Chapter 766: Chapter 767: 60s Siheyuan 15_1

Zhang Li looked at the agreement drafted by Yan Fugui, which had the signatures of Director Wang of the street office, Yi Zhonghai, and Zhang Yu as the involved parties.

Of course, there were also the signatures of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui as guarantors, promising to supervise Yi Zhonghai closely.

Zhang Li looked at it for a long time before carefully setting down the document, "Sister, with this thing, will they in the future?"

"Impossible," Zhang Yu shook her finger, "They don’t know how mad they can get now, and they will curse us in all kinds of ways."

"If we ever become soft-spoken, they will absolutely pounce on us and take a bite."

"Xiao Li, no matter how others see us, we must stand tall. We have a house, and when you grow up, you can work at the steel mill too."

"We are stronger than so many others."

"If anyone gives you lip, don’t be polite, stand your ground and fight back if you must."

"Okay," Zhang Li recalled how so many people had surrounded their home today, yet Zhang Yu was not afraid.

In the end, it was the others who yielded, and Zhang Li knew that as long as she was strong enough, she really didn’t have to fear anyone.

Watching Zhang Li nod incessantly, Zhang Yu knew she had done well today, showing the young girl that strength was the ultimate argument.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai returned home, he had an especially ugly expression on his face, "Too much, how dare they treat me like this."

The thought of everyone pointing fingers at him, and Xu Damao relentlessly telling him that if Sha Zhu harassed him without cause again, he would go to Director Wang.

He knew he could no longer expect to use Sha Zhu to suppress those who were disobedient; people like Xu Damao would go straight to Director Wang.

"Dammit," the more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the angrier he became.

Lady Jia Zhang lay quietly to one side, not daring to make a sound.

Lady Jia Zhang was lying on the kang bed, incessantly crying out in pain, "It’s killing me, that damned girl, I will not let you off."

Jia Dongxu had been busy all afternoon, forced to study and work under Yi Zhonghai’s pressure, and he was exhausted, so he went to unwind a bit after work.

By the time he arrived home, the incident had already come to an end, and he found out that his mother had been harassed by Zhang Yu.

Listening to Lady Jia Zhang’s continuous cries of pain and factoring in today’s gambling losses, Jia Dongxu felt even worse, believing that they couldn’t just let it slide.

Filled with anger, Jia Dongxu left the house and bolted out of the door.

Seeing Jia Dongxu’s actions, Qin Huairu knew the situation wasn’t good and tried to stop him, but Lady Jia Zhang blocked her.

"Don’t you dare," Lady Jia Zhang hissed, "You’re just a good-for-nothing."

"All of you are worthless."

"Just watching as I get bullied, none of you know how to stand up for me."

"Now my son is avenging me, and you’re still trying to stop him."

"Hmph, it’s time for that wretched girl to learn there are rules in this courtyard."

Qin Huairu looked at the ranting Lady Jia Zhang, "Mom, you’ve forgotten the Zhang Family knows martial arts."

Zhang Hao was a driver, often doing long hauls. The reason the factory assigned him to far-off destinations wasn’t because he was familiar with the roads, but because he knew martial arts.

"He used to urge Zhang Yu and the others to practice martial arts every day," thought Qin Huairu, who used to think it was just for show.

Today, watching how easily she dealt with Lady Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu realized that they had put some real effort into it.

Regarding Lady Jia Zhang getting beaten up, Qin Huairu actually cheered inside. She was truly fed up with the old woman.

But Jia Dongxu was a different story; what if he got beaten up and it affected his ability to work?

As Lady Jia Zhang remembered the kick from Zhang Yu, she tried to get up, but even a slight movement made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Go, call for Yi Zhonghai; he is Dongxu’s master," Lady Jia Zhang thought of the best candidate.

Qin Huairu responded and dashed to the Yi Family to bring up the fact that Jia Dongxu had gone to find trouble with Zhang Yu.

After drinking sullenly for a while, Yi Dongxu’s mood hadn’t improved at all but had gotten even worse. Seeing that it was getting late, he was preparing to rest.

But, to his shock, he heard Qin Huairu come to notify him of this matter, which jolted Yi Zhonghai awake.

"You’re saying, you’re saying that Dongxu actually went to find trouble with Zhang Yu?" Yi Zhonghai really grew angrier the more he thought about it, "Did nobody mention the agreement to him?"

"I did, but my mother-in-law, she..." Qin Huairu felt truly helpless. She really wanted to persuade him, but nobody listened to her advice.

Yi Zhonghai knew about Lady Jia Zhang’s temperament, "I’ll go take a look."

If Lady Jia Zhang could be peaceful, she wouldn’t be Lady Jia Zhang. Even if Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu’s master, there was no way he could completely suppress the other party.

By the time he rushed to the front courtyard, he saw that the Yan Fugui family had already stood at the door.

Jia Dongxu stood in front of Moon Gate, incessantly kicking the door, "Zhang Yu, you come out and die."

"Who gave you the courage? How dare you bully my son, bully my mother?"

"You little wretch, do you even have elders in your eyes?"

"You don’t understand the rules, no problem, I will educate you myself." Jia Dongxu had had a few drinks before and was already slurring his words.

He continued to kick at the door, signaling Zhang Yu to come out and settle the matter.

Zhang Li slept in a daze, but hearing the door kicking and Jia Dongxu’s unkind words, she knew this person had come for vengeance.

This terrified Xiao Li greatly, who ran to Zhang Yu’s room, feeling that only by being with her sister would she feel safe.

Though Zhang Yu had lain down in bed early, she had yet to fall asleep.

In the evening, Director Wang had found a moment to speak with her, suggesting that if possible, she should sell Zhang Hao’s job to someone at the steel rolling mill.

Zhang Yu had been considering whom it would be best to sell the job to if she sold it to someone at the steel rolling mill.

She was genuinely curious why Director Wang no longer wanted this job; it seemed like she had been very keen on it before.

Why the sudden change of mind? Was it because of the ruckus she caused during the day, scared her badly?

Zhang Yu didn’t think that was the reason; although she had made some fuss, it was because she was justified.

As Zhang Yu pondered, she suddenly heard someone cursing and, knowing it was Jia Dongxu, couldn’t be bothered to get up.

If someone insisted on making a scene, let him do so; she was curious how Yi Zhonghai would handle it.

After all, this old fellow had signed the guarantee agreement, and if he dealt with the matter unjustly, he was in for a fine.

Seventy-plus yuan in salary a month, let alone over a hundred with bonus, wouldn’t be sufficient for the Jia Family’s antics—unless someone stopped playing favorites.

Jia Dongxu had been shouting for a while, and aside from waking up Yan Fugui and the other two households in the front courtyard, the two girls from the Zhang Family showed no reaction at all, which infuriated Jia Dongxu.

Just as he was preparing to find something to split that damn door open, Yi Zhonghai appeared.

"Jia Dongxu, go back," Yi Zhonghai ordered sternly.

"I’m not going back." Remembering the lessons he had given Yi Zhonghai that afternoon, Jia Dongxu was in a very bad mood and refused to agree.

Yi Zhonghai had never imagined that Jia Dongxu would actually disrespect him like this, when in the past he had always spoken of how good Jia Dongxu was.

But now here he was, being publicly humiliated in front of everyone.

Third Master, seeing Yi Zhonghai in such an awkward position, was laughing inside. This old fellow often said that he couldn’t educate children well and that the Yan children weren’t as good as Jia Dongxu.
