The Courtyard House: Xu Damao's Aunt is the Queen of Women

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

This humiliating treaty that ceded national sovereignty... no, it was an unequal treaty that ceded national sovereignty and dignity. Even Li Hongzhang wouldn't dare sign it, yet Sha Zhu actually agreed to it. It's like a small knife pulling a big hole, showing them how big their eyes are.

"There's definitely something wrong with the He family's ancestral graves. Back then, Sha Zhu's grandfather had an affair with a widow and was beaten up several times by Sha Zhu's grandmother's family. In the end, he simply ran away with the widow. Sha Zhu's biological father, He Daqing, was even more shameless, abandoning his children and running away with the widow. Now Sha Zhu is the same. Three generations of the family have fallen into the hands of widows. It's truly a case of one generation passing the same wickedness down to the next!"

"No way, Grandpa Silly Pillar ran off with the widow too? That's so weird!"

"Wow, that gluttonous widow's taste is hereditary; three generations of her family have loved it. It really proves the old saying, 'Like begets like,' and 'A rat's son knows how to dig a hole!'"

"The He family has fallen into the hands of a widow and is doomed."

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. Sha Zhu is almost thirty years old, if he gets involved with Widow Qin again, he can forget about getting married in this lifetime."

"Get a wife? What family would marry their good daughter to Sha Zhu? Just hearing Sha Zhu's name brings bad luck."

Listening to the hushed discussions of the onlookers, Liu Hao, standing at the back of the crowd, looked strange and was greatly shocked. So Grandpa Shazhu also had his eye on the widow?

Ye Juan clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "I've never seen anything like this before! I've heard of inherited looks and inherited abilities, but I've never seen anyone inherit a gluttonous widow's taste. This ancestral hobby of Sha Zhu's family has been passed down from generation to generation, and it just doesn't go astray!"

Liu Hao laughed and said, "Haha, the world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders. I'm off to go home and cook."

As the crowd dispersed, the couple walked inside. When they passed by Jia Zhangshi, she saw the chicken and meat in Liu Hao's hand, and a greedy glint appeared in her triangular eyes.

"Oh dear, Accountant Liu! You bought so much meat, are you sure you can finish it all?"

"Your aunt was sick yesterday, and today the house collapsed, almost crushing my Jia family's precious grandson, Bangji, inside."

"My family is in such dire straits, you surely wouldn't have the heart to do this. Besides, our neighborhood tradition is to respect the elderly and care for the young. Please share half of the meat with my family..."

As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she reached out to snatch the pork belly from Liu Hao's hand.

Ye Juan slapped Jia Zhangshi's hand away and said coldly, "Get lost! Go buy it yourself if you want to eat!"

Jia Zhangshi withdrew her hand, glared with her triangular eyes, and reflexively opened her mouth to curse.

"You little bitch, how dare you hit me..."

Ye Juan kicked Jia Zhangshi in the stomach, sending her sprawling on the ground.

"Get lost! I'll not only hit you, I'll kick you, and I'll smash your stinking mouth!"

"You want half of it right off the bat? Aren't you afraid of choking? I'd rather feed it to the dog than give it to you, you glutton!"

"you……"

Jia Zhangshi struggled to get up, and before she could speak, Ye Juan stepped forward and slapped her across the face.

Snapped!

Ye Juan had a large appetite and was very strong, even stronger than Sha Zhu. After being slapped by her, Jia Zhangshi staggered a few steps and fell to the ground with a thud. She stared at Ye Juan with wide eyes and covered her face, her head buzzing.

Last night, she had a high fever and didn't see Ye Juan angrily cursing Yi Zhonghai, kicking Liu Guangtian away, and then hitting Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with a bamboo stick.

So in her memory, Ye Juan was still that gentle, harmless little lamb.

But when had Jia Zhangshi ever suffered such a loss? She grabbed the stick beside her and smashed it on Ye Juan's head.

"You damned little whore, I..."

Ye Juan dodged, holding the net bag in her left hand and clamping Jia Zhangshi's right hand holding the stick with her right hand, twisting it backwards.

With a thud, the stick hit the ground. Jia Zhangshi cried out in pain, and Ye Juan kicked her in the stomach, knocking her to the ground. Ye Juan then bent down, picked up the stick, and began to beat her mercilessly.

