The moment he saw Yi Zhonghai enter the courtyard, he knew that his savior had arrived.
But what he didn't expect was that Jia Zhangshi actually took the first step to shut Yi Zhonghai's mouth.
"He's a big uncle, you're finally back. We can't live like this anymore. You have to stand up for our family. This Silly Zhu is too much. He actually seduced your disciple's wife in the factory.”
"Now that you're back, what do you think we should do about this? Why don't we just send Silly Zhu to the security department and lock him up? Then he won't be able to seduce my daughter-in-law anymore.”
Her words were said in a tearful voice, making those who heard it sad and those who heard it cry.
Those who didn't know better would think that she was really trying to avenge her daughter-in-law. However, they had lived in this courtyard for so many years. Who didn't know each other?
People like Jia Zhangshi might be speaking up for Qin Huiru now, but she might be harboring evil thoughts in her heart.
Yi Zhonghai was naturally aware of the rumors about Silly Zhu and Qin Huiru. In fact, he had already advised Silly Zhu to be mindful of the rumors a few days ago.
However, with Silly Zhu's generous personality, it was obvious that he had ignored his words and forgotten them.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai glared at Silly Zhu and prepared to appease Jia Zhangshi.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I think there must be some misunderstanding between Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu. It must be someone else spreading rumors.”
"We've lived in the same courtyard for so many years, don't you know Silly Zhu's character? He was just a warm-hearted person. This time, his good intentions should have gone to waste.”
"Why don't we forget about it this time? I'll criticize him properly later and make him know his limits when helping others in the future. What do you think?”
Good heavens, this Yi Zhonghai was indeed an expert at making peace. With just a few words, he had turned Silly Zhu from a piece of trash that everyone despised into someone who was happy to help others.
Wang Jianjun didn't know what others were thinking, but he really admired this shameless spirit.
Unfortunately, Yi Zhonghai had miscalculated this time. Since the matter had already blown up, how could the Jia Zhang-shi let it go so easily without getting some benefits?
"Master Yi, are you trying to fool a fool? We are indeed neighbors, but how can you tell what Silly Zhu is thinking?”
"Besides, ask Silly Zhu yourself. Is he really selfless when he takes care of Qin Huairu in the factory? If he was really so warm-hearted, why didn't he take care of the other people in the courtyard? He's clearly looking for an excuse."
"Anyway, I'm going to say this today. Silly Zhu has to apologize to the Old Jia family in front of everyone in the quad today. I promise that she will have nothing to do with Qin Huairu in the future.”
"Also, our family has lost a lot of face this time. Silly Zhu has to compensate us. Otherwise, we'll go to the security department to judge. I want to let the leaders of the rolling mill see what kind of person Silly Zhu is.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai had already figured it out. This Jia Zhangshi had caused a ruckus today because they were here for compensation. This was easy to resolve.
However, he couldn't agree to it so easily. If that was the case, Jia Zhang-shi would definitely demand an exorbitant price.
With Silly Zhu's bad temper, if things got out of hand, he might really get into trouble with the security department.
This would not do. It was not easy to groom Silly Zhu into a candidate for his retirement. How could he let him have a stain on his body?
" Alright, sister-in-law. I understand your requests, but this isn't something to be proud of. If he really goes to the security department, Silly Zhu's reputation will be ruined, but Qin Huairu won't be able to escape either.”
"Think about it, doesn't that make sense? Besides, if this matter gets out, what will others think of our quad in the future? Which young lady would dare to marry into our courtyard?”
"Second Master, Third Master, think about it. Is this true?”
After listening to Yi Zhonghai's words, Wang Jianjun could only sigh again. This old man was indeed an expert at moral kidnapping. First, he used Qin Huairu's reputation to threaten the Jia Zhangshi, and then he used the matter of a junior marrying a wife.
He didn't forget to include Second Uncle and Third Uncle. One had to know that Third Uncle's three sons weren't married yet. Even Second Uncle's family had two young men.
Sure enough, the second and third grandmasters who were watching the show from the side became anxious when they heard the implied meaning.
"Jia Zhang-shi, I think First Uncle is right. No matter what, this is a matter of our quad. It's best to settle it in the quad. If word gets out, it won't be good for everyone.”
"That's right. Besides, Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu should be fine. You can't slander your daughter-in-law's reputation by hearsay.”
