"I'm sorry, everyone. Actually, what I said just now was just a joke. There is nothing between Huairu and the old man. I was just making it up."

Jia Zhang's somewhat awkward words echoed in the courtyard, causing the crowd, who were originally quite excited, to become silent in an instant.

Liu Haizhong was the first to react. He looked at Jia Zhang in surprise and said:

"Ms. Jia Zhang, did I hear you correctly? Are you saying that everything you just said was a joke?"

"Yes." Jia Zhang scratched the back of her head, "Because Huairu actually dared to hit me just now, I was so angry that I said such brainless words in the heat of the moment. I'm sorry."

After saying that, everyone was in an uproar again, but this time the target was no longer Qin Huairu, but Jia Zhang who was making a fool of them.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what are you talking about? Do you know that you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want?"

"That's right. I'm also sick in the head. I actually believed what you said. If I believe a word you say again next time, I will take your last name!"

"I was wondering how it is possible that a man as upright as Mr. Yi is having an affair with Qin Huairu."

"And He Yuliang, who became the deputy director of the cafeteria at such a young age. How could such a young talent fall in love with a widow?"

...............

Amidst all the voices of condemnation, He Yuliang was the only one who did not join the army condemning Jia Zhang. Instead, he sat on the chair and looked coldly at Jia Zhang who was about to be drowned in saliva.

I didn't expect that, Jia Zhang, you really hate yourself so much. I admire you.

He Yuliang applauded Jia Zhang in his heart. Not everyone has the determination to cut off one's own arm.

You have to know that when Jia Zhang said this, she ruined her already limited reputation, and also her past credibility.

After this incident, Jia Zhang really became a rat crossing the street in the yard. She used to have people paying attention to her, but now she is probably completely alone.

Not only that, there is another very serious consequence, which is that no one will believe what Jia Zhang says in the future.

This is no trivial matter. If a person wants to survive in society, he must have a good reputation.

A person who is full of lies cannot survive in this society, because everything you say and all the promises you make will be regarded as bullshit.

Jia Zhang's move was to break the impasse at the cost of her second half of life, which meant that she would be completely dependent on Qin Huairu in the future.

In the past, if Qin Huairu wanted to remarry, Jia Zhang could put pressure on her by crying in the yard.

But after such a commotion, everyone took your words as nonsense, and Jia Zhang lost her last means of restricting Qin Huairu.

Didn't Jia Zhang know the consequences of doing this? Of course he knew, but as he said, there was no other way, he could only use this trick, because she fell into He Yuliang's trap.

When Jia Zhang realized that she had been deceived, there were only three options before her.

One is to pretend that he has not been fooled and continue to insist that Qin Huairu has an affair with Yi Zhonghai and He Yuliang.

The price they paid was that their family's reputation was completely ruined, and Bang Geng's future would be affected as well. They also offended Yi Zhonghai, the person who helped their family the most in the compound.

The second way is to put all the blame on He Yuliang, saying that it was she who deceived him and that’s why things turned out like this.

If he did this, let's not talk about whether people would believe it or not. Just think about the fact that He Yuliang still has the leverage over Bang Geng in his hand. If he gets pushed into a corner, he will call the police and send Bang Geng to jail.

That would be the real end. Now Banggeng is their family's only hope, and Jia Zhangshi will not let anything happen to him.

Therefore, there is only one way left for Jia Zhang, and that is to take all the responsibility on herself. This is also the only solution.

Facing the accusations from everyone, Jia Zhangshi, like Qin Huairu just now, lowered her head and said nothing, with a hint of unwillingness to accept the accusations.

Liu Haizhong looked at the mess in front of him, slammed the table twice with his hands, and shouted: "Pa pa, be quiet!"

Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, Liu Haizhong glared at Jia Zhang who was always causing trouble for him, and said, "Since Jia Zhang has admitted that she was the one making trouble, I hereby declare that everyone should go..."

Just when Liu Haizhong wanted to end this farce and announce the adjournment of the meeting, a voice interrupted what Liu Haizhong was about to say.

"Wait, I have something else to say."

Everyone looked in the direction where the voice came from and found that the person speaking was none other than He Yuliang, one of the parties who had remained silent just now.

"Yuliang, what else do you want to say?" Although he was very unhappy that He Yuliang interrupted him, He Yuliang was the person involved and the deputy director of the cafeteria. This made Liu Haizhong, who was a fan of officials, patiently ask in a friendly manner.

He Yuliang ignored Liu Haizhong who looked kind, and instead looked at Yi Zhonghai who was sitting on the chair with a gloomy face, and said:

"Master, Jia Zhang has slandered us so much and caused irreparable damage to our reputation. Isn't it a bad idea to just brush it off like that?"

Yi Zhonghai had this idea a long time ago, but because of his uncle's face, he couldn't show too much pettiness. Now that He Yuliang brought it up, Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to say:

"That makes sense. We really can't just let Jia Zhang off so easily. Yuliang, what do you think we should do about this?"

He Yuliang also steadily caught the ball kicked back by Yi Zhonghai, raised the corner of his mouth, and said coldly:

"How about asking Jia Zhang to kowtow to each of us three times? What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence for a moment, and then there was an overwhelming roar of voices: "Kowtow, kowtow, kowtow."

This slogan contained the anger of the people in the courtyard who were played around by Jia Zhangshi and their resentment of being bullied by her all the time, so the voices of the people were particularly loud.

Even Jia Zhang was frightened by the surging public opinion. Her face turned pale and she subconsciously looked at Qin Huairu, but found that Qin Huairu turned her head away and pretended not to see her gaze.

Jia Zhang was still not giving up and looked to Yi Zhonghai for help, hoping that he would reject He Yuliang's proposal.

But she discovered in despair that Yi Zhonghai looked at her with a hint of excitement in his eyes, as if he thought He Yuliang's suggestion was a good one.

Finding herself isolated and helpless, Jia Zhang could only resort to one last method, which was the method the ancients liked to use most when faced with a problem they could not solve.

Pretending to be dizzy.