"Damn it, you stinky mouth, you stinky mouth!"

"Ah!! Help!! Murder!!! Murder!"

Jia Zhangshi was beaten until she rolled on the ground, screaming for help in anguish.

Ye Juan was really hitting her; every blow landed squarely on her skin. She kept asking questions as she hit her.

"Tell me, who is the whore? Who is the slut?"

"Aww!! I am!! Waaaaah! I'm a whore, I'm a slut! Aww!!!"

"Speak louder!"

"Waaaah... I, Zhang Xiaohua, am a slut! I, Zhang Xiaohua, am a whore! Qin Huairu is a slut too!"

Qin Huairu: ? ? ?

Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, and others wanted to step forward to stop them, but they didn't dare.

Because Liu Hao was staring at them with a blank expression!

The group of people took a half step back in unison, and Sha Zhu even subconsciously covered his face.

Yi Zhonghai quickly gave Qin Huairu a meaningful look, and Qin Huairu immediately stepped forward, crying, "This... Accountant Liu, I'll apologize to your mother-in-law, please don't hit me! Waaah!"

Liu Hao frowned, took a step back, and snapped, "Stop! Don't come any closer!"

Are you serious about taking a step back? Am I, Qin Huairu, really that disgusting to you?

Feeling deeply humiliated, Qin Huairu gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Accountant Liu, please tell Ye Juan to stop hitting her..."

"Juan'er, don't kill the robber. Let's call the police to arrest him."

Ye Juan's eyes lit up, and she readily dropped the stick.

"Yes, report this to the police and have this robber arrested and thrown in jail!"

Qin Huairu was stunned, Yi Zhonghai and the others were dumbfounded, and the onlookers were speechless.

Lying on the ground, Jia Zhangshi was so angry that her vision blurred and she almost fainted.

All I did was ask you for some meat, and not only did you refuse, you beat me up.

I can tolerate being beaten up, but you actually want to call the police to have me arrested and imprisoned?

Seeing the large crowd, Yi Zhonghai felt emboldened and stepped forward, saying with a pained expression, "Accountant Liu, you can't be so unreasonable and domineering! Jia Zhangshi was just asking you for some meat. If you weren't willing to give it to her, fine, but why did you have to hit her?"

"Moreover, the Jia family is already struggling with the orphans and widows, and now such a big thing has happened. Anyone with a conscience would sympathize and lend a helping hand."

"The neighbors are watching. Aren't you afraid of being labeled selfish, cold-blooded, and ruthless? Who will dare to associate with you after that!"

Hearing this extremely disgusting fallacy, Ye Juan laughed in anger and raised her finger to confront Yi Zhonghai, but was pulled back by Liu Hao.

"Yi Zhonghai, you grabbed something without my permission, is that what you call discussion?"

"As for the difficulties you mentioned regarding the Jia family, I don't think so."

"Look at the Jia family members, they're all plump and healthy, with no patches on their clothes. They don't look like people struggling financially at all!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the onlookers all turned to look at Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua.

In this era of food and clothing shortages and scarcity of resources, it was truly rare to see people with such large heads and ears as Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi.

Poverty can be faked, but how can you fake eating well?

Seeing the situation was turning sour, Yi Zhonghai forced himself to say, "It was Zhu Zi's kind heart that helped the Jia family, allowing them to have enough to eat. Everyone saw that!"

"Yes, I saw it, but I still don't believe the Jia family is in trouble. How about we make a bet?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt a pang of unease, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

Don't bet with Liu Hao, there's definitely a conspiracy!

Yi Zhonghai may be shrewd and calculating, but he can't overcome having incompetent teammates.

Sha Zhu, confident he could beat Liu Hao as long as it wasn't a fight, immediately jumped out and asked, "What are we betting on? I'll bet with you!"

Oh no, we've fallen into their trap!

Yi Zhonghai's expression changed drastically, and he was about to stop him when Liu Hao spoke up.

"We'll search the Jia family's house. If we find more than 1000 yuan, Sha Zhu, you give me 1000 yuan. If we don't find anything, I'll still give you 1000 yuan, and we'll exchange the west wing of the house with the Jia family!"

"Do you dare to bet?"
