Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): Don't touch my parents!

She was pondering to herself,

A piercing cry of "Dongxu—" suddenly shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.

Jia Zhangshi's round, plump body shot straight into the backyard like a cannonball.

I immediately saw my son writhing in pain on the snow.

She hurriedly squatted down, and even her voice changed completely:

"Dongxu, who did this? Tell Mom quickly!"

"Mom will definitely stand up for you and skin that brat alive!"

Jia Dongxu desperately covered his crotch with one hand.

With his other hand, he pointed tremblingly to the tightly closed door of Xu Damao's house.

The pain was so intense that I couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

He could only manage intermittent, painful gasps from between his teeth.

"You damned Xu Damao! I'm going to fight you to the death today!"

The fat on Jia Zhangshi's face trembled violently with rage.

She grabbed a shovel that was leaning against the corner of the wall.

He swung it, intending to smash it hard against the Xu family's gate.

Xu Damao's mother, Xu Zhao, also rushed over at this time.

She ignored the throbbing pain in her face from the wound.

He grabbed the feather duster and rushed forward.

They confronted Jia Zhangshi head-on.

He Yuzhu reacted quickly, stepping forward to block Jia Zhangshi's path.

"Aunt Jia, please calm down! Calm down first!"

Dongxu is still injured; the most important thing is to take him to the clinic as soon as possible!

"Get out of my way!"

Jia Zhangshi pushed hard.

He Yuzhu fell backward and landed heavily on the snow.

The cry of "Ouch!" was remarkably realistic.

Although he faked the fall on purpose, I was still secretly shocked:

That old lady has such incredible strength!

The shovel was about to smash hard against the door.

A loud "bang" suddenly exploded.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Damao's panicked shouts came from inside the house:

"Oh my god!"

"Zhang Ruhua, how dare you bang on my door? I'm not finished with you!"

Xu Zhao's feather duster struck Jia Zhang's buttocks squarely.

The pain made her body lurch to the side, and she staggered a few steps.

"So what if I smash it? I'll smash the door, and you too!"

Jia Zhangshi roared, raising the shovel high, ready to smash it down on Xu Zhaoshi's head.

Madam Xu Zhao was so frightened that she froze on the spot.

Jia Zhangshi usually just talks a big game.

Why did you suddenly get serious today?

If that shovel really hits the target, it could easily kill someone!

"Zhu Zi, come quickly and help Grandma over there!"

The deaf old woman's voice came from the side.

She dared not let her grandson go up and forcefully stop him—

If that shovel had hit someone, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Say it's too late, then it's fast,

A snowball suddenly flew over from nowhere.

With a "smack," it struck Jia Zhangshi's arm squarely.

Her wrist jerked violently.

The shovel grazed Xu Zhao's arm and slammed hard into the snow.

A large cloud of icy, bone-chilling snowflakes splashed up.

Madam Xu patted her chest hurriedly, panting heavily:

"My God, that scared me to death, that scared me to death..."

I almost lost my life!

The recoil from the shovel hitting the ground brought Jia Zhangshi back to her senses.

That was really dangerous!

If it were just a little bit off, Ms. Xu would definitely have to go to the hospital.

She turned to look at her son and saw that he seemed to have recovered somewhat.

He immediately dropped the shovel and rushed forward to help Jia Dongxu.

She wanted to slip away before Xu Zhaoshi could fully recover—

I was so anxious just now that I was terrified that my son's manhood would be seriously injured and the Jia family line would end.

That's why I acted so impulsively and did something so ruthless.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Zhang Ruhua, you stop right there!"

"So my words don't carry any weight now, huh? You dare to hit someone with a shovel?"

The deaf old woman, leaning on her cane, spoke with an undeniable air of authority.

It sounded exceptionally clear and loud in the silent snow.

"They didn't actually hit anyone, did they? Besides, it was Xu Damao from his family who struck first!"

Jia Zhangshi stubbornly argued and sophistry.

But his eyes involuntarily darted away, unable to look the old lady in the eye.

"You dare talk back?"

Madam Jia immediately wilted and dared not utter another sound.

How could she dare offend this old lady?

Putting aside the fact that their house was rented,

Just take He Daqing, whom the old lady treated like her own son.

That's enough to make her suffer.

That's the kind of person who'll act on a whim.

Regardless of age or gender, no one will be shown the slightest leniency.

"Wangcai's family, what do you think we should do about this?"

The deaf old lady turned her head and slowly asked Xu Zhaoshi.

"Grandma, you decide. We'll all listen to you."

Although Xu Zhao was still seething with anger,

But thinking about Jia Zhangshi's reckless ruthlessness just now, he felt a little scared.

They could only obediently come down the steps.

Zhao Cuifeng finally came to her senses at this point.

She originally wanted to go up and argue with Jia Zhangshi a bit more.

But upon seeing the other party's ferocious, man-eating posture,

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.

"Young man Jia, move around a bit, see if it still hurts?"

The deaf old lady looked at Jia Dongxu again and asked in a deep voice.

"No...it doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Jia Dongxu originally intended to take the opportunity to extort money from the Xu family.

As a result, Jia Zhangshi pinched her waist hard.

The pain made him quickly and honestly tell the truth.

"That's enough for today, everyone disperse!"

What's all this noise so early in the morning?

If someone really dies, then the police will come into the yard and investigate house by house.

Then nobody will have peace!

The deaf old woman slammed her cane down heavily.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present, his tone carrying a clear warning.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Several people responded in unison.

This sudden storm has finally subsided for the time being.

"Alright, everyone go home and do what you're supposed to do!"

All they do all day is cause trouble for the yard!

The deaf old lady waved her hand.

Leaning on his cane, he slowly turned and walked back.

The hunched back left a trail of deep and shallow marks on the snow.

Madam Jia, supporting Jia Dongxu, slowly made their way home.

He kept muttering to himself, still unwilling to accept defeat, and said he would settle accounts with Xu Damao later.

Xu Zhaoshi picked up the shovel from the ground.

He shouted loudly at his front door, "Da Mao, open the door!"

"Clang—Squeak—"

The Xu family's gate slowly opened.

Xu Damao cautiously peeked out his little head.

She was immediately shoved back hard by Madam Xu.

"Mom, I want to go play with Brother Zhu..."

Xu Damao rubbed his sore shoulder and muttered under his breath.

But Madam Zhao had no time to pay attention to him.

As soon as the door is closed, a new round of nagging and scolding begins.

"What's the point of playing anymore? If it weren't for you, your mother would have almost lost her life!"

Before she finished speaking, she threw down the shovel, turned around, and slammed the door shut.
