Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Qin Huairu felt a sense of satisfaction watching Jia Zhangshi being brutally beaten by her mother and the others. She didn't say a word throughout the entire ordeal, nor did she step forward to intervene.

It's clear that her mother, second aunt, and third aunt didn't hit her too hard. As long as they didn't break Jia Zhangshi's legs and didn't interfere with picking up and dropping off Banggeng at school, everything would be fine.

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's cries for help, she could no longer pretend not to know, otherwise Jia Zhangshi would definitely cause a huge scene after her parents left.

Thinking of this, she quickly went to her father and said with a pitiful expression, "Dad, my mother-in-law still has to help me take care of the children every day. Please forgive her. If you hurt my mother-in-law, there will be no one to take care of Banggeng and Xiaodang."

"Shut up."

Qin Changshun roared, staring coldly at Qin Huairu, and shouted sharply:

"You better stay put and behave yourself. If you dare to break up the fight, I'll beat you to death. After I've taught this fat bastard a lesson, I'll settle the score with you later."

Seeing her father's anger today, Qin Huairu finally became afraid. She wiped away her tears and dared not plead anymore. She could only stay where she was obediently.

Her father rarely spoke from childhood to adulthood, but when he got angry, it was no joke.

"Help! Help! Murder! Help me!"

Jia Zhangshi's heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the courtyard, and people rushed out of their homes, drawing a growing crowd.

Suddenly, Jia Zhangshi saw Yi Zhonghai hiding in the crowd, not stepping forward to break up the fight. She immediately shouted:

"Yi Zhonghai, you're the oldest man in this compound, how can you just stand by and watch an outsider beat up my old woman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three Qin brothers, along with Qin Dashan, Qin Dashun, and Qin Dawei, all looked towards the crowd.

Upon seeing the six men's fierce gazes, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped out from the crowd, shrugged, and gave a dry laugh, saying:

"Please continue, everyone. Although I am the head of the courtyard, this is a family matter for you. We are at most just neighbors, and I can't interfere in this matter. Moreover, Jia Zhangshi has indeed been bullying Huairu for many years. It is only reasonable for Huairu's family to seek justice for her."

When Jia Zhangshi saw that Yi Zhonghai not only didn't try to stop the fight but also added fuel to the fire, she immediately started cursing:

"Yi Zhonghai, you wretched childless wretch! You actually don't care about your old mother? You deserve to die without a family line! I curse you to death, and no one will even break a basin for you. You'll be eaten alive after you die! Ah! Stop hitting me! Go easy, go easy!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, veins bulged on his forehead, and his fists clenched tightly, as if he wanted to tear Jia Zhangshi to shreds.

He hated nothing more than being told that he had no descendants. Not only did Jia Zhangshi call him childless, she also cursed him. How could he not hate her? If it weren't for all the people in the courtyard watching, he would have wanted to stomp on Jia Zhangshi a few times.

Just then, a roar echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

"Stop it, all of you!"

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Liu Haizhong running over from the backyard.

Instead of stopping, Huai Ru's mother and Jing Ru's mother became even more ruthless, slapping Jia Zhangshi's face as if it were free. The most insidious one was Yu Ru, who held Jia Zhangshi down with one hand and scratched her face with the other. Jia Zhangshi was scratched twice, and now her whole face was almost scratched raw.

"Who are you people? How dare you come to our compound and beat people up in broad daylight? Stop right now, or I'll call the police!"

Liu Haizhong pushed aside two residents and squeezed into the crowd. He saw Jia Zhangshi being beaten on the ground. He was furious. Beating Jia Zhangshi was a small matter, but his second uncle had already told them to stop, yet they were still beating her. That meant they were not giving him any face.

When Jia Zhangshi saw that Liu Haizhong had stood up for her, she was overjoyed.

Qin Changshun and his six companions then looked at Liu Haizhong and asked in a deep voice, "This is a matter between my Qin family and the Jia family. What? You want to stand up for Jia Zhangshi?"

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to speak, Yan Fugui came to his side and whispered:

"Old Liu, don't meddle in other people's business. These people are Qin Huairu's parents and family. If you meddle and get beaten up, don't blame me for not warning you."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong, seeing the unfriendly looks from Qin Changshun and his six companions, immediately wilted and gave an awkward laugh:

"You can continue, continue. Since this is your family matter, it's none of my business."

Seeing that the steward had given in, the six men snorted and turned their attention to Jia Zhangshi.

When Jia Zhangshi saw that Liu Haizhong was also a coward, she was filled with despair.

Just then, Banggeng pulled Xiaodang and ran over from the backyard. When he squeezed into the crowd and saw four women beating his grandmother, his face immediately turned fierce.

"Grandma! You bunch of dead children, how dare you hit my grandma! I'll beat you to death!"

Banggeng roared and quickly picked up a small stone from the ground, then threw it at Huairu's mother.

"No way!"

Qin Huairu exclaimed in surprise, but it was too late to stop her.

The little stone missed its mark and hit Jia Zhangshi squarely on the forehead instead of Huai Ru's mother.

"Ouch."

Blood immediately flowed from Jia Zhangshi's forehead, causing her to scream in pain.

"My dear grandson! I'm your grandma! You silly goose, why are you hitting them? Why are you hitting your grandma?!"

"Grandma, I was the one hitting them, why didn't you dodge?" Bang shouted, sticking out his neck.

No one had time to react. Who would have thought that a seven-year-old child would pick up a stone and throw it at someone?

Seeing this, Qin Changshun quickly said to Qin Huairu, "Go and keep an eye on the sticks."

Before Qin Huairu could even answer her father's question, she quickly ran to Banggeng and hugged Banggeng and Xiaodang in her arms.

Qin Jingru was also frightened just now. Luckily, the stick missed its mark, otherwise it would have been her aunt who was bleeding from the head.

"Ouch! Ouch! Help! Help me! Someone's killing me! I'm going to die!"

Blood kept flowing from Jia Zhangshi's forehead, and soon a large bump swelled up on it. Combined with her red and swollen face, she looked extremely miserable.

Seeing this, Qin Changshun knew it was about time, and he spoke in a deep voice to Huai Ru's mother and the others:

"Stop."

After Huai Ru's mother, Jing Ru's mother, and the other three released Jia Zhangshi, they were all panting, but they were all in a very good mood.

Qin Changshun walked up to Jia Zhangshi from his superior position and said coldly, "Jia Zhangshi, today is just to teach you a lesson. If you dare to bully Huairu again in the future, it won't be so simple."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Qin Huairu, his face dark.

"Come with me to Jingru's house. If you don't explain things clearly today, I'll beat you to death."

"Yes, Dad."

Qin Huairu didn't dare to argue, so she told Banggeng to take Xiaodang back to the house, and then followed her father toward Wang Feng's house.