The two old men, one in front and one behind, began to persuade Jia Zhangshi. They didn't even need to think of a reason. They just opened their mouths and said it. They even brought up the matter of the selection of the advanced. This time, even the bystanders were a little anxious.
One had to know that once the street evaluated them as entering the courtyard, there would be tangible benefits. Although it was not a lot, each family would at least get a share.
This was great. With this reason, if Jia Zhangshi still insisted on going to the security department, then her family would be enemies with the entire hospital. If anything happened to his family in the future, who would help her?
Jia Zhang-shi naturally knew this principle, but now that she was already riding a tiger, she could only continue to persist. Otherwise, all the preparations in front of her would be useless.
"My three masters, your words naturally make sense. However, he caused my daughter-in-law's reputation to be ruined.”
"Of course not. How about this, this time it was indeed Silly Zhu's fault. In order to teach him a lesson, I'll punish him and compensate you two yuan this time.”
Hearing that Jia Zhang-shi had softened, Yi Zhonghai quickly struck while the iron was hot and decided to let this matter go. Besides, two yuan was not a small amount. If he had a meat ticket, he could buy two and a half catties of pork. If he bought food, it would be even more.
Although Yi Zhonghai's idea was very good, he still underestimated Jia Zhangshi's appetite. She wanted to end this matter with just two yuan. Was she trying to send a beggar away?
"Master Yi, Silly Zhu should compensate our family, but two yuan is too little. How would he learn his lesson? I think we should compensate him with twenty yuan.”
As soon as Jia Zhangshi announced the price, not to mention the onlookers, even the uncle who earned more than 90 yuan a month felt a headache.
Yi Zhonghai also knew that Jia Zhangshi would definitely not agree to two yuan. He deliberately said that it was so low because he thought that if Jia Zhangshi did not agree, he would add a little more. At most, five yuan would solve the problem.
However, he had underestimated Jia Zhang-shi's greed. This fellow had increased the price by ten times. He really didn't want Silly Zhu to live anymore.
Although Silly Zhu seemed to be living a carefree life, his monthly salary was actually only 37 yuan and 50 cents. He had to buy food for two people and pay for his sister He Yushui's education. He really didn't have much money left in a month.
If he really compensated Jia Zhangshi with 20 yuan, then for the rest of his life, Silly Zhu would have to use his few savings.
"Sister-in-law, you're asking for too much. Silly Zhu's monthly salary is only 30 yuan. If you give your family 20 yuan, how will he and Yu Shui live?”
Seeing Silly Zhu's black face, Yi Zhonghai quickly tried to persuade Jia Zhangshi. As for Second and Third Grandmasters, as long as Jia Zhangshi didn't blow things up, they couldn't be bothered to care so much.
"No, it's only 20 yuan, not a single cent. This time, I want him to remember. Since he doesn't have the strength, why act like a big wolf?”
"Master Yi, I gave you face today, so I didn't bring this matter to the security department. If Silly Zhu really doesn't want to compensate, then don't blame me.”
Good heavens, this Jia Zhangshi was something, she turned the situation around with a few words. Now, the decision to go to the security department was in Silly Zhu's hands.
Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and the surrounding onlookers instantly turned their gazes to Silly Zhu.
Looking at the gazes of these people, what else could Silly Zhu say? Who asked him to be too confident and let Jia Zhangshi catch hold of him?
This time, even Yi Zhonghai could not help him.
"Alright, First Uncle, you don't have to say anything more to her. I'll pay for this 20 yuan, but Aunt Jia, after I give you this money today, our two families will have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
As he spoke, Silly Zhu took out 20 yuan from his house. His words implied that he was threatening or breaking up with them.
But who was Jia Zhangshi? She was a person who dared to deduct her son's compensation for buying vegetables. Why would she care about this?
Therefore, she didn't take Shazhu's threat seriously. After taking the 20 yuan from Shazhu, she turned around and went home.
As for the future, she would talk about it in the future. She could not care about it in the future.
Seeing that Jia Zhang-shi had really taken the money away, Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed instantly. He directly closed the door and entered the house, not caring about the things outside.
"Alright, it's fine. Everyone, disperse.”
After chasing away the onlookers, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and went home.
This Jia Zhang-shi, this time she had really taken a narrow path.
