Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

Qin Huairu never dreamed that her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, who was usually kind to her, would pounce on her like a mad dog. You know, she is pregnant now! The sudden pressure made her, who was already inconvenient to move, feel a sharp pain. Out of instinct, Qin Huairu struggled with all her might.

At this time, Jia Zhang was already furious and had lost her mind. She had no time to care who the person under her was. As long as she felt that she had caught someone, she would stretch out her hands like the Nine Yin White Bone Claws without hesitation and scratch the person under her fiercely.

"Ah!..." Accompanied by a series of extremely shrill screams, everyone realized that the one who made such a tragic scream was Qin Huairu.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai, an old man standing nearby, had a look of pity in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the old woman standing in the crowd. He took a half step forward, but finally retreated.

"I told you to be a slut, I told you to be a slut! My son just left not long ago, and you can't wait to find a wild man? You shameless woman, do you still have any shame?"

Jia Zhang cursed at the top of her lungs while continuing to attack Qin Huairu crazily. Only then did she gradually come to her senses and realize that the person begging and being tortured was her own daughter-in-law.

Everyone gathered around, but no one dared to step forward to help. This was understandable, after all, everyone present knew that Jia Zhang was a shrewd, arrogant, and unreasonable person. If they rashly helped, not only would it be difficult to accomplish anything, but it would also be very likely to backfire and cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that everyone was standing by and watching, Yi Zhonghai felt anxious like an ant on a hot pot. He scanned the crowd eagerly, searching for a long time, but still couldn't find Sha Zhu among them. He was so anxious that he could only stamp his feet anxiously.

He knew very well that if Qin Huairu was allowed to continue to bear the bullying of her mother-in-law Jia Zhang and no one stopped her, it would probably lead to a disaster, or even death. By then, the matter would be impossible to cover up, and the consequences would be disastrous.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, if there is anything we can discuss and solve it calmly!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at Ye Wenwu's sarcastic face. Facing the other party's undisguised ridicule and provocation, he had to grit his teeth and stand up. Then, he pulled Jia Zhang off Qin Huairu's back.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai did not dare to look back at his wife's face. All he could do was to tighten his face, look solemnly and sternly at Jia Zhang, who had been dragged up by him, and scolded her harshly:

"Didn't you see that Qin Huairu was pregnant? If you rushed at her recklessly, if something unexpected happened, wouldn't you end up with one dead and two lives?"

Jia Zhang never dreamed that Yi Zhonghai, a hypocritical guy, not only had an affair with her daughter-in-law, but also dared to boss her around! The raging anger that had already been vented on her daughter-in-law was instantly ignited again, and the fire became more fierce.

"Humph, you shameless old fellow! It's fine that you hooked up with my daughter-in-law and took advantage of her, but now you dare to scold me? Do you really think that I, Jia Zhang, am weak and can be bullied?"

Jia Zhang was furious and roared at the top of her lungs, then pounced towards Yi Zhonghai like a wild beast out of control.

In a flash, Yi Zhonghai reacted quickly, using his slender and powerful arms to block Jia Zhang's attack in time and pressed against her forehead. However, facing this scene, Yi Zhonghai felt a splitting headache.

Although the appearance of Jia Zhang temporarily resolved the awkwardness between him and Qin Huairu, her current arrogant and unreasonable entanglement might cause the situation to become deadlocked again.

Moreover, he knew very well that Jia Zhang was not a good person. If he wanted to calm her anger, simply obeying her might not be the solution and might even add fuel to the fire.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai suppressed his irritability, tried to lower his posture and persuaded: "Jia Zhang, calm down first..."

Seeing that it was difficult for her to gain any material benefit from Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang tactfully walked down the ladder Yi Zhonghai gave her, but she still stared at Yi Zhonghai like a hungry wolf, as if she was worried that he would suddenly slip away.

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly helplessly, thinking secretly in his heart: If Jia Zhang, the mother-in-law, no longer cares about any responsibility for what happened tonight, then no matter how eloquent Ye Wenwu is and how many excuses he makes, it will be in vain.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you must not be misled and used as a tool by people with ulterior motives! Some people are just hoping that our two families will have a big fight!" Yi Zhonghai advised earnestly, and after he finished speaking, he glanced meaningfully in the direction where Ye Wenwu was.

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes first glanced coldly at Ye Wenwu, then turned her gaze to Yi Zhonghai and her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu who was lying on the ground in front of her, calculating rapidly in her mind.

She was a shrewd person, so she naturally understood the deep meaning behind Yi Zhonghai's words. So, she simply spread her hands and responded openly:

"Want to resolve this matter? That's too easy. As long as you, Yi Zhonghai, take out 100 yuan as compensation, then I can pretend that nothing happened." Jia Zhang said arrogantly. She stared at Yi Zhonghai with greedy and cunning eyes, as if she was sure that the other party would definitely succumb to her unreasonable demands.

However, as soon as Jia Zhang's naked blackmailing speech came out, it immediately caused a commotion and whispers among the people around. Someone couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "This Jia Zhang is really greedy, she dared to ask for 100 yuan! Does she really think Qin Huairu is made of gold?" Another person echoed: "In my opinion, there must be something fishy here. Maybe Jia Zhang has long known that there is a secret between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, so she took the opportunity to ask for a high price." Some people even directly asserted: "I think this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. With the way the eldest master behaves in the world, he will never easily agree to such a ridiculous condition."

At this time, Ye Wenwu, who was standing at the edge of the crowd and watching this farce coldly, couldn't help laughing out loud. He secretly sighed in his heart: "I've never seen such a stupid teammate in my life! I've seen stupid teammates before, but I've never seen someone as stupid as Jia Zhang. She had already successfully extorted a sum of money, but she had to get herself into trouble again. Did she think Yi Zhonghai would be so stupid as to let her do whatever she wanted?"

Yi Zhonghai listened to the rumors around him, and his face suddenly became gloomy. In fact, it was not difficult for him to come up with the 100 yuan. He was an eighth-level fitter in the past, and received a generous salary of 99 yuan per month. It's a pity that nowadays, his situation has changed a lot... But even so, facing the arrogant and domineering provocation of Jia Zhang, how could he swallow this breath? But the foundation is still there.
