Chapter 760: Chapter 761: 60s Siheyuan 9_1

Yan Fugui was watering the flowers at the doorway, remaining indifferent to Lady Jia Zhang and her grandson seeking trouble with Zhang Yu.

The Jia Family had Yi Zhonghai’s support, leaving him, the Third Master, no choice but to keep a respectful distance.

What Third Master refrained from mentioning was, if the Jia Family struggled with housing, was his own situation any more spacious?

He had already decided that once the Jia Family got a hold of the Zhang Family’s house, he absolutely wouldn’t let them monopolize it; he would definitely claim a portion for himself.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu actually dared to call Yi Zhonghai by his name, "Such a lack of manners."

"Old Zhang and his wife have just passed away, how can this girl Zhang Yu be so unreasonable."

Yan Fugui felt that he couldn’t just stand by any longer; otherwise, the younger generation might start to follow suit.

Right at that moment, the Third Auntie grabbed him and softly briefed him on the incident that had happened at noon.

"You’re saying Yi Zhonghai sought out Zhang Yu at noon and came away defeated?" Yan Fugui was shocked, knowing that even Zhang Hao would have shown Yi Zhonghai some respect in the past.

Now, replaced by Zhang Yu, she was very straightforward, not giving the slightest respect, causing the Third Master to involuntarily draw a sharp breath.

"Moreover, isn’t she worried, not worried about being isolated by everyone?" The Third Master truly didn’t understand why Zhang Yu suddenly became so fierce.

The Third Auntie rolled her eyes without a hint of courtesy, "How were the affairs of Zhang Hao and his wife settled, do you think the Zhang Sisters didn’t see it?"

"Back when Zhang Hao and his wife were alive, anyone in the courtyard who needed help, including those who needed to buy things from out of town, they offered their support."

"Yet, no sooner had they left than everyone jumped out, coveting the Zhang Family’s house and belongings."

"Yi Zhonghai even schemed to take over Zhang Hao’s job, do you think Zhang Yu will give anyone face?"

The Third Auntie thought all afternoon, "It’s all become strained."

"As for the isolation you mentioned within the courtyard, do you think the two Zhang Sisters still want to deal with the people here?"

"The sisters, with Zhang Yu already working and Zhang Li able to take care of herself, might just think that without us, their life could be better."

"For example, not having to constantly support the Jia Family in one way or another."

"In the future, if Bang Geng still thinks of going to the Zhangs’ to eat, he can thoroughly forget about it."

Upon hearing this, the Third Master sighed softly, "Let it be, let them stir the pot."

"Usually Yi Zhonghai protects them in every way, so let him continue to do so this time."

Yi Zhonghai spent most of the afternoon coaching Jia Dongxu, hoping that a last-minute effort would be effective.

Without a bit of instruction, he still had hope, thinking that Jia Dongxu’s foundational skills were intact, but upon giving some guidance, he realized that even a Level 2 Worker did better than him, let alone a Level 3 Worker.

This realization instantly drained the color from his face. If Jia Dongxu went to take the level examination with this skill and competence, what would the proctor think?

What’s more important, how would the leaders of the workshop, technical, and production departments think?

Yi Zhonghai no longer hoped that Jia Dongxu could pass as a Level 3 Worker. If he could only maintain the skill of a Level 2 Worker, he would be content.

All the way, Yi Zhonghai kept a watchful eye on Jia Dongxu, hoping he would take this matter more seriously and not continue to slack off whenever he could.

Jia Dongxu really didn’t understand what was going on with Yi Zhonghai, who had been dragging him all day to give him lessons, and he hadn’t even had a chance to slack off. He was truly exhausted.

What was worse, it was already time to clock out, and he still wasn’t left alone; all the way home, Yi Zhonghai kept nattering on non-stop.

Jia Dongxu was already too lazy to listen to Yi Zhonghai’s repetitive talk, finding it utterly devoid of originality.

However, he also knew that he could not afford to offend Yi Zhonghai. With his meager income, how was he to support a family of five? He still relied on Yi Zhonghai.

Watching Jia Dongxu nod his head incessantly in agreement, Yi Zhonghai suddenly had a thought—could it be that this guy was just humoring him, and in fact, had not taken the matter to heart at all?

Yi Zhonghai had just wanted to make his point more sternly, to get Jia Dongxu to take things more seriously and stop being so lackadaisical.

But from a distance, he saw a large crowd gathered at the gate of his siheyuan, which made Yi Zhonghai exclaim that this was not good.

In the past, even though Yi Zhonghai would be anxious, he would not be so worried. But now, with Zhang Yu having changed so drastically, he really worried that she was stirring up some kind of trouble again.

Anxious to know what exactly had happened, Yi Zhonghai could not even bother with Jia Dongxu and dashed toward the siheyuan at top speed.

Hadn’t Jia Dongxu noticed the crowd at his siheyuan’s gate?

Of course, he had noticed, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Hadn’t he seen Yi Zhonghai leave?

No matter what had happened, Jia Dongxu knew that as long as Yi Zhonghai was present, his family would not suffer.

As long as his own family did not lose out, whether it was at the factory or the siheyuan, those who could make his family suffer hadn’t been born yet.

Zhang Yu did not quarrel with Lady Jia Zhang either. No matter what, she was the younger generation, even if related by a distant lineage.

What Zhang Yu insisted on was, "The house is mine, I will not give it up, nor will I."

"Bang Geng says the stuff is his, that Zhang Li took his things. Fine, we can go to the school."

"With such a big fuss, I believe someone must have seen something." Zhang Yu looked at Bang Geng, "Let’s go, to the school."

"I won’t go, I won’t go." Bang Geng, of course, would not go to the school; with so many witnesses, it was definitely his fault.

"Bang Geng snatched Zhang Li’s food." All the surrounding children, including Third Master, attended the Rolling Steel Factory Affiliated School.

"Right, Bang Geng often snatches food from others at school."

"Someone has testified that you snatched food from my daughter Zhang Li. Apologize." Zhang Yu demanded an apology from Bang Geng.

How could Bang Geng apologize? "Grandma," in his mind, at a time like this, only Lady Jia Zhang would protect him no matter what.

"If my Bang Geng says it’s his, then it’s his," Lady Jia Zhang fiercely glared at the crowd gathered at the gate.

"Last time Bang Geng snatched my son’s firecrackers, when I went to the Jia Family for an explanation, Lady Jia Zhang was utterly unreasonable."

"When have they ever been reasonable? Always playing the rogue."

"Does the Jia Family have anyone who is reasonable?" Zhang Yu scoffed coldly.

Lady Jia Zhang, infuriated, felt it was all Zhang Yu’s fault for causing her to lose face. It didn’t matter, the girl owed a lesson, and she would take it upon herself to teach Zhang Yu a good one.

"You wretched girl, you really need discipline. Since your parents are not around, I’ll educate you properly."

Lady Jia Zhang, snarling and brandishing her claws, rushed at Zhang Yu, ready to scratch her face.

Seeing her movement, Zhang Yu’s expression instantly tightened—she really couldn’t expect Lady Jia Zhang to behave.

Lady Jia Zhang saw Zhang Yu standing still and laughed triumphantly. If she didn’t teach her a harsh lesson this time, she wouldn’t be Lady Jia Zhang.

Just as she was thinking about how to overpower Zhang Yu and make her kneel and beg for mercy, she found herself suddenly slipping away.

"Ahhh!" What was happening? Before she could react, she fell heavily to the ground.
