Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

"Stop crying, or I'll really die!"

Jia Zhangshi lowered her voice and said, "Quickly, take me to the hospital for a check-up, otherwise you won't have a good time if I develop a chronic illness."

Even at this point, Qin Huairu was still concerned about saving face.

What are you even thinking about? Which is more important, human life or face?

Qin Huairu nodded, then turned to the three aunties for help: "Please lend a hand."

Seeing this, everyone rushed to help. Seven or eight people carried Jia Zhangshi out the door, but it was impossible to carry someone of Jia Zhangshi's large size all the way to the hospital; that would be exhausting.

So he asked He Daqing to go out and find a colleague, and then took Jia Zhangshi to the hospital.

"Hey, did we forget something?" The old woman watched the tricycle disappear into the alleyway, feeling that something was wrong.

"I haven't forgotten, hasn't Jia Zhangshi already boarded the carriage?"

"Hey, Jia Zhangshi is really cunning. She just tried to get me to get in the car and go to the hospital with her, but I'm not falling for it!"

Calling people to go to the hospital together—even a fool could guess what Jia Zhangshi was up to.

So none of the older women and young wives present were fooled.

"No, it seems Qin Huairu didn't go with them!" The third aunt realized something was wrong.

Even with Jia Zhangshi in such a state, Qin Huairu still doesn't go to the hospital?

"Hey, they're definitely trying to scam us!" an older woman said with certainty.

When their family had a good relationship with the Jia family, the old lady already knew what kind of people Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu were.

So Qin Huairu's decision not to go with them must have been a pre-arranged plan with Jia Zhangshi, with the aim of scheming against them.

"It's also possible that their son can't be left alone. Sigh, how did the Jia family end up like this!"

Back then, the Jia family, while not exactly all-powerful in the courtyard, was certainly someone no one dared to mess with.

Jia Zhangshi always looked down on people.

Not to mention Jia Dongxu, whose backer was an old man who never took Sha Zhu and Xu Damao seriously.

But now, Jia Dongxu has been beaten to death, and we don't know if Brother Hu and Brother Guang have been arrested. The Jia family has lost their house and jobs, and all that's left are two widows and their little kid, Bang Geng.

Moreover, Banggeng was forced to uninstall half of QQ recently, so whether he can continue to produce offspring for the Jia family in the future is unknown.

Think back to how Jia Zhangshi once mocked Yi Zhonghai for having no descendants; now the boomerang has hit her on the head.

"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"

Just as the old woman and the young wives were standing at the door listening to the crickets of the Jia family, the clear sound of a bicycle bell rang out in the alley.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person who came was actually Chen Jun.

"Oh dear, Chen Jun, you'd better hurry home and check on things. Jia Zhangshi has hanged herself in your house." The third aunt greeted Chen Jun and told him what had just happened in the yard.

Chen Jun was taken aback when he heard this.

What the hell?

Hang yourself?

Auntie Er was talking about stealing, how did it suddenly turn into hanging herself?

Could it be that he was caught stealing and is too ashamed to live anymore?

That shouldn't be the case. Given how thick-skinned Jia Zhangshi is, even if she were caught red-handed, it's highly unlikely she would hang herself.

"Where is he? Is he swinging on the swing in my room?" Chen Jun asked.

The three women shook their heads: "They didn't manage to hang him. It looks like he fell off. He's already on a tricycle to the hospital."

"You didn't see it, Jia Zhangshi's face was badly bruised from the fall, and her legs seemed to be injured as well. Anyway, she was in a terrible state."

That's pretty tragic?

Chen Jun snorted coldly, "This is nothing. There are even better things waiting for Jia Zhangshi."

Since Jia Zhangshi is so impatient, let's go inside and temper her temper.

Then, Chen Jun strode towards the backyard, and the older women, having nothing better to do, followed to watch the excitement.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they spotted Qin Huairu in Chen Jun's room.

hiss......

Is Qin Huairu cleaning the room?

Good guy!

The three aunties exclaimed, "Wow!"

No wonder Qin Huairu didn't go to the hospital with everyone; she was planning to sneak into Chen Jun's room and erase the evidence while everyone was busy!

They're far too cunning!

"Qin Huairu, what are you doing!"

Chen Jun shouted loudly, which startled Qin Huairu so much that she trembled.

"I...I...I..." Qin Huairu stammered, unable to say anything coherent, as if she had been frightened by Chen Jun.

But actually, Qin Huairu didn't know how to explain it.

She couldn't very well say that she was there to help Chen Jun clean up, could she?

Regardless of whether Chen Jun believed it or not, none of the three women present could possibly believe it.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? I'm asking you a question!" Chen Jun stepped into the room and asked Qin Huairu directly.

Qin Huairu panicked even more and instinctively covered her face, fearing that Chen Jun would also give her a hundred consecutive draws.

With Chen Jun's strength, Jia Zhangshi's face could barely withstand it; if it had hit her face, she would have been turned into a pig's head.

"I, I don't know either."

After holding it in for a long time, Qin Huairu finally managed to utter this sentence.

Chen Jun frowned upon hearing this, then pointed to the door and said, "Get out, or you'll be an accomplice of Jia Zhangshi in theft, covering up evidence of theft for her. Don't think that just because you're pregnant you're safe. You'll suffer just as much as if you were sent to the security department."

"I'm leaving! I'm leaving right now!"

Qin Huairu was worried that Jia Zhangshi would break through the fence, so she came to help Jia Zhangshi erase some evidence, but who would have thought that Chen Jun would return from the steel rolling mill at this time.

Since that was the case, Qin Huairu had no choice but to distance herself from the situation and slunk away.

Chen Jun glanced around the room and knew what had happened.

It must have been that Jia Zhangshi couldn't resist sneaking into his room to take the calligraphy. When she found it was missing, she started searching the whole room. Finally, she probably suspected that the calligraphy was hidden in the rafters, so she stacked tables and chairs, hoping to go up and take a look.

The woman's claim of hanging was probably just a guess based on what she saw on the tables and chairs.

He simply lost his footing and fell down.

"Waaah... Chen Jun, don't be angry. My mother-in-law is acting very strangely today. She started muttering early this morning that she didn't want to live anymore and wanted to go find Dongxu, so... so she tried to hang herself while no one was home." Qin Huairu's eyes were red as she tried to plead for Jia Zhangshi.

But before Chen Jun could say anything, Liu Haizhong's panting voice came from behind him.

"Wh...what?? Hang...hang yourself?"

Liu Haizhong was sweating profusely from running, with his second aunt following behind him.

Because they didn't have bicycles, Liu Haizhong and his wife were much slower than Chen Jun.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Jia Zhangshi is more afraid of death than anyone else, how could she possibly hang herself in Chen Jun's house!"
