Chapter 800: Chapter 801: 60s Siheyuan 49_1

If someone else heard these words, of course they’d step aside, but who is Lady Jia Zhang? The tyrant of the quadrangle.

"Isn’t it right that you bring us food?"

"Everyone knows our family is not doing well, and it was Yi Zhonghai who had Sha Zhu deliver food to us originally."

Gratitude? That was even more out of the question. Lady Jia Zhang, seeing Sha Zhu’s empty hands, said, "Sha Zhu, what’s going on? You haven’t brought us any food for the past two days."

"Go make some food."

"I’m telling you, don’t starve us to death," Lady Jia Zhang yelled at He Yuzhu, pressuring Sha Zhu to go and cook.

Zhang Li was dumbfounded. "How can someone be so shameless?"

"It’s all because Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu spoiled her." Too much? This was just the beginning. Later on, Lady Jia Zhang’s actions would become even more outrageous.

Before, they were tied to the people of the quadrangle, all pitching in to cover the Jia Family’s problems. But now everyone knew their own situation was not bad, who would be willing to cover for others?

Especially since she said that Yi Zhonghai had a high income and was directly supporting the Jia Family, there was no need to force others.

She had already said so much, if those people still could not stand up for themselves, then there was nothing she could do.

Sha Zhu was obedient to Qin Huairu’s commands, but when it came to Lady Jia Zhang, he had no pleasantries for her, "My family has nothing to eat."

"Our grain ration is all with your family." He wanted to cook, but he simply had no means to do so.

"You having nothing to eat is your business," Lady Jia Zhang retorted, reaching out to claw at Sha Zhu’s face, forcing him to cook.

Sha Zhu was furious, of course he retaliated. Lady Jia Zhang hadn’t expected this brat would dare to make a move, so, of course, she fought back.

At this time of the day, people were coming home from work and began to witness Sha Zhu and Lady Jia Zhang fighting.

Lady Jia Zhang originally had good fighting skills, especially adept at targeting the lower body. Sha Zhu was also quite capable, but he had been beaten up by Zhang Yu the day before.

If he hadn’t been concerned about his salary, and if there had been food at home, he really wouldn’t have wanted to go to work.

Even though now he could slack off cooking by letting his apprentice do the work, he still had to do some tasks or the canteen director would certainly disapprove of him.

His injuries from yesterday were still fresh and he had been busy all day, so naturally, he was extremely tired. There was no way he could match up with the well-rested Lady Jia Zhang.

As a result, he was continuously attacked in the lower body by Lady Jia Zhang, causing him intense pain, so much that he howled in agony.

Zhang Yu and Zhang Li were tidying things up when they heard the commotion from the central courtyard. They knew something was happening, so they quickly locked their courtyard door and hurried over.

Seeing the efficient way the Zhang Sisters moved, Third Aunt’s lips twitched, but she said nothing.

Now there was no Uncle Steward left in the quadrangle. Even the old man’s words held no sway, let alone hers.

Feeling helpless, Third Aunt shook her head and went over to see what was happening. Whether it was Sha Zhu or the Jia Family, she absolutely detested them. If they hadn’t caused trouble, things wouldn’t have come to this.

The Zhang Sisters arrived a bit late and couldn’t grab a good vantage point. "Excuse me, excuse me," Zhang Yu said politely, asking them to make way.

Originally they didn’t want to move aside—didn’t they also want to be at the front? But turning their heads and realizing it was Zhang Yu, of course they made way.

And so, the two sisters smoothly made their way to the front. Zhang Yu knew that Lady Jia Zhang’s eyes held only money and her children and grandchildren. Even Sha Zhu, who had helped her a lot, would receive no courtesy from her.

Watching her unceremoniously strike at Sha Zhu’s lower body, Zhang Yu had only one thought: Was she trying to render Sha Zhu childless for life?

This was just as well. Even if Qin Huairu ended up with Sha Zhu, they wouldn’t be able to have children, thereby securing Bang Geng and their interests.

Sha Zhu, in too much pain to bear, summoned all his strength to fling Lady Jia Zhang away.

Of course, since he wasn’t strong enough, Lady Jia Zhang didn’t fly very far and wasn’t injured, but Sha Zhu was quite exhausted himself.

Zhang Yu could hear his heavy breathing from a distance away—good heavens, he was seriously weak.

Lady Jia Zhang quickly recovered, got up, rushed to Sha Zhu, pushed him over, and started kicking him in the chest and lower body with both hands and feet.

Everyone looked on at Lady Jia Zhang’s ferocious manner, all stunned into silence; not a single person spoke up to intervene, let alone step forward to stop her.

When Yi Zhonghai returned, he went to the rear courtyard to consult with the Deaf Old Lady about Jia Dongxu’s matter, which couldn’t be dragged on indefinitely.

Hearing Lady Jia Zhang swearing and blaming Sha Zhu for not bringing food, he couldn’t be bothered to step outside.

These past few days, Sha Zhu hadn’t brought food home, which resulted in the Jia Family coming to their own home for meals.

With the food supply for the elderly couple and the Deaf Old Lady already tight, the Jia Family’s voracious eating had depleted nearly half a month’s worth of provisions in just a few days.

If they were to continue eating at their home, Yi Zhonghai dared not even think about what they would eat in the days ahead.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t go out, and the Deaf Old Lady was even less likely to do so; ever since Sha Zhu had eyes only for Qin Huairu, he had shown little respect for his grandmother.

As for being provided with food, that was even less likely to happen—he hadn’t seen any filial piety from him; now, letting him see what kind of people the Jia Family were, he would know who was truly good to him.

Since neither of them went out, the onlookers were even less inclined to come and inform them, and so they missed the first-hand scene.

First Elder was at home, but because she was feeling unwell, she was lying down and resting; by the time she realized something was amiss, Sha Zhu had already been beaten severely by Lady Jia Zhang.

First Elder rushed over to where Sha Zhu was lying on the ground, "Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu."

She turned to the crowd standing by, "How could you just let Sha Zhu be beaten by someone?"

Xu Damao was in a terrific mood today; seeing Sha Zhu getting beaten made him quite elated, "How would we know? We thought that Lady Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu were just playing around."

"When I was beating up Sha Zhu, didn’t First Elder say it was just for fun?"

The crowd was frightened by First Elder’s words; they had no fondness for either Lady Jia Zhang or Sha Zhu, and of course, they weren’t about to step in.

But they didn’t want to take responsibility either; now that Xu Damao had spoken up, they all echoed in agreement, "Exactly, exactly, we thought they were just messing around."

"When Sha Zhu used to beat up Damao, wasn’t it just like this?"

The crowd unanimously asserted that they really thought it was just playful antics; Zhang Yu heard this and couldn’t help but chuckle.

Sha Zhu probably hadn’t anticipated that the way he used to treat Damao would now come back to haunt him.

First Elder was stumped by Xu Damao’s words, "Go to the Deaf Old Lady’s place and call for First Elder."

Xu Damao looked everywhere but didn’t budge; in the end, it was Liu Guangtian who went to summon Yi Zhonghai and the others.

Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady were appalled when they heard that Lady Jia Zhang had hit Sha Zhu’s lower parts, their faces turning pale.

"Why didn’t you stop her?" The Deaf Old Lady was furious; after all, she still wanted to hold great-grandchildren.

"When Sha Zhu hit Damao before, wasn’t it on the lower body? First Elder said it was just for fun, so we thought it was for fun too," Liu Guangtian said before making a quick getaway—not wanting to bear the brunt of Yi Zhonghai and the others’ anger.
