Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

No one came forward to comfort Qin Jingru's crying because no one wanted to be blamed by the Jia family. At the same time, Qin Huairu was sent to the Nanluoguxiang Street Office by the security department when she got off work.

In the street office, Qin Huairu was crying, and the security department of the steel rolling mill next to her reported what happened to Qin Huairu in the factory today to the street office. Director Wang looked at Qin Huairu with disappointment.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to quibble at this time. Director Wang sighed and said, "Qin Huairu, what can I say about you! Why can't you focus on your work? Isn't a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan enough to cover the expenses of your children?"

Qin Huairu could only cover her face and cry. Director Wang said to the factory security department, "Sorry to bother you, comrades. Our street office has already learned about Qin Huairu's situation. We will parade Qin Huairu through the streets on Sunday!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, the security department went back. When Qin Huairu heard that she was going to be paraded through the streets, she knelt on the ground and begged Director Wang not to parade her through the streets.

Director Wang ordered the clerks to pull Qin Huairu up. The two clerks were very strong and pulled Qin Huairu up in no time.

Director Wang said angrily, "Qin Huairu, stand up, don't kneel! Our comrades sacrificed their lives to bring us equality today, and now you are not allowed to kneel down! You should think about the punishment for what you have done. It's useless for you to beg me now. Our street office also follows the rules!"

Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly lost their luster. She recalled how she had married into the courtyard house at the age of 18, when she had Dongxu's love, Shazhu's attentiveness, Xu Damao's lecherous eyes on her, and Yi Zhonghai's desire for her family to take care of him in his old age. Why had everyone changed now...

Director Wang from the Street Office ordered someone to take Qin Huairu back to Compound No. 95, and he followed behind.

Inside the courtyard, after watching the hustle and bustle of the Jia family, every household started discussing Qin Huairu's affairs. The men who worked in the steel rolling mill in the courtyard were warned by their wives not to get close to Qin Huairu.

Director Wang brought Qin Huairu and two clerks from the street office to the courtyard. Yan Bugui looked at Director Wang angrily and immediately went home.

Director Wang pulled a neighbor over and asked him to notify everyone to hold a hospital-wide meeting. Soon everyone brought their stools and sat in the central courtyard.

Director Wang slapped the table and said, "Your courtyard has become very famous recently. First, the children of the Jia family stole public property and then stole chickens from the courtyard. Today, Qin Huairu from the Jia family even behaved like a hooligan towards a male comrade at the steel mill."

Everyone looked at Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu viciously, and the two of them lowered their heads when they were stared at.

Director Wang paused and said, "Due to what Qin Huairu did at the steel mill, although the factory has punished her, the street will also punish her! Qin Huairu! Now the street's punishment for you is to parade you through the streets this weekend! At the same time, I warn everyone present, don't make any mistakes!"

After that, Director Wang left with two colleagues from the street office. When everyone saw Director Wang was gone, they all went back too. At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family were left in the compound.

Jia Zhang took the initiative to rush over and scratch Qin Huairu, leaving two bloody marks on Qin Huairu's face. Seeing that Qin Huairu did not fight back, Jia Zhang wanted to rush over again, but was pushed away by Qin Jingru next to her.

Jia Zhang fell to the ground and began to summon the soul, "Dongxu, please come back soon to see your wife, this slut! She brought shame to you in the factory! Old Jia, please come back soon to see her, your daughter-in-law has been a troublemaker since you left..."

Just as Jia Zhang was summoning the spirits, Qin Huairu suddenly shouted, "Enough! Go home and argue if you want to!"

When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu dared to speak to her like that, she rushed over and wanted to hit Qin Huairu.

Unfortunately, Qin Huairu will not give her a chance this time. Qin Huairu has been feeling aggrieved all day. Now Qin Huairu has realized that she has always wanted to be a daughter-in-law with a good reputation, and she doesn't want to pretend herself today.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang who was rushing towards her and kicked her. Before Jia Zhang could react, she was knocked to the ground by Qin Huairu. When she was about to curse, Qin Huairu slapped her in the face.

Qin Huairu beat Jia Zhang while saying, "I told you to eat good food every day and to bully me. I have been married to you for so many years and you have been bullying me. You call me Lao Jia and Dongxu every day, right? I am going to beat you to death today! Go down to see your Dongxu and Lao Jia." As she spoke, Qin Huairu beat her even harder.

Jia Zhang had been fighting back at the beginning, but now she was being beaten unilaterally. Seeing that Qin Huairu had no intention of stopping, Jia Zhang started to howl again, "Come out and help me, I'm going to be beaten to death by Qin Huairu, you bunch of heartless guys, come out and help me, Qin Huairu is going to beat me to death..."

Jia Zhang shouted for a long time but no one in the yard came out to help. They all closed their doors and watched the fun. People in the backyard hid behind the moon gate, and people in the front yard hid by the wall.

Qin Huairu beat her for more than ten minutes, and Jia Zhang's cries for help became weaker and weaker. In the end, Jia Zhang was so scared by Qin Huairu's beating that she said, "Qin Huairu, please stop hitting me! Huairu! Huairu, I beg you, please let me go, please..."

Qin Huairu still ignored Jia Zhangshi. She felt that her hands were hurting so she got a branch from the side and started beating Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi cried out in pain and blood was left after each beating.

Qin Huairu had already lost her mind at this time, and only wanted to beat Jia Zhang to death. She believed that all the bad things in the Jia family were caused by this damn old woman. She had heard Dongxu say before that her father-in-law lost his life because of Jia Zhang's greed, and the food her husband saved every day went into the mouth of this old woman, and now Banggeng was also spoiled by this old woman...

Qin Huairu was beating Jia Zhang until she stopped moving. Qin Huairu dropped the whip in her hand and took Qin Jingru back to the Jia residence with an expressionless face, ignoring Jia Zhang who was lying on the ground.

And of course our Jia Zhang was pretending to be dead. This trick had worked many times for Jia Zhang. During the Republic of China period, Jia Zhang had gained countless advantages by using this trick. Seeing Qin Huairu walking away, Jia Zhang lay on the ground gasping for breath.

After Qin Huairu returned home, she saw her two daughters looking at her in fear. Qin Huairu touched her two daughters' heads, then hugged them and began to cry bitterly.

Qin Jingru, who was standing next to her, also started crying when she saw her sister like this. She didn't know why her sister became like this after coming to the city... Qin Jingru's idea of ​​marrying into the city began to waver. Sometimes, maybe it would be nice for her to live in the village.

At the Yi family, Huang Yulan looked at Jia Zhang lying on the ground from the window and said, "Master, could it be that Jia Zhang was beaten to death by Qin Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Impossible, this fat old woman couldn't have her stomach bulging like a toad after being beaten to death. She is pretending to be dead. If she doesn't pretend to be dead, Qin Huairu might really have made her sick."

Huang Yulan: "Qin Huairu is really cruel."

Yi Zhonghai: "How can I explain this kind of thing? There is a cause and effect relationship, but of course, what's more important is what kind of person Qin Huairu wants to be in her heart."
