Chapter 591: The Battle between the Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law of the Jia Family

Such a big commotion at the Jia family naturally attracted the neighbors, and everyone rushed to the Jia family to watch the fun.

At this time, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen were just going home after class. Xu Huizhen saw a group of people gathered at the door of Jia's house, so she hurriedly left He Yuzhu and ran to eat melons.

He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, parked his bicycle, and followed.

He Yuzhu came to the Jia family and saw the mess in the living room. Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were lying on the ground fighting desperately, while Xiaodang and Huaihua were hiding in the corner, trembling and crying loudly.

The beasts watched the fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family without feeling the slightest bit of surprise. They ate melon seeds and commented on the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were fighting on the ground.

"Look, there are white cloth, candles, and Jia Dongxu's portrait on the ground. I guess Jia Zhang is setting up a mourning hall again and forcing Qin Huairu to swear an oath."

"It's a pity that Jia Zhang made a wrong calculation. Qin Huairu is no longer the same Qin Huairu as before. She will no longer not fight back when she is beaten or scolded."

"Setting up a mourning hall?" Xu Huizhen looked at He Yuzhu with a puzzled look.

He Yuzhu explained with a smile: "In order to achieve her own goals, Jia Zhang often took out her son's portrait and placed it in the mourning hall, and asked Qin Huairu to kneel in front of the portrait and swear a poisonous oath, such as not to remarry or have affairs with other men, etc."

"Qin Huairu's affair this time is considered a violation of her previous oath, so this old man brought out his son's portrait again."

"Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. I guess Qin Huairu couldn't stand it this time and exploded completely."

Xu Huizhen felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, and said in a trembling voice:

"This old woman is so abominable. If I were her daughter-in-law, I would have exploded long ago."

"In that case, Qin Huairu is quite pitiful."

He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "There must be something hateful about pitiful people. Qin Huairu tolerated Jia Zhang's various difficulties and accepted Jia Zhang's unreasonable requests in order to maintain her image as a good daughter-in-law. But Jia Zhang developed a habit and treated Qin Huairu even more harshly."

"Now that Qin Huairu's reputation is ruined, she no longer needs to maintain her image as a good daughter-in-law, so she fought with Jia Zhang."

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen jokingly said, "So the situation here is so complicated!"

He Yuzhu raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think? No one in this courtyard is simple, so you should be more careful of them in the future."

Xu Huizhen said confidently: "Husband, don't worry, I am not a fool. There are not many people in this world who can deceive me."

Seeing Xu Huizhen acting like she was very smart, He Yuzhu couldn't help but remind her:

"Wife, don't be too conceited. There are many smart people in this world. If you are too conceited, you will suffer a great loss."

Xu Huizhen looked at him mischievously and said, "Hubby, don't be so serious. I'm just kidding you."

He Yuzhu pretended to be angry and said, "How dare you, you bastard, to tease me? I will punish you in bed later."

Xu Huizhen's pretty face turned red, and she asked provocatively, "Who's afraid of who?"

He Yuzhu felt that his dignity as a man was trampled upon, and he pulled Xu Huizhen home.

Xu Huizhen broke free from He Yuzhu's hand and changed the subject:

"Husband, as the eldest uncle in the courtyard, are you going to just watch the Jia family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight?"

He Yuzhu said calmly: "The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are angry now. If you pull them apart, they will continue to fight. When they get tired, they will naturally stop."

At this time, Liu Haizhong came up to He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice:

"Zhu Zi, have you heard about the job transfer in the third workshop?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, you want to inquire about your job transfer, right?"

Liu Haizhong smiled awkwardly and said, "Indeed, I thought that after the factory announced the punishment results for Qin Huairu and Guo Piezi, they would announce the candidates for the new director and deputy director of the third workshop, but I didn't expect that there has been no news yet."

He Yuzhu shook his head and said, "Uncle Liu, unfortunately, I haven't heard any news."

"But you don't have to rush. It's only been a day, so it shouldn't be that fast. After all, the workshop director is already a senior member of the factory, and the leaders need to consider many aspects."

"You need to show more during this period of time and let the leaders see your ability."

Liu Haizhong said solemnly: "Zhu Zi, do you think my chances of being promoted to deputy director are high?"

He Yuzhu said against his will: "Uncle Liu, you are a seventh-level fitter with superb skills. You have trained many outstanding apprentices. In addition, with Zou Yundong's strong recommendation, your hope should be great."

"However, you can't take it lightly. It would be best if you could give some gifts to the factory director and deputy director."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong slapped himself and said with annoyance:

"I am so careless. How could I forget to give a gift to my leader?"

"Zhu Zi, thank you for your reminder. I have been a little too proud of myself recently. I thought that with Zou Yundong's recommendation, the position of deputy director is a sure thing."

"I didn't realize that the factory director and deputy factory director are the key to my promotion. I will go give them gifts tomorrow."

After finishing the conversation with Liu Haizhong, He Yuzhu turned his attention to the battlefield again.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu continued to fight back and forth. Originally, Jia Zhang was old and weak, so she could not beat Qin Huairu, but Qin Huairu was injured and her movements were affected, so the two of them were able to fight on equal terms.

As time went by, Jia Zhang gradually became exhausted and was beaten by Qin Huairu.

Seeing that it was almost time, He Yuzhu stepped forward and pulled the two men apart.

As soon as Qin Huairu was pulled away, Jia Zhang started to throw a tantrum and cry loudly again.

"It's so unfair that the daughter-in-law actually hits the mother-in-law!"

"Dongxu! Hurry up and open your eyes. Your damn wife not only smashed your portrait, but also beat your mother to death."

"Old Jia! Dongxu's wife is disobedient and unfilial. Not only has she cheated on other men and ruined the reputation of my Jia family, she has also abused me. You should take her away with you!"

He Yuzhu was immediately bored when he saw Jia Zhang repeating the same lines over and over again, and whispered to Xu Huizhen:

"Wife, there's nothing to see, let's go back!"

Xu Huizhen still watched with great interest and said excitedly:

"Hubby, the way Jia Zhang throws a tantrum is quite amusing, let's watch it for a while!"

He Yuzhu's face flashed with helplessness, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Then you continue to watch. I'll go back and boil the water for washing feet."

Xu Huizhen waved her hand casually and said softly, "Husband, then you go back first, I will be back soon."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, turned and left.

When Jia Zhang saw He Yuzhu leaving, she screamed, "He Yuzhu, you can't leave. You are the boss of the courtyard, you have to make the decision for me."

He Yuzhu stopped and turned around, saying indifferently: "Jia Zhang, this is your family affair, not within my scope of responsibility."

"As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, I am only responsible for mediating conflicts between neighbors. I cannot mediate conflicts within your family. After all, even an honest official would have difficulty in settling family disputes."

"I suggest you go to the street office or call the police, but setting up a mourning hall at home is considered promoting feudal superstition. Even if you call the police and have Qin Huairu arrested, you will also go to jail."
