Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

"What, going to jail?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang instantly wilted and said at a loss: "Auntie, you can't just ignore me. I can't go to jail. If I go to jail, what will happen to my three grandchildren?"

"You even dare to scold the investigator from the street office. How do you want me to manage it?" an old lady said angrily.

"Woo woo...what should I do?" Jia Zhang held on to the aunt tightly and refused to let go.

The lady said helplessly: "We can only ask the deaf old lady to see if she has any solution?"

"Yes, the deaf old lady is very cunning, she must have a way."

Jia Zhang's face was filled with joy, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw.

Deaf old lady's house.

After listening to the aunt's story, the deaf old lady picked up her crutch and hit Jia Zhang's head a few times. Several big bumps appeared on Jia Zhang's forehead instantly.

Jia Zhang screamed, "Oh, old lady, what are you doing?"

The deaf old lady angrily scolded: "Zhang Xiaohua, you still have the nerve to ask me what I am doing? You are as stupid as a pig. You even dare to scold the investigator. This time you will not only harm yourself, but also implicate Yi Zhonghai."

Zhang Xiaohua is Jia Zhang’s real name.

The deaf old lady was originally a daughter of a wealthy family. When she was young, she was surrounded by people and dominated the area. Later, she fell into decline because of the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

The deaf old lady's legs and feet are not good now, all because she had bound feet when she was young. Her three-inch golden lotus feet were not stable enough to stand, and it became even worse when she got old.

There is an old saying that goes, "Look at a woman's feet and a man's hands to know whether there is anyone in the family."

Women with bound feet were generally from wealthy families. They had people to serve them and did not need to work. They just had food and clothes provided for them.

Because of their poverty, girls from poor families needed a pair of big feet to work and support themselves, so they could not bind their feet.

When Jia Zhang first married into the Jia family, she had witnessed how powerful the deaf old lady was, so she was not afraid of anyone in the courtyard except the deaf old lady.

Jia Zhang said with a face full of grievance: "Old lady, you know I am uneducated and don't know what this investigator does, so I can speak without restraint!"

The deaf old lady angrily said, "Why didn't you listen when Guifang tried to stop you?"

Li Guifang is the real name of the aunt.

"I...I..." Jia Zhang stammered and couldn't utter a word.

The first lady said anxiously, "Old lady, it's not a pity that Jia Zhang died, but my old Yi can't be implicated. You have to think of a solution quickly!"

When Jia Zhang heard what the aunt said, she was about to curse, but when she saw the deaf old lady's cold eyes, she had to swallow back the words.

The deaf old lady turned to the aunt and said, "Guifang, help me go meet the two investigators..."

Upon hearing this, the aunt hurriedly helped the deaf old lady out of the room, and Jia Zhang followed closely behind with a panicked look on her face.

But when the three of them arrived at the front yard, they found that the two investigators had already left.

The lady said with a sad face: "Old lady, what should we do?"

Jia Zhang started to curse: "It's all your fault for gossiping. If I really go to jail, I will make sure your whole family will never have peace."

"Jia Zhang, you are the whore, your whole family is whores..."

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you are not only a prostitute who can be slept with by anyone, but also an unforgivable disaster. You killed your husband when you were young, your son when you were middle-aged, and you will definitely kill your grandson when you are old..."

"Sun bitch, I'm going to tear your mouth apart!"

"Whore Jia, come if you have the guts. Others may be afraid of you, but I am not!"

"Alright, everyone, shut up!"

The deaf old lady's loud shout immediately quieted the whole place down.

Under Yi Zhonghai's long-term portrayal, the deaf old lady became a living ancestor of the courtyard. Everyone was in awe of her, and when they saw her getting angry, they all shut their mouths in disappointment.

The deaf old lady looked around at everyone with dignity, and then said to the aunt, "Guifang, go to the steel mill and call Yi Zhonghai back."

The aunt's eyebrows trembled slightly, and then she smiled and said, "The old lady is still thoughtful. I will go and call Lao Yi back now."

The old lady rushed to the steel mill and met Yi Zhonghai after being notified by the security guard.

"Guifang, what are you doing at the factory? Did something happen at home?" Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously.

An old lady said anxiously: "Something has happened, and it's a big one!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly changed, and he urged, "Tell me what happened?"

The aunt told Yi Zhonghai the whole story without any delay.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened with anger, his fists clenched, and he roared hysterically: "Liu Haizhong, I will fight you to the death!"

"Lao Yi, what does this have to do with Liu Haizhong?" An old lady asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"Don't you understand? It must be Liu Haizhong who is spreading rumors about me. His purpose is to get the position of my uncle." Yi Zhonghai's voice was as cold as ice.

The auntie said cautiously, "Old Yi, why don't you give the position of the uncle to Liu Haizhong? Once he achieves his goal, he will stop spreading rumors!"

Yi Zhonghai angrily scolded: "Stupid, if I really give up the position of the eldest uncle, won't those rumors be confirmed? The more Liu Haizhong wants the position of the eldest uncle, the more I can't give it to him."

"What should we do? Rumors kill people. If you let rumors spread like this, your reputation will be ruined." The aunt's face was full of worry.

Yi Zhonghai said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I will go to the factory to ask for leave immediately, and then go home to discuss countermeasures with the old lady. I, Yi Zhonghai, have experienced all kinds of storms, and this little setback can't be a problem for me!"

"Then go and ask for leave. I'll be waiting for you at the factory gate!"

"You don't have to wait for me, just go home and see if I can borrow a bicycle."

"That's okay!"

Yi Zhonghai had worked in the steel mill for many years and had extensive connections. He actually borrowed a bicycle and rushed back to the courtyard as quickly as possible.

"Old lady, I already understand what happened. What do you think I should do next?" Yi Zhonghai said respectfully.

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Yi Zhonghai said flatteringly, "Old lady, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to come out in person again this time!"

The deaf old lady did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know who is targeting you? If you don't find out who is behind this, your troubles will be far from over."

Yi Zhonghai gnashed his teeth and said, "It's that sinister villain Liu Haizhong!"

Yi Zhonghai then told the deaf old lady everything that had happened in the past few days.

A trace of surprise flashed in the deaf old lady's eyes, "Liu Haizhong shouldn't have such a brain, right?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a slightly depressed look: "Liu Haizhong may not have it, but his disciples are not easy to deal with."

The deaf old lady raised her eyebrows and murmured, "This Fatty Liu has become smarter and learned to work together. He is not so easy to deal with now."
