Chapter 264 1 Falling
At this time, Chu Tian stood aside, carefully appreciating Yi Zhonghai's expression. Chu Tian was a young man in the courtyard, and he couldn't stand Yi Zhonghai's arrogant look. Now that he saw Yi Zhonghai was defeated, he was very happy. Chu Tian's mouth corners slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with a gloating light.
Yi Zhonghai felt Chu Tian's gaze and became even more angry. He glared at Chu Tian fiercely, but did not dare to say anything more. After all, he was at the center of the storm, and if he was not careful, he would cause more trouble.
As the days passed, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't get over the humiliation. He began to become silent in the yard and no longer actively handled the affairs of the yard as before. Qin Huairu also became more cautious in the yard because of this incident, fearing that she would cause any more trouble.
Chu Tian would occasionally hang around in front of Yi Zhonghai, deliberately provoking him. He would casually mention the conference in front of Yi Zhonghai, or say a few words in a teasing tone. Although Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his teeth itched, he could only pretend not to hear it.
Since that conference, Qin Huairu's reputation has plummeted, becoming even more infamous than before. In this small courtyard, she seems to have become someone that everyone avoids.
On this day, Jia Zhang learned that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were criticized in public, and her anger was instantly ignited. Her fat body was shaking with anger, and her eyes were full of angry flames. Without saying a word, she picked up a broom and rushed out, cursing and shouting: "Qin Huairu, you shameless thing, you have brought shame to our Jia family!"
Qin Huairu was in the yard, thinking about what to do in the future, when she heard Jia Zhang's angry scolding. Before she could react, she saw Jia Zhang rushing towards her waving a broom. She turned around and ran away in panic, with Jia Zhang chasing after her.
"You unlucky star, it's not enough that you killed my son, now you're doing such a shameful thing, I'll beat you to death!" Jia Zhang chased and cursed, waving the broom in the air with a whirring sound.
When the people in the yard heard the noise, they all ran out to watch the fun. They gathered in a circle and watched Jia Zhang chasing Qin Huairu and beating her, with all kinds of complicated expressions on their faces. Some people gloated over the misfortune, some shook their heads and sighed, and some people whispered to the side.
"Look at this Qin Huairu. She usually looks weak and fragile, but I didn't expect that she could do such a thing." An old lady said with a pout.
"That's right. Now his reputation has spread to the streets." Another woman echoed.
"Hmph, a widow should stick to her duties. Now she's become a laughing stock in the whole courtyard." An old man couldn't help but interject.
Qin Huairu felt wronged and ashamed when she heard these words. She ran away crying and begging for mercy: "Mom, please stop hitting me. I know I was wrong." But Jia Zhangshi refused to listen and continued to chase her.
This farce lasted for a long time, until someone couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop Jia Zhangshi, and the chase stopped. Qin Huairu collapsed on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She knew that her future life would be even more difficult.
Jia Dongxu was lying on the sickbed, his pale and weak face now flushed with anger. He never thought that his beloved wife Qin Huairu, the woman who worked day and night for the family, had an ambiguous relationship with Yi Zhonghai.
"Qin Huairu, you still have the nerve to come back? You shameless woman!" Jia Dongxu pointed at Qin Huairu with trembling hands, his voice full of anger and disappointment.
"I always thought you worked hard to run the household and gave everything for our family. But what about you? You actually did such a shameful thing! Where can I put my face? How can our children live in the future?" Jia Dongxu became more and more angry as he spoke, his chest heaving violently.
"Tell me, isn't it good for you to stay at this family? Why do you have to go and fool around with that Yi Zhonghai. What can he give you? Is he more important than this family?" Jia Dongxu's eyes were wide open, as if fire was about to spit out of his eyes.
"I am really blind. I still feel sorry for you. You are just a fickle woman and don't deserve my sympathy at all." Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and shot his words at Qin Huairu like sharp arrows.
"Look at yourself now, are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of our children? You have destroyed this family!" Jia Dongxu roared at the top of his lungs, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.
Qin Huairu stood in the middle of the room, silently enduring Jia Dongxu's insults. The tears on her face had long dried up, replaced by a deep indifference. She hated Jia Dongxu to the extreme. In her opinion, this man was a complete coward and a mama's boy.
She recalled the days over the years, every time Jia Zhang bullied her, Jia Dongxu always huddled aside, not daring to say a word. She endured her mother-in-law's harassment and insults alone, and this man who should have been her support had never stood up for her.
At this moment, Bang Geng came over, his little face full of worry. "Dad, Mom, stop arguing." His voice was trembling.
Jia Dongxu was in a rage, and when he saw Banggeng coming over, instead of calming down, he angrily cursed Banggeng a few times: "Get out of the way, you little bastard, it's all your mother's fault."
Banggeng was frightened by his father's scolding, tears welled up in his eyes and he burst into tears. When Xiaodang heard his brother crying, he also started crying. The cries of the two children echoed in the house, which made people feel distressed.
Qin Huairu looked at the crying children and could no longer suppress her anger. She suddenly raised her head, glared at Jia Dongxu, and began to retort: "Jia Dongxu, what qualifications do you have to scold children? What good things have you done? You are a useless man, what else can you do besides scolding people?"
"Can't you see how much I have given to this family? You only know how to lose your temper here. Have you ever thought about the feelings of the three of us, mother and son?" Qin Huairu's voice trembled with anger.
"When your mother bullied me, you never dared to say a word, but now you have the nerve to scold me and the child. You are a coward, a mama's boy who only knows to listen to your mother." Qin Huairu became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes full of disappointment and anger towards Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu was speechless after Qin Huairu's retort. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. The room fell into silence, with only the children's crying continuing. This family storm made this already restless courtyard even more full of contradictions and disputes.
