Chapter 343: The Scheme Exposed, Madam Jia Panicked
Upon hearing the news, the two women, an older woman and an older woman, immediately went to find their husbands.
But unfortunately, none of them were in the yard today.
Yan Fugui regularly went fishing, Liu Haizhong went out drinking with other people, and Xu Damao's whereabouts were unknown.
However, upon hearing the news, Jia Zhangshi was terrified and didn't know what to do.
Seeing his mother rushing home in a panic, Jia Dongxu asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Madam Jia said to Jia Dongxu, "Oh no, oh no, son, what should I do?"
In addition, Jia Zhangshi told Jia Dongxu what she had said to those gossipy women.
Jia Dongxu looked at his mother, furious, and said, "Mom! What's wrong with you? How could you tell outsiders about something like this? Now you've not only told everyone, but you've also offended Xu Damao, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui. Our family will have an even harder time in the neighborhood from now on."
Jia Zhangshi said angrily, "I didn't want this to happen either. They're usually so good friends with me, and I thought it wouldn't hurt to talk about it. Besides, they all promised not to tell anyone. Who knew they would tell everyone so easily?"
Looking at his mother, Jia Dongxu felt utterly exhausted and didn't know what to do.
However, Qin Huairu in the courtyard was overjoyed when she heard the news.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she was certain that He Daqing had done it, since no one would help her for no reason.
Dinner time arrived quickly.
Yan Fugui carried his bucket, which contained two small fish about a foot long, and walked home happily.
But from the gate of the courtyard to the front yard, everyone looked at him very strangely.
Yan Fugui was puzzled. What was going on?
Before Yan Fugui even got home, his wife Yang Ruihua quickly pulled him inside and told him that their scheme against Qin Huairu had been exposed.
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui was immediately incredulous and looked at his wife, saying, "Who the hell told the scoundrels?"
Yang Ruihua also shook her head, indicating that she did not know, it was just that everyone was talking about it suddenly.
Yan Fugui quickly put down his fishing rod and bucket and asked, "Is Liu Haizhong in the yard?"
Yang Ruihua shook his head, indicating that he was not there.
Yan Fugui couldn't wait any longer and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
Just as I stepped outside, I bumped into Liu Haizhong, who was coming back.
Without further ado, Yan Fugui quickly pulled Liu Haizhong to a secluded spot and told him what had happened in the courtyard.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Haizhong angrily exclaimed, "What's going on?"
Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "The only ones who know about this are a few of us: you, me, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, and Jia Zhangshi."
When Jia Zhangshi was mentioned, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong were stunned. They exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "Jia Zhangshi!"
Liu Haizhong said angrily, "I knew that woman was unreliable! How dare he? How dare he?"
Yan Fugui looked at the angry Liu Haizhong and said, "Let's not discuss this now. Let's hurry up and go find Jia Zhangshi and ask her what happened."
The two soon arrived at Jia Zhangshi's house.
The door to Jia Zhang's house was locked tightly from the inside.
Liu Haizhong pounded on the door with all his might but no one answered. He became furious and said, "Now we don't need to confirm, it must be Jia Zhangshi."
Yan Fugui was utterly speechless at Jia Zhangshi's actions.
Instead of thinking about how to explain, Jia Zhangshi's first thought was how to hide.
Yan Fugui called inside, "Jia Zhangshi, open the door. Even if you don't, we know you're home."
Hearing the shouts and knocking outside, Jia Zhangshi was so frightened that she hid under the cabinet.
Seeing his mother's state, Jia Dongxu hurriedly shouted, "Mom, what are you doing? Go open the door!"
Madam Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "Open the door, or Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui will eat me alive!"
Jia Dongxu was utterly exhausted. He said, "Mom, even if you don't open the door, does that mean this matter will just end like this? It was bound to happen sooner or later. If you open the door and explain things clearly, maybe they won't really do anything to you. If you act like this, we'll definitely offend them both terribly."
Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhangshi crawled out from under the table and asked earnestly, "Really?"
Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Really."
Soon, Jia Zhangshi pulled open the bolt on the door.
Liu Haizhong was furious when he saw Jia Zhangshi open the door. He immediately cursed, "Jia Zhangshi, you bastard, you actually know how to open the door? Who told you to hide?"
Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong, tugged at him and said, "Alright, stop making noise outside, let's talk inside."
The two men glared angrily at Jia Zhangshi, who felt guilty and didn't know what to do.
Yan Fugui looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "Jia Zhangshi, what exactly happened? How dare you tell everyone?"
Madam Jia hurriedly explained, "I spoke without thinking..."
Liu Haizhong was immediately furious and said, "You've got us all in deep trouble because of your loose tongue."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui now wished they could beat up Jia Zhangshi.
Seeing the two of them looking angry, Jia Zhangshi said, "You can't blame me. I didn't mean to either. Who knew they would spread the word?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui immediately felt he had grasped a clue and said, "Jia Zhangshi, tell me in detail what exactly happened?"
Jia Zhangshi quickly recounted her conversation with several gossipy women in the courtyard.
Yan Fugui suddenly realized what had happened and said, "You idiot, you've been tricked."
Liu Haizhong and Jia Zhangshi both looked at Yan Fugui, and immediately became puzzled.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Fugui and said, "Old Yan, tell me what exactly happened?"
Yan Fugui analyzed, "He Daqing must be behind this. Otherwise, why would those gossipy women in our courtyard ask Jia Zhangshi about this? Even if one person is interested, it's impossible for so many people to be interested at the same time."
Suddenly, they all realized what was going on.
Jia Zhangshi said angrily, "These people, I'll tear them to pieces, those stinking mouths!"
Liu Haizhong stopped Jia Zhangshi directly, saying, "What are you doing? Will hitting someone solve the problem?"
Yan Fugui also advised, "Alright, Jia Zhangshi, even if you go to them now, they won't admit it. Besides, how do you know which one of them spread the word, or if everyone did?"
Upon hearing Yan Fugui's words, Jia Zhangshi immediately wilted and said, "Then what should we do?"
Yan Fugui looked at Jia Zhangshi and said, "You should have less contact with them during this period. Just deny everything about this matter and don't say anything else."
Hearing Yan Fugui's words, Jia Zhangshi wanted to say something, but Jia Dongxu shouted directly from the bed, "Mom, just listen to what Uncle Yi and Uncle Er say."
Hearing Jia Dongxu's words, Jia Zhangshi nodded.
Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui left the Jia family side by side.
