Courtyard House: Report enemy agents at the start, and you'll take off immediately.

After seeing the situation clearly in the dim light.

The master was also stunned. What on earth was going on?!

bah bah bah!

With great effort, Jia Zhangshi lifted her head from the coal pile, then sat up halfway and immediately burst into tears:

"Ouch!!!"

"What a terrible thing! Damn it! I can't live anymore!"

The commotion attracted the attention of those around them.

The first family to emerge was Yan Bugui.

They saw a black mass on the ground belonging to Jia Zhangshi and a bewildered coal deliveryman standing to the side.

Yan Bugui's family was completely bewildered, unable to figure out what kind of play this was.

Subsequently, people from the intermediate court and the back courtyard also arrived at the scene one after another.

Even Xu Damao came after hearing the news.

Upon seeing this, he felt much relieved.

Well, these two unlucky souls have run into each other and are comforting one another.

"Old Yi, he bullied an old man, he has to pay compensation!"

Jia Zhangshi preemptively and loudly berated the coal deliveryman.

He made no mention of attacking someone earlier.

The coal deliveryman quickly defended himself:

"Listen to me, everyone. I had just opened the door when this lady suddenly rushed out."

"I thought she had something urgent to do, so I quickly moved to the side."

"Who knew she would rush straight at me, shouting 'Scratch me to death, scratch me to death'."

"It startled me so much that I just threw the coal over there!"

After listening to the coal deliveryman's explanation, everyone understood what had happened.

That’s right!

Just yesterday, Jia Zhangshi scratched the wrong person.

After this whole mess today, who can possibly not understand?

Qin Huairu and Banggeng quickly stepped forward to help Jia Zhangshi get up.

She was covered in coal dust.

Chapter 41: You want me to pay you 2,500 yuan?

"Grandma, you'd better look carefully before you scratch someone next time!"

Banggeng believes that Grandma's eyesight is not very good anymore.

Qin Huairu did not dare to openly criticize Jia Zhangshi.

But I was secretly relieved that I hadn't scratched anyone this time, otherwise I would have had to pay compensation again.

As for the mother-in-law, she should suffer a small loss.

A strange sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.

"If I had seen clearly, would I have even had time to scratch him? That guy could be incredibly agile!"

After offering a brief explanation in her own defense, Jia Zhangshi said nothing more.

If the coal deliveryman is a quiet and honest man.

Just now, Jia Zhangshi might have actually managed to swindle a few dollars.

But now that this explanation has been given, there's nothing left to argue about.

Okay, things are pretty clear now.

The people around were secretly laughing at Jia Zhangshi, who had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead.

The coal deliveryman sighed inwardly at his bad luck.

He began picking up the pieces of coal scattered on the ground, one by one.

They were put back into the sack and the opening was carefully tied tight.

Immediately afterward, before everyone had even left, the coal deliveryman hurriedly asked:

"Excuse me, does Comrade Zhao De live in this courtyard? Which room does he live in?"

Upon hearing this question, Jia Zhangshi, who was about to leave to tidy up, immediately perked up.

She walked over quickly and asked eagerly:

"Is this coal a gift for Zhao De?"

The coal deliveryman countered:

Which room does he live in?

Jia Zhangshi waved her hand.

"Tell me first, did he buy this coal?"

The coal deliveryman frowned and asked in return:

"Tell me which room he's staying in first! It's obvious, isn't it?"

Thinking about how this woman's unreasonable behavior had wasted his time...

The master then decided to tease her a little.

Yi Zhonghai understood Jia Zhangshi's plan.

She wanted to intercept this batch of coal.

So he immediately stepped forward to dissuade him:

"Sister-in-law, you should go back and tidy up quickly. If the neighborhood committee finds out what you just did, you'll definitely be criticized."

Yi Zhonghai does not want the conflict between the two companies to escalate further.

But Jia Zhangshi ignored what he said.

"Old Yi, don't interrupt. Master, just give me this coal, I'll return it to Zhao De later."

"That won't work."

The coal deliveryman raised his hand as he spoke, shaking his head repeatedly.

He wouldn't waste his breath talking to her unless she seemed like a good person.

"Look how late it is. Give me the coal and you can go home and rest earlier."

"Besides, Zhao De isn't in the yard right now, and he's an orphan with no parents."

These words touched the coal deliveryman's heart; he truly hoped to return as soon as possible.

If Zhao De is not home, he also needs to consider other solutions.

However, the coal deliveryman is not stupid.

He could tell from her words that there was a conflict between her and the coal owner, so he was determined not to hand over the coal to her.

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he was about to ask Liu Haizhong to give him the coal, but Liu Haizhong beat him to it.

“Master, I am a level seven fitter at the steel rolling mill, and also the second oldest man in this courtyard.”

“I live with Comrade Zhao De in the backyard. Just give me the coal, and I will pass it on to him later.”

"Old Liu, you..." Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

He waved his hand in his bangs.

"I'm the second oldest in the backyard, isn't it only right that I help Dezi put away his things?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless; Liu Haizhong's statement did indeed make some sense.

However, Madam Jia refused to give up, and said with a gloomy face:

"No, you have to give me this coal. He still owes me two thousand five hundred. Use the coal to pay off the debt first."

Everyone was stunned when he said that.

Zhao De actually owes Jia Zhangshi two thousand five hundred.

Did they hear correctly?

Yan Bugui had heard about this before, so he wasn't surprised.

Seeing this, he quickly interjected:

"Master, just give her the coal. It's true that there is such a thing."
