Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

The public security officer said with a dark face: "Ms. Jia Zhang, are you kidding me? You ate more than a dozen potatoes in a row. Are you trying to see if they are ripe?"

Jia Zhang was embarrassed and stammered, "I was just too hungry and accidentally ate a few more."

The public security officer said coldly, "Did you eat a few more potatoes? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have eaten all the potatoes, right?"

"You are not good at anything and you have nothing left over when you eat. You are not fit to work here at all. Come back to the detention center with me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang's color suddenly changed. She fell to her knees on the ground with a thump and kowtowed repeatedly for mercy.

"Comrade Public Security, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will do my job well."

"I won't go back to the detention center. The prisoners in the cell beat me every day. If you send me back, they will beat me to death."

The police officer's face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily, "Jia Zhang, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

"If you don't agree to keep me, I won't get up."

Jia Zhang's shrill cry immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

An older police officer frowned and asked, "Xiao Kong, what's going on?"

Kong Gongan said in a serious tone, "Political Commissar, this Jia Zhang volunteered to work, but she can't do anything. Let her mix concrete, and she collapsed on the ground in less than an hour."

"I felt sorry for her, so I asked her to light the fire and cook for everyone. But she almost ate all the cooked potatoes by herself."

"I felt that she was not fit to work outside, so I wanted to send her back to the detention center, but she started crying and making a scene, kowtowing and bowing, and she rolled around on the ground, refusing to go back."

Upon hearing this, Political Commissar Zhao said in a deep voice: "Jia Zhang, there is no suitable job for you here, come back to the detention center with me!"

Jia Zhang burst into tears and said, "Comrade Political Commissar, I was wrong. I didn't go back to the detention center. My cellmates not only beat and scolded me, but also didn't give me food. I was so hungry that I stole the potatoes."

"I promise you, I will never steal potatoes again and I will work hard. Please don't send me back."

When the villagers saw that Jia Zhang was in tattered clothes, had gray hair, and was crying, they couldn't bear it anymore and began to speak good words for her.

Political Commissar Zhao's expression changed several times, and he sighed, "Jia Zhang, I will give you one more chance. I hope you can take care of yourself."

"It's noon, let's eat. Jia Zhang, hurry up and serve the comrades."

Jia Zhang was filled with gratitude and said, "Thank you, Political Commissar. I will prepare meals for the comrades immediately."

After lunch, everyone continued to work. Jia Zhang also came to the river and started washing dishes.

"What a bunch of conscienceless bastards! They left me, an old woman, to wash all these dishes by myself..."

Jia Zhang was cursing and suddenly her foot slipped, and all the tableware and herself fell into the river.

"Oh no! Jia Zhang fell into the river."

Political Commissar Zhao was horrified and hurriedly called for rescue, and was the first to jump into the river.

Jia Zhang was so frightened that he kept grabbing and hitting the people who came to rescue him. Political Commissar Zhao became furious and slapped Jia Zhang in the face.

"Just be quiet!"

Only after hearing the roar did Jia Zhang calm down.

Everyone worked together and after great efforts, they finally pulled Jia Zhang ashore.

But at this time, Jia Zhang was already unconscious, and Political Commissar Zhao immediately started first aid.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

After spitting out a few mouthfuls of water, Jia Zhang came to her senses, and Political Commissar Zhao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Kong, quickly send this troublemaker back to the detention center and don't let her come out to harm others again."

Upon hearing this, the depressed Jia Zhang said in a hoarse voice: "I won't go back, I won't go back..."

Political Commissar Zhao waved his hands as if avoiding the plague and roared, "Take her away quickly. I don't want to see her again for a moment."

Seeing the political commissar's rage, the two policemen lifted up Jia Zhang and ran away.

The village party secretary looked embarrassed and said, "Commissar Zhao, all our cooking pots and pans have fallen into the river. What should we do?"

Political Commissar Zhao said helplessly, "I'll go get it!"

The village party secretary said worriedly, "Commissar Zhao, this river is very deep, why don't we just forget it?"

"It's okay. I'm good at swimming."

"Political Commissar, you have to do what you can. Take as much as you can. Life is far more important than pots and pans like these."

"Don't worry, Village Party Secretary. I know what's going on."

Seeing that the political commissar was going into the river to fish out tableware, the police and villagers who thought they were good at swimming also volunteered to jump into the river to fish out things.

Unfortunately, after working for a long time and being exhausted, I only managed to salvage less than one-third of the items, and most importantly, the construction schedule was delayed.

Political Commissar Zhao was so angry that he started cursing and threatened to increase Jia Zhang's sentence.

When Jia Zhang was sent back to prison, his fellow inmates were all surprised. After all, the old woman had only been out for less than half a day.

Sister Lan kicked Jia Zhang casually and asked, "Jia Zhang, what's going on? Why did you come back so soon?"

Jia Zhang said flatteringly, "Sister Lan, didn't I miss you? So I took the initiative to apply to come back?"

Sister Lan's face darkened instantly, and she said coldly, "Old thing, how dare you be dishonest? Sisters, loosen up her muscles."

"okay!"

As soon as Sister Lan finished speaking, a group of old women rushed towards Jia Zhang eagerly.

Jia Zhang was horrified and screamed, "Sister Lan, you can't hit me, I'm hurt."

The cellmates remained unmoved and just beat Jia Zhang up.

Jia Zhang begged, "My fellow inmates, please stop beating me. I will tell you the truth."

Sister Lan spat and said sarcastically, "You are such a jerk! I have to beat you up before you behave yourself!"

"Sisters, stop fighting and listen to what she said."

Jia Zhang was beaten so badly that she didn't dare lie anymore and told the whole story.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Sister Lan patted Jia Zhang's fat face and couldn't help laughing:

"Jia Zhang, you are really a talented person. Wherever you go, you can make a mess of it."

Jia Zhang said indignantly: "This is not my fault, it's all their fault."

Sister Lan smiled and said, "Yes...Yes, you, Jia Zhang, have never done anything wrong. It's always the fault of the people around you. How can that be said that we are also wrong?"

Jia Zhang hurriedly shook her head and said, "No...no, Sister Lan, you are not wrong. It's all my fault."

Sister Lan said sternly, "Since it's all your fault, why did you file a complaint with the prison guards, saying that we not only beat and scolded you, but also stole your food?"

Jia Zhang hurriedly denied it, "Sister Lan, I didn't complain, you must believe me!"

Sister Lan’s voice was as cold as a knife: “How dare you lie? The prison guards talked to me and warned me not to bully you…”

Jia Zhang said in panic, "Sister Lan, I really didn't complain. The prison guard must have wronged me."

Sister Lan sneered, "The prison guards wronged you? You really don't care what you say. You dare to say anything!"

"This old man is not honest at all. Keep beating me."

"Crack!"

"what…"

"Help!"
