Chapter 308 The Formidable Deaf Old Woman
The matter is now essentially over.
Li Qin had no interest in staying any longer, since he had to go to night school later.
However, before leaving, Li Qin pulled Xu Damao back.
"Da Mao, I'm going out in a bit. I'm going home to pack up first. Do you want to come back with me?"
While speaking, Li Qin kept giving Xu Damao meaningful glances.
It was rare to see He Yuzhu eating, especially since he was completely unable to resist. Xu Damao originally wanted to watch for a while longer.
But after seeing Li Qin's signal, he nodded immediately without hesitation and replied:
"I'm going back too."
A look of satisfaction flashed in Li Qin's eyes upon seeing this.
He then greeted the people around him and walked straight to the backyard, while Xu Damao followed closely by Li Qin.
At this moment, most of the people in the courtyard were focused on Jia Zhangshi cursing He Yuzhu.
Only a few people were watching Li Qin and Xu Damao's departing figures.
These people all had strange looks in their eyes:
They had lived in this courtyard house for quite some time. In the past, whenever He Yuzhu and Xu Damao had a dispute, as long as Xu Fugui was not around, they would resolve it.
In the end, Xu Damao is basically the one who suffers the loss.
But this time, Li Qin easily turned the tide for Xu Damao with just a few words.
These people couldn't help but admire Li Qin's prowess.
Yi Zhonghai was also watching Li Qin and Xu Damao's backs, a cold glint in his eyes.
Li Qin was already a formidable opponent.
Unexpectedly, there's now another Xu Damao.
Although Xu Damao was once considered a "troublemaker" in the courtyard, with his abilities and He Yuzhu's martial arts skills, he was able to overcome the challenges.
They can still be easily suppressed.
However, Li Qin's intervention to help Xu Damao this time changed the outcome.
Most importantly, Xu Damao is usually close to Li Qin. If the two of them join forces, it won't be a good thing for him.
Moreover, once Li Qin and Xu Damao are on the same side, Xu Fugui and the Xu family may join forces with Li Qin.
This is quite disadvantageous for him, the person in charge.
Once Li Qin and Xu Damao's figures disappeared, Yi Zhonghai turned his gaze back to the direction of Jia Zhangshi and He Yuzhu's house.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhangshi, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes; when he looked at He Yuzhu's house, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.
Given Yi Zhonghai's cunning and the fact that He Yuzhu was already close to him, Yi Zhonghai had long ago realized He Yuzhu's feelings for Qin Huai.
However, in Yi Zhonghai's mind, He Yuzhu was just a henchman, so Yi Zhonghai didn't point it out, nor did he correct He Yuzhu's thinking.
Unexpectedly, Li Qin seized the opportunity to exploit this situation.
However, this matter still needs to be resolved; we can't just let Jia Zhangshi continue cursing like this.
Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged woman.
Then Yi Zhonghai gestured with his eyes to an older woman, and then gestured with his eyes towards the backyard.
The middle-aged woman immediately understood Yi Zhonghai's meaning, then quietly slipped out of the crowd and hurried to the backyard.
As for what to do, it was naturally to invite the "ancestor," the deaf old lady, to make an appearance.
Yi Zhonghai knew very well that even if he stepped forward now, he would not be able to suppress Jia Zhangshi, especially given how things had developed.
If he were to stand up for He Yuzhu, it wouldn't be good for his reputation.
Therefore, it is best to let someone else handle it.
Most importantly, in the entire courtyard, Jia Zhangshi was not afraid of even Yi Zhonghai; only the deaf old woman in the backyard could keep Jia Zhangshi in check.
In addition, the deaf old woman held a high position in the hearts of the courtyard residents because of her fictitious status as a family member of a martyr.
Only the deaf old woman could suppress what happened tonight.
At least this matter won't spread, so He Yuzhu's reputation can be barely preserved.
Soon, an older woman helped the deaf old woman onto the stage.
"Zhang Xiaohua, what are you doing making such a racket in the yard so late at night? Don't you want this old woman to get some sleep?"
Despite her advanced age, the deaf old lady still speaks with a strong voice.
Zhang Xiaohua is Jia Zhangshi's real name.
With a loud shout from the deaf old woman, Jia Zhangshi, who was pointing at He Yuzhu's house and cursing, was immediately silenced.
Upon hearing the deaf old woman's voice, the crowd that had been watching immediately made way for her.
The deaf old woman pushed away the middle-aged woman who was supporting her, and then walked along the road with her cane to Jia Zhangshi.
"Zhang Xiaohua, I heard you cursing as soon as I got here, and it was such awful language. What are you trying to do?"
The deaf old woman said with a dissatisfied look.
Looking at the old woman in front of her, a look of fear flashed in Jia Zhangshi's eyes.
My body instinctively wanted to back away.
However, remembering what had just happened, Jia Zhangshi immediately stopped and, regardless of whether it was shameful or not, told everyone what had happened.
As Jia Zhangshi spoke, she became more and more agitated, and even her fear of the deaf old woman was temporarily suppressed.
After she finished speaking, Jia Zhangshi looked at He Yuzhu's house again with a hostile expression.
Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's words, the deaf old woman fell silent for a moment.
Just now, because of the urgency, the old lady only said that Jia Zhangshi was cursing He Yuzhu and needed her help to resolve the matter.
She didn't explain in detail what had just happened, and only now did she learn the truth.
The deaf old woman glanced subtly in Yi Zhonghai's direction, a look of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
Yi Zhonghai noticed this and quickly put on a flattering smile.
Seeing this, the deaf old woman had no choice but to look away and turn her gaze back towards He Yuzhu's house.
He Yuzhu was also part of the deaf old woman's scheme, so he really needed to intervene in this matter.
The deaf old woman first glanced at everyone present, then said in a serious tone:
"Zhu Zi is a simple-minded person, but he is not good with words and often cannot clearly express his thoughts."
I think it will be the same this time.
Zhu Zi probably only cared about Jia's daughter-in-law because he felt close to her, which is why he reacted so strongly when something happened.
He certainly didn't have any bad intentions; he just didn't express himself clearly, which led to the misunderstanding. I hope everyone can understand.
As she said this, the deaf old woman looked at Jia Zhangshi with a deep, wistful gaze.
Upon hearing the deaf old woman's words, Jia Zhangshi's face immediately showed anger and hostility, and her mouth even moved:
It seems like they wanted to say something.
But when he saw the deaf old woman's deep eyes, the words that were on the tip of his tongue suddenly caught in his throat.
Then, without realizing it, she slowly lowered her head.
When the deaf old woman saw that Jia Zhangshi had been subdued, a look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Then, with a gentle smile on his face, he addressed the group of residents who were watching the scene unfold.
"Now that things have been clarified and the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I hope this matter will end here and remain confined to our courtyard."
We all live in the same compound; if word gets out, it will be embarrassing for everyone.
