Chapter 12 Slapping People in the Face: Jia Zhangshi

After much fuss, he finally got everything organized. Then, comparing it to the central courtyard corridor, he tried to estimate how big the courtyard should be. After much deliberation, his head was spinning, so he simply used his steps to roughly calculate the location and dimensions, preparing to go home and draw a plan to take a look.

After taking a quick look, Zhou Weiguo exited through the east courtyard gate and locked it. Looking up, he saw that the east courtyard gate was about 30 meters away from the main gate of the courtyard house.

As soon as Zhou Weiguo stepped into the courtyard, he ran into Yan Fugui standing at the gate again. This made Zhou Weiguo extremely uncomfortable, thinking: Doesn't this guy have to go to work?

He pretended not to see it and turned to the side to pass by.

Yan Fugui's small eyes darted around, and he reached out to grab him, shouting, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Who are you, barging into the yard like that?"

Zhou Weiguo sneered inwardly, dodging the attack and saying, "I don't know if you have bad eyesight or a bad memory. If you have bad eyesight, go use Zhenshi Blind; if you have a bad memory, drink six nuclear bombs." With that, he turned and disappeared into the courtyard.

How could Yan Fugui not know who this person was? The news had spread throughout the courtyard today that Sha Zhu's maternal uncle had come looking for him and had even beaten Sha Zhu up yesterday. Even Yi Zhonghai hadn't gotten away with it.

While he was still pondering what "cherishing blindness" and "six nuclear bombs" meant, Zhou Weiguo had already entered the Intermediate People's Court.

When he realized what was happening, annoyance immediately appeared on his face, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey! You little brat!" But when he looked over, Zhou Weiguo had already disappeared from sight.

He stomped his foot, spat in the direction Zhou Weiguo had disappeared, and muttered, "Just you wait, you'll see!"

Then, he turned and walked into the yard, plotting how to teach this new "troublemaker" a lesson.

As Zhou Weiguo entered the central courtyard, he witnessed the so-called famous scene once again: Qin Huairu was still occupying the pool in the central courtyard, washing something, and a middle-aged woman who was as fat as a pig was sitting in front of the west wing, sewing shoe soles.

When Qin Huairu saw Zhou Weiguo enter the courtyard, she wiped her hands on her clothes and then approached him with an overly familiar expression, saying, "Um, you must be Sha Zhu's maternal uncle, right? You didn't explain clearly when you came into the courtyard yesterday. I thought you were looking for Sha Zhu to cook a feast for you."

Before Zhou Weiguo could speak, Jia Zhangshi, who was sitting to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and stood up, saying, "Hey, Qin Huairu, what are you doing? I'm still alive! You're flirting with a pretty boy right in front of me, aren't you? Let me tell you, Qin Huairu, you were born a member of the Jia family, and you'll die a ghost of the Jia family, do you hear me? And you pretty boy too! Sigh..."

Just as Jia Zhangshi, who had been held back by Qin Huairu, was about to explode, Qin Huairu whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi's expression immediately changed, and she walked over cheerfully, saying, "Um, um, brother..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's expression changed. Good heavens, a middle-aged woman was calling him "brother"?

At this moment, seeing Zhou Weiguo take two steps back, Jia Zhangshi actually took two steps forward and said, "Brother, talk to your nephew. Look at our Jia family, one person working supports several of us; it's really not easy. Shazhu is your nephew, so as an elder, you should ask him to help our Jia family more, especially about that lunchbox thing Yi Zhonghai mentioned. Have him start bringing us lunchboxes tomorrow, and remember to bring at least two meat dishes a day. You'll definitely get your share of benefits in the future."

Zhou Weiguo looked at Jia Zhangshi in front of him and felt speechless. Just like in the novels, Jia Zhangshi was simply like a fool. There was really nothing to say to this kind of person.

At this moment, Yan Fugui and several elderly women from the courtyard who weren't working came out, pointing and whispering about the two of them. Yan Fugui, however, looked at Zhou Weiguo with a wicked grin, muttering, "Serves you right for being so tactless. See how you've been taught a lesson?"

He suppressed his annoyance and forced a smile, saying, "Whether your family is struggling or not has nothing to do with me. Whether Zhu Zi is willing to help or not is his own business. You can talk to him yourself." He turned to leave, but Jia Zhangshi blocked his way like a leech.

With her hands on her hips, Jia Zhangshi's plump cheeks flushed red with agitation as she hurled insults, "How can you, as an elder, not understand human language? Do you know that if it weren't for the help of us neighbors back then, your silly Zhu and that good-for-nothing would have starved to death long ago! Like father, like son, the whole family is heartless, a bunch of rotten seeds!"

Zhou Weiguo hadn't intended to cause a scene since he was new to the courtyard house, but since Jia Zhangshi had already laid out her reasons, he couldn't be blamed for losing his temper.

Zhou Weiguo turned around abruptly, slapped away Jia Zhangshi's fat hand that was blocking his way, and pointed at her nose, saying, "You fat pig, if you've got the guts, say what you just said again!"

Upon hearing this man dare to call her a fat pig, Jia Zhangshi's face instantly turned a deep liver color. Her cloudy eyes widened, and she pointed at Zhou Weiguo, screaming, "This is outrageous! You, an outsider, dare to bully me in our yard? I'll scratch you to death!"

After saying that, he pounced on Zhou Weiguo and grabbed at him.

Zhou Weiguo deliberately took a slight step back, and with a "rip," his clothes were torn, leaving a bloody gash on his chest. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Zhou Weiguo subconsciously took a half step back, but in reality, he gathered strength in his right hand and swung it with all his might, aiming directly at Jia Zhangshi's face.

With a loud "smack," the entire courtyard fell silent, and Zhou Weiguo promptly lay down on the ground.

The slap sent Jia Zhangshi spinning around, before she sat down on the ground, completely bewildered.

Zhou Weiguo lay on the ground and began to howl at the top of his lungs: "Help! There's a bully in the courtyard! Someone's ganging up on the new residents!"

Just then, a small figure pushed through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed in.

Seeing Zhou Weiguo lying on the ground, her eyes turned red, and she rushed over. Zhou Weiguo looked and realized it was Xiaoyushui who had returned.

Looking at her chest, Xiaoyushui was on the verge of tears. She whispered a few words in Yushui's ear.

After hearing this, Xiaoyushui bit her lip and nodded hard. Then she stood up and ran out of the yard.

Meanwhile, Jia Zhangshi, still staring blankly at her numb face, felt something in her mouth and spat out a pool of blood and two large yellow teeth.

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi finally calmed down. Feeling her swollen face, she let out a pig-like scream: "Murder! This bastard has killed someone! All the neighbors in the courtyard, please be the judge! Old Jia, come up here and take this beast away from me!"
