepped forward and kicked it: "Don't play dead, did you hear what Sister Dahua said? Hurry up and clean up."

Jia Zhang now understood that not everyone in every place was afraid of her throwing a tantrum. Once she entered a place like this, she had to listen to the eldest sister inside, otherwise there would be a lot of trouble waiting for her. She struggled to stand up, picked up a broom and started cleaning.

From then on, there were no more complaints in this cell. Jia Zhang only had one steamed bun every day, and could only drink water when she was hungry. It was normal for her to be kicked if she was disliked. When the eldest sister was in a good mood, she would beat her to cheer her up, and when she was in a bad mood, she would beat her to vent her anger. During the fifteen days of detention, Jia Zhang counted them on her fingers every day.

At this time, Jiang Feng had nothing to do every day. He had already thought about preparing for his old age. He clocked in every day.

Fishing, eating and sleeping, life is so comfortable, but he just sneezes a few times every now and then during the day. Jiang Feng doesn't feel like he's going to catch a cold.

The biggest change has come from the Jia family. When Jia Zhang is not at home, Qin Huairu really feels that this is city life. Every day, she takes care of the children, cooks, washes clothes, and cleans. She can sit in the yard and chat with the aunts and grandmas about family matters. If she is lucky, she can even get some melon seeds and peanuts.

Without Jia Zhang's presence, Bang Geng has also gotten much better. After being beaten three times in three days by Jia Dongxu, he no longer cries at mealtimes. When he is hungry, he enjoys the steamed bread, and he doesn't cry when he smells the food from other people's homes. The Jia family has suddenly become a model family in the courtyard, and the young couple's life has become harmonious. Jia Dongxu is now full of energy at work every day, and he is about to take the level three exam, so he has a better chance of passing it.

Ever since Jia Zhang was arrested, the whole courtyard has been in harmony. Any minor friction could be handled by any of the elders. No one made a fuss or acted unreasonably. The elders at this time were all fair and just, and everyone in the courtyard felt that this was the normal life in the courtyard.

Until one day, when Jia Dongxu was going to work in the morning, he heard Qin Huairu say: "Mom is coming out today, do you want to pick her up or should I?" Jia Dongxu felt that happy days were so short, and thought for a while: "You go to pick her up, give me some meat coupons, I will buy some meat, and I will bring it back at noon, you can cook something delicious for Mom."

Qin Huairu went into the inner room, found two meat tickets, and handed them to Jia Dongxu: "Bang Geng has also said that he wants to eat meat for several days. You might as well buy more and cook it together."

"Well, I'm leaving. You should go earlier, otherwise mom will blame you again." After saying that, Jia Dongxu went out and ran into Yi Zhonghai who was also going to work: "Master, let's go together."

"Dongxu, today is the day your mother comes out."

"Yes, I told Huairu to pick her up. She will be back at noon, so go buy some meat and send it back so that she can eat well when she gets home."

"Well, she is your mother after all. You still have to be filial to her. Have you told me to send her back to the countryside?"

"I have said that, but she still doesn't agree. I'll discuss it with her when I get back. Then, Master, you can come over and help me persuade her."

"Let's wait and see what she means."

The two of them chatted until they arrived at the factory gate. After entering the workshop, they began to prepare for their work for the day.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Huairu packed two steamed buns and corn porridge in a lunch box, and added some pickles. She told Banggeng not to run out, and wait for grandma to come back so that she could cook meat for lunch. Banggeng was also very happy that he could eat meat again. Qin Huairu went out and ran into the third aunt sitting at the door washing clothes: "Huairu, where are you going?"

"I'm going to pick up my mother-in-law. She's coming out today."

In the past ten days, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu never mentioned Jia Zhang in the yard. No one knew that Jia Zhang would come back today. After Qin Huairu finished speaking, he went out. When the third aunt heard this, as soon as Qin Huairu left, she immediately ran to the middle yard and the back yard to announce that Jia Zhang was coming back.

Qin Huairu was reluctant to spend the bus fare, so she walked all the way to the detention center. After walking for more than an hour, she ran into an old woman who was covered in dirt. Qin Huairu thought she was begging for food, so she deliberately avoided her and walked in another direction. But when the old woman saw her, she immediately came to life and ran straight towards her. Qin Huairu was scared and thought, "Did the lunch box in my hand irritate her? She is so pitiful. I don't know how long she hasn't eaten. But this meal is for my mother-in-law, I can't let her snatch it away."

Qin Huairu ran away. After running for a few minutes, he looked back and saw that the old woman was still chasing him breathlessly. She seemed to be about to say something. Qin Huairu saw that she could not catch up with him anymore, so he stopped. At this time, he vaguely heard someone shouting, "Huairu, Huairu." He followed the voice and saw that it came from behind, but there was only an old woman behind him. In confusion, Qin Huairu turned around and walked back. The closer he got, the louder the voice became. Qin Huairu carefully distinguished it and said, "Mom, why are you like this?"

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu walking back, she stopped and kept calling out, "Huairu, Huairu." But her voice became smaller and smaller.

At this time, Jia Zhang had already relaxed. She knew that Qin Huairu was coming towards her again, so she sat down on the ground without saying anything. She just waited. When Qin Huairu ran over and saw Jia Zhang sitting on the ground, she grabbed Jia Zhang and asked, "Mom, mom, are you okay?"
