Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family.

Hiding through the window of the house, Jia Zhangshi saw a group of people getting closer and closer, and each of them looked hostile. She was so frightened that she trembled all over.

She rushed into the kitchen and said to Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru's parents are here again, with a large group of people. They're heading towards our house. I reckon your parents are here too. Let me tell you, don't you dare say anything bad about me later, or I'll make you regret it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu dropped the rolling pin in her hand, a feeling of fear rising in her heart.

Without thinking twice, she quickly washed her hands, ran out of the kitchen, and swiftly opened the bedroom door.

The moment she opened the door, she saw her parents walking in angrily. Behind them were her second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, third aunt, and several of her cousins. Even Wang Feng and Jingru came over, followed by a group of people from the courtyard who came to watch the commotion.

"Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, what brings you here?"

Qin Huairu quickly stepped forward, managed a weak smile, and greeted her parents and second uncle.

Qin Changshun looked coldly at Qin Huairu, and after a while, he slapped her across the face.

"Smack."

Qin Huairu was stunned by the slap, and a handprint instantly appeared on her cheek. However, she did not dare to question her father about why he hit her. She could only stand there and shed tears of grievance.

Huai Ru's mother didn't expect Qin Changshun to start hitting her so suddenly. She wanted to stop him, but Qin Changshun was too fast, and she couldn't react at all.

Seeing this, the second son of the Qin family and Qin Jingru's father didn't say much. They believed that an unfilial daughter like Qin Huairu deserved to be beaten.

Qin Changshun ignored Qin Huairu and coldly shouted, "Where is your mother-in-law? Tell her to come out."

"I...I!"

Qin Huairu doesn't know what to do now. Her parents and second uncle came today, which must mean that her third uncle told her parents about her situation. It's obvious that her parents came to teach Jia Zhangshi a lesson today.

She really wanted her parents to teach Jia Zhangshi a good lesson and vent her anger, but she would be living in the Jia family for a long time and would need Jia Zhangshi's help to take care of the children. She was genuinely afraid that her parents would beat Jia Zhangshi badly.

When Qin Changshun saw Qin Huairu stammering for a long time without saying a word, he decided to bypass Qin Huairu and go directly to the Jia family to drag out Jia Zhangshi.

Just then, Jia Zhangshi, who had been peeking through the window, knew she couldn't escape it any longer. She steeled herself and stepped out of the house, grinning as she went:

"Oh dear, it's my in-laws! Come in, come in and sit down. Huai Ru, quickly make some tea."

Qin Changshun coldly stared at Jia Zhangshi, who resembled a fat pig, and asked in a deep voice, "You are Jia Zhangshi, Huairu's mother-in-law?"

"Hey, in-law, I'm Zhang Xiaohua. Let's go inside and talk this over."

Jia Zhangshi forced a smile and nodded in agreement.

Qin Changshun nodded, then looked at Huai Ru's mother and her two younger siblings, and shouted:

"Beat them! Beat them hard!"

When Huai Ru's mother and the others saw Jia Zhangshi, they almost couldn't hold back anymore. Now that they heard the eldest son of the Qin family say that a fight had started, they didn't hesitate any longer. The three of them rushed forward to Jia Zhangshi and started hitting her.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

As soon as Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, Qin's mother and her second sister-in-law each grabbed one side of Jia Zhangshi's hair, and Huai Ru's mother raised her hand and slapped Jia Zhangshi's swollen face hard.

"Smack."

"Clap clap clap".

Huai Ru's mother slapped Jia Zhangshi several times, and Jia Zhangshi's swollen face turned red instantly.

"Ah! Murder! Help! Help me!" Jia Zhangshi screamed frantically.

When Qin Huairu saw her mother and her second and third aunts beating up Jia Zhangshi, her expression was complicated. She felt relieved, excited, and a little worried.

Ever since she married into the Jia family, she has wanted to beat up Jia Zhangshi all the time. She hopes that her mother, second aunt, and third aunt will not hurt Jia Zhangshi, otherwise no one will help her take care of the children.

"Clap clap, clap clap clap."

"You fat pig, how dare you bully my daughter? Today I'll show you that we country folk aren't so easily bullied."

Huai Ru's mother slapped her hand rapidly, each slap containing her overwhelming anger towards Jia Zhangshi and her disappointment in her daughter Qin Huai Ru.

"what!"

"How dare you hit me! I'll fight you to the death!"

With a loud roar, Jia Zhangshi pushed Huai Ru's mother to the ground with both hands. Then, she stretched out a pair of black claws and reached for Qin's mother's hair.

Qin's mother dodged Jia Zhangshi's claws, and with her other hand she grabbed Jia Zhangshi's hand tightly, making her unable to move.

At this moment, Huai Ru's mother quickly stood up from the ground and roared:

"Jia Zhangshi, how dare you fight back? Yuru, do it! Jingru, you're pregnant, don't come any closer!"

"oh."

When Qin Jingru saw her aunt being pushed to the ground by Jia Zhangshi, she felt an intense urge to rush over and fight alongside her mother and aunt. If she weren't pregnant and worried about something going wrong, she would have loved to rush over and fight alongside her mother and aunt.

The three Qin brothers were very anxious. Three against one, and they were still pushed down. They wished they could personally step in and beat this fat pig to a pulp. However, they were all grown men, and it wouldn't sound good if they went to hit a woman. Fortunately, they had brought enough people with them today, plus 15-year-old Yuru. Four against one, how could they not lose?

"Auntie, I'm here!"

Upon hearing her aunt's instructions, Qin Yuru rushed out of the crowd and instantly arrived in front of Jia Zhangshi, grabbing her other hand tightly.

She had heard at home that her older cousin, Qin Huairu, had been bullied like this, and she had long wanted to teach that fat pig a lesson.

Just then, Qin's mother and her second sister-in-law pulled Jia Zhangshi hard. Jia Zhangshi cried out in pain and fell to the ground. Huai Ru's mother rushed over at that moment, sat directly on Jia Zhangshi, and swung her hand wildly, slapping Jia Zhangshi's swollen face repeatedly.

"Clap clap clap, clap clap clap."

"Ah! Help! Old Man Yan, hurry and call the police! Go find Director Wang!"

Jia Zhangshi was beaten so badly that she screamed and was powerless to fight back. Now she could only seek help.

Yan Fugui smiled wryly and helplessly spread his hands: "Jia Zhangshi, this is your family matter, I can't interfere."

"What? Old Man Yan, you're the manager of this place, how can you just stand by and watch me get beaten up by an outsider? I'm going to report you to Director Wang!" Jia Zhangshi shouted.

Huai Ru's mother sneered, "You fat pig! You've bullied my daughter for so many years. Today we're here to get justice for her. No matter who you go to, it won't make a difference!"

"Qin Huairu, are you dead? Why aren't you pulling these crazy women away?" Jia Zhangshi shouted sternly.
