Chapter 2307 Old Yi Visits Sister Hua
Chapter 2307 Old Yi Visits Sister Hua
eight pm
Except for a few seriously injured people, everyone in the courtyard carried small stools and ran to watch the movie.
People like Stick Master, Little Monkey, and Cui Dake had no complaints, because they already knew they wouldn't get a seat at the grand banquet tomorrow.
They have trouble even going to the toilet now, so they have no interest in participating in this.
But Jia Zhangshi is different! She was beaten by a mob in the middle of the night, and then worked hard all night long. She was almost exhausted by dawn…
Lying down like that completely ruined my life; after a good night's sleep, I was so weak I couldn't even stand up.
This time, instead of dizziness or blurred vision, I felt completely weak all over. I had no energy or spirit, and I felt like I had a terminal illness.
"Ugh! What's going on this time? Before, when I was injured, I would recover to some extent after a day of sleep. But today, even after a nap, my whole body is still sore and aching... And now it doesn't seem to be getting any better, it even feels like it's gotten worse. My bones feel like they're falling apart, is it because I'm so tired?"
In the evening, Jia Zhangshi was awakened by the urge to urinate and tried to get off the bed, but the discomfort in her whole body caused her to lose her balance and fall down.
This fall was like adding insult to injury for her, who was already trembling. She couldn't get up for half a day.
Since everyone in the courtyard had gone to see the movies, Jia Zhangshi was all alone at home, feeling utterly helpless. Enraged, she gave Jia Dongxu and Banggeng a severe dressing-down…
Jia Zhangshi believes that the idea of raising children to provide for old age is a lie, and now she's being bullied to death! These two ungrateful brats don't even bother to check on her.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later, after Haoziqiang returned from feeding the little monkey, that he helped her up...
Recalling the time when movies were shown in the courtyard house a few years ago, Jia Zhangshi's tears instantly welled up!
She fell by the pool in the middle courtyard again that time, and was kicked a few times by two people... She never expected that her tragedy would repeat itself a few years later.
Why is my life so miserable! If only I hadn't rushed into dealing with Liao Shaoji yesterday, Yan Bugui and Gao Shuzhen wouldn't have gotten involved. I should have finished the feast first and dealt with him then!
The more Jia Zhangshi thought about it, the angrier she became. She could skip the movie, but if she missed the grand banquet tomorrow, she would never have another chance.
Just then, that old rascal Yi Zhonghai quietly pushed open Jia Zhangshi's door. Everyone had gone to the movies, and this guy had run back to bring some warmth to Sister Hua...
When Jia Zhangshi saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, her heart sank. She had just argued with him last night; was this guy here to kick her while she was down?
"What...what are you doing at my house? Get out of here right now, or if Qiangzi comes back, I won't be able to explain myself."
Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "You think I wanted to come here? I came to see if you've been beaten to death... otherwise why don't you leave the house all day?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, Qiangzi and the others have been sent to deliver the district officials! Aren't you usually pretty tough? How come you're lying down and won't get up today!"
When Jia Zhangshi heard that Qiangzi wouldn't be back anytime soon, she stopped chasing Yi Zhonghai away. She didn't dare confront him now; if she angered him, she would be the one to suffer.
"Old Yi, you really care about your wife. Those bastards are all bad. Especially those two good-for-nothings, Old Xu and Old He... They didn't even help when your wife was being beaten."
Madam Jia wanted to use delaying tactics to appease Lao Yi, but Lao Yi had only come to mend relationships. He needed Madam Jia's help now; otherwise, he would just stay home idly chatting and not come to see her.
However, Lao Yi was secretly pleased, since Lao Xu and Lao He had been standing in the front row watching last night, while he had been hiding in the crowd cheering on Yan Bugui and his team…
"You know that, so stop being so thoughtless. They're all just using you; only I'm good to you."
As he spoke, Lao Yi took a hot steamed bun out of his pocket and handed it to the other person.
Let's just have a couple of bites first!
As long as Lao Yi didn't mention borrowing money, Jia Zhangshi didn't argue with him. Now the two of them started acting... This woman actually started crying after taking the steamed bun.
"Waaaah... Old Yi, you're the one who loves your sister-in-law the most. That stingy bastard, you owe me that big meal. It cost fifteen yuan a table... Why is my life so miserable! Old Jia, why didn't you take that stingy bastard with you when you came up here?"
When Lao Yi heard the woman mention Lao Jia again, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"Stop, stop, stop! Why the hell are you bringing up Lao Jia this late at night? Can't we have a conversation? If we can't, I'm leaving!"
After taking a big bite of the steamed bun, Jia Zhangshi turned from crying to laughing.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that jerk anymore. I'll continue cursing that miser, alright?"
No matter how much Jia Zhangshi cursed, Yan Bugui had no time to argue with her. After being threatened with divorce by his wife that morning, the old man was busier than anyone else. He was currently busy greeting the people who had come to see the movie…
Since Lin Chen and Bai Ling couldn't easily go and make the arrangements, the task naturally fell to the stewards of the courtyard house.
"Old Yan, what happened to your face? Did your wife scratch it again?"
"They're all bruised! It's obvious they were beaten! Comrade Yang Ruihua was too ruthless."
Yan Bugui knew he would be ridiculed by people from other alleys tonight, but he still braved the pressure and came out to help entertain them.
If I don't work harder now, my wife might run away! I'm about to become a grandfather, it would be so embarrassing if we got divorced!
"Don't talk nonsense, I just tripped and fell. Come on, have a cigarette, it's a celebratory cigarette from Director Bai's house. Another boy has been added to our compound..."
Just as the old men in charge of the courtyard were greeting guests, three little girls in the crowd were happily holding hands and walking into the courtyard.
After showing her two girlfriends around her courtyard, Li Wenya then brought them over to meet her sister, Huairu.
A few days ago, Li Wenya had mentioned this to Qin Huairu, who naturally encouraged the young girl to do her best. Everyone has a responsibility to ensure the Lin family's continued growth and expansion!
Li Wenya can come and report back tonight, since she was already lured to the kang (heated brick bed) last night.
Qin Huairu knew that her brother Lin Chen would know when to stop.
Lin Family Main Room
After looking Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei up and down, Qin Huairu nodded slightly in satisfaction.
"Don't be nervous, I won't yell at you. Wenya knows this best, just call me Sister Huairu from now on. Go to the west courtyard to see your Sister Bailing! Remember not to say anything out of line, and if she asks you about private matters, don't act too playful. After all, there are many sisters, so we have to take turns..."
Zhou Xiaobai and Hao Dongmei exchanged a smile. Li Wenya had told them before they arrived that her eldest sister was easy to get along with. Now it seemed she really was... she even gave them the secret to passing the test.
Hao Dongmei immediately raised her little hand and promised, "Hey, thank you, Sister Huairu. We'll definitely be obedient from now on, and we promise not to divulge a single word."
