Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 16: Back to the old ways

When Yang Ning rushed to the middle courtyard, he saw the other children hiding timidly aside. Jia Zhang was holding Yang An with one hand and seemed to be taking something out of Yang An's arms with the other hand.

At this time, Yang An was curled up in a ball and was being carried by Jia Zhang, with his hands tightly protecting his chest, crying loudly.

The oldest one, He Yushui, pulled Jia Zhang's thigh, trying to stop her, but after all, he was too young and did not affect Jia Zhang's actions at all.

"Ms. Jia Zhang! What are you doing?" Yang Ning was about to step forward to stop her, but Ms. Yang Liu, who arrived shortly afterwards, rushed forward first.

She snatched Yang An from Jia Zhang's hand and stuffed him into Yang Ning's arms, then grabbed Jia Zhang's hair and started hitting her left and right.

Good guy, Yang Ning exclaimed. Good guy.

I have never seen this side of my mother before. Although Yang Liu was occasionally aggressive in the past, she always stayed at the verbal level. This is the first time I have seen her do this directly.

When Jia Zhang heard Yang Ning's voice, she was about to raise her head and say a few words back, but she didn't expect a figure to rush over to her, grab her hair and slap her in the face, which stunned Jia Zhang.

He Yushui, who was standing by, was stunned when she saw this situation, and was then pulled back into her room by Yang Ning.

"Don't go out. Take good care of the second monster here."

As he said this, he put Yang An, who was still in shock in his arms, on the ground. After a careful inspection, he found that nothing serious was wrong, so he looked at him and said, "Listen to Sister Yushui here and I will go out and avenge you."

“Yeah!” Yang An stopped crying when he was put into Yang Ning’s arms. Now he nodded with sobs: “Big pot, bad milk, grab the second monster candy.”

"Got it." Yang Ning stood up and touched Yang An's head, then told Yu Shui not to go out.

He knew that the matter was not over yet. Even though his mother had the upper hand now, when the person in charge of the courtyard came back, there would be another round of arguments.

However, this is exactly the battlefield where Jia Zhang is best at. He can always get away with it by making unreasonable demands and acting pitiful, and with the help of someone who deliberately favors him.

"Oh no, I won't live any longer. Someone is bullying an orphan and a widow!"

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard, she heard Jia Zhang's performance. It turned out that Jia Zhang had recovered by then. Seeing that all the people who were not working in the courtyard had come, she struggled but failed to break free from Yang Liu's iron claws, so she fell to the ground.

Now that the audience is here, let’s start the show.

Hearing Jia Zhang's cries, an old lady and a woman from the middle courtyard stepped forward to pull Yang Liu away.

"What's going on? Is the Intermediate Court planning to commit a crime as a group?"

Yang Ning walked forward slowly, and looked at his mother who was still riding on Jia Zhang and greeting her, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Ningzi, don't talk nonsense. What kind of case is this? How did we become a gang?"

When the aunt saw that it was Yang Ning, she continued to step forward and pull Yang Liu.

"Try to touch my mother." Yang Ning pointed at the aunt and said coldly, "Just now, Jia Zhang stole my brother's things in broad daylight.

My brother was crying so miserably and you didn't come out to stop him. Now that the robber has been subdued by my mother, you come out.

After coming out, not only did you not help to control Jia Zhang, but you tried to help her escape. You said you were not a gang, so what were you doing?"

Yang Ning didn't give the so-called middle-aged lady any face at all and started to scold her.

"As expected, people of the same family stick together. I still remember that Yang Liu's words almost killed the third uncle's family. This time, his son's words are going to put Jia Zhang... No, no, not just Jia Zhang, but all the people in the middle courtyard in jail!"

Yang Ning's words frightened the old lady and several other women in the middle courtyard, and they all stopped.

"Ningzi, don't say that. We have lived in the same courtyard for many years. How could you not know if he is a robber?"

At this time, an old lady who lived in the middle courtyard said something to Yang Ning with a smile, but she quietly took a few steps back.

"Since we have lived here for so many years, everyone must know what Jia Zhang is. Jia Dongxu is about to get married, but he has been quiet for a few years and only had a few full meals? His old ways have returned."

At this time, Yang Liu was probably tired of beating Jia Zhang, so she climbed up from her body and stared at the aunties and grandmas in the yard. Jia Zhang could only lie on the ground and groan, and it was unclear whether she was acting pitiful or was in so much pain that she couldn't stand up.

"Mister Yang, what are you going to do?" At this time, an old lady stood up. It is not difficult to investigate today's matter, as there were several children in the yard at that time.

"Report it to the street office. Although a few candies are not worth much, Jia Zhang is still robbing them by force."

Seeing that his mother was in trouble, Yang Ning stepped forward and spoke.

"Brother Yang Ning!" At this time, a tearful voice was heard. Qin Huairu walked slowly to Yang Ning with the thief's stick in his arms. Before he opened his mouth, he squatted down and was about to kneel down.

"You dare to kneel down and see if I dare to send your mother-in-law in?"

Yang Ning knew what she was going to do and quickly stopped her.
At this time, Yang Liu also understood Qin Huairu's plan and stepped forward to protect her son.

If she hadn't been holding the child in her arms, Yang Liu would have wanted to slap her a few times.

Who will be eliminated?

"Boss, go call the people from the street over. I just want to see if this courtyard is still ruled by the d. Can people like Jia Zhang still run rampant in the courtyard?"

"Okay!" After getting instructions from his mother, Yang Ning walked around the aunts and grandmas who were blocking the door and ran out.

At this time, Jia Zhang climbed up with a whoosh. When Yang Liu saw this, she immediately became alert to avoid being attacked by this old woman.

But what was surprising was that after Jia Zhang got up, she ran towards her home regardless of anything and slammed the door shut amid everyone's puzzled gazes.

Qin Huairu was also confused at first, but after a while he suddenly thought of something and his face was instantly filled with fear.

"It's over." After saying this, Qin Huairu collapsed to the ground instantly.

At this time, Yang Ning came in with Director Wang from the Street Office, followed by several people in uniform.

Director Wang came in and looked around: "Where is Jia Zhang?"

"At her house." Yang Liu said, pointing at the Jia family.

Director Wang saw that the door of Jia's house was closed and glanced at the aunt.

The auntie obviously knew what had happened to Jia Zhang just now, but looking at Director Wang's cold eyes, she could only nod bitterly.

"You can't go in." Seeing that Director Wang was about to break in, Qin Huairu blocked the door like a madman, still holding Bang Geng tightly in her arms, as if this could give her a little sense of security.

"Get out of the way!" Director Wang originally thought it was just an ordinary neighborhood dispute, but when he saw the current situation, he realized that something big was going on.

"Director Wang, my mother-in-law knows she was wrong and will change for the better in the future." Qin Huai refused to give in and kept apologizing on behalf of Jia Zhang.

If Jia Zhang had really listened to you, she would probably have become a city resident by now.

Director Wang had advised the Jia family several times before, but Jia Zhang refused to agree, and Qin Huairu just stood by and nodded in agreement, so she naturally knew who had the final say in the Jia family.

"Say it again, get out of the way!" Seeing that Qin Huairu refused to give way, Director Wang winked at several people from the street office.

Immediately, several people came forward and grabbed Qin Huairu from the ground, dragging her aside. Another person who had obviously been a soldier took a few steps back, then kicked open the door of the Jia family's room.

"Oh, it seems there are still some fish that slip through the net!"

When Director Wang saw the situation in the room, his face instantly darkened.

　I'm shamelessly asking for votes. I've been blocked three times for writing such a small amount of content. I'm currently revising the outline.
