Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

Seeing that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were arguing and about to fight again, Liu Haizhong shouted, "Stop arguing and call a meeting of the whole hospital immediately."

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then she yelled, "Liu Haizhong, who do you think you are? Can you hold a meeting just because you want to? This is my family's affair, I can handle it myself."

The reason why Jia Zhang was unwilling to hold a meeting of the entire courtyard was because she was afraid.

She found that the tricks she had used to threaten Qin Huairu were no longer effective. Now Qin Huairu's eyes were full of resentment and determination. She was afraid that Qin Huairu would really drive her back to the countryside through a whole hospital meeting.

Jia Zhang was not a fool. She knew clearly that her criticisms and demands on Qin Huairu were all unreasonable.

Jia Zhang was a person who came from the old society. Her former mother-in-law treated her the same way she treated Qin Huairu, and she became a mother-in-law step by step in this way.

At first, her mother-in-law was the ancestor of the family, ordering her to do this and that and treating her like a cow or a horse. Now that she has become a mother-in-law, she also wants to treat Qin Huairu like her mother-in-law used to treat her.

Unfortunately, it is a new society now, and the old social patriarchal system is no longer applicable. But she is unwilling to accept this. As a daughter-in-law, she will be bullied in every way. Why can't she, as a mother-in-law, act as domineeringly as her mother-in-law did in the past?

It was precisely because of this unwillingness that Jia Zhang introduced Jia Dongxu to a rural wife, because she felt that rural wives were uneducated and uninformed, and could be morally blackmailed by the old ways of the old society.

Jia Zhang's initial plan was successful. When Qin Huairu had just married into the Jia family, Jia Zhang joined forces with Jia Dongxu to suppress Qin Huairu to the utmost and trained Qin Huairu into a servant girl, who had to do laundry, cook, serve tea and water, and wait on them all day long.

If she was slightly dissatisfied, she would beat or scold Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu would not even dare to fart.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long as he lost his son in an accident.

In order to maintain the family income, she had to let Qin Huairu take over Jia Dongxu's job and work in the factory.

After Qin Huairu entered the factory, she not only gained more knowledge, but more importantly, she had money in her hands. Gradually, she developed her own opinions and was no longer obedient to her like before.

Before she was sent to the detention center, although Qin Huairu had some complaints about her, she would never dare to hit her.

Jia Zhang didn't know what had happened to her during the seven days she was in the detention center. Qin Huairu's attitude towards her had changed drastically. Not only did she dare to fight with her, she even dared to beat her to death. This made her deeply panicked.

She knew clearly that it was not Qin Huairu who could not leave the Jia family, but the Jia family who could not leave Qin Huairu. Without Qin Huairu, she, who had lived a life of luxury, would have to do the laundry, cook, and serve Bang Geng.

Without Qin Huairu, the Jia family would have no source of income and could only live off their savings and suffer setbacks.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know what the considerations were, so he echoed Jia Zhang and said:

"Old Liu, since Jia Zhang is unwilling to hold a meeting of the entire hospital, then let's not hold it. After all, this is their private matter. Let them solve it themselves, okay?"

Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and asked, "Solve it by themselves. Can they solve it by themselves? They just had a fight yesterday and they are fighting again tonight. Do you want to see them fighting again tomorrow?"

Qin Huairu said firmly: "I also request to open the whole courtyard."

Seeing that Qin Huairu had agreed, Yi Zhonghai didn't know what to say, so he said helplessly, "Then open it!"

Jia Zhang's face was full of anger and she said, "You said you can open it? I said you can't open it."

"You don't have to come if you don't want to." Liu Haizhong said coldly, then turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, notify each other and hold a meeting of the entire hospital immediately."

Soon, the central courtyard was surrounded by people. Everyone was holding benches and holding melon seeds, looking like they were watching a good show.

Although Jia Zhang said that she didn't want to come, she finally came because she knew that she would suffer more if she didn't come.

"Cough cough!"

Yi Zhonghai cleared his throat and prepared to make an impassioned opening speech.

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong interrupted and said, "Everyone's time is precious, so don't waste your time. Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, what's the matter with you fighting every day? Tell us, Qin Huairu, you go first."

Yi Zhonghai was naturally unhappy when his words were interrupted, and his old face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

Jia Zhang immediately refused to listen, "Why let this bitch speak first? I want to speak first."

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his hands and said, "Old Liu, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Let Jia Zhang speak first!"

Liu Haizhong's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "Then let Jia Zhang speak first!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang started to curse, "I've been taking care of Bang Geng all day, and when I got home I asked that bitch Qin Huairu to cook me a bowl of noodles, but she refused..."

Liu Haizhong said angrily: "So you hit her?"

Jia Zhang frowned and said angrily: "Shouldn't such a disobedient and unfilial person be beaten?"

Qin Huairu angrily said, "Jia Zhang, keep your mouth shut. I've already checked. A widow has no obligation to support her parents-in-law. I served you out of kindness, and I'm not serving you now."

"Besides, you're tired taking care of Bang Geng, so wouldn't I be tired too, since I have to go to work and take care of Xiao Dang and Huaihua?"

"Ask around here and find a mother-in-law as lazy and gluttonous as you. She doesn't do any housework. I'm exhausted from working all day, and when I get home from get off work I still have to wash your clothes, cook for you, and serve you."

"I was stupid before, too. I served you wholeheartedly like a maid, but you, an old man, not only didn't know how to be grateful, but you also beat me up whenever you were not satisfied."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I'm telling you, I, Qin Huairu, will never serve you like before, and I will never let you beat and scold me like before..."

Jia Zhang was a little flustered, and then she said angrily: "You are my daughter-in-law, you should serve me like a maid, otherwise I will die here immediately and let you bear the crime of being unfaithful and unfilial..."

Qin Huairu sneered, "Who are you trying to scare here? You have used these tricks so many times. You are the one who says them, but we are the ones who listen to them. If you are really capable, just crash and die in front of me, and I will still look up to you."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you have said this so many times, why haven't I seen you bump into it once?"

"Jia Zhang, your words are just bullshit. If you really have the ability, just hit one and show everyone. If you don't dare to hit one, don't say that. This will only make everyone hate you even more!"

Seeing that her threats didn't work, Jia Zhang immediately fell to the ground and rolled around.

"Old Jia!"

"Open your eyes and take a look!"

"Everyone is bullying me now, and Dongxu's wife is trying to force me to death!"

"Oh my God!"

"Why is my life so miserable?"

"I lost my father in my early years, my son in my middle age, and now I am forced to bang my head against the wall by my daughter-in-law in my old age."

"I'm dead."

"Old Jia! Come and take me with you!"
